Imperial Aura

Winner of three of his four races under rules. Broke the track record at Carlisle when beating Sole Pretender by 3¼ lengths. (Sole Pretender won on the next three occasions before finishing 5th in the Galway Hurdle off a mark of 147). Followed up by winning a Novice Hurdle at Newcastle impressively. His season was cut short by recurring issues with sore shins, which were pin fired at the end of the season. He will definitely get three miles and will improve again for a step up in trip and a fence. Will return this season to start his novice chasing career and we are hoping he will be contesting some of the better races throughout the season.
