Proved consistent without winning over hurdles and much improved switched to this code/equipped with a tongue strap, readily landing a Fairyhouse maiden (24.4f) in November. Improved further when third in a Punchestown Grade 2 since and he's a player with potential for better still.
|
4-time winner over hurdles who confirmed chase debut promise when winning 10-runner novice chase at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 44 days ago, responding well to edge ahead on the run-in. Further improvement looks on the cards now his stamina is drawn out more.
|
Modest maiden hurdler. 200/1, probably needed the run after 12 months off when eleventh of 13 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.2f, soft) on debut over fences 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip now and he looks set for another struggle.
|
Two wins from 3 starts over hurdles and very bright start over fences, building on his Thurles second when landing 10-runner maiden at Punchestown (23f) 24 days ago, in command between the last 2. Excellent claims once more in receipt of weight all round with the prospect of more to come.

Forecasts
Kurasso Blue (6/4), Flicker Of Hope (7/4), Bossofthebrownies (15/8), Hesasmoothoperator (100/1)
Progressive in a trio of hurdle outings, KURASSO BLUE has made a bright start over fences in recent months, building on his good Thurles second when running out a convincing winner of a Punchestown maiden 24 days ago. Every inch the type to progress further, he makes plenty of appeal in his follow-up bid in receipt of weight all round. Flicker of Hope shades preference over Bossofthebrownies for forecast purposes.
