Talaash came through his trial for the Rothmans Royals St Leger with flying colours in France today.
The Mick Channon-trained colt warmed up for Doncaster a fortnight today by gaining his first Listed win in the Grand Prix de Clairefontaine.
Dominique Boeuf`s mount, sent off 4.7-1 on just his fourth racecourse appearance, took the mile-and-a-half event by three quarters of a length from Crimson Quest with Kathmandu another nose away in third.
Ian Williams` Anticles finished last of the six runners.
Talaash was paying yet another compliment to the form of the Gordon Stakes, having finished sixth at Goodwood behind Great Voltigeur Stakes winner Air Marshall (second) and Give The Slip (fourth), who won the Ebor last week.
