Christophe Soumillon will replace Richard Hills aboard Youmzain in Sunday's Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud.
Richard Hughes rode the Mick Channon-trained six-year-old to victory in the race last year but was jocked off for Hills in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in October.
He retained the ride in Dubai this spring and for the Coronation Cup at Epsom earlier this month.
However Bruce Raymond, racing manager to Jaber Abdullah, told
http://www.mickchannon.tv: "Jaber felt that as the horse was running in France he would try a new jockey who is familiar with the Saint-Cloud course.
"When we approached Christophe Soumillon he was keen to take the ride, and so we snapped him up. Jaber believes it will prove a wise move."
