Miss France appears the most likely of Andre Fabre's three entries to run in the Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket on October 4.

The 1000 Guineas heroine is one of 39 entries for the Group One over a mile, in which stablemates Esoterique, who defeated Miss France at Deauville on Sunday, and Fintry are also engaged.

"Miss France and Esoterique have come out of the Prix Rothschild very well, I am happy with them both," Fabre said.

"Miss France is the more likely to run in the Sun Chariot Stakes - at the moment that is the plan for her.

"She has already shown that she can beat the English fillies and she likes good ground and Newmarket is the best course to find that type of ground in October.

"Esoterique has alternative targets at Longchamp and in America, while Fintry was affected by a virus and will need a prep run beforehand.

"After she has run again I will consult with her owner, Sheikh Mohammed, and we will consider the Sun Chariot."
