[Wandering Eyes]

Sunday, Hoppegarten, Germany, post time: 15:40, DIANA-TRIAL DER BEST PLACE IMMOBILIEN-G3, €55,000, 3yo, f, 10fT

Field: Fire And Ice (Ger) (Masar {Ire}), Lady Charlotte (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}), Merveilleux Lapin (Ire) (Mohaather {GB}), Nicoreni (Ger) (Brametot {Ire}), Starlight Lips (Ger) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}), Stugardia (Ger) (Tai Chi {Ger}), Venedig (Ger) (Waldpfad {Ger}).

TDN Verdict: Last year's G3 Preis der Winterkonigin winner Nicoreni was second on her return in Cologne's G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen last month and is the one to beat. Lady Charlotte won over 11 furlongs at Listed level at Hanover and will benefit if it turns into a test of stamina. [Tom Frary].

Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 15:50, PRIX PAUL DE MOUSSAC-G3, €80,000, 3yo, 7fT

Field: Maranoa Charlie (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Selenien (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}), Burhan (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Houquetot (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Dos Mukasan (Fr) (Golden Horde {Ire}), Afogado (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Reach The Sky (Fr) (Calyx {Fr}), Silius (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Polyvega (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}).

TDN Verdict: Having flopped in the six-furlong G3 Prix Texanita last month, Maranoa Charlie is back at the trip at which he won the G3 Prix Djebel but is starting to look vulnerable. Third there, fellow TDN Rising Star Polyvega moves up in trip for the first time as connections try and find the key to the daughter of Polydream. [Tom Frary].

Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 16:25, LA COUPE-G3, €80,000, 4yo/up, 10fT

Field: Saint Etienne (GB) (Le Havre {Ire}), Wakaburn (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Casapueblo (Ire) (Le Havre {Ire}), Iresine (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}), Goliath (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Augustus (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Grand Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}).

TDN Verdict: Last year's King George hero Goliath bids to put a disappointing effort behind him in the G1 QEII Cup and get back on track. He will be tested by the popular veteran Iresine, but that multiple Group 1 winner may not be the force of old. [Tom Frary].

Sunday, Goodwood, post time: 15:35, THE WEATHERBYS / BRITISH EBF AGNES KEYSER FILLIES' STAKES-Listed, £70,000, 3yo, f, 9f 197yT

Field: Anna Swan (GB) (Almanzor {Fr}), Bowerchalke (GB) (New Bay {GB}), El Budoor (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Janey Mackers (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Miss Tonnerre (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Modern Utopia (Ire) (Sottsass {Fr}), Purple Rainbow (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Quebella (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Queen Of Thieves (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Rhapsody (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}), Tattycoram (GB) (Camelot {GB}), Waardah (Ire) (Postponed {Ire}).

TDN Verdict: Miss Tonnerre is the standard-setter on last year's G2 May Hill Stakes fourth, but Shadwell's El Budoor is one of the more interesting candidates as a daughter of the operation's classy stayer Enbihaar. Although she has to show significant improvement on her narrow Lingfield win 10 days ago, it is significant that she is backed up so soon. [Tom Frary].

Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 13:23, PRIX RIDGWAY-Listed, €55,000, 3yo, c/g, 10fT

Field: Daryz (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Poschiavo (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}), Stormy Donald (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Pacifiste (Fr) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Phineas (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}).

TDN Verdict: Two-for-two at this track this term, Daryz has huge appeal as a son of Daryakana with the right connections. Andre Fabre puts forward another progressive type in Phineas, who impressed at Chantilly in April and who hails from the family of Aventure and Plumania. [Tom Frary].

Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 13:58, PRIX MELISANDE-Listed, €55,000, 3yo, f, 10fT

Field: Zawan (Fr) (Shalaa {Ire}), La Bonne Etoile (Ire) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Safia (Fr) (Sottsass {Fr}), Champagne Dancer (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}), Ilda Rosa (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), La Brodeuse (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Badie (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), Bintabuha (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}).

TDN Verdict: TDN Rising Star Safia disappointed when fifth in the G3 Prix de la Grotte in April, but that form looks strong now and she has enjoyed a freshener ahead of this step up in trip. Godolphin's pair include the unexposed Fabre project La Brodeuse, a mile winner on debut at Chantilly last month who hails from the incredible Cassandra Go dynasty. [Tom Frary].

Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 14:33, PRIX VOLTERRA-Listed, €55,000, 3yo, f, 8fT

Field: Motu Propio (Ire) (Earthlight {Ire}), Troia (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Honeyflower (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Whataboutism (Fr) (Camelot {GB}), Medusa Merger (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}), Stupor Mundi (Fr) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Lips Vega (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Epsom Blue Cen (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}).

TDN Verdict: Troia was third in York's Listed Michael Seely Memorial Stakes last month and that form is strong in this context. Like the Melisande contender La Brodeuse, Whataboutism is a debut winner representing Godolphin and Fabre but unlike her stablemate she is dropping in trip having opened her account over 10 furlongs at Chantilly in April. [Tom Frary].

Sunday, Tokyo, Japan, post time: 15:40, YASUDA KINEN-G1, ¥347,460,000, 3yo/up, 1600mT
