AIDAN O’Brien will have two representatives in the field of 10 likely to go to post for Sunday’s Deauville Group 1, the Aga Khan Studs Prix Jacques le Marois.

Richard Hannon supplies the favourite in the Richard Hannon-trained Rosallion, seeking his first Group 1 of the season after narrow defeats in at Royal Ascot and Goodwood.

Looking for their first Group 1s are the two O’Brien colts, Diego Velazquez and The Lion In Winter. The latter was the one-time Derby favourite and was beaten just three-quarters of a length on his last trip to France in the seven-furlong Group 1 Prix Jean Prat when third to

Woodshauna on softer going than he will encounter on Sunday.

International interest is provided by Japanese filly Ascoli Piceno, who won the Group 1 Victoria Mile at Tokyo in May.

Godolphin rely on the 2024 2000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes winner Notable Speech.

He was supplemented for the July Cup over six furlongs and sent off favourite on his first time at any other trip than a mile, but failed to produce his best when only fifth to shock winner No Half Measures.

This season he had already finished fourth in the Lockinge and Queen Anne Stakes and Charlie Appleby expects the quicker ground conditions expected to suit.

"People might say it was a bit confusing regarding trip and dropping back to the six furlongs for the July Cup, but I personally think anything between six furlongs and a mile will suit him, and there's another Group 1 in him for sure."

French stables have not won the top mile event since 2017 and their main representative is the Aga Khan’s Ridari who contested the French Guineas and Derby and was last seen finishing third in the Group 3 Prix Messidor last month.
