Longchamp Race 6 - Qatar Prix Niel (Group 2)

BENVENUTO CELLINI (3) failed to complete a hat-trick registering a 2L third to a subsequent winner in the 2414m G1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 54-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 7 in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris at this track on July 14 over 2400m, 0.8 len behind Maltese Cross with 58.5kg at $3.60. Before that favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.3 len in the G3 Prix Hocquart at this track on May 24 over 2200m defeating Jabracadabra with 58.5kg at $2. Looks hard to beat back in this easier level.
