Francois Rohaut Stable Tour

Form profile

A winner on her first start this season in a 1 ½ m handicap, she wasn’t beaten far in a Class 2 handicap at Saint-Cloud.

Trainer says

She will run in a big handicap or in the second division of a big handicap, we shall see, over 1m3f. She is a really nice mare who always gives her very best, she is well handicapped and can win a handicap for mares between 1m3f and 1 ½ m. She has an entry at Clairefontaine on the 9th of August. She is very consistent and very easy to train.

Form profile

Winner of a handicap at Toulouse, she then ran well to finish sixth in another 1 ½ m handicap at Saint-Cloud.

Trainer says

She is going to run in another big handicap on the 1st of August at Clairefontaine. She has shown us that she has the ability and the rating to run in this kind of race. If it rains that won’t matter. Clairefontaine is always soft, and she will be our first runner of the meeting. She is not a certainty, but I think she will run well.

Form profile

Has had a busy season and is still looking for that elusive victory.

Trainer says

She is a little handicapper who is more than capable of winning a second division handicap. She finished seventh in the Prix Le Journal handicap at La Teste behind Lauderdale who I also train. She has a value of 32, which is fair and she should win off that mark. Deauville has been her target and if she has a good run over 1 ¼ m, she should be competitive.

Form profile

Impressive winner of a 1 ¼ m Quinté handicap on his last start at La Teste de Buch.

Trainer says

He won his Quinté last Sunday and went up in the weights, which means that he now has no race to run until the 15th September. I can’t understand that there is no listed, no conditions race for him, but that is the reality. So, we will have to wait and he will have a nice break. I would have loved to have taken him to Deauville, but as I said there is no race for him.

Form profile

Runner-up on his last start in a seven furlong sprint at Dax.

Trainer says

He will run in a big handicap over the mile. I think he will be in the second division of the Grand Handicap de Deauville, which is run on the 10th of August over the straight mile. He has dropped down in the rating and that should give him a chance in the bigger handicaps. He seems in great form, can go in any ground and I’m very happy with him.

Form profile

Runner-up in a nine furlong race at La Teste de Buch, she was beaten into fourth in a similar race on her last start.

Trainer says

She disappointed me a little last time out. I think she is better than her fourth place suggests. She looks good now and we are going to see if we can find her a conditions race at Deauville or maybe somewhere else. I hope that she can do better next time.

Form profile

Unbeaten in three starts over the mile, disappointed when finishing seventh in Group 3 race over 9 furlongs.

Trainer says

He ran badly in the Prix de Guiche and so we gelded him. He will be running in a Listed on the 5th of August I think. He has won a Listed on the all-weather and this will be a comeback after being gelded, so he might need this race. But he is coming back into form slowly but surely and he will have another run at Deauville a little later.

Form profile

Won his maiden in the provinces on his second start and then ran last in a claiming race over 1m ½ f where he was the favourite.

Trainer says

He is a horse for the claiming races over the mile or 9 furlongs at Clairefontaine or Deauville. He won his maiden at Tarbes and was a hot favourite at ParisLongchamp where finished stone cold last. We discovered he had a little issue but he is well now and ready for Deauville. He will run once at the start of the meeting and then again at the end.

Form profile

Incredibly consistent and winner of a mile handicap, he was the runner-up in a Class 1 race on his last start at La Teste de Buch.

Trainer says

He is entered in a race next Tuesday, but he won’t run. He ran a lot during the spring, and I don’t really fancy taking him to Deauville where he hasn’t got a lot of races as I don’t want to run him against his elders. I think I will give him a break and bring him back in the autumn to run in a mile Listed at ParisLongchamp. I will try to find him a little race for his comeback at the end of August, but the bigger races will be his main target.”

Form profile

A dual Group 3 winner in France, she was a little keen in the Commonwealth Cup where she weakened in the final furlong after the ground had turned too soft for her liking.

Trainer says

The French programme lacks sprint races and so we have to look elsewhere. Her main target is the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp, but she has to run somewhere before that and so we have decided to run her in the King George Qatar Stakes at Goodwood. After that she will run the prep race for the Abbaye on 12th September at ParisLongchamp. I like Goodwood where I have enjoyed considerable success and I am delighted to be back there, albeit not in person. Suesa had won in heavy ground in France, but in lesser races and the six furlongs at Ascot in that ground proved a bit much for her. She has a lot of natural speed and that was probably a bit too far. The good thing is that William was not too hard on her and she has come back in great form. Mentally she is very strong.

Form profile

Won his maiden on the all-weather this winter and finished sixth in a 1m 2 ½ f race at Dax.

Trainer says

He was gelded in the spring, as he was a little too opiniated. I will bring him back in a conditions race over 9 or 9 ½ furlongs and then he will have another race after that. He is too high in the handicap, so that option is not available. He can go in any ground.
