CRIMPLENE SET FOR FRENCH TEST

Crimplene will try for her fourth Group One victory in succession when taking on Sendawar and nine other rivals in Sunday`s Prix du Haras de Fresnay-Le-Buffard Jacques le Marois at Deauville.

Newmarket trainer Clive Brittain delayed a final decision on her participation in the French contest until after she had a light workout this morning.

And after pleasing jockey Philip Robinson the filly was given the green light.

Brittain said: 'She runs, she did a little work this morning with Philip Robinson who was very pleased with her.

'She seems to have come out of her race at Goodwood extremely well, better than I could have expected.'

Crimplene added the Vodafone Nassau Stakes at Goodwood last Saturday to her wins in the Irish 1000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes.

Godolphin, who had five possibles after the first forfeit stage, will rely on Muhtathir, winner of the Group Two Premio Emilio Turati in Milan on his penultimate start.

Frankie Dettori takes the ride.

The other British-trained challenger for the #115,274 winner`s prize is the Nigel Tinkler-trained Sugarfoot, who will be ridden by Cash Asmussen.

The Texan jockey was also linked with the ride on Lady Of Chad but the Richard Gibson-trained filly, who was recently purchased by Teruya Yoshida, will now be ridden by Japanese ace Masayoshi Ebina.

With no rain predicted the ground is expected to be good to firm on Sunday.

Sendawar, joint top-rated miler in France last year, is likely to start favourite to redeem his reputation following his disappointing fourth behind Dubai Millennium in the Prince Of Wales`s Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The Aga Khan`s four-year-old colt will be ridden as usual by Gerald Mosse.

On Saturday, the Michael Jarvis-trained Alrassaam, (Robinson) leads the British challenge for the Prix Gontaut-Biron.

The eight-runner field for the 10-furlong Group Three event also includes Godolphin`s Kabool (Christophe Soumillon) and Richard Hannon`s Cape Grace (Thierry Jarnet).
