Nancy Race 1 - Prix De La Place Stanislas Hurdle
DON'T STOP DE GREZ (1) made his debut in a stronger event over 3000m at Auteuil. He was far from disgraced back in fifth that day and could be the one to side with following that initial experience. The Almanzor newcomer NICKELLO BELLO (4) profiles nicely first up and might be the biggest danger. He deserves plenty of respect alongside ANTARCTICA (9) who ought to take a step forward from her debut sixth over 3600m in a conditions hurdle at Auteuil. NAR KANJI (3) was disappointing at Dieppe first time out but it's far too soon to be writing him off and he could leave that behind for top connections.

First race starter by Almanzor out of Nickelle. Makes his debut here in what looks a tricky race for him. Likely to be well fancied.

First race starter by Blue Bresil out of Cicely Parsley purchased for GBP £ 35,000 (Goffs - UK 2025 Yorton Sale). Makes his debut here in what looks a tricky race for him. Doesn't profile as the likely winner.

Three-year-old filly by Saint Des Saints out of La Bombonera having her first start today. Making race debut here. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.
