Lambourn trainer Harry Dunlop has enjoyed many successful forays across the English Channel, most recently when Knight To Behold (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) bounced back to form to claim a major win in the G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano Haras du Logis Saint-Germain at Deauville last month. Dunlop is planning some more pot hunting with Neil Jones's home-bred with the G2 Prix Dollar at ParisLongchamp on Arc weekend the next port of call. “He's come out of Deauville really well. We're very happy with him and the plan is to hopefully run him in the Prix Dollar. That's the mile-and-a-quarter Group Two,” the trainer said. The sky seemed the limit for Knight To Behold when he beat Kew Gardens (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) the Listed Betfred Derby Trial S. at Lingfield in May but the wheels came off the wagon slightly on his next two starts in the Derbys at Epsom and The Curragh, defeats which Dunlop attributes to a lack of stamina. “He won the Derby Trial at Lingfield so well beating Kew Gardens, whose form since has been very good. Basically he didn't stay the mile and a half. We changed a few things around with him, put cheek pieces on him and things, and it's got him right back to form,” he added.
