Longchamp Race 5 - De L'Avre Listed Stakes
RUMORISTE (8) recorded his first career win on comeback attempting a maiden at Saint-Cloud over 2100m by a head. Followed that up with a good second here over 2100m in a Class Two. Interesting raised in trip and may improve. MONTSECRET (2) won the final start of 2025 by 2.5L contesting a maiden at Compiegne over 1800m. Respectable effort making reappearance when fifth beaten 3.5L in the G3 Prix Noailles over 2100m here. Up in journey and open to further improvement. DERAWAR (1) won nicely on second start tackling a 2000m maiden at Fontainebleau. Interesting going up in journey providing third start. British raider BIRGHAM DUB (3) bids for a hat-trick after winning first two career starts. Most recently secured a 2L victory at Southwell in a 2400m Novices stakes race. Cannot be ignored.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 12 at Saint-Cloud on March 19 over 2000m, slow going 8 len behind Wiki with 58kg at $4. Last start favourite; won by 0.8 len at Fontainebleau April 20 over 2000m defeating Earthquake with 58kg at $3.70. Terrific chance to continue the strong form.

Yet to taste defeat in two starts. Had his first run for this campaign last start won by 2 len at Southwell All Weather April 25 over 2414m defeating Florentine Law with 58.5kg at $5. Impressive of late. Key runner who is a great chance to measure up again.

Second run back. Comes off a 41-day let-up. First-up after five months 7th of 10 at Saint-Cloud on April 3 over 2100m, slow going 7 len behind Rumoriste carrying 58kg at $7.60. Previously second-up 2nd of 7 at Saint-Cloud in the G3 Prix De Conde on October 3 over 2000m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Waybreaker with 57kg at $16. Would have to improve sharply.

Last start 2nd of 10 at Lyon-Parilly on April 29 over 2400m, slow going 2.5 len behind Varandir carrying 57kg at $24. The run before that second last of 7 at Chantilly on April 2 over 2000m, 6 len behind Dolmalan carrying 57kg at $22. Likely to find this out of reach.

Third-up today. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at Saint-Cloud April 3 over 2100m on a soft track defeating Alam with 58kg at $5. Last start 2nd in a small field at this track on April 23 over 2150m, 2 len behind Chamali with 57kg at $2.20. Certainly worth following up.
