BIRR CASTLE (2) will find this event a bit less daunting than his previous outing in a Group 3 race at Parislongchamp when he ran a credible race. He was third two starts ago in a Listed race to the very useful AMERICAN FLAG over 1600m in March. He makes a big step up in trip today but he should stay. BOLSHKINOV (3) is the marginal top rated in this line-up, he is another that takes a significant step up in trip and if relaxing he is the likely danger. DOUBLE MAJOR (5) should have no worries with the distance and looks the best of the remainder.

EL MEASTRO (4) is progressing with each run and ran a solid race when finishing third at Lyon Parilly on his most recent start in a Class 2 race on May 13th. He can get his first win today. NAVAL ACADEMY (1) ran a nice race at Vichy when he was third over the 1600m trip last time and could make life difficult for the likely favourite. ROI DE L'AIR (2) can figure with an improved effort from his second at Hoppergarten, and make the frame. BREVANDS (5) will need a good bit more to win than his second in a claimer last time but can be on the premises.

LE FREINAY (2) looked useful when winning at Saint-Cloud earlier this month and can progress from that and be difficult to beat. SIVKA BURKA (9) is another that looks like she has more to come, and can play a lead role in this event. TOMILA (7) looks the best for the each-way backers after a nice effort when third on her latest outing at Bordeaux Le Bouscat. EXUBERANCE (8) should progress from her last run and has place claims.

A good second at Saint-Cloud over 1400m on May 1st, REGALIEN (1) can go one better and get back in the winner's enclosure. ESTACITY (9) was ahead of REGALIEN (1) when they met at Senonnes-Pouance on April 12th and ran a fair race on his most recent start, he can be involved at the business end. Has been shaping well recently, with a fair run when fourth at Parislongchamp on his most recent outing over 1400m, he enters calculations. MY BLACK LADY (2) has dropped to a reasonable rating, she is capable off her current mark. SCARFACE (7) has run well in his last three starts since blinkers were applied and he could also be in the shake up.

17:00 Angers (France) (3YO plus)

Two good runs so far this year by CHIRIMIRI (8) both over 1200m, the latest at Fontainebleau in a Class 2 handicap. He can once again give a good account of himself. ELUSIVE FOOT (9) has been given a chance by the handicapper and can be involved off a lenient mark. Top weight WONDER BOY (1) is the each-way banker after a run of placed efforts in 2023. O TRASNO (5) is another who has been placed every time since winning at Mont-De-Marsan last July off a 5.5kg higher rating, he is overdue a win.

NORTH HUNTER (6) has been showing enough in claiming races recently to suggest a win is not far off. This looks like a good opportunity. AUENWOLF (1) won two claiming races before a fourth-placed effort at Compiegne in a Class 3 race over 1800m last time. Back over a bit further today he has another decent chance of playing a lead role. ONARIA (5) is going for win number three in a row after a recent dead heat last month at Nort-Sur-Erdre on April 16th. MON RICIN (2) was a winner over 2400m only 12 days ago, and warrants respect.

LASAIR (5) has plenty of experience in these type of races and should be too good for her rivals. FRONDAISON (2) can only improve off her debut run at Bordeaux Le Bouscat over 1200m 15 days ago when finishing fourth in a non-claimer. LADYSHOW (6) was very green on her debut over 1100m at Le Lion D'Angers in March and can progress from that and relish the drop in grade and the bit further to race over.

A course and distance winner back in November last year in a Class 1 race MORMONA (1) can follow up on his recent success over 2800m at Compiegne on May 2nd. FASOL (4) has plenty of talent and ran a reasonably good race at Saint-Cloud when last seen when finishing fourth. He poses the biggest threat. FORCE DE L'AUBE (8) has been off the track for a few months but should be fit for her return and can not be ruled out at this venue as she is a course and distance winner last October. OPERA GIFT (3) makes up the shortlist.
