Fabre has high hopes for Fintry

Andre Fabre expects Fintry to put up a good show despite an enforced 90-day lay-off when she returns in the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association Atalanta Stakes at Sandown today.

The master French trainer has stressed the Godolphin filly will need the run after being ill during the summer but believes she will do herself justice on her comeback run, with the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket in the autumn her main objective,

He is also hoping the ground dries out for the daughter of Shamardal, who is burdened with a 7lb penalty for winning the Group Two Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly on June 1.
