THE main events at Chantilly tomorrow afternoon have attracted small but quality fields. The Group 1 Prix d’Ispahan, which in the past has been won by household names like Solow, Cirrus Des Aigles and Goldikova, has just six contenders.

The Prix Vicomtesse Vigier is a trial for the Gold Cup at Ascot but only four runners turn out for this event. The lack of participants could partly be due to the current heatwave and Chantilly has been basking in the sun for several days.
