4:00 Longchamp Tips

Impressed with the way he quickened past Trinity College in the closing stages last time of the Gr.1 Grand Prix de Paris. Could have more to offer over this trip and handles the ground well. Main player.

Cualificar was 2nd at Chantilly under William Buick in the Prix Du Jockey Club. He was less good since then at Deauville in a Group 2 when 3rd of 5 but if staying the extra distance here he should go close.

Swagman looks the one to side with because he has been crying out for a bigger test of stamina. That comes today over 11.9 furlongs of Longchamp with soft ground. Great each way bet. Right man riding.

Back to form when second in a Listed race last time. Not given a hard race and likely using it as a prep for this. The step up in trip could unlock further improvement, and he has close form with favorite Leffard. Big player if he stays.

I like the look of TENNESSEE STUD in this one. Has Group 1 placed form by finishing well to finish third in the English Derby after being given too much to do by his jockey. The form of that contest is rock solid with the winner, Lambourn, coming out to take the Irish Derby next time out. Ninth placed horse, Delacroix, has since come out to take the Group 1 Coral-Eclipse at Sandown. Only concern is that my tip has not run for seventy days.

Been off the track for a year. Won his maiden when last seen, drawing right away. This was following on from a good performance in a GP2. Fitness needs to be taken on trust, but is in good hands and is worth an each-way bet.
