Fairyhouse Winter Festival 29th & 30th November Rated Race

Plenty of Flat racing experience in France, winning twice (1m4f on soft ground); has run three times over hurdles for this stable; promising introduction when second of 18 at Down Royal; Killarney run may have come too soon, made amends with Listowel win; interesting here, though might not want the ground too quick.

Won 1m4f maiden at this venue last summer; also won a Dundalk handicap over the same trip in January; good effort when fourth of 20 in a Curragh handicap over this trip in May; appeared not to stay in a 2m race at the same venue ten days ago.

Winner of a beginners' chase at Down Royal on his penultimate start; has also won on the Flat (three seasons ago for the Gosdens) and twice over hurdles; best Flat performance came in defeat when a front-running second in the big amateur handicap at last season's Galway festival; worth a look with a return to Ballybrit on the cards.

Improved sort last year, winning three times, including over this trip at Listowel (yielding) final start; made a bright start to the season when fourth of 21 in a handicap over this trip at Navan a month ago.

Won his fifth race when landing a 1m4f handicap at Leopardstown in May; met trouble in running over 1m6f at the Curragh on his next start, and did well in the circumstances to finish just behind fourth-placed Brosna Town; not quite at his best at the same venue last time.
