Really looking forward to seeing him reappear and is entered at the weekend, he seemed to be a little underrated last season when appearing to be playing second fiddle to other Mullins horses on the track but showed how good he was in two big race festivals.
His big asset is the way he travels through his races, really strong traveller, his negative is that he fiddled the occasional hurdle which is something that needs addressing over fences.
At first glance I was slightly concerned how he seemed to be coming to the end of his tether over 3 miles at Punchestown but on review I just wonder whether he had hit the front a bit too soon as he maybe wasn't doing too much in front.
Anyway I think he is an obviously very strong early contender for the RSA...which may morph into the JLT later on, which he doesn't seem to be priced up for anywhere at the moment.

I think he is underrated too. I was gutted when he won at Cheltenham because I had him at a great price in the wrong race. I think maybe because it was the Martin Pipe and the CH4 cameras had stopped rolling, he has gone under the radar.
He is near the head of the market for the RSA and the 4 miler and can see him going very close in either of those

First ever G1 hurdle winner sired by Old Vic - he would be renowed far more for siring chasers so promising omen for K Vic who I note is entered up in Punchestown this weekend.
Where the fook is he....threatened to run again today I saw, made way for black hercules in the end.
Got a positive mention from WPM at the Irish Racing Awards last week as a novice chaser to follow
Another fan signing in. Thought the horse was one of the biggest improves of last season, and his run at Punchestown looks really good form.
Steering clear of backing him until his plans become clearer though.

Stellar
good to hear that, hopefully that means chasing this year is still the plan....although we are talking about mullins!

Entered in both 2m & 3m Beginners Chase @ Fairyhouse this Saturday. Hopefully he runs.
