Ventura Tormenta had finished over six lengths behind The Lir Jet at Royal Ascot in the Norfolk Stakes, but Hannon’s youngster was making his debut on that occasion. Since then he has been busy, winning at Yarmouth on Derby day and finishing a five-length fifth of 10 in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket’s July Festival. Showing real tenacity and hardiness given he was having his fourth race in the space of a month, Ventura Tormenta looked a sitting duck as T...

Peaceful is likely to head for Sunday's Prix de Diane at Chantilly, with Love heading for Saturday's Investec Oaks at Epsom, as Aidan O'Brien looks to keep his star fillies apart. Love won the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in fine style, while Peaceful romped away with the Irish equivalent at the Curragh. Both were entered for Epsom, but it now seems likely only one will run.                       Andrew Nelis racing 

John Gosden's Mishriff is among 27 colts in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly on Sunday. An impressive winner of a Newmarket Listed race on his return to action, beating better fancied stablemate Waldkonig, Gosden favoured keeping him at 10 furlongs rather than stepping up in trip for Epsom. The only other entry from Britain is Paul and Oliver Cole's Celtic Art, runner-up in a Deauville Listed race last October..                       Andrew Nelis racing 

Victor Ludorum heads three contenders for Andre Fabre in Monday's Poule d'Essai des Poulains, with 11 colts entered in the first French Classic of the year. The Godolphin-owned runner, who was a Group One winner as a juvenile, suffered a surprise defeat on his return at ParisLongchamp earlier this month, but he could still take his chance along with stablemates Alson and Arapaho. Alson was a Group One scorer last year before joining Fabre's team, while Arapaho struck Listed gold on his reappearance earlier this month.

On the first day back of French racing it is no surprise to see Andre Fabre represented with plenty of leading chances. The biggest name among the runners for the 30-time champion trainer is Victor Ludorum, the unbeaten favourite for the French Guineas. The son of Shamardal comes into the season following an impressive win in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere on Arc day. Victor Ludorum is certainly the one to beat in Monday's Prix de Fontainebleau ( 11.55 ) as he looks to enhance his Classic credentials. The mob-handed Fabre is also responsible for the market leader in the French 1,000 Guineas with Tropbeau. Third at Newmarket in the Cheveley Park last time, she takes on key Classic contenders Khayzaraan, Dream And Do and stablemate Tickle Me Green in what looks a fascinating trial ( 12.25 ). Other runners for Fabre to note include smart sprint prospect Duhail ( 9.55 ) and Syrtis, who bids for a first Group-level win in the competitive Prix d'Harcourt ( 1.05 )....

Following seven weeks on a meagre international diet, French racing roars back into action with a stellar card and all-star cast at ParisLongchamp on Monday. Two Classic trials and the Prix d'Harcourt are the headline event, with Victor Ludorum understandably well fancied for the Prix de Fontainebleau - a rehearsal for the French 2000 Guineas.
