John Locke won the 2m3 Handicap hurdle under a great ride from Corentin Smeulders. He has thrived on his racing since being based in France under our temporary license and a charge in tactics saw him get the victory he deserved. Garo de Juilley ran I the same race with Roisin riding, but a bad mistake at a crucial time in the race saw the end of his challenge.
Demoiselle Kap had an unfortunate unseat when challenging in a handicap hurldle. She has come out of it ok and may head to Auteuil later in the month.
A new acquisition Lenalov made a pleasing start in a 4 year old handicap hurdle coming a close 4th. She goes again in a fillies only race on 19th and if she can build on that performance should go close.
