COMPADRE, by champion stayer Yeats, is the first foal of a Listed hurdles winner in France. Carrying the Magnier colours, he can make a winning debut at the main expense of winning pointers Epic Warrior and Mont Choisy. The latter is only a five-year-old so makes most appeal of that pair today. Rollo's Reflection was second on his debut between the flags in March but may need more time.
