Won a Grade 3 AQPS Flat race at Lyon-Parilly (1m4f, very soft) in September 2024; encouraging 2.25l third of 12 in maiden hurdle at Killarney (2m4f, gd-yld) last month after mammoth layoff; ought to be sharper now and leading claims dropped in trip for top yard.
Comment
Gr 3 AQPS winner in France in 2024, sharper for Killarney comeback third, leading claims
Stable Tour
"He won a bumper in France and looks like one who will appreciate soft ground. He looks more of a stayer than a speed horse at this stage. 17-11-25"

Modest Flat winner in France made a very pleasing stable and hurdling debut when a 3.75l third of 14 at Cork (17.5f, good) when a 33-1 shot; the runner up from that race won a maiden hurdle by 15l next time and the winner was placed in Listed company on the Flat; should come on for that first run for six months; interesting.
Comment
Form of Cork stable debut third boosted by the runner up next time, interesting runner
