Confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut in good style fitted with a tongue tie when winning 2m Cork juvenile last month. Open to further improvement but this is a big leap.

Macho Man (G)
Decisive winner at Auteuil in October and good efforts behind Proactif at Fairyhouse on his completed starts since (pulled up after bad mistake fourth in the Triumph). Clearly needs to pull out a bit…

Off the mark in 2m Gowran juvenile in February. Found the Fred Winter too competitive, his jumping suffering, and he's down the Willie Mullins pecking order here.

Quickly developed into a useful hurdler at Auteuil, his latest success coming in a Group 3 over 2¼m in September. Interesting contender for new connections.

One Horse Town (G)
Fair Flat winner for this yard and landed first 4 starts over hurdles, including a Cheltenham Grade 2 in November, but his form has levelled off (well held in the Triumph 7 weeks ago).

Saratoga (G)
Improving all the time and followed in the footsteps of his half-brother Brazil in landing the Fred Winter at Cheltenham in the manner of a smart prospect. Well worth his place at this level.
