TENNESSEE STUD – Very pleasing performance in 4th over 2400m at Parislongchamp in the Group 2 Prix Niel on the 7th of September 2025. Major contender if he stays the trip
Summary: TENNESSEE STUD (7) has competed strongly in two Group 1 Derby’ and hasn’t been disgraced. He will appreciate dropping in company and will be the one to beat. The only question that he needs to answer is if he will stay the trip but there is no reason to suggest that he won’t. ESPOIR AVENIR (4) won over this distance doing handstands in a Group 3 last time out and appears to be the nearest challenger to the top pick. He is up in class but will more than likely take it in his stride. EMIT (3) was behind the former at his latest outing and can place. SURABAD (1) has been a consistent performer and another honest run is on the cards.

Summary: COLTRANE (5) has proven himself as an ultimate staying type and although he may not be the horse he used to be, he has the class edge over this field which could carry him through. His only run in France was in this contest last year and this appears to be a weaker renewal which could see him grab the honors. SACRED SPIRIT (8) continues to get better with each outing and despite not meeting anything of this quality before, he comes from a powerful yard and could challenge if staying. SUNWAY (4) is capable on his day but needs to prove he stays. QUEENSTOWN (6) should have no issues with the trip and could emerge as a challenger.

Summary: Although she has been off since February, CHDIA (9) is given the vote to continue her winning trend and register a fifth consecutive success. A sound Group 1 winner in June ahead of the colts at Chantilly, HAJMAH (2) looks the biggest threat to the selection. LACARO DU CROATE (7) was a little bit disappointing last time but she stands a good each-way chance on her best form.

Summary: CELESTIAL (13) posted a very good effort in the benchmark race and is clearly on the upgrade. He has been well prepared for this race and looks a big contender. SERINES (4) keeps progressing and should handle the penalty after her solid last winning start. Veteran HARPER (7) is back in the game after a good last start success at Dieppe and must be respected. SOUVENIR D’ECAJEUL (16) is a solid consistent performer in this division and warrants the utmost respect. BULLACE (1) has little room for maneuver off the top-weight but still has a place chance.

Summary: ISAAC NEWTON (13) was a 380,000 Euros purchase at the Arqana Sales last year and justified his price with an emphatic win at Goodwood early August. With improvement likely, he looks the one to be on. NORTHERN CHAMPION (14) disappointed last time at Newmarket but this seems a slightly easier assignment. RIVER CARD (11) has nice progressive profile and must given serious consideration. INIS MOR (16) is two from two in UK and does not make the trip to France for tourism purpose.

Summary: ALCANTOR (6) ran in a stronger event last time out when he was beaten by under a length. He is yet to get anything more than a Group 3 and this could be his opportunity to strike and register Group 2 success. QUDDWAH (4) was a Group 3 winner two starts back before running with plenty of credit last time out, finishing just behind the top choice and with a bit of luck in transit, he will bid to add another Group race to his tally. DREAMLINER (8) is in outstanding winning form and it’s hard to knock his chances. He takes a step up in grade but it wouldn’t come as a surprise to see him feature given the way he is improving. SKUKUZA (5) makes his French debut and brings useful form to the table.

Summary: BEDTIME STORY (9) hasn’t won since her 2yo campaign but on the basis of her last start, she will be right in the action. LATAKIA (3) caught the eye with her latest victory and now takes a significant rise in class which will be her acid test but with the trip likely to be in her favor. SURVIE (1) was seen running in the Arc on this weekend last year but finds herself against same sex company this time round. She has maintained her consistent form and wasn’t far behind Bedtime Story when they met last time out in the Group 1 Vermeille. INDALIMOS (8) is yet to prove herself as a Group 1 sort but this will be the ideal test and if up to the task then she will be in the firing line.

DAMYSUS – Comfortable winner over 2000m at Deauville in a Listed race on the 17th of August 2025. Massive runner
Summary: BAY CITY ROLLER (8) has just found one too good in his two efforts on French soil and this shapes up to be an ideal spot for him to secure his second Group two win. DAMYSUS (9) only blotted his copy book in a Group 1 so is best forgiven for that and on his overall form, he will be a major contender to land his maiden Group success. FIRST LOOK (1) got a first taste of what Group success is like when winning last time out and despite having to concede weight to the improving 3yos, he can feature. UTHRED (4) ran well a good race in his latest outing and that piece of form could be worth a second look.

MON RICIN – A winner in a Class 3 Handicap over 2400m at Parislongchamp on the 31st of August 2025. Others preferred
Summary: PONDERADO (8) is surely a good starting point in this competitive handicap. He is as consistent as they come and could come on top over a trip that should suit perfectly. Back up in trip, KING TREZY (10) should be a lot happier than in his last start and is expected to make amends. QUIET KING (17) seems to be very competitive off his mark and could make his presence felt. HAVE DANCER (12) reunites with Michael Barzalona who won three times on him before and cannot be discounted.

ELCOND’OR FORLONGE – Three unplaced runs of late, a win before that over 5800m at Blain on April 13th in a Class 3 cross-country race. Has work to do
GREAT DU LARGE – Placed several times last year in cross-country races, the latter over 5400m at Compiegne on November 11th. Hard to rule out
JIRAIS AU BALLE – 5th on his last two runs, the latter over 4500m in a Class 4 cross-country race at Ploermel on September 21st. Player
KAP MY SUN – Decent 3rd in a Class 4 at Le Pertre on September 27th in a cross-country race. Can make her presence felt
CAPE OF LOVE – Unplaced last time out, 3rd previously over 4250m at Rostrenen on June 8th in a Class 4 chase. He needs to convince in this discipline
HONODDOR – Unplaced on the one run this year over 4700m in a cross-country race at Pau on January 10th. Unreliable and is best avoided
HIGH ROCKO – Credible 3rd on his last start over 4900m at Durtal in a Class 4 cross-country on January 26th. Can be competitive
JOLIE COEUR SOMOZA – 5th last time out over 4000m at Ploermel on September 21st in a Class 3 cross-country race. Unlikely to be a threat
Summary: KAP MY SUN (4) was a decent third on her last start at Le Pertre 7 days ago. The drop back in trip today could play to her strengths. She is given the vote ahead of GREAT DU LARGE (2), who has an absence to overcome. He had several placed runs in cross-country races last year and is hard to ignore on his return to action. JIRAIS AU BALLE (3) is capable of playing a prominent role, as is HIGH ROCKO (7), who was third at Durtal in January in a Class 4 cross-country race when last appearing.

HARRY GOLD – He has shown signs of promise in his two runs over hurdles, 7th at Lyon Parilly on September 16th over 3400m in a Class 3 race. A two-time flat winner who should not be overlooked
FLY OF NIGHT – Several unplaced runs, the latter over 3600m at Auteuil over hurdles on September 13th. Look for an alternative
LEJO DU SEUIL – 9th on his last run, 3rd before that over 3400m at Dieppe on the flat in a Class 3 race. Hurdling debut and warrants respect
LE CHOREGRAPHE – 7th on his last run over 3800m in a Class 3 hurdle at Moulins on September 17th. A winner on the flat over 2850m in August. Can place at nice odds
BORN ATTRACTIVE – Two unplaced runs, he failed to complete the course at Auteuil on September 13th over hurdles. Needs vast progress to be involved
Summary: SPEED COKO (4) will be ready to go after an absence since a pleasing third at Angouleme in a Class 4 hurdle in mid-April. He is a marginal choice ahead of PROMETHEUS (1), who has scored in his last two races. The latest success was over 3300m in a hurdle race at Prague (CZE). LEJO DU SEUIL (7) has shown talent on the flat in his two starts and can be expected to be well schooled. HARRY GOLD (5) is a flat winner who can improve on what he has shown so far over hurdles.

ZAUBA – 7th on the most recent start over 3700m at Le Lion D’Angers in a Class 3 hurdle on September 20th. Looks of limited ability
Summary: LOUVE D’IRLANDE (4) won her first two races on the flat, the latter of them over 3400m at Vittel in August. Her below-par run last month in a Group 1 AQ race was a step too far for her. She now tries hurdles and has the right profile to do well over them. A TRIBORD (2)showed a good amount of promise when third on his hurdles debut at Dax last month. He can make the selection work. L’ACTRICE (1) and NAFARROA (6) can fight it out for minor honours.

GOHA – Showed ability when racing at Auteuil on September 13th over 3600m on her sole run over hurdles. More can be expected
Summary: POMME SURETTE (11) has probably the best overall form of those that have raced on the flat. Her second at Angers was encouraging, and she can get off the mark on her hurdling bow. MAGIC TRILLION (12) has had a run over hurdles and a third on the flat at Moulins on her only other run in August was a good effort. She warrants respect, as does the unraced MALIGNE (15), who should be nicely tuned for her debut. GOHA (16) heads the rest.

Summary: BISTROT PARISIEN (13) has a taking profile. His dam was a smart operator over jumps. She won a Grade 3 chase and was placed in a Grade 1 hurdle. He will be well schooled for this debut. EMSILORD (1) has the benefit of race experience and can make life difficult for the selection. SATURNO BELLO (3) has shown ability over hurdles, and fared well enough when finishing out of the money on his last start in late July. He will be more focused this time. DANCE ALL NIGHT (5) is also worth considering.

He has the potential to do well over fences. BLANC PAIN (3) could be the main threat. He ran with promise over hurdles, the latest when third at Dieppe in a Class 3 race on August 31st. MARIANNE DU CHENET (5) has plenty of talent. She scored over hurdles in August and can have a say on her chasing debut.

Summary: KAOLAK (1) ran well on his seasonal return recently, with a pleasing second place over 3500m at Toulouse in a Class 3 chase early last month. He is given the vote ahead of KLOVIS DES MOTTES (2), who won twice last year over hurdles and fences, the latter of them in a Class 2 handicap chase at Auteuil. KAYO COCO (3) has been unplaced on his latest two runs, but ran well to be second at Durtal in January and warrants respect.

IMAGE D’ATALANTE (4) was a good winner at this course last month but has not been reliable. IQUEM (1) was unlucky at Vincennes and could be a real threat this time if staying on the trot. IZIA DE MONGIVAL (9) is best around this distance and could be a threat racing barefoot again.

LYRIC – Has struggled of late and was 10th in class C at Vincennes over 2100m on 19 September. Victorious in June and could score for Eric Raffin
Summary: LYRIC (16) has only been modest of late but is back barefoot and can score for Eric Raffin if showing her best form. LUGOS DE MONTAURAN (10) has improved of late and will not go down without a fight. LEO DES KECHES (1) is clearly talented but comes off three disqualifications in a row, so he is hard to trust but capable of winning when smart. LONELY RIDER (6) has yet to win a race but is capable of making the frame.

MUST DU BELLAY (14) has improved of late and could contest the finish with the assistance of Eric Raffin. MAGICIO BELLO (7) has gone close in both starts and should be right there at the finish once again. MIKADO D’AMOUR (15) has been a bit unreliable so far but would not be a surprise winner in this division.
