Fair form on Flat in France in 2019, winning maiden from Cape Gentleman (152 chaser/144 hurdler for Emmet Mullins now). Left Fabrice Chappet €110,000 later that year and not seen since. Given time by top connections and no surprise if she repays them handsomely.

IDOLES DES JEUNES hasn't been seen for the best part of 3 years, but she beat the classy jumper Cape Gentleman on the level in France and starts out over hurdles in a very winnable race for top connections. Miss Fourie can take a hand on her hurdles debut, while Sheishybrid can build on her first go in this sphere here last month.
