Black-Type Analysis: Half Sovereign the Horse to Beat in Prix Miesque

[Wandering Eyes]

Monday, Chantilly, France, post time: 13:10, PRIX MIESQUE-G3, €73,200, 2yo, f, 7fT

Field: Josefova (Fr) (Yafta {GB}), Magny Cours (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), Hello Avenue (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Miuccia (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Baklawa (Fr) (Stunning Spirit {GB}), Polly Shelby (Fr) (Space Blues {Ire}), Waramini (Ire) (Persian King {Ire}), Half Sovereign (Fr) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), Ananke (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}).

TDN Analysis: With the way Karl Burke's juveniles are going this term, Half Sovereign is a frightening prospect for the domestic fillies to contemplate, especially given her invaluable experience winning two novices and nurseries apiece and finishing second in Newmarket's £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes. Miuccia is back just a week after running fourth in the Prix des Reservoirs and may be best of the home team. [Tom Frary].

Monday, Chantilly, France, post time: 15:40, PRIX DE SEINE-ET-OISE-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, 6fT

Field: Roshvar (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), Spycatcher (Ire) (Vadamos {Fr}), Baileys Bachelor (Fr) (Supplicant {GB}), Megarry (Ire) (Inns Of Court {Ire}), Thunderbear (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), Tolebi (Fr) (Golden Horde {Ire}), Estepona (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}), Navassa Island (Ire) (Territories {Ire}), Laulne (Fr) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), War Bride (Ire) (Soldier's Call {GB}), Daylight (Fr) (Earthlight {Ire}), Charibelle (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}).

TDN Analysis: Penalised for his win in the Prix du Pin, Roshvar is back in calmer waters having contested the Prix de la Foret from a disadvantageous wide draw. Hardened veteran Spycatcher and the Listed scorer Thunderbear spearhead the obligatory overseas challenge. [Tom Frary].

Monday, Chantilly, France, post time: 12:35, PRIX ISONOMY-Listed, €54,900, 2yo, 9f (AWT)

Field: Strong Tea (Knicks Go), Space Waltz (American Pharoah), Regal Resolve (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Studen Kladenets (Tur) (Kircaali {Tur}), Madame Ly (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Arkansas (Fr) (Sottsass {Fr}).

TDN Analysis: The race that launched Montjeu all those years ago sees the prolific winner Madame Ly take on some unexposed and promising colts. They include Juddmonte's impressive course winner Regal Resolve from the Graffard yard and the Niarchos Family's well-connected Saint-Cloud winner Space Waltz from the Fabre stable. [Tom Frary].

Monday, Chantilly, France, post time: 14:30, GRAND PRIX DU NORD-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, 10fT

Field: Azimpour (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Poschiavo (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}), Swinguer (Fr) (Sottsass {Fr}), New Ground (GB) (New Bay {GB}), Love Me Tender (Ger) (Tai Chi {Ger}), Millar (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Spanish Breeze Cen (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Familly (Fr) (Goken {Fr}).

TDN Analysis: Surely this will be a confidence-restorer for New Ground, who was fourth in the Derby, third in the Grand Prix de Paris and Grand Prix de Deauville. Not seen since finishing fifth in the Prix du Jockey Club, the Prix la Force runner-up Azimpour is probably the only colt in his vicinity but may need the comeback. [Tom Frary].
