Tuesday, Chantilly, France, post time: 12:35, PRIX THOMAS BRYON-G3, €73,200, 2yo, 9f (AWT)
Field: Mirik (Fr) (Kameko), Space Waltz (American Pharoah), Al Zanati (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}), Pacifica Pier (Ire) (Palace Pier {GB}), Bourbon Blues (GB) (Space Blues {Ire}), El Vegas (Ire) (Almanzor {Fr}).
TDN Analysis: Charlie Appleby is double-handed in this contest, formerly staged over a mile at Saint-Cloud, with Al Zanati the clear first-string and Pacifica Pier the probable pacemaker. Runner-up in the G3 Autumn Stakes last month, the former will probably have too much for the Graffard runner Mirik whose Lyon-Parilly win was boosted by the runner-up going on to success at Group 3 level on Saturday. Andre Fabre's Niarchos homebred Space Waltz needs to improve on his second in the Listed Prix Isonomy over course and distance last month and Graffard knows what it takes having saddled the winner of that in Regal Resolve.
