It was not easy for Sottsass (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) in Sunday’s G1 Prix Ganay at Chantilly, but White Birch Farm’s G1 Prix du Jockey-Club hero and G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe third duly delivered to put his 4-year-old campaign on the right track. Settled third early by Cristian Demuro racing without cover as Shaman (Ire) (Shamardal) led at a crawl, the even-money favourite who had been fourth in the G2 Prix d’Harcourt at ParisLongchamp May 11 gained a narrow lead with 300 metres remaining and battled gamely as Way To Paris (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}) closed in. At the line, there was just a head between them, with Shaman fading to third three lengths away.
