R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DE VILLENEUVE-SUR-LOT – 2850m (a2m) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 40,000

  1. ORANGE CRUSH – Debuts at Vincennes following back-to-back wins at home in Wolvega, the latest a comfortable mile success last month. With the champion driver booked, a hat-trick remains well within reach
  2. OVER THE LIGHT AS – Sanctioned over 2840m in Mons 3.5 weeks ago. Disappointing for the most part this year and can be passed over
  3. FALSTAFF FONT – Won 2 in a row before coming 4th of 7 finishers in a valuable event over 1640m in Gothenburg early last month. Gabi Gelormini in the bike this time and will be expected to challenge for a place in the picture
  4. BLACK HEUVELLAND – Won a brace in Hamburg before running 4th of 8 over 2600m in Victoria Park 3 weeks ago. Takes on a better lot here but is still worth monitoring
  5. READY HILL – Well-regarded German gelding making Vincennes bow on a 3-timer. 4th in last year’s 3yo German Criterium and warrants considerable respect
  6. LASCAR PILE – 5th of 9 behind LITTERAIRE (10) in a 2700m Class D here 3 weeks ago and quite simply has too much ground to make up
  7. FONZIE MABEL – 2nd of 6 in a 2060m amateurs event in Turin on 11 May. Goes barefoot as he did here in January but still has more to find
  8. LASER MAGIC – Made it 3 on the trot when easily winning a 2950m Vichy Class E 3 weeks ago. Has never delivered racing left-handed but sports a fresh configuration and in current condition is hard to ignore
  9. LOMBARDO DE LOU – Lost his action in a 2700m Class D here on 2 May. Has bags of ability though, races barefoot for the occasion, and will not be far from the action if he gets off on the right foot
  10. LITTERAIRE – Sanctioned when preparing for this in a 3000m Nantes Class D last Monday. Is quite clearly in rude health though and will be expected to take all the beating
    Summary: Nicely-engaged close to the limit of earnings, and barefoot following his Nantes prep, LITTERAIRE (10) looks the pick of the field, although Julien Dubois will be minded to keep an eye on serious Dutch type ORANGE CRUSH (1) who receives an Eric Raffin drive for his hat-trick bid, and German raider READY HILL (5) who is similarly on a 3-timer, but with Benjamin Rochard reining. Second of Michel Rothengatter’s runners, FALSTAFF FONT (3) has won 3 of 4 when barefoot and looks significantly more competitive than he did here earlier in the year.
    SELECTIONS
    LITTERAIRE (10) – ORANGE CRUSH (1) – READY HILL (5) – FALSTAFF FONT (3)
    C2 – PRIX D’ARPAJON – 2175m (a1m1/4) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 46,000
  11. JOYCE DREAM – 6th of 13 in a 2450m Caen Class E a week ago and with front shoes back on will struggle to make her presence felt
  12. JEALOUS GIRL – Encouraged at Le Croise-Laroche before running 8th of 12 in a 2875m Enghien Class D 2 weeks ago and is not about to spring any surprises
  13. JAPONICA – Back under harness after running 4th of 11 in a 2950m Vichy monte Class E on 11 May. Is as good in one code as the other, races barefoot for the occasion, and debuts over the distance with a respectable chance of making first 5
  14. JUMBY BAY – Returns to racing barefoot after running 3rd of 11 to JOY DU CARNOIS (12) in a 2950m Le Mans Class D on 22 May. Unlikely to get her nose in front but still warrants respect
  15. JADE DE NAVARY – Returns to the capital after coming 2nd of 15 in a 2800m amateurs Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 2.5 weeks ago. Placed in similar company here early last month, races unshod-behind this time, and will have her supporters
  16. JUANA DE SEY – Won a Maure Class F on 11 May before coming 4th of 12, a place behind INDULGENTE (7), in a 2200m Caen Class D 10 days ago. Has no Vincennes references though and cannot be considered a priority
  17. INDULGENTE – Made up for Alencon sanction when 3rd of 12 in a 2200m Caen Class D 10 days ago. Mathieu Mottier in the wagon this time but a repeat still seems unlikely
  18. JULIE DU CLOS – Bizarrely lacklustre 8th of 11 to JOY DU CARNOIS (12) in a 2950m Le Mans Class D on 22 May. Races barefoot this time, with Guillaume Martin reining, and with application can pleasantly surprise
  19. JASMINE DE JYR – In the frame in 3 of last 4, latterly 2nd of 11 to JOY DU CARNOIS (12) in a 2950m Le Mans Class D on 22 May, and should again figure prominently
  20. JAMAICA DE LOU – Unable to confirm Laval success when sanctioned in a 2800m Cholet Class E on 13 May. Should not be too hastily-judged and, already twice a winner here, could make a big splash
  21. JOUVENCE SECRETE – Like a horse reborn since starting to race with hind shoes off, latterly winning a 2100m amateurs Class G here 3.5 weeks ago, and steps back up in category with a good hand to play
  22. JOY DU CARNOIS – Classy character that stormed up in a 2950m Class D at Le Mans on 22 May and, barefoot again, is in with a reasonable shout of repeating
  23. JOYCE DES GRANGES – Placed at Strasbourg but uninspiring 9th of 12, a place behind JEALOUS GIRL (2), in a 2875m Enghien Class D 2 weeks ago, and will need to find more
    Summary: A fine servant when focused, JOY DU CARNOIS (12) won impressively at Le Mans late last month and even though unproven at Vincennes, she is still easy to like for the win. JAMAICA DE LOU (10) lost her action last time out but has otherwise been in cracking form and looks the main threat. Firing on all cylinders for the past 3 months, JOUVENCE SECRETE (11) faces a stiffer test over the main track but has yet to disappoint in the day’s configuration and will be expected to play an active role. JASMINE DE JYR (9) has been knocking at the door and is unlikely to be far off the mark.
    SELECTIONS
    JOY DU CARNOIS (12) – JAMAICA DE LOU (10) – JOUVENCE SECRETE (11) – JASMINE DE JYR (9)
    C3 – PRIX DU MANS – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 41,000
  24. KIARA BLUE – Tenacious mare making first start since running 2nd of 12 in a 2850m Laval Class E on 30 April. Has 2 runs under her belt and with form maintained can impose this time
  25. KANTARELLINA CHIC – Sprang a 119/1 surprise when 4th of 14 in a 3000m Marseille-Borély Class E on 29 May but, even with hind shoes off, is not about to repeat
  26. KANAILLE ROYALE – Solid in 2 of last 3, latterly 2nd of 9 to KEDEA DE GINAI (6) in a 2800m Tours Class F on 18 May, and with stride in check could yet turn the tables
  27. KISSES ROYALE – Made amends for Vincennes blip when 4th of 10 in a 2700m Thouars Class F late last month. Tends to go well for Yoann Lebourgeois and has a decent chance of picking up some prizemoney
  28. KALI DES LANDIERS – Ran respectable 5th of 12 in a 3000m Nantes Class E on 29 May but on this occasion looks to be out of her league
  29. KEDEA DE GINAI – Put a pair of sanctions behind her to comfortably win a 2800m Tours Class F on 18 May. Will appreciate the return to a hard surface and is not incapable of doubling her money
  30. KARA DE PIERREPONT – Imposed at Meslay-du-Maine but failed to confirm when 7th of 13 in a 2950m Le Mans Class E on 22 May. Not a priority but can still get a look-in
  31. KELLE EAU – Sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes Class E a fortnight ago. Is not devoid of ability but appears to be off the boil and cannot be considered a player
  32. KOREA – Sanctioned in 2 of 3 this term, latterly a 2950m Le Mans Class E on 22 May. Has bags of ability though and will not be far off the mark if Mathieu Mottier keeps her focused
  33. KITTY RANAISE – Last but one in a 2850m Class D here when preparing for this 2.5 weeks ago. Races first-time barefoot but still not a concern
  34. KALINE DU BOULAY – Has shown improvement lately, most recently running 4th of 10 in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 8 days ago and with Eric Raffin in the bike is not to be underestimated
  35. KELOMA DREAM – Ran 2nd at Graignes before coming 4th of 12 behind KIARA BLUE (1) in a 2850m Laval Class E on 30 April. Has never produced the goods at Vincennes though and others easier to back
    Summary: It took little time for KIARA BLUE (1) to get back in the game following her break and, confirmed under these conditions, a repeat of her Laval performance would see her win this. Clarisse Lelièvre will still be keeping an eye on the complicated KEDEA DE GINAI (6) who returned to winning ways at Tours 3 weeks ago, and a reconfigured KALINE DU BOULAY (11) who has been entrusted to Eric Raffin for the first time. Last of 12 at Laval, KANAILLE ROYALE (3) ran 2nd to Guillaume Martin’s mare at Tours and with application will be no pushover.
    SELECTIONS
    KIARA BLUE (1) – KEDEA DE GINAI (6) – KALINE DU BOULAY (11) – KANAILLE ROYALE (3)
    C4 – PRIX JEAN LE GONIDEC – 2175m (a1m1/4) – Gr2 Race – Harness – EUR € 120,000
  36. KOH SAMUI – Last of 13 in a 2150m Enghien Class C a fortnight ago. Races shod and will have nothing to offer
  37. KAVALA DE PADD – 2nd of 15 in a 2150m Class A at Enghien 2 weeks ago. Steps back up in category but would be preferred more competitively shod
  38. KAPORAL DES FORGES – 5th of 15 behind KAVALA DE PADD (2) in a 2150m Class A at Enghien 2 weeks ago and in this company will struggle to make his mark
  39. KOBAYASHI – 2nd in Gr.2 Prix Robert Auvray before enduring a tough trip in the race of reference, finishing 8th of 13. Mathieu Mottier in the bike this time and looks a player
  40. KEEN WINNER – 6th of 16 in a 2700m Gr.3 here on 14 May. Always gives her best but is a far cry from last summer’s form
  41. KARLITO – 3rd of 15, a place behind KAVALA DE PADD (2), in a 2150m Enghien Class A 2 weeks ago. Never easy to gauge but is Gr.1-placed and deserves to be taken seriously
  42. KATAKI DE WALLIS – Left a fine impression when 2nd of 13 in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Albert Demarcq here on 3 May. Is plainly close to his race and is in with a realistic shout of imposing
  43. KAMEHAMEHA – Unthreatening before being demoted in 2700m Gr.2 Prix Robert Auvray on 12 April. Is no star but appreciates 2175m here and, reconfigured for the occasion, merits respect
  44. KYRIELLE – Lost her action under the saddle before running 6th of 13 in Prix Albert Demarcq early last month and will need to show marked improvement
  45. KING OPERA – Sanctioned on re-entry in 3 May race of reference, although would have run 4th had he not clashed in the straight. Shoes on again and although not a priority is still worth keeping an eye on
  46. KANTO AVIS – Won 2 on the trot before coming 4th of 13 in 3 May race of reference. Boasts solid references over 2175m and looks main threat to KATAKI DE WALLIS (7)
  47. KRACK TIME ATOUT – Has not been seen out since running 13th of 18 in 2700m Gr.2 Prix de Bretagne last November. Has talent to burn but is still in conditioning mode and unlikely to be given a hard race
  48. KANA DE BEYLEV – Excellent in Prix Henri Levesque before coming valiant 3rd of 13 in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Albert Demarcq here on 3 May. Excels under these conditions and could well impose
    Summary: The line of the Gr.2 Prix Albert Demarcq is a good yardstick for this somewhat more particular affair. Runner-up to the untouchable Koctel Du Dain that day, KATAKI DE WALLIS (7) races barefoot again, over a distance he appreciates, and can impose. There will be no shortage of resistance though from Gr.2 Prix Robert Auvray winner, the barefoot KANTO AVIS (11), who ran 4th, a place behind KANA DE BEYLEV (13) who had won the Gr.2 Prix Henri Levesque just 3 weeks earlier. Barefoot this time, KOBAYASHI (4) will be expected to bounce back, while a barefoot KARLITO (6) can make a big splash if applied.
    SELECTIONS
    KATAKI DE WALLIS (7) – KANTO AVIS (11) – KANA DE BEYLEV (13) – KOBAYASHI (4)
    C5 – PRIX CHAMBON P – 2850m (a2m) – Gr2 Race – Harness – EUR € 120,000
  49. DEUS ZACK – Returns to Paris after coming 5th of 9 over 1600m in Gr.1 Gran Premio Lotteria early last month. Has done little of note here for some time though and others easier to back
  50. IGUSKI SAUTONNE – Has turned a corner since moving to Matthieu Abrivard’s yard, most recently excellent 2nd of 11 in 2450m Gr.2 Prix des Ducs de Normandie on 10 May, and will be expected to give INEXESS BLEU (7) a run for his money
  51. GENDREEN – 4th in race of reference at 51/1 before faulting in a 3150m Class A at La Roche-Posay last weekend and is not about to create an upset
  52. GASPAR DE BRION – Has not been seen out since running 8th of 13 to INEXESS BLEU (7) in 2700m Gr.2 Prix Kerjacques here on 5 April and with shoes on can be confidently ruled out
  53. FAKIR DE MAHEY – 3rd of 8 in Gr.3 Prix Jean Riaud here on 23 May. Is plainly back on track and will not be sent out at 28/1 this time
  54. GASPAR D’ANGIS – Steps back up in class after coming 2nd of 8 to INEXESS BLEU (7) in 2850m Gr.3 Prix Jean Riaud on 23 May. Consistently gives his best and with form maintained can again make the frame
  55. INEXESS BLEU – Outstanding campaigner chasing a ninth consecutive win after a commanding performance in the 2850m Gr.3 Prix Jean Riaud on 23 May. Very much the one to beat again
  56. INA DU RIB – 6th of 8 to INEXESS BLEU (7) in race of reference. Has other priorities and can be disregarded
  57. HOOKER BERRY – Disqualified from 3rd in Prix de l’Atlantique before finishing last in Elitlopp heat over a mile 2 weeks ago. Enjoys solid course-and-distance credentials though and Benjamin Rochard will be eager to put things right
    Summary: Undefeated in his last 8 races, INEXESS BLEU (7) was undeniably one of the winter meeting’s revelations and, very much at home under these conditions, has every chance of keeping his unbeaten 2025 record intact. Surprise Prix de l’Atlantique winner IGUSKI SAUTONNE (2) ran a superb 2nd place in the Prix des Ducs de Normandie at Caen and although less-performant over 2850m here, and with hind shoes back on, he is nevertheless in cracking form and runs on his merits. Runner-up to Alexandre Abrivard’s horse in the Gr.3 Prix Jean Riaud, GASPAR D’ANGIS (6) looks particularly competitive, as does FAKIR DE MAHEY (5) who finished close to him that day.
    SELECTIONS
    INEXESS BLEU (7) – IGUSKI SAUTONNE (2) – GASPAR D’ANGIS (6) – FAKIR DE MAHEY (5)
    C6 – PRIX GUY LE GONIDEC – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Gr2 Race – Harness – EUR € 120,000
  58. LUNELLA LEMAN – Finished last of 10 in a Class B under these conditions mid-May and is unlikely to play an active role
  59. LUMINEUSE DE BRION – Steps back up in category after winning a Class C over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Has won 2 of 3 under these conditions but may just be taking on too much
  60. LUMINOSITY – Disappointing so far this term, most recently sanctioned in a Gr.3 over course and distance early last month, and others easier to back
  61. LIBERTE DE CHOISEL – Winner of all 4 starts this season, most recently a Class B under these conditions early last month. Comes here fresh and with shoes off for the occasion will not be easily opposed
  62. LUDIVINE – Showed the limit of her capacity when 11th of 13 behind LILAS CASTELLE (10) in a Gr.3 over track and trip a fortnight back and would be preferred a level down
  63. LUSH LIFE – Unplaced in last 2, latterly 7th of 13 behind LILAS CASTELLE (10) in a Gr.3 over course and distance on 3 May, and is not about to spice things up
  64. LARA DU GOUTIER – Made quite the impact when victorious in a 2700m Class A here, on re-entry, late-April. Has freshness on her side, will have progressed for the run, and looks dangerous
  65. LAUREATE DRY – Fine servant that lost all chance at the start of a Gr.3 over course and distance on 3 May, coming 9th of 13 behind LILAS CASTELLE (10). Is reunited with Alexandre Abrivard who will be keen to set the record straight
  66. LA STAR ROC – Returns to racing barefoot after faulting early in a 2450m Caen Gr.3 on comeback a month ago. Will be fully fit by now but looks more a minor place prospect this time
  67. LILAS CASTELLE – 8th of 13 when preparing for this in a Gr.3 over track and trip fortnight back. Is barefoot, with Benjamin Rochard back in the bike, and with application can figure prominently
  68. LOUISIANE DE BOMO – Serious filly but has not been seen out since coming last of 8 in 2175m Gr.2 Prix Uranie last October and is going to need the race
  69. LONDON – Starts for first time since winning a 2200m Gr.1 here on 1 March. Will be barefoot though and on good behaviour can bring the fight to LIBERTE DE CHOISEL (4)
  70. LIZA JOSSELYN – Exceptional filly making first appearance since running 4th of 10 in 2100m Gr.1 Prix Ready Cash here 6 months ago. Unlikely too get her nose in front this time but is not going to be far from the action
    Summary: Unbeaten in 7 starts over a hard surface, LIBERTE DE CHOISEL (4) faces a stiffer test this time but has talent in spades and, racing first-time barefoot, can continue her successful march forward. Anthony Barrier will be justifiably wary though of the Mathieu Mottier reined-and-trained LONDON (12) who has not been seen out since winning the Gr.1 Prix de Séléction in early-March, and LARA DU GOUTIER (7) who defied her odds to win over course and distance on her comeback. The Bazire stables sends out a reconfigured LIZA JOSSELYN (13) for her first start of 2025 and while capable of imposing on any given day, may just be a race shy.
    SELECTIONS
    LIBERTE DE CHOISEL (4) – LONDON (12) – LARA DU GOUTIER (7) – LIZA JOSSELYN (13)
    C7 – PRIX DU QUERCY – 2850m (a2m) – Class B Race – Harness – EUR € 75,000
  71. JET EXPRESS – 3rd in a 2700m Gr.3 here prior to being denied a run, coming 8th of 14 in a 2150m Enghien Class A 2 weeks ago. Front shoes off this time and can play a prominent role if kept out of trouble
  72. JOLIE STAR – Returns to racing barefoot after being boxed in behind JET EXPRESS (1), coming 12th of 14 in a 2150m Enghien Class A 2 weeks ago. Is never far from faulting but is a tough nut when focused and merits respect
  73. JUST A BOY D’ALESA – Ran 2nd to JOLIE STAR (2) on comeback before failing to deliver, coming 12th of 14, in a 2100m Class D here on 2 May. Has been freshly-reconfigured and Mathieu Mottier will be keen to make amends
  74. JANZIBAR – Excellent at Maure before running 4th of 12 in a 2450m Caen Class C a month back. Is arguably better under the saddle but in current for is easy to recommend for a place on the podium
  75. JASON – Has not been seen out since finishing last but one in a 2700m Class C here on 12 April. Front pads fitted and will have nothing to contribute
  76. JOLIE SURPRISE – Made up for Maure sanction when 3rd of 11 in a 2100m Class C here 3 weeks ago and with JMB in the bike will have a legitimate claim on the prize
  77. HARDI CROWN – Good dual-discipline type that ran 5th of 13 and a 2700m Vincennes Class C a fortnight ago but may just be taking on too much this time
  78. GUAPO MARBOULA – 7th of 13 in a 2450m Caen monte Class B on 10 May. Has other ambitions and can be ruled out
  79. JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL – Won a Class A here before coming 2nd of 14 in a 2800m Gr.3 at Le Croise-Laroche 2.5 weeks ago and, shod to preference, will be expected to contest the finish
  80. JACK TONIC – Put on a fine show to run 2nd of 15 in a competitive 2550m Reims Gr.3 on 9 April. On back line again, but comes here fresh, and will not go down without a fight
  81. HORCHESTRO – Kicked the year off well but disappointing in the last three, latterly sanctioned in a 2550m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Gr.3 late-April. Races barefoot, with Eric Raffin in the bike for the first time, but others still easier to back
    Summary: Barring her unfortunate Maure sanction, JOLIE SURPRISE (6) has otherwise been as solid as a rock this year and with Jean-Michel Bazire reining for the first time, should garner the lion’s share of support. Excellent on re-entry before a surprisingly lacklustre performance here in early-May, JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (9) sports a fresh configuration and even though 25m worse off will still be competitive for the win. JANZIBAR (4) has not put a foot out of line since mid-January and, barefoot as he was at Maure-de-Bretagne, will be no easy touch. A Group-class trotter, JACK TONIC (10) is forced to start on the 2nd row and has not been seen for 2 months but, as he showed at Reims, it should make little difference.

    C8 – PRIX JULES THIBAULT – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Gr2 Race – Harness – EUR € 120,000
  82. LIVE TO TELL – Pleasantly surprising 3rd of 13 to LANCIER DU GOUTIER (2) in a Gr.3 over course and distance on 23 May. Sports modified shoeing but still seems to be taking on too much
  83. LANCIER DU GOUTIER – Quality individual that romped in a Gr.3 over course and distance on 23 May. Makes first foray into Gr.2 category but looks thoroughly up to the task. Chance
  84. LOVER MAN – In the frame in all 3 starts this term, most recently runner-up to LANCIER DU GOUTIER (2) in a Gr.3 over course and distance on 23 May. Has never failed to fire at Vincennes and looks a solid first-5 chance
  85. LORD DU BASSIN – 4th of 11 to L’AS DESBOIS (6) in a Gr.3 over course and distance early last month despite being denied a run. In superior company this time though and no more than a minor place chance
  86. LE BILLET VERT – 2nd to LEARN TO FLY (10) before coming close 3rd of 9 in a 2450m Caen Gr.3 on 10 May. Consistently gives his best and will not be going home empty-handed
  87. L’AS DESBOIS – Has taken his game up a notch since starting to race barefoot, latterly dominating a Gr.3 over course and distance early last month. Not a priority but still has the wherewithal to finish in the mix
  88. LIONHEART – Classy campaigner in both codes, latterly 4th of 9 in a monte Gr.2 over course and distance 8 days ago. JMB in the bike but still not a concern
  89. LEMON TREE – Useful colt but has not been seen out since finishing last but one in a 2100m Gr.2 here 4 months ago. Shoes on and no threat
  90. LUCKY JACKSON – Back under harness after faulting in a monte Gr.2 over course and distance 8 days ago and chances limited
  91. LEARN TO FLY – Made it 2 on the trot when dominating a 2875m Enghien Gr.2 on 19 April. Is unbeaten in the day’s configuration and Paul Ploquin can be confident of another big run
  92. LIGHT MY FIRE – Makes first appearance since running 2nd of 12 in 2175m Gr.1 Prix de Séléction on 1 March. Similarly shod for re-entry and must be taken more seriously this time. Place prospect
  93. LUCIANO MENUET – Below-par for some time, most recently sanctioned in a 2450m Caen Gr.3 last month. Excellent at 2 and 3 but has since lost his way
  94. LOVINO BELLO – Classy colt that didn’t skip a beat on re-entry, winning a 2450m Caen G.3 on 10 May. Has nothing to prove under these conditions and looks the one to beat
    Summary: With 3 runners in the race, Thierry Duvaldestin should be able to wrap this up. Dual Gr.1 winner LOVINO BELLO (13) made a fine comeback at Caen a month ago and, difficult to fault over 2700m here, will likely take all the beating. Main opposition comes from stablemate LANCIER DU GOUTIER (2) who simply keeps on progressing, and LIGHT MY FIRE (11) who is competitively shod for his first start since running 2nd to the good London in the Prix de Séléction in early-March. Entrusted to Paul Ploquin for the first time, LEARN TO FLY (10) has turned a corner this year and will be expected to finish close.

  95. JOUR DE GLOIRE – 9th of 12 to JIDEO STREET (4) in a 2200m Class D at Caen 10 days ago. Barefoot this time but can still be confidently ruled out
  96. JAG HAUFOR – Useful but delicate sort that dominated a 2725m Graignes Class E a fortnight ago. Goes barefoot again and with application can finish in the mix
  97. JERICHO VEDAQUAIS – Confirmed Reims success when winning a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class D unopposed 3 weeks ago. Is new to the venue but is hard to ignore. Chance
  98. JIDEO STREET – Back in the capital after a dominant display over 2200m in a Class D at Caen just 10 days ago. Proven barefoot and sets the standard here
  99. JARDYLAND – Ran 4th of 10 behind JOYEUX MESLOIS (8) in a 2850m Maure Class E a month ago, on just 2nd start back and, if fully-fit and applied, can make a big impact
  100. JOB DU PERSIL – Steps back up in category after coming 5th of 9 in a 2100m amateurs Class F here 2.5 weeks ago but can expect little support
  101. JOB DES LOUANGES – Placed at Chartres before coming 5th of 10 in a 2150m Vichy Class B on 12 May. Runs without shoes for the first time in over a year and warrants close attention
  102. JOYEUX MESLOIS – Placed in 2 before running 6th of 15 in a 2400m Class F at Beaumont-de-Lomagne 3 weeks back. Barefoot for the occasion but has no love for the main track and chances limited
  103. I LOVE IGNY – Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2600m Class F at Châlons-en-Champagne on 25 May. Shod to preference this time but still not a concern
  104. JUGEMENT D’AVE – 8th of 11 when being conditioned for this in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F late last month. Has little Vincennes experience but is a tenacious type with every chance of finishing in the frame
    Summary: Clearly back in business following a tough start to the year, JIDEO STREET (4) runs barefoot this time and although lacking Vincennes credentials, still looks a leading candidate. He will still face opposition from JERICHO VEDAQUAIS (3) who makes his Vincennes bow on a hat-trick, and a barefoot JARDYLAND (5) who reassured at Maure-de-Bretagne last month. Shod to preference following his turf prep, JUGEMENT D’AVE (10) tends to go well for Yoann Lebourgeois.

  1. KANDO – Admirable 2nd in a maiden over 2400m at Lion D’Angers on the 6th of May 2025. Can be the lurker of the pack
  2. THE FRENCH SON – Smart debut finishing 2nd in a maiden over 2300m at Le Mans on the 3rd of May 2025. Could go one more here
  3. MENCOLEK – Encouraging debut finishing 4th in a maiden over 2000m at Chantilly on the 2nd of May 2025. Strong winning contentions
  4. STARLORD – Good 2nd in a maiden over 2000m at Compiegne on the 21st of May 2025. Does hold a big shout
  5. EASTER DU PAS – Out of the 4 time winning mare Why Wait while the sire, Castle Du Berlais was a Listed winner and mainly performed in Hurdles races
  6. ARNAY LE DUC – Out of the unraced mare La Buisse while the sire, Sageburg was a Group I winning horse. Might need the debut experience
    Summary: MENCOLEK (3) produced an encouraging debut performance over the 2000m. The step up to 2400m is going to be ideal for him which he could make it a winning effort in his second start. STARLORD (4) has had six starts to date and has not missed a cheque. He understands racing by now and looks to be the perfect race where stars can align for him in victory. THE FRENCH SON (2) ran a cracking second and has the ability to go one more here. KANDO (1) improved in his last start over the distance and a repetition of that run could see him posing as the lurker.

    Summary: FORNALI (3) must be given all attention when she produced a solid second over the distance. She understands the trip now and can easily make amends for her last start. ALWAYS TIME (8) produced an eye-catching debut when finishing second and the extra 100m could find herself romping home. BONNIE MOON (5) makes her French debut having come from Irish soil. She ran an honest race in a Listed and being lightly raced, she must be given consideration. BRASILIA (1) holds a place chance at best.

  18. PRADARO – Supplemented Pradaro tried his utmost best finishing 8th in a Group III over 1000m at Chantilly on the 1st of June 2025. Strong winning chance
  19. LE CENTRAL – Finished 11th in a Class 3 Handicap over 1000m at Parislongchamp on the 25th of May 2025. If penultimate start is repeated, can be a larger quartet inclusion

    Summary: Supplemented PRADARO (4) has all the limelight on him as he brings Group III contest into this race and is the strong contender to beat. IMPITOYABLE (2), KING ROBBE (1) and EXCALIBUR (9) are no strangers to each other having met in their last start and although IMPITOYABLE (2) finished eighth in the race, there is a weight turn around which could see him finishing closer than his previous start. KING ROBBE (1) ran a pleasing fifth and will be trying his best to regain his throne. EXCALIBUR (9) ran a good fourth and will be involved in the shakeup.

  33. CAPOUCHINE – Finished 6th in a Claimer over 1200m at Evreux on the 27th of May 2025. Others seem more intriguing
    Summary: WANA CHOPE (5) was thrown into a Listed race in her penultimate start but regained her form when finishing fourth in her last start. She meets the perfect field to crack her maiden streak. MINOTOR (1) finished ahead of the top selector in their Listed race and already knows what it takes to get a win under the belt. He looks to be the ultimate danger to the top choice. SUCH A LOVELY DAY (3) will look to brighten her day as she delivered a solid debut run finishing third and could go closer this time around. HAYANDEE (4) wraps up the mix.

    Summary: DYONISOS (1) is absolutely loving life having won two of his last three starts and stands tall here as the attractive horse to beat. HEY VINCE (3) is in honest form of late and although he prefers further, he will be running on strongly over the 1100m. VALENTIA ISLAND (5) was a winner in her last start over the distance when breaking her maiden and must be a consideration for the places. AWJ (2) was a visitor to Spanish territory last time out and delivered a bold third. Returning to French soil could see her producing similar efforts.

ZELZAL DREAM (3) is certainly not out of it and has the ability to threaten all opposition in his way. He looks to have met the perfect field that can make all winning dreams come true. HALL OF FAME (5) has showed improvement when he stepped back to the 1100m. He returns to this trip and can produce a similar sort of run. SEINE LADY (12) prefers further and will be a strong finishing horse.

  70. KOPPER CROWN – Supplemented Kopper Crown is out of the unraced mare Sikkim while the sire, Dariyan was a multiple Group winner. Will need the educational run
  71. COMPOSITION – Out of the 1 time winning mare Peinture Abstraite who competed in a Group III and Listed while the sire, Anodin was a Group winner. This Filly has a decent pedigree line which will be one to watch out for
  72. FIFTH ELEMENT – Out of the 2 time winning mare Pure Art while he sire, Sea The Stars was a multiple Group winner who has won every start of his career. This well bred filly could be anything on debut
    Summary: SOEUR (12) is a model of consistency in the maiden field and having the experience, she should be ready to relish her opposition and bring home her first gold medal. Supplemented TERRA MADRE (13) has had three starts thus far and searches to improve on her current form. She has the ability to make a big splash. FIFTH ELEMENT (16) is a well bred filly and she does not meet the strongest of fields on debut and would certainly be of no surprise if she makes it a victorious one. GRAND MACHO (8) could have more to offer.

    Summary: INVIIOLABLE SPIRIT (12) ran a solid third in similar company last time out and has the accolades to erupt the finishing line this time out. JUMANO (13) is capable of making the selection work hard for success. His jockey understands him well enough to cause havoc at the finishing post. Supplemented TALLINSKI (14) has not been far off the action and is one to be with for the placings. ANDARTIS (3) ran a blinder of a 2nd and a repeated effort will see him being the livewire waiting to spark up this field.

RIASSOU (4) failed to fire up in her post maiden effort but should be able to produce a strong effort in this event. CEDRUS (7) has been a fairly consistent sort without winning but should have a say in the outcome. GLORY WOOD (2) is capable of running into the minor positions.

NATIVE IRISH (4) makes his French debut and looks to have a bit of potential soi could be one to keep a close eye on.

    Summary: CASHLYN CAVALIER (4) arrives in terrific form having won his last two outings and looks to be ideally placed to strike and make it three in a row. NEW WAY BABY (8) produced a good finish last time out and with a bit of luck in transit, she will be involved in the shake up. BAILEYS HONEYMOON (2) went handicapping for the first time last time out which unlocked quite a bit and there is no reason to suggest that she can’t go in again. STELLAR CHOP (3) has the form to be competitive once again.

    Summary: MELOSA (3) has shown ability in the few starts to date and now goes handicapping which could unlock a different side of her. She remains with plenty of scope for improvement and should be involved. HOT AND BEAUTY (2) has shown up well in the past and is capable of earning here. MY SECRET LIGHT (1) gets weight off the back and on some of her better efforts, she can have a say in the outcome. LADY MADEIRA (4) shed her maiden tag last time out and with confidence on her side, she could be dangerous.

  51. LOCH AWE – Won on debut last year in June and was 4th on the latest run over 2000m at La Teste on July 10th in a Class 1 race. Might need this run after an absence
  52. GILDED DRAGON – Unplaced over hurdles on February 19th in a Class 4 race when last seen, he won at Saint-Cloud on October 10th in a handicap before that. Best watched for the time being
  53. MONSIEUR CROCO – Unplaced last time, a good 4th before that over 2000m at this track on April 23rd in a Class 3 race. Player
  54. SHEEMA’S ROSE – Unplaced in a Listed race last time on May 29th, 7th before that at Parislongchamp on April 24th in a Class 3 race over 2500m. Can be competitive
    Summary: MONSIEUR CROCO (9) was a good fourth two runs back at this track over 2000m in late April in a Class 3 race, and although a tad below par last time, it was a strong Class 2 race. He can edge this over SHEEMA’S ROSE (10), who found Listed class too much last time, but acquitted herself well enough when seventh in a Class 3 in April on her penultimate start. SPLENDINO (5) has each-way claims, and EVERILLO (6) is also worth considering.

  57. ORLHENA – Unplaced on her last three runs, 3rd before that over 2500m at Evreux on April 15th in a Class 4 claimer. Capable of a good run
  58. POLYSPEED – Two unplaced runs recently, 8th on the latest over 2400m at Salon Provence in a Class 3 handicap on May 15th. He won on the PSF in late March. Drops in class and could be on the premises
  59. THEATRE LODGE – Two unplaced efforts since a 3rd over 1800m at Naples (ITA) on February 15th. Ought to be thereabouts
  60. FORCE TRANQUILLE – 5th on the last run over 2000m in a Class 3 handicap on May 26th at Marseille Borely, 2nd before that in a claimer over 2600m on May 2nd. One to pay attention to
  61. ZLARA – 5th on the last run over 3100m at Saint-Cloud on May 13th in a Class 3 race. Down in class but has work to do
  62. UP AND UP – 5th on her last run over 2600m at Chatillon on her flat debut on May 19th. Three unplaced runs over hurdles last year. Pass over
  63. BULIE – 8th last time over 3000m at Vichy on May 25th in a conditions race. Makes no appeal despite being a winning hurdler
    Summary: In a race lacking in depth, it may pay to side with ORLHENA (3), who has placed form in a claimer in April and is the tentative choice ahead of PINGO (1), who scored over 2400m at Compiegne on her latest start 8 days ago. FORCE TRANQUILLE (6) has placed form in a claimer two runs back in early May and warrants respect. THEATRE LODGE (5) is also worth a mention.

  67. GONDOLO – He won on debut at Saint-Cloud last June over 1400m and was highly tried on the next two runs last year. He will be sharper for a run over 1950m at Chateaubriant on May 12th in a handicap. Can score down in class
  68. BERINGIA – 7th on the one run over 1600m in a claimer at Chatillon on May 19th. Needs vast progress to be involved
  69. WHIPPY – 5th in a claimer over 1600m at Chatillon on May 19th last time out. Looks exposed in claiming races
  70. IRELIA – Fair 3rd over 1600m in a claimer at Chatillon on May 19th when last seen. One to look at each way
  71. SYLVABELLE – Three placed runs recently, 2nd on the most recent over 1600m at Chatillon on May 19th in a claimer. Needs a few to misfire
    Summary: GONDOLO (4) showed promise when winning on debut at Saint-Cloud last June. He was then tested in a Listed race and a Class 1, but found the competition tough. His recent run in a handicap at Châteaubriant saw him finish ninth, but the drop in class today is worth noting. MAHJONG (1) is a danger after two third-place finishes, the latest at this track on May 8th. IRELIA (7) ran well last time when finishing third and is a solid contender. LAFORMUL SANSOUCI (2) completes the shortlist.

  76. LINARIA – Two unplaced efforts since a win over 2400m at Lyon La Soie on March 23rd in a conditions race. One to keep safe

  79. A BEAUREGARD – Three unplaced runs this year, the latest over 2400m at Lyon La Soie in a Class 3 handicap on March 30th. Unlikely to threaten
  80. CHIAREGGIO – 9th last time out at Salon Provence in a Class 4 race on May 15th, a better run before that in a Class 3 handicap at Parislongchamp on April 17th when 5th. Live chance
  81. BEST SHALAA – Two unplaced efforts since a 2nd over 2000m at Marseille Pont De Vivaux in a Class 4 race on March 22nd. Not the most reliable
    Summary: CHIAREGGIO (9) delivered a strong performance two runs back in a Class 3 handicap over 2000m at Parislongchamp in mid-April. A repeat of that effort could see him emerge victorious. WALDKAUZ (2) fell short of a hat-trick 12 days ago but had previously won a Class 4 handicap at Strasbourg on May 8th, making him a serious contender. LINARIA (5) scored on the PSF three runs ago and offers a solid each-way option. WINDBURN (4) hasn’t been seen since January, but he has the ability to feature.
