Moscow Ballet tipped for French run

Moscow Ballet, one of two withdrawals from the Vodafone Derby at the final declaration stage, could run instead in the Group One Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly on Sunday.

The Ballydoyle raider faces a maximum of seven rivals, headed by Bago, last year’s champion, and Mark Johnston’s Pearl Of Love, winner of the Group One Gran Criterium at San Siro last October.
