Ralph Beckett has paid €4,500 (€6,700) to supplement his German 2000 Guineas second Johnny Jumpup for the Group Three Prix de la Jonchere at Chantilly on Sunday.

Robert Collet, who saddles Whipper in tomorrow’s Breeders’ Cup Mile, received a timely boost when his Centifolia and Salut Thomas gave him a one-two in the Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte today.
