Given a confident and patient ride by Alice Stevens, Madame La Papillon made an impressive debut at Huntingdon, winning with ears pricked and plenty in hand. An exciting prospect.
Racing Post Ratings assessment: this was a promising debut from the cosy winner with the second, fifth and seventh setting the level. MADAME LA PAPILLON, out of a winning stayer on the Flat, was unfancied but looked a talented mare as she eased into the race and comfortably got the better of the long-time leader. Well on top at the finish, she should go well under a penalty, particularly against her own sex.
