Some interesting races at Compiegne in France later today. One I liked in 3.46 has been withdrawn, which leaves a good opening for Heroiste who has attracted support in the betting. With leading jockey Mickael Barzalona on top she can be expected to be ready to go on her return run of the year.

Sumaco in the 6.45 at Compiegne ran well to be fourth at Parislongchamp in April on debut and will know more this time. He is stepping up in trip and can be too smart for his rivals under Maxime Guyon. He is currently around 2/1 with most firms.

More later.
