Arrival of the fifth: 13 - 6 - 8 - 12 - 1
His return to competition was expected. Idao de Tillard (No. 13) made a winning reappearance at the Prix Jean Riaud but was forced to work until the end to finish, the fault of an excellent Hokkaido Jiel (No. 6). "When there's one next to him, he doesn't like it," says Thierry Duvaldestin, his coach. He lays down his ears and fights. The current best French technician is full of praise for his student, who signs the twentieth success of his career. "He wasn't 100 per cent yet and had weight under his feet," he continues. He has something extra this horse. The favourite of the last Prix d'Amérique allows his director to win his 105th quintet while his son, Clément, now has thirteen to his name as a driver.

After falling on Surprenant, Hohneck or Hussar du Landret, Hokkaido Jiel must again be content with a place of honor but must certainly not be ashamed of his ranking. In net decline, Capital Mail (No. 8) completes the podium and is ahead of the good finisher Elvis du Vallon (No. 12) and Cash Bank Bigi (No. 1).
Stéphan Flourent indicated the quarter in order as well as the fifth in the disorder. Halim Bouakkaz, Maxime Bourrat and our Synthesis also proposed the quintet in disorder.
