Form profile

Was just beaten in a Class 2 handicap over the mile at Saint-Cloud.

Trainer says

He has been second in four or five different Quintés. He is probably the most consistent Quinté horse in the whole country. He is going to run in Bordeaux on Monday and to be honest I think Monday will be his day. Normally you do see a couple of horses that are going to put it up to you, but he really does look like he has a very good chance going into that race. He is likely to be a short, priced favourite.

Form profile

Finished fourth behind his stable companion Memory Dream in a seven furlong Class 3 race at Saint-Cloud.

Trainer says

He ran the other day against Memory Dream. He is a lazy horse at home who would have needed the run. I’d imagine that there is very little between those horses ability-wise. I am going to drop him in grade just to give him a bit of confidence. He will run in a Class 4 in Strasbourg before coming back up to Paris. But he is equally a mid-90s horse.

Form profile

Built on his first run this season to win a nice Class 3 race over 7 furlongs at Saint-Cloud.

Trainer says

He was originally rated 97 before going to the UK and it kind of tapered off in the UK. He arrived at mine over the winter, and he had an excellent run back and it was no surprise that he won the other day. He won well in a Class 3 that was pretty much a Class 1 on paper. I would imagine we will take things steady and find a Class 2 somewhere. Of the evidence of the other day, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was capable of running in a listed race by the end of this year.

Form profile

Listed winner last year and won a Class 2 race on the all-weather at Chantilly on his final start last season.

Trainer says

He has a lot of ability. He won a Listed race and has run well in Group races. He hasn't been with me all that long. As he won a Class 2 in December, I don’t have that much of a programme for him. I think the most likely scenario is that he will go straight to a Listed race at Longchamp over the mile in the second half of May. He is a horse that seems to do really well on good ground. I wouldn’t be surprised though if he could handle a bit more cut in the ground now that he is older.

Form profile

Very lightly raced. Finished fourth on his only start in 2021.

Trainer says

I thought he showed a bit of ability and I thought he ran extremely impressively at Lyon. If I get him on an even keel this year, he might be interesting.

Form profile

Won three consecutive races over 5 furlongs last year and finished 7th in a Listed on his seasonal reappearance.

Trainer says

He won a Listed last year. He had a really good programme last year. He has won his Class 2, his Quinté and a Listed. I don’t know why but I think the horse is nearly a stone better at Chantilly than elsewhere. It really is horses for courses. He doesn’t like it when it gets too soft. He will run in the Prix Servanne, a Listed, at Chantilly next.

Form profile

Listed placed she was well beaten on her final start in another Listed at the end of last season.

Trainer says

Well And Truly showed us an awful lot at the beginning. She won her maiden in a Class 2 in the spring last year and got placed in a Listed. And then after that she wasn’t quite right. She is ready to go and win a black type race this year.

Form profile

Handicapper who was tried at Listed level and finished eleventh on his final start in December last year on the all-weather.

Trainer says

He has a lot of ability, but he is a very, very quirky customer. There were numerous times last year when he should have won, and you could clearly see that he was hanging in behind the horses. But he has the ability. He will run in a Class 3 next. He didn’t look great over the winter, but he is now coming into form.

Form profile

Finished fifth on her second start in a maiden on the all-weather at Chantilly.

Trainer says

She is a nice filly. Her debut at Chantilly was very good. She finished third and then the second time out I was really happy with her before the race, as she was super relaxed. I thought that was great until she got behind the stalls and she was still asleep. I then realised she was mad in season, she ran like it, she was kind of off the bridle the whole way but stayed on really well to finish fifth. She has ability. She’ll run on the 22nd in Compiegne over 7 furlongs, but I’m still undecided what is the filly’s best trip. Her next start will be important.

Form profile

Ran quite a few times as a two-year-old and finished seventh in a 6-furlong handicap on her second start this season.

Trainer says

She ran really well for her return. She didn’t have an awful lot of work to run in Fontainebleau on the 20th of March. I possibly made a mistake with her as a two-year-old by stepping her up in trip. She has quite clearly shown twice now that she is a six-furlong horse. She ran well again on her second start this season. She was in a photo for second on her side, but she ended up 7th because there seemed to be a bias on the far side. But she is equally capable of winning a handicap this year, but she confirmed to me that she needs cut in the ground.

Form profile

Finished fifth on his debut this season over 1m2 ½ f.

Trainer says

She made her debut in what I would imagine in an extremely good race. She didn’t really have the run of the race and was quite immature going to the start. I will keep her at a mile and a quarter probably for the next race, but she wants a mile and a half. She is capable of winning a maiden. I’d like her to win a maiden before too long and we will go from there. She can do with cut in the ground.

Form profile

Finished third in a maiden at Pornichet when stepped up in trip and on the all-weather.

Trainer says

She is a filly that I own together with my brothers. She is a very good looking filly and always impressed last year. I always liked that filly and I thought she would be a good two-year-old, but for whatever reason we never saw it on the track. She is just getting going now. I might just run her in a maiden on the 2nd of May. The reality is that she didn’t show much as a two-year-old and we have to hope that now with the winter gone she has progressed a little bit.

Form profile

Was the runner-up on her debut over 1 ¼ m at Saint-Cloud.

Trainer says

She is a lovely filly. We have taken our time with her and didn’t have her all that wound up for that debut of hers. It was extremely impressive, and I think she might just nick some black type somewhere. She might run at the end of the month. Or we might go to Lyon at the start of May so that she can win and go from there.

Form profile

Ran three times last season and finished seventh in an extended 9-furlong handicap at Chantilly on his last start.

Trainer says

This is an interesting horse to follow from a handicap perspective. He is rated 34, which is the English equivalent of 73. He was probably the most eye-catching horse in a maiden in Lyon last year. He finished fourth, but the third has been third in a Listed and the fifth has won a listed and tenth was third in a classic trial at Longchamp last week. He was a little bit unlucky on his last start. He could have arguably won that race, but he completely lost his position around the bend. He had nowhere to go and then flew home. He is perfectly capable of winning a handicap of his current mark. He could go to Chantilly on the 16th of May over the same trip as yesterday’s race. He should definitely win a handicap this year.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

Aristocrazy lights my fire at this point in time. Gestüt Schlenderhan breeds horses to be three or four-year-olds but she is already doing things extremely nicely. She is well bred out of a Dubawi mare. I like to think she will be nice.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She is out of Djidda who has produced something like seven stakes horses from nine foals. She’ll be ready to run probably in the next month or so. I have no doubt in her ability. I think like a lot of this family she is very mentally immature, so I am just letting her come to hand in her own time. But when she gets things together, I think she will be a nice filly to follow.

Form profile

Unraced.

Trainer says

He was bought at Tattersalls in December and does everything really nice. It’s a good German pedigree. I think he will come out later in the season. I’d imagine I would start him off over 7 furlongs or a mile, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he turns out one of those Dark Angels that will stay a mile and a quarter.
