Race Preview
R1 – PRIX LYPHARD – POLYTRACK CHALLENGE – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – ALL WEATHER – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 52.000
1. LORD CHARMING – Not disgraced when sixth in Rome last time out. Improving and has won
three in Germany this year. May be best on turf but has a winning chance
2. MONTY – Disappointing this year in that he has yet to win but he has run some fine races and
is clearly not out of it
3. DAWN INTELLO – Not disgraced when fifth in Rome last time out. Last win was on this surface
in September. Should contest the finish again
4. ONLY THE BRAVE – All his best form has been in Germany. Only fifth last time out in France
and needs to do more to win this race
5. CENTRICAL – Disappointing last three starts. Won three in a row before that and could be the
surprise package trying the PSF
6. MR DE POURCEAUGNAC – Always gives of his best and won his latest start. Has also won
over this course and distance in 2020. Not out of it
7. INTEGRANT – Very consistent and won over this course and distance in August. Not disgraced
when third over this track and trip last time out and should fight out the finish
8. CICCIO BOY – Unreliable and was only sixth over this course and distance when carrying a
penalty. Might place
9. CLAYMORE – Won once in 2021 and again in 2022. Only modest in three starts this year but
has made the trip from the UK and deserves some respect
10. PALAIS DU LOUVRE – Needed his comeback run after a break when tenth last time out.
Fitter now and was in good form before that. Can upset
11. ZALACAIN – Modest last run when fifth. Last win was a claimer and he needs to do a lot
more to beat these rivals
12. MERKUR – Clearly unreliable and was only eighth at this course last time out. tries the PSF
and could improve but others are preferred
13. BABALA – Disappointing last run when eighth. Has some ability but may be best watched
trying this surface for the first time
14. WINTER’S LOVE – Well beaten last time out. Won a handicap over this distance on this
surface before that. Capable of improvement but others are preferred
Summary : INTEGRANT (7) is proven over this course and distance and gets a narrow vote to
beat a competitive field. MONTY (2) has not won this year but has run well in better fields than
this and can score if in the mood. DAWN INTELLO (3) and LORD CHARMING (1) were not
disgraced in Italy last time out and neither would a be a surprise winner in this line-up and they
deserve respect.

improvement but others are preferred

the PSF but others are preferred

distance last time out. Likely to do even better this time. Big chance
6. VERCORS – Not disgraced when fifth in both starts over a similar distance on the turf. Tries the
PSF and can do even better this time
7. CALL THE SHOTS – Runner-up on debut earlier this year. This is likely a tougher race but
deserves some respect. Place chance

France. Others are preferred

tougher task. Might place

making his debut. Can win
11. IGNOL – A two-year-old colt by Guignol out of Indyca who is making his debut. Watch the
betting
12. WOOTTON MELODY – A two-year-old colt by Wootton Bassett out of Sage Melody who is
making his debut. Watch the betting
Summary : VERTBOIS (5) showed some improvement when third over this track and trip last
time out. He does look the one to be wit this time. BROTHERS OF LILY’S (3) was not disgraced
last time out and should contest the finish again. VERCORS (6) has been fair in two starts and
could improve trying the PSF. ENSYAABY (10) makes his debut and could be ready to score.

distance last year off a higher mark. Can bounce back to score

run at Chantilly. Place prospects

involved at the finish

victories and thirteen places to his name

up at track in March

improve on recent to feature here

surprise winner here

needed before selecting

and distance last year off a much higher mark so could be of value this time. BLOOD CHOPE (6)
is in good form and should fight out the finish once again. BIENNE (3) won her latest start but
struggled in a handicap before that. HIS PRIDE (8) could be ready to hit the board.

involved at the finish once again

this event

follow

third over 1300m

can trouble the judge. Place chance

and if not needing the run can make the frame

are preferred here

ability and could get into the action

event

sharper this time round

this track. Showing good form and can go close
14. POLIVATE – Penultimate start was her first victory and followed up with a third at this track.

one better this time. BARBUDA (11) has yet to win a race but can contest the finish. POLIVATE
(14) is improving and should be involved with the finish once again. AKENATOR (7) returns from
a break but has ability and would not be a surprise winner.
