The Lion In Winter Added to Prix Jean Prat Field

[Wandering Eyes]

The Lion In Winter has been supplemented for Sunday's G1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville, which could have a field of up to 10 runners. 

The most recent win for Coolmore's son of Sea The Stars came over the same distance of seven furlongs (1400m) in last year's G3 Acomb Stakes at York, a race in which subsequent 2,000 Guineas winner Ruling Court (Justify) finished third.

Also added to the field at Thursday's confirmation stage was Apollo Fountain (No Nay Never). Trained by Andre Fabre, he won the Listed Prix Yacowlef last season for Juddmonte, who could also be represented by the Harry Charlton-trained Cosmic Year, who was runner-up to fellow Kingman colt Field Of Gold in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. 

Also among the entries is Godolphin's Shadow Of Light (Lope De Vega) and the Christopher Head-trained Maranoa Charlie (Wootton Bassett), who was recently sold to the Yorkshire-based Bond Thoroughbreds operation.
