12:23 Longchamp Tips

Tennessee Stud heads to the Prix Chaudenay with a solid profile and looks one of the main contenders in a small but select field. Joseph O’Brien’s charge advertised his stamina credentials when finishing third in the Epsom Derby, staying on well despite racing at a strong tempo. He confirmed that level of form by running fourth in the Irish Derby, again keeping on at the finish, and more recently shaped with promise in the Prix Niel, trial here at Longchamp, when fourth behind Qualificar, who is running in the Arc. On official ratings and RPRs he already sets the standard here, having posted figures in excess of 110 on several occasions, which makes him the one to beat. The step up to 1m7f is new ground, but his style of racing and the way he has finished his races suggests the extra distance should be within reach. Against just six rivals, he has fewer dangers to contend with, and his proven consistency at Group 1 and Group 2 level makes him the obvious benchmark for the field. If he stays the trip, Tennessee Stud looks to hold a major chance of getting his breakthrough win at this level.
