Raven's Pass headed for Prix Jean Prat

Last updated: 7/9/08 7:41 PM

Stonerside Stable's Group 3 winner RAVEN'S PASS (Elusive Quality) will tackle Sunday's Prix Jean Prat

(Fr-G1) at Chantilly, trainer John Gosden confirmed

Wednesday. Runner-up in the St James's Palace S. (Eng-G1) at Royal Ascot,

the homebred will face a maximum of 23 rivals in the mile contest after the

latest forfeit stage promised a large field.

"Raven's Pass worked nicely this

morning and we are planning to run him, and Jimmy Fortune will ride," Gosden

told Racing Post. "We are perfectly happy with the ground at the moment, but

wouldn't want it to come up soft."

Among the opponents could be the Poule

d'Essai des Pouliches (Fr-G1) first and second FALCO (Pivotal) and RIO DE LA

PLATA (Rahy), respectively, while the Comic Strip Heroes's Norfolk S. (Eng-G2) and July S.

(Eng-G2) winner

WINKER WATSON (Piccolo) is set to make his seasonal debut for Peter

Chapple-Hyam.

Other notables among the home team include the Niarchos Family's

Prix Paul de Moussac (Fr-G3) hero ARCADIA'S ANGLE (Aldebaran), Sheikh Hamdan bin

Rashid Al Maktoum's Prix de Fontainebleau (Fr-G3) winner TAMAYUZ (Nayef) and

Baron Edouard de Rothschild's Prix Daphnis (Fr-G3) winner INDIAN DAFFODIL (Hernando

[Fr]).
