The first of the G3s is the Prix Barbeville over 3000m of soft ground so there will probably be some very tired horses at the finish.  Double Major  is the favourite on 11/8 and we like Skazino on 9/2.  Andre Fabre's Sober didn't like Meydan so back on home turf he could be value at 5/1.  Pouchin rides.

The Ganay itself is over 2100m and 9 runners will line up. It's quite an open race and so our magic pin has landed on the Aga Khan's two runners with the preference going to Zarakem (Reynier-Guyon) on 5/1 and Zarir (Graffard-Pasquier) on 13/2, and then Fantastic Moon for Sarah Steinberg and Rene Piechulek.

The Prix Allez France is over 2000m for the f&m with 10 to run.  Ottery holds the call on 10/3 and we are putting in German raider Quantanamera from the Suborics yard on 9/1 as a bit of value and serial second placer American Sonja in 7/2 for the Irish (Joseph O'Brien and Dylan McMonagle.
