Yet to place in three efforts but can play a minor role
2. SACHA SUNRISE – Yet to win but was third last time out in a Conditions race at Deauville over
1900m on 20 December. Been on a break but showed ability last year. Can go close if ready
3. SUPER TIE BREAK – A runner-up in a Conditions race at this track over 2000m on 3
May.Performs well at this track and has Theo Bachelot in the saddle. Respect
4. KOVEL – A runner-up on debut in a Conditions race at La Teste-du-Buch over 1800m on 17
May. He was a little green then and should improve on that effort.

1800m on 17 May. Open to improve but others are preferred
6. COUPE D’EUROPE – Consistent and was third last time out in a Conditions race at
ParisLongchamp over 1800m on 5 May. She is consistent and should fight out the finish
7. VITUS BERING – A 3-year-old gelding by George Vancouver out of Très Froide who makes his
debut. Watch the betting as a guide
Summary: SACHA SUNRISE (2) acquitted himself well in good company as a two-year-old so it
could pay to follow his progress on his reappearance, especially against opposition of this ilk.
Consistent COUPE D’EUROPE (6) lines up in good form and physical condition with the aid of an
excellent position in the starting stalls. She ought to pose a threat along with debut runner-up
KOVEL (4). Of the remainder, SUPER TIE BREAK (3) appeals most.

1. TIFFANYLI – Was 9th in a Handicap at ParisLongchamp over 1300m on 9 May. Latest effort
was poor but has shown well at this track and can place at best
2. LOUIS DE LA KLAUSS – A winner in a Conditions race at Nimes over 1200m on 28 April. He
will appreciate the distance and has Marina Brunelli on the irons. Can make the frame
3. HOUBI – Won a Handicap last time out at Fontainebleau over 1200m on 3 May. She is a strong
front-runner and can lead all the way.
4. PRETTY BERRY – Was 8th in a Handicap at Marseille-Vivaux over 1500m on 12 April. Drawn
well and was a runner-up at this track in February. Not out of it
5. SOVEREIGN – Was 5th in a Conditions race at Cavaillon over 1600m on 4 May. She might

recent efforts and must show more

preferred in this line-up

the latest over this distance and can play a minor role
Summary: BAYLINER (7) caught the eye with an improved/encouraging 2nd at this venue and
need only confirm that progress to fight for victory, despite his tricky awkward position in the
starting stalls. Speedy last-start winner HOUBI (3) could play another leading role under a
penalty, while PRETTY BERRY (4) ought to redeem herself with the blinkers removed after
overracing with the headgear fitted last time. LOUIS DE LA KLAUSS (2) opened his account in a
maiden recently and can continue his momentum.

whispered for the first time at the track and can be involved in the finish
10. SHOPTILYOUDROP – Third in a Claimer at Saint-Cloud over 1300m on 14 May. Others are
preferred in this line-up
Summary: SMILE FOR ME (3) caught the eye on debut when running on well to finish 3rd
behind AMERICADREAM (7), who had the benefit of an introductory outing, so is good value to
turn the tables with improvement expected. ANACONDA (1) probably wasn’t suited to the sticky
ground first-up but still ran a race full of merit, so could also fight for victory with that run under his
belt. REINE DU CIEL (9) didn’t go unnoticed on debut in a coveted race and is another likely to
improve with the benefit of that experience.

Handicap at Chantilly over 1600m on 2 May. Could improve back on the grass
3. BAKHCHISARAY – Finished 8th in a Claimer at Chantilly over 1900m on 7 May. Benefits from

4. MORPHEWAN – In good form and was third in a Handicap at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over
1900m on 22 April. Should fight out the finish once again
5. LEPARD – In good form of late and was a winner of a Handicap last time out at Salon-deProvence over 1800m on 3 April. Carries a 3,50kg penalty for that win. Place chance

Fium’Orbo over 1800m on 12 May. More is needed to beat these rivals
Summary: BAKHCHISARAY (3) has tumbled in the weights/ratings to a competitive mark and
has already established himself on this proposed route, so could be hard to beat under these
conditions. Stablemates MORPHEWAN (4) and THUNDERSPEED (6), as well as the selection’s
stable companion ROYAL RIGHT (9), are those best equipped to pose a threat. CORTEZ BANK
(7), and ROCQUEMONT (1) are competitive for a spot on the podium too.

winning a race (handicap) of this ilk. Veterans AMIATA (8) and DREAM OF EMERAUDE (1) have
the means to challenge, while ALROMY (2) need only repeat the performance of her last start
(4th) against stronger opposition to play a leading role too.

May. In good form but has to deal with a wide draw. Deserves respect

11. MOUTRAKI – Was 7th in a Claimerlast time out at Salon-de-Provence over 1800m on 20
May. The last win was at this track and can bounce back to be a threat
Summary: IPHITOS (10) returned to form with an improved/encouraging 3rd last time and boats
sound references over the marathon distance, so he gets the nod ahead of DRAGON LOVE (8)
who was rewarded for his consistency with a last-start success and ought to remain competitive.
MISS ROAZHON (9) and DOCTEUR TOURNESOL (2) are closely matched on the form of a
recent meeting and also have legitimate claims.

Poor last three efforts and will need to do more to win
7. LIGHTS COME ON – Holding form well and was fourth last time out in a Handicap at LyonParilly over 2400m on 8 May. If she is not to far off them turning for home shs can go close again
8. LA HAUTE ISLE – Disappointing form of late and was 6th in a Handicap at Lyon-Parilly over

year. He showed his form and well-being in a conditions race recently and, on that evidence,
could be worth siding with here. LIGHTS COME ON (7) deserves to have his consistency
rewarded and isn’t capable of gaining compensation in this wide-open handicap. KINGORI (2), in
his bid to complete a hat-trick, and in-form VILLA ROYALE (4) have legitimate ambitions too.

BLEU (5) and DAMASK BLADE (2) have maintained their form/consistency recently and have the
means to join that fight.

on 24 April. Others are preferred in this line-up
Summary: Returning KIZMAMBO (10) seems likely to go well on his reappearance with Mickaël
Barzalona engaged. Jérôme Reynier’s runners CALIFANO (3) and MAMAMOUCHI (7) form a
competitive stable coupling and should give cheek to the selection. COUR DU ROI (5) returns to
the scene of his most recent success and is reunited with the rider who steered him to victory that
day, so shouldn;t be underestimated.
