Cheveley Park Stud's Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) will face seven rivals as she bids for a historic treble in Sunday's G1 Prix du Haras de Fresnay-le-Buffard Jacques le Marois at Deauville. Aided by Ryan Moore for the first time, the John and Thady Gosden-trained 5-year-old will upstage fellow dual winners Miesque, Spinning World and Palace Pier (GB) if successful in the prestigious mile feature where last year's runner-up Big Rock (Fr) (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}) is set to re-oppose.
Yeguada Centurion's G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes hero Big Rock has failed to shine in two starts for the Maurizio Guarnieri stable so far in 2024, also has a new partner with Cristian Demuro taking over. Nurlan Bizakov's G1 Queen Anne Stakes hero Charyn (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Peter R Bradley and Scuderia Scolari's G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains winner Metropolitan (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum's unbeaten G2 Summer Mile scorer Quddwah (GB) (Kingman {GB}) and Wathnan Racing's multiple group winner and dual 2,000 Guineas-placed Haatem (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}) are other notables. Jaber Abdullah's 2023 Poulains hero Marhaba Ya Sanafi (Ire) (Muhaarar {GB}) and Christian Wingtans and Nicolas Caullery's 2023 G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest winner King Gold (Fr) (Anodin {Ire}) complete the line-up.
