Last time out Sa Fureur was positioned behind the leader initially, then dropped to third place after the sixth obstacle. By the time they approached the eighth obstacle, he had moved up to fourth position. He made a move before the third last obstacle and advanced to second place after clearing it. He then challenged the leader at the second last obstacle and briefly took the lead before being overtaken just before the final obstacle. In the last 100 yards, he regained the lead by a narrow margin and held on to win the race.

He is a gutsy type that should keep improving, holds entries in the Supreme and the Ballymore and this looks an ideal chance to notch up the hat-trick.
