Thousand Stars led home Zaidpour to give Willie Mullins a one-two in the Gras Savoye Hipcover Prix La Barka at Auteuil.
The valuable Grade Two event is seen as the final recognised trial before the French Champion Hurdle, which Thousand Stars also won last year.
A real favourite in the yard, Thousand Stars began his season in November winning the Morgiana Hurdle and ran some superb races in defeat behind the likes of Hurricane Fly and Big Buck's.

Sir Peter O'Sullevan, the BBC's revered retired racing commentator, described Frankel as a "joy to behold" after the wonder colt notched up a perfect 10 of victories.
The four-year-old, trained by Sir Henry Cecil, took his winning tally into double figures when blowing away the opposition in the JLT Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on Saturday and the 'voice of racing' was suitably impressed.
