Leinster Reinforcements & Brazil Piling (Pro/Am) Flat Race

Point winner who looked a top prospect when beating smart opposition in the Grade 2 bumper at the 2024 Dublin Racing Festival; penalised accordingly but perhaps a greater concern is the mammoth absence; market should be informative.

Bought for £300,000 soon after winning a Navan bumper in early December; he took a tall reputation into a Grade 2 at Leopardstown in early February and was backed accordingly, only for his effort to peter out after briefly threatening up the straight; the runner-up wasn't beaten that far at Cheltenham and this 5yo surely has a lot more to offer.

Second in a maiden hurdle on debut; flopped in his first bumper but won the second at Thurles on soft ground; this race is considerably stronger than that one.

Well-held third behind useful opposition in a French hurdle; it wasn't pretty when winning at Navan but the ground was heavy and he got the job done at odds of 4-1; open to further improvement and the recent rain is welcome.

Narrowly failed to win his only point and then fetched £280,000 at the sales; difficult to know what he achieved at Punchestown (heavy) as he dictated a modest pace in a tiny field, though the second has since come out and finished runner-up in a big-field maiden hurdle; this son of Walk In The Park is unexposed and promising.
