Inspiral and Frankie Dettori can be assured of a serious challenger from France in Saturday's Virgin Bet Sun Chariot Stakes, after it was revealed that dual Group 1 winner Mqse De Sevigne would make the trip with rising star Alexis Pouchin in the saddle.
Mqse De Sevigne, representing trainer Andre Fabre and owner-breeder Edouard de Rothschild, improved on some second-placed efforts to strike in the Group 1 Prix Rothschild at Deauville on what was her first attempt over a straight mile under Pouchin.
