Kainsbourg
2-2 in French bumpers; 2-10 and rated 130 over hurdles; fine second in Grade 2 novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f, good) in October; tailed off in rated hurdle when last seen at Fairyhouse in November; that was too bad to be true and his dam won over fences so could improve for switch to chasing but stamina to prove for this trip.

From the connections
“We quickened up into the straight and Kainsbourg kept at it well, he was tough. It's always a privilege to put on these colours and I'm delighted to get a winner for Mr McManus - Jack Kennedy, jockey.”
“At the top of the hill I thought I'd use Kainsbourg's experience. He was good at the last two, long and low. It might not have been the strongest on paper but he had the form to do it. The cheekpieces helped and hopefully he'll go on from this -Jordan Gainford, jockey, speaking to Racing TV.”
