The 4-year-old AQPS BURGAS was knocked down to Harold Kirk, bidding on behalf of Susanna Richi. The team was returning to the well from which they bought DOUVAN, still unbeaten in 4 starts for Willie Mullins including the Gr.1 Supreme Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham and Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown.
We've been lucky buying from Philippe Peltier so we were very keen on this horse. He is a big backward four-year-old who looks like he could make a nice three-mile chaser. We'll send him to the field for six weeks then start him off over hurdles but his future is over fences.
