Celandine Faces Robert Papin Test

Sunday's racing is more low-key than we have been used to this week, but Chantilly stage a significant juvenile staging post in the G2 Prix Robert Papin in which Rockcliffe Stud's Listed Empress Stakes winner Celandine (GB) (Kingman {GB}) takes the next step in her career. With Arabian Dusk (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) boosting that Newmarket form, the Ed Walker-trained homebred takes pole position for this six-furlong contest which also hosts Mohamed Saeed Al Shahi's course-and-distance G3 Prix du Bois scorer Arabie (GB) (Dandy Man {Ire}). Strangely exclusively contested by foreign runners, including the G3 Premio Primi Passi winner Korisa (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), the feature sets a trend with the card's G3 Darley Prix Chloe being the target of Juddmonte's visiting TDN Rising Star Skellet (Ire) (Kingman {GB}).
