Race Preview
R1 – PRIX DE L’ATELIER – 2800m (a2m) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 15,000
1. FLIGHT DE JUILLEY – Produced a fair effort in 4th position over 3000m at Lion D’ angers in a
Class 4 divided limited handicap on the 23rd of May 2024. Could run into the money
2. LA PALOMBIERE – Finished 2nd over 2300m in a Class 4 divided limited handicap at
Parislongchamp on the 4th of May 2024. Big player
3. TENDER WINNER – Not seen to best effect in 12th spot over 2400m at Vichy in a Class 4 divided
limited handicap on the 15th of May 2024. Include in the play
4. MY DARLING – Finished 9th over 2650m at Chateaubriant in a Class 4 divided limited handicap
on the 12th of May 2024. Placed chance
5. UM ELNADIM – Far from disgraced in 3rd spot over 2650m at Chateaubriant in a class 4 divided
limited handicap on the 12th of May 2024. Should go close
6. SEMEUR – Finished 8th over 3000m at Parislongchamp in a class 3 divided limited handicap on
the 16th of May 2024. Capable in this class
7. RUE DAUPHINE – Finished 7th over 2100m at Parislongchamp in a Class 4 divided handicap
on the 26th of May 2024. Others preferred
8. TERRITORIO – Finished 6th over 2400m at Toulouse in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on
the 28th of May 2024. Place claims
9. PRETTY WARRIOR – No show in 8th spot over 2600m at Marseille barely in a Class 4 divided
limited handicap on the 27th of May 2024. Others make more appeal
10. BAILEYS SANS DOUTE – Poor effort in 14th position over track/trip in a Class 3 divided
handicap on the 28th of April 2024. Hard to fancy
11. LEE DRAGON – Finished 5th over 2650m at Chateaubriant in a Class 4 divided limited
handicap on the 12th of May 2024. Outside place chance
12. VINGTCOEURS – Well held in 10th position over 2000m at Compiegne in a Class 4 divided
limited handicap on the 16th of April 2024. Easy to pass by
13. VICTIM OF LOVE – Finished 7th over 2600m at Chatillion in a Class 4 course qualifier on the
1st of May 2024. One to pass by
14. SOTCHI – Weak performance in 14th position over 1950m at Le Mans in a Class 4 divided
handicap on the 15th of May 2024. Would be a surprise winner
Summary: LA PALOMBIERE (2) ran an absolute cracker last time when 2nd over 2300m at Angers
and is confidently selected to go one more and win. UM ELNADIM (5) placed 3rd over 2650m in a
Handicap at Chateaubriant and has a strong place chance again. TENDER WINNER (3) can be
forgiven for his last run and judged on earlier form which is solid. He is a big runner. MY DARLING
(4) is the place value for the quartet.

R2 – PRIX DU VIEUX COLOMBIER – 2800m (a2m) – TURF – Class 3 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 22,000
1. SHANGHAI SPIRIT – Has won the last two races impressively and can follow up. Strong chance
of reeling off the hat trick. Can win
2. LOCAL WHISKY – Will need to improve on current form, finished 10th over 1800m at Chantilly
last time. Prefer others
3. MYDAVI – Won three races back in Belgium but since then, locally has not shone. Happy to wait
for improvement
4. SITJAR – Lightly raced, progressive, finished 3rd last time at Le Mans and has a bright chance.
Respect and include
5. BARBADIN – Holding form, placed 2nd at this track on the 16th of May in a Handicap and must
be taken seriously. Can score
6. SOGYNT – Comes into the race fresh off a victory at Saint-Cloud over 2400m and can win again.
Must for all bets
7. ALKUIN – Can progress on latest 5th over 3000m at this course last month. Big chance
8. STEP MORNING – Finished 2nd over 2650m at Chateaubriant mid last month and can go one
better. Strong win chance
9. SINGEL MALT – Current form leaves a lot to be desire and cannot be fancied. Has not shone
for a while and can be ignored from all bets
10. MONTE CINTO – Attractive 3rd over 2650m last time and can feature in the finish again. Strong
place chance
11. JEWEL DE CERISY – Fair 4th over 3000m in a Handicap at this course on the 16th of May and
could be worth including in the quartet. Place chance
12. BLUE STYLE – Hard to make a case for on current form and would be a shock winner. Pass
by
13. GRAZANO – Unlikely winner based on latest 10th finish in a Handicap at this track on the 16th
of May. Pass by
14. JOSHUA’S SPIRIT – Finished 7th over 2400m at Toulouse on the 28th of May and needs to
serve up plenty more than that to feature here. No
15. ESPOIR DE LA MONE – Finished 2nd over 2500m at Nort-Sur-Erdre on the 20th of May. This
is way stronger but could earn. Small place chance
Summary: STEP MORNING (8) brings solid form into the race and based on that could be tough
to oppose. ALKUIN (7) is always there and thereabouts and can get closer than he did last time at
this track. Strong claims. BARBADIN (5) has a strong place chance and SOGYNT (6) won last time
over 2400m and can follow up. Bright chance.

R3 – PRIX DES MATHURINS – 2800m (a2m) – TURF – Class 3 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20,000
1. LADY STRAIGHT – Attractive 3rd over 3000m in a Handicap last time and is one for the shortlist.
Each way
2. THAT’S MY POWER – Placed 5th over 3000m last time out and has a Hughe chance of finishing
in the first four. Quartet must
3. TARCENAY – Danced many dances this horse and won many races but is currently off form and
hard to select. Pass by
4. DREAM AGAIN – Earlier form is fair but recent 13th at this track over 2100m in a Handicap is a
worry. No
5. FRENCH DIVA – Caught the eye when 2nd over 3200m at Nort-Sur-Erdre on the 2nd of June
and can go one more. Strong chance
6. ARMORIGENE – Running well, placed 3rd last time out and should be right there again. Strong
place chance
7. MAESTRO CHOP – Current form over various distances has been on the decline and others are
selected for the win
8. LEANDER – Solid form, finished 2nd over 3000m at this course in Handicap class on the 16th of
last month. Bright win
9. CASHFORPASSOVER – Much better 4th last time over 3000m at this track on the 16th of May
in a Handicap and has a strong chance
10. GALWAY CITY – Needs to do way more than recent 6th at Cavaillon over 2900m. Pass by
11. CHONBURI – Looking at latest form, would be a shock winner. Finished 13th last time and 10th
before that. Unlikely
12. ANONYME – Raced at Fontainebleau on the 13th of April in a Handicap and finished 4th. Expect
another honest effort. Chance
13. ALMAZORA – Finished 6th over 3000m at Parislongchamp on the 16th of last month in a
Handicap and needs more to feature
14. CHARLES LEGEND – Ignore last run, placed 4th over 2100m at this venue before that. Outside
quartet chance at best
15. MONJARAZ – Only a one time winner, taking time to win again and is hard to fancy on current
form. Ignore
Summary: LEANDER (8) brings solid and consistent form into the race and caught the eye when
second at this venue last time. Strong win chance. CASHFORPASSOVER (9) is a four time winner,
ran a much better race last time and has to be taken seriously. Bright chance. FRENCH DIVA (5)
bounced back to near best recently when second over 3200m and should go close. THAT’S MY
POWER (2) is never far adrift the winners and is a must for the quartet. Expect a bold effort.

R4 – PRIX DE L’ILE SAINT-LOUIS – 1300m (a6f1/2) – TURF – Class 3 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 27,000
1. LE CENTRAL – Hard to fancy on ever declining form lines. Would be a shock winner after
finishing 12th last time. No
2. EUREKA – Only managed 9th last time over 1200m in a Handicap at Chantilly and will need to
pull out more than that to even place here. No
3. PUERTO MADERO – Will need to progress on latest effort when 8th at Saint-Cloud over 1600m
in a weak claimer. Pass by
4. AL KHAMSIN – Finished 2nd over 1600m at Chantilly in a Handicap on the 2nd of May and can
go one better
5. KOUTSOUNAKOS – Finished 11th last time and not much better before that. Cannot be included
based on form. Pass by
6. PAINT IT BLACK – Finished 7th over 1400m at Deauville on the 10th of April in a Handicap and
will need to do plenty more here. Pass by
7. SCARFACE – Finished 2nd over 1200m at Chantilly in penultimate run. Chance on that and last
run best ignored. Chance
8. NESR SHALGHODA – Can build on 7th placing at Parislongchamp over 1000m on the 23rd of
last month in a Handicap. Each way chance
9. NATURAL PATH – Finished 5th over 1100m in Handicap class at La Teste. Outside place
chance at best but prefer others
10. CITY OF HOPE – Won a Handicap over 1600m at Compiegne on the 24th of last month and
can follow up. Strong claims
11. BLACK CESS – Placed 4th over 1400m at Saint-Cloud last time and can get much closer now.
Strong place chance
12. MONTIGNY – Ignore recent 7th, finished 3rd over 1400m at this course before that. Good
chance
13. MISS MAI TAI – Placed only 9th at saint-Cloud last time over 1400m in a Handicap and will
need to do way more to be fancied. Happy to ignore
14. WELCH FUSILIER – Hard to fancy on weak current form, finished 6th in a weak claiming race
at Angers last up. Happy to ignore
15. ACQUAMARINA – Last run was not good at all but effort before that was when 2nd over 1100m
in a weak race at Fontainebleau. Place chance
16. FINDON ROSE – Never shone when 10th at Saint-Cloud over 1400m in a Handicap on the 20th
of last month. Pass by
17. ROYALWOOD – Has won her last two impressively and can reel off the hat trick. Latest win
was at Saint-Cloud over 1300m in Handicap class. Big chance 18. PINK VALENTINE – Was a winner four races back but has been on the decline thereafter.
Finished 12th last time and is the unlikely winner
Summary: AL KHAM (4) caught the eye when 2nd last time at Chantilly and is confidently selected
to go one better. NESR SHALGHODA (8) is a tad off form but is never too far adrift the action. He
has a chance. CITY OF HOPE (10) comes into the race fresh off a victory at Compiegne and can
follow up. ROYALWOOD (17) is a must for most bets especially the quartet. She has won her last
three.

R5 – PRIX DES ARTS ET METIERS – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 28,000
1. KESHAPOUR – Revealed considerable promise as a two-year-old last season and shouldn’t be
hastily condemned after a much-needed comeback outing (7th) over 1600m at Lyon-Parilly on 17
April. Leading light
2. TORTISAMBERT – Finished a creditable 5th in the Group III Prix Djebel over 1400m at Deauville
in his first outing on turf. Should have a role to play eased in grade
3. PIANO BAR – Has never finished worse than 2nd in in his three outings, winning once. Runnerup over 1350m at Angers on 21 May – candidate for success
4. UNE PEINTURE – Unplaced in both comeback outings this year – the latest (7th) over 1350m at
Angers on 21 May – but remains capable of doing better. Place chance
5. OLYMPIC FLAMBEE – Unexposed Olympic Glory colt. Made a winning debut over 1400m at
Nancy on 5 May and is open to any amount of improvement
6. MCTENETT – Caught the eye when finishing an improved/encouraging 2nd in a Quinte+
handicap at this venue over 1300m on 9 May. Keep safe
7. CORTADO – Finished 6th of 10 in the German 2000 Guineas over 1600m at Cologne on 20 May.
Needs to improve to have a say
8. CABERNET FRANC – Revealed considerable promise as a two-year-old last season and
would’ve come on appreciably after a much-needed comeback outing (6th) over 1800m at Chantilly
on 15 April. Warrants respect
9. SHAMROCK GLITTER – Beat Group I Prix du Jockey Club runner-up First Look over 1600m on
PSF at Chantilly before a stint in Dubai, which included a last-start 3rd in the 1600m Jumeirah
Guineas at Meydan on 2 February
10. CHIARANIYA – Toronado filly who caught the eye when making a winning debut over 1500m
at Cagnes-sur-Mer on 21 January. Could be anything
11. DREAM WHISPER – Consistent, versatile filly with sound references/form credentials including
a last-start 3rd on the PSF over 1400mat Chantilly on 17 May. Not taken lightly
12. LA MANDALA – Wasn’t beaten far when 5th of 7 in a Class 2 conditions race at this venue on
9 May. Could get into the picture
13. BEST OF LIGHT – Consistent, versatile filly with sound references/form credentials on both
surfaces. Absent since her 3rd over 1300m at Deauville on 19 January – dangerous to discount
14. TARNAC – Debut winner over 1600m on PSF at Chantilly on February and didn’t go unnoticed
when 5th of 7 in a Class 2 conditions race over that track and trip on 14 March. Dark horse in her
first start on turf
Summary: In his last appearance on French soil, SHAMROCK GLITTER (9) dominated First Look,
runner-up in the recent Group I Prix du Jockey Club. He acquitted himself during a stint in Dubai
and has legitimate claims of making a winning return. TORTISAMBERT (2) is likely to lead the
opposition in the company of KESHAPOUR (1), who would have improved after a much-needed
comeback outing. PIANO BAR (3) completes the shortlist.

R6 – PRIX DE L’ILE DE LA CITE – 1300m (a6f1/2) – TURF – Class 2 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 53,000
1. LANAKEN – Caught the eye when finishing 5th in a lucrative QUinte+ handicap over 1400m at
this venue in April. Shouldn’t be hastily condemned following his latest appearance (11th) in a
conditions race here over 1400m on 9 May
2. WHISPERING DREAM – Consistent filly with sound references/form credentials, including a
place at Listed level on the Deauville straight in April. Returns to French soil with legitimate
ambitions after finishing 4th over 1300m at Hanovre on 1 May
3. PEDRITO – Has placed twice in as many appearances on this course. Out of sorts recently
(finished 10th in a 1400m Quinte at this venue on 28 April) but dangerous to discount off a 1kg
lower mark
4. TORPEN – Confirmed the form/improvement of his previous outing (4th at this level) by finishing
3rd over 1200m at Saint-Cloud on 25 May. Candidate for success
5. BAILEYS BLUES – Supplemented to participate in this event, despite finishing unplaced and
soundly beaten in each of his last three appearances (all at this level) – the latest (14th) over 1400m
at this venue on 28 April
6. DENVER CHOP – Left a favorable impression when 4th in a 1200m Quinté+ on 15 April. His
competitiveness off this mark is beyond doubt but he is probably most effective over a slightly
shorter distance
7. ROYAL SHAKE – FInished an eye-catching 2nd in his first start at this level in a 1400m Quinte+
at this venue on 28 April. Drawn wide in stall No 14 but will have headgear fitted – high on the
shortlist
8. CIAO PA’ – Has sparked improvement recently, albeit in races at a lower level – finished 3rd in a
1350m claimer at ANgers on 21 May. Has more to do
9. CHIRIMIRI – Soundly beaten in both comeback outings this year after a 14-week absence, the
latest (13th) in a 1200m Quinte+ at Chantilly on 15 April. Outsider
10. WHITE PLATIN – Inconsistent hard-knocker with sufficient means to play a leading role in races
at this level. Only 11th in a 1400m QUinte+ at this venue last time (28 April) but remains capable
of better
11. DROGO – Has improved recently with each outing at this level and confirmed as much by
finishing 2nd over 1200m in a Quinte+ at Chantilly on 7 May. Dark horse
12. GALIK – Didn’t go unnoticed when finishing 8th in a 1200m conditions race at Saint-Cloud on
25 May but is probably most effective on PSF. Best watched for now
13. TIMES BOULEVARD – Unexposed filly with undeniable means. Returned to form with an
improved/encouraging 2nd in a 1350m Lyon-Parilly handicap on 18 May. Keep safe
14. CHANEL GOLD – Inconsistent but undeniably capable filly who shouldn’t be hastily condemned
after her 10th in a 1400m Quinte+ at Saint-Cloud on 20 May. Can do better 15. OMICRONE – Won back-to-back PSF handicaps in September and October but was soundly
beaten on her reappearance (12th) in a 1400m Quinte+ at Saint-Cloud on 20 May. For another day
16. BIG STAR – Soundly beaten on his reappearance in a recent 1400m claiming race at this venue
on 16 May. Others preferred
Summary: A winner on this course in October in a slightly stronger race/field, PEDRITO (3) has
experienced varying fortunes since. He had legitimate excuses for his latest failure and soft ground
will greatly serve his interests, so is certainly capable of redeeming himself at long odds. LANAKEN
(1), efficient on this Longchamp layout, TIMES BOULEVARD (13), back on track after a long career
break, and ROYAL SHAKE (7), who was 2nd in the reference race on 28 April, are others with
legitimate winning ambitions. TORPEN (4), despite his wide stall, WHITE PLATIN (10) and
DENVER CHOP (6) are possibilities for places in a typically wide-open Quinte+ event.
