1. HAYEJOHN – Held in 11th spot over 1200m at Chantilly in a Class 2 divided handicap on the
7th of May 2024. More to do here
2. TIMES BOULEVARD – No show in 13th position over 1400m at Parislongchamp in a Class 2
divided handicap on the 28th of April 2024. Can show more in this grade
3. CALIFANO – Ran a cracker in 3rd spot over 1200m at Marseille Borely in a Class 3 divided
handicap on the 24th of April 2024. Should fight it out
4. ACCLAM – Not seen to best effect in 9th position over 1200m at Marseille Borely in a Class 3
divided handicap on the 24th of April 2024. Can bounce back to challenge
5. LIGHT WAKEUP – No show in 9th position over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 course
qualifier on the 6th of May 2024. Would be a surprise winner
6. MONSIEURVALCHOP – Finished 4th behind a few reopposing rivals over 1200m at Marseille
Borely in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 24th of April 2024. Place chance
7. COUR DU ROI – Winner over 1200m at Marseille Borely in a Class 3 divided handicap on the
24th of April 2024. Can follow up despite being held at the weights
8. IVORY SPRING – Comfortably held in 11th position over 1300m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a Class
3 divided handicap on the 25th of February 2024. Others make more appeal
9. MAMAMOUCHI – Runner up over 1200m at Marseille Borely in a Class 3 divided handicap on
the 24th of April 2024. Should go close
10. CENTENARIO – Weak effort in 14th spot over 1200m at Chantilly in a Class 2 divided handicap
on the 16th of September 2023. Unlikely to pose a threat
11. KADIYAC – Finished 6th over 1200m at Marseille Borely in a Class 3 divided handicap on the
24th of April 2024. Outside place chance
12. HOLLY HAPPY – Finished 2nd over 1200m when last seen in The Czech Republic on the 21st
of April 2024. One to pass by
13. SYMBOLE – Moderate effort in 6th position over 1200m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 4 course
qualifier on the 8th of May 2024. One to pass by
Summary: MAMAMOUCHI (9) just failed last time out and this filly could get it right now stepping
up in trip. Mikael Barzalona takes the ride, which is a huge positive. CALIFANO (3) finished just
behind a couple of reopposing sorts but gets a slight pull at the weights which could make things
very interesting. ACCLAM (4) is better than his last and is the type to bounce back so needs to be
included in the play. COUR DU ROI (7) beat his aforementioned rivals last time out but doesn’t
come in well at the weights, despite that he should have every opportunity to follow up.

MAMAMOUCHI (9) – CALIFANO (3) – ACCLAM (4) – COUR DU ROI (7)
R2 – PRIX DES POULAINS – 2200m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 1 Race – Flat – EUR € 30,000
1. TALISE – Top run in 3rd over 2400m at Parislongchamp in a Listed event on the 28th of April
2024. Strong winning chance
2. MAGIC MIKE – Winner on debut over 1400m in Greece on the 22nd of January 2024. Makes
local debut and more is needed
3. DARING PRINCE – Finished 4th over 2150m at Parislongchamp in a Class 1 race on the 25th
of April 2024. Should play a big role
4. CEDRUS – Winner over 2200m at Lyon Parilly in a maiden contest on the 17th of April 2024.
Place claims at best
5. PARADISE STORM – Runner up over 2400m at La Teste in a Class 1 contest on the 25th of
April 2024. Others make more appeal
6. ROADSHOW – Finished 4th over 2400m at Parislongchamp in a Listed event on the 28th of April
2024. Place chance
Summary: TALISE (1) ran in a strong race last time out and a repeat of that performance should
see this colt winning with a smooth run in transit. DARING PRINCE (3) brings solid form to the
table and shouldn’t be dismissed lightly as he can throw his weight around. ROADSHOW (6)
finished behind the reopposing Talise and shouldn’t be able to reverse the form so looks a place
hope. CEDRUS (4) has plenty off scope for improvement and can pose a threat.

28th of April 2024. Can produce a better effort
4. LE COMBAT CONTINUE – Comfortable winner over track/trip in a maiden on the 17th of April
2024. Can follow up
5. LADY KYRA – Dead-heated to win on debut over 2300m at Le Mans in a maiden on the 23rd of
April 2024. Should have more to offer
Summary: LE COMBAT CONTINUE (4) hit all the right notes to win last time out and with that
effort under the belt he could easily follow up. MORNING AIR (2) will be suited by the step up in
trip and could get a blow in. LADY KYRA (5) is one from one and can only progress from her debut
performance so is one that needs to be respected. BELSIANA (3) was outclassed last and can run
a much improved race.

3 on the 28th of April 2024. One to pass by
7. MONONOF – Runner up over track/trip in a Class 2 on the 17th of March 2024. He will have his
work cut out to feature
Summary: IRESINE (1) is the class package here having taken on far stronger and winning at
Group one level. He certainly won’t be fully tuned up for this but he should still be too good for this
lot. MONT DE SOLEIL (2) has only had two starts to date and he’s done all that one can do so he
looks to be the main rival. VERT LIBERTE (4) is yet to win in France from eleven attempts so
should earn again. MIKA D’O (3) is best of the rest and could place at best.

of April 2024. Leading contender
5. LEJENDARIO – Not at best when well held in 11th position over track/trip in a Class 4 divided
limited handicap on the 27th of April 2024. Can bounce back to earn

qualifier on the 27th of April 2024. Outside place chance
14. FUNTANO – Just found one too good over track/trip in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on
the 27th of April 2024. Must inclusion
Summary: DENIA (4) arrives in steady form and is looking to get her head in front after a string of
placings and with top rider Mikael Barzalona in the irons, she should go well. AGOUREIL (2) is
running well and should produce another solid effort. LEJENDARIO (5) hasn’t been the most
consistent of late but on previous form, he can run a bold race. HIGHEST MOUNTAIN (10) gets
the services of Maxime Guyon who could just be the man to get this horse back on the right track.

should get all the favors and is the one to beat. UNION SQUARE (9) has been running well lately
and should be right up there at the finish. PUMPY GIRL (2) showed up positively last time out and
should be on the premises once again with some luck in running. FOLLOW YOU (7) is consistent
and with a weight advantage, he should go close.

Summary: LEPSA (3) is now having her peak run and should be cherry ripe to strike in this contest
over a suitable trip. GLORY WOOD (5) won over slightly further last time out but shouldn’t be
inconvenienced by the drop in trip which should see him go close. QUEEN LIZZIE (6) steps back
up in trip and she should be right on top of them at the finish. TREIZE (1) gets weight off the back
and can earn a cheque.

a moderate line up. MOULIN BLANC (2) was a winner two starts back and followed that up with a
solid effort which bodes well for his chances here. L’HORLOGE (6) found one better at her latest
outing and should run very well with a low mass. LIBRE SAONOIS (5) looks like the type that can
