R1 – PRIX DU HARAS ROYAL DE MEUDON – 1000m (a5f) – TURF – Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 30.000
1. MUBAALEGH – A nice effort when 4th at Fontainebleau on the latest outing over 1200m in a
Class 2 race. Capable of winning off top weight
2. TOIJK – Has been out of the frame so far in 2023. 4th at Saint-Cloud over 1300m in October.
Capable of making an impact
3. LESSLEPASSER – 2nd at Fontainebleau over 1100m in a Class 1 race on May 3rd. Won over
1100m on March 17th. Consistent and live chance
4. BACCHILIDE – A fair effort when 3rd three runs back at Deauville over 1300m in January in a
Class 2 race. Can feature
5. SASSY RASCAL – Below par on the last few runs, but 2nd over 1300m at Deauville in January
was a good effort. Can play a role
6. KING ROBBE – Nice 3rd over 1000m at Lyon Parilly over 1000m on March 20th. Merits
consideration
7. JOSEJOSEPHINE – Has had several unplaced runs over different trips of late. Looks out of form
and best watched
8. SEASCAPE GIRL – Has three unplaced runs of late, 3rd before those over 1300m at Deauville.
Each way option
9. PILE OU FACE – Has a couple of unplaced runs of late. A winner over 1100m at Fontainebleau
on March 8th. Can place at nice odds
10. ISMAEL PAINT – Out of the frame on the last run, 4th before that over 1200m at Chantilly on
April 17th. Has work to do
11. MANA MAHA – Has been out of the frame in two runs of late. 2nd at Moulins over 1000m in
April 2022. Ought to be in the shake-up
12. KOUTSOUNAKOS – A winner two races back over 1100m in late April. has won at this venue
before. Has outside place chance
13. EXCALIBUR – A winner on the last run at Croise-Laroche over 1100m in mid-April. Others look
more equipped
14. SHOT IN THE DARK – Has won the latest two races at Angouleme, the latter over 1000m on
April 16th. Better race here but can have a say
Summary : MUBAALEGH (1) could be the answer in a very open race. He was a nice fourth at
Fontainebleau in a Class 2 race on his most recent outing and can get back in the winner’s circle
here. LESSLEPASSER (3) has been in top shape of late, with a win two runs ago at Fontainebleau
over 1100m and a good second on his most recent appearance at that same venue in a Class 1
race over the 1100m, he can have a role to play. SASSY RASCAL (5) needs to bounce back from
a few below-par efforts but is capable on her day. TOIJK (2) should make the frame.

R2 – PRIX DU PALAIS-ROYAL – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Group 3 – Group – Flat – EUR € 80.000
1. FORT PAYNE – 5th in a Group 2 on the last run and a winner before that over 1400m at Chantilly
in a Class 2 race on March 31st. Ought to be on the premises
2. AMILCAR – Lost the race after a slight jink on most recent outing over 1400m at this venue on
April 27th. Form choice
3. DANELO – Has been unplaced on the last two runs, 4th before that over 1200m in a Group 3
race at Baden Baden last August. Capable of being in the shake-up
4. NATIONAL SERVICE – A winner two runs back over 1700m at Marseille Borely in a Class 2 race
in March. His best form has been over further
5. EGOT – Vast improver a winner at Chantilly on his last run over 1200m in a Listed race on May
4th. Hard to rule out
6. LOUBEISIEN – Out of the frame on the last two runs, a winner before that over 1300m at Chantilly
in early March. Might find this a step too far
7. KING GOLD – Got the race when AMILCAR (2) jinked and slightly impeded his run, he was a
closing second at the line on the last run at this track over 1400m last month. It is hard to say if he
would have won with a trouble-free run. Not to be overlooked
8. ABHAYAA – Out of the frame on the last two starts. 2nd four runs back in a Listed race at
Compiegne over 2000m. Others preferred
Summary : A winner last time at this track and then demoted AMILCAR (2) was a shade unlucky
to lose that race and can make amends and win this. EGOT (5) is on the upgrade and recent
success at Listed level was a good performance over 1200m, he poses the main threat. KING
GOLD (7) benefited from the jink of AMILCAR (2) when he was second to him over course and
distance last month, as he got the race awarded to him by the stewards. He is another to be
progressing and can not be ruled out of being involved. DANELO (3) could make the frame if getting
back to his best.

R3 – PRIX DE LA CONCORDE – 2200m (a1 3/8m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 53.000
1. EQUUS VINCIT – A winner over 2250m on the most recent run at this track. Looks likely to follow
up
2. MY CHARMING PRINCE – 3rd two runs back over 3000m in a Class 2 race on April 4th. Can
place at nice odds
3. FRESH KISS – A nice winner at Nantes on the latest run over 2400m on May 6th. Among the
top chances
4. REVOLTEE – A fair run when 6th at this venue on most recent start over 2250m last month. Can
not be dismissed at this track
5. PLAIN BEAU – Has been 2nd on the last two runs, the latter at Lyon Parilly over 2200m on May
8th. Each way option
6. TAURAN SHAMAN – Has had three unplaced efforts recently. A nice second over 2200m on
March 3rd at Fontainebleau. Ought to be thereabouts
7. GULF – Seems to be a bit below par of late, but is another to have dropped to a lenient mark. A
winner in Class 2 company in December over 2500m. Can place at nice odds
8. GEMMYO – Has dropped in the handicap and has enough talent to get involved off a low rating.
Not ruled out
9. SAAM – Has dropped over 5kg in the ratings after a number of unplaced efforts. Capable of
being involved off the current rating
10. REVENTADOR – A winner at Strasbourg over 2000m in April two runs back. Needs a bit more
to get in the mix
11. VALENTINO – A winner over 2150m at this track in April. Has a penalty and might need a good
deal more to win again
12. REPLENISH – Has been out of the frame of late on four starts. The latest was over 2250m last
month. Others make more appeal
13. BABY GEORGE – 4th at Angers on the latest run over 2300m on May 11th. More is needed to
get involved
14. JANNINA –
Summary : A recent winner at this track EQUUS VINCIT (1) can defy top weight and win again.
REVOLTEE (4) like this track and he was a winner here last season and ran a credible race when
last seen at this venue last month, he can make his presence felt. FRESH KISS (3) can be the
each-way angle after recent success at Nantes on May 6th. SAAM (9) has dropped over 5kg in the
ratings and is more than capable of being involved at the business end.

EQUUS VINCIT (1) – REVOLTEE (4) – FRESH KISS (3) – SAAM (9)
R4 – PRIX D’ESCOVILLE – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 1 – Flat – EUR € 35.000
1. COLOMBIER – Won on debut at Chantilly over 2000m on April 28th. Can only improve and looks
competitive
2. IFACH – Nice winner at Saint-Cloud over 1600m in a Class 2 race on May 5th. Key chance
3. MR MOLIERE – Out of the frame on the last run over 1600m behind IFACH (2). A winner on
debut, although he has been a shade disappointing since
4. LAND OF DRAGONS – A winner on the last outing at Chantilly over 1600m on April 28th. Others
rate higher
5. KIEVSKY – A fair 3rd at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on May 5th behind IFACH (2). Needs more to
win
6. BLESS – Nice 4th on latest run over 1600m at this track on April 20th in a Class 1 race. Chased
home MARHABA YA SANAFI before that when narrowly beaten. Sets the standard
7. SPEECHMAN – 5th behind BLESS (6) who was 4th in a Class 1 at this track last month. Not to
be dismissed
8. MR MELBOURNE CEN – Won a maiden at Chantilly over 1900m on March 15th. This is a step
up in class and might find a few too strong
Summary : A nice effort when fourth at this track in a Class 1 race last month BLESS (6) can be
too strong for his rivals. He was a narrow second to MARHABA YA SANAFI before his last outing,
who went on and won the Group 1 Poule d’Essai Des Poulains. IFACH (2) is getting better and was
a game-winner at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on May 5th in a Class 2 race. SPEECHMAN (7) needs
more than his most recent effort to win, but he does enter calculations, as does COLOMBIER (1)
who could be anything and can only improve off his debut win at Chantilly last month.

BLESS (6) – IFACH (2) – SPEECHMAN (7) – COLOMBIER (1)
R5 – PRIX D’ISPAHAN – 1850m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Group 1 – Group – Flat – EUR € 250.000
1. EREVANN – Looked in need of a return run when 3rd at Saint-Cloud in a Group 2 on May 1st.
Can be sharper for that outing. Sets the standard
2. ONESTO – Top class on his day, likely over a bit further. A good 2nd three runs back in the
Group 1 Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown last season. Makes a return off a break. Not to
be overlooked
3. LIGHT INFANTRY – Turns out quickly after an unplaced run at Newbury 9 days ago in a Group
1 over 1600m. Nice 3rd prior to that over 1600m in a Group 2 at Newmarket. Player
4. BUCKAROO – A winner over 1600m at Leopardstown on the latest run on April 4th in a Listed
race. Needs improvement to beat some high class rivals
5. ANMAAT – 2nd at Newmarket behind ADAYAR on a most recent outing over 2000m in a Group
3 event. A winner of the Qatar Prix Dollar last October over 1950m at this venue. Can make his
presence felt
6. FACTEUR CHEVAL – A good 2nd just ahead of EREVANN (1) when they met at Saint-Cloud
recently over 1600m. Top performer, if relaxing he can make presence felt
7. JUNKO – Out of the frame on the last outing. Won over 1900m at Chantilly in March in a Class
1 race. Capable of being involved
Summary : EREVANN (1) got a bit tired when third on his most recent outing at Saint-Cloud in a
Group 2 over 1600m at the start of May. A winner of the Qatar Prix Daniel Wildenstein last October
at this venue, he can be cherry ripe for this event and is the main selection. LIGHT INFANTRY (3)
turns out only 9 days after finishing out of the frame in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury. A
good third before that at Newmarket over 1600m gives him every chance of making an impact.
FACTEUR CHEVAL (6) was just ahead of EREVANN (1) when they met at Saint-Cloud when he
was second. If he relaxes he is a major player. A good second to Epsom Derby winner ADAYAR
in a Group 3 race at Newmarket when last seen, ANMAAT (5) can not be ruled out of being in the
shake-up.
