Becasse
2021 bay gelding by Yeats (IRE) ex Tomyros (IRE) (Holy Roman Emperor (IRE))
SHARES SOLD OUT
A really impressive winner at Fontainebleau on his final outing in France, Becasse had previously finished fifth in the prestigious Prix Finot at Auteuil and was allotted an opening mark in the UK of 124, high enough to get straight into valuable handicap hurdles.
Looking further ahead, he has considerable scope to progress and is already schooled over a fence, so the plan will be to go straight chasing when he makes his debut for us in spring 2026.
Out of a half-sister to Listed-placed hurdler On My Command and from a family with plenty of back class on the flat, Yeats brings the requisite stamina to the page and with that, it is clear that Becasse is a very natural, fluent jumper. His previous trainer Noel George had the following to say in the press after the Fontainebleau success:
“He’s one that we hold in high regard, and for that reason with started him in the Prix Finot – that form was franked when the fourth (Lebandacarl) went close next time at Auteuil. Becasse hasn’t finished growing yet and he’ll strengthen up further”
