She looks to be one of the more exciting AQPS debutantes that we have seen so far in 2025.

There are a couple of key names to note from the hurdle races at Angers on Sunday

He needs to be supplemented for the race, but there is certainly a case to be made that he will deliver a return on that investment.

As the weather and more importantly the ground begin to turn, we are likely to see some of the better French recruits on the track.

As the winter nights get longer, the season at Auteuil is coming to a close, so it's time for a little reflection.

I liked the way he stuck to the task and I think the switch to hurdles and ultimately a longer trip, is going to bring out the best in him.

Whilst the shine may have been taken off Il Est Francais this weekend, French Racing would appear to have a ready made replacement in Kaadam

In time, he is going to be a very well handicapped horse when he returns to the larger obstacles.

An alternative is to look at the middle-distance races on the Flat in France and today's French Recruit, Le Bugiste, comes from that sphere.

This has been a record year for the list, both in terms of numbers of horses recruited and downloads.....

I can't think of another horse who has gone from running in a Grade 2 hurdle at Merano in Italy in June to a Novice hurdle at Ludlow.

She is likely to be a horse for 2026 and beyond rather than graded novice hurdle races this season.

The 3YO hurdle winner Loup Blond is the most interesting horse to note for the future.

Both Losange Bleu and Il Est Francais make their autumnal return at Auteuil on Saturday, here is my summary of what they're up against.

It is hard not to get excited about what he might be able to achieve now that he has begun to mature.

There is really only one place to start with Tuesday's Auteuil preview and that is with the feature race.

She looked very exciting in the Spring and her win in the Listed Prix Girofla in April was one of the best 3-year-old races of the season.

I have created a list below of 5 races from the Spring season that I think are worth some extra attention.

Delighted to be able to share this week's episode of Let's Talk Racing, where Josh and I discuss some exciting French recruits.

Arnaud Chaille-Chaille has been in incredible form in the last month and she might be worth a small investment if the 6/1 price holds.
