Very useful chaser, from whom there is undoubtedly more to come he is a nice one to have as a single pick. He is ex French and had 9 runs in France before crossing the channel.

He made a winning debut at Lyon – Parilly in 1 m 7f hurdle in March 2009, was unplaced in 2 subsequent runs then 2^nd before returning to winning ways at Enghein in a 2m 1f hurdle in October 2009 beating Celtill ½ l. He followed up over cours and distance a month later beating Good Lord 4l, then took a listed 2m 2f hurdle at Auteuil by ¾ l from Lucky to Be in September 2010. He was then 6^th and 2^nd in similar events , after which he joined Paul Nicholls.

His first run here was at Cheltenham in December 2010 in a grade 2 , 2m 1f listed hurdle, where he was fifth beaten 10 ¾ l behind Menorah. He returned to Cheltenham in January 2011, running 7^th in a 3m grade 2 hurdle, 36 l behind Grand Crus. Not seen for a year, he reappeared at Cheltenham this January, winning a 2m 3f beginners chase by 25 l from Simply Wings, and followed up at Kempton in a 2m 4f grade 2 novice chase beating Duke of Lucca 13l .

He then pulled up at Cheletenham in March in the 2m 4f Jewson Novice chase, and finished the season with a 7l 2^nd to Menorah at Aintree in the grade 1 Manifesto novice chase.

We won the 2m 4f grade 2 chase at Dwon Royal recently in taking style by 9l from Jacksonlady, and should win plenty more races.
