A very well regarded youngster who was a close third on his debut at Knockanard behind the J P McManus owned winning No Flies On Him. He was left to chase the leader from the third last fence and all the way up the hill before being taken on by the eventual winner but stayed on to be a decent third. He was sent off favourite for this race suggesting his home work had been impressing connections and the run merely confirmed that promise. He is a son of Arcadio who is a great cross into this pedigree with Hardline and The Game Changer prominent on the page. It seems certain that he will improve for a step back in trip going forward looking at this page and the stern test of Knockanard may not have been suiting his natural speed.
