The latest from France, is that racing goes ahead tomorrow.  4 meetings are scheduled. Toulouse, Longchamp , Vichy and  Compiegne, with some really useful prospects set to line up at Longchamp.  Victor Ludorum will head the market in the 11.55, the Prix de Fontainebleau, which is a group 3 event, is ran over 7f and 209 yards.  Victor Ludorum won his last race, a group 1 back in October 2019.  He had two of his rivals, Ecrivan and Helter Skelter back in 4th and 5th that day.  If the favorite is ready, he should win again, as I thought he had a little bit in hand that day. Although Helter Skelter was a strong finisher, and was given a bit to do.  He might be the main threat.

At 12.25 the fillies line up.  Tropbeau and Khayzaraan looked really good fillies last year, it is difficult to split them.  The 7f and 209 yard event, carries the same status as the colts race, it will be a good race between the two, I have a slight preference for Tropbeau, although very marginal.  Hopefully we can see some good racing on Sky racing.  And should learn a bit for the big group 1 events later in the season.
