- HURRICANE CARTER – Victorious in Class D at Vincennes over 2850m on 6 June. Keeps that shoe combination and can double up this shorter distance
- HEMMA DE BRIKVIL – Disqualified in class C at this trackover 2700m on 12 April. Hard o trust but is capable of playing a minor role when in the right mood
- HAIDA SAUTONNE – Finished 9th in class C at Vincennes over 2700m on 23 May. Victorious in March and is well positioned at the start. Go close

- FERVENTE – Unreliable and finished 8th in class D at this course over 2850m on 30 May. Needs to find a few lengths to win
Summary: HURRICANE CARTER (2) is at the top of his game and, given the manner of his last-start victory here over further in this shoeing configuration, looks good value to follow up in the opening event over this shorter trip. HAIDA SAUTONNE (4) represents a stable in good form and she has the means to bounce back from an underwhelming last start to trouble the selection. HOCHE (7) fits a similar profile but arrives in good order after a recent 3rd at this venue. HOLD UP RANAIS (11), GALION (10) and HOVE PONT VAUTIER (8) are others capable of getting a look in.

- HORCHESTRO – Victorious in Class B at Vincennes over 2850m on 7 June. Remains barefoot and can double the lead. Winning chance
Summary: HORCHESTRO (11) won with authority at this venue when last seen a fortnight ago and a repeat of that performance should suffice here. He’s taken to get the better of improving rivals EROS ZOLA (4), who is ideally positioned at the start, and HOLD UP DU SAPTEL (2) whose form is good enough to suggest he’ll also acquit himself competitively. Fast-finisher HANNIBAL TUILERIE (10), a winner last time out, and versatile JE REVE DU BOIS (3) appeal most of the remainder.

- METEORE DE SIMM – Did not show his best when 8th in a Group 2 harness at this course over 2175m on 27 May. Unbeaten in four starts under the saddle and he can bounce back to score
- MISTY GREEN – Not disgraced when 6th in a Group 3 harness at this track over 2175m on 27 May. Better in mounted races and should contest the finish
Summary: METEORE DE SIMM (11), unplaced in a Group II harness race last month, is unbeaten in 4 starts under the saddle so hard to oppose on his return to the mounted category. MHUM FLYNG (10) bounced right back to his best to win a Group II prize at Caen last time out and needs only to repeat that performance to threaten the favourite. Versatile hard-knocker MISTY GREEN (12) is more effective in this specialty, so she isn’t taken lightly either. MATIGNON (6), not to be hastily condemned for his latest faux pas, and MONTANA WOOD (5) complete the shortlist.

- JOLIE SURPRISE –
Summary: Highly regarded JET EXPRESS (5) hasn’t reached the heights Philippe Daugeard thought he would and his track record attests to that. However, he often holds his own in stronger races against quality opposition, as he did last time when an unlucky 4th, and it could pay to take a chance on him fulfilling his potential, especially with Matthieu Abrivard in the sulky. Classy KILLIAM FROMENTRO (10), a last-start Class A winner, KARAMBAR (2), who races barefoot here unlike last time, and reinvigorated JALENDRA DE MALAC (8), despite this rise in class, will keep the selection up to his task. JOCONDE SIBEY (11) and KOBAYASHI (7) are best of the rest.

- IBIKI DE HOUELLE – In good form and was runner-up in Class A at Vichy over 3525m on 2 June. Can also be competitive this shorter distance
Summary: GO ON BOY (7), winner of the Elitloppet Final, returns to French soil at the top of his game and will be an overwhelming favorite. IGUSKI SAUTONNE (4), a consistent performer who was 2nd in a Group II event at this venue earlier in the month, and HUSSARD DU LANDRET (2), whose the form and experience will stand him in good stead, appear the only likely dangers in a small but quality lineup. IBIKI DE HOUELLE (8) heads the remainder.

- LITTLE ORELIE – Disappointing last run when 8th in a Group 2 at this course over 2700m on 30 May. Capable of better and has a place chance
Summary: LASKA DU LEVANT (2) went close to causing a major upset in the Prix Lavater recently and, while she’ll need to confirm that improvement, a repeat of that performance should suffice. She gets the nod ahead of fast-finisher LISBON DRY (13), L’ECRIN D’OR (8) racing without her ‘shoes’ this time, and LEXIE DE BANVILLE (16) who is unshod on all four feet for the first time. LE BILLET VERT (10) and LIONHEART (12) aren’t incapable of having a say either.

Summary: Several with chances in a competitive event, though none appeal more than the highest stakes earner in the lineup MAITRE JACQUES (15), who will benefit from stretching out to this longer distance. His last-start conqueror and Group II scorer MILLE ETOILES (14) is also an obvious candidate for victory, along with fast-finisher MAKE A DREAM (8) who was an eye-catching 4th in the reference race and will have more to offer over this extended trip. MYSTIC SONATO (1) completes the shortlist.

Last-start scorer KATINKA AIMEF (10), winner of the Group II Prix Victor Cavey, has is another obvious candidate for victory, as is KID BELLAY (11) who was 2nd in the aforementioned reference race. KEYNOTE (8) caught the eye on that occasion and also warrants the utmost respect. KALIF LANDIA (12) and KELLY DE BANVILLE (14) complete the shortlist.

Summary: LIZA JOSSELYN (9) and LONDON (6) renew rivalry and are likely to dominate the outcome. Both have genuine winning credentials and should fight out the finish if avoiding disqualification. LIGHT MY FIRE (4), second in the Prix de Sélection, and LEARN TO FLY (5), whose the form and experience will stand her in good stead, shouldn’t be underestimated.

- LE LISON – Placed on the last two runs, 2nd on the most recent over 3800m at Lyon Parilly on May 29th. Chase debut and warrants respect
- JUST FORTY – Fair 4th on his one try over fences at Le Lion D’Angers in a handicap chase over 3900m on May 29th behind KISS GAME (2). Has work to do to reverse the form
- MOTY MARC – Unplaced on his last two runs, 4th before that over 3600m in a Grade 3 hurdle at Auteuil on March 23rd. Second try over fences and can get things right this time
Summary: MOTY MARC (6) can make amends for his chase debut at Clairefontaine 5 days ago, when he fell in the early stages of that race. He was a classy hurdler and should have too much in his locker if non the worse and a clear round of jumping. KISS GAME (2) is a threat and has taken well to fences with two wins recently. She is progressing. LE LISON (4) has decent form over hurdles and is worth considering on chase debut.

Summary: KANGO (3) has been in nice shape this season with three good performances recently.

Summary: ILOA CONTI (1) made a bad mistake on his last start, but overcame that error and did well to get up and win narrowly at this track and trip late last month. He can make it a hat-trick of wins this year. JALOGNY (3) is also seeking a hat-trick and looks like the main threat after a win over 5200m in a Class 4 cross-country at Strasbourg in early May. GENTLEMAN DE REVE (5) was second behind ILOA CONTI (1) last time and is also one to keep onside.

C4 – GRANDE COURSE DE HAIES DE LYON – 4000m (a2m1/2) – TURF – Handicap – Hurdles – EUR € 51,000 - TOP TEAM GUN – Two nice win over hurdles this year, the latter over 3800m in a handicap hurdle at Dax on June 1st. Progressive and can not be ignored
- ZADALL – Unplaced on the last run over 3900m at La Teste in a Class 3 hurdle on May 16th. Unlikely to threaten
- BEAUBOURG – Unplaced last time in a Listed hurdle on May 27th, a win before that over 3600m in a Class 3 hurdle at La Teste on April 24th. Live chance

- GOLDEN PARK – 6th on the last run over 4200m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a handicap chase on December 30th. Back over hurdles, and others seem better equipped
- KRISTAL DU SEUIL – 3rd on the one run this year over 3500m in a Class 2 chase at Auteuil on May 27th. Outside place chance back over hurdles
- ESCORT’JET – Unplaced last time, she won before that over 3800m at Nimes on May 11th in a Class 4 handicap chase. Likes hurdles and won at Strasbourg in April over them
- SHAZAM – Four unplaced efforts of late, the latter over 3500m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on December 16th in a handicap hurdle. Needs to bounce back to form and fitness is a concern
Summary: BEAUBOURG (3) drops in class after finding Listed company too tough last time out, but he was a winner at La Teste on his previous start and could bounce back to winning ways if reproducing that effort. His main danger appears to be ESCORT’JET (7), who landed back-to-back wins earlier in the spring—over hurdles at Strasbourg and fences at Nîmes. TOP TEAM GUN (1) arrives in winning form after scoring twice on the bounce, and while this represents a tougher test, he holds each-way claims. GROOM BOY (4) leads the remainder.

- NABUCCO OF MOON – Four unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1350m in a claimer at this track on June 14th. Looks out of his depth
- JIVEDA – Two unplaced runs, the latter over 1200m at Lyon Parilly on May 17th in a Class 3 race. Has work to do
- FALOU CHOPE – Unraced filly by Gutaifan, the dam never raced. Stable runners improve for a run, and any market support will be informative
- RAGE CHOPE – Filly by Captain Chop, the dam won 4 races over middle distances. Likely to need this run and a stronger test of stamina in time
Summary: MEFIE TOI (1) won nicely by two lengths over track and trip in a Class 3 race 22 days ago. He is improving with racing and has not reached his ceiling. GOUTTES DE DIEU (2) looks like the main danger after scoring at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 3 race on May 24th. ANESIDORA (3) found Listed class too strong at Vichy last time, but scored on debut in April and warrants respect. OSHIA (4) has won twice at Marseille Borely in May and is worth considering each-way.

- PICOBELLA ROSA – Won on debut over 2400m at this track on April 16th in a maiden race. Looks like a nice prospect and worth following
Summary: MASTER CATH (1) has been in outstanding form this year, winning three of his four starts.

He is well handicapped and can get back in the groove. IGNOL (5) has a couple of unplaced efforts since a good third in a Class 2 handicap at Parislongchamp late in April and can make life difficult for the selection.
