The Gredley family's Ambiente Friendly (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), second in the 2024 G1 Derby, will gain the services of Christophe Soumillon when he contests the G2 Prix Niel on Sept. 15, according to trainer James Fanshawe.

The Listed Lingfield Derby Trial Stakes hero, who was third in the G1 Irish Derby, was last seen running 10th in the G1 International Stakes at York on Aug. 21. The Group 2 is a pointer for the Oct. 6 G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Fanshawe said, “That's the plan–all being well, he goes for the Niel and Christophe Soumillon has been booked. He seems really well.”
