The Group Three Prix Sigy headlines Tuesday’s action on Sky Sports Racing as Karl Burke’s Soul Love heads over to Chantilly for the sprint contest.

3.50 Chantilly - Moojeed, Soul Love & Argentine Tango clash

It looks a deep renewal of the Prix Sigy with Argentine Tango and Soul Love spearheading the British interest.

Karl Burke was among the winners in France on Sunday and he saddles the unbeaten Soul Love under Sam James.

A daughter of Starman, she has impressed in winning both starts on the all-weather but will need to improve again if she is to be competitive here. She deserves a crack at this higher level and could be above average.

Francis-Henri Graffard fields Moojeed who scored at Group Three level as a two-year-old before disappointing behind Green Sense in the Prix Robert Papin. She will be expected to bounce back under Mickael Brzalona.

Argentine Tango was highly tried at two and showed plenty of excellent form including when winning a Listed contest at Newmarket. Her connections report her to be in fine form, and she could give a good account.

Jospeh O'Brien's Yaupon De Replay and Kimi Rey rate best of the rest.

There could be a smart filly or two among the five-runner Download The At The Races App Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Lingfield as Lara Antipova and Lahan Kingman bid to break their duck.

4.52 Newton Abbot - Soldierofthestorm & Tapley do battle

For jumps fans, there is a six-race card down at Newton Abbot, where recent winners Soldierofthestorm and Tapley headline in the Visit Kauto The King 6th May Handicap Chase at Newton Abbot.

Tapley looks the chief danger for the Suzy Smith team. He built on a couple of placed efforts to land a second fencing success at Stratford and warrants respect under Isabelle Ryder.
