Michael Bell's Bighearted pencilled in for Prix Charles Laffitte at Compiegne


Michael Bell plans to send progressive filly Bighearted on her travels after earmarking the Prix Charles Laffitte at Compiegne as her next port of call.

After chasing home Fanny Logan her first start in Listed company at Yarmouth last week, the daughter of Farhh will be kept at the same level and trip for the mile-and-a-quarter contest on October 7.

Although meeting with defeat on her most recent start, Bighearted had previously rattled up a hat-trick of wins for the season with victories at Windsor, Pontefract and Beverley.

Bell said: "She ran a great race at Yarmouth and appears to have come out of it well, so the plan is to go to Compiegne on October 7 for a mile-and-a-quarter Listed race there.

"She has just worked her way through the ranks, but she is bred to be good being by Farhh out of a Group One-winning mare (Bianca Nera).

"Hopefully she can win at this sort of level this year, but if not next year, as she will improve from three to four."
