MOLLY MADRIK (7) is better than her last run would suggest and can win a race of this nature. MILLESIMA (1) is best judged on her two wins earlier this year and is a real threat to these rivals. MODE DU VALLON (13) is not easy to trust but can also get involved with the finish when staying in stride.

C1 – PRIX D’ARNAGE – 2300m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Condition – Flat – EUR € 15,100
- MAJOR STAR – 3yo gelding by King Edward out of Passing Sale mare Rose Star trained by David Cottin. All four of the mare’s progeny that have raced have won
- MARTAGNAN D ATHON – 3yo gelding by Telecaster out of Ange Gabriel mare Bella Dona D’Aton trained by P&C Peltier. Third foal to race with mare having produced one winner
- MAGNUM D’ERABLE – 3yo gelding by Beaumec De Houelle out of Cokoriko mare Gitane Bleue trained by Patrice Quinton. Mare won the Gr3 Prix Yves D’Armaille at Lignieres in 2019. Only raced foal has 2 wins and 5 places from 8 starts
- MARCHE AVANT – 3yo gelding by Doctor Dino out of Dom Alco mare Visionice trained by Francois Nicolle. Dam won on the Flat before going on to capture a Listed Hurdles race. Third foal to race, no winners
- MARIACHI – 3yo gelding by Karaktar out of Linda’s Lad mare Belle Ile trained by Yannick Fouin. Dam has produced two winners
- MERCI MIMI – 3yo filly by Jeu St Eloi out of Dom Alco mare Terenice trained by Yannick Fouin. Half-sister to 10-time winning hurdler Happy Day
- MAHAURI SEA – 3yo filly by Bathyrhon out of Great Pretender mare Bubble Sea trained by Gregoire Leenders. Dam ran 3rd in the Gr1 Prix de Craon and so far two of her foals have run for just one win
Summary: Field is made up of some interesting first-timers but based on breeding MARCHE AVANT (4) looks the runner to beat. His dam had a win and two places on the Flat before moving on to hurdle racing where she won a Listed race. MAHAURI SEA (7) is another from a strong female line as her dam was a five-time winner. MAJOR STAR (1) is a half-brother to Gr3 runner-up Glory Star and all of the dam’s progeny to have raced have won. MARTAGNAN D ATHON (2) is also well related.

- ALWAYS WELCOME – Won a conditions race over 2000m at Fontainebleau on 3 November. He has placed in a Listed race and seems to have struck up a winning combination with Delphine Santiago
- BELIEVER – A disappointing 7th race in a Conditions race over this course and distance on 29 October. That was his first run back after a 5-month break and he is better than that last run. Will be fitted with blinkers for this race
- LOVE IS GOLD – Ran 5th in a Handicap over 1900m on the sand at Deauville on 20 October. However, finished 3rd in a Handicap at this course in his penultimate start
- LADY ANGELINA – A reasonable 3rd in a Conditions race over 1650m at Machecoul on 2 November. Tries further for the first time and takes on stronger
- SEPULVEDA – Last time was 10th in a Handicap over 2500m at Saint-Cloud on 26 October. Ran 2nd over this track at trip on her penultimate start so must have a place chance at least
- SUNSHINE BABY – Finished 9th in a Listed race over 2000m at Compiegne on 10 October. Drops in class this time and is now trained by Mickaël Berto so improvement is anticipated
Summary: ALWAYS WELCOME (2) comes off a gutsy victory, and reconnected with winning rider Delphine Santiago, who gets a weight allowance, could notch up a quick double. BELIEVER (3) did not show his true ability in his first run back from a break but he has been racing well against stronger and must be considered. LOVE IS GOLD (4) finished fifth in a Quinté+ recently and has form at this course. SUNSHINE BABY (7) comes in with a light weight and drops in class.

- REMENBER CHOPE – Finished 4th in a Handicap over 1400m at Chantilly (sand) on 31 October. Tries this distance for the first time but should handle it
- FELINI – Unraced 2yo gelding by Zelzal out Dragon Pulse mare Shdedah trained by Edouard Monfort. Dam has produced just one winner
- LADY TEDSMORE – A decent enough 4th in a Maiden over 1600m at Saint-Cloud on 16 October. Coming into this with just 53kg on her back, could have a say in the finish
Summary: This race could be a close tussle between LIKE LINDY (4), who showed a touch of class when winning on the straight course at Deauville course in August, and supplementary entry WESTMINSTER COYOTE (3). The latter has only raced three times and has improved with each effort, winning confidently last time out. LIKE LINDY (4) could have the edge as she has a 1.5kg advantage. (4)LADY TEDSMORE (7) and HEY JO (2) have only raced twice and should make rapid progress.

- GLORIOUS CROSS – Was 8th in a Maiden over 1600m at this course on 29 October. There will need to be massive progress if she is to feature
- JOUE CHOPE – Ran 12th in a Handicap over 1400m at Chantilly on 31 October. She drops sharply in class and this race looks ideal for her to pick up a first win
- NOIRA – Encouraging 5th in a Maiden over 1600m at this track on 29 October. That was his first run after gelding and we should see even more progress this time
- PROCEED WITH SPEED – Finished 5th in a Claimer over 1500m at Deauville on 7 November. Running well enough to be competitive at this level, especially as he will be fitted with blinkers for this race
Summary: A Handicap looked too strong for JOUE CHOPE (7) last time but dropping to a Claimer with Sebastiano Deriu in the irons, she looks ideally weighted to shed her Maiden. PEPIER (4) only found his stable companion too good last time when fitted with blinkers. He retains the headgear and should be competitive. NOIRA (8) showed more promise in his first run after gelding and looks a threat while PROCEED WITH SPEED (9) is back on turf after two moderate runs on sand, and has blinkers fitted.

- PYRAVOL LAUJAC – This gelding is out of the 4 time winning mare Pyragon who featured in minor Handicaps in her career. He may need the outing
- ZENON – This gelding is out of the unraced mare Dona Pepita. Hard to make a case for and the betting could be a better guide

- FINE PLUME D’AVRIL – This filly is out of the mare Fine Plume who raced once and did not feature well in her career. One to respectfully pass by here
Summary: QUEEN D’AUNOU (6) is a filly that has run three times with promise and has the urge to break her maiden spell. The greenlight points in her direction to claim her victorious throne. FREENESS (10) made massive improvement when finishing second over a further distance and if the top choice fluffs her lines, she could take full advantage of that. GOT MAN (4) delivered a solid second over the track and trip and returns where it would be of no revelation if he makes amends for his last run. BLACK SHEEP (1) holds a solid place chance.

Summary: MOPSO (1) seems to be enjoying the French tracks against the Spanish surfaces where he started his career. His last run when finishing third was a credible effort and can pursue breaking the maiden shackles off his hooves here. KOWALSKI (2) is always there and thereabout and seems to be enjoying the flat surfaces. He can threaten the top selection. JAZZ ROQUE (5) has been featuring in the steeplechase races of late but he did finish fourth four starts back over the flat and can give a good account. BARON DE FLANDRES (13) debuts and could be anything in the making.

Summary: RED THE WEST (7) and CHUNKA WAKAN (2) are no strangers to each other when meeting in their last start and renew their rivalry in this event. They are confidently selected to fill in the first and second place position and certainly have the form to back them up to do so. EL PROFESSOR CHOP (10) is always finding himself being involved in the shakeup and in this sort of field, he can be entangled in the action. GIN GEMBRE (11) completes the quartet chance.

She steps down in class and has every chance to polish up on her current state. ON LOCKDOWN (2) was a solid winner over the distance and it would be of no surprise if he follows up on his win. KALEOCREEK (4) is always in the thick of things and if he remains wise here, he could give the top two a run for their money. ESSAI TRANSOFRME (3) wraps up the mix.

Summary: KUPKA (6) has improved with race experience and produced his best effort to date when dead-heating in a Chantilly handicap in mid-October with LA BELLA OTERO (4), who brings plenty of experience. The main selection remains lightly raced and has greater potential for progress. ZENBATI (7) finished one place ahead of them in second and can give another good account.

Summary: REGAL EYE (6) has shown promise in all three starts, with two second-place efforts on two of them. He was a pleasing runner-up at Deauville on November 1st in a maiden on his last start. He can get off the mark at the expense of WOLVERINE (2), who improved to be third on his second start at Lyon Parilly late last month. WITTELSBACH (3) could be one to look at each way.

- MEAUTIS – Fair 5th over 1900m on the PSF on October 20th in a Class 3 handicap. Course winner over 1800m in January. Can have a say at nice odds
- GIMANZOR – Three unplaced runs of late, 3rd previously over 2400m at Parislongchamp on May 7th in a Class 3 handicap. Among the leading each way options
- AUTEUR – Three unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 2400m in a Class 3 handicap on August 31st at Parislongchamp. Others preferred

- HER CHRISTOPHER – Placed in his last two starts, 2nd at this track over 2150m in a Class 4 handicap on October 24th. Can play a lead role

BLACK SAXON (4)has been second on his last two starts and looks like a danger. HER CHRISTOPHER (9) has fared well on his last two starts when placed and enters calculations. GIMANZOR (6) looks best of the remainder.
