Looked something out of the ordinary in making a winning bumper debut at Hereford (soft) in December but failed to complete through no fault of his own (saddle slipped) at Kempton last month.
€72,000 3-y-o, Goliath du Berlais gelding. Dam, 2¼m hurdle winner in France, half-sister to French hurdler (17f/2¼m winner) Magic Flight and French hurdler/chase winner (17f-2¾m winner) Marvel Flight. One to take seriously on debut for leading yard, especially if supported.
Plenty of stamina in her pedigree but dam won a bumper, and she shaped much better than the beaten distance on debut at Doncaster in November. Likely to be capable of better for yard who does well in this sphere.

Forecasts
Red Metal (5/4), Goliath Flight (6/4), Bannerdown (10/1), Frenati (10/1), Autumn Air (20/1), Monsieur Fernand (25/1), Equi Libre (33/1)
RED METAL remains one to be interested in following his impressive debut success. Newcomer Goliath Flight has to be respected for the Skeltons, especially if backed, while sole filly Frenati isn't one to underestimate.
