up the home straight, but when he picked up, he had it won in two strides... he must be a real crack." In August Mishriff returned to France for the Group 2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano over 2000 metres on heavy ground at Deauville Racecourse and started the odds-on favourite against three opponents namely Victor Ludorum, The Summit and Dream Works (winner of the Listed Prix Ridgway). Ridden by Dettori he took the lead 400 metres from the finish and drew away in the closing stages to win in "impressive" fashion by four and a half lengths.

The best fancied of the other eleven runners were Tacitus and Chuwa Wizard (Champions Cup). After tracking the leaders he turned into the straight in third place behind Charlatan and Knicks Go before staying on strongly in the straight to overhaul Charlatan in the closing stages and winning by a length. After the race Egan said "He jumped very well, probably the best he's ever jumped, I squeezed him along for the first 50 yards and I was actually surprised how well he was going... Around the crest of the bend, when we started turning, was the only kind of worrying time. When they started quickening, I wasn't sure if I was going to get him back rolling again. But once we got going into the straight, I always knew I
