C1 – PRIX COMPAGNIE FIDUCIAIRE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Newcomers Race – Flat – EUR € 23,000
- TZAREKOV – Dam was unraced and this colt comes from a yard that are thriving at the moment and doing well with young horses. Include in the play
- SAIF AL LEITH – This son of Sands Of Mali could be absolutely anything on debut and is one to keep an eye on. Trainer is operating at a 8.8% win strike rate
- LE LEGIONNAIRE – Dam remained a maiden and this colt is unlikely to pose a threat on debut. Hard to recommend
- ROCKONADO – Dam was unraced and this colt doesn’t make much appeal in black and white. The market will be our best guide
- OTHON – Dam remained a maiden but this colt hails from a yard that can ready them up on debut. Bears close watching
- KODVEDEV – Dam won three times from 1700m – 2200m and this colt is likely looking for further. Others preferred
- CAPITOL HILL – Dam won twice over 1500m/1600m and this newcomer is likely to need the experience first up. Would be a surprise winner
- ALL IN PINK – Dam was a maiden but this son of Zelzal could be ready to make an impression on debut. Trainer has had success with two year old’s
- CIAO NENE – Dam won once over 1200m in Germany and this colt doesn’t jump off the page. One to pass by
Summary: In a race for unraced young two year old’s where there’s very little to work with, a chance is taken on SAIF AL LEITH (2) to strike on debut. He gets the services of Maxime Guyon which signals intent and could be one worth following. ALL IN PINK (8) will be suited by this trip on debut and should be in with a chance if not too green. TZAREKOV (1) represents a trainer that has proven more than capable with young horses and he is one to monitor. OTHON (5) is from an in form yard and can go well at the first time of asking.

- NEPETA – Dam performed well over ground and this newcomer doesn’t appear to be suited by this trip. Follow only if there’s market confidence
- PINK PARADISE – Dam was unraced but this filly makes plenty appeal on her bloodline. Trainer is operating at a 21% win strike rate
- LA MARITZA – Dam raced three times without any success and this filly appears to be the second string from the yard. Include in bets
- MENGANA – Dam failed to do much and this daughter Goken could need the experience. One to pass by
- NUENCE’K – Dam won five times from 1000m – 1400m and this filly could be one to keep on the safe side. Trainer has a 14% win strike rate
- DINER EN VILLE – This daughter of Study the man doesn’t make much appeal in black and white and could need the outing. Appears to be the second choice
- SHOWCASE – Dam won once over 1800m and this filly hails from a yard that have had success with two year old’s this year. Trainer is operating at a 15% win strike rate
- PREMIERA – Dam failed to rip up any trees but she gets the services of Mikael Barzalona which jumps off the page. Follow the market
- YAGGERA – This filly hails from a yard that aren’t known for debut winners and is likely to need a few educational runs. Easy to pass by
- BAYS OF NAPLES – Dam won once over 1900m and this young filly could be wanting further in time to come. Others make more appeal
- SCHIZZO – Dam went hurdling without any success and this filly could need time and more ground. Hard to fancy
- ZANINA – Dam won twice over 1200m and this filly hails from a yard that are more than capable of getting them ready to debut. Include in the play
Summary: PINK PARADISE (3) is a filly who could be worth following with keen interest should she deliver in this contest. She has a nice pedigree and could know the business on debut. ZANINA (13) ticks a few boxes on debut and with Maxime Guyon in the irons, that just indicates that she could be useful. SHOWCASE (8) is an interesting newcomer given that she could be looking for a touch further but could be forward enough to run well on debut. LA MARITZA (4) comes from a powerful yard and if there’s any market confidence behind her, she needs to be respected.

Summary: LA FILLE DE BERLIN (13) arrives in good form having just found one too good last time out and with a 2kg swing at the weights, it could see her reversing the form with the reopposing, CITE MALESHERBES (12) who notched up her maiden win last time out and with some confidence on her side, it would come as no surprise to see her win again. REINE DE BAVIERE (3) hasn’t been far off the action in recent outings and should run into the money. TOP GLORY (6) has been fairly consistent and has a chance of getting involved.

Summary: GREENWOOD (1) ran a cracker in his first outing for the year and will no doubt strip a much fitter horse for this assignment. He looks set for a big effort. SINNERMAN (6) ran with plenty of credit last time and a repeat performance should see him going well. EL TORERO (7) isn’t the most reliable sort around but has proven to be capable and can pop up. SILVER SILENT (10) has been such a consistent performer of late and looks set to perform to the best of her ability.

Summary: CHATEAU ESQUIULE (1) has been such a consistent sort having been touched off four times this year and is overdue that maiden win. This appears to be an ideal chance for him and he rates the one to beat. INDIAN STREAK (6) has produced two very pleasing efforts to date and looks to have strong claims here. ADA THORNE (7) found a few too good on debut but would have tightened up with that experience and could be suited by the drop in trip. BLACK ULTRA (5) has run some fair races to date and should be in the shake up.

Summary: SIYOUKING (5) produced a pleasing effort last time out and with a repeat performance, he should be in the firing line. DENISJONH (1) dropped in class at his most recent outing and it proved the trick as he returned to winning ways and with his confidence up, he has to be included. VA S’Y MIX (12) has been fairly consistent of late and has the right credentials to win in a race of this nature. HAUSSEZ (4) just found one too good when upped in trip and despite coming back in distance, he should be in with a shout.

Summary: GITANO (5) performed with plenty of promise last time out and appears to be taking the right steps forward. He looks to be in the right race to go close.

Summary: GREY TORNADO (3) ran at a stronger level last time out and steps into a race at a lower level which will be right up his alley. He continues to drop in the ratings and should go well. LORD OF WAR (4) has some solid form to his name and ran a cracker last time out which sets up him ideally here. KOVEL (1) has been a model of consistency in some competitive handicaps and should make his presence felt in a big way. EUGENE SMITH (5) has won twice from his last three attempts and it would come as no surprise to see him add another win to that ever growing tally. BELLE ANSE (6) returned to best form last time out and can have a say in the outcome.

- MID STAR – Fair 4th on his only run over 2300m at Durtal on June 9th in a conditions race. Among the leading chances
- MALT – Gelding by Prince Gibraltar, the dam never ran. Stable runners are well-prepared and are he is expected to play a prominent role. Watch the betting patterns
- MERISIER ROUGE – Gelding by Joshua Tree, the dam won 3 races. From a good stable that will have this horse nicely tuned. Bold show expected
- MOMENT OPPORTUN – Unraced gelding by Joshua Tree, the dam won 3 races over jumps. Likely to need this run for experience unless the betting market says otherwise
- ME VOILA LA MOME – Improved effort to be 2nd at Morlaix over 2600m in a conditions race on June 15th on her latest start. Ought to be in the shake-up
- MERCI GABY – Filly by It’s Gino, the dam was placed once in two starts. Should improve for this run and any market support should be informative
Summary: Trainer Daniela Mele saddles two well-bred geldings here, and based on jockey bookings, MERISIER ROUGE (3) looks to be the stable’s first string. He’s out of a mare who won three races and is likely to be well-prepared for his debut. MALT (2) appears to be the main danger, boasting an appealing profile—any market support would be significant. ME VOILA LA MOME (5) showed notable improvement when runner-up at Morlaix 11 days ago and heads the remainder on known form.

- MOOR MALPIC – Two unplaced runs this year, the latter in a Class 2 handicap at Angers on May 20th. Capable of a better run, dropping in class
- SPEEDY ANGEL – 6th on the one run this year over 2500m at Deauville on January 4th in a Class 4 race. Poor form last year, and seems to be out of sorts
- WHISPERING OCEAN – Out of form with two unplaced efforts this year, well beaten at Loudeac on April 27th in a Class 4 race over 2850m on the last run. Hardly inspiring
- CRYSTAL WINE – 5th last time, 3rd before that over 2000m in a claimer at Parislongchamp on April 24th in a Class 3 race. Can make the top-three
- SAMBA – Two unplaced efforts since a win over 2400m at Limoges on May 4th in a Class 4 race. Has work to do
Summary: BLACK HAWK (2) arrives in winning form following success in a claimer at Saint-Cloud in May and is taken to follow up in this slightly stronger contest. ALMACADO GREE (1) has been consistent, placing in all three of his starts this year, and commands respect. DSCHINGIS RANGER (3) has shown enough in recent fourth-placed finishes to suggest he’s a solid each-way contender. MOOR MALPIC (6), a Class 1 winner last year, takes a notable drop in grade and could be dangerous.

- KOULIKOFF – Unplaced last time, 3rd previously over 1800m at Evreux on April 15th in a Class 4 race. Hardly inspiring
Summary: CISKY (1) thrives at this track and arrives in top form after winning a Class 4 handicap over a slightly longer trip earlier this month. She looks capable of following up. PIANTARELLA (5) finished third behind the selection on June 4th and, now meeting her on better terms, could close the gap. COLD PLAY (4) hasn’t hit the same heights since scoring at Evreux in April, but is capable of bouncing back. RUE DES ORTEAUX (6) completes the shortlist and shouldn’t be underestimated.

- GALLIUS – Several unplaced runs recently, the latter over 1400m in a claimer at Compiegne on June 16th. Others preferred
- MONARCH HUNZA – Three unplaced runs since a 4th over 1300m at Deauville on January 3rd in a handicap. Can be competitive
- STAY AROUND – Fair 3rd on the last run over 1600m at Newcastle (UK) on March 20th in a Class 6 handicap. French bow and warrants respect
- MABREGA – 7th on her sole start over 1600m at Craon on June 11th in a maiden race. Looks vulnerable
- SPICHOPE – Won over 1300m in a claimer at this track on June 4th. Can give a good account of herself
- WESTMINSTER FOX – Credible 4th in a claimer over track and trip on June 4th behind SPICHOPE (6) on her last run. Each way angle

- WIXON’S MEMORY – Four unplaced runs this year, 7th in a handicap at Saint-Cloud on June 13th on her latest run. Look for an alternative
- ESTAFETTE – Three unplaced runs of late, 8th at Dax on June 9th in a claimer on her latest. Unlikely to threaten
- MAMINOA – Five unplaced runs this year, 5th over 1100m in a maiden at Dieppe on June 7th on the latest start. Hard to fancy
- MAGIC IS MAGIC – Two unplaced runs in October last year, 3rd before that in a maiden on September 15th at Le Lion D’Angers. Might need this run after an absence
Summary: TOOGOODTOBEROOD (1) takes a drop in grade following a respectable fifth in a Cholet handicap 24 days ago and should be competitive in this claimer. SPICHOPE (6) impressed when scoring over 1300m at this track in a similar contest and poses a definite threat. WESTMINSTER FOX (7) was fourth in that same event and holds each-way claims. BELVEDERE PALACE (9) ran a strong second in a maiden two starts ago and could sneak into the placings again.

- MOUNKA – Several unplaced runs, well beaten in a Class 4 race at Erbray on June 22nd on the last start. One to avoid
Summary: SUNBEAM (1) has been in good shape with three placed efforts, the latest over 3000m at Craon when third in a Class 4 handicap. He looks ready to win. ECLAIR DE VATI (5) has eased in the handicap and was a credible third at Chateaubriant in early May on his penultimate start. He is the most likely threat to the selection. GOT SHINE (7) is one for the each-way backers to look at. MAESTRO CHOP (2) tends to blow hot and cold but is worth a mention.

Summary: PRINCE SHALAA (5) arrives in good form, including a victory at Vitteaux in mid-May over 2600m, and looks poised to strike again. He’s narrowly preferred over the consistent HAMILTON DESJY (9), who has hit the frame in all four starts this year and is knocking on the door for a win. ARMORIGENE (10) drops back to a more suitable trip and appeals as an each-way contender. MY DARLING (11) is another with solid place claims and shouldn’t be left out of the multiples.

Summary: JANISA BERE (3) is in excellent form, having won both starts this year—the latest in a Class 4 handicap over this track on June 4th. She looks well placed to complete the hat-trick. ZELINA (4) has slipped to a workable mark and ran respectably when sixth here 22 days ago; she’s capable of giving the selection a real challenge. TORTOLA (6) shaped well when fourth in a Class 3 at Saint-Cloud two starts back and makes appeal each-way. PREMIERE ETOILE (10) also warrants a mention.

Summary: UM ELNADIM (11) could be the answer to this open handicap. She arrives after two solid efforts, a win two runs back at Chateaubriant in May and a pleasing fourth at Parislongchamp earlier this month on the latest. FAR L’AMORE (1) will be full of confidence after success at this track in a conditions race on June 4th and rates as the main danger. KING MOTIF (4) won over track and trip three runs back, and if replicating that effort, he can not be ruled out. MISSRIYA (5) heads the rest.

- HORACE DU VIVIER – In the frame in 3 of last 4, latterly 2nd of 13 in a 2850m Vincennes amateurs Class F 9 days ago, and from the front row should take all the beating
- GODZILLA VICI – last of 12 finishers in a 2825m Durtal Class F last Sunday. Very disappointing all season and can be confidently ruled out
- HACKER D’ERI – Unraced since running 2nd of 10 over 2350m in Avenches 2 months ago. Comes here fresh, starts in front, and is back at Enghien with a good hand to play
- GODSEND – Pleasant 6th of 16 in a 2450m Agon amateurs Class H last weekend. Has solid amateur references but still needs to raise his game
- IPSOS DANOVER – Yet to get into his stride this term, latterly sanctioned in a 2900m Amiens Class F on 7 June. Benefits from an excellent entry on the front line though and should not be overlooked
- EUDES DE L’AUNAY – Returns to the amateur division after finishing 8th of 14 in a 2450m Caen Class E 10 days ago and others easier to back
- GOHAKI – Made the frame in 2 of last 3, most recently 2nd of 10 in a 2850m Vincennes amateurs Class F on 3 June. Has never failed to deliver here and must be considered a contender
- HEAGLE ONE – Sanctioned in a 2750m Class F at La Capelle in early-May and under these conditions has no realistic chance
- HILDA DU THYRAL – Back to a category she adores after coming 8th of 12 in a 2950m Class E at Saint-Malo earlier this month. Won under these conditions last time here and has a reasonable chance of repeating
- FIGARO GEMA – Disappointing so far this term, most recently sanctioned in a 3450m Agon Class E last Sunday, but won this race last year. Reconfigured for the occasion and must be respected
Summary: An excellent servant in the amateur division, and starting on the front row, HORACE DU VIVIER (1) is less fond of Enghien than he is of Vincennes, but in current form is very hard to ignore. 25m worse off, HILDA DU THYRAL (9) was oddly out of sorts at Saint-Malo but has otherwise been firing on all cylinders and boasts an impeccable amateur record. GOHAKI (7) appreciates Enghien, thrives at this level, and is clearly close to his race. Seldom disappointing in this class, HACKER D’ERI (3) is barefoot for his return to France and must be taken seriously.

- MAFIA DU BAS BOSQ – 4th of 6 finishers in a 2550m Reims Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Has no left-handed references and cannot be considered a priority
- MARIA DE VALNY – Encouraged twice in the provinces before running 5th of 10 to MYRTILLE MARBOULA (13) in a 2100m Vincennes claimer on 10 June. Would have finished closer had she stayed in stride and must not be ignored
- MASSILIO BLOND – Sprang something of a surprise when 2nd of 14 to MILADY MADRIK (3) in a 2700m Graignes claimer 12 days ago although a repeat seems most improbable

- MACLANDER – Surprisingly below-par 8th of 10 to MYRTILLE MARBOULA (13) in a 2100m Vincennes claimer on 10 June. Placed over course and distance in April though and can begin to put things right
- MOTTEAUX DAIRPET – Pleasant 4th of 10 in 10 June race of reference. Unlikely to open 2025 account but can still make first 5

Summary: Comfortable winner of a Vincennes claimer earlier in the month, making it 2 for 3 at this level, MYRTILLE MARBOULA (13) incurs the penalty but is in sufficiently good form to double her money. Third to her that day, and placed in his last 2 claimers, MEA CULPA (12) will be expected to apply the pressure, as will the hat-trick-seeking MILADY MADRIK (3) who breaks in front. In cracking form over recent months, MYSTERE DE PLAY (9) ran 3rd to her last time and is easy to like for a place on the podium.

- MY DARLING DU RIS – Good 2nd at Nantes before losing her action in a 2850m Vincennes Class D last week, but will not be far off the mark if Guillaume Martin keeps her focused
- MADONE DES RACQUES – Failed to confirm Amiens victory when 4th of 11 in a 2200m Caen Class D late last month. Has no left-handed credentials but has been handed a fine draw and should not be written off
- MAVISTA – 4th of 9 on re-entry in a 2725m Lisieux Class C 2.5 weeks ago. Will have progressed for the race and from the 4-spot could well lose her maiden tag
- MISSLADY DU VICLAU – Unraced since getting off the mark in a 2700m Graignes Class E on 9 June. Steps up in category but is ideally-positioned to win a race of this nature
- MISS JENILOU – 7th of 15 behind MARQUISE GRIFF (7) in a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 10 June. Placed here last summer but still appears to have too much to do
- MARQUISE GRIFF – 2nd at Graignes before running 5th of 15 in a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 10 June. Should find Enghien to her liking and even though starting wide can still play an active role
- MONIA VERDERIE – Made up for Chartres effort when 2nd of 10 in a 2400m Class E at Nort-sur-Erdre 2.5 weeks ago. Starts wide on front line and is not about to paint the town red but can still pick up some prizemoney
- MERIDA DU GRANIT – 6th of 15, a place behind MARQUISE GRIFF (7), in a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 10 June. Has pulled a tough number but with Alexandre Abrivard reining should not disappoint
- MAGIE D’ORLY – 3rd of 12 in a 2750m Toulouse Class D 3 weeks ago. Imposed last time racing left-handed but looks no more than a minor place prospect this time around
- MARQUISE DARLING – Ran 2nd at Rambouillet before coming 3rd of 9 in a 2300m Chartres Class E on 1 June. Not a contender for the silverware but can nonetheless challenge for a place in the frame
- MOUSKIE DE GUEZ – Complicated filly making first start since being sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class D last November and cannot be considered a concern
- MADE OF DREAMS – Sanctioned in a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 10 June. Has yet to show any particular bent for the game and can be ruled out
Summary: A number in contention here but it is hard to ignore the impact MAVISTA (4) made on her comeback earlier this month, and can finally get off the mark if Gabi Gelormini keeps her focused. He will still want to be wary of the similarly well-placed MISSLADY DU VICLAU (5) who has done nothing but improve since her March debut, and MARQUISE GRIFF (7) who raced better across town last time than the result would suggest. MARQUISE DARLING (11) is an improving filly and although forced to start on the back line her recent Chartres performance bodes well for her chances.

- LADY DUCALE – 8th of 11 in a 2150m Class E here on 14 June. Has struggled to replicate last season’s form and chances limited
- LA TERRE DU BANNEY – Put 3 straight sanctions behind her to run 2nd of 11 in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle 11 days ago. Should take well to the new profile and looks a major player
- LA MISS ROYALE – 3rd of 9 in a 2850m Laval Class E 2 weeks ago. Placed on lone start here and with stride in check can open her 2025 account
- LILYROSE WIND – Goes barefoot for first time after running 10th of 11 behind LADY DUCALE (10) in a 2150m Class E here on 14 June. Has yet to deliver here but can play a more active role this time
- LOLITA DE LA BUTTE – 6th of 12 in a 2150m Vichy Class E a fortnight back. Unlikely to spring any surprises but reverts to a previous formula and with Pierre-Yves Verva reining will be afforded a competitive drive
Summary: Reassuring at Laval recently, on just her second start since December, LA MISS ROYALE (12) is proven in decent company, enjoys a superb entry, and should be able to wrap this up. Similarly complicated but no less capable, LA TERRE DU BANNEY (11) put in a solid performance mid-month and on good behaviour will be expected to contest the finish. Unbeaten in 2 starts since the break, LOLA DE VILLARD (9) takes on a better bunch this time but is still very easy to like. LOU DU DONJON (1) was competitive for the win at La Capelle before blundering and Alexis Collette will be keen to set the record straight.

- HAROLD BERGIL – Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2925m Cagnes Class D last February. Seldom disappoints when barefoot, starts in front, and can play an active role on Enghien bow
- IRON MIJACK – Failed to confirm Meslay victory when last but one in a 2450m Caen Class E 10 days ago. Has a lotting his way here however and is thoroughly capable of imposing
- GREAT D’ARRY – Returns to racing barefoot after finishing last of 10 in a 2800m Chartres Class E last week. Unseen here since 2020 but at this level can play a small role
- GAMIN NORMAND – Sanctioned early in a 2700m Vincennes Class D a week ago. Runs barefoot this time but still not easy to recommend
- FERIA DU METZ – Back under harness after finishing 8th of 13 finishers in a 2450m Caen monte Class D 10 days ago. 4 pads fitted this time but is still a rank outsider
- FEUX VERTS – Showed marked improvement when 6th of 16 in a 2525m Class E at Les Andelys mid-month. Won under these conditions last time here and at this level will be no pushover
- GALLAGHER WIND – Sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class D 2 weeks ago. Has never failed to fire at Enghien though and can win this if Pierre-Yves Verva keeps him focused
- FIDELE MADRIK – Out of the picture in last 4, latterly 9th of 15 in a 2400m Montauban Class D 2.5 weeks ago, and can be confidently passed over
- EDY DU POMMEREUX – Returns to France after finishing last but one over 3450m in Waregem early this month. Faces a less arduous task this time and with Alexandre Abrivard reining will be afforded every chance
Summary: Winner at Vincennes on his only start at this level, GALLAGHER WIND (16) goes barefoot for the first time since and with application can impose. He will still feel the heat from FEUX VERTS (15) who is shod as he was when winning a Class D here last summer, and front-row starter and 2-time Enghien winner HOPE (9) who was victorious in the provinces just last week. Terrifically entered on the front line, at ease in the claiming division, and reconfigured for the occasion, IRON MIJACK (11) must be considered a major player.

C6 – PRIX DE LA PLACE CHOPIN – 2875m (a2m) – Class D Amateur Riders Race – Mounted – EUR € 54,000 - FASCINANT – Makes first start since finishing last but one in a 2750m harness Class F at La Capelle on 4 May. Encouraged last time here but others still preferred
- HEVA BLONDE – Ran 3rd at Pontchateau before thrashing the opposition in a 2700m Vincennes Class E last week. Takes on a better lot this time but will not be far off the mark if Tom Debost keeps her trotting
- HEADLINE FAC – Has not put a foot out of line since February, most recently 2nd of 8 finishers in a Class D over course and distance on 24 May, and will be competitive for the win
- G.K.JUSTUS – Back in the code after finishing last of 12 in a 2700m Vincennes harness Class D on 23 May and has too much to find
- HIVER D’AUTHISE – Back in his code of preference after running 12th of 14 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Sports modified shoeing but still no more than a minor place chance
- MADE OF STARS – Wonderfully consistent sort that ran 4th of 13 finishers on comeback in a 2450m Caen Class D on 16 June. Will have progressed for the run and looks the one to beat
- HUMOUR FESTIF – 3rd of 8 finishers, a place behind HEADLINE FAC (3), in a Class D over course and distance on 24 May. Is patently close to his race, adores Enghien, and with Oscar Placier in the saddle will be no easy touch
- KATE BALDWIN – Back in France after coming 4th of 9 in a harness conditioner over a mile at Berlin-Mariendorf on 1 June. Has nothing to prove at this level and returning to a track she likes will only enhance her already good prospects
- HELIUM DE L’ITON – Last of 13 behind MADE OF STARS (6) in a 2450m Caen Class D on 16 June and must reaffirm
Summary: Highly-impressive since returning to the discipline last summer, MADE OF STARS (6) put in an excellent performance in his Caen re-entry 10 days ago and is in with a realistic chance of making his Enghien debut a successful one. Mehdi Lelievre will nevertheless be mindful of the in-form HEADLINE FAC (3) who ran a good 2nd under these conditions a month ago, and HUMOUR FESTIF (7) who has excelled under the saddle this term. KATE BALDWIN (8) has never let the side down under the saddle here and will have a claim on a place in the frame.

- KRONOS D’ERPION – Reassuring 4th of 15 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E on 2 May. Comes here fresh, placed last time at the venue, but still not a priority
- KNOW EVER – Secured 2 on the trot before faulting in a 2100m Vincennes Class E mid-May. Won his only start with Pierre-Yves Verva reining and breaking from the 3-spot will only work in his favour. Chance
- KAP NORMAND – Courageous 6th of 15 behind KISS COOL MIJACK (5), in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 13 June. Will not be sent out at 87/1 this time but will not be as competitive either
- KISS COOL MIJACK – Made up for lacklustre Graignes run when 2nd of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 13 June. Well-positioned behind the car and can impose this time
- KAZAAL – Fine servant moving up the category-ladder after comfortably winning a 2700m Graignes Class E on 23 May. Breaks on the front line and although untried here still looks a player
- KILLER ANGOT – Ran 2nd at Graignes before finishing 7th of 11 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 3 weeks ago, and others preferred
- KATSUKI – Produced a tenacious performance to win a 2350m Angers Class E on 10 June. Starts wide in front but can play an important role if Gabi Gelormini keeps him trotting
- KING HEUVELLAND – Tricky type returning to France after winning over 2600m at Victoria Park mid-month. Takes on a better lot this time and the draw will do him no favours
- KING CASH CEKE – Last of 9, on return to competition, in a 2700m Vincennes Class E early last month. Has never delivered here though and is not about to start now
Summary: He may not be the most consistent of horses but KISS COOL MIJACK (5) has put in some very good performances this season and his recent Vincennes effort augurs well for his prospects of winning this. He will still be pitted against the similarly well-placed KNOW EVER (3) who failed to pull off the hat-trick when sanctioned early across town 10 days ago, and the progressive KAZAAL (6) who makes his metropolitan debut after having won 4 of 5 this season. KATSUKI (8) has been allocated the 8-spot but a repeat of his Angers run would see him finish close once more.

- JACADY SLY – Last of 6 finishers behind JOYAU DE MORTREE (3) in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class G 3 weeks ago and can be confidently passed over
- JOYAU DE MORTREE – Has enjoyed a decent run of form this season, most recently 3rd of 6 finishers in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class G 3 weeks ago. In better company but is still worth monitoring
- JOKER DU MIDI – 11th of 14 when preparing for this in a 3000m Marseille-Borely harness Class F conditioner last week. Is plainly in shape and Oscar Placier will be justifiably confident of a big run
- INDIGO GEDE – Has been off the boil all year, latterly sanctioned in a 2625m Saint-Pierre-la-Cour last Saturday, and is not about to shake things up
- JESOLO – Unable to confirm Cherbourg performance when sanctioned in a 2650m Alencon Class G on 11 May. Form is not in question though and with application can set the record straight
- ISIS DU LEARD – Failed to confirm Chartres effort when unusually 7th of 12 to JUBLA VIKING (9) in a 2450m Caen Class E a fortnight ago. Pads on all 4 again and will be expected to make amends
- INDULGENTE – Takes to monte code for first time after finishing last of 11 in a 2450m Caen harness Class F a week ago. Hind shoes off for first time, with Pierre-Yves Verva in the irons, and could pleasantly surprise
- JUBLA VIKING – Sanctioned when going well at Mauquenchy but redeemed herself when comfortably winning a 2450m Caen Class E on 11 June, and can double up if Alexis Collette keeps her focused
Summary: Nicely-entered at the limit of earnings, JUBLA VIKING (9) put on quite the show at Caen earlier in the month and, barefoot for her Enghien debut, looks thoroughly capable of confirming. Alexis Collette will still be keeping an eye on the in-form JESOLO (6) who should not be condemned for his recent sanction, and JOKER DU MIDI (4) who returns to Paris shod to preference. Useful over these shorter trips, ISIS DU LEARD (7) is worth retaining.

JAG MAHCATH (9) is usually competitive in races like this and could be a significant danger. JEUNE AMI (8) has struggled recently, but those runs can be ignored as he returns to a mounted race and could contest the finish. JAZZY THOURJAN (5) is another who can make the frame.
