R1 – PRIX DE GILOCOURT – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. MALLORCA SUN – Finished an encouraging 4th in a claiming race for the first time on his
reappearance. Should have more to offer
2. GRAND FETARD – Won a similar contest at Le Mans and subsequently finished 3rd in a
handicap at Angers. Has leading claims
3. TOURGEVILLE – Has resumed this year with consecutive 5th-place finishes and begins at
claiming level with legitimate ambitions. Include
4. BALSAMAND – Unplaced in back-to-back outings recently but should have more to offer
dropping in class now. Not discounted
5. KING MOLLENKOTT – Reassuring 3rd in his last start and could get a look in here if
confirming that improvement
6. KHABESA – Made no impression in two handicap races after winning a maiden contest but
ought to fare better in this grade
7. PIANO MAN – Unreliable sort but is quite capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature on
his best form
8. URAL – Seldom far off the mark and will benefit from his rider’s 2,5kg allowance but has only a
place chance
9. SUPREME – Showed signs of improvement when 4th in a similar contest last time.
Confirmation required
10. VICTORY OVER LIFE – Nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period now so
can be ruled out here
11. ALIGHT – Has looked distinctly ordinary to this point, so her chances are limited even at this
level
Summary : GRAND FETARD (2) has been in good form of late and won at this level two starts
back before finishing 3rd in a handicap last time, so is a serious candidate for success. He gets
the nod ahead of TOURGEVILLE (3), with two comeback runs under her belt, and KHABESA (6)
who are new to this grade. MALLORCA SUN (1) encouraged on his comeback when 4th in a
similar contest and has claims too.
SELECTIONS
GRAND FETARD (2) – TOURGEVILLE (3) – KHABESA (6) – MALLORCA SUN (1)
R2 – PRIX DES TAMBOURAINES – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. BESHTANI – Didn’t go unnoticed on debut last year is one to note on his return after gelding.
Keep safe
2. MADIGAN – Showed promise when 3rd on debut and with natural improvement should have a
say again
3. REBORN – Unplaced in both starts but does have scope to improve after finishing 6th on his
comeback. Watch for now
4. BLINDMAN – Good 5th in a Quinte+ last time and should feature prominently in this grade on
the strength of that form. One to beat
5. SADALBARI – Has nothing noteworthy to his name to warrant inclusion/consideration. Others
preferred
6. CAMERON – Has been holding his form and was last seen finishing 4th over a longer trip. Will
be involved
7. GALLANT DEED – Disappointed at Dieppe last time but would be competitive on earlier form.
Worth another chance
8. MY TAKY TAKY LP – Has looked rather ordinary to this point and needs to take a big step
forward to get a look in
9. MAGIC LORD – Not disgraced in finishing 6th on debut and would have gained plenty from that
experience. Can do better
10. AL QADAM – Amy Murphy-trained Al Wukair colt on debut. One to note with Cristian
Demouro engaged
Summary : BLINDMAN (4) finished a commendable 5th in a Quinte+ contest last time and, on
the strength of that form, is taken to build on that experience to claim a first success here.
MADIGAN (2) should pose a threat if confirming the promise of his debut 3rd. CAMERON (6) was
4th over 2400m recently but ought to be more at home over this trip, so could make his presence
felt too. GALLANT DEED (7) disappointed last time but is better than that run suggests, so cannot
be discounted either.
SELECTIONS
BLINDMAN (4) – MADIGAN (2) – CAMERON (6) – GALLANT DEED (7)
R3 – PRIX D’AMELIE – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Claiming – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. CHOP VAL – Confirmed at this level and has registered a win and a 2nd in two outings after
joining Adrien Fouassier. One to beat
2. BERGWIND – Nothing noteworthy to his name for a considerable period now and can be ruled
out. Ignore
3. NEXTWAVE – Consistent for the most part and won his last 2 starts on the PSF at Mons
(Belgium), Probably more effective on that surface so best watched for now
4. CHANCE – Runner-up in a claiming race over 1600m at Fontainebleau recently and could have
a say if confirming that improvement
5. INATTENDU – Inconsistent but capable veteran who has won twice at this course. Unreliable
but not taken lightly
6. DREAM FOR ALL – Unreliable sort but quite capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature
if bouncing back from a disappointing last start. Respect
7. COME SAY HI – Has struggled to regain any form/consistency for some time, so unlikely to
trouble the judge
8. LE SICILIEN – Returned as a gelding after a long absence when 7th on his reappearance
recently but didn’t go unnoticed on that occasion. Can do better
9. AUENWOLF – Improved on his comeback 6th to win consecutive claiming races recently
before changing hands. Has claims again for new connections
10. SELKET – Unreliable but undeniably capable mare who benefits from rider’s 1,5kg allowance.
Can get into the picture
11. PLEIONE – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time, so her chances are limited even at
this level
Summary : CHOP VAL (1) is in good form and proven at this level, so sets the standard here. LE
SICILIAN (8) made a quiet reappearance in his first start as a gelding but should have more to
offer with the benefit of that outing and is capable of posing a threat with improved fitness on his
side. INATTENDU (5) is inconsistent but has a good turn of foot, which should stand him in good
stead in this grade/company. He completes the shortlist along with AUENWOLF (9) who has
excelled at this level.

R4 – PRIX DE CREPY-EN-VALOIS – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. NATHIM – Modest 7th on debut but would’ve gained plenty from that experience and has the
scope to improve. Watch
2. TERREDEGUERRE – Runner-up in each of her 3 outings and deserves to be rewarded for that
consistency. One to beat
3. EGYPTIENNE – Nothing noteworthy to her name after 2 unplaced efforts so can be ruled out.
Watch for now
4. TISSEUSE DE REVES – Not given a hard time when finishing unplaced on debut and
improvement shown here is not beyond the realms of possibility
5. CHILD OF THE MOON – Caught the eye on her reappearance when finishing 4th at Dieppe
recently. High on shortlist
6. MORGANA – Improving with every start and should be competitive again after finishing 2nd
last time. Include
7. TERTULIANE BLOOM – Finished an encouraging 3rd on debut in a good field and was 2nd on
the PSF when last seen in November. Has claims on her reappearance
8. CHANEL GOLD – Finished a pleasing 3rd on debut but failed to confirm that promise when
only 9th last time. Not written off just yet
9. FURI DE LA HOUSSAY – Showed little when finishing a modest 6th on debut but could
improve with the benefit of that experience
10. ZANONA – Supplemented Siyouni debutante from the stable of Francis-Henri Graffard with
Mickaël Barzalona booked to ride. Warrants respect
11. AFAREET – Mario Baratti’s Mukhadram debutante to be ridden by Davide Cirocca. Worth
keeping an eye
12. VAUX LE VICOMTE – Maurizio Guarnieri-trained Lightning Spear debutante. One to note,
watch betting for clues
Summary : Consistent TERREDEGUERRE (2) deserves to get her head in front and should
terminate her subscription to the 2nd box by finally experiencing the joys of success. She will,
however, have to pull out all the stops to thwart the challenge of likely improver CHILD OF THE
MOON (5) who will be opening her account sooner rather than later. Improving MORGANA (6)
needs no invitation to join the fight for victory, which also applies to returning TERTULIANE
BLOOM (7) who showed promise in both starts last year. Good race!

R5 – PRIX DE SAINT-SAUVEUR – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. TOP GLORY – Concedes weight to all after his last-start victory at Le Mans but should remain
competitive. Include
2. GOT FROST – Struggling to recapture any form and unlikely to trouble the judge even with
1,5kg off. Others preferred
3. MOASA – Nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period and can be ruled out.
Overlook
4. RIVERET – On a long losing run and has shown no spark of improving for some time so can
be ruled out
5. BECH RIVER – Inconsistent but seldom finishes far off the mark on a going day. Hard to trust
but as hard to rule out
6. ENJOY THE SILENCE – Nothing noteworthy to his name for a considerable period and can be
ruled out. Overlook
7. MAKSEN SENORA – Has struggled to recapture form for some time now so unlikely to trouble
the judge. Ignore
8. ANGEL DUST – Confirmed recent improvement when 3rd last time and likely to feature
prominently here on that evidence. Goes close
9. AYGUEMORTE – Showed signs of improvement last time and could get a look in here if
confirming that form. Dark horse
10. KAVAKNEY – Returned to form when 4th at Saint-Cloud last time and should be competitive
if confirming that improvement
11. ORPANAMA DAVIS – Finished 4th behind TOP GLORY (1) last time and need only repeat
that performance have a say here
12. THE FIRST LADY – Encouraging 4th on her reappearance and should be involved with
improved fitness on her side
13. FEE HISTORIQUE – On a poor run of form and is hard to make a case for in her current
shape. Capable but best watched for now
14. EXCLUSIVE BEAUTY – Nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period and can
be ruled out. Overlook
15. ZAMUJA – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time now, so his chances are limited here.
Overlook
16. ART PREMIER – On a long losing run and struggling to regain any form, so unlikely to trouble
the judge here
Summary : ANGEL DUST (8) returned to form with a good 3rd at Saint-Cliud recently and should
be right in the firing line if confirming that improvement here. TOP GLORY (1) shoulders topweight 60kg but also has the means to fight for victory in this handicap. ORPANAMA DAVIS (11)
is competitive at this level and ought to make his presence felt if building on the improvement of
his last start. Like that rival, KAVAKNEY (10) and THE FIRST LADY (12) also finished 4th last
time and could get into the picture too.

R6 – PRIX DE L’IMPERATRICE MARIE-LOUISE – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 21.000
1. BOZA – Drawn wide here and has been struggling for some time now, so needs to reaffirm.
Overlook
2. POWER PAPERS – Supplemented after finding form and consistency recently. Can open his
account if making further improvement
3. BLACK LIVES MATTER – Caught the eye when a pleasing 3rd on his reappearance. Should
be in the fight for victory
4. STIRLING – Inconsistent but not far off the mark in recent outings. Hard to trust but as hard to
rule out
5. FULLDITCH – Has been struggling to recapture form for some time now and is unlikely to
trouble the judge
6. ASHDEL – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time, so his chances are limited even at this
level
7. CAPE VERDE – Has struggled to spark any improvement or a return to form for some time.
Can be ruled out
8. HARTWOOD MAN – Up 2,5kg after an authoritative last-start win but is likely to remain
competitive. Keep safe
9. ONZEMAI – Undeniably capable and does pop up on occasion but too inconsistent to trust.
Others make more appeal
10. RED CRAZY – Nothing noteworthy to his name for a considerable period now, so can be
ruled out here
11. LOUVE PRECIEUSE – Reassuring 3rd in her last start and could stake a claim here if
confirming that improvement
12. NAJIBA – Has shown signs of improvement by finishing 4th in consecutive starts recently.
Could get a look in
13. LADY VALOU – Closely matched on the form of her last start with HARTWOOD MAN (8) and
JOYCE GALESTE (15). Can have a say
14. JAVA JAMES – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time so her chances here are very
limited. Overlook
15. JOYCE GALESTE – Unreliable filly but quite capable of making her presence felt in a race of
this nature. Respect
16. KOREM – Has been struggling for some time so is hard to make a case for. Unlikely to trouble
the judge
17. BRAMANTE – Nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period now, so can be
easily overlooked
Summary : POWER PAPERS (2) has improved over recent weeks and maintained his form and
consistency. He is proven at this level and could, with another competitive showing expected,
deservedly open his account. BLACK LIVES MATTER (3) made an encouraging comeback (3rd)
and is likely to pose a threat if building if confirming that improvement. Last-start winner
HARTWOOD MAN (8) also has the means to fight for victory, with the shortlist completed by
LOUVE PRECIEUSE (11) after an improved recent outing.
