The Group Three Prix Sigy will be the centerpiece of Tuesday’s Sky Sports Racing schedule, with Karl Burke’s promising filly Soul Love traveling to Chantilly to contest the sprint. The field appears deep, featuring a strong British contingent led by Argentine Tango and Soul Love, both of whom have shown considerable ability this season. Karl Burke, fresh from a successful weekend in France, will ride the unbeaten Soul Love, who is partnered by Sam James for the race. The filly is out of the noted sire Starman and has already turned heads by winning both of her starts on an all‑weather surface.
While she has demonstrated speed and composure, the step up to Group Three company will demand further improvement. Nonetheless, her pedigree and early form suggest she could be a cut‑above the rest and deserves a serious look as a potential contender. Francis‑Henri Graffard will field Moojeed, a horse that earned a Group Three win as a two‑year‑old before faltering in the Prix Robert Papin, finishing behind Green Sense.
With Mickael Brzalona aboard, Moojeed will be looking to rediscover her previous class and bounce back from that disappointing run. Argentine Tango, another well‑tried two‑year‑old, has compiled a solid record that includes a Listed victory at Newmarket. Her connections say she is in excellent condition, and her blend of experience and proven form makes her a credible threat to the field. She will likely be among the pace‑setters and could produce a strong finish if she can stay on the tight French turf.
Joseph O’Brien’s Yaupon De Replay and Kimi Rey round out the rest of the entries, offering solid, if not spectacular, chances. Both are respectable runners who could take advantage of any trouble at the front.
In addition to the Prix Sigy, the programme includes a five‑runner Restricted Maiden Fillies’ Stakes at Lingfield, available on the At The Races app. Lara Antipova and Lahan Kingman are both eager to secure their first win.
Lara Antipova, trained by Tom Clover, showed promise on her debut at Wetherby in June and followed it up with a second‑place effort at Wolverhampton in February, where she pulled clear of the third‑placed horse. That performance suggests she is improving and could be in contention for a close finish in this similar heat. Lahan Kingman, meanwhile, finished third to Guineas hopeful Touleen on her maiden start at Newbury last summer and then earned a respectable second place at Wolverhampton in her most recent run. Sent off at 4‑5 favourite on that occasion, she appears to be progressing, although she still shows a touch of greenness.
If she can sharpen up, she may well step forward and challenge for the win. Other fillies to watch include Andrew Balding’s Leonie, a filly who has been mentioned as a potential dark horse, as well as a debutant for Richard Hannon named Cosmic and a runner called Stolen, completing the field.
For fans of jumps racing, the day also offers a six‑race card at Newton Abbot. The highlight is the Visit Kauto The King 6th May Handicap Chase, where recent winners Soldier of the Storm and Tapley will lead the field.
Jonjo O’Neill Jr.’s Soldier of the Storm justified his favourite status with a dominant performance over fences at Sandown last month, and after a superb jump, he now carries five pounds more and remains the horse to beat. Tapley, trained by Suzy Smith, poses the main threat to Soldier of the Storm. After a series of placed runs, Tapley secured a second fence victory at Stratford, indicating he is improving and should be given serious consideration under the guidance of jockey Isabelle Ryder.
Another name worth noting is Sheldon, who posted a solid second place at Newbury but has not won in over two years. If he can rediscover his winning form, he could become a surprise factor in the chase. Overall, Tuesday’s card offers a blend of sprint action on the flat and challenging chase competition, providing something for every racing enthusiast. Soul Love’s bid for a Prix Sigy triumph will be the story to watch, as she attempts to translate her all‑weather dominance onto the French turf.
Whether she can rise to the occasion, or whether an experienced campaigner like Argentine Tango or a returning talent such as Moojeed will seize the day, remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the fillies at Lingfield and the chase at Newton Abbot promise further excitement, ensuring a full day of high‑quality racing across the board.
