2021/22 Jumps Profile - Saint Palais

4 y bg Saint Des Saints – Ladies Choice  (Bob)

Very interesting pick from a new trainer to the competition, he made his debut at Compiegene last March, finishing 8th in a 2m 3 year old conditions hurdle, beaten 62 l behind Quilixios. In October last year he finished 2nd in a 2m 3f 3 year old chase at Maure De Bretagne, then in January this year joined Richard Bandey. He made his UK debut at Hereford in February this year , finishing 3rd in a 2m 3 year old maiden hurdle, beaten 7 ¾ l behind Herbiers, then in March at Newbury in a 2m 4 year old juvenile hurdle, was 2nd beaten 2l by Siroco Jo (gave 5lb). In April he was 2nd at Ffos Las in a 2m 4f 4 year old handicap hurdle, beaten ½ l by Winged Isle (gave 5lb), and then reappeared at Worcester recently, winning a 2m 7f novice handicap chase by 3 ¾ l from Velasco (gave 4lb. ) He looks capable of winning more novice chases, and could be a fun horse this season.

Trainer Richard rode as an amateur jockey for ten seasons, then deciding to hang up his boots and concentrate on the training of the racehorses. He was a successful point-to-point trainer for many years, with notable successes including a 4-timer at Larkhill racecourse and consecutive winners of the Redmills Intermediate Final at Cheltenham’s hunterchase evening in 2
