Terrific Aintree Festival for our clients with 6 Graded winners sourced- IMPAIRE ET PASSE & GREEN SPLENDOUR bookending it for the Double Green And 3 winners for @PFNicholls CALDWELL POTTER, SANS BRUIT & KALIF DU BERLAIS Plus @jamiesnowden 1st Gr1 winner JULIUS DES PICTONS

Really pleased for Messrs Hales, Ferguson, Mason and Done whose KALIF DU BERLAIS maintained his unbeaten record giving weight away to all his rivals. The 13th winner of the Adonis Hurdle bought by Highflyer (since 2004) incl some famous names like Zarkandar, Binocular & Punjabi

BLUE LORD Another Grade 1 winner bought through the late great French agent David Powell. Well done to @WillieMullinsNH and @PTownend That one’s for you David, Thankyou.

Well done to Team Ditcheat with CAP DU MATHAN. The last horse I bought for longstanding client Andy Stewart. Shame he is unable to have seen his patience rewarded. He would be dreaming up some huge plans tonight from Barbados if he were 💪🏻🥲

Good to see the @TessaGreatrex buy EVERYONESGAME win on Rules debut for owner Malcolm Olden and @CharlieLongsdon Bought @tattscheltenham after finishing 2nd in his sole pt-pt for Andrew Latta

Excellent LISTED victory for COLBERT DU BERLAIS today for trainer Marcel Rolland and owners @simon_munir and @isouede who also owned the 3rd GUEPARD DU BERLAIS too.
