King Of Cities supplemented for French Classic mission
Owner Sheikh Mohammed Obaid has paid the €72,000 supplementary fee to enable the half-brother to Commonwealth Cup winner Inisherin to take his chance in the 10-furlong Classic. Speaking at Windsor on Monday, Hannon told Sky Sports Racing: 'I always thought he was an extremely good horse. He's by the best stallion in the world (Dubawi) and he has an extremely good pedigree. 'I was always slightly disappointed with him last year until he went to the Feilden Stakes first time out this year and the handicapper put him up 18lb, so he's now (rated) 111. 'He loved the ground that day and I was told that the sectionals he showed that day would have been good enough to win any Guineas. 'He doesn't have anything to prove to me, it's a big step up to go to the French Derby but he's capable of anything.' Andre Fabre has also supplemented the once-raced Sinileo, for the same connections who supplemented subsequent winner Sosie for the Prix d'Ispahan. There are now 18 possibles with John and Thady Gosden leaving in Detain and Bowmark, Charlie Fellowes has Luther while Aidan O'Brien has Camille Pissarro and Trinity College.

Soumillon steps in for Detain ride at Chantilly
'The plan is to run both at the moment and both came out of their last races well,' said Thady Gosden. Detain will be ridden by Christophe Soumillon (Adam Davy/PA) 'Detain ran in the Poulains, he travelled back great from that, and Bowmark from York. 'Detain has been in good order, that was his first foreign trip but he took the experience very well. That was into Longchamp and this will be into Chantilly. 'He ran a nice race there, he was doing all his best work late on and shaped as if the step up to 10 furlongs would suit.' Regarding the booking of Soumillon, Gosden added: 'Christophe Soumillon is who he is. He's a world-class jockey and he was available for the ride, so after discussions he kindly agreed to ride him. Bowmark impressed at York (Mike Egerton/PA) 'Tom Marquand will ride Bowmark with William Buick riding for Godolphin. 'I wouldn't know which one I'd want to ride, I'd probably wait for the draw before I answered! 'It's Bowmark's first time travelling abroad so he'll need to travel well whereas Detain has the experience of that, but hopefully they both continue to improve as the season goes on. Hopefully they are both impressive three-year-olds. 'It looks like being a big field and Chantilly has its quirks. The bigger the field, the more trouble we are likely to run into. Circumstantially a lot will have to go right and the draw is a major factor in that. Time will tell.' Richard Hannon's King Of Cities was supplemented for the Classic at a cost of €72,000 on Wednesday. ✅ Almeric fends off King Of Cities in the £55,000 Listed @bet365 Feilden Stakes at HQ — Racing TV (@RacingTV) April 15, 2025 Speaking at Windsor on Monday, Hannon told Sky Sports Racing: 'I always thought he was an extremely good horse.
