DABIRSIM will have a new jockey when he makes his return to action in the Prix Fontainebleau on April 15 after it was confirmed that Christophe Soumillon has signed to ride owner SimonSpringer's horses.

Frankie Dettori was on board the son of Hat Trick for both his Group 1 successes last season, but Springer has moved to secure the services of Soumillon, whose first retainer is with the Wildenstein family.

"We have a firm agreement with Soumillon that he is to ride all our horses this season, as long as his other commitments allow," said racing manager Olaf Profft from Munich.
