All being well he will run at Epsom. He doesn’t need to lead.
The Monsun colt maintained his unbeaten record in the Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud earlier this month, a race Fabre won with Pour Moi before he went on to land the Epsom Classic in 2011.
Ocovango made all the running in the Group Two, but Fabre believes his charge is adaptable tactics-wise.
Previously Fabre has been reticent to commit to England’s premier race but he said yesterday: “All being well he will run at Epsom. He doesn’t need to lead. I just didn’t want it to turn into a normal French race where they went no gallop. By making the running we could make it a decent pace.”
Ocovango is a best-priced 14-1 for Epsom with Paddy Power.
