Form profile

Extremely consistent Gr2 and Gr1 performer over 1 ½ m, he was last seen finishing sixth in the Hong Kong Vase.

Trainer says

He is going to make his seasonal reappearance in the Prix de Barbeville. It will be his first attempt over this 3100m trip, but I think it will suit him well. He likes ParisLongchamp. It’s a good field and I’m not sure he will win, but I think he should run well. He is very consistent and only had one bad run last year, which was in the Arc where the ground was very soft. That race you must forget. He is a very nice horse and looks great.

Form profile

Lightly raced, he finished third in all of his four starts. He made good progress in the 1m2 ½ f handicap at Saint-cloud where he took the lead and maintained his effort until the post.

Trainer says

He runs in the Grand Handicap du Printemps. He is always third. He is a very nice horse. He was very laid-back last year and might be lacking a bit of experience for this kind of handicap but he carries a very light weight and might have a chance. I like him and I think he’ll do well.

Form profile

Travelled towards the back of the field and never quickened. Has now been dropped back quite a bit on his handicap mark.

Trainer says

He was a bit tired at the beginning of the year and so we gave him a bit of a break. He looks in good form and he will run in the Prix des Coteaux de la Seine on the 1st of May. He’ll run in the second division of the handicap for the first time, which will be easier for him and while he might not win straight away, we shouldn’t finish far. He doesn’t like the ground to be too soft, but that should be ok on Monday.

Form profile

Winner of a 1 ¼ m handicap last season, he then ran third in a very competitive handicap on the all-weather at Deauville where he had to come on the far outside and fought valiantly to the post.

Trainer says

He runs like Douriann in the Grand Handicap du Printemps. He has much more experience than Douriann. This is the kind of race he ran in last year. This is obviously his seasonal reappearance, but I think he can finish in the first five. He carries seven kilos more than Douriann, which is quite a lot.

Form profile

Consistent and versatile handicapper who races towards the back of the field on her last start on the all-weather at Chantilly, where she quickened in the final straight, but the leading group had flown.

Trainer says

She is running in the Prix de la Vielle Tour over 2150 metres. Her seasonal debut a few weeks ago was very good. She came back after a long break and she had a bad draw. She is well, she won’t want the ground to be too soft but I think it will be all right. It wasn’t too soft today. She should be ok.

Form profile

Enjoyed an early start to the season and was immediately behind the leaders in the 9-furlong Prix du Pavillon Royal where he quickened well and was just pipped on the post.

Trainer says

He is a nice older handicapper. He will run in similar races like the last handicap. He hasn’t moved in the weights, as they never move the second in a handicap in France, unless the third finishes five lengths behind them.

Form profile

A winner of two handicaps last season, has not raced since finishing 7th in a C1 race at Chantilly.

Trainer says

He got injured last year and is back in training now. He is a very good horse and hopefully he will run in a couple of months’ time. He will target the same type of races he has run in last year.

Form profile

Held back, she quickened easily under hands and heels to win comfortably over the mile on last start in September.

Trainer says

She has found it very difficult to come out of the winter. She wasn’t right and that is the reason why she hasn’t run. She has entries in the Poule, but she won’t run in it. She is a miler, and I will find a race for her.

Form profile

Was forced to run wide on the outside on her debut. She quickened well and only lost second place in the final strides.

Trainer says

She runs in the Prix Trevise on Sunday at ParisLongchamp. She ran very well first time out even though she didn’t have the best run. I think she was beaten by a very good filly trained by Jean-Claude Rouget. She looks well and she should confirm her good run from the other day. I’d be very disappointed if she wasn’t in the first three.

Form profile

Won his maiden when stepped up to 1 ¼ m on his seasonal debut where he came from behind to quicken well in the final straight.

Trainer says

Marzouk and Circeo had worked together before that last race, and they ran the same way as they had worked. They haven’t worked together since. Circeo has entries in a few races. We shall see how he works next week. He might run in the Prix de Guiche. I like him. He is more immature than I thought though. He is still growing a lot, but he is doing enough. If he runs well, we might go for the big races.

Form profile

Outpaced at the start, she travelled on the rail in mid-division in the 9-furlong race and made a good effort but couldn’t get to the leaders.

Trainer says

She is in the same race as Kenza Bere. She is in a similar category, except that she shows a bit more in the morning than Kenza Bere. This is her first time over this trip, and we are going to add some cheekpieces in the hope that it will improve her run.

Form profile

Travelled in mid-division in a Saint-Cloud maiden last time out, made some progress when coming out of the final bend but then dropped back quickly in the final straight.

Trainer says

He is a very nice horse, a bit difficult. He used to pull very hard and was a bit crazy. But I think he is settling down now and last time he ran over a distance that was too short for him. He is a miler or even a mile and a quarter horse.

Form profile

Winner on her debut, she was a bit keen on her second start when travelling not far from the leaders before making her effort when coming into the straight where she tried to take the lead but eventually weakened in the final half furlong.

Trainer says

She ran a bit fresh the other day. She finished fourth in a very good field and in very soft ground, which I don’t think suits her. I will run her in another maiden at Chantilly. It will be interesting to see her in better ground. I think there is a race on the 19th of May.

Form profile

Still a maiden, she ran her first 1m2 ½ f handicap for fillies where she travelled towards the back of the field without making much progress in the final straight.

Trainer says

She has been a bit disappointing in her races. She now runs in the Prix de la Muette which is a small handicap for horses with a low rating. I would be happy if she was placed.”

Form profile

Held up in mid-division in a ParisLongchamp handicap last time out, made good progress on the outside and took the lead two out but was just pipped on the post.

Trainer says

He is a nice handicapper who will win a handicap, or maybe even two.

Trainer says

She is running in the Prix de Manse today, like Visilanda. She is working ok, and she has a chance. I don’t think she is going to win but she will run well.

Form profile

A bit keen but then settled and produced a nice turn of foot to take the lead, which he lost in the final 20 yards to finish a neck from stable companion Circeo.

Trainer says

He is running in the 10-furlong Prix de Saint-James on Sunday. He ran well last time, he ran second. The runners in this next race are all pretty much on the same level, so he could win, or he could be third, but I think he will run well.

Form profile

A winner in the provinces last year, he took the lead in the Gr3 Prix de Fontainebleau but quickly weakened in the final straight to finish in his own stride.

Trainer says

He was very disappointing last time. He didn’t breathe and he was nervous. He was too keen. I have no idea what happened, as he is an easy horse to ride normally. He came back ok and where he will go next will depend on his next piece of work. The Poule d’Essai des Poulains was his target, but as I said, his next piece of work is crucial.

Form profile

Won on her first start this season over 1 ½ m after being patiently ridden behind, before quickening pleasantly in the final straight, continuing her effort all the way to the line.

Trainer says

This was a bit of a surprise. I thought the field was quite competitive and she was making her seasonal reappearance. She had not run since October last year. But she did it well. She is a very tall filly. I think she still has a lot of improvement to do but she is an exciting filly over the 1 ½ m or longer trips.

Trainer says

He is the brother of Sagamiyra. He is still a bit green, but if everything goes well, he has a chance to be placed or even win today at Chantilly. He works well in the morning and looks like he can quicken. He is a nice horse.

Form profile

Ran very green at the back of the field and while she tried to follow through, she weakened quickly in the final straight.

Trainer says

Her seasonal reappearance was a bit disappointing. She was still very green last time, they went slow and then quickened hard, which didn’t suit her. She is a mile and a half filly. She won’t go for the Prix de Diane, which will be too short for her. She will run on the 19th of May in a maiden over 1 ½ m.

Trainer says

She is running today but she is not at her best yet. She needs to run and should go ok, but she was born very late in May. I think she will need more time.
