LONGCHAMP today features the Group 3 Prix de la Porte Maillot where Noozhoh Canarias and Olivier Peslier bid for their first win since early last year.

He then finished fifth behind Night Of Thunder in the 2000 Guineas and has been third on his two starts this season.

Dar Re Mi’s son De Treville, trained by André Fabre, looks a more likely winner for Maxime Guyon. Fabre also runs Baghadur who is on a hat-trick with Mickael Barzalona on board.

MAISONS LAFFITTE

There are two Group 3s on tomorrow’s card with Fractional likely to provide Godolphin with a win over four opponents in the mile Prix Messidor with Mikeal Delzangles’ Bookrunner seeking a hat-trick and the main danger. The six-furlong Prix de Ris-Orangis is a clash between France’s top sprinter Catcall and the André Fabre-trained Mexican Gold who was well fancied for the French 1000 Guineas where she was third to Evedrya but was only fourth in the Group 2 Prix Sandringham last time to Impassable.
