The Listed Prix Roland de Chambure features an intriguing clash between the unbeaten Avec Toi and Queen Of The Day, both impressive winners at Saint-Cloud. Charlie Appleby's Abashiri heads the Grade One Belmont Oaks at Saratoga among ten runners, while Pacific Avenue and Title Role renew rivalry in the Belmont Derby.

British trainers target the Listed Prix Yacowlef with Crownbreaker and Minzelle, the latter having cost 450,000gns as a yearling. Kevin Phillipart de Foy's charge ran well in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and faces a drop in class. Summer Sail and Mise En Boite complete the Deauville challenge.

The quality racing continues through the afternoon with Hassaleh representing Appleby in another Listed contest. Charlie Appleby's strong team presence across both venues signals serious intent for the day's major prizes.
