As mentioned elsewhere, Dettori indeed goes to Echo of Light, with Christophe Soumillon taking over on Librettist. Soumillon reunites with Hurricane Run in the Turf and is booked on Germance, my price shot, in the FM Turf.
Most of the other interesting jockey developments were in the Mile. Badactor will no doubt welcome Jamie Spencer on Ad Valorum if he fancies his chances. John Gosden has reached out for old pal Alex Solis for Sleeping Indian, Gomez stays with Aussie Rules and Ramon Dominguez will partner Rob Roy.
Does Fabre sound less than enthusiastic about Hurricane Run?
"It will probably be Hurricane Run’s last race. He has run very good races with different conditions, different surfaces, different pace. It was good to keep him at four just to win the King George. Anybody would be happy with that. For me he is just a super horse.”
