The in-form Harrington team are hopeful of a big run from Village Voice in the Prix Corrida at Saint-Cloud today.

The Zarak filly was successful by a neck in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in October and resumed her career with a third place in the Group 3 Alleged Stakes at the Curragh last month.

She then finished fourth in the Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes at the same track earlier this month for Jessica Harrington.

Assistant trainer Kate Harrington said: “She’s come out of the Mooresbridge very well. That was a slowly-run race that day and turned into a sprint which didn’t really suit her.

“She’s travelled over well and is back at Saint-Cloud where she won at the backend of last year.

“This was always her main aim for the first half of this season.

“She won a Group 3 there last year and this is a Group 2 fillies' only. She’s been running against the boys here and we’re hoping for a big run.”
