Septimus may be put away for autumn campaign

SEPTIMUS made a victorious comeback with a game display in the High Chaparral EBF Mooresbridge Stakes at the Curragh yesterday.

Out of action since returning sore from last year’s Vodafone Derby, the Aidan O’Brien-trained colt took this Group Three heat in good style under Seamus Heffernan.

The 2006 Dante Stakes winner was in second place early on as Championship Point, representing Mick Channon and Darryll Holland, made the early running.
