THE CYPRIOT doesn't have many miles on the clock and he produced much the best effort of his short hurdles career under this conditional rider last time. Morandi Second ran well here in November despite some errant jumping, so he's respected along with Mr Globalist, an interesting stable-newcomer for the Lizzie Quinlan.
