FANTASIA D'ALENE finished a close second to subsequent Grade 1 winner Vanillier in a 2m3f Naas maiden in November 2020 but has been an odds-on failure in two subsequent starts. A winning bumper, he's taken to get off the mark over timber though Shantreusse looks a formidable opponent, Henry De Bromhead's charge joined the yard after landing a Clonmel bumper and came up against a smart winner on his hurdling bow in November. Corbeau hasn't run since placed in a Naas bumper in March but Mahler Allstar looks a cracking addition to Jimmy Mangan's team having been placed behind useful rivals in a point, a bumper and a maiden hurdle
