Bought for €260,000 at Septembers Goffs sale Burgandy Boy will need to start repaying the faith placed in him very soon though today may not be the day as FUTURE PROOF looks to build on his fine win on racecourse debut at Leopardstown last month. The sixth in that race, A Smooth Criminal has since won a Clonmel maiden over 1m2f. 100,00gns yearling Escamillo can give the selection the most to think about here.
