ONE MISTRESS (7) was acquired for â?¬200,000 at the Breeze Up sales last month and is likely to feature prominently in this opening event for unraced two-year-old fillies. Fabrice Chappet's charge will, however, be tested by Andre Fabre's runner SALVA MEA (5), EXPERT ADVICE (1) who represents the in-form stable of Henri-Francois Devin, and MONTEILLE (3) who will be ridden by Christophe Soumillon for trainer Pascal Bary.

Competitive two-year-old Group III. RAMATUELLE (7) impressed when winning on debut then lost nothing in defeat when finishing 2nd to an exciting/unbeaten colt last time and, on the strength of that form, is taken to bounce back to winning ways. ZORKEN (1) confirmed the promise of his debut victory by following up at ParisLongchamp and is likely to fight for victory, as is promising LES PAVOTS (5) who was 2nd in a Listed race having made a winning introduction. DANCE SIOUX (8) as well as British raiders BALON D'OR (3) and ZIGGY'S DREAM (10) complete the shortlist. Good race!

With five of the nine runners, Francois Rohaut ought to dominate this Group I event for Arabian horses, with improving AL GHADEER (1) likely to prove popular in the market and capable of landing the spoils after an impressive comeback win. Thomas Fourcy has RB KINGMAKER (3) in good form and his charge may spoil the party in his first start on French soil. Rohaut's AL RIFFAA (4), who finished 3rd here recently, and stablemate HAKA DU SOLEIL (2), a winner at La Teste last time, could have roles to play. AL DOHA (9) and MADRASSA (6) are consistent and can also get into the picture.

DON DIEGO DE VEGA (1) was an unlucky 3rd in the Listed Prix de Suresnes, won by phenomenal Ace Impact, but could make amends in this Group III contest and is taken to turn the tables on MANIATIC (6) who finished 2nd that day and is likely to be in the firing line again. SILAWI (7) is better than his last start suggests and capable of making his presence felt too, along with last-start winner ST JAMES PARK (4). Unbeaten CATCH THE STARS (3) cannot be discounted either.

A quality renewal of the Group I Prix de Diane which could go the way of unbeaten JANNAH ROSE (2) who was a stylish winner of the Prix Saint-Alary over 2000m. John & Thady Gosden, who won this race last year, can fight for victory with RUNNING LION (7) who ought to be competitive on the form of her win in the Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket. Already a winner of two Group I races, BLUE ROSE CEN (14) is likely to play a leading role if proving she is as effective over this distance. Unbeaten PENSEE DU JOUR (3) fits a similar profile, so also warrants respect. Supplemented to participate in this event, ELUSIVE PRINCESS (8) can use her sharp burst of speed to play a role in the finish too. Others to consider are NOVAKAI (1), who was beaten by the Epsom Oaks winner last time and LINDY (5), runner-up second in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, as well as NEVER ENDING STORY (9).

KNOW THYSELF (1) finished 3rd in a Group III event against male rivals and has a lot in her favour here on the strength of that form. LA PARISIENNE (2), runner-up in last year's Group I Prix de Diane was a well-beaten 9th on her reappearance but ought to have improved for that outing and is likely to pose a threat if bouncing back to her best. LA MEHANA (9) can make her presence felt too, with a drying track likely to suit her interests. GALIFA (8) appeals most of the remainder.

ROCK BLANC (4) has bounced back to form recently and is likely to mount a serious challenge, having returned to winning ways last time. Godolphin runners PARCHMENT (1) and SCOTTISH ANTHEM (10) are also capable of playing a role in the finish, as are DAR TOUNGI (8) and INVINCIBLE LIGHT (6) who have consistent form and experience at this level to stake a claim.

COGOLIN (2) ought to have a say too, if confirming the improvement of his most recent outing. CRUELLA DE VIL (5) and RAGGIO BIANCO (3) could surprise and are dangerous to dismiss.
