Gustav Klimt could manage only third as Intellogent landed the Qatar Prix Jean Prat at Deauville on Sunday.
Ryan Moore made it back from his trip to Belmont Park to ride the son of Galileo and though he stayed on for third in the closing stages he never looked like reeling in the front two.
Godolphin’s Cascadian, trained by Andre Fabre, looked to take up the running on the nearside rail inside the closing stages, but the New Approach colt was narrowly edged out of a win by Intellogent, an Intello colt that won by a short neck in the middle of the track.
It was a second Group One win for trainer Fabrice Chappet, who won the French 1000 Guineas last year with 33/1 outsider Precieuse.
Intellogent wasn’t sent off at quite such big odds (101/10) and he franked the Prix du Jockey Club form of Study Of Man in the process, as he was beaten a length in fourth in the French Derby.
