Weekend racing: Sa Fureur can edge Impaire Et Passe at Gowran

It’s 14 months since Sa Fureur last tackled fences but he has acquitted himself well over hurdles this season.

The Gordon Elliott-trained Sa Fureur can make race fitness count to get the better of the returning Impaire Et Passe in the Grade Two Red Mills Chase, the feature race on Saturday’s Gowran Park card.

It’s 14 months since Sa Fureur last tackled fences – a handicap chase win – but he has acquitted himself well over hurdles this season, most recently when fourth at Navan last month.
