Bated Breath’s Cairn Gorm Takes the Cabourg

[Wandering Eyes]

Unbeaten entering Sunday’s G3 Darley Prix de Cabourg, Cairn Gorm (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) kept his tally secure with a battling effort in the Normandy sunshine under Tom Marquand. Helped by the fact that his compatriot and the 6-4 market-leader Mighty Gurkha (Ire) (Sepoy {Aus}) was left at the start, the 5-2 second favourite who was carrying the Hunscote Stud colours tracked the pace and after hitting the front passing the furlong pole asserted to score by a length from Jubilation (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), with a head back to Prince Lancelot (GB) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}) in third.
