François-Marie Cottin's CARIBEAN BOY is set to cross the Channel and head to Nicky Henderson's yard after selling to Highflyer Bloodstock for €180,000. The son of Myboycharlie from the family of top-class stayers CANDARLIYA and CANESSAR ran 2nd in the L. Prix de Marsan last time out, only finding LOU BUCK'S too good. The latter ran a good 4th in the Gr.1 Prix Alain du Breil earlier this afternoon.

He looks a lovely, big chasing horse who will be aimed at the novice races over fences. He's been bought for a client of Nicky Henderson's. His form was franked this afternoon with Lou Buck's running very well in the Group 1 and I hope he continues to improve.
