Spirit lands French sprint.

Robert Cowell's British raider Spirit Quartz took Group Two honours in the Prix du Gros-Chene at Chantilly under a tactically astute ride from Jamie Spencer.
Placed at Pattern level on numerous occasions last season, the five-year-old's only previous success since joining Cowell came in a Nottingham conditions race back in early April, though he was a fair fifth in the Temple Stakes at Haydock last weekend.
The 7-2 joint-favourite was never far off the pace in this five-furlong contest and quickened a couple of lengths clear over a furlong down. Market rival Catcall finished strongly down the centre of the track, but Spirit Quartz held on to gain a narrow verdict.
