ParisLongchamp hosts a thrilling Prix de la Grotte renewal at 1.33pm, pitting Green Spirit against Narissa. Christopher Head-trained Green Spirit enters in form after winning four starts last season, including Group 3 and 2 levels, while Maxime Guyon partners her after a competitive run in the Prix Marcel Boussac. Narissa, chasing Green Spirit three times in 2023, finished third in the Group 1 behind Diamond Necklace but needs winter progress to close the gap. The pair are 8/1 favorites for the French 1000 Guineas, with trainer Francis-Henri Graffard managing both. Evolutionist, third in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile, adds depth for Karl Burke.

At 2.50pm, Nighttime – Lagardere runner-up trained by Christopher Head – aims to solidify Classic aspirations in the Prix de Fontainebleau. The colt’s three wins and second-place finish behind Puerto Rico in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere justify his favorite status. Regal Resolve (two wins from three starts) and Elastic (Listed victory at Saint-Cloud) challenge, while Campacite (Jean-Claude Rouget’s stable) offers top-tier placed form.

Ffos Las’s 2.38pm Amroth Bay Static Caravan Sales Maiden Hurdle features Doujadou (point winner, improving hurdler) and Into The Blue (Nicky Henderson/Nico de Boinville’s pedigree-backed newcomer). Knead A Win (122 rating) and Manigod (progressive hurdler in Tommy Williams Memorial) round out the card.

Spece Waltz (Andre Fabre) and Hardy Warrior (Joseph O’Brien) vie for glory in the Group 3 Prix Noailles at 3.25pm, while Map Of Stars (James Doyle) and Marquisat attract bets for the Prix Lord Seymour. The Tommy Williams Memorial Hurdle (3.50pm) at Ffos Las sees Manigod as a key contender.
