Two starts ago, Sir Erec was just two lengths down on Stradivarius in the QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot for trainer Aiden O'Brien, yet now he looks to be amongst the best juveniles around when it comes to hurdling.
Now with son Joseph, Sir Erec showed a great attitude on stable debut when beating Tiger Tap Tap here after Christmas, and faces a fascinating rematch against the latter in the Grade One Spring Juvenile Hurdle.
Very likeable type, could and should be more to come.
