ATTENDU reversed form with Omar Bradley when winning the Group 3 Prix La Rochette over seven furlongs at Longchamp last Sunday. Khalid Abdullah’s Lawmaking had made most of the running before being headed by the winner and Omar Bradley but fought back to make it a three-way photo-finish. The winner, a son of Acclamation, is trained by Carlos Laffon-Parias and was the first leg of a double in the day for Maxime Guyon.

Attendu had only been second behind Omar Bradley, a son of War front running in the Joseph Allen colours, with Lawmaking third as the favourite when they made their debuts in a maiden at Deauville at the end of July. Attendu has entries in the Dewhurst but the Jean Luc Lagardere may also be an option.

The Aga Khan’s Vazirabad, a son of Manduro, completed a hat-trick of wins when accounting for the Godolphin-owned favourite Big Blue by a length and a quarter in the Group 3 Prix de Lutece over a mile and seven furlongs. He has the Prix Chaudenay as his target.

Christophe Soumillon, Alain de Royer-Dupré and the Aga Khan completed a double when the Shamardal colt Taniyar took the seven furlong Prix du Pin by a comfortable length and a quarter. Held up in rear, he made good headway to lead inside the final furlong and win cosily. One time 2000 Guineas fancy Noozhoh Canarias made the early running but faded. Alain de Royer-Dupré said the Prix de la Foret was his likely target.

Last year’s 1000 Guineas winner Miss France was sent off odds-on on her belated seasonal reappearance in the Listed Prix de La Cochere but lost out by a short neck to the Wertheimer family’s home-bred Sonnerie, who was winning for the second time this year. The three-year-old by More Than Ready is out of the 1996 winner Cheveley Park Stakes Pas De Reponse and this was just her fourth start for trainer Freddie Head and Maxime Guyon.

Guyon had ridden Miss France to victory in the 1000 Guineas but will not be available for her intended next target, the Group 1 Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket on Arc weekend.

Miss France was ridden by Frankie Dettori on her first run after missing the early part of the season with a splint problem. Dettori was pleased with the effort stating she was a bit rusty but came home well and would be better next time.
