Arizona, Raffle Prize and A’Ali in eight-strong Deauville field

All eyes will be on Deauville  when three Royal Ascot juvenile winners clash in Sunday's Group One Darley Prix Morny.

Aidan O'Brien's Coventry Stakes hero Arizona has his first outing since claiming his big win in June, and will be joined by stablemate Royal Dornoch.

Mark Johnston's Raffle Prize is the mount of Frankie Dettori as she bids for her third Group race victory.

She was successful in the Queen Mary at Ascot and defied a penalty in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes.

Dettori rides her in preference to Simon Crisford's A'Ali, on whom he also won the Prix Robert Papin.

Another big challenger from the UK is Clive Cox's Golden Horde. He was fifth in the Coventry Stakes but stepped up on that to win the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood last time out.

Brian Meehan's Aroha, third in the Albany, also makes the journey.

The raiders will not have it all their own way, though, because Andre Fabre's Earthlight is unbeaten in three races and looked very smart in winning a Group Three last time out.

Freddy Head's Devil, winner of his only race to date, completes the top-class field.
