The final circuit time was exceptional when compared to the other races on the card and despite looking green late on, he could be a star.

"This was a nice performance and there may well be more to come from this piece of form"

The 3YO hurdle winner Loup Blond is the most interesting horse to note for the future.

It is hard not to get excited about what he might be able to achieve now that he has begun to mature.

The horses who chased him home had decent form in the book, but they simply couldn't live with his speed after the 2nd last.

The sense I have from watching the replay and the time figures is that this was an above average piece of form for the time of year.
