The €130,000 French recruit is unbeaten in two starts for Ireland’s champion trainer, following up an impressive Fairyhouse success with a similarly dominant display at Limerick on St Stephen’s Day.

The five-year-old is set to travel to Britain for this weekend’s valuable handicap, with Andrew Lynch, retained rider for owners Ann and Alan Potts, due to take the ride.
