Gelded son of Cokoriko & Unicite ( Dam's sire Alberto Giacometti ) who was last seen at Punchestown 271 days ago where finishing 3rd/6 in the highly competitive Kpmg Champion Novice Grade 1 Hurdle now arriving here in top nick and in very good heart dropping back down in grade here W P Mullins's inmate looks poised to strike and take this Naas Racecourse Business Club Limestone Lad Grade 3 Hurdle and possesses all the necessary credentials to do so and is most certainly open to plenty of progress now as a 6yo worth noting this same jockey / trainer combination won this race last year and holds very strong claims on doing so again with trainer W P Mullins's having won 6 of the last 9 runnings of this contest and jockey P Townend having a healthy 42% strike rate here are Naas yard also saddles Kel Histoire here however Karbau is the percentage call in my point with jockey P Townend taking the ride merits consideration
