Hollie Doyle Weighs In On French Derby Contenders

Hollie Doyle expects Constitution River to perform well in the French Derby.

The horse faces a challenging draw, but Doyle believes it won't hinder its chances.

Constitution River has a difficult starting position, but its talent and past performances make it a contender.

Aidan O'Brien's concern about the draw is understandable, but Ryan Moore's skill as a jockey can mitigate the issue.

Hollie Doyle also discussed Hankelow, a promising colt with Classic credentials.

Daryzan, a half-brother to Arc hero Daryz, has raw ability but lacks experience and faces a step up in distance.

Hawk Mountain has done well, including a successful re-appearance at Chantilly, and will wear blinkers for the first time.

Doyle will be watching the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Chester, where Andrew Balding's Pure Grit is set to re-appear.

Pure Grit did well on its debut at Newbury and is expected to be more street-wise this time.

Palmar Bay, a class dropper, has a good chance in the Virgin Bet Handicap at Chester, having run with credit in Listed company.

Doyle's insights provide valuable perspective on the upcoming races, highlighting key horses and their potential.

The French Derby, set to take place on Sunday, will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing, offering an exciting opportunity to watch top-class action.

As the racing season continues, Hollie Doyle's expertise and commentary will remain essential for fans and followers.
