From a successful family and showed plenty in a couple of bumpers and has done the same in reaching the frame both starts over hurdles. Solid claims.

Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Floueur and showed fairly useful form when winning both bumper starts in France for Mlle D. Mele. Very interesting hurdling debutant having joined top connections.

Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to smart hurdler/chaser Kings Palace. Sixth on his only start in Irish points so will need to show more on this switch to Rules.

Has folded tamely both starts in bumpers so it will be interesting to see if a subsequent breathing operation makes any difference on hurdling debut.

Off the mark in Irish points (awarded race) at the second attempt but went with no immediate promise switched to Rules in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow in early November.

IMPOSE TOI showed fairly useful form when winning both bumper starts in France and, having joined top connections, he makes plenty of appeal on his hurdling debut. Egbert rates the main threat ahead of What A Steal.
