Ectot came out best in a duel with Karakontie to enhance his Classic claims in the Prix de Fontainebleau at Longchamp.

Winner of his final four starts as a juvenile having been beaten by Karakontie when the pair made their debuts at Compiegne in July, the Elie Lellouche-trained three-year-old was recently added to the Investec Derby field at a cost of £8,000.

Curragh workouts delight O'Brien.

Quote:

Unbeaten colt Geoffrey Chaucer could be prepared for a tilt at next month's French 2000 Guineas after starring in a team of over 40 horses worked by Aidan O'Brien after racing at the Curragh.

The three-year-old son of Montjeu won a Leopardstown maiden and the Beresford Stakes at the Curragh as a juvenile and the master of Ballydoyle is considering whether to let his charge return in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains at Longchamp on May 11 or run him at Leopardstown on the same day.

Obliterator takes Newmarket trial.

Ger Lyons will find out if he has a Classic contender on his hands when Obliterator runs in the ebm-papst Feilden Stakes at Newmarket on Wednesday.

The Qatar Racing-owned colt was an impressive winner of a Curragh maiden on his only start as a juvenile in September and is a half-brother to Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Just The Judge.

Christophe Soumillon has been booked to ride Noozhoh Canarias in the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on May 3.

Enrique Leon's three-year-old will become the first Spanish-trained horse to run in a British Classic when he takes his chance on the Rowley Mile next month, earning his place with an impressive comeback victory in Madrid at the end of March.

Doyle in awe of Kingman engine.

Quote:

Jockey James Doyle compared riding Qipco 2000 Guineas favourite Kingman to driving a Ferrari following his scintillating display in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.

John Gosden's colt, who carries the Khalid Abdullah silks of the mighty Frankel, rocketed to the top of ante-posts lists for the first Classic of the season with a brilliant display, pulling four and a half lengths clear without being extended.

Ground key to Thakhira Classic aim.

Ground conditions will dictate whether Al Thakhira runs in the English or French 1000 Guineas.

Marco Botti's Rockfel winner went down with all guns blazing on Saturday when second to J Wonder in the Fred Darling at Newbury, beaten just a head.

"I was chuffed with her, she ran a good race," said the Newmarket handler.

Varian - Hill in peak form.

Kingston Hill could be taken to Newmarket racecourse this week - though not for a prep run before the Qipco 2000 Guineas.

Trainer Roger Varian is keen to reacclimatise the Racing Post Trophy winner with Headquarters before he contests the colts' Classic on May 3.

Fly on track for more records.

Quote:

Hurricane Fly is on target to try for a sixth successive win at the Punchestown Festival.

The remarkable 10-year-old, who boasts a record 19 Grade One victories, is on course for the Racing Post Champion Hurdle, which he has won for the last four seasons, on May 2, while the opposition is likely to include Jezki, who had him back in fourth place when lifting the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Bobs Worth unlikely for Punchestown.

Quote:

Nicky Henderson has firmed up some of his options for Punchestown but Bobs Worth is highly unlikely to be among his team.

The Seven Barrows handler expects to take about 10 of his string over for the Festival but it will be Long Run, a faller in the Grand National, and not the 2013 Gold Cup winner who will be his representative in the Bibby Financial Services Ireland Punchestown Gold Cup.

Sandiva strikes for Dettori.

Quote:

Sandiva laid down her Classic credentials in the Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket.

The daughter of Footstepsinthesand was positioned in midfield under a confident Frankie Dettori ride and had too much class for Euro Charline and Godolphin's well-supported Majeyda when push came to shove.

True class tells at Newmarket.

True Story looked every inch a horse with a bright future when landing the Listed ebm-papst Feilden Stakes at Newmarket in good style.

Saeed bin Suroor's Manduro colt arrived at HQ boasting fancy entries in the Qipco 2000 Guineas, the Betfred Dante Stakes and the Investec Derby and could hardly have been more impressive in beating the well-touted Obliterator by seven lengths.

Shifting Power had to pull out all the stops to justify 13-8 favouritism in the Listed CSP European Free Handicap at Newmarket.

Ryan Moore was at his action-packed best on the unbeaten colt and he rallied well to get back up by a head from Mushir.
