Those who closely follow French racing will know Guest Apens, formerly with Andre Fabre and the winner of two of his 12 starts with one each at Saint-Cloud and Chantilly as well as a long list of decent placed efforts.
Moved on by Godolphin for 28,000gns in January 2025, he finally made his debut over hurdles after 19 months off and ran a blinder to finish third over hurdles at Musselburgh, running on late to be beaten six length at the line.
I would be surprised if he doesn’t find plenty of improvement for both the race and the experience, and if that is the case he is entitled to go mighty close in the 3.20pm at Carlisle this afternoon.
