Today on Sky Sports Racing: French Derby entrants Dolmalan and Montreal clash at Chantilly

There is quality action on both sides of the English Channel on Tuesday as the Your Site Racing cameras focus on Chantilly, Yarmouth, Southwell and Lingfield.

The race of the day looks set to be the Listed Prix de Suresnes at Chantilly where five go to post, featuring Prix du Jockey Club (French Derby) entrants Montreal and Dolmalan.

Last year produced some useful horses with the winner Nitoi headed to the Prix du Jockey Club alongside the second (Leffard) and fourth (Azimpour) whereas third place New Ground went to the Derby at Epsom. Juwelier finished fifth and came second in the Saratoga Derby.

Starting with the home team, Aga Khan Studs look to have another hot colt on the hands by the name of Dolmalan, who is two from two and comes here off the back of a win at Chantilly.

Montreal is a very interesting runner given he is from the Aidan O'Brien yard and he will bid to throw his hat in the ring for the Classic picture which sees him currently sitting at 16/1 for the Betfred Derby.

Martagny represents the same owners of Leffard and he comes here with the most experience with two wins to his name.

Lady Mariko comes into this ÂŁ13,000 handicap on an upward trajectory and will bid to defy the 6lb rise she received after winning well at Kempton last time out.

She brought up her third career win and first since July with James Doyle in the plate earlier this month where she was prominent throughout and extended well to win eased down.

The handicapper hasn't messed around knocking her up to 80 from 74 which makes today's assignment a whole lot trickier.

The rest of the field are very much out of form but Bridget's View, who is rated 86, brings some interesting form to this contest based on her last win in December.

She smashed Stateira, who then went on to win at All-Weather Finals Day, winning the Fillies' And Mares' Championships at Newcastle.

The third race on the card is the Follow @attheraces On Instagram Handicap and it sees Eternal Solace take on 10 rivals.

This daughter of Tasleet is still very much unexposed having only ran eight times, winning two of those. One win coming at Brighton and the other was October last year over today's course and distance.

She is in form without winning recently, having finished second in the All-Weather 3-Year-Old Championships at Newcastle earlier in the month and that sets the standard.

Bone Marra is up 5lb for the win at Wolverhampton in November and a winter on his back will surely not be a bad thing and you'd expect him to progress so will be dangerous.

Comprador is a full-brother to Trillium, who won the Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster. She is a three-race maiden and steps into handicaps for the first time and poses interest.
