Closely related to bumper winner/smart hurdler Marie's Rock, and half-brother to bumper winner/smart hurdler Arcadian Sunrise. Well-backed 13/8, impressive when winning 9-runner bumper at Ballinrobe by 12 lengths 85 days ago. Has since joined a top yard and is a useful jumps prospect.

9/2
£330,000 point winner who took Leopardstown bumper in December. Just sixth of 9 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16.1f, soft) 177 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and should make his mark over jumps.

Forecasts

Vitorio Piel (8/13), Gameball (15/8), Kovanis (9/2), O'Reilly (11/1), Minella Hollow (12/1), The Guinness Boys (66/1), Urban War (80/1), Tellmemamema (80/1), Pavilion End (125/1), Back To Cali (125/1), On The High Seas (150/1), Magnificent Era (250/1), Premier Banner (250/1), Something Black (250/1)

13:55 Punchestown - 15 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The well-touted VITORIO PIEL destroyed a big field first time up in a bumper here in the spring and looks a cracking prospect. He can make a successful switch to hurdles, perhaps the chief expense of another jumper to follow in Gameball, who also left his rivals in his wake in his bumper at Ballinrobe, and has since joined Henry de Bromhead.
