2025 Prix du Moulin Runners
The betting for Sunday's feature at Longchamp is dominated by the top British and Irish milers. Rosallion heads the betting, despite only finishing fourth in the City Of York Stakes last time out. Aidan O'Brien's Henri Mattise returns to France for the first time since his victory in the French 2000 Guineas.
Christophe Soumillon will ride the second-favourite, with Wayne Lordan aboard Ballydoyle's second-string The Lion In Winter. The first two from the Lockinge Stakes earlier in the season, Lead Artist and Dancing Gemini also feature in the line-up. Callum Shepherd will spring out of stall one aboard recent Group Three winner Quddwah.
You have to scroll down to the 16/1 shots until you reach the first home challenger, Francis Graffard's Prix Daphnis winner Sahlan. Cristian Demuro rides Alcantor for Andrew Fabre, with Aurelien Lemaitre partnering with multiple Group race placer, Marhaba Ya Sanafi.
William Buick rides Persica for Richard Hannon. Koichi Shintani's Go To First will fly the flag for Japanese racing. Aidan O'Brien's pacemaker, Serengeti completes the line-up.
2025 Prix du Moulin Tips
I'm happy to chance DANCING GEMINI (5/1), following an encouraging run in the Jacques le Marois. Rossa Ryan's mount helped The Lion In Winter make the running that day and hit the front with two furlongs to travel, but was passed late on by Diego Velazquez and Notable Speech, and finished a length benind the victory in third.
Dancing Gemini started the season in excellent form, winning both the Doncaster Mile and the bet365 Mile, before an unlucky defeat in the Lockinge. A slow pace on fast ground at Royal Ascot really didn't suit Roger Teal's mount, with Dancing Gemini beating just two horses home when eighth at the Royal Meeting.
Softer ground on Sunday will certainly favour Teal's four-year-old, who went close on his only previous visit to Longchamp in the 2024 French 2000 Guineas. Hopefully Ryan will be able to slot in comfortably from a wideish draw in stall nine, and a good pace should be provided by the pacemaker Serengeti, Quddwah and The Lion In Winter - with the latter two needing a fast start from low stall positions.
Verdict
Dancing Gemini is our best bet in Sunday's Prix du Moulin.
