Verdict

NARCISO HAS catapulted himself to the head of the Triumph Hurdle market when making all in a Grade 2 over C&D on Boxing Day, displaying an excellent blend of both speed and stamina, and looks the one to beat. Mange Tout stretched her unbeaten record to 3 when beating the selection in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse but Narciso Has was making his reappearance that day.
