Soumillon strikes on Lone Ranger

Christophe Soumillon took the spoils aboard Lone Ranger as British raiders failed to land a blow in the Prix du Carrousel at Deauville yesterday.

John Gosden and Mark Johnston had already enjoyed varying degrees of success on the card in France prior to the Listed contest over a trip just shy of one mile seven.

However, neither Thimaar nor Gulf Of Naples were able to play a leading role in a race which went to Lone Ranger, trained by Alain de Royer-Dupre.
