Migration Makes The Brittania For Menuisier

Wednesday, 19 June 2019: Sussex-based but French-born trainer David Menuisier is hoping that his outstanding streak of form holds just a little bit longer.

His Migration   has sneaked into the highly competitive Britannia Handicap over a mile tomorrow at Royal Ascot after being first reserve.

Menusier, who shares the historic Coombelands yard with Amanda Perrett in Pulborough, has enjoyed seven winners and two seconds from his past 12 runners. The hot streak started two weeks ago when Battle Of Issus won for the stable at Hamilton.

Last season Thundering Blue proved his trainer's talent when winning a York Group Two and finishing third in the G1 Juddmonte International at the same track before taking second place in the G1 Canadian International at Woodbine.

Three-year-old Migration won a handicap over a mile at Newmarket on his most recent start on May 16, and has a decent chance in the Britannia.

Menuisier worked as assistant trainer to the likes of Criquette Head-Maarek in France, Richard Mandella in California and John Dunlop in the UK before taking out his own licence in 2014.

"It has been an unforgettable fortnight," said Menuisier. "Thanks to all our owners, staff and lovely horses for making this happen."

A first Royal Ascot winner for the 40-year-old would take his burgeoning career to the next level.
