Neil Morrice shares all of his Paris Longchamp best bets and tips for Saturday’s racing coming your way on 4 October 2025.
PARIS LONGCHAMP BEST BETS SATURDAY
Race 1 QATAR PRIX CHAUDENAY (Group 2)
No7 TENNESSEE STUD
Trainer: Joseph O’Brien – Jockey: Dylan Browne McGonagle
TENNESSEE STUD takes a class drop after making the frame in the Epsom and Irish Derbys. The son of recently deceased stallion Wootton Bassett can have the whip hand over his stablemate EMIT.
Race 2 QATAR PRIX DU CADRAN (Group 1)
No4 SUNWAY
Trainer: David Menuisier – Jockey: Cristian Demuro
The jury remains out as to whether SUNWAY wants the Cup distances, but his trainer is quietly confident he can achieve it in this marathon. The four-year-old is a quirky character but can benefit from the arrival of a top class overseas rider on his back.
Race 6 QATAR PRIX DANIEL WILDENSTEIN (Group 2)
No8 DREAMLINER
Trainer: Stephane Wattel – Jockey: Theo Bachelot
DREAMLINER has proved the mainstay of Wattel’s season with his sudden improvement and victory in the Group 3 Prix Quincey at Deauville. The chestnut takes another step up the class ladder in which he can stave off the challenges of ALCANTOR and RIDARI.
Race 7 QATAR PRIX DE ROYALLIEU (Group 1)
No9 BEDTIME STORY
Trainer: Aidan O’Brien – Jockey: Christophe Soumillon
Although unable to add to her haul this season, BEDTIME STORY brings the best form to the table and can post an overdue success in a race that matters. She was breathing down the necks of the two that beat her in the Prix Vermeille, and has the wherewithal to trump an unexposed French foe in INDALIMOS.
Race 8 QATAR PRIX DOLLAR (Group 2)
No1 FIRST LOOK
Trainer: Andrew Fabre – Jockey: Mickael Barzalona
Older horse FIRST LOOK comes here on the back of a career best run when winning the Group 3 Prix Gontaut-Biron at Deauville in which he dug deep into his reserves to repel Goliath. Operating at the top of his game, he can maintain his rise up the ranks and complete a fine hat-trick.
Race 9 No17 QUIET KING (Nap)
Trainer: Stephane Wattel – Jockey: Alexis Pouchin
QUIET KING steps from defeat in a maiden to looking the most unexposed runner in this competitive handicap that concludes the Saturday card. He has a lot of ability, and if converting his potential can prevail.
