Doctor Dino's profile over jumps has been on a steep upward curve and benefited from a timely double last weekend with his son SHARJAH claiming Faugheen's scalp in the Gr.1 Morigiana Hurdle at Punchestown while SCEAU ROYAL landed the Gr.2 Schloer Chase at Cheltenham.

That update surely did no harm to his full brother, named GUILLAUME, who was consigned by Haras de la Haie Neuve on behalf of his breeder Guy Vimont and went the way of Paul Basquin for €125,000.

I like the sire very much, commented the Haras du Saubouas principal. He produces good horses for the flat as well as for the jumps and this horse is a beautiful type who will continue to mature - he was born on May 1. He will spend the winter on the farm and could go into training with Guillaume Macaire.
