Lyon, France 11th June

We are trying something new by sending Burning Victory on the long boat (Dublin to Cherbourg) for the Prix De Croix-Luizet Handicap over 2m 1f. She will have top-weight and will be ridden by Franck Blondel who finished second on Sealiway in the French Derby last Sunday. She has a much more favourable handicap mark in France than in Ireland so we felt it was worth having a go here. She has been in good form at home and hopefully she will run a big race.
