Chantilly option is now a possible for French 2000 Guineas runner-up Hey Gaman.
James Tate will wait until the beginning of next week before deciding whether to let Hey Gaman return to France for Sunday's Prix du Jockey Club .
A close-up third in last month's Greenham Stakes at Newbury, the son of New Approach then lined up in the French 2000 Guineas- the Poule d'Essai des Poulains- and ran a stormer to finish a narrow second behind Jean-Claude Rouget's Olmedo .
Hey Gaman could bid for Classic glory again in this weekend's French Derby or wait for Royal Ascot next month .
Tate said:
“We're somewhat undecided at the moment. We're still considering whether to run on Sunday or wait for the St James's Palace Stakes . ” I don't think the mile and a one-quarter on Sunday would be any problem for him, so I am tempted to running, but we'll see how he is, what the weather is doing and what the opposition is looking like later in the week . ” He's ready to run in another Group One, but we just have to choose our race carefully . ” With a horse of his calibre, you can't run them every week and we just want to do right by him .”
