1. WILLIAM TELL – Lightly raced three-year-old gelding who recorded an impressive win when resuming last start over 1300m at Chantilly All Weather, scoring with a bit in hand. Can get the job done again.
2. NOLITO – Improved sharply last start to crack his maiden over 1500m at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Worth including.
3. LE TABOU – Lightly raced colt who was beaten 0.8 lengths into second last start over 1300m at Deauville All Weather. Sure to go close.
4. BIG DRIFT – Hasn’t been far away in three career runs, the latest when 5.5 lengths away in fourth over 1500m at Deauville All Weather. No easier this time and others rate better.
5. RECOLETTY – Returned from a spell last start with a nice win by 0.8 lengths over 1300m at Deauville All Weather. Back in great order and can feature in the finish.
6. JELIEL – Still a maiden after seven runs, last start finishing fifth over 1600m at Chantilly All Weather. Others rate better.

Summary: LE TABOU (3) placed second when beaten 0.75L over 1300m at Deauville AW. Taken to make a winning turf debut. WILLIAM TELL (1) looks a big threat following a 1.5L success in a 1300m maiden at Chantilly AW. NOLITO (2) impressed with a 5L success over this trip at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Shortlisted in a stronger contest. RECOLETTY (5) is another to consider following a 0.75L triumph tackling 1300m at Deauville AW.

Selections

LE TABOU (3) – WILLIAM TELL (1) – NOLITO (2) – RECOLETTY (5)

Race 2 – PRIX DU MONT SAINT-PIERRE –  2400m CL2. Purse EUR €27,000.

1. L’ANTHARIS – Last appeared four months ago when he finished 37 lengths from the winner in eighth over 3000m at Angers. Look for a bold run.
2. ALERIO – Returns after a break of four months. Finished his last campaign impressively, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 2400m at Lyon-Parilly. Expect he is primed for a big first-up performance.
3. STALLONE – Wasn’t expected to do much when fresh from a spell last start at Chantilly All Weather over 2700m and wound up in seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths. That run was a bit plain so prefer him later on.
4. GOLDEN CALL – Has not raced since finishing 6 lengths away in fifth over 2500m at Deauville on October 19. Could surprise.
5. LA FILLE DU SUD – Last appeared when easily accounted for at Fontainebleau on November 25 which was a disappointing end to a solid campaign. Expected to be in the finish.

Summary: ALERIO (2) saw off a subsequent winner when victorious by 1.25L over this trip at Lyon-Parilly. Looks capable of making a winning seasonal debut. LA FILLE DU SUD (5) finished 10L fourteenth in the Listed Grand Prix de Fontainebleau over 2000m at Fontainebleau in November. Strong claims upped in trip. GOLDEN CALL (4) rates a threat on his first start since a 6L fifth in the 2500m Listed Prix Vulcain at Deauville last October. L’ANTHARIS (1) showed good placed form prior to a disappointing 37L eighth attempting 3000m at Angers. Of note.

1. SAADIYAT – Returned after filling a minor placing on debut at Saint-Cloud over 1500m on October 6. Rates highly.

6. OUJDA – Good effort on debut back on November 16 when second over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather. Solid top-three chance.
7. INKIOSTRO – Has had one run back from a break and was well held in fourth over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather two weeks ago. No easier this time and happy to leave out.

Summary: KAMIYAH (2) debuted with a 0.5L second over 1600m at Deauville in October. Selected to break her maiden at the second attempt. SAADIYAT (1) is expected to challenge for the win having debuted with a 0.75L second over 1500m at Saint-Cloud last autumn. NOSTRA IMPERATRICE (3) placed second when beaten 0.5L by a subsequent winner tackling a 1600m maiden at Chantilly AW. Dangerous on just her second start on turf.

5. LEOPARDUCCIO – Two-start maiden who shows promise and looks close to a win, the latest effort a sound fourth over 1600m at Chantilly All Weather. Has upside and is likely to feature.
6. WONDER OF YOU – Finished 8 lengths back in sixth on debut over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather last start. Looking to others.

Selections

2. MANARENIX – Easily beaten at her last run before spelling and didn’t fare any better when resuming over 1800m at Chantilly All Weather two weeks ago, beaten 21 lengths into 12th. Can’t see her turning things around.
3. PARIS AFFAIR – Has ability but the wins are rare. Last start finished 11th over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather, beaten 5 lengths. Looks tested.
4. KICK BOXING – Scored over 2500m at Deauville All Weather two back then missed the frame last time out over 2500m at Deauville All Weather. Great chance to atone.
5. PERLE D’IVOIRE – Wasn’t expected to do much when fresh from a spell last start at Pornichet over 1700m and wound up in ninth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Expecting her to kick on with that first run out of the way.
6. STAR DRACK – Handy stayer who has been plain of late including last start when well held over 1600m at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather. Rates highly this time so he can bounce back.
7. BLUE HORIZON – Is coming back sharply in journey after he finished ninth last start over 2700m at Chantilly All Weather. Happy to overlook.
8. DAMANDA’S DELIGHT – Has not raced since finishing 16 lengths away in 11th over 1800m at Le Croise-Laroche on October 12. Not keen on her chances.
9. GOT FROST – Failed to feature last time out over 1600m at Fontainebleau when fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths. Loves this circuit with two wins from four starts. Watch for a much better run.
10. GRINTA – Could only manage ninth over 2500m at Deauville All Weather last start to continue a run of ordinary form. A better run is on the cards.
11. PARISIAN BELLE – Resumed at Deauville All Weather over 1900m last time out and finished ninth, beaten 5 lengths. Should improve.
12. ECCELSO – Has not raced since finishing 6 lengths away in 12th over 1600m at Chantilly All Weather on December 17. Don’t underestimate while fresh.
13. ENJOY THE SILENCE – Missed the frame two back when fifth at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather but turned in a better effort last time to finish in the money over 1600m at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather. Leading contender.
14. IVISHAK RIVER – Yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest effort a sixth over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather two weeks ago. Tough to beat if near her best.

Summary: KICK BOXING (4) recorded a 1.25L fourth when contesting a 2500m handicap at Deauville AW. Taken to deliver a victory on his return to turf. ENJOY THE SILENCE (13) looks a big threat having finished 1.75L second over 1600m at Cagnes-sur-Mer. GOT FROST (9) registered a 2.25L fifth in a 1600m handicap at Fontainebleau. Of note in this field. STAR DRACK (6) enters calculations following a 7L fifth in the previously mentioned Cagnes-sur-Mer event.

Race 6 – PRIX DU LAONNOIS –  1800m HCP. Purse EUR €25,000.

1. SOUL OF THE NATION – Didn’t inspire again last start, beaten 18 lengths over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather. Struggling to make an impact lately and others appeal more.
2. EMOZIONE – Building up to a maiden win. In the money for the first time last start when third over 1900m at Deauville All Weather. Heading in the right direction and holds claims.
3. ONE TIME BED – Disappointed when 12 lengths back in eighth last time over 1900m at Deauville All Weather. Kept fresh for this. Last run worth forgiving.
4. GREASE – Four-start maiden who was fifth last start, beaten 12 lengths over 2100m at Pornichet. Can do better.
5. LETTRE DE NOBLESSE – Second up after a fine return last start, finishing just 0.8 lengths off the winner over 1650m at Machecoul. Looks hard to beat.
6. VENES – Has done nothing in three runs to date, the latest when beaten 5.5 lengths into ninth over 1600m at Chantilly All Weather. Makes very little appeal.
7. STELLAR JAY – Placed at Pornichet when resuming two runs back then could only manage fourth at Chantilly All Weather over 2100m three-and-a-half weeks ago. Tough to beat on best form.
8. MR CASSIOPE – Resumes today after a successful maiden preparation, scoring two times from six starts. At the latest outing he finished second over 1400m at Limoges on November 26. Open to improvement and expected to feature.
9. L’AMBASSADEUR – Could only manage ninth over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather last start to continue a run of ordinary form. Well placed and can do much better.
10. MAGELLAN – Last appeared 12 weeks ago when he finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1700m at Pornichet. Can run a good race while fresh.
11. BANDASTAR – Comes here second-up. Safely accounted for at each of his three runs to date. No threat when eighth over 2150m at Lyon-la-Soie last time out. Making up the numbers.
12. WE CAN DO IT – Beaten half a length into third at Marseille Vivaux two starts ago then appeared at Marseille Vivaux last time and finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth. Strong contender on best form.
13. MON SIOUX – Has not raced since finishing 8 lengths away in tenth over 1800m at Lyon-la-Soie on November 23. Prefer to see how he returns.
14. A STOLEN KISS – Up 200m in distance and out to 1800m for the first time. She looks ready but had seven starts and not managed a placing. Not a threat here.
15. OCTOBER CHOPE – Produced a better run last time out when fourth over 2150m at Cagnes-sur-Mer, beaten 5 lengths. Don’t underestimate.

Summary: LETTRE DE NOBLESSE (5) chased home a subsequent winner when 0.75L second in a 1650m maiden at Machecoul. Looks capable of making a winning handicap debut. EMOZIONE (2) looks a big threat having been beaten 2.25L when third in a 1900m handicap at Deauville AW. STELLAR JAY (7) delivered a 3.25L fourth in a 2100m claiming race at Chantilly AW. Shortlisted. MR CASSIOPE (8) gets a chance on his first start since a 0.5L second over 1400m in a Limoges maiden last November.

Selections

Race 7 – PRIX DU CARREFOUR DE L’ARMISTICE –  1600m HCP CL3. Purse EUR €23,000.

1. VARINKA – Came from a wide gate and could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1900m at Deauville All Weather.
2. MAKILROY – Often in the placings but wins are rare. Last start finished 12th at Chantilly All Weather beaten 7 lengths. Key chance in this line-up.
3. NIGHT CANDLE – Finished 17th when fresh from a spell last start, beaten 12 lengths over 1600m at Chantilly All Weather. Will come on from that run.
4. WIN DAISY – Finding it hard to break through, finishing sixth last time out over 1600m at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather. Worth one more chance.
5. JOYEUSE SAGE – Has not raced since finishing 9 lengths away in seventh over 1800m at Fontainebleau on November 8. Prepared to watch.
6. BREMONTIER – Was underwhelming last start but if he can find the form that saw him finish third at Deauville All Weather two back he is right in contention.
7. BAILEYS BELLE STAR – Has not raced since finishing 9 lengths away in 11th over 1600m at Chantilly All Weather on December 17. Prefer to see how she returns.
8. MESSAGIN A BOTTLE – Still a maiden after finishing 16th last start over 1900m at Deauville All Weather. Unlikely to threaten.
9. HARTWOOD MAN – Stepping out at this circuit for the first time. Last appeared when he finished fourth over 1600m at Fontainebleau on March 3. Everything points towards a big run.
10. SAINT SIMEON – Resuming. Form last time in was poor and looking elsewhere for the winner at this stage. Others are preferred.
11. JAVA JAMES – Form either side of a spell has been pretty average. Resumed last start and was beaten 21 lengths over 1400m at Chantilly All Weather. Not keen.
12. LADY VALOU – Hasn’t won in more than a year. Must improve off a last-start tenth over 1400m at Mont-de-Marsan to feature in the finish.
13. BLOOD CHOPE – Disappointing last time when 6 lengths 11th at Chantilly All Weather, maintaining the maiden status after 30 runs. Testing the patience.
14. GLORY WHITE – Finished ninth last start over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather when she had to contend with an awkward draw. Needs more.
15. SECRET GLORY – Has been out of the money recently including last time out when fourth over 1800m at Lyon-la-Soie a month ago, beaten 1.3 lengths. Hard to beat on her best form.

Summary: HARTWOOD MAN (9) performed well when 2L fourth over 1600m at Fontainebleau. Taken to register his first victory. MAKILROY (2) showed good form prior to a below par twelfth over 1300m at Chantilly AW. Rates a big threat on his return to turf. SECRET GLORY (15) enters calculations on the back of a 1.25L fourth tackling 1800m at Lyon-la-Soie. BREMONTIER (6) may put a disappointing 3L ninth attempting 1800m at Lyon-la-Soie behind him to challenge for the win.

Selections

HARTWOOD MAN (9) – MAKILROY (2) – SECRET GLORY (15) – BREMONTIER (6)
