ANDREW SCUTTS “Cole happy to plot new route with RIMTH.

“Memories of  CULTURE VULTURE are sure to come flooding back should RIMTH  win the

Poule D’Essai Des Pouliches at Longchamp today but, 19 years on , Paul Cole was yesterday emphatic in emphasising differences, not similarities.

“RIMTH is a very different scenario from CULTURE VULTURE, who  went to this race  as a proven top-class miler and had won two Group 1s over this trip at two.

“RIMTH tackles a mile for the first time  today. Her juvenile campaign was restricted to 6f  races.

“I obviously hope she gets a mile; it is possible that seven furlongs is top whack and she does come from a speedy family. I’m very happy with her , though, and her chance is reflected in her price – she’s around 8-1.  I won’t tie CHRISTOPHE down with instructions, as he knows how to ride Longchamp better than me, but she will be dropped in.”

LEE MOTTERSHEAD “HANAGAN  unfazed by outside draw for BASSETT on ‘biggest day ‘of my career.”

“PAUL HANAGAN describes WOOTTON  BASSETT as ‘by far the best colt’ he has ridden and also  ‘the best colt in today’s  Poule D’Essai Des Poulains.”

TOM O’RYAN  on the anticipation inside the Fahey camp. “Riding him is a thrill and a privilege, like driving a Rolls-Royce.
