Listed Prix de Suresnes

The Aga Khan Studs are replete with top-class middle-distance runners at present and Tuesday's Listed Prix de Suresnes could have played host to another as Dolmalan (Zarak) showed an impressive late surge to extend his unbeaten sequence. "He's still a little immature, but it was pleasing that he was able to accelerate like that," trainer Mikel Delzangles said. "If he was a good horse, he was going to be able to make up a few lengths and he did. The Prix du Jockey Club is a strong possibility." Coming off...

Tuesday, Epsom, post time: 14:40, THE BETFRED BLUE RIBAND TRIAL STAKES-Listed, £60,000, 3yo, 10f 17yT Field: Balzac (Ger) (Japan {GB}), Menzies (Ire) (Australia {GB}), New Zealand (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Pearl River (GB) (Cotai Glory {GB}), Rebel Rocker (GB) (Cityscape {GB}), Saxon Street (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}). TDN Analysis: Ballydoyle send New Zealand to this Derby prep and his fifth in the Criterium International makes him the clear standard-setter, but the stable's three-year-olds are needing their reintroductions more than ever this year and he could be vulnerable. Balzac won over a...

Alain and Gerard Wertheimer's relatively unexposed 3-year-old colt Nitoi (Siyouni {Fr}) had just two prior outings under his belt heading into Friday's Listed Prix de Suresnes and called upon abundant reserves to claim a hard-fought career high in the 10-furlong Prix du Jockey Club trial. The Andre Fabre-trained homebred half-brother to G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern and G1 Hong Kong Vase hero Junko (GB) (Intello {Ger}) broke through in his Sept. 16 debut at this venue and ran second in ParisLongchamp's G3 Prix Noailles on black-type debut and seasonal return...

Friday, Newmarket, Britain, post time: 16:05, BETFRED JOCKEY CLUB STAKES-G2, £125,000, 4yo/up, 12f 0y Field: Ambiente Friendly (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Bellum Justum (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Silver Knott (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Divina Grace (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}). TDN Verdict: One of Europe's most dubious Group 2s, but this year it holds up well with the accomplished Silver Knott racing in his home town for the first time since the 2023 2,000 Guineas. Ambiente Friendly looks like a horse that needs a confidence boost and with Godolphin's stalwart in...

Handed his chance at black-type after impressive wins over 10 furlongs at Cagnes-sur-Mer in January and over 9 1/2 furlongs at Bordeaux-le-Bouscat last month, Ecuries Serge Stempniak's Ace Impact (Ire) (Cracksman {GB}--Absolutly Me {Fr}, by Anabaa Blue {Ire}) showed his Classic hand in Thursday's 10-furlong Listed Prix de Suresnes at Chantilly. Again exhibiting early keenness as Cristian Demuro sought cover towards the rear, the G1 Prix du Jockey Club and G1 Grand Prix de Paris entry was far from compromised by that initial expenditure of energy as he swamped the leaders...
