I’ll make this brief, as I need to head out of the office shortly!
Haptics was very badly hampered on handicap debut at Chantilly last month, jockey Alexis Pouchin losing his irons on the home bend, at which point the race was over.
Though he had finished unplaced on his three starts in maidens (fifth on each occasion), they came in better races than this, and he’s a well-bred individual with a pedigree that suggests this step up in trip will help.
This looks a weak enough maiden and at double-figure odds, he is well worth backing.

The 3.42pm at Lyon provides a great opportunity for Jean-Claude Rouget's Alessandro to return to winning ways having bumped into subsequent Group winner Pretty Tiger at Cagnes-sur-Mer. He has a wide draw to contend with this afternoon but is one of few in here that...

The 1m1f maiden at Lyon lacks any strength in depth and morning favourite Black Wall gets another chance to shed his maiden tag. However, he isn't the most straightforward and is worth taking on with Spell On You. The Niarchos-owned filly finished sixth on debut at...

One bet on the card at Lyon this afternoon, with Chuppy a really interesting contender in the 1m4f class 3. She is getting 8kg off the favourite (before that one's claim is taken into account), who is rated just 34, yet Chuppy was well supported when fifth on debut at...
