12.30 - Criterium International - Lagardere hero Puerto Rico bids for hat-trick

Aidan O'Brien's Puerto Rico seeks a hat-trick in the Group One Criterium International at Saint-Cloud.

The trainer has several chances on the card, and his son of Wootton Bassett could be the pick. He improved to win the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster before running out a ready winner of the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere. The step up to a mile could suit and he will take plenty of stopping under Christophe Soumillon.

Stablemates Port Of Spain and Piazza San Marco have also been declared, while the home team is headed by Lagardere fourth Campacite.

German raider Gostam is another to be considered.

1.34 - Criterium de Saint-Cloud - Progressive Pierre Bonnard headlines

Pierre Bonnard headlines a field of 11 for a cracking renewal of the Criterium de Saint-Cloud.

The O'Brien-trained son of Camelot comfortably claimed the Group Three Zetland Stakes at Newmarket to take his career record to two from three. He is expected to take this before contesting Derby trials in the spring.
