Beaten when odds-on at Navan last time, the winnjt justified his tall home reputation here, surviving a miutakj at the last to beat Be Home Early bz 1\L. "He is still very raw and needs a stronger pace," revealed O'Brien. "He has lots of speed and we are hoping he'll be our main hope for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham."
