Sourced in Ireland from Bryan Murphy, he was a tricky customer at first and still has his own way. Rosie does well with him as he is a horse needing a lot of patience. Ran in a bumper at Carlisle staying well despite his greenness. And then another bumper and novice hurdle last season before finishing runner up to Escapeandevade at Ayr and this form was franked next time out winning by 4 ½ lengths staying well at Newcastle 2m4f good to soft with Onward Route and Deeper Blue behind b, both of whom have since won twice. Given an opening mark of 119 he ran in two handicaps on good at Doncaster not enjoying the quicker ground and then only beaten a length in a blanket finish in The Craigie Cup at Ayr back on soft. Opens his account this time off 117 and has strengthened up again from last year - jumping was good and would like to think that he will hopefully be a decent handicapper at three miles plus/Novice Chaser.
