Lightly raced and progressive, he'll jump fences one day but may stay over hurdles this season – he can run in novices but you're more likely to see him in handicap company at 2m.

Out of a half-sister to Grade 1 winner J'y Vole, this is a very big horse who was very green last season and did well to win his bumper first time out. That was on soft ground and obviously he copes with it, but he wouldn't have to have it, and he'll be running in 2m4f novice hurdles. Hopefully he'll make up into a nice staying chaser one day.

Made a very good start to his career when staying on well to win a novice hurdle at Exeter despite naturally running a bit green. One day he'll jump fences but he'll spend the season over hurdles at around 2m4f.
