French jumps breeders will have an intriguing new sire at their disposal in 2017 in the shape of dual Group 2 winner Free Port Lux.

The five-year-old son of Oasis Dream is the second recent acquisition for Haras de Cercy after Karaktar, a Group 3-winning son of High Chaparral bought at the Arqana Summer Sale for €110,000.

Bred by Ecurie des Monceaux out of Grade 1 Beverly D Stakes winner Royal Highness, Free Port Lux was bought by his trainer Freddy Head for €220,000 at the Arqana August Yearling Sale in 2012.
