Sunday, Chantilly, France, post time: 16:30, QATAR PRIX DU JOCKEY CLUB-G1, €1,500,000, 3yo, c/f, 10 1/2fTField: Daryzan (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), Dolmalan (Ire) (Zarak {Fr}), Hankelow (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Alam (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Gusto (Ger) (Zarak {Fr}), Hawk Mountain (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Gostam (Ger) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Segall (Ire) (Sottsass {Fr}), Oxagon (Fr) (Frankel {GB}), Komorebi (Ire) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Campacite (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), Pearled Majesty (GB) (Persian King {GB}), Canadian (Tur) (Bodyguard Hero), Montreal (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), A Boy Named Susie (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Constitution River (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}).TDN Analysis: Impressive Listed Dee Stakes victor Constitution River has been handed a nightmare draw out wide in 15 as he bids to provide Aidan O'Brien with a third triumph following St Mark's Basilica in 2021 and Camille Pissarro last year. He is joined by stablemates Hawk Mountain and Montreal. Dangers are aplenty, with the undefeated Aga Khan Studs duo Daryzan and Dolmalan faring better during Thursday's draw. The former, a Francis Graffard-conditioned half-brother to Daryz, attained TDN Rising Star status with a stunning debut display at Saint-Cloud earlier in the month and is the choice of retained jockey Mickael Barzalona, while Mikel Delzangles candidate Dolmalan went three-for-three after a defeat of Montreal in this venue's Listed Prix de Suresnes last month. Delzangles is also represented by Al Shaqab Racing's G3 Prix Greffulhe winner Alam. Andre Fabre has two nominated and sends forth G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains second Komorebi and Poulains 12th Segall, while Germany's leading juvenile and unbeaten G2 Bavarian Classic hero Gostam will test his mettle from a favourable stall. Britain's threat comes from Poulains third Hankelow and the €72,000 supplementary entry Oxagon. [Sean Cronin].Sunday, Tokyo, Japan, post time: 13:40, TOKYO YUSHUN (JAPANESE DERBY)-G1, ¥570,000,000, 3yo, c/f, 2400mTField: (Reichsadler {Jpn}) (Siskin), Matenro Gale (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), Kenton (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}), Altramuz (Jpn) (Isla Bonita {Jpn}), Basse Terra (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}), Congestus (Jpn) (Contrail {Jpn}), Meisho Hachiko (Jpn) (Roger Barows {Jpn}), Shonan Gulf (Jpn) (Harbinger {GB}), Audacia (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Justin Vista (Jpn) (Saturnalia {Jpn}), Realize Sirius (Jpn) (Poetic Flare {Ire}), Ask Edinburgh (Jpn) (Leontes {Jpn}), Peintre Naif (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Going To Sky (Jpn) (Contrail {Jpn}), Forte Angelo (Jpn) (Fierement {Jpn}), Green Energy (Jpn) (Suave Richard {Jpn}), Lovcen (Jpn) (World Premiere {Jpn}), M's Begin (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}).TDN Analysis: G1 Hopeful Stakes hero Lovcen prevailed in the first Japanese colts' Classic in April, the G1 Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas), and his return here has also brought the next four finishers from that race back in Realize Sirius, Reichsadler, Ask Edinburgh and Forte Angelo. Sporting a win over this course and distance is Going To Sky, the victor of April's G2 Aoba Sho. Another already tested beyond 2000 metres is G2 Kyoto Shimbun Hai hero Congestus, who is booked in stall six.Sunday, Dusseldorf, Germany, post time: 13:45, HORN & COMPANY – 106TH GERMAN 1000 GUINEAS-G2, €125,000, 3yo, f, 8fTField: Aida (Ger) (Alson {Ger}), Arborea (Ger) (Waldpfad {Ger}), Caudry (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Indifferente (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}), Only Luck (Ire) (Lucky Vega {Ire}), Ourbren (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Sky Watch (Ire) (Starman {GB}), Sweet Sunshine (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}), Timeforshowcasing (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), Wintersonne (Ger) (Too Darn Hot {GB}).TDN Analysis: Timeforshowcasing has strong claims on her Burradon success, with her subsequent effort in the 1,000 Guineas forgivable. Heading the domestic team on form is the G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen runner-up Wintersonne, while the Polish 1,000 Guineas winner Only Luck adds spice. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Chantilly, France, post time: 14:40, GRAND PRIX DE CHANTILLY-G2, €119,000, 4yo/up, 12fTField: Eydon (Ire) (Olden Times {GB}), Cualificar (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Zarraf (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), Espoir Avenir (Fr) (Montmartre {Fr}), Goliath (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Oracle (Fr) (Too Darn Hot {GB}).TDN Analysis: This sees the return to Europe of the 2024 King George winner Goliath, who retains his ability but has last year's Prix du Jockey Club runner-up Cualificar to contend with. He was third in the G2 Prix d'Harcourt and returns to a more suitable trip. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Chantilly, France, post time: 17:15, PRIX DE SANDRINGHAM-G2, €119,000, 3yo, f, 8fTField: Mubasimah (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Demah (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Miuccia (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Pierchic (GB) (Palace Pier {GB}), Vaticana (Fr) (Goken {Fr}), Royal Chapel (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Naomis (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Green Sense (Ire) (Starman {GB}).TDN Analysis: Demah has something to find with these on her course-and-distance win in April, but as Francis Graffard's chosen one has to be respected with the stable having other options. Nothing here has a consistent profile, so it could come down to luck on the day and other imponderables such as the stamina limitations of last year's Phoenix Stakes third Green Sense. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Chantilly, France, post time: 14:05, PRIX DE ROYAUMONT-G3, €73,200, 3yo, f, 12fTField: Temapica (Fr) (Ectot {GB}), Behrayna (Fr) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Hatanka Fal (Fr) (Hathal), Marylene Du Serre (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Blanche De Medicis (Ire) (Waldgeist {GB}), Zlata (Ire) (Zarak {Fr}).TDN Analysis: Behrayna is among the most exciting of Graffard's three-year-old fillies and it will be a surprise if she is unable to confirm the form of her impressive win in the Prix de la Seine with the runner-up Zlata. Up in trip, the Prix Cleopatre third Blanche De Medicis could improve to be the main threat. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Chantilly, France, post time: 15:53, PRIX DU GROS-CHENE – WORLD POOL BY PMU-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, 5fTField: Sajir (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}), Ponntos (Ire) (Power {GB}), Lesslepasser (Fr) (Penny's Picnic {Ire}), Moojeed (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Afjan (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}).TDN Analysis: Luckily for Sajir, his arch-nemesis Stolen Kiss is absent and this should be a straightforward task as a result. The three-year-old Afjan had the audacity to beat Havana Anna in the Prix d'Arenberg last term, but just can't get beyond placing in these so far in 2026 and looks booked for minor honours again. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Chantilly, France, post time: 13:30, PRIX LA FLECHE-Listed, €54,900, 2yo, 5fTField: Tokaido (GB) (Ubettabelieveit {Ire}), Miss Lizzy (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Sacree Philomene (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Maiakovska (Fr) (Goken {Fr}), VOllering (Ire) (Sioux Nation), Reine Esther (Fr) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Aralia (Fr) (Muhaarar {GB}), Loppela (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Yuquot (Fr) (Kingman {GB}).TDN Analysis: Impressive over course and distance when last seen, Aralia and Tokaido square up with the well-bred Loppela another to have experienced this strip already when running into a potentially smart one on debut. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Chantilly, France, post time: 15:17, PRIX MARCHAND D'OR-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, 6fTField: Alhaeba (Upstart), Ikotofetsy (Fr) (Threat {Ire}), How Are You (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Mai Dire Mai (GB) (No Nay Never), Bourgoin (Fr) (Ardad {Ire}), Kailani (Fr) (Goken {Fr}), Baklawa (Fr) (Stunning Spirit {GB}), Shiri (Fr) (Mehmas {Ire}), Jeudixx (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), No Tune (GB) (No Nay Never).TDN Analysis: Second in the course-and-distance Prix Texanita, Kailani holds the aces but as usual there is a Graffard presence which has to be respected in How Are You. Second to stablemate Shiri in a course-and-distance conditions event last month, he is a full-brother to Minzaal so has a lot of genetic advantage to balance lack of experience. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Dusseldorf, Germany, post time: 13:00, MERKUR SPIELBANKEN – DERBY TRIAL-Listed, €30,000, 3yo, 11fTField: Abdulhamid (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Chiefland (Ire) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Guevara (Ger) (Alson {Ger}), Helvetios (Fr) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Noyan (Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}), Yokozuna (Fr) (Recorder {GB}), The Magic Melody (Ger) (Alson {Ger}).TDN Analysis: Derby clues are on offer here, with Chiefland and Guevara possibly the pick on their second and third in a conditions event here last month. Helvetios faced a stiff task taking on Varandir at Lyon-Parilly last time and may have it easier here. [Tom Frary].Tuesday, San Siro (Milan), Italy, post time: 17:50, 143RD DERBY ITALIANO-G2, €640,200, 3yo, c/f, 11fTField: Archers Bay (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Arkansas (Fr) (Sottsass {Fr}), Bright Light (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Bruxelles (Ity) (Ruler Of The World {Ire}), Camponanes (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), Dastan (Ger) (Reliable Man {GB}), Dear Enemy (Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}), Dr Omran (Ire) (Palace Pier {GB}), Ex Animo (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Grand Son Of Dark (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Hello Jo (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Pashang (Ger) (Isfahan {Ger}), Quantas (Ire) (Ghaiyyath {Ire}), Salitos (Ire) (In Swoop {Ire}), Topo Cinese (Ire) (Japan {GB}), Venetian Prince (GB) (St Mark's Basilica {Fr}).TDN Analysis: This 143rd renewal hosts a strong international contingent with last month's Listed Prix de l'Avre runner-up Bright Light featuring prominently in ante-post betting lists. His German compatriots include Darius Racing's Dastan, who punched his ticket to this with a Munich conditions tally in April, and TDN Rising Star Pashang, who blitzed his foes by seven lengths and more at Mulheim two weeks ago. Listed Prix Maurice Caillault victor and G3 Prix Greffulhe fourth Hello Jo is joined by the event's lone distaffer Arkansas, another Listed-winning Group 3 fourth, as the only raiders from France, while the Andrew Balding-conditioned G1 2000 Guineas 10th Venetian Prince and the Listed Newmarket Stakes third Archers Bay, representing last year's winning team of Marco Botti and Marco Ghiani, fly the flag for Britain. The domestic battalions are headed by G3 Premio Parioli (Italian 2000 Guineas) hero Grand Son Of Dark, who hails from the Endo Botti barn responsible for 2023 winner Goldenas.
