TROPBEAU and Simeen both emerged victorious this week and now head the betting market for the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches-French 1000 Guineas.

The former, currently favourite, is the more experienced of the pair, while Simeen’s career has been nurtured by Jean-Claude Rouget in a manner that could be described as typical of an Aga Khan runner.
