6.33 ParisLongchamp - Arc hero Daryz bids for another Group One success

Arc winner Daryz is the headline act for the Group One Prix Aga Khan IV at ParisLongchamp.

The Francis-Henri Graffard-trained four-year-old produced a scintillating display to land the Prix Ganay on his seasonal return last month and will be expected to claim a third Group One success en route to Royal Ascot.

Sosie heads the dangers for Andre Fabre and Maxime Guyon. The trainer has plundered this prize a record 11 times including with this horse last year. A four-time Group One-winner, the five-year-old finished an excellent third behind Romantic Warrior in Hong Kong and he could give the favourite a fright.

Leffard caught the eye when second behind Bright Picture in the Prix d'Harcourt on his return and he should strip fitter under Cristian Demuro.

Qilin Queen and Divine Chrisnat complete the field.

7.50 ParisLongchamp - Consent, Santorini Star and Al Riffa headline

A deep renewal of the Group One Prix Vicomtesse Vigier sees plenty of British interest among a field of nine.

Also See:

Consent and Santorini Star filled the first two spots in the Group One Prix de Royallieu on Arc weekend and reoppose over this extra distance of almost two miles.

Sir Mark Prescott's Consent made rapid progress last season and remains lightly raced and unexposed over staying trips.

Santorini Star scored on her seasonal reappearance at Newmarket and will look to put her fitness edge to good use.

Caballo De Mar has the services of Oisin Murphy for the first time, while Asmarani and Arrow Eagle are strong each-way players for the home team.

5.58 ParisLongchamp - Royal Ascot hero Lazzat drops in class

All eyes will be on Royal Ascot hero Lazzat as he headlines a classy field for the Group Three Prix du Palais-Royal.

Jerome Reynier's stable star ran out a ready winner of the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes last summer but has failed to taste success since. Narrowly denied on both starts this year, he will be hoping to capitalise on a drop in class under new pilot Michael Barzalona.

Ed Walker reports Noble Champion to be in rude health having suffered an injury when pulled up in the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood and he rates an exciting player under Kieran Shoemark. Sure to come on for the outing, he could run with credit before targeting the Royal meeting next month.

Of the others, Silius looks the most likely to spring a surprise.
