MARTALINE, a regally-related and high-class full-brother to Group 1 winner Reefscape, added to his tally of notable progeny when Agrapart sprang a 16/1 surprise in the Grade 3 Betfair Hurdle over the extended two miles at Newbury on Saturday.

With talented flat horses such as Calling Out and Akarlina backing up a National Hunt roll of honour that features Grade 1 stars Dynaste, Very Wood and Kotkikova, the son of Linamix (by Mendez) is a leading dual-purpose stallion and he is now in his 12fth season at Haras de la Reboursiere et de Montaigu.
