The 2026 Prix du Jockey Club picture is getting clearer as we approach Sunday's Group One showdown at Chantilly Racecourse. Favourite Benvenuto Cellini has now been ruled out of the encounter and it opens the way for Constitution River to line up instead. Trainer Aidan O'Brien appears to favour the French Derby route for the latter and the odds reflect this.

As you might expect, there are a stack of Ballydoyle entries at the preliminary stage of proceedings and O'Brien is hoping to secure a third success in a race where he's previously saddled St Mark's Basilica and Camille Pissarro to victory. The latter scored twelve months ago and provides the handler with a blueprint for how the race can be won.

2026 Prix du Jockey Club Betting Tips

We're counting down to the Prix du Jockey Club on Sunday and Constitution River is a horse who could be the one to back. Aidan O'Brien has seen his charge land a consecutive hat-trick of victories and the latest was a straightforward success at Chester. During the May meeting, it was nice and easy to land the Dee Stakes by seven lengths.

That came after winning back in August when triumphing at the Curragh, with this Futurity Stakes success coming over seven furlongs. The 5/6 favourite was able to score by two lengths and there was previously a win at Galway back in July. However, this could represent a tougher test in Chantilly.

Hawk Mountain is another O'Brien-trained charge that commands respect. The horse returns to Chantilly where he previously landed an odds-on victory. That was over a mile and a furlong in early May, with that coming after succeeding at Doncaster in October. There was previously a double win at the Curragh and perhaps this is a good each-way shout.

Daryzan might be capable of winning a home victory for the French. Graffard trains a runner who is relatively unknown but being respected by the layers. The 7/10 favourite was able to score by five lengths at Saint-Cloud in early May. That was over a mile on soft ground, with Hankelow and Komorebi trading as decent each-way alternatives.
