A Wild Card entry from the yard of Francois-Marie Cottin after running 4th in the Gr.3 Prix Aguado at Auteuil last month, HELL BOY went the way of Tom Malone for €150,000 . A three-year-old son of Martaline, he has hit the board in four of his five starts this season, also including a 3rd in the L. Prix Stanley hurdle. He is from the family of the talented hurdlers ST DEVOTE and L'UNIQUE as well as of Gr.1 winners on the flat CORRE CAMINOS and RECITAL.
He is a lovely horse who looks a nice Fred Winter type, commented the agent. He will go to Paul Nicholls and his future is over fences.
