The promising colt made a winning comeback in the Gr.3 Prix de Guiche at Chantilly on Tuesday. Positioned behind the leader, he accelerated freely when entering the straight to prevail under hands and heels.

A very consistent runner at two, he won on debut in June and earned four consecutive victories, winning notably the Gr.3 Prix de Condé by 5 lengths before finishing a promising third in the Gr.1 Critérium de Saint-Cloud.

Makaloun was winning his fifth race in six outings in the Guiche, a trial race for the Gr.1 Prix du Jockey Club which will be run on 6 June. A son of Bated Breath, he is out of the Dalakhani mare Makana who is a sister to Stakes winner Markazi.
