Last year's 1000 Guineas winner Miss France was the only absentee from the five-day confirmations as nine were declared for Saturday's Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket.

Andre Fabre has decided to leave the filly in France to run in the Prix Daniel Wildenstein instead but he is still strongly represented by Esoterique.

She beat the boys last time out in the Jacques le Marois and comes up against Michael Stoute's Integral for the fourth time with the score currently at two-all.

Integral won the race last year but has not been seen since disappointing behind Amazing Maria at Royal Ascot.

Also coming over from France are Bawina, second to Odeliz in the Prix Jean Romanet most recently, and Maimara, who was not far behind Ervedya in the Prix du Moulin.

Martyn Meade's Irish Rookie, second in the French equivalent of the 1000 Guineas earlier in the season, Roger Varian's supplemented Realtra and Mick Channon's Goodwood winner Malabar are not without a chance, either.

Barry Hill's Fadhayyil and Mick Halford's Raydara are also set to line up.
