1400m – Turf
Agapi Mia | A close fourth under a light weight and at long odds in a course and distance handicap at this meeting last year. Not seen since winning a Chantilly handicap in May. |
Al Ula | Versatile tripwise but hasn’t won for nearly a year and that was on the all-weather surface at Chantilly. |
Ameera | She has been in good form, albeit at a lowly level. Easily too strong for 15 rivals in a 1600m claiming event at Saint-Cloud last time. |
Autumn Twilight | Consistent though his two wins have only come at claiming level. Having his first start at Longchamp. |
Buridan | Became disappointing when trained in the UK, but did win on the Chantilly all-weather on his second French start. Ran a good fifth after returning from a break here last time. |
Dantes | Has won both starts since joining this stable latterly when fighting hard to beat 16 rivals over this course and distance. Still looks decently handicapped. |
Domagnano | Wasn’t beaten far in two slow ground handicaps over this course and distance earlier in the year, and didn’t have an ideal trip here last time. |
Drogo | The winner of a claimer on the Chantilly all-weather earlier in the year, but otherwise fairly modest form, though not beaten far last time. |
Gold Captain | Having his first start at Longchamp and his five wins have all come at provincial tracks. However he is very effective at this trip. |
Havana Bound | Her two wins have been gained on an all-weather surface but she ran quite well over this course and distance last time, just running out of gas late on. |
Indyco | Lightly raced for a different stable since winning on the all-weather at Deauville nearly a year ago. Will need to improve plenty on his run here last month. |
Maavah | Didn’t make a big impact at the main tracks this year but has some good runs at provincial tracks including a win over this trip last time. |
Marillaman | His last two runs have been very encouraging especially his third of 12 over this course and distance last month. Best on a slow surface. |
Romantic Moon | After some consistent efforts at the smaller tracks she gained her first career success over this trip on her penultimate start. But struggled at Deauville last time. |
Stranger | Did win a minor event at a provincial track much earlier in the season but there have been some bad defeats since. Easy to oppose. |
The Champ | Came back from a short break to win a 1300m handicap here in May. But never seriously involved in a hotter handicap here last month. |
Torpen | Came close to pulling off a shock win in a course and distance handicap having also run well at Deauville previously. Has improved since joining this stable. |
Untitled | Did win over this trip at a minor track earlier in the year but has struggled on two subsequent starts, including here. |
