Race One – VIVA HUNTER There are more obvious candidates but Viva Hunter enjoyed a nice pipe-opener at Happy Valley and has the services of Hugh Bowman. His mark is no gift but he’s tough, genuine and ought to give a good account. Race Two – NICE BIRDIE A son of Kodiac, Nice Birdie can…

An interesting renewal of the 1100 metres Listed event at Chantilly, offering proof that decent French sprinters exist despite the annual British invasion for the Prix de l’ Abbaye de Longchamp on Arc weekend.
