Frankel debutante ZANDY (1) has an attractive pedigree and was an early foal, which suggests she could come to hand early, so it may pay to follow her progress. Christopher Head's SEDUISANTE (3) makes plenty of appeal on paper too and is likely to go well on debut. OPERA MUNDI ( 4) and KEREMMA (6), whose trainer is no stranger to success at this racecourse, also deserve a mention.

Acquired for 100,000 euros as a yearling last year, MONDRIAL (6) has an attractive pedigree and could be worth siding with on debut. MR KODIAC (5) is bred to be precocious and is likely to play a leading role in this newcomers' race after joining the Andre Fabre stable for 85,000 from the Breeze Up sales in May. The pedigree of SAGANTI (2) also suggests that he could be up to running well on debut. ALI (3) completes the shortlist.

RAMATUELLE (5) is the only competitor in this race lot to have won a Group race so she will logically be the favourite, though her opposition is serious. In particular, HIS MAJESTY (2) who has a very similar profile to that of the winner of this event last year. Last-start winner MYCONIAN (1) and unbeaten CLASSIC FLOWER (4) have claims too in this competitive Group II event.

In this typically open Quinte+, a slight preference is given to DARIYM (2) on the evidence of his brilliant ParisLongchamp win two starts back and his handicap debut should be followed with keen interest. Consistent SISTER OF LOVE (4) ought to fight for victory having caught the eye last time, though the same could be said of FRENCH DEFENSE (3) in his first outing at this level of competition. During his most recent outing at Compiegne, MORE (11) finished an eye-catching 2nd and should have a say here if confirming that improvement over this shorter trip. Last-start winner RED CHARM (1), despite her 3,5kg penalty, and PIERREFITTE (8), who has shown her quality in conditions races, as well as consistent AMERICANO (9) also have their chances in an open contest.

A wide-open Group III event that could go the way of any one of several competitors. IMMENSITUDE (4) is on the rise and is preferred ahead of SEA THE LADY (2), who acquitted herself well against stronger opposition last time, and unexposed QUANTANAMERA (7) after an encouraging comeback outing following a hugely promising two-year-old campaign. Both KAMIYAH (3) and ARAMINTA (8) have leading claims too.

CHENNAMMA (7) left such a good impression when last seen that she can turn the tables on re-opposing LALOU (6) here. Consistent GUITRY (3) made a successful comeback at Saint-Cloud and deserves a lot of credit too, along with last-start winner BO LYWOOD (2) despite his penalty. TREZY LAND (4) can bounce back from a disappointing last start to feature.
