Compiegne Tips and Racecourse Guide
Compiegne racecourse north of Paris is one of several courses to host flat, jumps and trotting racing, though it is more focused on thoroughbred racing.
The flat course is a left-handed 2,200 metre ring and there are separate courses for both steeplechasing and hurdles. In recent years, Compiegne has been thrust into the limelight as it has picked up fixtures under both codes following the regrettable closures of Maisons-Laffitte and Enghien.
On the flat, the Prix Pelleas at the end of July is probably the most likely race of Compiegne’s calendar to throw up a future star. The 10 furlong race for the classic generation was won by Wally in 2020, who went on to win the Group Three Prix Edmond Blanc in 2021.
2010 Prince of Wales’ Stakes winner Byword won the Prix Pelleas on his second career start for Andre Fabre, with wonder horse Cirrus Des Aigles back in third.

The 1m4f claimer features a short-priced favourite in Luminesce, who was no match for a subsequent class 1 runner-up (albeit in a weak race) at Dieppe last time. However, there wasn’t much in behind that day and while she has a strong chance here, I’m keen to take her on at the price.
Dschingis Dash has been running in modest company and at a bigger price, I like the chances of Mademoiselle Mia.
Mikael Seror provided us with a big-priced winner a couple of weeks ago that was switching to the flat and though our selection has plenty of form in this sphere, she has also been jumping of late, winning well over 2m1f at Lyon Parilly just 10 days ago.
That performance suggests this trip could well suit her (pfrevioius form on the flat was over shorter), but just a repeat of her class 3 success at Fontainebleau in March, or indeed the sixth in a handicap at ParisLongchamp on her next start, would be enough to see her go close here.
Corentin Berge has been seen to good effect of late and his last ride for Seror was a winner in this grade here last week.
The price tumbled from a huge 17/2 to around the 11/2 mark as I wrote up the tip, but she remains a good each-way bet.
2.40pm Compiegne – 1pt each-way Mademoiselle Mia @ 11/2 (6-1 in places)
