The Lion In Winter heading back to France for Prix Jacques Le Marois
The Lion In Winter will return to France for his next outing when he will step back up in trip for the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville. Winter favourite for the Guineas and Derby, a setback in the spring held up his preparations for the Classics and he missed Newmarket, making his comeback in the Dante at York when he could only finish sixth before trailing home well beaten in the Derby. Dropped markedly in trip to seven furlongs for the Prix Jean Prat, Aidan O'Brien's charge showed plenty of his old sparkle, beaten just a short neck and a short head into third by Woodshauna. Speaking at Navan on Sunday, stable representative Chris Armstrong said: 'It was lovely to get him back on track after all the promise he showed last year. 'He has come out of the race (at Deauville) very well, and everyone is happy with him at home. 'He is going to go to the Jacques Le Marois next in Deauville. Obviously, it is going to be a fascinating race during the summer. 'In fairness, the horse adapted coming right back from a mile and a half to seven (furlongs) last week pretty quickly. 'Back up to a mile in the Jacques Le Marois should suit him.'
