SUNDAY’s other Chantilly feature, the €90,000 Group 2 Darley Prix Robert Papin, cut up disappointingly and was
contested by a field of just four runners.

It may have been run over a new distance (six furlongs rather than five and a half) and at a third different venue in three years, but the result was just the same, Ventura Tormenta outbattling his fellow countryman, The Lir Jet, to land a seventh consecutive British triumph.
