Maiden hurdle winner was runner-up in a Grade 1 novice last year before losing his form in that sphere; got off the mark on third chase start when an easy winner at Kilbeggan last time over 2m6f; penalised 6lb for that but should still be difficult to beat even dropping in trip.

Stable Tour
"He's one we kept to go novice hurdling with this season and he's a really nice type. I think he has every chance of making it to the very top and that one day he's going to make a lovely chaser. 25-11-24"
Quotes
"He was plenty keen everywhere but I suppose Supersundae had dropped in class a lot today and it probably wasn't a surprise he was keen. I gave him a squeeze at the back of the last and he was away and gone, I was a long way pulling him up. I was very impressed with him - Kieran Callaghan, jockey, speaking to Racing TV."

Point winner was a smart maiden hurdle winner in 2024 but hasn't really built on that; the best of three runs last season was when second in a Gowran Grade 3 in February; was then outclassed in the Champion Hurdle; yard does well with chasers so can run a big race.

Stable Tour
"He wasn't right after Cheltenham when well beaten in the Supreme. He got a bit of an injury, so he's had a lot of time to recover. He's back tipping away now, but if he's able to run at Christmas we'd be doing well. We're taking each day as it comes. Obviously, his Leopardstown form is very strong from last season. I think we'll stay hurdling this season. 11-11-25"

Dual hurdle winner in France last year before losing his form in the autumn; bought by current trainer for Eur52,000 and gelded since; was an easy winner on chasing debut over C&D nine days ago and can be a player today with more to come.

Quotes
"He was impressive and Eoghan couldn't pull Wild Bill Hickok up. We're not getting carried away with that race as it fell away a bit, but he's a nice prospect going forward. We bought him with the idea of going 4yo chasing, that he would get the allowances. It's starting to work out for us now. We had him as a young horse for Coolmore and Gerry Aherne had recommended him back to me, and that's the way it worked out - Ciaran Murphy, trainer."

Bumper winner took a 2m4f Punchestown maiden hurdle last autumn but was then poor twice after; his yard is in better form now but he has plenty to find on chasing debut with some of these rivals.
Comment
Poor last twice over hurdles; has plenty to find on chasing debut with some of these
