Won bumper at Chateaubriant. Fairly useful form over hurdles, much improved when winning juvenile event at Auteuil in April, showing a good attitude. Has left N. Devilder and should progress further.

Confirmed debut promise when staying on strongly to win a bumper here in October 2019. Not far off that level 4 months later but off a fair while ahead of this hurdles debut.

Our Surprise (5/4), Haddex Des Obeaux (13/8), Baddesley (11/2), Zacony Rebel (7/1), San Pedro (22/1), Naturally High (28/1), Agent Saonois (66/1), Titaneasy (150/1), Who Is That (200/1)

HADDEX DES OBEAUX displayed a willing attitude when landing a big-field contest at Auteuil in April, pulling a long way clear with another rival, and he has been found a suitable race on reappearance. Our Surprise also tasted success during the spring and is the obvious threat having undergone a wind op in the interim.
