I can't think of another horse who has gone from running in a Grade 2 hurdle at Merano in Italy in June to a Novice hurdle at Ludlow.

She is likely to be a horse for 2026 and beyond rather than graded novice hurdle races this season.

The 3YO hurdle winner Loup Blond is the most interesting horse to note for the future.

Both Losange Bleu and Il Est Francais make their autumnal return at Auteuil on Saturday, here is my summary of what they're up against.

It is hard not to get excited about what he might be able to achieve now that he has begun to mature.

There is really only one place to start with Tuesday's Auteuil preview and that is with the feature race.

Having watched thousands of French races over the years, there aren't too many performance that leave me speechless, but this was one.

This wasn't the deepest race by any means, but there was a manner to his victory that offered some hope for a promising career.

There were some interesting races in the French provinces on Thursday and the 3 Flat races run at Vittel were the ones to catch my eye.

He is from a consistent family that know how to win races and he should provide his new connections with some success in his novice campaign
