He was keen, he pulled too hard, he was drawn wide and raced without cover, he hung to his right in the final furlong, yet still won.

He is a Teofilo half-brother to Birr Castle and should easily win a maiden next time on this evidence

I can't wait to see what he will do with the benefit of more time in the Henderson yard

She traveled better than the winner and shaped like a maiden winner in waiting next time.

She looks to be one of the more exciting AQPS debutantes that we have seen so far in 2025.

"There are lots of reasons to be positive about this form in the weeks to come".

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.

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 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

In time, he is going to be a very well handicapped horse when he returns to the larger obstacles.

An alternative is to look at the middle-distance races on the Flat in France and today's French Recruit, Le Bugiste, comes from that sphere.

We can say that he won his only start in France under a hands ride and both the 2nd and 3rd have won since to boost the form.

I think he would probably have won that race and he is certainly not without a chance in the Wensleydale at Wetherby on Friday.

She could not have been more impressive and the fact that she was faster than the Colts and Geldings race bodes well.

This has been a record year for the list, both in terms of numbers of horses recruited and downloads.....

This horse possesses an extreme turn-of-foot and it will be fascinating to see how this form plays out in the coming weeks.

He has been left untouched by the handicapper and from a similar mark, it is hard to ignore his claims next time.

The winner did very well to win from a poor racing position and it should be a race where the first few home are worth following.
