Being a gelding should not be a barrier to success and he is definitely worth keeping an eye on in the weeks ahead.

His closing sectionals would suggest that he is a considerably above average type.

Jean-Claude Rouget has made a habit of winning the 3-year-old maidens at Cagnes-Sur-Mer each year...
