Trainer Henry de Bromhead
Won, Down Royal, November 5
This commanding display improved the upwardly mobile chaser’s record to two wins from two starts since joining Henry de Bromhead. His jumping was really impressive and he seemed to relish the decent ground which bodes well for the spring, as should he maintain his progress he will be competing for major prizes at the big festivals this season.

A promising hurdles debut from this five-year-old, who was running for only the second time in his career having won a Wincanton bumper in April.
