Longchamp Racing Tips: Get Revved up for the Moulin

English and Irish runners account for four of the first six in the betting for the feature Prix du Moulin at 14:48.

Last year's renewal was won by Baaeed. There is nothing of his quality in the line-up but there are two Classic winners: Coroebus and Mangoustine, winners of the 2,000 Guineas and French 1,000 respectively.

Charlie Appleby and William Buick will have been disappointed that Coroebus missed a penalty kick at Deauville when running 10lb below his best in the Prix de Jacques Le Marois, for which he was favourite.

It was a lifeless run compared with his wins at Newmarket and Royal Ascot where he beat Lusail a head.

Lusail is each-way value at 9.08/1 but I wouldn't rush to back Coroebus at 3.02/1 given his latest run.

Ryan Moore flies over for Order Of Australia. Aidan O'Brien's five-year-old has started at much longer prices in his recent Group 1s and his odds 7.06/1 reflect the fact that he ran better than expected at Deauville when fourth in the Jacques Le Marois, just under two lengths ahead of Coroebus.

Ed Walker's Dreamloper has disappointed over 10 furlongs since winning a poor renewal of the Prix d'Ispahan over nine here at Longchamp in May. Coming back to a mile I would expect her to be outpaced.

The Revenant can fend off foreign challenge

The one Group 1 winner that hasn't had a hard season, and comes into the race fresh is The Revenant.

The seven-year-old has been off the track since winning a Listed and a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in the spring.

A regular at Ascot each autumn, he has finished in the money in the last three runnings of the British Champions Mile, winning it in 2000.

I was hoping he would be an each-way price but with the recent rain in Paris he is in to 4.57/2. He will need to have his wits about him to beat Coroebus but looks the best bet.

Mangoustine hasn't fired since taking the French 1,000, hence her long odds 15.014/1. Texas 23.022/1 has been similarly disappointing since coming second to Modern Games in the French 2,000 over today's course and distance.

God Blessing's is the only unbeaten runner in the line-up. His wins have come at Bordeaux and in a Listed at Deauville, though, so he will do well to be placed in this exalted company.

Bolshkinov can end Breizh Sky's unbeaten record

The opening race is the Prix de la Rochette at 12:15.

It's a Group 3 for two-year-olds over seven furlongs with two market leaders that are head and shoulders above the other four.

Choose between Breizh Sky winner of a Listed over the trip, and Bolshkinov runner-up to Charlie Appleby's Mysterious Night in the Group 3 Prix Francois Boutin over seven at Deauville.

I reckon Bolshkinov's form is the stronger, but it is a coin toss.

The Prix Gladiateur is the Group 3 stayers' race on the card at 12:45.

Ed Dunlop's John Leeper is the sole English runner. He comes into the race in good nick, having come fourth in the Ebor. That was a good honest run and Ryan Moore takes over from Adam Kirby.

The locals could win this, though, with The Good Man. He has a 2lb penalty for winning the Group 3 Prix de Barbeville over course and distance in May, and is a touch classier than John Leeper who has not won for 15 months.

Buick v Moore in the Prince d'Orange

The two Newmarket runners could fight out the finish to the Prix du Prince d'Orange at 15:33.

It's not the first time they have met, as West Wind Blows and Star Of India contested the Derby, finishing ninth and 13th at Epsom.

This weekend's race is over two furlongs shorter and, critically, Star Of India has left Aidan O'Brien for Harry Eustace where he is now the big fish in a tiny pond rather than one of many Galileo colts that has fallen some way short of the standards Coolmore requires.

With Simon and Ed Crisford in such good form preference is for West Wind Blows who was impressive when winning Hamilton's Glasgow Stakes in July. His record is three wins from five starts. That should be four from six at close of play.

Vagalame who dead-heated for fifth in the French Derby at Chantilly would be the best of the home team.

Palmer's Arion has it all to do to make the frame

Last and definitely least is the Listed Prix de la Cochere at 16:08.

Hugo Palmer runs Arion, a Chelmsford winner that has been unplaced in her four Listeds for fillies-only this season.

She will do well to make the first three as the favourite Susu's Dimples 3.7511/4 has been placed in similar races at Deauville and Nantes, Alula Borealis 6.511/2 at Le Lion d'Angers and Chantilly, and Gregarina 4.57/2 has come second in Listeds here and more recently at Tarbes.

Add in the in-form handicapper Nola 6.511/2 and Arion 5.59/2 is best left alone.

Nola's rating has gone from 80 to 100 following wins at Lyon, Vichy and Deauville this summer and she could be the answer to this tricky contest. She should certainly give us a run for our money.
