Dysart Dolomite (G)
[T1]
Won 10-runner bumper at Ayr in April but folded tamely when down the field on Fairyhouse hurdle debut in November. Early days but Dani Donadoni has to be considered the stable first string this time.

Smart bumper performer in 2023/34. Promising start to hurdle career after 21 months off when second of 15 in maiden at Cork (15.9f, soft, 15/8) 36 days ago. Up in trip. Should have more to offer.
