Doyle shines as Aspetar puts his best foot forward for Charlton and Al Kazeem

Aspetar shrugged off a moderate performance last time out at Longchamp and his trainer Roger Charlton's fears over the fast ground to land the Group 2 Grand Prix de Chantilly.

The win was a major feather in the cap for Aspetar's sire Al Kazeem, on whom Doyle enjoyed plenty of good days.

"PC [Pierre-Charles Boudot] rode him previously and he said he would be fine because last time he found it a bit sticky," said Doyle. "It's nice to sit on a nice one by Al Kazeem, I haven't ridden too many of them."

Aspetar's owner Sheikh Mohammed Bin Khalifa Al Thani celebrated a Group-race double on the day as Pelligrina belied her inexperience to land the Group 3 Prix de Royaumont, also the second success of the day for trainer Andre Fabre, following Inns Of Court's triumph in the Prix du Gros-Chene on his first try at five furlongs.

"He'll go for the Diamond Jubilee [over six furlongs]," said Fabre. "He's probably finding his way now over shorter distances and that makes him a nice, easy ride. Over a mile you had to have him covered up and he didn't enjoy it so much."

Royal Ascot may not be on the cards for Obligate but she was nonetheless impressive in fighting off Pure Zen to record a third win in as many starts for Pascal Bary and Khalid Abdullah, making all under Pierre-Charles Boudot to shatter a 16-year race record in the Prix de Sandringham.

In doing so she completed a fine couple of days for her sire Frankel, who was also responsible for Investec Oaks heroine Anapurna on Friday.

"She was pretty courageous to make all again and I gather she's done it in a record time," said Juddmonte racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe. "I think Ascot will probably come too soon so we would look at either the Jean Prat or the Prix Rothschild at Deauville."
