A brilliant race for a Monday afternoon 🇫🇷
The Arc runner-up Aventure is the headline act, but Grand Stars and Erle have the form to give her a race in the Prox Corrida at Saint-Cloud

The short Jumps season at Cagnes-Sur-Mer has now come to an end. Here are the time comparisons for all the hurdle races over the last 5-weeks 🇫🇷
The 4YO form looks the strongest, Mimetique, Proud Lucy and Shalaa Dancer should be capable of confirming this form away from Cagnes in the Spring.

Brighterdaysahead, July Flower and Kala Conti at Leopardstown 🇮🇪
Connections pay the bills and get to decide which route they take, but if she doesn’t run in the Champion Hurdle there will always be a question of “What if”

The opening maiden hurdle at Leopardstown on Saturday had a very French feel with 4 AQPS horses leading them home. Very good effort on the clock from both Kaid D’Authie and Koktail Divin

Winning time is very good, but you’d have to be worried by the comparison times with the maiden/handicap races over the last 4f. Don’t think Lossiemouth had the speed for the gallop today and I’d be sending her down the Mares route even if this was a career best

Interesting Final Speed figure for Langer Dan in the Long Distance Hurdle on Friday.
A speed of 29.06 mph, taken 2s after he crossed the line, would suggest he had quite a bit left in the tank 👀

Zillow makes his debut for Willie Mullins at Punchestown tomorrow 🇫🇷
He’s landed in a very deep maiden for his hurdles debut. Here are my thoughts when we discussed him on @thejumpsshow.bsky.social back in October

This is a pet hate of mine and the way the British system is so handicap reliant.
Beeley ran a career best in the Listed River Eden Stakes at Lingfield last week when finishing 2nd. Her connections reward for pitching her into that company is a 12lb rise from the handicapper

Todays best Jumps race is at Auteuil 🇫🇷
The heart says Hermes Baie, but the head says Losange Bleu and Jeu de Thaix are far too strong.
A 1,2,3 for the Papot silks looks an Even money shout to me

Really taking debut by Mandanaba at Chantilly on Tuesday 🇫🇷
The C&G maiden was a falsely run affair, but despite being 7s faster she was still able to match them in the final 3f. By Ghaiyyath, out of Mandesha (Prix de L’Opera), she looks top class #horseracing
