Useful hurdler. Smart effort when winning 6-runner maiden at Navan (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 39 days ago. Can do better again and make his mark at this higher level.

Smart hurdler. Hugely impressive start to his chase career when 11-runner maiden at Punchestown (19f, soft) 33 days ago by 15 lengths from Inothewayurthinkin. Hard to beat.

33/1
Useful chaser. 6 wins from 11 runs this season. Won 2-runner minor event chase (5/6) at Navan (20.4f, heavy) 11 days ago. This demands a lot more of him, though.

Forecasts

Gaelic Warrior (4/7), Il Etait Temps (3/1), American Mike (13/2), Inothewayurthinkin (18/1), Lucid Dreams (33/1)

Verdict

A good renewal. GAELIC WARRIOR won a Grade 1 novice hurdle on his final start last season and the manner of his Punchestown chase debut success last month suggests he can repeat the feat over fences. Stablemate Il Etait Temps can given him most to do ahead of American Mike.
