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. [Sean Cronin].Friday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 16:03, PRIX DE CONDE JOCKEY CLUB DE TURQUIE-G3, €73,200, 2yo, 10fTField: Gentlemanlike (Fr) (Australia {GB}), French Colorado (Fr) (Al Wukair {Ire}), Command The Stars (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Czajkowski (Fr) (Flintshire {GB}), Waybreaker (Fr) (Galiway {GB}), Victoire Magique (GB) (Victor Ludorum {GB}), Proof (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}).TDN Analysis: George Scott trainee Command The Stars is the lone stakes winner in the field and his Listed Criterium de l'Ouest victory last month received a timely boost when that heat's second and third, Zambezi and Waiting For You, filled the places in this week's Listed Grand Criterium de Bordeaux. 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. [Sean Cronin].Saturday, Newmarket, post time: 14:40, THE BETMGM SUN CHARIOT STAKES-G1, £275,000, 3yo/up, 8fTField: Cheshire Dancer (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}), Cinderella's Dream (GB) (Shamardal), Fallen Angel (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Lady Of Spain (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}), Sparks Fly (GB) (Muhaarar {GB}), Spiritual (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Atsila (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}), Blue Bolt (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Cathedral (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Saqqara Sands (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}).TDN Analysis: All the current momentum is with the Prix Rothschild and Matron Stakes winner Fallen Angel, perhaps more than it is with the Falmouth winner Cinderella's Dream who has been on the go all season in a race that can throw up an upset. This renewal is enhanced by the inclusion of the unbeaten Lady Of Spain, who was making her seasonal bow when having her first run on turf as she ended Blue Bolt's sequence in the Atalanta. Dangerously fresh against some fillies who have been through the mill in recent weeks, she bids to emulate Tamfana and Saffron Beach in adding this to that Sandown staging post in recent times. This one does look to be between the four-year-olds, with the Celebration Mile runner-up Saqqara Sands possibly the pick of the Classic generation. [Tom Frary].Saturday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 13:58, QATAR PRIX DU CADRAN-G1, €300,000, 4yo/up, 20fTField: Alsakib (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Tashkhan (Ire) (Born To Sea {Ire}), Coetzee (Frankel {GB}), Sunway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}), Coltrane (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), Queenstown (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Caballo De Mar (Ire) (Phoenix Of Spain {Ire}), Sacred Spirit (Ire) (Kingman {GB}).TDN Analysis: The farcical scenario of having just three contenders lining up was averted with five last-minute supplementees ensuring a more competitive renewal of the weekend's opening Group 1 contest. Recent G3 Deutsches St Leger hero Caballo De Mar provides last year's third and likely favourite Coltrane with sterner opposition than initially envisaged, while Sunway bids to curtail a 13-race losing streak stretching back to 2023's G1 Criterium International. Aidan O'Brien and Francis Graffard have embellished their contingents by adding last week's Irish Cesarewitch third Queenstown and G3 Prix Gladiateur third Coetzee, respectively, with Graffard hoping the latter can run into a place in his first start at the highest level. [Sean Cronin].Saturday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 17:00, QATAR PRIX DE ROYALLIEU-G1, €300,000, 3yo/up, f/m, 14fTField: Survie (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}), Kathina (Fr) (Magneticjim {Fr}), Latakia (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Bibbiena (Fr) (Doctor Dino {Fr}), Shaha (Ire) (Cracksman {GB}), Santorini Star (Ire) (Golden Horn {GB}), Rabbit's Foot (Fr) (Golden Horde {GB}), Indalimos (Fr) (Cloth Of Stars {Ire}), Bedtime Story (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Consent (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Kiamba (Ire) (Australia {GB}), Island Hopping (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}).TDN Analysis: William Haggas annexed the 2022 and 2023 editions of this distaffers' test and sends forth the progressive G2 Park Hill Stakes victrix Santorini Star. Dangers include Juddmonte's G2 Prix Alex Head winner Latakia, who will bid to provide Francis Graffard with an 11th Group 1 success of the campaign, Coolmore's G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Prix Vermeille placegetter Bedtime Story, G3 Prix Lady O'Reilly victrix Indalimos and last season's G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe seventh Survie, who has hit the board in this season's G1 Pretty Polly Stakes and G1 Prix Jean Romanet. Sir Mark Prescott trainee Consent finished adrift of Indalimos and Santorini Star in her two most recent starts and requires more in this first attempt at the highest level. [Sean Cronin].Saturday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 13:23, QATAR PRIX CHAUDENAY-G2, €183,000, 3yo, c/f, 15fTField: Surabad (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}), Native Irish (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Emit (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Espoir Avenir (Fr) (Montmartre {Fr}), Enea (Fr) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Zingaro (Fr) (Kingman {GB}), Tennessee Stud (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}).TDN Analysis: This Arc Weekend opener features two from Joseph O'Brien's Carriganog base, with last year's G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud hero Tennessee Stud set to go beyond 12 furlongs for the first time. The G1 Derby third and G1 Irish Derby fourth has failed to win in four starts this term and will head postward coming back off a close-up fourth behind leading Arc contender Cualificar in last month's G2 Prix Niel. He will be accompanied by stakes-winning stablemate Emit, who was trounced five lengths by Espoir Avenir in August's G3 Prix Gerald de Geoffre over this course and distance. Of the remainder, the Francis Graffard-trained Listed Prix de l'Avre winner Surabad makes most appeal. [Sean Cronin].Saturday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 16:25, QATAR PRIX DANIEL WILDENSTEIN-G2, €183,000, 3yo/up, 8fTField: Qirat (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), Marhaba Ya Sanafi (Ire) (Muhaarar {GB}), Zabiari (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Quddwah (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Skukuza (GB) (Blue Point {Ire}), Ridari (Fr) (Churchill {Ire}), Dreamliner (Fr) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Princess Child (Fr) (Dariyan {Fr}), Darius Cen (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}).TDN Analysis: Last year's third Alcantor is back for more and has finished fourth three times since accounting for 2023 G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero Marhaba Ya Sanafi in March's G3 Prix Edmond Blanc. He finished behind Quddwah and Ridari in July's G3 Prix Messidor, but gained some measure of revenge when just over four lengths in front of the former in last month's G1 Prix du Moulin and sets the standard here. Stephane Wattel representative Dreamliner has annexed his last three starts, including August's G3 Prix Quincey, while Qirat notched a 150-1 shock in July's G1 Sussex Stakes before running fifth in York's G1 City Of York Stakes last time. Francis Graffard trainee Zabiari, a dual Group 3 winner, is another who merits respect. [Sean Cronin].Saturday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 17:35, QATAR PRIX DOLLAR-G2, €183,000, 3yo/up, 9 1/4fTField: First Look (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Bright Picture (Fr) (Intello {Ger}), King Of Cities (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Uthred (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}), Swagman (Ger) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Rashabar (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), Jenilat Bright (Fr) (Birchwood {Ire}), Bay City Roller (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Damysus (GB) (Frankel {GB}).TDN Analysis: Wathnan Racing's First Look defeated Goliath in August's G3 Prix Gontaut Biron and seeks a record-breaking eighth win for Andre Fabre, who also saddles last term's G2 Prix Eugene Adam winner Bright Picture. The John and Thady Gosden-trained Damysus, who bounced back off a below-par effort in the G1 Derby to snag Deauville's Listed Prix Nureyev, is another Wathnan entry. Rashabar has performed with credit in all seven starts since annexing 2024's G2 Coventry Stakes and ran second to Arc runner Alohi Alii in August's G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano, while Arc clues are also provided by G2 Prix Foy fourth Uthred, G2 Prix Niel second Bay City Roller and Niel seventh Swagman. Richard Hannon trainee King Of Cities, winner of the G3 Strensall Stakes last time, is no back number. [Sean Cronin].Saturday, Ascot, post time: 14:25, THE BETMGM CUMBERLAND LODGE STAKES-G3, £85,000, 3yo/up, 11f 211yTField: Al Qareem (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), Hamish (GB) (Motivator {GB}), Military Academy (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}), Sir Dinadan (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Tenability (GB) (Frankel {GB}).TDN Analysis: The unquenchable desire within Hamish will take him far in his bid for a second edition, having won it in 2022, but he encounters a true Group 3 bully in Al Qareem who is dead-set on a third consecutive renewal. Hamish's stablemate Tenability boasts the unusual distinction of having won three course-and-distance handicaps in succession, but up against these gruellers he faces something altogether different. [Tom Frary].Saturday, Ascot, post time: 15:00, THE JOHN GUEST RACING BENGOUGH STAKES-G3, £85,000, 3yo/up, 6fTField: Quinault (Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Annaf (Ire) (Muhaarar {GB}), Apollo One (GB) (Equiano {Fr}), Elmonjed (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Run Boy Run (GB) (Rajasinghe {Ire}), Kullazain (GB) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Prince Of India (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Tuco Salamanca (Ire) (Belardo {Ire}), Alfa Kellenic (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Jabaara (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), Lou Lou's Gift (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Nariko (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Tiger Bay (GB) (Harry Angel {Ire}), Celandine (GB) (Kingman {GB}).TDN Analysis: This features a rematch between the Shergar Cup Sprint winner Prince Of India and Elmonjed who beat him in the Listed Garrowby Stakes. It's not that long ago that Celandine was beating Time For Sandals in the Lowther and this is a lot easier than the Nunthorpe, while last year's Falmouth runner-up Jabaara is interesting dropped back in trip. [Tom Frary].Saturday, Redcar, post time: 15:20, THE WILLIAM HILL TWO YEAR OLD TROPHY-Listed, £208,735, 2yo, 5f 217yTField: Exclamation (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}), Ardisia (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}), Born Slippy (GB) (Ardad {Ire}), Song Of The Clyde (GB) (Sergei Prokofiev), Storm Esme (GB) (Palace Pier {GB}), Inca Heights (Ire) (Nando Parrado {GB}), Kanishka (Ire) (Coulsty {Ire}), Straight Ahead (GB) (Dream Ahead, Cotai Belle (Ire) (Cotai Glory {GB}), Isle Of Fernandez (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}), Mystical Eye (GB) (Expert Eye {GB}), Hollywood Treasure (Ire) (Gregorian {Ire}), Magistery (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}), Golden Brown (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}), Arduis Invicta (Ire) (Invincible Army {Ire}), Argentine Tango (GB) (Mattmu {GB}).TDN Analysis: The Harry's Half Million winner and Weatherbys Scientific runner-up Song Of The Clyde goes big pot-hunting again here, with his weight a reasonable one based on his sire's median. Based on that, Argentine Tango is thrown in at the bottom and as a Listed Empress Stakes winner who was placed in the Duchess Of Cambridge and Molecomb is a lurking danger to all. That also applies to Hollywood Treasure, winner of the Listed St Hugh's Stakes. [Tom Frary].Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France, post time: 16:05, QATAR PRIX DE L'ARC DE TRIOMPHE-G1, €5,000,000, 3yo/up, c/f, 12fTField: Giavellotto (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), White Birch (GB) (Ulysses {Ire}), Arrow Eagle (Fr) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Sosie (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Los Angeles (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Byzantine Dream (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), Quisisana (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), Kalpana (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Aventure (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Daryz (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Leffard (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), Cualificar (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Hotazhell (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Croix Du Nord (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Alohi Alii (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}), Minnie Hauk (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Gezora (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}).TDN Analysis: Leading contenders Minnie Hauk, Sosie, Daryz and Cualificar have received favourable draws, while the Japanese contingent enjoyed mixed fortunes as another large field has assembled for ParisLongchamp's autumn showpiece. Impressive G2 Prix Guillaume d'Ornano victor Alohi Alii fared best of the trio, while the hopes of G2 Prix Foy scorer Byzantine Dream and G3 Prix du Prince d'Orange winner Croix Du Nord were compromised by outside allocations. The latter's gatespeed offers hope to connections and supporters. Others to have been blighted by double-digit draws include last year's runner-up and ante-post favourite Aventure, G1 Prix de Diane heroine Gezora, and Ballydoyle second string Los Angeles.
