Last year's G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud victor Robin Of Navan (Fr) (American Post {GB}) is on course for the G1 Prix du Jockey Club June 5 despite being overturned in his seasonal debut when second in the G2 Prix Greffulhe May 8.
“The French Derby is still very much on my mind for Robin Of Navan,” confirmed trainer Harry Dunlop. “It is a massive test, but he is a course winner so we know he likes the track.”
“He had a few coughs back in February and that held him back a bit,” Dunlop revealed. “He went there to win his race last time out, but he just got a bit tired in the last furlong and Cloth Of Stars just quickened up better than he did.”
Godolphin's Greffulhe winner Cloth Of Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) is set to be supplemented for the G1 Investec Derby the previous day by trainer Andre Fabre.
