Cleverly campaigned so far, you would normally say a Willie Mullins horse unbeaten in 9 starts was top class, but so far this one has been kept away from the top level. Surely this has to be the season he is pitched in to all the top class races, at present it seems he stays over hurdles. He started his career in France, winning a 1m 4f bumper at Macheoul, then at Saint- brieuc, in a similar event. He made his Irish debut at Punchestown in February 2013, beating Sammy Black in a 2m maiden hurdle by 6l, and followed up over course and distance in April in a novice hurdle, beating Moscow Mannon 13l. He reappeared in December 2013, at Thurles, winning a 2m conditions hurdle by 29 l from Rory O’Moore, then followed up at Navan in January, beating Akatara 53 in another conditions hurdle.He then stepped up in class to a grde 2 , 2m hurdle at Gowran park, beating stable mate Midnight Game 16l, then in March this year went to Auteuil, and won the 2m 3f grade 3 hurdle by a short neck from Gemix, and finished the season over course and distance, winning a grade 2 hurdle by 2 ½ l from  Le Grand Luce. Reportedly highly strung it will be interesting to see if he can step and it will interesting to see how he copes  with the hurly burly of the big festivals.
