Tuesday's action at Chantilly saw the first winner for Dalham Hall Stud's Harry Angel (Ire) (by Dark Angel {Ire}) as the Mauricio Delcher Sanchez-trained colt Vicious Harry (Fr) took the five-furlong Prix du Coq Chantant for unraced colts and geldings. Settled in behind the early leaders by Tony Piccone, the 4-1 shot reeled in Neversay (Fr) (No Nay Never) inside the final 150 metres for a 1 1/2-length success. The dam is a granddaughter of the great Miesque (Nureyev), descended from her via the Listed Prix de Lieurey scorer and G3 Prix de Seine-et-Oise third Moon Is Up (Woodman). That makes her a half to the G1 Thekwini S. winner Amanee (Aus) (Pivotal {GB}) and to the dam of the GI Breeders' Cup Mile and G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains-winning sire Karakontie (Jpn) (Bernstein).
