Mick Channon's Luhaif could finish only fifth in the Prix de Conde at Longchamp.

Jockey Sam Hitchcott was keen to make the running in the Group Three over nine furlongs, but he was soon in trouble once the pace quickened along the home straight.

Morandi, trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, travelled smoothly in Luhaif's slipstream and could not have won with any more authority when sent on his way by Gregory Benoist.

Bloodstock Al: @Cozza84 yes big chance I'd say!
Bloodstock Al: @MrAWootton Just can't have a strong opinion either way. Pedigree gives mixed messages so pure guesswork.
Bloodstock Al: @MrAWootton No idea, class may see him home despite it not being his optimum trip. Hope he stays and would rather just enjoy the spectacle!
Bloodstock Al: @MrAWootton And nobody will know that until Saturday week...his relaxed running style will give him every opportunity of staying at least.
