Qatar Racing colourbearer Imperial Aviator (GB) (Paco Boy {Ire}), who bested G1 Investec Derby fancy Ulysees (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in a Leicester maiden Apr. 23, will be supplemented to the G1 Prix du Jockey Club Thursday, trainer Roger Charlton has revealed on Twitter. Imperial Aviator followed up that maiden score with a win in a 10-furlong Newbury handicap May 14.
The second forfeit stage for Sunday's Prix du Jockey Club was Wednesday, with 16 remaining eligible. Aidan O'Brien has left in just two of a possible 10 runners, Black Sea (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Bravery (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Foundation (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) and Robin Of Navan (Fr) (American Post {GB}) are two of the four British contenders, while beaten G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains favourite Zarak (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}) and eye-catching G2 Prix de Hocquart winner Mekhtaal (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) head the formidable home team.
