Chris and Lesley Mills' globe trotting sprint sensation Mirza is planning to re-tread old steps when returning to Longchamp on Sunday afternoon where he will face eleven rivals in the Qatar Prix Du Petit Couvert a race he has ran for the last two years. 

It is a race that both Rae and his owners Chris and Lesley know well, Mirza's mother Millyant also won the race twice so Mirza is bidding to go one better than Mum!

The race is due off at 1pm UK time and will be broadcast live on At The Races (Sky channel 415)

Elsewhere over the weekend Headline News goes in search of black-type when running in the Listed Stand Cup at Chester on Saturday afternoon.  Only her second attempt in listed company, she was recently narrowly denied black-type finishing a short-head fourth at Windsor.  Fingers crossed she can get a bit closer this time!

 

You can see both horses when we open our doors at Newmarket's Open Day on Sunday 20th September. Visit www.newmarketopenweekend.co.uk to find out more.
