VOIX DU REVE has taken a long time to reach his potential having had eight races before scoring at Nancy in September. He followed up in a much better race at Enghien in November and the Triumph Hurdle entry has been found a soft Grade 3 for his Irish debut. Newberry New has also progressed and though it wasn't much of a field he beat at Gowran he did it nicely and will love the conditions. Tocororo landed a course and distance maiden in fine style then appeared to find 2m4f stretching his stamina at Down Royal but Punchestown winner Jazz Ranger had little chance against the useful Footpad at Gowran and was behind Thywillbedone in November. Barnacle Bill only ran three times on the Flat and scored over 1m4f at Tipperary last summer.
