A GLORIOUS day weather wise set the scene for a card full of bright prospects. This potential was clear for all to see after Keops Des Bordes (3/1 - 11/2) followed in the footsteps of past talented Loughanmore four-year-old winners including this year’s Cheltenham Festival winners Ballyburn and Jasmin De Vaux.

Trained by Donnchadh Doyle, Keops Des Bordes cost £50,000 at the Goffs UK Store sale and although being pretty much friendless in the market beforehand, he really put any doubts to bed.
