New Ground full throttle towards Grand Prix de Paris test
The three-year-old now has the opportunity to prove that performance was no fluke, with an appearance at ParisLongchamp on July 13 on the agenda.

We'll look at both, but it feels like the Grand Prix de Paris is probably the plan for him. 'He's a good horse, I think Henri always felt he was very talented and we knew a step up to a mile and a half was going to suit.

'I think we're heading towards the Grand Prix de Paris and hopefully he'll run a good race there.'
