Verdict
Fairly useful but inconsistent chaser for Henry de Bromhead (sold £6,000). Little impact in Taunton hunter starting out for this yard in January but has won 2 of his 3 starts in points since. Big shout under Gina Andrews.

Dual winner over hurdles although wasn't the slickest of jumpers in that sphere and he jumped right throughout on his chase debut at Warwick 12 months ago. Second all 3 starts in points this year.
