There is a double helping of Group One action on Sky Sports Racing from Deauville on Sunday, plus Flat racing from Yarmouth and Brighton.

2.50 Deauville – Melbourne Cup hero makes highly-anticipated European debut

European racegoers have been made to wait to see Melbourne Cup winner Verry Elleegant and both Frankie Dettori and new trainer Francis-Henri Graffard will hope to dazzle those watching Deauville on Sunday.

She is the star attraction in the Group One Darley Prix Jean Romanet Stakes (2.50) after skipping last month’s Prix Rothschild as Graffard gave her more time to acclimatise following the big move from Australia.

Connections have made no secret of their long-term plan to target the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe but she would need to perform well here to make a mark on an already quality field heading to ParisLongchamp in October.

The British challenge includes Richard Hannon’s Aristia, twice a runner-up at Group level this season, producing a career-best when chasing home Nashwa in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood last month.
