O’Brien team finishes eighth in Prix du Jockey Club with Continuous but sixth success for winning French trainer
The top French trainer added: “I thought he had the potential to do it. Secretly I was very optimistic. We don’t know the limits of the horse. He only had the three quiet races.”
Rouget didn’t have firm plans for his new three-year-old star but Ace Impact is entered in the Eclipse at Sandown, a race the trainer won last year with Vadeni.Elsewhere, the bumper bank holiday weekend action continues with two more Irish fixtures on Monday. Listowel winds up three days of action with a jumps card where the prolific Easy Game tries to repeat his success of 2022 in a conditions chase.
He won’t be a 1-6 favourite this time, however, having to concede weight to some decent opposition. They include giving 17lbs to Hurricane Georgie who with Ben Harvey’s valuable 5lb claim on top might emerge the winner.Dermot Weld introduces a regally bred newcomer in Knight To King, a half-brother to the top-class Ghaiyyath. Newton Anner’s other runner, Mr King, is a gelded half-brother to Thunder Kiss who was twice placed at Group One level.
Later on the card, Sir Antonio, who is owned by Spanish international footballer, Alvaro Odriozola, should relish quick ground conditions in a handicap.
