Group One Prix Du Cadran Guide 2022

Winner of a group two race last time out at Deauville over 1m 6f, beating Joie De Soir by a neck. Has been raced heavily in France but this is a tougher task alongside group one horses.

His recent form is pretty decent and represents promise but others could be too strong here.

Skazino is an experienced horse over French courses, with 13 victories at the likes of Deauville, Vichy and ParisLongchamp.

Has only ran at this distance once previously though.He’s also stepping up to group one company for the first time, and this looks a tough ask when you look at the horses he is up against here.

Last run was a listed stakes test over 1m 5f here, in which he finished ninth of eleven.

Much like the others around him in the market, this is a lot tougher than he’s faced before and faces a difficult ask to challenge the leaders.

Lismore has five career victories but never over this distance. Is also making his course debut, following runs in England and Ireland previously.

A third last time out at Doncaster over 2m 1f in group two provided promise, finishing behind the prolific Trueshan and winner Coltrane.

Won a handicap race last time out at Vichy over 1m 6f, beating Cote Jardin by a length. Is now moving into group company, which provides a massive test, given the horses he is up against here.

He is the second highest rated horse in the race behind Kyprios, much like the betting. Has three wins in a row and has previous experience here, securing group two success over 1m 5f.

He is yet to run at this distance, but his previous win at York last month over two miles suggests he has the stamina to stay the longer distances.

He looks capable of challenging the favourite Kyprios for victory.

One of the more experienced horses in terms of runs, last win was at Ascot in April, beating Quickthorn by a head over 1m 7f.

Hasn’t been able to hit those heights since, with no places in his last three races, all won by market leader Kyprios.

This will be a tough ask to win here, going off his recent form.

He has been raced in Germany and Czech Republic in his nine runs so far, winning three races. This is both a step up in trip, and class, which sees others preferred here.

Kyprios is out in front in the betting market and rightly so, with five wins in his last five. His successes have come over distances ranging from 1m 6f to 2m 3f and he looks ready to run another big race here.

Impressively won over this distance at Royal Ascot in June, beating the likes of Mojo Star & the retired legend, Stradivarius.

Is a leading player here, looking for his sixth win in succession.

The last of the 100-plus rated horses in the race has some impressive form behind him recently. Has placed or won in all 12 starts but one so far, with notable successes at Deauville and Clairefontaine.

This is a step up from those races, but the form is good and could be in with an outside chance here.

Winner of three handicaps earlier in his career, he has yet to strike success since stepping up to class one company following those victories.

Tashkan has fared better over shorter distances, so it remains to be seen how he copes here.Finished fifth of nine on his only outing here over 1m 6f in group two company.

Not sure he will be able to compete with Kyprios or Quickthorn.

Is making a first foray into France, following three races in Praha. He won two of those, over 1m 3f and 1m 6f.

This is a huge test and the others will be too strong here.
