6g Great Journey - Mascara

244F/72-
RPR 147h OR 141h
Hasn’t run over hurdles since finishing second in the 2015 Galway Hurdle. Concentrated on the Flat after that and won the Group 2 Lonsdale Cup at York last year before running a blinder when second, beaten only half a length, in the Melbourne Cup. Never at his best this summer, we cut short his Flat campaign after the Ascot Gold Cup. Back in training and will be aimed at some of the big festival meetings. Should be competitive off his mark.


5g Walk In The Park - Phemyka
Susannah Ricci
43/112-
RPR 157h OR 154h
A talking horse early last season before he ever ran for us and started off well, winning his maiden and then a Grade 2 novice at Punchestown before finding Altior too good on the day in the Supreme Novices’. The plan is to send him over fences and we’re looking forward to getting him started. . Will probably start off over 2m and we’ll take things from there.

Won a bumper and a maiden hurdle and will stay hurdling this season. I’d imagine she will need plenty of distance.
