Lartigue Hurdle hope Razoul supplemented for August Sale

Razoul, a rare jumps runner for Breeders' Cup-winning owner Ballygallon Stud, has been supplemented for the Goffs UK August Sale next Wednesday.

The four-year-old son of Mastercraftsman hit the crossbar three times in four previous attempts over hurdles before opening his account at Kilbeggan in July, when he strolled to a ten-length success.

"He's a good horse," said trainer Ray Cody after the win. "He has just been so unlucky. He might get a little break now, I think he could be good enough to run in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel off a low weight. He'll go on soft ground too."

The Lartigue Hurdle was won last year by the Elusive Quality gelding Kuiper Belt off a mark of 112, with the Galileo gelding Gold Seal in second off the same mark.

Razoul appeals as a suitable candidate for this year's race with a rating of 113.
