worth noting they have travelled to race this filly here. WEWILLDANCEAGAIN (1) could be a
danger in representing a decent trainer. MOJAVE RIVER (3) has Maxime Guyon in the saddle
and deserves the utmost respect. CHAMPAGNE DANCER (2) could also be capable of scoring
first time out.

and has made the trip from the UK so should be ready to score. MARANOA CHARLIE (2)
represents a trainer who is good with early juveniles and he deserves the utmost respect.
BASALT (6) is another that has travelled for this race and must be considered a possible winner.
BRISE NOIR (1) is another that could contest the finish.

over this course and distance on 7 July. Has a winning chance
4. AVERSA – Very unreliable and was 11th last time out in a handicap at this course over 1600m
on 7 July. Could be a surprise package this shorter distance
5. KIMI ORENDA – Disappointing form of late and was 6th last time out in a Listed race at Vichy
over 1600m on 19 July. Capable of an upset this distance
6. TUDO BEM – On a very long losing run but was not disgraced when 5th last time out in a
handicap over this track and trip on 7 July. Can contest the finish
7. DROLE DE DAME – Returned from a break to win a Conditions race at Granville over 1700m

1400m on 30 July. Capable of being competitive this track and trip
10. TERTIUS – Has been a runner-up in two of his last three starts, including last time out in a
handicap over this track and trip on 7 July. Can go one better this time
11. WHITE PLATIN – Unreliable again this year and was 5th last time out in a Conditions race at
ParisLongchamp over 1300m on 13 July. Could play a minor role

scoring a handicap at this course over 1400m on 30 July. Carries a 3,5kg penalty but could play a

this track and trip on 7 July. Capable of better and could earn some minor money

17. MCTENETT – Has yet to win a race and was 11th last time out in a handicap at this course
over 1300m on 3 August. Needs to do more to win this race
Summary: A very competitive-looking race and we should get an exciting finish. TERTIUS (10) is
threatening to win again and had a number of these behind him when a runner-up last time out
over this course and distance. He can go one better. TUDO BEM (6) was one of those behind the
winner PUREST TIME (1) and second that day TERTIUS (10) last time out and could get a lot
closer this time. TORPEN (9) is better than his last run would suggest and could be a threat.
PUREST TIME (1) carries a penalty for his latest win but is not out of it.

3. REVOLUTIONNAIRE – Continues to improve and was a winner last time out in a Conditions

over 1400m on 19 July. Has made the trip from the UK so deserves some respect
5. GRISELDA – Consistent and was not disgraced when fourth last time out in a Listed race at
this course over 1400m on 7 July. Has a winning chance

1350m on 20 July. Needs to do more to win this race
Summary: A competitive race. HEYBETLI (2) won well last time out and can follow up but there
are a number of rivals that can show vast improvement. REVOLUTIONNAIRE (3) has not done
much wrong so far and has already won twice so is battle-hardened and a danger. UNE
POINTURE (8) won nicely last time out and could have more to offer. FORT ETNA (9) has shown
some promise and could contest the finish.

1. ALMAQAM – Unplaced last time, won before that over 1600m in a Listed race at Sandown
(GBR) on May 23rd. One to consider
2. SAFWAN – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that in a Class 1 race at Lyon Parilly on May
8th on May 8th. Opposable
3. WAHDAN – 3rd last time at Saint-Cloud behind BRIGHT PICTURE (7) over 2000m in the Gr.2
Prix Eugene Adam on June 30th. Has ground to make up and others more likely
4. ECONOMICS – Was an easy 6L winner on May 16th at York (GBR) of the Dante Stakes (Gr.2)
on his latest run over 2050m. Can play a lead role
5. JAYAREBE – Won well over 2000m at Ascot (GBR) on June 20th in a Group 3 race when last
appearing. Hard to ignore
6. ARROW EAGLE – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that in a Class 1 race at Parislongchamp on
April 25th over 2150m. Needs a few to falter
7. BRIGHT PICTURE – Won well in the Prix Eugene Adam (Gr.2) last time over 2000m on June
30th. Seems to be getting better with experience and has a key chance
Summary: A strong lineup for this Group 3 race. The best of the French looks to be BRIGHT
PICTURE (7) who won the Prix Eugene Adam (Gr.2) in late June when last seen and looks
progressive. ECONOMICS (4) won what is really an Epsom Derby trial at York when bolting up
by six lengths in the Dante Stakes (Gr.2) in May. He missed that possible race and has been
given time to mature. He will make things interesting. JAYAREBE (5) and ALMAQAM (1) both
have good form in the UK and can also be involved.

to feature
3. DOLLAR INDEX – Nice 3rd in a Listed race at Compiegne on July 22nd over 2000m. Ought to
be in the shake-up
4. NERANO – 4th last time at Ascot (GBR) over 2000m on June 22nd. Irish trained raider who
has work to do
5. KINGSALE – Unplaced last time, 4th before that in a Group 3 race at Chantilly on May 11th.
Has an outside place chance
6. MIRADOR – Won on his sole run last year at Deauville over 1400m on August 17th. Fitness is
taken on trust but looks like a promising type
7. BLACK RUN – 3rd last time over 2000m at Ascot (GBR) on June 22nd. Makes the trip from the
UK but others preferred
8. LUIZA BERE – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that in a Listed race over 1800m at
Parislongchamp on May 23rd. Hard to discount
9. SOME SKYE – 5th last time over 1800m at Chantilly in a Group 3 race on July 14th. Can make
the top three
10. ZORA – Won last time in a Class 2 race on her third start over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on June
15th. Merits consideration
11. ST ELVIRA – Unplaced last time, won before that in a maiden over 1800m at Parislongchamp
on June 20th. Opposable
Summary: TRAFALGAR SQUARE (1) has some solid efforts of late and put in another honest
display when second in a Group 3 race at Vichy in mid-July. He should score from LUIZA BERE
(8) who is also one that rarely runs out of the frame. She found the Group 3 Class a bit too much
last time. DOLLAR INDEX (3) is one for the each-way backers to latch on to. SOME SKYE (9)
can also have a say at the business end.

Can follow up this shorter distance

at this course over 2800m on 18 July. Capable of doing better but others are preferred
4. LOUVAGNY – Struggled in his last two starts and was 12th last time out in a handicap at
ParisLongchamp over 2500m on 14 May 2023. Returns from a lengthy break and is likely to need
the run
5. SAINT HELLIER – Has really struggled of late and was tenth last time out in a handicap at
Deauville over 1900m on 28 July. Needs major improvement to win
6. EQUUS VINCIT – Did not show his best when 6th last time out in a Conditions race at SaintMalo over 1800m on 15 July. Better over a bit further but should fight out the finish
7. ALSIMRYA – Not at all disgraced when 5th last time out in a handicap at Dieppe over 2200m
on 23 July. Capable of making the frame
8. ROMANTIC SCENE – Has not shown much in her two starts of this year and was 5th last time
out in a Conditions race at Aix-les-Bains over this distance on 14 July. Fitter now and could get
into the frame
9. BAZOQUES – Unreliable but was runner-up in a Conditions race last time out over this course
and distance on 20 July. Can go one better
Summary: GIRAFFE (2) is returning from a break but is consistent and can win a race like this if
fit. EQUUS VINCIT (6) is probably at very best over a bit further but does have a winning chance
in an open-looking race. DIANE’STAR (1) won a handicap over a bit further last time out but does
deserve respect. ALSIMRYA (7) was not disgraced last time out and is another to consider.

on June 29th, not up to Group 1 Class on July 29th at this track. Can be involved

be a step too far

find a few of these too smart
9. BLUEDRUM – 2nd last time over 1400m in a Group 3 race at Leopardstown (IRL) on July 11th.
In the mix
10. SPIRITUAL – Won last time in a Listed race over 1600m at Sandown (GBR) on July 6th.
Ought to be thereabouts
11. CETERA – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1600m in the Prix De Sandringham (Gr.2)
at Chantilly on June 2nd. One to keep safe
12. LOUISE PROCTER – Unplaced last time, won before that in a Class 1 race at Chantilly on
March 28th over 1400m. Place chance
Summary: BRIGHT THUNDER (2) has won two of her three starts, and won nicely at Chantilly in
a Listed race in late June on the most recent run. Her trainer does well with his horses he sends
to France. Her main threat is ROSE BLOOM (3) who was less than a length behind in second last
time at Chantilly. She can make a race of it. RIBALTAGAIA (6) found Group 1 level too much last
time but had good form before that and is in the mix. SPIRITUAL (10) heads the remainder.

4. VIRTUS – Imreliable and he did not show his best when tenth last time out in a handicap over
this course and distance on 24 July. Capable of earning some money when in the mood
5. ZARICA – Well tried this year without winning but she has been a runner-up in her last two
starts, both in claimers, with the latest being at Vittel over 2100m on 2 August. Not out of it

2200m on 23 July. Carries a 2,50kg penalty for that win and has a place chance

8. SIXUNION – In good form and was runner-up in two handicaps at this course recently, with the
latest being over 3000m on 7 August. Be right there at the finish once again
9. DARLYVI – Showed what she is capable of when scoring a handicap win at Aix-les-Bains over
2500m on 14 July. Carries a 2kg penalty but could play a minor role
10. WILLY BOY – Distance suited but did struggle over this track and trip last time out when 14th
in a handicap on 24 July. Won his penultimate start and is capable of an upset
Summary: WILLY WINNER (1) did not show his best last time out and is probably better on the
PSF but did run well enough in his penultimate start to get the vote to score. ZARICA (5) is
knocking hard at the door again and knows how to win races. HADLEIGH (7) has only been fair
of late but is capable of winning. SIXUNION (8) is in good form and should be involved with the
finish yet again.

hat-trick of wins is highly possible despite the switch to the PSF and change of venue. ILLUSTRE

10. SISTER OF LOVE – Has six unplaced runs of late since a win over 1200m at Fontainebleau
in a Class 3 handicap on March 25th. Has a place chance
11. SCARFACE – Two unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 1300m at Parislongchamp on
June 6th in a Class 3 handicap. Needs to be more reliable
12. ROYALWOOD – Won last time over 1400m in a Class 4 handicap at Le Lion D’Angers on
July 26th. Might be in the handicappers grip
13. JASMIN DORE – Unplaced last time, won before that over 1200m at Toulouse in a Class 4
handicap on June 19th. Opposable
14. EL COMANDANTE – Unplaced last time, 4th before that at Deauville over 1400m in a Class 3
handicap on April 10th. Hardly inspiring
15. FUCHSIA – 4th two runs ago over 1200m at this track behind SIMPLY LOVELY (9) in a Class
3 handicap on July 7th. Needs a few to falter
16. HORTENSIA BASC – Credible 2nd at this track and trip behind SIMPLY LOVELY (9) in a
Class 3 handicap on July 7th. On more favourable terms she can make things interesting
Summary: VICTORY SALUTE (1) won by a length over course and distance when racing here
14 days ago. This requires more but he will be in a good frame of mind after that success.
LOVELY ANGEL (6) looks like the main danger, she won two runs ago at Le Touquet and is very
honest. ISMAEL PAINT (5) is one to include in all place bet permutations. AVRILOMANOIR (8)
likes this straight 1200m and was a good third recently behind SIMPLY LOVELY (9) in July at this
track.

1. LAMIRAL DARHAAN – Yet to win a race but was not disgraced when fourth last time out in a
Conditions race at this course over 2000m on 24 July. Should contest the finish again
2. BLACK SAXON – Has run well in both starts and was third last time out in a Conditions race
over this track and trip on 19 July. Big chance in this line-up
3. SOBEST – Did not show his best when 12th last time out in a Conditions race at Dieppe over
2200m on 5 August. Capable of playing a minor role
4. ADRETT – Did not show her best when 7th on her handicap debut at La Teste-de-Buch over
2000m on 3 July. Won her penultimate start and has a place chance
5. VITUS BERING – Not disgraced on debut when fourth in a Conditions race at Vittel over
2000m on 7 July. Could play a minor role
6. MUSIC TEACHER – Showed some improvement when third last time out in a Conditions race
at Senonnes-Pouancé over 2900m on 3 August. Has a winning chance in this line-up
7. LA DO RE – Showed vast improvement stepped up in distance when a runner-up last time out
in a Conditions race at Angers over 2300m on 20 June. Can go one better
Summary: MUSIC TEACHER (6) showed improvement when third last time out and could set the
standard in this small field. BLACK SAXON (2) has run well in both starts and should be right
there at the finish once again. LAMIRAL DARHAAN (1) ran well at this track last time out and
should be competitive. LA DO RE (7) is improving and clearly is not out of it.

1. BATEAU BLANC – Did not show his best when unplaced in Rome last time out over 2200m on
19 May. Down in grade and can fight out the finish if fit from a break
2. SANS VOIX – Disappointing form this year and was 8th last time out in a Listed race at La
Teste-de-Buch over this distance on 21 July. Did much better last year and can bounce back to
score
3. HINAT – Ran well on debut but has only been modest in two starts since then and was 6th last
time out in a Conditions race at this course over 2000m on 15 July. Can do better this shorter
distance
4. LORLIWHIP – Did not show much on debut when 9th in a Conditions race at Aix-les-Bains over
1800m on 9 July. Needs to find a few lengths to win
5. EXQUISEMENT – Only 6th on debut in a Conditions race at this course over 1600m on 24 July.
Likely to improve and is not out of it
6. NOVA HOPE – Well beaten in both starts and was 12th last time out in a Conditions race at
Saint-Cloud over this distance on 11 June. Needs to find a few lengths to win
Summary: SANS VOIX (2) and BATEAU BLANC (1) have not really been at their best this year
but can redeem themselves in this race. SANS VOIX (2) flopped in a Listed race last time out but
should do better in a race like this. BATEAU BLANC (1) struggled in the Rome Derby but can do
a lot better this distance. NOVA HOPE (6) should improve on the debut and can contest the
finish. HINAT (3) can make the frame.
