Jumbo Rio set for French raid

JUMBO RIO is set to bid for a second Grade One prize in the Prix Renaud Du Vivier at Auteuil on November 15.

Edward O’Grady’s youngster took the Champion Four-Year-Old Hurdle at the Punchestown Festival in May and has also won his last two starts.

He was twice beaten into second when visiting France during the summer, but O’Grady is hoping his charge can go one better next time.
