With the domestic action from Epsom drawing to a close, attentions turned to France today for more Group 1 action, with the Prix Du Jockey Club providing a platform for Classic success. After Dawn Approach’s disappointing run in the Investec Derby trainer Jim Bolger was hoping to fare better with Loch Garman, runner-up to Investec Derby 4th Battle of Marengo on his previous start. Well drawn, he was sent off a 9/1 chance but after struggling to go the pace early on he was unable to feature, coming home in 10th.

Willie The Whipper fared best of the British raiders despite being an outsider in the betting with a solid run to finish 6th under Jamie Spencer. He currently has an entry in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot for which he is priced up at 50/1 with Coral. Frankie Dettori continued his comeback with a ride in the race but it was a similar story to his Epsom exploits as he trailed home in 15th on First Cornerstone.

 

The race went the way of the Andre Fabre trained Intello, who had been an unlucky loser in the French Guineas on his previous outing when hampered by a poor draw. There was no such hard luck story today and he came home an impressive winner, prompting quotes of 8/1 with William Hill for the Prix de l’Arc De Triomphe. Three year olds have a good record in the race winning 8 of the last 10 renewals so it is perhaps no surprise to see Intello and English Derby winner Ruler Of The World near the top of the market. Japanese superstar Orfevre is the current favourite for the race as he looks to go one better than last year, whilst Camelot’s conqueror Al Kazeem could take his chance in the race for the first time.
