OWNER David Maxwell, originally from Northern Ireland, had a quick return on his recent Arqana purchase at Auteuil when the amateur rider partnered his €180,000 purchase Cat Tiger to victory in the Grade 3 Prix Morgex Chase over two miles and six furlongs and worth €65,250 to the winner. Trained by Dominique Bressou, he will now move to the Paul Nicholls yard.

Bressou completed a treble on the day and was also successful in the Grade 3 Prix Andre Michel Hurdle for fillies and mares. Raffles Sun (Poligote) in the familiar Simon Munir and Isaac Souede colours made it her fourth win in her last five outings, beating the favourite, Jubilatoire.
