Firstly the Prix La Rochette G3 is for 2yos over 1400m with 4 runners so we have to go with the 11/10 favourite Nighttime – Head-Guyon and he's by Wooton Bassett.  Main rival would be Vardif by Siyouni with Head-Guyon in charge.

The Prix d'Aumale is for 2yo fillies and there are 5 starter led by odds-on favourite Green Spirit, a Kingman colt who is unbeaten in his first three outings.  Guyon rides for Christopher Head and is on 4/6.  Princess Petrol is a possible rival as a raider and is on 5/2 for Walker-Shoemark.  She's another St Mark's Basilica product.

The Prix Gladiateur is G3 with five runners and Double Major did the right thing for us recently so we shall stick with him although 4/5 is pretty skinny – Ferland and Guyon again.   Goya Senora is generally finishing at the right end of the field and is on 3/1 here for Barberot-Lecouevre.

Bit of rain around in the Paris region so the going may be affected.
