Sunday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 13:58, PRIX HEROD-Listed, €54,900, 2yo, 7fT
Field: Gazi (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}), Ikotofetsy (Fr) (Threat {Ire}), Siciliano (Fr) (Time Test {GB}), Dorzal (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Imperior (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), Aigeas (Fr) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), Major Neigh Sayer (Ire) (No Nay Never), Miss De Paname (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}), Thora (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Alarming (GB) (A'Ali {Ire}), Quiescent (GB) (Pinatubo {Ire}).
TDN Analysis: Wathnan Racing's dual nursery handicap victrix Quiescent bids for a fourth straight victory in this black-type debut and is one of many possessing solid claims in a wide-open renewal. Britain's four-strong raiding party also includes Deauville maiden scorer Aigeas and last-out winners Major Neigh Sayer and Alarming. The home defence features Andre Fabre representative Gazi, Listed Prix Delahante third Siciliano and Dalibor Torok trainee Dorzal, who posted a 5 1/2-length win at this venue last month. Miss De Paname and dual Group 3 fourth Ikotofetsy also boast course-winning form. [Sean Cronin].

TDN Analysis: Sunderland Holding's Day Of Grace completed a hat-trick of handicap victories when successful at Newbury last month and gets the assistance of Christophe Soumillon in this black-type debut. The William Haggas-conditioned daughter of G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches runner-up Sea Of Grace is accompanied by Listed Prix Charles Laffitte victrix Azaniya on this cross-Channel trek. The home team's leading lights include Listed Prix Coronation runner-up Anakova and Listed Prix Melisande third La Bonne Etoile. Former Aidan O'Brien trainee and G3 Park Express second Ecstatic, a 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard', has finished eighth in both starts for Satoshi Kobayashi and requires an uptick in form to feature here.
