 Just over two weeks after winning the Champion Hurdle, Alderbrook was back in action on the flat.Due to his requirement for soft ground and potential easier opposition, he was sent overseas for his three flat races in 1995.He started off with a 7th-place finish in the Group 2 Prix d'Harcourt at Longchamp but then improved on this considerably with arguably his best flat performance in finishing second in the Group 1 Prix Ganay, again at Longchamp.
