Break sidesteps French trip

Big Break was the most notable withdrawal at the latest forfeit stage for the Prix Poule d’Essai des Pouliches, the French 1000 Guineas, at Longchamp on Sunday.

Dermot Weld’s Group Three winner was taken out of the Newmarket equivalent at the final declaration stage, but connections have intimated she could still go for the Etihad Airways Irish 1000 at the Curragh on May 26.
