HYGGE is very well bred for one of these races and might be the way to go over Code Name Cubitt. Infinity Succes fared best of the six of these to contest the first academy hurdle at Cork and is open to improvement with blinkers now on.

€5,000 yearling. Seahenge gelding. Half-brother to 8.5f winner in France Mary White (by Whitecliffsofdover). Dam maiden on Flat in France. Newcomer doesn't jump off the page but represents a shrewd trainer and is worth a market check on debut.

Verdict
Half-sister to 5 winners, including smart hurdler/top-class chaser Balder Succes. Fared best of these at Cork 23 days ago for all she failed to justify substantial late support, inexperience very much her anchor, jumping none too fluently. Blinkers go on and can do better.
