Winner at Rochefort over hurdles and then at Le Lion over fences, the 4 year old  Royality (AQPS - Visionary) was successful on his first run over the fences of Auteuil in the Prix Jean Noiret (AQPS-3.600m). The protégé of Philippe Peltier, who he found at his breeder's Amedee Choupeault, galloped in the leading group before accelerating away from Rosignol Collonges (AQPS-Brier Creek) and Ryes (AQPS-Rifapour), who had attempted an attack on the bend , and finished a length and a half in front of Ryes et Rosignol. "He was a little keen in running for his second chase and his first one here", explained Philippe Peltier, "but David Berra had to take a pull at the bullfinch when the gap closed in front of him. It actually benefited him; it gave him to time to take a breather. He picked up speed at the last, which he jumped well. I got him at the end of the year when he was a 2 year old. I had seen him at Lion, when he won, but I wasn't a big fan of his sire".
