Hannon confident in Paco Boy

Richard Hannon is relieved that Goldikova and Makfi are absent from the field for tomorrow's Prix du Moulin at Longchamp.
Paco Boy finished third behind the two highly rated French-trained performers in the Prix Jacques le Marois on his last start.
While no Group One is ever easy, Hannon admits it is a bonus the five-year-old will not have to face the pair who finished in front of him last time out.
"It obviously helps that Goldikova is not there and it was a bonus that Makfi came out too, but in any event this was the best race for our boy," said Hannon.
"He never lets us down and breezed well earlier in the week and he is a better horse than when he finished third in the race two years ago," he told his website, www.richardhannonracing.tv.
