DABIRSIM remains a potential contender for the Qipco 2,000 Guineas after trainer Christophe Ferland declined to express a preference between the British Classic and the French version two weeks later at Longchamp.
Ferland burst onto the international stage last season with the son of Hat Trick, who landed the Prix Morny at Deauville before overcoming traffic problems to cut down his rivals in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp on Arc day.

Speaking to French racing broadcaster Equidia, Ferland gave an upbeat report on his dual Group 1 winner.
"Everything is going well and he's in magnificent shape," he said.
"He hasn't grown an enormous amount because he was already a big horse at two, but I'm delighted with him. I think he's put on weight and he's got stronger."
