Sunday promises to be an action-packed day of racing, with events at Newton Abbot and Chantilly broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. A talented trio is set to compete in the prestigious Group Two Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly.
Trained by Amy Murphy, Tokaido will be seeking to build on his impressive record, having secured his third win in four outings with a convincing victory in the Group Three Prix du Bois under the guidance of Tony Piccone. This was his inaugural attempt at six furlongs, and his connections are optimistic about his ability to adapt to this higher level of competition. Joseph O'Brien has a dual presence, with King Of Cloughan being the preferred choice.
As a son of St Mark's Basilica, he demonstrated significant improvement in his initial starts, culminating in a win at the Windsor Castle Stakes during the Royal meeting. He will appreciate a decent pace in this event, particularly with new rider Pierre-Charles Boudot at the helm. Beibhinn, having won a Listowel maiden in her second outing and finished an impressive third in this grade at the Curragh, should not be underestimated. Erdenali aims to extend his winning streak in the highly competitive Group Three Prix Messidor, scheduled for 4:35 pm.
Francis-Henri Graffard's gelding has remained unbeaten in all three of his starts, making a remarkable debut at Saint-Cloud in March. Although he faces another challenging test, he has the potential to rise to the occasion and remains a highly promising prospect.
Silius, trained by Christopher Ferland, serves as a reliable benchmark, having secured second place in his last two starts at this level, making him a formidable opponent if he can replicate his previous form. Dark Trooper and Familly complete the list of contenders. To stay up-to-date with the latest racing news, interviews, and features, download our app.
The in-form duo of No More No and Edgewell are set to clash in the Sun Racing Summer Jumps Championship Handicap Chase, the final event at Newton Abbot. Lawney Hill's No More No made a successful return from a layoff, winning two starts over fences, and he remains appealing despite being placed on a three-pound higher mark.
Given his challenging training regimen, he has been afforded ample time to recover from his previous outing. Edgewell arrives in exceptional form, having triumphed over this course and distance in June before claiming a Worcester handicap in impressive fashion last month. He thrives on quick ground and is poised to deliver another bold performance.
My Girl Katie, trained by The Grace Harris, has previously won over this distance and track, making her a contender who cannot be dismissed. For the latest horse racing news, interviews, and features from Sky Sports Racing. Other notable events include the 1:33 Chantilly race, where Cankoura has a promising opportunity at the Listed level, the 3:25 Chantilly event, a Group Three race featuring Jennifer Jane, representing Charlie Johnston and Silvestre De Sousa, and the 4:50 Newton Abbot race, which promises to be a competitive event with Muskerry Rock participating.
The 2:30 Newton Abbot Juvenile Hurdle will feature Skelton's High Aura.
