"Daryz should be remembered as one of the best French horses of the 21st century and it has been a pleasure to write about him".

"These 2 would look to be the more likely winners of the last Grade 1 Hurdle race open to the 4-year-olds before they have to taken on their elders next year".

"Having won so impressively, his connections are likely to have little choice but to give him a bigger test at a higher level next time".

"I think in time he has the potential to make up into a decent handicapper for the northern circuit".

"There have been a few false dawns for Wimbledon Hawkeye supporters, most notably when he won in the US around this time last year, but I really think he has now turned the corner and matured into the horse he always threatened to be".

"He is a grandson of the great Zarkava and the Aga Khan Stud have enjoyed such incredible success with this family that it can’t be entirely surprising to find that he has proven to be a pattern class performer".

"Her connections will be hoping that they can land a Group 1 with her and if the last year has taught us anything, it is that her trainer is undoubtedly the best trainer in France to achieve that goal"

"This was his first run since October, but having sat behind the pace on the inside rail, I really liked the way that he finished his race".

Everyone loves a big galloping grey horse don’t they? Le Kerry is from a very good family and his connections seem keen to make up for lost time with this 5-year-old.

"The most notable thing about this horse is the fact that he is a half-brother to Iroko, who has already brought festival success for these connections".

With the firm view that the form will work out and that the best horse won the race, I think Mississipi is worth making note of.

Adam reviews the Listed Prix de la Porte de Madrid at Saint-Cloud, won by Marquisat for Andre Fabre.

"The fact that they moved to make this purchase in March is highly significant and he is a name to note".

A review of the Prix Hubert de Navailles, which saw the return of Theleme after an absence of 2 years.

"It would be a mistake to write him off as a fluke just because of his SP, but how this run translates to open company against older horses is impossible to predict at this stage".

"As older horse maidens go, this wasn’t the worst by any means and the only horse to take out of it would be Serenissimus".

"I don’t think the performance of Silius should be underestimated and if there is a horse in this year’s Prix Altipan that is capable of making his mark at a higher level, it is him".

"He’s worthy of note and should be more than capable of winning races for his new connections as a 4-year-old'.

I wouldn’t normally be overly excited about a 4-year-old hurdle at Fontainebleau in February, especially with the first 3-year-old hurdles of the new season at Compiegne next week, but there were a couple of newcomers that really caught my eye in the Prix des Heronnieres and so I will make an exception for this race.

Another day and another impressive winner for Daniela Mele in a 4-year-old AQPS race, this time at Saumur.
