Friday, Hoppegarten, Germany, post time: 13:20, 35TH WETTSTAR.DE – PREIS DER DEUTSCHEN EINHEIT-G3, €55,000, 3yo/up, 10fTField: Atoso (Ger) (Guiliani {Ire}), Petit Marin (Ger) (Flamingo Fantasy {Ger}), Quest The Moon (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Koffi Kick (Ger) (Zarak {Fr}), Delgardo (Ger) (Best Solution {Ire}), Eagle Emblem (Ire) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Santagada (GB) (Soldier Hollow {GB}).TDN Analysis: Stall Salzburg's veteran Quest The Moon, successful seven times at pattern-race level and winner of this event last year, confirmed his well-being with a defeat of Petit Marin, Atoso and Eagle Emblem in August's G3 Spreti-Rennen when last seen. His chief threats come from the Classic generation, headed by Listed Dusseldorf Derby-Trial winner and G1 Deutsches Derby also-ran Delgardo, who heads postward coming back off a confidence-boosting success in a Hannover conditions heat in August, and G3 Hamburger Stuten Meile victrix Santagada, who ran sixth in the G1 Preis der Diana and a close-up fourth in last month's G2 Badener Stutenpreis. Rennstall Darboven's multiple Listed winner Koffi Kick completes the line-up.

Andre Fabre has snagged a record seven editions and sends forth Godolphin's Powai, who has the edge on Alain and Gerard Wertheimer's Proof on a line through fellow Wertheimer homebred Mature. Victoire Magique defeated Proof on debut at Lyon-Parilly last month, while Francis Graffard's similarly undefeated representative Gentlemanlike makes his black-type bow returning off a four-length tally at Chantilly in July. Derby second and Irish Derby third Lazy Griff annexed this contest last year. [Sean Cronin].Friday, Ascot, post time: 16:05, THE BETMGM NOEL MURLESS STAKES-Listed, £100,000, 3yo, 14f 34yTField: Arabian Force (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Circus Of Rome (GB) (Circus Maximus {Ire}), Defiantly (Fr) (Kameko), Fantasy World (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}), Many Men (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Nightwalker (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Push The Limit (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), Too Soon (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}).TDN Analysis: Third in the Great Voltigeur, Arabian Force should be winning this if he stays the trip, which doesn't look guaranteed on pedigree. Push The Limit looked ready for the distance when second to Arabian Force's stablemate Tenability in a 12-furlong heritage handicap here last time and may give him most to think about. [Tom Frary].Friday, Dundalk, post time: 18:30, IRISH STALLION FARMS EBF LEGACY STAKES-Listed, 2yo, 5fTField: Controlled (Ire) (No Nay Never), Howd'yadoit (Ire) (Nando Parrado {GB}), Jack The Bachelor (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Namiid (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), Sir Alfie (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Sirius A (Ire) (Palace Pier {GB}), Ipanema Queen (Ire) (Sands Of Mali {Fr}), Aegina (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), By The Lake (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Rosie Frith (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}), Soulful Diva (Ire) (Soldier's Call {GB}), Strait And Narrow (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), Treasured Royal (Ire) (Nando Parrado {GB}), Xerling (Ire) (Sioux Nation).TDN Analysis: Another of Ballydoyle's rare selection of geldings, Controlled came alive in first-time blinkers in a Naas maiden last month and has obvious appeal. Ipanema Queen beat Controlled's stablemate Kansas in the Listed Curragh Stakes in August and probably didn't like soft ground last time. [Tom Frary].Friday, Dundalk, post time: 19:30, IRISH STALLION FARMS EBF STAR APPEAL STAKES-Listed, €28,500, 2yo, 7fTField: Andab (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Eleven A (Ire) (Calyx {GB}), L L Koulsty (Ire) (Coulsty {Ire}), Straight Up (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Suspicious Mindz (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), Which Wolf Wins (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), Fairy Oak (GB) (A'Ali {Ire}), Lookingforarainbow (Justify), Moments Of Joy (Justify).TDN Analysis: Andab got close enough to the heavily-hyped Albert Einstein and subsequent Phoenix hero Power Blue in the Marble Hill in May and his fourth in the Coventry and second in the Prix Francois Boutin makes him the one to beat here. Interestingly, Aidan O'Brien has opted to send Straight Up back into action just 10 days after his debut win at Listowel and Wayne Lordan picks him in preference to the Chesham third and Flame of Tara runner-up Moments Of Joy. [Tom Frary].Friday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 14:18, PRIX MATCHEM-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, 7fTField: Nizam (Fr) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Libyan Pharoah (Fr) (American Pharoah), Kaadi (Ire) (Soldier's Call {GB}), Dynamitic (GB) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Mise En Boite (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Misunderstood (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Scandalo (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Summer Sail (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Vadinska (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), Morgan Bay (Ire) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), Temptable (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Jokla (GB) (Zarak {Fr}).TDN Analysis: Haras d'Etreham's G3 Prix des Chenes winner and G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere third Misunderstood and Gousserie Racing's Kaadi are the only stakes winners on display and hold the key to this open renewal. The latter has finished out of the money in just two of 21 starts, but both may be vulnerable to progressive types. That category includes Francis Graffard trainee Vadinska, who makes her fifth start coming back off a Le Lion d'Angers conditions score in August, and the twice-raced maiden winner Morgan Bay, who flashed home late to finish a close-up fourth at Dax in her second start three weeks ago. Temptable, another Graffard nominee, Listed Prix Amandine third Jokla and last year's G3 Prix Francois Boutin placegetter Scandalo all have winning form and merit respect.
