Tiggy Abbaye run not set in stone

Richard Hannon stressed the brilliant Tiggy Wiggy "is by no means certain" to run in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp next Sunday.

The Group One five-furlong dash, for which she would need to be supplemented, was the race on everyone's lips after the speedy juvenile made it six wins from eight races in the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.

While the Marlborough trainer is keen on taking her to Paris, there a lot of things to consider, especially the well-being of the filly.

"Tiggy Wiggy has come back fine and she may yet be heading for Paris, but I would like to stress that it is by no means certain," he told www.richardhannonracing.co.uk.

"There are so many key factors to consider - would it be one race too many, will it come too quick and is it worth taking a chance when the draw out there is so important, not to mention the vital fact that either Richard Hughes rides at 2lb overweight or we look for a new jockey?

"The owners would love to run in France and so would we, but the welfare of Tiggy Wiggy comes first, and we will see how she is in a couple of days before making a decision as to whether to supplement."
