    • Sunday, Deauville, France, post time: 15:50, SUMBE PRIX MORNY-G1, €350,000, 2yo, c/f, 6fT Field: Outfielder (Speightstown), Coppull (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), Gstaad (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Wise Approach (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Imperial Me Cen (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Venetian Sun (Ire) (Starman {GB}). TDN Verdict: TDN Rising Star Outfielder makes his eagerly awaited return, coming back off a 6 1/4-length debut rout at Churchill Downs in May, in a mouthwatering renewal of a race Wesley Ward has already plundered with No Nay Never, Lady Aurelia and Campanelle. All five rivals have black-type wins in the books with G2 Coventry Stakes victor Gstaad, G2 Richmond Stakes winner Coppull and G3 Albany Stakes and G2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes victrix Venetian Sun lining up to make it a Prix Morny for the ages. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Deauville, France, post time: 17:00, SUMBE PRIX JEAN ROMANET-G1, €400,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 10fT Field: Survie (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}), Cinderella's Dream (GB) (Shamardal), Quisisana (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), Royal Dress (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Grand Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Start Of Day (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Cankoura (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}), Bedtime Story (Ire) (Frankel {GB}). TDN Verdict: Sunday's stellar stakes card at Deauville is embellished by this distaffers' contest with G1 Falmouth Stakes heroine Cinderella's Dream setting the standard in heat won by the Gosden yard with Izzi Top in 2012 and Coronet in 2019. Francis Graffard trainee G1 Prix de Diane third Cankoura is one of the Godolphin representative's main threats and regained the winning thread in this month's G3 Prix de Psyche over this course and distance. Prix de Diane second Bedtime Story failed to fire in Goodwood's G1 Nassau Stakes when last seen, while last term's Diane runner-up Survie is another with claims. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Deauville, France, post time: 13:58, SUMBE PRIX KERGORLAY-G2, €164,600, 3yo/up, 15fT Field: Goya Senora (Fr) (Anodin {Ire}), Columbus (Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Sevenna's Knight (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Presage Nocturne (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Double Major (Ire) (Daiwa Major {Jpn}). TDN Verdict: Sunday's pattern-race extravaganza opens with a marathon annexed last year by dual Group 1 winner Double Major. Andre Fabre has won this five times and sends forth the ultra-consistent dual Group 1-placed Sevenna's Knight, who comes back off a third here in this month's G3 Prix de Reux. Presage Nocturne was a head behind Sevenna's Knight when third in May's G1 Prix Vicomtesse Vigier, while Columbus was a half-length adrift of Double Major when fourth in last month's G2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Deauville, France, post time: 14:33, SUMBE PRIX DU CALVADOS-G2, €119,000, 2yo, f, 7fT Field: True Test (GB) (Time Test {GB}), Nandita (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Fitzella (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), My Highness (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}), Polly Shelby (Fr) (Space Blues {Ire}), Arkansas (Fr) (Sottsass {Fr}), Ceramic (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Fitzella, from the in-form Hugo Palmer yard, made all to account for G2 Lowther Stakes third Staya in last month's G3 Princess Margaret Stakes and steps up in trip here. Andre Fabre seeks a record-equalling fourth edition and is represented by dual winner My Highness, who comes back off a course-and-distance conditions defeat of Ceramic earlier this month. Ceramic is also held by Polly Shelby on their running in a Listed heat at Vichy last month, while Scuderia Scolari's Mario Baratti trainee Arkansas is an interesting contender coming back off a three-length debut score at Chantilly last month. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Goodwood, post time: 15:35, THE VIRGIN BET CELEBRATION MILE-G2, £158,500, 3yo/up, 8fT Field: Balmacara (GB) (New Bay {GB}), Ice Max (GB) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Make Me King (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Persica (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Arisaig (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire}), Jonquil (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Saqqara Sands (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}). TDN Verdict: After two tries at shorter, the Greenham winner Jonquil returns to the trip over which he was second in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains and appears the obvious class act on that evidence. The fact that connections reverted in distance after the ParisLongchamp Classic suggests they harbour stamina doubts and any vulnerability will be exposed at this stiff track with the likes of the Diomed winner Persica in attendance. The Listed Eternal Stakes winner Saqqara Sands dead-heated in the Oak Tree last time and is dangerously unexposed. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Goodwood, post time: 14:25, THE VIRGIN BET PRESTIGE FILLIES' STAKES-G3, £80,000, 2yo, f, 7fT Field: Aylin (Ire) (St Mark's Basilica {Fr}), Jennifer Jane (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Moon Target (GB) (Cracksman {GB}), Orion's Belt (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Precise (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Spinning Lizzie (GB) (Kameko), Stimulative Trip (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Sukanya (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}). TDN Verdict: Sir Mark Prescott rarely has precocious two-year-olds, but in Moon Target he has one who also has the capacity to turn into a future star. Successful in her maiden and novice by a combined margin of 13 lengths, the relative of Inspiral bids to provide Heath House with a second renewal after Red Camellia won for the same owner-breeders in 1996. Ballydoyle have reputation in the Cork maiden winner Precise and she obviously has significant upside along with the Goodwood maiden scorer Aylin. [Tom Frary]. Sunday, Naas, post time: 15:25, TALLY-HO STUD IRISH EBF BALLYOGAN STAKES-G3, €60,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 5f 205yT Field: Bellaphina (Ire) (James Garfield {Ire}), Dance Night Andday (Ire) (Buratino {Ire}), Gutsy Girl (GB) (Blue Point {Ire}), Miss Attitude (GB) (Cityscape {GB}), Navassa Island (Ire) (Territories {Ire}), Queen Of Thunder (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Vespertilio (Fr) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), California Dreamer (GB) (Mehmas {Ire}), Carla Ridge (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Lady With The Lamp (Ire) (King Of Change {GB}), Sky Majesty (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Zuheila (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Last year's Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte and Firth Of Clyde winner Sky Majesty comes back to the course and distance of her confidence-restoring win in last month's Listed Yeomanstown Stud Irish EBF Stakes. Unlike her, Vespertilio has yet to race at this track and it could be that the Listed Dash Stakes winner relishes its nature. Interestingly, Johnny Murtagh pitches in Zuheila despite her defeat in a course-and-distance conditions event last time but as a The Aga Khan Studs homebred with only two runs under her belt remains open to much improvement. [Tom Frary]. Monday, Ripon, post time: 15:15, THE BRITISH STALLION STUDS EBF RIPON CHAMPION TWO YRS OLD TROPHY-Listed, £40,000, 2yo, 6fT Field: Al Shaham (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Amorim (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Anaisa (GB) (Ardad {Ire}), Awraad (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), Lam Yai (Ire) (Lucky Vega {Ire}), Saucy Jane (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}), Temple Of Athena (GB) (Magna Grecia {Ire}). TDN Verdict: Seemingly trained specifically for this by the Crisfords, who have won three of the last five runnings, the £200,000 Goffs UK Breeze-Up purchase Al Shaham will be a warm order after two course-and-distance novice wins by a cumulative margin of 6 3/4 lengths. Amorim may have been well-beaten by the Prix Morny-bound Wise Approach when third in Newbury's Listed Rose Bowl Stakes, but that form looks a lot better after the runner-up Rock On Thunder went so close in the Gimcrack on Friday.

    • Completing The Curragh's Futurity-Debutante double on Saturday for Aidan O'Brien and Wayne Lordan, Composing (Wootton Bassett) justified 4-5 favouritism without any hint of concern in the Group 2 contest. Always happy tracking Suzie Songs (Starspangledbanner) in second, the Silver Flash winner took control two out and forged a straightfoward 2 1/2-length success from that Moyglare filly to bring up a 15th renewal for her stable. “She's a lovely straightforward filly and when she got there she was very laid-back and very professional,” the master of Ballydoyle said. “If all is well, the Moyglare is the plan.” The post Wootton Bassett’s Composing Takes The Debutante To Complete O’Brien Curragh Double appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Making it win number 18 for Aidan O'Brien in Saturday's G2 Coolmore Stud Wootton Bassett Tom Cooper Irish EBF Futurity Stakes, Constitution River (Wootton Bassett) dominated the Curragh contest from start to finish to stake his Classic claims for 2026. Sent on by Wayne Lordan, the 5-6 favourite who had followed an encouraging debut second at Newmarket with a win at Galway turned it on two out to dismiss Geryon (Lope De Vega) by two lengths. “He's a lovely colt and was good and professional,” Lordan said of the stable's fifth straight winner of this always-important staging post and ninth in the last ten runnings. “He has a high cruising speed and hits the line good, so a mile will be no problem. He will probably better at it.” The post Wootton Bassett’s Constitution River Dominates To Give O’Brien 18th Futurity appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Britain's first seven-furlong Group 1 proved a humdinger on Saturday as Never So Brave (No Nay Never) found the line first in a thrilling four-way go for the Sky Bet City Of York Stakes. Like Saturday's Hungerford winner More Thunder a former member of the Sir Michael Stoute equine academy, Saeed Suhail's Summer Mile winner relished the furious pace to ultimately outstay specialists at this trip under Oisin Murphy. At the line, the Andrew Balding-trained 7-2 second favourite had half a length to spare over Lake Forest for a one-two for No Nay Never, with Maranoa Charlie (Wootton Bassett) and the even-money favourite Rosallion (Blue Point) also in the blanket two head margins away in third and fourth respectively.
