Fontainebleau Race 1 - De Pau Hurdle
A number of newcomers in this contest make it a tricky puzzle to solve. Pick of them is VANEADI (6) who looks a likely type on paper and any market confidence should be noted. NACRE DU SEUIL (5) caught the eye on debut when fourth here earlier in the month. Entitled to improve from that outing. NIRVANA DELABRUNIE (1) is another newcomer and is by Motamarris. Looks to have found a tricky starting point but respected nonetheless. NIRQUILLE (9) looks a really interesting contender based on breeding. By Clovis Du Berlais who is doing well at stud and represents the in-form François Nicolle stable. One to consider.

First race starter by Motamarris out of Kayanoura. Makes his debut here in what looks a tricky race for him. Worth watching for a betting push.

Racing second-up. First race start finished 11th of 15 starters at Deauville All Weather on December 2 over 1900m, 7 len behind Takerya carrying 58kg at $17. Returned from break fell at this track on March 9 over 3000m. Confidence might be low and likely to struggle again.

First race starter by Clovis Du Berlais out of Belle Namix. Makes her debut here in what looks a tricky race for her. Tough to assess real chances. Watch the market closely as she hails from the in-form François Nicolle stable.
