Jamie Lynch’s runner information: Qatar Prix du Jockey Membership | Racing Information

It might be in need of a star however the Qatar Prix du Jockey Membership (3.05) of 2025 – dwell on Sky Sports activities Racing on Sunday – definitely fills its transient because the most interesting of filters for pouring within the Basic concoction of bluebloods of differing kinds, requirements and levels.

5 are approaching from the Poulains, six arrive by way of recognised trials in France, and there are two left-field supplementary entries.

It is price emphasising on the prime that the draw could be essential in large fields over this course and distance, with a pointy reminder final 12 months when the primary 4 dwelling have been the 4 lowest drawn. With all of that in thoughts, let’s take an in-depth take a look at the 18-runner area…

1. Azimpour (16)

Jockey: Clement Lecoeuvre | Coach: Francis-Henri Graffard

Azimpour is out off a half-sister to Azamour – a Basic Aga Khan household – so we all know he’ll get higher with time and distance. His groundwork up to now backs that up, given he was pipped by Cualificar within the nine-furlong Prix La Pressure, although his flattening fourth (behind Nitoi) within the Prix Du Suresnes did put some type of cap on expectations for a race as large as this at his stage. Stall 16 is much from supreme so it is a bit of a no brainer for Mickael Barzalona to aspect with Ridari.

2. Ridari (11)

Mickael Barzalona | Mikel Delzangles

A sooner last furlong than the trio who completed forward of him fostered the ‘what if’ issue within the Poulains, particularly as he bumped into site visitors not as soon as however twice within the straight. Nonetheless, he beat the 4 re-opposers from the Prix de Fontainebleau all of the extra convincingly and added to his speedy file of improvement.

There’s an opportunity that this new journey accentuates his enchancment, remembering that Churchill has already sired a Prix du Jockey Membership winner (Vadeni), whereas Ridari’s dam gained the Prix de l’Opera. A double-figure draw is wider than connections would really like, however he has the proper profile for the race.

3. King Of Cities (10)

James Doyle | Richard Hannon

This horse is a powerful supplementary entry, emboldened by the way in which the Feilden type is figuring out, taking pictures clear with Almeric (in a quick time) at Newmarket, with two next-time winners of their jetwash together with eye-catching Dante fifth Nightwalker.

Reasonably than his half-brother Inisherin, he takes far more after his Prix Jean Romanet-winning dam, Ajman Princess. As such, he is set to shine for the additional furlong of the Prix du Jockey Membership, however even now he is formally rated solely 3lb behind Camille Pissarro. It is no surprise they paid to get him into the race.

4. Al Aali (7)

Antony Crastus | Lucie Pontoir

A market maverick, the larger the beginning worth, the larger his efficiency! He got here dwelling very properly for second (at 33/1) within the Prix de Guiche, splitting Cualificar and Curragh Camp. He clearly wears the underdog hat properly, however that is an altogether loftier degree.

5. Leffard (15)

Jean-Bernard Eyquem | Jean-Claude Rouget

First issues first, he is not Ace Impression, not by a protracted chalk! There are parallels past the Jean-Claude Rouget regime nonetheless, successful the identical Cagnes-sur-Mer maiden on debut (in January) and coming inside a short-neck of following swimsuit within the Prix de Suresnes, giving Nitoi a scare.

He is nonetheless trying up, however his chances are high trying down after drawing gate 15.

6. Cualificar (12)

William Buick | Andre Fabre

You’d by no means have thought he’d get to the place he has following successive defeats final back-end, however with every race he has grown in energy, function and professionalism. Subsequently, he has a faint whiff of Huge Rock about him – for strategy if not assault – having gained the identical two trials, the Prix La Pressure and Prix de Guiche.

For context, he is round 10lb shy of the place Huge Rock was coming to Chantilly, however Cualificar’s profession curve is propelled by the highly effective privileges of who he is with (the grasp coach) and the way he is bred, by a Prix du Jockey Membership winner out of an Epsom Oaks winner.

7. Detain (6)

Christophe Soumillon | John and Thady Gosden

In 5 races, his solely defeats have come the twice he is been in on the deep finish in Group 1s, ending sixth within the Poulains, however from 14th within the false straight, a great distance again even in a strongly-run race. It is notable that he ran the quickest last 600m of all 16 runners, a smidgen over 33 seconds.

From sharp pace as a two-year-old, he is now beginning to present a number of the DNA of his most illustrious half-brother, the St Leger runner-up Arrest, and the explanation why it is simple to see the transfer up in journey triggering one other transfer up in type.

8. Heybetli (14)

Tony Piccone | Alicja Karkosa

This contender is uncovered and established. He could make an impression in Group 3s however not Group 1s, as underlined within the Lagardere and Poulains (eleventh), and he is uncertain to remain this new distance, being by Showcasing. Additionally, stall 14 makes life particularly robust.

9. Bowmark (8)

Tom Marquand | John and Thady Gosden

Tom Marquand’s mount is lacking a couple of rungs of the ladder to contest this Basic, although his sky-high repute noticed him go off 6/4 for the Burradon (formed finest in second). He duly seemed a category act again in a mere novice at York at 1/3 final time, coasting in however in a time that also in contrast properly towards the Listed fillies earlier on the cardboard.

There’s a variety of Kingman in him, however he is from a Basic Coolmore middle-distance household, a pointer to his potential for this completely different distance. Bowmark is the fizz in a area filled with slower-maturing ports.

10. Curragh Camp (5)

Stephane Pasquier | Francis-Henri Graffard

There is a sample of progress that’s set to proceed for some time but, given his lingering greenness when third (behind Cualificar and Al Aali) within the Prix de Guiche, however it reasonably begs the query if he could not win that how is he going to win this? He’ll, not less than, profit from the longer journey, naming helpful hurdler Beneath Management amongst his relations, and Curragh Camp has drawn properly.

11. Luther (13)

Kieran Shoemark | Charlie Fellowes

He outran his odds (46/1 on pari-mutuel) when fourth within the Poulains, with no trace of a fluke about it. He was nearer the warmth of the race than a couple of of the sooner finishers who drew they eye extra by the tip, together with Detain, who had overwhelmed Luther at Chelmsford when each made their reappearance.

There’s lots in his pedigree to say that he’ll relish not to mention keep 10 furlongs, given he is by Frankel and from the household of Fame And Glory, however as a bundle he lacks the scope of some in right here, and gate 13 provides issue.

12. Trinity School (3)

Wayne Lordan | Aidan P O’Brien

A horse who is brief on scope by now, seven races in, and he is continually come up quick in stakes races – the newest the Blue Riband Trial during which he was overwhelmed only a head regardless of trying all at sea on Epsom’s camber. It is onerous to see him impacting in a Basic.

13. Parachutiste (17)

Oisin Murphy | Francis-Henri Graffard

This runner is an unknown amount having saved it low-key, making simply the three appearances however successful two, together with the Prix de Ferrieres in April. He is bought precisely the identical profile as Sosie forward of his third within the Prix du Jockey Membership final 12 months. Parachutiste is a Francis-Henri Graffard manufacturing that dismissed an Andre Fabre horse on the identical trajectory (Zekret).

That rival wasn’t overwhelmed far in final week’s Prix Hocquart, and what’s extra each wins have solely appeared to scratch the floor of Parachutiste, who most likely has one other gear to go to. One phrase of warning is that Graffard stated he sees him extra as a mile-and-a-half horse, which can add to his woes from stall 17.

14. Tipinso (9)

Cristian Demuro | Jean-Claude Rouget

Tipinso hurried to a hat-trick as his performed up his progress however has hit a ceiling since, and it is nowhere close to the required degree. He was overwhelmed by the opposite penalised runner in a Listed race final time and this shall be past his means for traditional or stamina or each.

15. Camille Pissarro (1)

Ryan Moore | Aidan P O’Brien

This Ballydoyle consultant has proven a number of completely different faces – not all of them good – as a two-year-old however ended on an uncalculated excessive within the Lagardere when all eyes have been on Henri Matisse (and Ryan Moore). He has skilled on properly, if having to accept third behind the identical team-mate within the French Guineas, however he ran the sooner final 600m and recorded the very best prime pace (of 42.8mph) of any horse within the area.

An entry is the Commonwealth Cup betrays that they weren’t certain which course he’d be heading this 12 months, his end at Longchamp obliging a attempt at this journey, however Wootton Bassett by no means went this far, and Camille Pissarro has extra pace than stamina on the dam’s aspect, too. He is essentially the most completed horse within the line-up and has struck luckiest with the draw.

16. Nitoi (18)

Alexis Pouchin | Andre Fabre

This runner is reduce from the identical fabric as his Group 1-winning half-brother Junko, failing the place that one succeeded within the Prix Noailles (accomplished for a little bit of toe by Uther) however course correcting by plugging extra into his strong-galloping fashion when seeing off Leffard over this course and distance within the Listed Prix de Suresnes.

Nitoi is monitoring to make right into a Group 1 horse however he is extra of a grinder than a glider which could be compromising at Chantilly, compounded by the dimensions and form of this area, in addition to his brutal draw, widest in stall 18.

17. Sinileo (4)

Maxime Guyon | Andre Fabre

Now then, what have we bought right here? Dependable Man in 2011 and Look De Vega final 12 months have been Prix du Jockey Membership exceptions in successful it with simply two races behind them, however it’s virtually extraordinary for a horse to be requested the query solely a fortnight after his debut. Sure, Sinileo handed the attention take a look at after which some in a mile maiden at Chantilly, by no means trying flat out at any stage, however the time was nothing particular (considerably slower than the opposite races on the journey that day), and but Andre Fabre has sensed or seen one thing to complement him, fostered by the actual fact Guyon has chosen him over Nitoi.

Fabre skilled one in all his half-siblings, Solsticia, to complete third in a Group 1 (Prix Saint-Alary) on solely her third begin, that one by Le Havre, and it is clear from his debut that Sinileo is blessed with extra boot, from Siyouni. There are thriller containers, after which there’s Sinileo.

18. Frankly Good Cen (2)

Augustin Madamet | Victoria Head

This lad had Parachutiste behind when making a successful debut at Deauville in December and produced one other promising efficiency when a detailed second in a circumstances race at Compiegne final week. That stated, this can be a world away – an excessive amount of too quickly.

Jamie Lynch’s verdict

Going into it, the bar is not so excessive because it typically is for a Prix du Jockey Membership, which can be a part of the explanation Andre Fabre is throwing in Sinileo, with a sense that upgraders have an opportunity this 12 months, and that is my idea with BOWMARK, who’s starting to look a severe horse after what he did in a quick time with out fuss at York, suggesting he is prepared and in a position for this stiffer take a look at.

Watch the Qatar Prix du Jockey Membership at Chantilly dwell on Sky Sports activities Racing on Sunday 1st June.
