Fintry returns to Chantilly, France, for the mile Group Three Prix Bertrand du Breuil Longines on Sunday, June 14.

The Andre Fabre-trained filly is unbeaten in two appearances at the course, both over a mile, having succeeded by six lengths in a Listed race in May, 2014, and won the Group Two Prix de Sandringham in good style the following month.

She also captured the Group Three TBA Atalanta Stakes over a mile at Sandown Park, UK, in August and ended her 2014 campaign with a fine third in the Group One Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes over the same trip at Newmarket, UK, in October.

On her first start of this season, the four-year-old daughter of Shamardal kept on to finish fifth in the Group Two Charm Spirit Dahlia Stakes over nine furlongs at Newmarket on May 3.

Lisa-Jane Graffard of Godolphin said: "Fintry is in great form. She has had a nice interval since running in the Dahlia Stakes and Andre Fabre is very happy with her.

"She has run very well at Chantilly before and any rain would help her chances.

"If she can reproduce her best form from last year, then she should have a good chance of finishing in the first three."

Fintry, with Mickael Barzalona in the saddle for the third time, faces five others including last season's Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and Prix de Diane heroine Avenir Certain and Group Two Prix du Muguet runner-up Spoil The Fun.

Mahfooth won the Prix Bertrand du Breuil, which was formerly run as the Prix du Chemin de Fer du Nord, for Godolphin in 2001.
