Avenir stars at Chantilly.

Avenir Certain completed a French Classic double when swooping wide and late in the Prix de Diane Longines at Chantilly.
In what looked an open but high-class renewal of the race known as the French Oaks, Jean-Claude Rouget's unbeaten filly was considered a leading player after her impressive victory in the Guineas at Longchamp five weeks earlier.
With the Newmarket 1000 Guineas winner Miss France failing to find room and the highly touted Shamkala not picking up as anticipated, Gregory Benoist flew past the field in the closing stages to finish a length ahead of surprise package grey Amour A Papa.
