1. AQUILA VOLANTE – Ran a fair race in a Listed event most recently, but was a winner before
that over 1400m at Nantes. Include in all bets, big runner
2. RETORT – Took a few runs to get it all right last time over 1700m at Pornichet. Not without hope,
but others much preferred. Outsider that can be ignored for now
3. BOLIDE PORTO – Placed second at this course over 1600m last time and must be taken very
seriously. Big runner
4. PRINCE A RIO – Clearly a nice type, won a solid race over 1800m at this track last time and has
a lively chance of following up. Strong each way chance
5. INDIE BRIGHT – Non partante
6. ALABAMA MOON – Is showing some ability and promise, finished fourth over 1600m last time.
Strong place and quartet chance
Summary : INDIE BRIGHT (5) is a filly that already has a huge rating. Her form thus far is good
and in particular her last massive performance in a Listed race. She rates tough to oppose. PRINCE
A RIO (4) caught the attention when winning cozily last time and has a bright chance of following
up. AQUILA VOLANTE (1) has already won twice. He clearly has ability and is one for the shortlist.
BOLIDE PORTO (3) is a must for the quartet.
SELECTIONS
PRINCE A RIO (4) – AQUILA VOLANTE (1) – BOLIDE PORTO (3) – ALABAMA MOON (6)
R2 – PRIX D’EWELL – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – ALL WEATHER – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. BANDASTAR – Taking time, placed flourth over 2150m at Lyon La Soie most recently. Strong
each way claims
2. AL QADAM – Lightly raced, can build on recent sixth at Vichy over 2000m. Meets a weak field
and has strong each way claims
3. SWEET LULLABY – Lightly raced, expect improvement on latest 10th over 2100m at Pornichet.
Hard to assess but can place against these. Include
4. CHICAGO – Has only feartured once in six atempts and has a lot to find to threaten. Might be
able to imporove but others preferred. Happy to ignore
5. REDRUNNER – Finished third over 2400m at Divonne three starts back but has been on the
decline since. An outsider that has a lot to find for the win. Pass by
6. TREVOR SENORA – Ignore last run in a Handicap, finished eighth before that over 2000m at
Saint-Cloud. BIg runner
7. ADHAMIY – Can build on latest fifth placing at Bordeaux Le Bouscat over 3000m. A must for the
play, place chance. Good chance
8. NUIT FAUVE – Never too far adrift the winners and can go very close against these. Big runner
that must be respected and included in all bets
9. EVER READY – Finished sixth at Lyon La Soie over 1800m last time and might be able to build
on that. Others preferred
10. UP TO THE MOON – Lowly rated, is badly off form curently and would be a shock winner as a
result of that. Happy to ignore
11. URAL – Taking a long time to feature and current form is on the decline. Needs serious
improvement to feature and is hard to fancy. Ignore
12. PALETUVIER – Taking forever to receord next career victory and cannot be fancied on form.
Happy to ignore
13. GOT FOX – Has absolutely no current form to reccomend and would be a surprise winner. Will
be an outsider that can be ignored from all bets
14. SOIZIYA – Would be a surprise winner based on current declining form. Happy to wait for
improvement. Pass by
15. LA SWISS – Only placed three times from many attempts, finished sixth over 2000m at SaintCloud last time and needs serious improvement on that to threaten. Pass by
16. PENNYWELL – Cannot be selected on current form and would be a shock result. An outsider
that can be ignord from all bets
Summary : AL QADAM (2) gets Maxime Guyon behind the mane. This horse has run three times
and has finished just off the winners. He can get much closer now and is the first choice. TREVOR
SENORA (6) is yet to feature in five starts thus far but meets a weak field and can place for the first
time in his career. BANDASTAR (1) is taking forever to win the maiden but should do so soon.
NUIT FAUVE (8) is lightly raced and never far off the action. She can make her presence felt.
SELECTIONS
AL QADAM (2) – TREVOR SENORA (6) – BANDASTAR (1) – NUIT FAUVE (8)
R3 – PRIX DE LA PISTE SEA BIRD – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – ALL WEATHER – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 28.000
1. PONTY – Placed third over 1900m at Deauville last time and has attractive overall form. One for
the shortlist. Good chance
2. ATAKAMA – Highly rated and has competed well in Listed races and should go very close to
winning. Strong each way claims
3. MISSOURI – Has won last three starts, but against much weaker. In saying that, last win at Nancy
over 1400m was solid. Hard to assess. Could be worth including in the play
4. BLUFF – Was a winner over 1700m in October and has a chance of following up. Respect and
include in all bets
5. CANNJAYAR – Will need to build on latest eighth over 2400m at Lyon Parilly. Happy to ignore
6. CTE D’ESCARBAGNAS – Has raced against some strong opposition and can feature in the
finish. Expect a huge run. Good chance
7. BAUHINIA RHAPSODY – Doing fairly well locally, won well over 1900m at Deauville last time
and could be anything here in France. Do not completely ignore. Outsider with a say
8. LADY FRASQUITA – Recent form has been on the decline and would be a surprise victor based
on that. Is an outssider that could lurk into the back end of the quartet but others preferred
9. ECLAIREE – Lightly raced, won on debut over 2000m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer and has been doing
fairly well since. Hard to assess but can never be ignored. Chance
10. PRECIOUS SEA – Ignore latest tenth at Deauville, ran a cracker at penultimate placing second
over 2000m at Deauville. Rates the one to be with. Win choice
Summary : PRECIOUS SEA (10) can be forgiven for her last start and is best judged on her
attractive overall form. She is tipped to bounce right back to winning ways. ATAKAMA (2) takes a
considerable drop in class after competing in a lot of Listed races. She should be dangerous at the
finish and can go very close. Big chance. PONTY (1) is running well and also competed in Listed
company before. One for the shortlsit and a must for all bets. CTE D’ESCARBAGNAS (6) has more
of a place chance than a winning one.

PRECIOUS SEA (10) – ATAKAMA (2) – PONTY (1) – CTE D’ESCARBAGNAS (6)
R4 – PRIX DE WATERMAEL-BOITSFORT – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – ALL WEATHER – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. CUSTARD TARTE – Lightly raced, can build on latest sixth over 1900m at Deauville. Big runner
that can go close. Respect and include
2. IANOVKA – Current form has been on the decline but has shown some capabilities before. Wait
for improvement, until then, happy to ignore
3. CALA MOLI – Placed fourth at Deauville over 1900m last time and is one for the shortlsit. Good
chance
4. EURYTHMICAL – Ignore last run, placed third over 2000m at Durtal before that. Small place
chance but others preferred
5. MALLORCA SUN – Placed fifth at Saint-Cloud over 1500m last time and can be expected to go
very close this time. Win choice
6. GOLD CURTAIN – She seems to be battling currently and needs serious imporovement before
being considered. Pass by
7. BLACK HILLS – Has absolutely no form to recommend and would be a surprise winner. Happy
to ignore
8. ADWAN – Cannot be fancied on current form and would be a surprise winner. Happy to ignore
9. LA VIE EN ROSE – Has shown very little in all three starts and based on that would be a shock
winner. Ignore
10. NAIADE – Has run five times and shown very little thus far. Needs serious improvement to
feature. Happy to ignore from all bets
11. LIDISBARN – Has been running well recently and can go close. Last run placed fifth over
2150m. Serious contender
12. EMERALD LAKE – Finished second four starts back over 2000m at Compiegne but has been
on the decline since. Hard to assess and hard to fancy
13. PORTRERO – Is taking time to win again but latest run in third over 2000m at Saint-Cloud
suggests next victory is near. BIg runner
14. MYRIADE – Include in larger quartet perms at very best. Other should be much the stronger.
Outside place chance
15. PRINCE MARIO – Lightly raced and might still have a lot more to offer. Respect and include for
the quartet as the value choice
16. KOULIKOFF – Was an attractive winner at penultimate start over 1800m at this course. Strong
each way chance
Summary : MALLORCA SUN (5) is taking time to win but is consistent and should get it all right
soon. CUSTARD TARTE (1) is lightly raced and has not been too far off the action. She can go
very close to winning and is the value suggestion. CALA MOLI (3) has useful form and should be
in the first three. PORTRERO (13) showed last time that another huge performance can be
expected. Big chance.

R5 – PRIX KANDY – 1400m (a7f) – ALL WEATHER – Condition Race Qualifier – Flat – EUR € 23.000
1. RANCON ROYALE – Recent efforts don’t jump off the page but the ability is there and he gets
valuable weight off the back. Place chance
2. J’ACCLAME – Finished 5th over 1400m last time out and was far from disgraced. She seems to
be in a fairly good space at present which bodes well for her. Should be involved
3. RAKAN – Showed courage last time out when winning over 1400m and he is capable of
producing similar. Winning claims
4. WOFF – Finished right on top off them when back in 6th position and despite him not particularly
firing, his rating is attractive. Include in the play
5. THE CHARM – No show in recent performances from this gelding who looks to be battling to find
form. Others inspire more confidence
6. TAWHIRI – Finished 7th over 1200m last time out and could have offer to offer now back up in
trip. Outside place chance
7. RESTLESS SPIRIT – Jumps from the best of draws but will need to improve on current form to
land a blow. Others preferred
8. MOWAEVA – Inconsistent type that hasn’t been doing much to keep followers interested and
needs to start shaping up. Unlikely type
9. J’AURAIS DU – Finished 7th last time out but was far from disgraced and could be one to outrun
his odds. Outside place chance
10. QUINDIANO – He has only had three starts since 2021 which would indicate that there have
been problems and he needs to do more. Easy to look elsewhere
11. JACK O’BOY – Ran 2nd at his last start but was beaten 7L and will need to show more if he is
to be a threat here. One to pass by
12. KILFRUSH MEMORIES – It has been a while since this gelding put his best foot forward and it
doesn’t seem likely to happen here. Would be a surprise winner
13. HEYTESBURY LANE – Has bits and pieces of form which could help her run into the money
as well as a nice rating drop. Place chance
Summary : RAKAN (3) bounced back to winning ways last time out and with his confidence up,
there is every possibility that he can follow up. J’ACCLAME (2) won a couple in a row before posting
two fair efforts and she should put up a bold display. WOFF (4) has dropped to a competitive mark
and should be there or thereabouts. HEYTESBURY LANE (13) can find a minor spot.

RAKAN (3) – J’ACCLAME (2) – WOFF (4) – HEYTESBURY LANE (13)
R6 – PRIX DE L’ALLEE SANS SOUCI – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – ALL WEATHER – Class – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. CLASSA – Relocates with international form and it certainly doesn’t seem good enough to give
her much of a chance here. Others make more appeal
2. CAP FRANCAIS – Finished last of seven in his debut run here and with that run out the way, he
could show a bit of improvement. Others make more appeal
3. PLAIN BEAU – Winner three starts back over 2200m and if able to reproduce that effort again
then he could be a threat. Place chance
4. SOLIMAN – Inconsistent type that ran a solid 3rd at his most recent outing but will need to confirm
that effort. Outside place claims
5. KINGORI – Debuts in France on the back of what turned out to be a rather disappointing England
career where he won his first two and failed to fire after that. Place chance at best
6. DANTES – Not the most consistent sort around but has put in some good runs which could see
him challenging. Include in the play
7. SAINT HELLIER – Finished 7th in a Listed race last time out which was clearly out of his reach
and back in calmer waters will suit. Should be there at the finish
8. TOLLEVAST – Tried 2400m for the first time in Listed company and was outclassed. Down in
trip and class will make a huge difference. Winning claims
9. ROYAUMONT – Winner three starts back over track/trip in similar conditions and it wouldn’t be
a surprise if he were to outrun his odds. Potential lurker
10. WELCOME TANGO – No show in his only two starts to date and huge improvement is required
if he is to pose a threat to these opponents. Would be a shock winner
11. CHOUAIN – Returns off a long layoff and could need a few runs to tighten up before showing
something positive. Others preferred
12. WITHERING – Four starts in France without producing anything encouraging but takes a drop
in class which could make a huge difference. Each way chance
Summary : WITHERING (12) has the ability but he just hasn’t been able to fire on all cylinders in
recent starts and could start showing more. SAINT HELLIER (7) should appreciate the drop in
Grade and will be right there at the finish. TOLLEVAST (8) was not at home last time out and should
be ultra competitive in this. DANTES (6) could be a threat on some of his best form.

R7 – PRIX DU CARREFOUR DES MARCHANDS DE NAVET – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – ALL WEATHER – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. RULE THE SURF – Finished a well beaten 3rd at her most recent performance and she will need
to show more on that to get involved. Outside place chance
2. CLIFFS OF MOHER – Ran a pleasing 3rd at his most recent outing and is coming along the right
way with racing. Solid winning claims
3. SALMA – Finished 5th last time out over 1900m and she wasn’t far behind the reopposing Cliffs
Of Moher which will see her in with a shout. Include in all bets
4. LA STRANEZZA – Remains a maiden after six moderate efforts and she will need to show a
better version of herself in order to be a threat. Hard to fancy
5. ZVIKOVA – Finished 8th last time out over 1800m and takes a slight step up in trip which could
suit and there should be improvement to come. Each way chance
6. SOGNIAMO – No show in recent efforts which doesn’t bode well for her in a field that has form
runners. One to pass by
7. GANASS – This colt has been super consistent having had eight career starts for eight places
and he is knocking on the door. Winning chance
8. CITY SKY – Won a gutsy race last time out in a Claimer but will find life tougher in this event.
Capable of outrunning odds if up to the task
9. LEGACY LINK – This gelding has had three starts to date and he hasn’t done much to suggest
that he could be capable of challenging just yet. Others make more appeal
10. DAY TRADER – He has improved position wise with each run under his belt but he will need to
continue doing so in order to trouble the judge. More needed to feature
11. NICASTRO – Represents uninspiring form and would need to show a huge turnaround in order
to be competitive. Would be a surprise winner
12. LEPANTO – Three starts to date which haven’t been much of an indicator about him and it is
hard to see him being up there. Would be a surprise winner
Summary : GANASS (7) is down in class on his last performance and should find these conditions
a lot more to his liking. ZVIKOVA (5) has scope for improvement and could show more with further
racing experience. CLIFFS OF MOHER (2) enjoyed the step up in trip last time out and should be
a leading contender here. SALMA (3) has more to come and will be right on top of them.

R8 – PRIX D’UBERLINGEN – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – ALL WEATHER – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 21.000
1. SCAT LADY – Not firing currently and drops in trip which doesn’t seem favorable given that her
best form is over further. Hard to recommend
2. AL ALAALI – Finished last of nine last time out but is clearly better than that piece of form and
warrants an inclusion. One for the minor spot
3. NOVE SU NOVE – Ran a fair 2nd in his penultimate start and if able to reproduce that here then
he could offer something. Outside place chance
4. TILAK – This filly turned it on last time out when winning and with the apprentice engaged once
again, she looks a chance. Definite inclusion
5. ST PANTALEON – Ran a cracker over track/trip last time out and with Maxime Guyon sticking
with the ride, it is very encouraging. Go close to winning
6. DORIANELLO – Arrives in rather moderate form and it is hard to see how he could be able to
produce anything positive. Easy to pass by
7. VIVAIBERICA – Finished 9th over 1600m which was on the sharp side and despite going 300m
more, it could still be short. Others make more appeal
8. DANSEUSE CELEBRE – Finished 6th last time out over 2200m but will need to produce more
in order to be competitive. Not a likely type
9. KUMRAN – Returned off a long layoff to win but drops in trip which may not be ideal and the
second run after a rest could be a question mark. Others preferred
10. LIMERICK BOUND – Three starts in France which have been quite reasonable and there is a
chance that he could outrun his odds. Worth a each way tickle
11. MRS RHAPSODY – Finished 3rd over track/trip last time out just under a length behind the
reopposing St Pantaleon and if she can confirm that then she will be a threat. Upset potential
12. HOLLY COLOUR – Only win to date came over track/trip earlier in the year but his form since
that has been average. Not worth much consideration
13. GRAND KISS – Remains a maiden after fourteen starts but hasn’t been beaten far in her last
two. Worthy of a place inclusion
14. ZELZEFYR – Remains a maiden after ten career outings and isn’t doing much at present to
keep followers interested. Hard to fancy
15. KOBRA PEPPER – This gelding is erratic and hard to assess on the form that he has shown to
date. Unlikely winner
16. SEA URCHIN – Disappointing at latest start when finishing 9th where more was expected.
Worth one more chance in this contest. Include in the play
17. RECOLEROS – It took him sixteen starts to break his maiden but now that he has done it, he
could be worth following with his confidence up. Each way player
Summary : SEA URCHIN (16) ran below expectations at his last start when returning to France
and could make amends over a more suitable trip. ST PANTALEON (5) bounced back to form and
could make his presence felt in a big way. TILAK (4) showed massive improvement when winning
last time out and could confirm. RECOLEROS (17) had solid form prior to his win which was only
deserving and is capable of mounting a challenge again.
