For so long dominant in many of France's key pattern races, Andre Fabre holds the record of eight successes in the G3 Prix Daphnis at Maisons-Laffitte and looks to Prince Faisal's Last Kingdom (Frankel {GB}) to extend that tally on Wednesday. Last seen beating the re-opposing Normandy Spirit (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}) by a length in a mile conditions event here May 29, the bay has a fair standard to aim at in the Wertheimers's Spotify (Fr) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}). Third in the G3 Prix de Fontainebleau at Chantilly Apr. 16 and fourth in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains at Deauville May 14, it could be that he only needs to repeat that form to win this but there are no easy races of this nature in this country and Jean-Claude Rouget puts up a potential improver in the Mar. 31 Bordeaux-le-Bouscat conditions scorer Neguev (Ire) (So You Think {NZ}).
