4:00 Longchamp Tips

Bedtime Story brings plenty of top??'class experience into the Prix de Royallieu and looks one of the more proven fillies in the line??'up. After a smart juvenile campaign, she has been kept to Group 1 races this season and has held her form consistently. Her efforts behind Aventure, Quisisana and Whirl stand out as solid pieces of form, and on official figures her best RPR of 115 sets the standard here, with several of her rivals not yet tested at this level. She is often ridden patiently and finishes her races off well, suggesting that stamina could be her strength. The move up to 1m6f looks the right call, giving her more time to find a rhythm and use that finishing effort to better effect, considering the strong pace forecast. She has yet to get her head in front in a Group 1, but she has run with credit in the best company and this race looks slightly easier on paper. If she stays the extra distance, she has every chance of going very close.
