French plan for Boomerang

BOOMERANG BOB is to seek Pattern-race glory in France following his fine effort at Royal Ascot.

Trainer John Hills is aiming the youngster at the Group Three Prix du Bois at Chantilly on Sunday week after he found Bapak Chinta just a length too good in the Norfolk Stakes.

“I thought he was going towin,” said Hills. “He’s very well, he came back bouncing and if everything goes to plan, we are going to go to Chantilly a week on Sunday.

“That’s the plan and after that we’ll see. There are lots of races coming up. He’s got an entry in the Nunthorpe because he’s quick and with sprinters some years it’s a vintage year and sometimes it’s not.”
