Blanco hoping to be all white on the night

AIDAN O’BRIEN’S Dante Stakes winner Cape Blanco features among a final field of 23 runners in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly on Sunday.

The Galileo colt took his unbeaten record to four with an impressive success in the recognised Derby trial on the Knavesmire, but connections decided to bypass Epsom in favour of this French equivalent.

He seems well placed in stall seven while his Ballydoyle handler has an interesting second string to his bow in Viscount Nelson (stall six), a fine third in last month’s Irish 2000 Guineas.
