Horses with solid form in the provinces can either be overlooked or at least under assessed when they come to race on a Premium track.

The Worlds Best Hurdlers
Losing so many good prospects to the UK and Ireland is not ideal, but the assumption that every good French hurdler leaves is clearly wrong.

Not Royal Ascot Day 3
I have studied this race for around 40 minutes, and I have struggled to make a case for anything else to beat him

Not Royal Ascot – Day 1
Just because it is Ascot week doesn’t mean that there aren’t other good meetings to enjoy, especially in France.

Prixdelahorse Tracker – Sierro Dino
There doesn’t appear to be an enormous amount of depth to this year’s 3-year-old crop, and he could develop into one of the better types.

Race of the Day - 4th May
The yard have had 9 winners and 39 placings from their 57 runners in 2023 and he looks like a horse who is likely to add to that tally.

Race of the Day - April 29th
The chances are fairly slim, but there is always the possibility that we could see a Triumph hurdle contender at Auteuil this weekend.

Prixdelahorse Tracker – Endavi
The form book will say that he finished 4th in a 5-year-olds and over conditions hurdle, but that doesn't begin to tell the story.

Auteuil Preview - 13th November 2022
The best chaser in training, a Triumph hurdle contender and an Old Warrior who is a big price in the feature race, what's not to like?

French Profiles - Diplomatie
She is lightly raced over hurdles and I do have a soft spot for Fillies who know how to win races.

Profiles - Record Art & Jipekaa Machin
Given that he is likely to be doing his best work at the finish, he should make a winning start to his British career.

French Profiles - Fils de Roi and Friendly Star
I will not be backing him to make a winning Irish debut at Galway on Sunday, but he could be one for next time.

French Profiles - Invincible Nao
Now trained by Gary Moore, he has the profile of a good horse, but what is his French form is actually worth?

French Profiles - High Game Royal & Kadex
I don't think that I have ever been asked "which horses could develop into decent 3-mile chasers in a few years?"

French Profiles: Margaret's Legacy
He has a much better record than the 0-4 on his form book page would suggest, including a 2-length 3rd placed finish behind Sel Jem

French Profiles - Ironica de Thaix
He looks to be a superb prospect for the Christian Williams yard and I am certain that there are races to be won with him this season.
