From a successful family
Aiken is out of the Group 1 placed Sadler’s Wells mare Las Flores, making him a brother to Group 3 winner Felicity and a half-brother to successful sire Sleeping Indian and Stakes performers Jalisco and Nationalism.
Selkirk has made an impact in the jumps sphere by supplying Champion Hurdle hero Sublimity and useful hurdlers Blythe Knight, Pasco and Scorned.
‘Good head and outlook. Good length of rein. Solid middle and good depth of girth and heart room. Nice width of hip. Correct forelegs. Good hind leg and width between hocks. Anyone who comes to see him will not be disappointed.’
John Gosden, trainer.
