At the Tattersalls Horses in Training sale in October we bought this magnificent son of Arch for 135,000 guineas. He really is a splendid individual who will be trained by Paul Nicholls and who looks to be a seriously exciting hurdler in the making. On pedigree, looks and performance he ticks all the boxes; he is rated 95 by the official handicapper and 101+ by Timeform and he is the winner of two races from only six starts so has the size and scope to improve considerably the older he gets.
By mid-December, Sunwise had started schooling outside and has taken to jumping really well. He seems to thoroughly enjoy it and, as well as being able to stand off at his hurdles, he is also quick and clever when he gets in close. Despite the current freezing conditions, he looks tremendous in his skin and physically he has strengthened up considerably behind the saddle since joining Paul.
On 14th February Sunwise ran very respectably on his debut at Exeter to achieve third, beaten 2½ lengths.
