Reveillez made an impressive hurdling debut for trainer James Fanshawe and owner JP McManus at Windsor today.
The five-year-old is one of just eight jumpers in Fanshawe's powerful Newmarket stable and he is the only one her has for the Irish owner.
Reveillez (11-4) put in a powerful display to land a competitive-looking Jeff Banks Port of Call Introductory Novices' Hurdle by seven lengths from Finely Tuned.
Tracking the pace set by Gold Ring in the two-mile event, he made steady headway in fourth and moved through to challenge under Robert Thornton with three flights left.
When Gold Ring slipped and fell on landing two out, Thornton asked his mount to quicken past Finely Tuned and he galloped clear when his Mark Pitman-trained rival jumped to the right, and pecked on landing at the last.
"He will stay further," said trainer's wife Jacko Fanshawe. "That was very pleasing. I was a bit worried because he has never run on ground this soft, but he really enjoys hurdling."
"He left to join Mr McManus at his stud in the summer and when he came back, he had really strengthened. It has done him a world of good - but I guess it would do us all a world of good if we stayed there for a while because you'd be well looked after!"
"He was schooled over there and he took to it. We were going to run Pole Star in this race, but he wasn't quite right, so Reveillez was a bit of an afterthought."
