Nancy - Wed 20 May 2026
MISTER ALEX (6) has shown good improvement of late and arrives in search of a hat-trick, including one at thsi course. Nicely treated at the foot of the weights, he looks a leading contender but will need to keep a close eye on top-weight LE PETIT NICE (1), an ambitious raider with solid claims. The experienced JEANNE DE GUYE (5) comes here on the back of a convincing effort in a competitive event.. EADREAM (3) also merits respect after shaping well on his reappearance at Dieppe.
PRINCE D'EGYPTE (1) was pulled up on his sole start at Auteuil last autumn when strongly fancied, but he is given another chance here on his debut for Mickael Seror. He is well treated on that initial promise. LUNAROSA (10), should strip fitter from her reappearance and is open to improvement. L'ODISSAY (11) caught the eye with a strong finish on the Flat at Sable-sur-Sarthe and could have more to offer. MILLENIUM SMART (2) can put his greater experience to good use and is a lively danger.
LIKE IT OR NOT (1) has done little wrong since making his debut and looks to have found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark. The sole newcomer in the field, CAELIAN HILL (11) could be the main threat, particularly with the benefit of a favourable weight. VITALY (9) is progressing nicely and represents the capable Waldemar Hickst yard, so commands respect. Another raider from Germany, BEETHOVEN (6), is also worth a close look.
MAYDANA (10), a winner over this course and distance with Aurelien Lemaitre in September 2024, can bouce back to score. To get back to winning ways, she will need to see off MORSAN (5), who is fitted with first-time blinkers and could show improvement. The supplemented GOOD QUESTION (3) arrives on the back of his 14th career success and commands obvious respect. FIRSTCLASS (11) is best forgiven his latest below-par effort at Lyon-Parilly and could be a threat.
The veteran OCEAN STAR (2) returned to form with a solid performance at ParisLongchamp and has since joined the yard of Julien Phelippon. He looks capable of going one better here. VICTORIA SECRET (3), who is again supplemented, could pose a real threat having finished third behind the selection last time. DANAFLO (9) has shown signs of a resurgence recently and is not taken lightly. TERRITOIRE (1) remains competitive off this mark and is another that can shine.
An interesting race. A niece of dual Group 1 winners, ROSA DEI VENTI (8) made a pleasing impression on debut and looks open to plenty of improvement. PETIT ROBIN (4) is another with strong claims after showing progress at Strasbourg last time and should be involved in the finish. Representing the Wertheimer brothers' colours, RIPLEY (5) is expected to fare much better this distance. GREAT SPIRIT (2) has shown improvement and can be even more competitive this time around.
VITUS BERING (8) was not disgraced in a competitive race at Vichy earlier this monthand should appreciate the longer distance. Trained by Mathieu Pitart, he looks capable of playing a leading role. MIAIMAOU (2), an eye-catching finisher on her recent return, could prove a major danger. SAGUARO (7) showed improvement on his latest outing and is another to consider. AKAGERA (4) remains competitive off this mark and has solid claims as well.
A very open looking llucky last race. MR HARPIN (9) endured a troubled passage in the closing stages at Chantilly last week and could make amends. IRTYCH (10), partnered by Perrine Cheyer with whom he gets on well, also benefits from a valuable weight allowance and should be competitive. BLUE OCEAN DREAM (7) is likely to adopt a prominent role and could prove hard to peg back if allowed an easy lead. CASCADEO (8) arrives on the back of a course-and-distance success and warrants respect.
