Racing:  Dylan Thomas supplemented an easy victory on his reappearance with another impressive success in the Prix Ganay at Longchamp.

Aidan O'Brien's four-year-old was settled in a share of third for much of the extended 10-furlong contest and was still travelling well within himself as the field swung for home.

Christophe Soumillon had to sit patiently aboard the winner and wait for a gap to appear.

O'Brien's charge scooted clear of runner-up Irish Wells, while Doctor Dino stayed on from the rear to claim third in the Group One contest.
