The Mikel Delzangles-trained six-year-old finished third behind Al Kazeem in the Jockey Club Stakes on his first start since winning the Hong Kong Vase and is set to stay over 12 furlongs for the first half of the summer before possibly stepping back up in trip again later on.

"He's come back very well but he needed the run. I think he'll improve a great deal for it," said Delzangles.

"He might run in the Grand Prix de Chantilly - he might, it's not definite.

"We'll stay at a mile and a half until July and then we'll see."

Ascot Gold Cup winner Fame And Glory will not go top Yoprk this week, instead staying in Ireland to make his seasonal reappearance in the Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan on Sunday.

Aidan O'Brien's crack stayer, who also won on Champions Day at Ascot, is one of 13 entries in this weekend's Listed race and could be joined by stablemate Grand Admiral.

Dermot Weld has entered a pair of classy mares in Unaccompanied and Sense Of Purpose, as well as Notable Graduate. All three Weld entries are owned by Moyglare Stud.
