1. LANCILLOTTO – Disappointing last run when seventh but is better this distance and he can
contest the finish
2. BY EXETER – Disappointing last run when well beate, Did better when fourth in his penultimate
start but is clearly unreliable. Might place
3. BOLTES FAL – A bit of a disappointemnt of late with some modest runs. Probably best on the
PSF but has run well in two handicaps and is not out of it
4. LALOU – Fit and has been in good form since a handicap win in June. Runner-up twice off her
current mark and can go one betetr this time
5. FOR FRIENDSHIP – His only win was a claiemr last year. His best run this year was over this
distance and he could be the surprise package of the race
6. ESPERANCE – Only seventh on handicap debut but has scope for improvement and is distance
suited. Not out of it
7. PAPYRUS ROAD – Has yet to win a race but is fit and he has been very consistent off this
handicap mark and he should fight out the finish once again
8. KING’S CROWN – Fit and has been in good form of late. Has run well at this course but does
seem stretched this distance. Might place
9. UNION SQUARE – Has yet to win a race and she has been well beaten when in handicap
company. Probably best watched this time
10. SWAG GIRL – Only win was a claiemr on debut. Modest last two runs and is trying further.
Might play a minor role
11. TORINOBELLO – Has not shown much in six starts so far. Tries further and is capable of
improvement but others are preferred
12. GRACEHILL – Yet to win a race after 8 attempts and this is her first taste of handicap racing.
Others are preferred
Summary : LALOU (4) is threatening another win after two good runner-up runs recently in
handicap company and she looks the one to be with. PAPYRUS ROAD (7) has to win a race but is
very consistent off his handicap rating and will not go down without a fight. LANCILLOTTO (1) is
betetr this distance and can bounce abck and contest the finish.ESPERANCE (6) has scope for
improvement and is not out of it.

R2 – PRIX DU MAIRE CHRETIEN GLASS – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12.000
1. EL PROFESSOR CHOP – Disappointing form since winning a handicap in May. Needs to find a
few lengths to win this race
2. CLARETINA – Unreliable even in claimers but she did win her latest start and she does have a
winning chance in this line-up
3. MISSOURI – Has yet to win a race but coudl like this shorter distance and he has a winning
chance dropped to a claimer
4. MARLOWE – Has struggled on the turf so far but is distance suited and capable of contesting
the finish
5. MAGIC MOMENT – A three-year-old filly by Attendu out of Downland who is making her debut.
Watch the betting
6. NIGHT CHOPE – Picked up two claimer wins in 2022 but has struggled in most of her runs this
year and is probably best watched this time
7. FRECCETTA – Disappointing since debut win. Well beaten in three handicaps of late but could
be the surprise apckage abck ina claimer
8. WILLIBALD – Only win was on debut in 2022. A bit disappointing when seventh last time out.
Has a winning chance dropped to a claimer
9. KASSAR SAID – Much improved of late and has won her last two claimers. Drops in distance
for hat-trick attempt but is not out of it
10. AMERIYAH – Fair first three starts last year but has lost form this year and was well beaten
twice in handicaps. Capable of doing betetr trying a claimer. Might place
Summary : CLARETINA (2) is unreliable but won well last time out and is capable of following up
in another claimer. The two German raiders MISSOURI (3) and WILLIBALD (8) have similar profiles
and woul not be surprise winners dropped toa claiemr for the first time. MARLOWE (4) is probably
at best on the PSF but is distance suited and deserves some respect in a tough race.

R3 – QATAR PRIX DU PETIT COUVERT – 1000m (a5f) – TURF – Group 3 – Group – Flat – EUR € 80.000
1. COEUR DE PIERRE – 5th at Deauville over 1000m (Listed race) last time behind ASYMMETRIC
(4) in early August. In the mix
2. BERNEUIL – Good 2nd over 1000m ( Listed race) at Chantilly in late June on latest run. He won
this race in 2021/22. Live player
3. PONNTOS – Won over 1200m last time at Most(CZE) 15 days ago. Ought to be on the premises
4. ASYMMETRIC – 6th in a Group 3 last time, won before that over 1000m (Listed) at Deauville in
early August. Can not be ruled out
5. ISMAEL PAINT – Fair 4th over 1100m last time at Dieppe in a Class 2 handicap 12 days ago.
Has work to do
6. LESSLEPASSER – 3rd last time over 1100m in a Class 2 race 16 days ago. Might find a few of
these too good
7. HISPANIC – Won over 1200m last time at Dundalk (IRL) 26 days ago. Has won over 1000m last
year. Can be competitive
Summary : BERNEUIL (2) loves this track and is a previous winner of this race on two occasions,
in 2021/22. He is marginally preferred after a good second in a Listed race on his latest outing in
June over today’s trip. He seems ideally suited by the 1000m more so than COEUR DE PIERRE
(1) who may prefer slightly further to be at his very best. PONNTOS (3) scored last time over 1200m
and has form over today’s journey. HISPANIC (7) also needs careful consideration. He makes the
journey from the Aiden O’Brien operation and will be full of confidence after a win at Dundalk 26
days ago.

R4 – PRIX AQUARELLISTE – 3000m (a1 7/8m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. HALIMI – Well tried this year and did win a claimer in February but has only been modest of late
and others are preferred
2. LIBRE – Unreliable but has won two handicaps this year. Carries a 2,5kg penalty for last win and
is not out of it
3. RADIANT SKY – Has lost her way in three starts since winning. Could prefer this longer distance
but is best watched for now
4. TOM RED – Unreliable but does win every now and then. First time this far but has won at this
course. Might place
5. FEARLESS – All three of his wins have been at this course. Disappointing last run when seventh
but is capable of bouncing back to score
6. INNIS – Won three in a row in 2022. Has not been as good this year but has been fair of late and
coudl be ready to strike
7. SECOND TO NONE – A disappointement since winninga claimer on the PSF in February. Tries
a lot further and could surprise
8. SCHERWOOD – Disappointing last run and has struggled twice over this distance. Others are
much preferrred
9. FITZCARRALDO – Only win was in 2021. Clearly better over a shorter distance and was only
eight over this course and distance in his penultimate start. Not out of it in this line-up
10. DEEP SPACE – Improving and picked up first win last time out over 2400m. Carries a 2kg
penalty for that win but deserves respect and is not out of it
11. FUTURE – Has yet to win a race after 32 starts. Fair fourth over this distance in his penultimate
start and could be the surprise package of the race
12. VISIONARY DREAMER – Unreliable but did win his last race a handicap over 2400m. Carries
a 2kg penalty for that win. Is a course a course and distance winner and should be right there at
teh finish
Summary : A competitive race. Disappointing this year so far but could be ready to show his best
side. FITZCARRALDO (9) is clearly a lot better over a shorter distance but is coming off a good run
and deserves respect. VISIONARY DREAMER (12) is a course and distance winner and has a
winning chance in this line-up. LIBRE (2) is unreliable but also capable of winning when in the
mood.

R5 – QATAR CUP – PRIX DRAGON – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 100.000
1. RAJEH – Unplaced at Meydan over 2000m last time in late March over 2000m ( Gr.1). Might be
in need of this outing
2. JARIF – 4th last time at Ostende(BEL) over 1800m in a Group 3 race. Can not be ignored
3. RAGDAN – 4th last time at Deauville (Gr.1 AP) in early August over 2000m. Others seem more
likely
4. SAHAB – Highly tried in Group 1 races on the last three starts, the latter when 5th over 1600m
in early August. Can play a leading role
5. ELAF – 2nd last time over 2000m in late July in his last run in a Group 1 . In the mix
6. GHADAH – Good effort when 2nd at Doncaster last time in a Group 1 race over 2000m. Player
Summary : A good second last time at Doncaster in mid-August when finishing off her race strongly
GHADAH (6) can go one better in this. SAHAB (4) could be the biggest danger having been highly
tried in Group 1 races last time. This race is not as competitive. ELAF (5) was a good second
recently and ought to play a lead role at the business end of the race. JARIF (2) is another that
enters calculations on her best form.

R6 – QATAR PRIX FOY – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Group 2 – Group – Flat – EUR € 130.000
1. FENELON – Fair 4th last time in Grand Prix De Deauville (Gr.2) over 2500m in late August. Won
two Listed races before that. Player
2. SAMMARCO – Ran well when 4th in a Group 1 race in Hoppergarten last time over 2400m in
mid-August. Can be involved
3. IRESINE – Won over 2100m in the Prix Ganay (Gr.1) last time at this track in April. Will be nicely
prepared and hard to beat
4. PLACE DU CARROUSEL – Won a Group 3 last time over 2000m at Deauville in mid-August.
Won the Prix De L’Opera (Gr.1) last October. Leading chance
5. PLESANT JANE – Unplaced in a Group 1 last time, 3rd before that over 2000m at this track in
a Group 3 race. Has work to do to feature
Summary : The ultra-consistent IRESINE (3) scored in the Prix Ganay (Gr.1) last time in late April
at this track. He won this race in 2022 and has had a nice break and will be fit enough for this
assignment. His main rival is PLACE DU CARROUSEL (4) who tries the 2400m for the first time.
She won the Prix De L’Opera (Gr.1) last October at this track and scored nicely in a Group 3 last
time over 2000m. She normally relaxes which gives her every hope of staying and being
competitive. FENELON (1) is usually ridden with patience and if he manages to get some ‘cover’
in a small field he can have a say. SAMMARCO (2) also warrants respect.

1. ABSOLUTE POWER – Not disgraced when sixth in recent debut. This looks a tougher task but
he is capable of improving. Might place
2. WINELATO LAUJAC – Disappointing last two runs but is probably better this distance. Has a
place chance in this line-up
3. BEAU MAYSON – He did not show much on debut when ninth over 2400m last month. Capable
of improvement but others are preferred
4. MASSIMO – Not disgraced with some fair last two runs in Germany. This may be a bit stronger
but he coudl be capable of contesting the finish
5. QUIZMASTER – Well beaten on his debut in June. Capable of improvement but he is probably
best watched this time
6. SISTER JADE – Not disgraced when fifth on her debut. Could like this longer distance and is
clearly not out of it
7. ATTITUDE – Fit and has been consistent in three runs in July. She looks likely to fight out the
finish once again
8. SUPER STAR – Has reached fifteen starts now without winning but she was not disgraced when
runner-up last time out and can contest the finish
9. JOLI CORBEAU – Non Runner
10. ERIU – Not disgraced wehn sixth on debut in July. Drops in distance and can fight out the finish
with improvement expected
11. WALDSTEIN – A three-year-old colt by Manduro out of Windsbraut who is making his debut.
Watch the betting
12. SILVER BEAUTY – A three-year-old filly by Zarak out of Naseem Alyasmeen who is making
her debut. Watch the betting
13. TAMARISKE – A German trained three-year-old filly by Mastercraftsman out of Taraja who is
making her debut. Has a winning chance
Summary : ERIU (10) showed promise when sixth on debut and looks likely to prefer this distance.
She could be the one to beat with improvement expected. ATTITUDE (7) has run well in all three
starts so far and should be right there at the finish. TAMARISKE (13) makes her debut and could
be ready to strike. SUPER STAR (8) ran well when runner-up last time out and deserves some
respect.

1. WONNEMOND – 5th last time in a Class 1 handicap at Deauville three weeks ago over 1900m.
Best watched
2. KATOUCHA – 4th three runs back over 1600m at Lyon Parilly in late May in a Class 3 race.
Looks safely held
3. NEPALAIS – Two unplaced efforts of late won before that over 2000m in late June at Lyon Parilly.
Respect
4. VALIABAD – Three unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1900m in a Class 1 handicap in
August. Needs a few of these to falter
5. PRINCIPE – 8th of 16 last time on the PSF, a good 4th at this track before that over 1400m in
late June. Top three chance
6. LE NOMADE – Three unplaced runs in 2023, the latter over 1500m at Deauville two weeks ago.
Hard to fancy
7. EXCITING – 5th last time in a Class 2 handicap at Deauville over 1900m. Can be competitive
8. HIGHBARI – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 1800m at this track in early July in a Class
2 handicap. Not to be overlooked
9. MONEYMAN – Will be fitter for a recent 4th over 1600m in a Class 3 race at Vichy in mid-August.
Leading chance
10. AL KHAMSIN – Unplaced last time, won before that over 1600m at Deauville in early August in
a Class 2 handicap. Outside place chance
11. THE LAUREATE – Won two runs ago at Vichy in mid-July over 2000m in a Class 3 handicap.
Might find a few of these too good
12. GRAND BALCON – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1800m at Dieppe in a Class 2
handicap in late July. Vulnerable
13. BEVAN – Fair 4th in a Class 2 handicap last time over 2000m at Deauville in early August.
Among the top chances
14. WINTER’S LOVE – 3rd over 1600m at Deauville last time in mid-August. Lightly raced and has
more to come
15. SWISS BANK – Has been 3rd on the last three runs, the latter over 2000m at Deauville in early
August. Consider
16. PUMP PUMP JUNIOR – Fair 2nd last time over 1850m at Vichy in late August in a Class 3
handicap. Others rate higher
Summary : MONEYMAN (9) is the tentative selection in a very open handicap. He will strip a lot
fitter today after a credible run 26 days ago at Vichy. His biggest threat could be PRINCIPE (5) who
was midfield in a competitive handicap last time and a good second before that at this track over
1400m in June. WINTER’S LOVE (14) is lightly raced and should be included in all of the place bet
permutations. She faired well last time when third at Deauville in mid-August. BEVAN (13) is
another to be considered and ought to make the frame.

R9 – PRIX DE LA ZORN – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. SAGE DREAM – Not disgraced when fourth in a handicap last time out. Probably at best that
distance though but can contest the finish
2. SWEET MASTER – Ignore last run when seventh. That distance appears too sharp and he is a
course and distance winner. Can bounce back to score
3. LADYBUG – Her last run was on the turf over this distance last year but she has lost her way of
late. Might place
4. WINGS OF FIRE – More than a year since last win and has only been modest of late. Drops in
distance and could be the surprise package of the race
5. GOODNIGHT BABY – Not disgraced in her last two start but is returning from a lengthy break
and is on her handicap debut
6. ZILCOVER – Only win was in a claimer and he has struggled in soem handicaps. Showed
improvement when sixth last time out and could be ready to show his best side
7. JOYEUX MALPIC – Returned to form with a handicap win last time out. Carries a 1.5kg penalty
for that win but both wins have been on the PSF and he does prefer that surface
8. NICE PAULA – Last win was in a claimer last year. Only modest in three handicap runs this year
and needs to find a few lengths to win
9. KARYNIA – Unreliable this year and it has been more than a year since her last win. Ran well
when third last time out in a handicap and should do a lot better this time
10. MAGNETIQUE – Dis a bit better in his last two starts when sixth in both of them. Has won over
this track and trip and is not out of it
11. FILZMOOSERIN – Has yet to win a race and was well beaten last time out but had fair form
before that and could finish in the money
12. SILVER MAGIC – In fair form of late. Only win to date was at this course and he is capable of
contesting the finish
13. ARAMIS D’AZUR – His only win was in 2021. A bit of a disappointment when only sixth last
time out but does have a place chance
14. HACKLE SETTER – Mostly disappointing form since winning a handicap on the PSF in
February. Probably best watched this time
15. DORALICE – Has yet to win after 22 starts. Disappointing form of late and is probably best
watched this time
Summary : KARYNIA (9) ran well when third in a handicap and she could break a long losing run.
ZILCOVER (6) showed improvement when sixth last time out and coudl have more to offer in a
weak race. SWEET MASTER (2) is a course and distance winner that could be getting ready to
strike back. SAGE DREAM (1) may prefer a shorter distance but is also not out of it.

R10 – QATAR PRIX VERMEILLE – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Group 1 – Group – Flat – EUR € 600.000
1. MELO MELO – Won last time at Deauville in the Prix De Pomone (Gr.2 ) over 2500m in midAugust. Can not be overlooked
2. ABOVE THE CURVE – 3rd last time at Deauville over 2000m in the Prix Jean Romanet (Gr.1 )
21 days ago. Can not be discounted
3. SEA SILK ROAD – 5th in the Yorkshire Oaks (Gr.1 ) behind WARM HEART (6) over 2400m 17
days ago. Others rate higher
4. RUE BOISSONADE – Won Prix De Malleret (Gr.2) last time over 2400m at this track in July.
Progressive type and has a place chance
5. CROWN PRINCESSE – 4th last time in a Group 2 race at Ascot (GBR) in June over 2400m.
Ought to be thereabouts
6. WARM HEART – Won the Yorkshire Oaks (Gr.1) last time over 2400m 17 days ago at York
(GBR). Stays well and will be involved
7. PENSEE DU JOUR – 4th last time over 2000m at Deauville in a Group 2, that was 3 weeks ago.
Has work to do
8. BLUE ROSE CEN – 4th over 2000m at Goodwood (GBR) in the Nassau Stakes last time (Gr.1)
in early August. Won two Group 1 races prior to that effort in May and June, the latter in the Prix
De Diane by 4L. Hard to beat
Summary : BLUE ROSE CEN (8) might have won at Goodwood in the Nassau Stakes (Gr.1) last
time when finishing an unlucky fourth. She can make amends and has every chance of staying the
2400m journey today on her first try over this distance. WARM HEART (6) won the Yorkshire Oaks
(Gr.1) 17 days ago. She was never involved in a slowly run Irish Oaks (Gr.1) before her recent win.
She is getting better and looks like the main rival ahead of strong stayer MELO MELO (1) who
scored narrowly last time in a Group 2 (Prix De Pomone) at Deauville 22 days ago and can once
again have a say. CROWN PRINCESSE (5) makes up the shortlist.

1. SIM CARD – A bit unreliable of late on the PSF. Back on the turf and is distance suited and
should fight out the finish once again
2. REVENTADOR – Disappointing three runs since winning in April over this distance. Capable of
dong better and is not out of it
3. TAFSER – Modest last run when sixth on the turf last time out. Seems to prefer the PSF these
days and others are preferred
4. MR RIEM – Distance suited and picked up two handicap wins this year. May be anchored by the
penalties he received for those wins. Place chance
5. DISBELA – A bit of a disappointment when only sixth last time out. Fair form before that and
could run well on handicap debut
6. MDRACAFEU – Showed improvement when third in a handicap last time out and did pick up a
claimer win earlier this year. Capable of contesting the finish
7. LEXINGTON GOLD – Both wins were last year. Only modest in two recent runs on the PSF and
needs to do more to win this race
8. ANISTOU – Much improved of late and she has won two of her last three starts. Carries a 2.5kg
penalty for her latest win and can follow up
9. KANIFUSHI – On a very long losing run since only win. Well beaten in her last two starts and
others are preferred
10. SICILIA – Mostly modest form this year and she has been well beaten in last three handicap
runs. Others are preferred
11. SA SAL – Showed improvement when fourth last time out but she struggled in her five previous
handicap attempts. Best watched for now
12. JOLIENENE – On a long losing streak and she has been well beaten in her last two starts.
Distance suited and could play a minor role
13. EVERSTORM – Returned to his best with a good handicap win last time out. Carries a 2kg
penalty for that win but can follow up if in the same mood
14. SCORPIO – Picked up a claimer win in her penultimate start but she has been well beaten in
all three of her handicap attempts. Others are preferred
15. ANTRIM – Only win was in 2021. Fair fifth last time out and has been placed over this course
and distance. Might place
Summary : ANISTOU (8) is improving and picked up a 2.5kg penalty for her last win and that may
not be enough to stop her from winning again. EVERSTORM (13) carries a 2kg penalty for his
latest win and should be a threat again. SIM CARD (1) is back on the turf and can contest the finish.
DISBELA (5) is better than the recent sixth-place finish and could run well on handicap debut.

1. BRAVAIS – Consistent Frankel colt, winner of his first two starts before placing in three
consecutive Listed races. Not taken lightly
2. MARHABA YA SANAFI – Finished 3rd in the Prix du Jockey Club but failed to feature in the Prix
Jacques le Marois. Return to this trip will suit
3. GOLDENAS – Winner of the Italian Derby and has never finished worse than 2nd in five outings.
Not to be underestimated
4. FEED THE FLAME – Group I Grand Prix de Paris winner, undefeated in three starts at
ParisLongchamp. Sets the standard on form and will prove hard to beat
5. KING OF RECORDS – Showed promise and consistency last year and on his return but was
well beaten in his last outing. Needs to reaffirm
6. FANTASTIC MOON – Won the German Derby so has already proven himself over the classic
distance. Will have a role to play
7. WINTER PUDDING – Consistent sort with sound references. Made no impression at Group I
level but has wasn’t beaten far by FEED THE FLAME (1) in a course-and-distance Group I
8. GREENLAND – Consistent Ballydoyle colt with solid form references. Arrive in France with the
highest of ambitions
Summary : Pleasant winner of the Paris Grand Prix, on this Longchamp track where he is
undefeated in three outings, FEED THE FLAME (4) is a clear favorite. Let us oppose him
MARHABA YA SANAFI (2), back on a course with a turn and lengthened in distance, as well as
the winner of the German Derby FANTASTIC MOON (6). Watch out for GOLDENAS (3), winner of
the Italian Derby before finishing second against his elders in the Grand Prix of Milan.
