The first of these is the Criterium de Saint Cloud for 2yo colts and fillies.

Seven will line up and it looks like going to the raiders in particular to O'Brien father and son.

Aidan saddles Illinois, a Galileo colt whom Ryan Moore will ride and they are on 2/1.  Joseph has Islandsinthestream, a Wooton Bassett colt who is on 7/2 and has booked Guyon for the ride.  There seems to be only one filly in the race Shiffrin who is on 4/1 if you fancy her to take on the boys.

The Criterium International also has 7 runners for the 1600m and Andre Fabre's New Bay colt Alcantor is on 7/4 with Barzalona riding.  We are not sure if David Menuisier is coming from UK with Sunway or if he has a base back in France – it may be from UK and therefore a raider as he has Oisin Murphy riding the Galiway colt.

The French had a very successful day at Ascot on Saturday but more of that anon.
