A pair of fascinating debutantes races from Saint-Cloud on Friday.

We probably haven't seen any Group 1 performers this early in the season, but there have been a couple of interesting performances.

He was keen, he pulled too hard, he was drawn wide and raced without cover, he hung to his right in the final furlong, yet still won.

"There are lots of reasons to be positive about this form in the weeks to come".

He is the best that I have seen, and he should be the standard setter for the early part of the campaign.

There is a chance of course that Grecian Storm is a class above this field, but it is not as certain as the market prices would suggest.

She confirmed she will handle soft ground and having had to switch, a length defeat would suggest she will at least be able to match....

If it wasn’t for the absence, I would have him as favorite for the race as he achieved much more than these in the Spring.

The absence is a concern, but that has been factored into the price and the booking of Mickael Barzalona should only be viewed as a positive

There is a small chance that we could see a Derby contender on Monday and they aren't running at the Curragh.

By the end of the season, I am in no doubt that she will prove to be the best horse in this field, with the potential to be a Group 1 Filly.
