THE favourite La Cressonniere was kept out of all the trouble in last Sunday’s Prix de Diane Longines at Chantilly, where nine of the 16 runners met with some sort of interference.

Italian-born Cristian Demuro gave the filly a faultess ride, which allowed her to extend her unbeaten record to seven and also land a classic double, as the daughter of Le Havre had previously won the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches.
