An exceptionally talented young horse who falls into the ‘could be anything’ bracket. The six-year-old son of Shantou has won two of his three career starts. He was a good third behind a subsequent Grade 1 hurdle winner Readin Tommy Wrong on his Cork hurdles debut. He then went into bumper company on his second start and won in taking style at Fairyhouse. On his latest outing at Down Royal the growing promise he had been showing fell into place when he won by a massive twenty one lengths. Winning distances of this magnitude are rare in Irish maiden hurdles at this time of year and generally reserved only for those capable of climbing to the very top of the National Hunt ladder. By top sire Shantou this looks to be an exceptional opportunity to secure a very special talent indeed. This relation to The Tullow Tank and Many Clouds rates a very progressive young horse. He holds entries in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and the Baring Bingham Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Early closer) at Cheltenham Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (2m½f). (Early closer) at Cheltenham Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (2m5f).
