O'Brien pair set for Longchamp
Aidan O’Brien has left in Tomahawk and Catcher In The Rye in Sunday’s Group Three Prix de Fontainebleau at today’s forfeit.
The Longchamp trial, run over the Poule d’Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas) mile course, also numbered Andre Fabre’s duo Shuttle Diplomacy and Clodovil in the 10-strong list.
Dalakhani, the Aga Khan’s top juvenile of last season, stood out among the five left in the French Derby prep, the Group Two Prix Greffulhe.
Etoile Montante, runner-up to Sagitta 1000 Guineas bound Six Perfections in the Prix Marcel Boussac on Arc weekend, has a date in the Prix de la Grotte on the same card.
