FormscanBy John O'Riordan - SOUNDS VICTORIUS, a course bumper winner before subsequently finishing fourth in Grade 1 bumpers both at Cheltenham and the festival here, can make a winning debut over hurdles. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding, who has the potential to take high rank in the novice division this season, should have too much class for these opponents. The Diddler, who has reached the frame on both starts over flights, has to rate the main danger. Given her previous experience of jumping, the six-year-old mare looks the one for minor honours. Limerick bumper winner The Dancing Tree was unable to get involved at Cheltenham last time but shouldn't be discounted despite needing to take another step forward.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting that are EBF eligible and which had been purchased as an unraced three or four year old at Public Auction under the hammer in Ireland or Great Britain for #45,000 or less at a recognised National Hunt Store Sale and that have not been purchased at Public Auction under the hammer in Ireland or Great Britain for any more than #45,000 at any time and that have not won a race under any N.H. Rules or Rules of Racing other than one I.N.H. flat race or N.H. flat race value not more than #12,000
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 11lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs Mares allowed 7lbs

Quotes on Sounds Victorius (IRE)
You could see he was learning all the way up the straight in Leopardstown (runner-up on debut). Obviously, he didn’t take all those lessons to heart and had to relearn today. He did it the hard way, but is obviously full of stamina. I was very happy with Inn At The Park as well and he’ll win before too long.
