1

L’Ienissei

Competes over longer trips and his two Deauville victories came over 1500m. Fourth over 1600m at Longchamp last time. This may be too much of a speed test.

2

Passalito

Has winning form over this course and distance. His latest victory came in a turf handicap at Saint-Cloud in March.

3

Toijk

Beaten in 14 starts since winning over this course and distance back in 2020. Not beaten far in third in a 1400m turf handicap at Longchamp last time.

4

Droit De Parole

Although beaten in his last seven runs at Deauville, he did have good performance here for a different stable over 1400m back in 2019.

5

Heartbeat

Respectable course and distance performances including a third of 16 here in January. But recent performances do not give confidence.

6

Santi Del Mare

A seven times winner, having put in a fair performance in a 1100m handicap latest.

7

Saga Timgad

Competes over further than this, and his victory here came over 1500m. Well beaten at Longchamp last time. Not very fanciable.

8

Chop Val

Three of his four wins – including the latest over 1600m at Chantilly in March – have come over further than this. Not beaten far on turf at Saint-Cloud last time.

9

Al Ula

Winner of just one of 23 starts – though that did come over this trip. Nothing much positive from recent starts.

10

Two Thank Yous

Probably back to her best when winning at Clairefontaine on her latest start, fighting hard in a closely contested finish.

11

Romantic Moon

Only twice a winner but frequently placed. Running on turf recently – including a 1400m win at Dax. But she very nearly won on the polytrack here last November.

12

Favaritx

Plenty of promise earlier in his career but can only claim a single win – over 1400m on Chantilly’s polytrack. Well beaten in handicap and claiming company lately.

13

Bocciatore

Victorious once at Deauville, and over this trip, in a handicap in 2020. Twice placed over 1600m at Chantilly this month.

14

Sapiens

Twice placed over this trip at Deauville last August. Too strong for seven modest opponents at Marseille on his penultimate start.

15

Madouss

Won her very first race but beaten on all 23 starts since though placed on plenty of occasions – including over this course and distance. Made no impact on turf here in July.

16

Launceston Place

A 12-times winner with his most productive years being in 2019 and 2020. Still capable when things fall right, scoring over this trip back in January.
