JEAN-Claude Rouget kept up the momentum on Wednesday at Chantilly where he trained the first two past the post in the Group 3 Prix Daphnis, just three days after he saddled La Cressonniere to win the Prix de Diane Longines.

The less fancied Taareef and Ioritz Mendizabal collared the more favoured stablemate George Patton close to home. He was ridden by Christophe Soumillon, who did not have to wait long for his Group 3 winner as he later partnered the Ralph Beckett-trained Air Pilot to victory in La Coupe.
