"There is no doubt in my mind that he will be next year’s horse and I am more excited to see what he may be capable of in the Spring, possibly over fences as a 4-year-old".

"The number of jumping errors and the bizarre set of circumstances after the last flight have left me with a lot of question marks about this race".

"These 2 would look to be the more likely winners of the last Grade 1 Hurdle race open to the 4-year-olds before they have to taken on their elders next year".

"A winning margin of 20 lengths was a very fair reflection of just how dominant she was".

"He emerged with a lot of credit and should prove more than capable of winning a hurdle as a 3-year-old based on this evidence".

"The fact that they moved to make this purchase in March is highly significant and he is a name to note".

The Prix Pride of Kildare has produced the likes of Live Conti, Jazzy Matty and Haut En Couleurs in recent seasons, here is my review of this year's race.

The Prix Stanley has become a "stallion" race in recent years. This year's winner is a gelding, so that trend won't be added to, but he's a very good 3-year-old hurdler all the same.

Mambonumberfive, St Donat's, Gaelic Warrior and Sans Bruit have all run in the Prix Rocking Chair in the last 5 seasons. Did we see a horse of that ability in this year's renewal? Well quite possibly.

After such an impressive debut, his connections must be thinking about the Graded races in the autumn, if British and Irish suitors don't tempt them to sell.

This was a comprehensive victory and is on a par with the level of form achieved by the recent winners of this race.

The Prix Wild Monarch races at Auteuil continue to be some of the most important 3-year-old hurdle races in the French calendar.

Both of them showed plenty of promise in difficult conditions and are worth adding to the tracker.

He needs to be supplemented for the race, but there is certainly a case to be made that he will deliver a return on that investment.

As the weather and more importantly the ground begin to turn, we are likely to see some of the better French recruits on the track.

As the winter nights get longer, the season at Auteuil is coming to a close, so it's time for a little reflection.

Whilst the shine may have been taken off Il Est Francais this weekend, French Racing would appear to have a ready made replacement in Kaadam

She at least matched the Colts and Geldings and if she were to repeat that effort next month, she is going to be very hard to beat.

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.
