THERE was a useful field in last Sunday’s Prix La Rochette for two-year-olds at Saint-Cloud but none of the six runners looks Group 1 material.

Not wishing to remove any credit from the 7/1 winner, Kontrastat, who produced a fine turn of foot from the furlong marker, it must be doubted if he will make his presence felt against the English and Irish in the Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on October 2nd.
