Ocovango will have his next start in the Grand Prix de Paris after finishing fifth in the Derby at Epsom on Saturday.

Unbeaten before running in the Classic, he met two spots of interference which the stewards looked into but no action was taken.

He will stay at a mile and a half for his next run at Longchamp on July 13th, but Fabre has not ruled out dropping in trip in the future.

"I was satisfied with him," said Fabre. "Ocovango could have finished a bit closer, but he met two bits of trouble - only what happens at Epsom all the time.

"I'm not complaining, he had his chance, and he may have been second or third at best with a clear run.

"He will run in the Grand Prix de Paris next.

"I don't think he'll be returning to England in the near future as there are races in France that suit him, maybe the softer ground suits him, too.

"He could drop back in trip. Races over 10 and 12 furlongs will be his options."
