Fontainebleau Race 3 - De La Platriere D'apremont Maiden Stakes
HIGHARA (4) returned to action with a 6.75L fourth over 2000m at this circuit. Selected to register her first win with the extra distance in her favour. LIBYAN KNIGHT (2) lost out by 0.75L in placing second to a subsequent winner over 2700m at Chantilly AW. Expected to play a leading role. Unraced Night Of Thunder gelding ORAGEUX (10) is a half-brother to a number of winners including the G3 winners Arabian Crown and The Juliet Rose. Strong claims of debuting with a victory. NEVER RISK (9) has shown good form over hurdles including in winning over 3800m at Pau on his penultimate start. One to note on his flat debut.

Four-year-old gelding (Night Of Thunder - Dubai Rose) at the races for the first time. Purchased for EUR € 660,000 (Arqana 2023 August Yearling Sale). Worth considering if there is a move for him.
