A son of the great Milan this fellow is out of a Flemensfirth mare which is the same cross as this year’s Cheltenham and Punchestown Grade 1 winning Marie’s Rock among others which include Sort It Out, Not Available Stand Off and Not Available. Furthermore he is from the family of Topsham Bay, Mixed Blends and Baily Mist. On his only career outing to date he has finished a close second at Ballindenisk to Lunar Contact who had been a fine third on debut at Oldcastle before scoring here. For this debutante to tackle a more experience rival and challenge him to less than a length points to him being a very smart sort indeed and one destined to become a very smart NH performer in the coming seasons.
