3.40pm – Gracieuse Mag @ 4/1
GRACIEUSE MAG improved from debut performance to score maiden success at Nantes. Continues to develop and rates highly. Lynx Du Berlais closed off last campaign with a fall at Dax. Showed ability in two starts prior and can start the new season with a big performance. Roxo Has is making a return after seven-month break. Second at Moulins in October and holds each-way claims. Gloire Au Pere is a place contender.
4.10pm – Eva Conti @ 14/1
EVA CONTI returns after an eighteen-month break. Would need to be race-fit however form prior to absence reads well. Talented individual. Donne Le Change is chasing a double after comfortable success over steeplechase fences. Needs to prove he can replicate when hurdling. Valentin Rose was last seen finishing second at Auteuil over 3600m. Nears a victory. Lady De Roche is proven at this venue and holds each-way claims.
4.40pm – Kazarov @ EVS
KAZAROV has finished runner-up past two outings. Narrowly beaten on both occasions and edging closer to a success. Prince De Bellouet is looking for a double after an eye-catching success at this venue. Bold bid anticipated. Twist De La Barre bounced back to form with a second at Angers latest. Interesting if replicating. Elisa Des Obeuax has the potential to finish in the frame.
5.10pm – Penny Whistle @ 10/1
PENNY WHISTLE was purchased at Arqana as a yearling and is expected to make an impact on debut. Standby For Morpheus represents first season sire Morpheus. One of two runners for A Hollinshead. Longny is by proven sire Rajsaman. Fair effort expected. Pic Silver could play a major role in the closing stages.
5.40pm – Totally Diva @ 8/1
TOTALLY DIVA was a promising fifth on debut beaten 1.2L and is more than entitled to improve for that outing. Looks a big player. Marajsaman made his debut in a C2 race at Nantes only beaten 4.25L. Likely to improve for that effort and can be considered. Great Deal and Heading To Mopti both went well in newcomer races at Metropolitan courses and are place chances.
6.10pm – Stunner @ 5/2
STUNNER is representing a top owner/trainer combination and is the most appealing of the newcomers. Zanzeti ran a solid race on debut and is entitled to have improved for that. Gallipoli and Avoiding Water are two newcomers who can be noted.

6.40pm – Kingston Sunflower @ 6/1
KINGSTON SUNFLOWER sets the standard for those who have run previously. Breaute, Paper Bird and World Peace are all newcomers who need to be considered.
7.10pm – Youmsovain @ 6/1
YOUMSOVAIN has won her past two outings including most recently by a neck in a Deauville handicap over 1900m. Looks the one to beat. No Niki No was a maiden winner two starts ago while went well on handicap debut finishing sixth and is of interest once again. Cafe Royal previously indicated talent on the flat and last seen over obstacles. Drops down in class for flat return and is of interest. Azer has been jumping of late and can be considered revisiting this level.
7.38pm – Giloulou @ 6/1
GILOULOU won at Pau last time out by a neck over 2000m in a handicap. Up in the weights but may feature once again. Madulain won convincingly latest by 4L and likely to go favorably back into a handicap. Lipstick struggled most recently but is capable at this level and had previously been in good form. One to consider. Mehzam is going well of late and rates a place chance.
8.06pm – Havana Way @ 10/1
HAVANA WAY was a good fourth at Saint-Cloud last time out in a handicap beaten 2L. An interesting prospect after a spell. Holdgreen managed sixth beaten 7L in a handicap at Fontainebleau over 2600m and dropping in class is a big player. Corcovado Mountain finished well beaten past two outings and down in grade makes the ratings. Estcourt and Piccolo Ristretto can both be considered for the placings.
