Angers - Monday 8th June 2026
DERAWAR (1) was not subjected to a hard race when finding Listed company beyond him at ParisLongchamp in May. His previous success at Fontainebleau was an encouraging performance, and this colt still appears to have significant scope for improvement. VICTOIRE MAGIQUE (6) looks the principal danger. He finished sixth in the same Listed contest when they met last month and had previously posted some strong form.NABAB K (3) is progressing with each run and cannot be overlooked. CUELLAR (5) appeals as the best of the remainder.
STREET CRY STAR (9) boasts an appealing pedigree. Her grand dam, Queen's Logic, was an unbeaten five-time winner, including the Cheveley Park Stakes (Gr.1)and two Group 2 contests. With such bloodlines, she can make a winning debut. VILLA MONCEAU (4) has shown plenty of promise on the PSF and is worthy of close consideration now switching to turf. MARBELLESA (8) ran a solid race when third at Chantilly and holds strong place claims. DELAJA (6) is best forgiven her latest effort and judged instead on her encouraging third at Saint-Cloud two starts ago.
YZYA (6) could be worth siding with in this open handicap. She produced a solid effort when finishing third at Saint-Cloud in early March and has since been competing in stronger company. DIVO (8) looks the main threat after two recent placed efforts and should make the selection work hard for success. PASANG (1) appeals as a solid each-way proposition from the top of the weights and is expected to be in the mix. OFF TO DUBAI (7) also merits consideration and completes the shortlist.
DEAL (8) is on a upward trajectory and can get the hat-trick of wins, having won over this track and trip in calmer waters in early May when last seen. His chief rival could be ARLONG FAL (5), who has fitness to prove but had solid form on the PSF late last year. He is a previous winner on turf. TRINQUETTE (6) has recent form in Listed company and can give another good account of himself. DARMORA (9) makes up the shortlist.
MAY IT BE (1) was found out in a Group 2 in Germany last month, but a win before that at Le Mans in a Class 2 race was a pleasing effort and she is marginally preferred ahead of STEP MORNING (10), who is consistent and can be sharper for a recent third on his seasonal return run at Dieppe in mid-May. NIAGARO (9) was fourth in the same Dieppe race and enters each-way calculations. AUTEUR (4) was a decent third at Parislongchamp in April and knows how to win. He heads the rest.
EXCESSIVENESS (5) has the ability to bounce back to form at nice odds. She is the tentative option ahead of SPLENDINO (7), who has been second on the last three runs and deserves to get his head back in front after a recent solid run at Parislongchamp four days ago. HADYA (10) is another to look at each way and can be on the premises after two second place runs recently. NICE RULER (6) makes up the shortlist.
LE SAGE (1) ran a respectable race when fifth last time out and had previously scored convincingly in a Class 4 handicap over this course in May. He is taken to come out on top. JAYCLE DE GREE (3) looks the main danger, having finished in the placings on three of her last four starts. TIMBER LIGHT (9) has been placed on his last two outings and should be involved at the business end. ORLHENA (7) produced a solid runner-up effort at Compiegne in early May and completes the shortlist.
MARINALEDA (11) has been knocking on the door with three consecutive runner-up finishes and looks capable of gaining a deserved success. KING TREZY (9) appears the main threat after a pleasing third-place effort in a Class 3 contest at Saint-Cloud at the beginning of May and should be in the mix once again. DARK SECRET (6) has finished in the placings on his last three starts and is another who commands respect. RAM SEA (15) shaped well when third in a Class 2 handicap at ParisLongchamp last month and can play a prominent role. BRITANIA (10) is also worthy of consideration and may prove best of the remainder.
