ZAMINDAR, the 8 to 1 Newmarket 2,000 Guineas favourite, can emulate his top class full brother, Zafonic, by adding the Group One Prix Morny Piaget (6f) to his laurels at Deauville tomorrow.

The Andre Fabre hotpot takes on four rivals including the useful Criquette Head filly, Pas de Reponse, and a British trio of Bahamian Bounty (Frankie Dettori), Rich Ground (Paul Eddery) and Blue Ridge (Richard Hughes).

Richard Hannon's Assessor (Hughes) and Peter Chapple Hyam's Chief Contender (Dettori) oppose three local rivals in the Group Two Prix Kergorlay (1m 7f) and have the Ascot Gold Cup third, Nononito, to beat.

Henry Cecil's Bal Harbour (Gerald Mosse) tries his luck in the Group Three Prix Gontaut Biron (10f) at Deauville today but may not beat the likes of Gunboat Diplomacy and Carling.
