A trip to Ascot looks on the horizon for Horizon Dore following his comfortable success in the Group 3 Prix du Prince d’Orange at Longchamp.

Patrice Cottier's charge completed a hat-trick this afternoon following wins at Listed level over today's course and distance and a commanding victory in the Group 2 Prix Eugene Adam at Saint-Cloud last-time-out. 

The three-year-old gelded son of Dabirsim travelled strongly towards the rear of the field under Cristian Demuro and quickened up smartly to score by two and a half lengths and give away 4lb to his rivals in the process. 

Mr Moliere stayed on well to grab second in the dying strides but he was ultimately no match for the 3/5 favourite who scored with plenty in hand. 

Horizon Dore, who finished runner-up to Big Rock in the Prix de Guiche in May, will now likely head to Ascot for a tilt at the Qipco Champion Stakes, after Pauline Chehboub, racing manager for her family's Gousserie Racing, told Sky Sports Racing: "That [Champion Stakes] is the plan for him and has been since his win in the Eugene Adam.

"We are very pleased with him, he's a Group 1 horse in the making and he has a bright future. We really love him.

"We are excited to have him and think about the Champion Stakes in October. I think he will maybe come back here for the Prix Dollar as there is now three weeks between the Dollar and the Champion Stakes, which is perfect for him."

Paddy Power cut the winner to 14/1 from 20/1 to land the Champion Stakes at Ascot in October.
