The Punt Daily: Tom Collins' free horse racing tip for Tuesday's French action

EYECATCHER

(12.10 Dieppe)

Bred to be a stayer and certainly shaping that way in three career outings, Valeya showed significant improvement for being stepped up to 1m4f last time at Compiegne and can follow up now upped in grade. Alain de Royer-Dupre's filly showed guts and determination to fend off the battle of her nearest pursuer last time and cleared away in the final furlong. Christophe Soumillon, who rode that day, has decided to jump ship to ride the talented ten-year-old Golden Wood, but I fancy his young rival to fend him off.
