Not much that appeals on a trappy opening day to Vichy’s July Festival, but American Daisy should go well a division of the mile handicap (10.10am). 

The six year old took an age to get off the mark, but she did so over 1m2f here last September and added further success over 6.5f in a handicap at Wissembourg in May.  She has stayed on well on her last two starts over shorter than this, and a return to a mile could see her back to winning ways.

RECOMMENDED BET: 10.10am Vichy – American Daisy each-way @ 5/1 (all firms, though 11/2 with William Hill)

In the next division of the handicap (11.40am), Karmoutcho is a fair price to return to winning ways now dropped in grade.

He should’ve won here on his first start for Nicolas Perret in May, when finishing second. He hasn’t matched that in two runs since, but is lurking on a dangerous mark and the drop in grade is a big plus for him.

He doesn’t win very often, which is off-putting, but that’s also the case for the rest of these and he is capable of outrunning his double-figure odds.

RECOMMENDED BET: 11.40am Vichy – Karmoutcho each-way @ 10-1 (most firms, including Pari Match, Quinnbet, Fitzdares)
