Thursday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 16:27, PRIX DU PONT NEUF-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, 7fT
Field: Synaran (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Alhaeba (Upstart), Pas Dansant (Fr) (Muhaarar {GB}), Mai Dire Mai (GB) (No Nay Never), Romanticon (GB) (Time Test {GB}), Noble D'Argent (Fr) (Romanised {Ire}), Acary (Fr) (Armor {GB}), Take Me On (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Rencontre Sportive (Fr) (Seabhac), Jel Pepper (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire}), Kenzel (Ire) (Zelzal {Fr}), Charming Zel (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Valdorcia (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Kozlovskha (Ire) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Royal Chapel (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Lady Tedsmore (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Sonatine (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}).
TDN Analysis: Last term's Listed Grand Criterium de Bordeaux victrix Royal Chapel is the only entry with a black-type success to her name in a wide-open renewal. Threats include Listed Prix Zeddaan runner-up and G3 Prix Imprudence seventh Kozlovskha and G3 Prix des Chenes sixth Synaran, who made a winning return at Chantilly last month. Alhaeba has nine outings in the books and is two-for-three this term, while Andre Fabre trainee Sonatine shed maiden status with a three-length tally at Saint-Cloud earlier this month. Rencontre Sportive, Jel Pepper and Kenzel have all attained black type and are worthy of consideration as is Stall Perlen's Take Me On, who posted a five-length debut win at Deauville in October before running sixth in this month's G3 Prix Djebel in his only other start.
