KIBRIS was ultimately well held on his reappearance in a Leopardstown Group 3, but he's in calmer waters now and the abundant promise he showed when winning a maiden at the Curragh during the autumn is not long forgotten. The son of Lope de Vega is taken to get back on track here by outpointing Carolina Jetstream and stablemate Emit.
