Quddwah puts Queen Anne case with smooth return in Paris
However, he also possessed some smart form and having won his first four races, he only lost his unbeaten record when a fine fourth to Charyn in the Prix Jacques le Marois. Fifth behind that same rival on Champions Day at Ascot, he was allowed to dictate his own pace under Callum Shepherd, stacking his rivals up early in the straight before kicking on for a one-and-three-quarter-length win. Simon Crisford said: 'We were delighted with him today, he wasn't quite ready to start back in the Lockinge so we opted to go to Paris with him and he acquitted himself with great credit. 'We'll consider the Queen Anne for his next race, he goes well at Ascot and we were delighted with his comeback run. 'He ran well in the Jacques le Marois last year, he's got form on the round course and the straight course at Ascot, but that straight course does suit him well and today puts him in contention for a win in the Queen Anne.' Coral cut the winner to 16-1 from 20s for the Queen Anne and Ed Crisford added: 'It was a deep Listed race, but a perfect starting point for him and he did it nicely. 'I think he'll come on for the race and hopefully go on to better things now. 'We'll see how he is, talk to his owner Sheikh Ahmed, but potentially he should fit into the Queen Anne nicely. 'When you see how well he ran in the Jacques le Marois, and he didn't run badly on Champions Day he was just a bit far out of his ground, he doesn't have much to find. 'He's another year older and you'd hope there's still a bit more to come as he's lightly raced.'

Teal relishing Royal Ascot rematch for Dancing Gemini
The four-year-old was the 2-1 favourite after a superb campaign so far this season, with his reappearance a straightforward success in the Listed Doncaster Mile and his next run a Group Two victory in the bet365 Mile at Sandown. Rosallion, triumphant in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes last year, was considered his main rival, but it was Lead Artist – who was last of eight behind Teal's runner at Sandown – who came to the fore to prevail by a neck. Dancing Gemini still ran a fine race in second as Rosallion came home two and a quarter lengths back in third, and it looks probable the trio will meet again for another clash in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot. 'He's taken it very well, there's not a bother on him. He's eaten up and is fresh and well,' Teal said of his colt. 'He lost nothing in defeat, really, just prize money! It was a fantastic run. 'I can't help but feel a little bit gutted to get beaten by so small a margin, but hopefully he'll have his day soon enough. 'It'll be straight to Ascot for us, straight to the rematch in the Queen Anne.' Dancing Gemini's fortunes have mirrored those of last year's crack miler Charyn thus far, with the grey winning both events at Doncaster and Sandown before narrowly missing out at Newbury. Charyn then turned the tables and emerged victorious at the Royal meeting, something Teal is hoping can happen to his son of Camelot next month. 'The pattern has stayed the same so far, I had hoped he wouldn't copy Charyn so literally!' he said. 'It bodes well and we hope we can go and get our revenge. He's very, very smart and I'm sure he's going to have his day.'
