Grand Prix bid for Robin Of Navan


Robin Of Navan could get another shot at Group One glory in next Sunday's Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud.

Harry Dunlop's stable star struck at the highest level in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud as a juvenile a couple of years ago and has run several fine races in defeat since.

He secured his first victory since that top-level triumph in the Group Three La Coupe at Chantilly earlier this month and Dunlop is eager to return to France next weekend.

He said: "He's come out of his last race well. It was great to see him break the track record at Chantilly.

"We will go and have a look at the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Obviously it's quite a step up in class and he'll be stepping up to a mile and a half, but Cristian Demuro felt that he would get that.

"Hopefully it will be slightly weaker than some Group Ones. Some of the big guns ran at Ascot, so it might be a bit easier, but there are still some smart French horses in the race.

"He's amazing and he's one of those horses that changed my life. I'm very lucky to have him."
