French Selections Tuesday 10th

R1 CHANTILLY [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DU PORCHENE – 1600m (a1m) – ALL WEATHER – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 34,000

REGISTRATION – Debut winner across the Channel on PSF at Newcastle in June but finished unplaced in both subsequent starts on French soil, the latest (6th) on this course over the same distance on 19 November. For another day
EL PEQUENIO – Rewarded for his consistency with an overdue first career victory on 12 November in a 1900m PSF handicap on this track. Ought to remain competitive under a 3,5kg penalty
INSPIRED IDEA – Progressive gelding with the form and experience to fight for victory. Runner-up in a similar course-and-distance contest on 19 November and a repeat of that performance could suffice here – the horse to beat
ROYAL ENCLOSURE – Debut winner at Vichy in July and has confirmed that promise by acquitting himself well in both subsequent starts, the latest (5th) on heavy ground in a 1600m Group II at Milan, Italy on 20 October. Not taken lightly
BATAL YOUMZAIN – Confirmed the promise of his 2nd on heavy ground in an 1800m newcomers’ race at ParisLongchamp in October with an encouraging course-and-distance 3rd on 19 November. Supplemented to run here and is expected to go well again
ROMANCE CERTAINE – Purchased for €130,000 last year and made a stylish winning debut over 1500m at Tarbes on 12 October. Cannot be taken lightly with improvement expected
Summary: Experienced INSPIRED IDEA (3) has done little wrong and it could pay to follow his progress. He finished 2nd in a similar course-and-distance contest last month and a repeat of that performance should suffice in this opening event. Last-start winner EL PEQUENIO (2), supplemented BATAL YOUMZAIN (5) and the filly ROMANCE CERTAINE (6) are best equipped to challenge the selection for race honours.

C2 – PRIX DES PISTES DE LAMORLAYE – 1600m (a1m) – ALL WEATHER – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 18,000
LARCIN – Unexposed at this level and didn’t go unnoticed when finishing 6th over 1900m in a PSF handicap at Deauville in his first start on this surface on 29 November. Shouldn’t be underestimated off a 0,5kg lower mark
FILLE DU ROI – Unreliable handicapper, especially on this surface. Won a 1500m PSF claimer at Deauville in December 2023 but finished unplaced in her 6 subsequent PSF appearances, the latest (14th) in a course-and-distance handicap on 29 October
RUBIS GOLD – Unreliable but experienced handicapper with solid course-and-distance references/form credentials. Shouldnt be hastily condemned for finishing 10th over track and trip on 19 November when resuming after a 2-month break – keep safe
JOAO – Experienced veteran handicapper who showed his form and well-being with an 1800m victory in a Le Croisé-Laroche handicap on 16 November. Carries a 2kg penalty for that win – more needed
PALIMERO – Experienced PSF handicapper soundly beaten in his last 4 starts, all on this course and 3 in handicaps – the latest (11th) in a Class 3 course-and-distance contest on 19 November. Others preferred
D DAY MAN – Unreliable but versatile performer with sound references in handicaps, especially on this surface. Well-beaten 13th in a course-and-distance handicap on 19 November but has dropped to his last winning mark – will tempt lovers of outsiders
RUMPLETEAZER – Experienced 24-start maiden with sound references in claimers and handicaps, seldom finishing far off the mark. Unplaced (10th) in a 1400m Nancy handicap on 17 November but races off a career-low mark with headgear removed
SABLE DU PYLA – Unreliable performer who won a 1400m Compiegne handicap on very heavy ground in October but failed to confirm that form/improvement when only 13th off this mark (under a 2,5kg penalty) in a 1650m Amiens handicap on 6 November
TIGER KING – Unplaced in his 2 starts on this surface, both in PSF handicaps at Deauville – the latest (8th) in first-time headgear over 1400m on 26 November. Headgear dispensed with and dropped 0,5kg in the weights
LOUVE PRECIEUSE – Last-start winner of a course-and-distance handicap on 19 November. Ought to remain competitive for victory, despite a 2,5kg penalty
LE CHAT BOTTE – Rejuvenated hard-knocking handicapper enjoying a purple patch, winning 2 of his last 3 starts including his latest over 2000m in a handicap at Lignières on 30 November. Not taken lightly at this level, even under a 3,5kg penalty
PRINCE DES DUNES – Unreliable but versatile performer with sound references in handicaps on both surfaces. Finished a well-beaten 15th in a course-and-distance handicap on 19 November but shouldn’t be hastily condemned
SUMMER FLIRT – Sparked improvement dropped to his current (career-low) mark when 4th at Le Croisé-Laroche in an 1800m handicap on 16 November. Lacks references on this surface
HOT SUMMER – Experienced hard-knocker with sound references in PSF handicaps, including a course-and-distance 6th on 19 November
SENEPARK – Versatile veteran with references in handicaps on both surfaces but remains unreliable/inconsistent. Well-beaten 13th in a 1700m PSF handicap at Pornichet on 23 November but could pop up again off a 1kg lower mark
ACHKI – Remarkably consistent performer in turf handicaps this year, despite growing long in the tooth. Lacks references on PSF but his eye-catching 3rd over 1400m in a Saint-Cloud handicap on 15 November was encouraging – candidate for success
HYPNOTIZED – Hard-knocking handicapper with sound references on turf, including a last-start 6th off this mark in a 1400m Saint-Cloud handicap on 15 November. Rarely seen on PSF but soundly beaten (unplaced) in all 4 starts on this surface
Summary: LOUVE PRECIEUSE (10) carries a 2,5kg penalty for winning a course-and-distance handicap last month but a repeat of that performance could suffice. ACHKI (16) is more efficient/competitive on turf but has the means to trouble the selection, which can also be said of RUBIS GOLD (3) who would’ve come on from a much-needed comeback outing. PRINCE DES DUNES (12), LE CHAT BOTTE (11) and LARCIN (1) have legitimate podium prospects.
SELECTIONS
LOUVE PRECIEUSE (10) – ACHKI (16) – RUBIS GOLD (3) – PRINCE DES DUNES (12)
C3 – PRIX DE LA PISTE D’AVILLY – 1600m (a1m) – ALL WEATHER – Class 3 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20,000
SICILIA – Runner-up in a similar contest on this course over the same distance in late October but slightly disappointing, although not disgraced, when only 6th in a courmake se-and-distance handicap on 19 November. Has the means to redeem herself
SURREY NOIR – Performed well on French soil at a lower level in conditions races on turf before finishing 12th in a course-and-distance handicap on 29 October. For another day
MAGIC PERSEVERANCE – Experienced in handicaps despite her age with sound references/form credentials at a higher level, and remains open to improvement. Not taken lightly despite finishing 12th over 1900m at Deauville on 3 November – dangerous from stall 2
SAXON VILLAGE – Unplaced in all 6 starts this year after a lengthy 20-month absence. Unlikely to trouble the judge on the evidence of his last start (13th) over 1300m on PSF at Deauville on 9 November. Others preferred
IT’S ALL A DREAM – Regaining form and momentum with each drop in the weights/ratings – confirmed as much with a good 3rd off this mark in a course-and-distance handicap on 19 November. Keep safe
MONTGAUDRY – Proven PSF handicapper with sound references/form credentials at this level, including a course-and-distance 3rd in his last start on 19 November. Candidate for success
SUNSHINEFLED – Honest handicapper whose experience and good recent form will stand her in good stead. Proved her competitiveness off this (career-low) with a reassuring 3rd over 1500m in a PSF handicap at Deauville on 20 November – will be a factor
DEVIL’SPEAK – Consistent, lightly raced gelding with sound references/form credentials and scope to improve. Finished 4th in a 1650m Amiens handicap (his only appearance at this level) on 29 September. Dark horse back in a handicap with headgear fitted
PEGO – Inconsistent performer on turf and an unknown quantity on PSF – never raced on this surface. Best watched for now after finishing 10th in a 1400m Strasbourg handicap on 11 November
LOVE AFFAIR – Reliable hard-knocker with the form and experience in PSF handicaps to fight for victory. Runner-up in consecutive starts (turf and PSF) before finishing 10th on heavy ground in a 1650m Amiens handicap on 6 November – can redeem herself
URI – Won a 1400m Compiegne handicap in June but struggled since – finished unplaced in all 5 subsequent starts, the latest (11th) on PSF in a 1300m handicap at Deauville on 27 November
LAURA TREZY – Sparked improvement (5th) dropped to her current mark in a course-and-distance handicap on 19 November. Could get into the picture at long odds
PETERHOF – Veteran handicapper in good form, albeit on turf, and physical condition. Runner-up in consecutive 1600m handicaps, the latest at Lignières on 1 November. Less efficient/competitive on PSF
MR RIEM – Finished 4th in back-to-back 2000m turf handicaps in April but unplaced (soundly beaten) in his 6 other appearances this year, the latest (11th) over 2000m at Munich-Riem on 10 November. Lacks references on this surface
RUE DES ORTEAUX – Won a 1900m PSF claimer at Deauville in January but finished unplaced in all 7 subsequent PSF appearances, the latest (15th) in a 1900m handicap at Deauville on 29 November. Others preferred
SAINT FIACRE – Unreliable performer who won over 1600m on turf in August but finished unplaced in all 4 subsequent starts/handicaps, the latest (9th) in a course-and-distance handicap on 22 November. Attractive outsider
OPERA – Inconsistent filly with undeniable means. Won a 1500m PSF handicap at Deauville in October but finished unplaced (8th) in a subsequent course-and-distance handicap on 19 November
Summary: LOVE AFFAIR (10) offers the most guarantees on the strength and consistency of her form and she’s good value to reconnect with success here at the expense of SUNSHINEFLED (7), whose last-start 3rd on PSF at Deauville was encouraging, and MONTGAUDRY (6) who can join that fight for victory if confirming/building on the improvement of his last start. SICILIA (1) and IT’S ALL A DREAM (5) complete the shortlist.

C4 – PRIX DE LA PISTE DES LIONS – 1600m (a1m) – ALL WEATHER – Class 2 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 53,000
CHIRIMIRI – Runner-up in a 1350m conditions race at Cholet on 3 November but lacks references on PSF – raced twice on this surface, the latest in August 2022. Not taken lightly
CENTRAL PARK WEST – Proven PSF performer with solid form references/credentials from 1400m to 2100m, including a last-start 4th in a 1900m Quinte+ on this course on 12 November. Keep safe
SHINNING OCEAN – Regaining form and momentum with every drop in the weights/ratings. Didn’t go unnoticed when 6th in a Quinte+ event on this course over the same distance on 19 November – dark horse off an unchanged mark
STANGHELI – Unplaced in back-to-back Quinte+ races last month, both on PSF – the latest (7th) over track and trip on 19 November. For another day
SKY POWER – Won consecutive course-and-distance handicaps in March but has flattered to deceive in 7 subsequent starts – the latest (15th) in a Quinte+ event over track and trip on 29 October. Will appeal to lovers of outsiders
ALFRED – Soundly beaten in consecutive Quinte+ races on this course in October, the latest (12th) over 1400m on 28 October. Best watched for now
HALEINE – Lightly raced filly with sound references/form credentials on this course over the same distance. Finished a well-beaten 16th in a 1600m Quinte+ here on 19 November but was found to be in season – has the means to redeem herself, respect
LEOPARDUCCIO – Never finished worse than 4th in 7 starts on this course and is currently at the top of his game – won 2 of his last 3 starts (both over track and trip), the latest on 19 November. Carries another 3kg penalty, so has to raise his game again
STAR ROCK – Regained form/momentum recently off his current mark in 3 starts at this level – finished an encouraging 3rd in a Quinte+ event over this track and trip on 19 November. Attractive outsider
LE FREINAY – Has a win and 2 places in 5 starts on this course over 1600m – that win was in a Quinté+ almost a year ago to the day off a similar mark (0,5kg higher). Finished 15th in a Quinte+ event over track and trip on 19 November but could have more to offer with headgear fitted – attractive betting proposition
MARHARRY – Inexperienced 3-year-old with undeniable means and sound references/form credentials, including a Quinte+ victory on turf in his only appearance at this level. Didn’t go unnoticed (5th) in a course-and-distance handicap on 19 November
CALADBOLG – Soundly beaten in all 3 PSF appearances, the latest (14th) over 1900m at Deauville on 29 November. Others preferred
MURCIANO – PSF specialist who didn’t go unnoticed when finishing 5th on a course-and-distance Quinté+ event on 19 November. Best watched for now from stall No 14
MY BLACK LADY – Honest hard-knocker with sound references in handicaps on both surfaces but she is unlikely to trouble the judge on the evidence of her last start (8th) over 1300m on PSF at Deauville on 27 November. Others preferred
THE FIRST DANCE – Last-start winner of an 1800m conditions race on PSF at Lyon-La Soie on 18 November. Can get a look off an unchanged mark but her deep No 15 draw does her chances no favours
GUALDA – Won a course-and-distance claiming race on 19 November when fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Shouldn’t be underestimated off an unchanged mark with that headgear retained
Summary: LE FREINAY (10) won a course-and-distance Quinté+ almost a year ago to the day off a similar rating, so he is worth chancing off a 0,5kg lower mark with headgear fitted in his third start after a rest during which he was gelded. HALEINE (7) had legitimate excuses for her disappointing last start (in season) and she retains the means to fight for victory if bouncing back to her earlier form. GUALDA (16) isn’t taken lightly under a lightweight and with cheekpieces retained, while hard-knockers CENTRAL PARK WEST (2) and CHIRIMIRI (1) have genuine podium prospects. LEOPARDUCCIO (8), STAR ROCK (9) and MURCIANO (13) appeal most of the remainder.

NICE PAULI – Fourth in a Handicap at Nancy over 1400m on 17 November. Unreliable and needs to improve

KEW BRIDGE – Finished 6th in a Handicap at Deauville over 1400m on 26 November. Others are preferred in this line-up

EYOTA TECA – A 3-year-old filly by Sioux Nation out of Ali Alexandra who makes her debut. Watch the betting
Summary: SPEEDSTER (3) showed signs of inexperience on debut. He did quicken nicely at the end of that race and can go one better this time. HANTANO (8) was only modest in a handicap last time out but has run some decent races and should contest the finish. SPRING HEART (10) is in good form and can get into the mix of things as well. MELANIES JOY (6) has some fair UK form and is not out of it.

Summary: ORANGE VIF (3) flopped on a heavy track last time out but is clearly capable of better and did run well at this track before that. SIMONS KING (7) is improving and it would not be a surprise were he to go one better this time. PRAIRIE GLORY (12) was just behind SIMONS KING (7) last time out and can be competitive as well. GO LOVE (6) is also in good form and has a winning chance.

Summary: LE ROCKEUR (6) remains in good form and likes this track. A confident pick. BOZZO (5) is holding form and should contest the finish over a course and distance that suits. CALYPSO (3) has improved of late and should not be too far away at the line once again. OPIANA (17) has a good draw and could be a threat attempting start to finish tactics.

C1 – PRIX COLONEL BEAUJEAN – 4600m (a3m) – TURF – Class 3 Race – Cross – EUR € 26,000

GENTILHOMME – Unplaced last time, won before that at this track over 4600m in a Class 3 cross-country race on October 5th. Can play a lead role
NUIT DEBOUT – 5th last time, 2nd before that over 4600m in a Class 3 cross-country at this track on October 5th. Key chance
ADSUM – Won last time over 4600m in a Class 3 cross-country at this track on November 20th. Player
COOPER DES ONGRAIS – Fair 3rd last time in a Class 2 cross-country at Haras-Du-Pin on October 27th over 4600m and a win before that at Le Touquet. Can feature

KAP MY SUN – Credible 3rd at this track in a Class 3 cross-country on November 20th over 4600m behind ADSUM (3). There is a bit of ground to find despite meeting on more favoured terms
HAPYVALEY DU SEUIL – Two unplaced runs of late, won before that over 4500m at Paray-Le-Monial in a Class 4 cross-country on October 15th, 2023. Not seen since December 2023 and will be better for this run
Race 2
Summary: GENTILHOMME (1) won on his penultimate start at this track in a Class 3 cross-country in early October and if emulating that performance he is the most likely winner. NUIT DEBOUT (2) will do his best to make life difficult for the likely favourite and was runner-up to him when they met in October over track and trip. ADSUM (3) has solid claims each way and will be in a good frame of mind after a win at this track late last month. COOPER DES ONGRAIS (4) also warrants respect.

Summary: MAGUELON (1) won nicely in first-time cheekpieces at this track last time and looks like a chaser worth following. He can score from PER FAVOR (4) who is making her chase debut and ran well when second at Agen late last month when last appearing. LADY DU CHENET (5) has form in a Listed hurdle in June at Auteuil and if taking to fences she can be involved at the business end. LOLLITA (6) heads the remainder.

Summary: SUPER BEND (1) has been placed on his last three starts all over fences. Back over hurdles this time he could be the most likely winner. MONCLAR DE MIX (6) will be in a confident frame of mind after a win at Nimes last month in a claiming hurdle and will be competitive. LA LOUISIANE (11) was narrowly beaten when she was second at Lyon Parilly in October and warrants respect. SPEAKER (9) makes up the shortlist.

EUFRASIA – Newcomer by Clovis Du Berlais, the dam won 15 races – over cross country. Will likely improve for this run and is best watched in the betting for clues
Summary: UNANIME (2) looked useful when winning by over five lengths at this track late last month and will be expected to follow up. DERSKY (3) seems to be progressing with experience and this flat winner is capable of making an impact. LORD BLAGNY (8) has shown plenty of talent on the flat, which includes a win at Le Mans in early November. He has a jumping pedigree and will be well prepared for this hurdles debut. LUCIOLE ROQUE (11) is also worth a mention.

Summary: ECU DE BALLON (7) scored over slightly further at this track last time over fences in a Class 3 race and seems to be getting better with race experience. He is preferred to CASONA (8) who was not up to the Listed class last time but has dropped in the ratings and can be competitive. LIBYA (12) was fourth at this track in a Class 2 chase recently and should be involved in proceedings. PAU CLERMONT (4) also merits consideration.

CRICRI D’AMOUR – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1900m at Deauville on November 29th in a handicap. Pass over
VICTORY D’OR – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that at Cavaillon on October 27th in a Class 3 race. PSF debut and drops in class
SOLTANA BELIEVE – Two unplaced runs of late, won before that over 2600m at Vitteaux on September 22nd in a Class 4 race. Unlikely to be a threat
AL HABISSET – Fair 3rd over 2600m in a Class 3 race at this track on November 25th and placed before that in a claimer earlier last month. Player
WESTERNER THEYSS – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over hurdles at Nimes on November 11th. Poor run on the flat in August at Pompadour over 1600m. Opposable
Summary: NO BAY (2) won in claiming company at this track and trip when last seen on November 19th and has a leading chance of following up. AL HABISSET (7) acts on this track and ran well to be third in a Class 3 race when last seen late last month. She can keep the selection honest. VICTORY D’OR (5) looks like a good option for the each-way backers. ARTIFACT (1) warrants respect and heads the remainder.

C7 – PRIX IRISMOND – 2600m (a1m1/2) – ALL WEATHER – Class 3 Race – Flat – EUR € 19,000
LEPARD – Won over 2000m in a claiming race at this track on November 19th. More is needed and the trip is a slight concern but can not be discounted
LOR BLANC – Won over this track and trip three runs ago in a Class 4 race on October 9th and has two placed efforts since then. Likes this surface and sets the standard
INTERSTELLA – Three unplaced efforts of late, won before that over 2800m at Vichy on July 18th in a Class 3 handicap. Needs to get back to form
SAKURACHAN – Unplaced last time, won before that at Royan over 2900m on September 15th in a Class 3 race. One to keep safe
SAINTE RITA – Credible 5th at Lyon La Soie over 2400m in a Class 3 handicap 7 days ago. Can be competitive
TARAJAL – Two unplaced runs of late, won before that over 2500m at Parislongchamp on September 12th in a Class 3 race. Might find a few of these too smart
SAISON FROIDE – Has five unplaced runs since a win over 2400m at Pau on the PSF on January 16th in a Class 3 race. Hard to recommend
Summary: LOR BLANC (2) has been in good shape recently and won over the course and distance three runs back in early October and has two decent-placed runs since at other tracks on the PSF. He is preferred to the recent winner LEPARD (1) who scored over 2000m at this track in mid-November when last racing. SAINTE RITA (5) seems at home on the PSF and can have a say in proceedings. SAKURACHAN (4) stays well but all of her wins have been on turf.

IDEE DE CHEVAL – Good form of late, placed three times and then a win on the last start over 1500m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on November 19th. Player
IVORY SPRING – Fair 2nd last time over 1500m in a Class 3 handicap on November 19th behind IDEE DE CHEVAL (3) at this track. On better terms he can be competitive
EDITED – 5th on the latest run at this track on November 19th over 2000m in a Class 4 handicap. Down in trip and his best form has been at Lyon La Soie lately
THREE DREAMS – 5th last time over 1500m in a Class 3 handicap on November 19th behind IDEE DE CHEVAL (3). Needs a few lengths to find
Summary: IDEE DE CHEVAL (3) did the job last time at this track when beating some of today’s rivals. He has the most to fear from IZASTEP (1) who is seeking a hat-trick of wins and scored in a claimer last time. This is his first start for new connections. IVORY SPRING (4) is 1kg better off with the main selection, having been second to him on November 19th in a Class 3 handicap. He can not be overlooked on slightly better terms this time.
