R1 ENGHIEN [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DU PARC MONTSOURIS – 2875m (a2m) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 35,000

  1. LADY DE BEYLEV – Got back in the winners’ circle when securing a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 16 June but in this company will have too much to do
  2. LADY DUCALE – 7th of 11 behind LUTTE DE COSSE (8) in a Class E over course and distance 9 days ago. Disappointing in all 4 starts this year and has no realistic chance
  3. LAURENCE MADRIK – Failed to confirm Les Sables-d’Olonne victory when 2nd of 9 in a 2850m Laval Class E on 12 June. Unlikely to get her nose in front but still has every chance of finishing in the mix
  4. LIPA STAR – Comfortable winner of a 2625m Cherbourg Class F mid-June. Sports same configuration but takes on a better bunch and looks more a minor place chance this time
  5. LAURENE DE BAILLY – A write-off all year, latterly sanctioned in a 2800m Vichy Class D on Tuesday and backs up with nothing to contribute
  6. L’ETOILE DE ROCHE – 2nd of 8 finishers on re-entry in a 2800m Chartres Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Faces a stiffer test this time however and others easier to back
  7. LYRA DU METZ – 3rd of 11 finishers, a place behind LADY STARLIGHT (9), in a 2150m Class E here on 14 June, and will not be available at 67/1 on this occasion
  8. LUTTE DE COSSE – Made up for Laval blip when 2nd of 11 in a Class E over course and distance 9 days ago. Hind shoes off this time and in current form will be expected to contest the finish once more
  9. LADY STARLIGHT – 2nd of 11 finishers in a 2150m Class E here on 14 June, on first start since the break. Excels when barefoot and should logically take all the beating
  10. LUCIA DE BUSSET – Fine filly with an enviable strike-rate, latterly 2nd of 7 in a 2750m Class D at La Capelle on 20 June. Reunited with David Thomain who won with her at Amiens and is easy to like for a place in the frame
  11. LADRA DI MALAVITA – 9th of 10 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class D on 23 June. Has been out of sorts all season and can be passed over
  12. LADY DALM – Drops in category after running 6th of 7 finishers in a 2100m Vincennes Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Shod to preference this time and makes her Enghien debut with a decent hand to play
    Summary: Impressive on her return to competition here mid-June, LADY STARLIGHT (9) will have progressed for the race and should be able to wrap this up. She will still face resistance from LUTTE DE COSSE (8) who has finished runner-up in 3 of her last 4 outings, and LUCIA DE BUSSET (10) who came close to setting the record straight at La Capelle a fortnight ago. Surprise 3rd behind Franck Nivard’s filly here last time, LYRA DU METZ (7) must be taken more seriously.
    SELECTIONS
    LADY STARLIGHT (9) – LUTTE DE COSSE (8) – LUCIA DE BUSSET (10) – LYRA DU METZ (7)
    C2 – PRIX D’ARMENTIERES – 2875m (a2m) – Class C Race – Mounted – EUR € 46,000
  13. LUCIA PERRINE – Quickly sanctioned in 2850m Gr.1 Prix du Président at Vincennes on 22 June. Back at a more reasonable level and can get a look in if she deigns to keep her stride in check
  14. LEMPICKA SEPT – Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2175m Vincennes Class B late-December and is going to need the race
  15. LUTECIA ELLIS – Made up for Caen blip when 3rd of 10 finishers, a place behind LOLO DU VELO (7), in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 20 May. Has ground to make up can still challenge for the win
  16. LAFOLLY DELO – 7th of 12 finishers when preparing for this in a 2700m Vincennes harness Class C a fortnight back but still looks out of her depth
  17. LE JIBAY – Back under the saddle after finishing 11th of 14 in a 2700m Vincennes harness Class B 2 months ago. Barefoot for the occasion but still not a concern
  18. LUCIFER D’ORPHEE – Last all chance at the start, coming 7th of 10 finishers behind LAFOLLY DELO (4) in a 2175m Vincennes Class D on 27 May, but can make amends if Guillaume Martin gets him off on the right foot
  19. LOLO DU VELO – Good class of trotter that ran 2nd of 10 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 20 May. Has freshness on his side, and looks thoroughly capable of lifting this
  20. LAKANA DE FELLIERE – Drops back in class after running 5th of 13 finishers in 2850m Gr.1 Prix du Président at Vincennes on 22 June. Is new to the venue but with form maintained will be no easy touch
  21. LOVELY CHENEVIERE – Kicked the year off well but disappointing since, latterly last but one behind LAKANA DE FELLIERE (8) in 2850m Gr.1 Prix du Président at Vincennes on 22 June, and can expect to have few takers
  22. LORD CATH – Serious type that finished last of 12, on re-entry, in a 2750m Craon harness Class B on 23 June. Will have progressed for the race and with front pads fitted is unlikely to disappoint
  23. LUIGI D’ISIGNY – Placed twice before being sanctioned when full of running in a 2175m Vincennes Class D in late-May, but can figure prominently if Eric Raffin keeps him focused
    Summary: Barring a brace of sanctions, LOLO DU VELO (7) has been exceptional under the saddle. Unbeaten in both Enghien starts, he races first-time barefoot and looks set to take all the beating. Leading the opposition, LUTECIA ELLIS (3) finished a place behind her across town last time out and will be no pushover, and neither should the talented but tricky LUIGI D’ISIGNY (11) provided he deigns to stay in stride. LAKANA DE FELLIERE (8) held her own in the Gr.1 Prix du Président a fortnight ago and makes her Enghien debut with a good hand to play.
    SELECTIONS
    LOLO DU VELO (7) – LUTECIA ELLIS (3) – LUIGI D’ISIGNY (11) – LAKANA DE FELLIERE (8)
    C3 – PRIX DE L’ECOLE MILITAIRE – 2150m (a1m1/4) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 40,000
  24. LUCIANO VREDEBEST – Has hardly put a foot wrong all year, lastly just missing out in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 30 May. Should have no issues with the new profile and will be expected to contest the finish
  25. LOMBARDO DE LOU – 3rd of 10 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D a month ago. Won his only start under these conditions, is plainly close to his race, and can impose
  26. LIFOU IRIS’EYES – Made it 2 in a row when comfortable winner of a 2700m Class D at Le Croise-Laroche on 21 May. Trainer could not have wished for a better entry and Pierre-Yves Verva will be keen to oblige
  27. LATINO AU CROSNIER – Has been reconfigured since finishing 6th of 9 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 13 June and is not about to paint the town red
  28. LICAR SOMOLLI – Makes first appearance since securing a Class E over course and distance in late-May. Is never far from faulting but has hind shoes off this time, and with David Thomain in the bike is unlikely to disappoint
  29. LOVI CADENCE – 5th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class D a fortnight ago and can be confidently left alone
  30. LUDIVER DES VAUX – Picked up on 13 June where he left off last January, faulting in a 2700m Vincennes Class D, and others easier to trust
  31. LAZAN DE PASSIEU – Made up for Vincennes clinker when 4th of 15 in a 3000m Nantes Class D on 2 June. Has been handed a wide draw though and is unlikely to create an upset
  32. LE MIRACLE – Makes first foray into the capital after winning 2 straight in the provinces, latterly a 2725m Lisieux Class D with ease early last month. Handed a tough draw but in current condition is easy to like
  33. LOTUS DE BEYLEV – Showed improvement when 4th of 11, a place behind LOOK D’HERMES (12), in a 2100m Vincennes Class D on 24 June.
  34. LUCKY JOSSELYN – Out of the picture in both starts since the break, latterly last of 10 in a 2450m Caen Class D 12 days ago, and can be passed over
  35. LOOK D’HERMES – Set his personal best time when 3rd of 11 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D 11 days ago. Forced to start on back row but will still generate interest
  36. LEXINGTON DU BOURG – Last but one on re-entry in a 2575m Agen Class D a fortnight back. Has never disappointed when barefoot and even though in superior company, must nevertheless be respected
  37. LOOK DE VALAILLES – Last of 11 behind LOOK D’HERMES (12) in a 2100m Vincennes Class D 11 days ago and has no possible chance
    Summary: LUCIANO VREDEBEST (1) has taken his game to another level since starting to race barefoot and a repeat of his latest effort would see him open his metropolitan account. Yoann Lebourgeois will still want to be wary of the complicated but capable LOMBARDO DE LOU (2) who has been reconfigured for the occasion. LIFOU IRIS’EYES (3) makes his Paris debut on a hat-trick and Pierre-Yves Verva can be confident of a big run. Sporting a fresh formula after having imposed under these conditions last time out, LICAR SOMOLLI (5) must be considered a player.
    SELECTIONS
    LUCIANO VREDEBEST (1) – LOMBARDO DE LOU (2) – LIFOU IRIS’EYES (3) – LICAR SOMOLLI (5)
    C4 – PRIX DE LA MANCHE – 2875m (a2m) – Gr3 Race – Harness – EUR € 90,000
  38. KOOL DES CHAMPS – Missed out by the smallest of margins in a 2625m Agen Class B on 31 May. Races shod this time though and will have other ambitions
  39. DANGER BI – 7th of 11 to HORCHESTRO (13) in a 2850m Vincennes Class A on 22 June. Has shown more racing clockwise recently but is no slouch and should not be too far from the action
  40. KYRIELLE – Pleasantly surprising 3rd of 13 in 2175m Gr.2 Prix Jean le Gonidec at Vincennes on 7 June. Is plainly capable but in this company will have her work cut out
  41. KING OPERA – 4th of 13, a place behind KYRIELLE (3), in 2175m Gr.2 Prix Jean le Gonidec at Vincennes on 7 June. Shoes fitted again but a repeat seems unlikely
  42. HORATIUS D’ELA – Made up for Le Croise-Laroche blip when 3rd of 16 in a 2950m Toulouse Gr.3 2.5 weeks ago. Is clearly close to opening his summer account and must be regarded a leading contender
  43. JAKARTAS DES PRES – Last but one behind HARLEY GEMA (12) in a 2150m Class A here 3 weeks ago. Is competitively-shod this time but still has too much to find
  44. COQUAHOLY – Starts for first time since running 6th of 16 in a 2850m Laval Class A last March. Front shoes off but is still going to need the outing
  45. IZNOGOUD AM – 7th of 15 behind HARLEY GEMA (12) in a 2150m Class A here 3 weeks ago. Raced better that day than the result would suggest and with a front-line break can make a big splash. Claim
  46. HERADAMES – 6th of 13 in a 2850m Vincennes Class B on 30 May. Has never delivered under harness at this level and is not about to start now
  47. JANGO VICI – Did not enjoy the best of trips when 9th of 14 behind HORATIUS D’ELA (5) in a 2950m Toulouse Gr.3 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly in fine shape though and the fine entry will only work in his favour
  48. HAVE SEVEN – Last of 13, on return from a spell, behind HERADAMES (9) in a 2850m Vincennes Class B on 30 May. Shoes on again and can be ruled out
  49. HARLEY GEMA – 4th in a Laval Gr.3 before coming 4th of 15 in a 2150m Class A here 3 weeks ago. Is not a priority but runs barefoot and is worth keeping an eye on
  50. HORCHESTRO – Made it 2 in a row when dominating a 2850m Vincennes Class A on 22 June. Has placed at Gr.1 level and has every chance of pulling off the hat-trick
  51. IBIKI DE HOUELLE – Surprisingly lacklustre last of 7 in 2100m Gr.1 Prix Rene Ballière at Vincennes a fortnight back. Has otherwise been in excellent shape this year and at this level should prove considerably more competitive
  52. KRACK TIME ATOUT – 7th of 13, on first start since November, in 2175m Gr.2 Prix Jean le Gonidec at Vincennes on 7 June. Will have come on for the run but is still in conditioning-mode
  53. FAKIR DE MAHEY – 3rd in a Gr.3 before running 4th of 9 in 2850m Gr.1 Prix Chambon P at Vincennes on 7 June. Unlikely to impose but is always game and even from the second row can put on a good show
    Summary: IZNOGOUD AM (8) put in a very good effort over shorter here last month and considering what he has shown at home in Sweden, must be considered a serious proposition. 25m worse off but nevertheless at the top of his game, HORCHESTRO (13) is unbeaten in 2 starts with Eric Raffin and has a realistic claim on the silverware. Reassuring in Toulouse, HORATIUS D’ELA (5) has previously won under these conditions and the front row start will do his prospects no disservice. JANGO VICI (10) failed to fire that day after having imposed at Le Croise-Laroche but trainer Antonio Ripoll Rigo will be expecting redemption. IBIKI DE HOUELLE (14) drops back down the class-ladder and receives an Alexandre Abrivard drive for the first time.
    SELECTIONS
    IZNOGOUD AM (8) – HORCHESTRO (13) – HORATIUS D’ELA (5) – JANGO VICI (10)
    C5 – PRIX D’ESTRY – 2250m (a1m1/2) – Class C Race – Mounted – EUR € 53,000
  54. KING DU RIL – Lost his action when going well in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 11 days ago. Is behind in earnings and with application should logically finish in the mix
  55. KILL AND KISS – Has done nothing but improve recently, latterly 3rd of 9 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 24 June. In better company this time but should nonetheless hold his own
  56. KARA D’OR – Switches discipline after finishing last but one in a 2875m Enghien harness Class D a week ago and is unlikely to influence the result
  57. KEEPER PERRINE – Lost his action when preparing for this in a 3125m Angers harness Class D on 10 June. Is unbeaten in 2 starts under these conditions though and has every chance of extending that run
  58. KOPECK DE CHENU – Fine servant that finished last but one on re-entry in a 2100m Vincennes harness Class C 8 days ago. Takes on a good bunch this time and even with Eric Raffin in the bike appears to have too much to find
  59. KANTHABELLA – Back under the saddle after being sanctioned in a 2825m harness Class E at Le Croise-Laroche mid-June and can be confidently ruled out
  60. KELLY D’ESSARTS – Serious sort that was not disgraced when 6th of 10 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.1 a fortnight back. Is not about to win this but has the wherewithal to get in on the action
  61. KALIMERO JASMA – 2nd of 13 in a 2175m Vincennes Class D on 27 May. Has not put a foot out of line over recent months, sports a new configuration, and is not about to let the side down. First 5
  62. KOQUIN DU PERCHE – Won smartly at Vincennes in April but 6th of 9 next time in a 2700m Class C at the same venue mid-May. Has had time to get his house in order however and Alexandre Abrivard will be eager to put things right. Chance
  63. KINGDOM KAT – Sanctioned, on first start since last November, in a 2150m harness Class C here on 24 May. No longer the horse he was at 3 and is unlikely to shake things up
  64. KILOU D’YMER – Last but one, on return to competition, in a 2100m Vincennes harness Class C 8 days ago. Entrusted to Eric Raffin this time and can play an active role
  65. KOBALT DU VALLON – Unraced since coming 2nd of 12 in a 2850m Laval Class C on 24 April. Is barefoot for the occasion and will be competitive for another podium place
  66. KATLINE MOUROTAISE – Fine campaigner in the ridden discipline but has not raced since coming 2nd of 12 in a 2850m Vincennes Class C last January. 4 pads fitted and best to hold off
  67. KASBAH PERRINE – Well-beaten last of 8 in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.2 on 30 May. Takes a notable dip in class but still looks to have too much to do
    Summary: Winner of 2 in a row, including over course and distance, KEEPER PERRINE (4) returns to the code after prepping under harness at Angers and, shod to preference, can wrap this up. That said, Paul Ploquin will be mindful of KOQUIN DU PERCHE (9) whose recent Vincennes run can be ignored, and KILOU D’YMER (11) who is barefoot for his return to the discipline. KOBALT DU VALLON (12) has not raced since late-April but thrives with Alexis Collette and will be expected to get straight back in the game.
    SELECTIONS
    KEEPER PERRINE (4) – KOQUIN DU PERCHE (9) – KILOU D’YMER (11) – KOBALT DU VALLON (12)
    C6 – PRIX DE ROME – 2150m (a1m1/4) – Gr3 Race – Harness – EUR € 80,000
  68. MAGNUM DU CHOQUEL – Returns to a more reasonable level after finishing last but one behind MYSTIC SONATO (6) in 2700m Gr.1 Prix Albert Viel at Vincennes a fortnight ago, but is still being aimed too high
  69. MOSAIC LIFE – Useful filly that finished 3rd of 9 finishers, a place behind GIULIA PLAY (16), in 2700m Gr.3 Prix d’Istres a month ago. Takes on the colts this time but starts in front and should not be ruled out
  70. GUGLIELMO JET – 3rd of 12 in a 2100m San Siro Gr.1 a month back. Is plainly superior to most here and from the 3-spot will have every chance of keeping his unbeaten French record intact
  71. MISTRAL DU GOUTIER – 2nd of 12 in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.3 on 6 June. Has been knocking at the door all year and is ideally-placed to open his 2025 account
  72. MARZIPAN – Honest type that ran 4th of 12 behind MISTRAL DU GOUTIER (4) in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.3 on 6 June. Well-positioned on front row and will not be sent out at 28/1 this time around
  73. MYSTIC SONATO – Takes a dip in category after running 6th of 12 in 2700m Gr.1 Prix Albert Viel across town a fortnight ago. Will be fully fit by now and, already twice a winner for Franck Nivard, must be retained
  74. MISSANDEI – Unplaced in both since the break, latterly last of 12 behind MYSTIC SONATO (6) in 2700m Gr.1 Prix Albert Viel at Vincennes a fortnight ago, and must first reaffirm
  75. MARDOUK DE GODREL – 6th of 8 finishers, a place behind MYSTIC SONATO (6), in 2175m Gr.2 Prix Kalmia on 27 May. Drops back in class but still not an obvious choice
  76. MAGIC MAR – Makes French debut after winning 2150m Gr.2 Gran Premio Nacional at Son Pardo on 18 May. Takes on a better lot this time and chances slim
  77. MUSCLE DREAM – Got off the mark in a 2875m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Has considerable progress in him and is unlikely to be far from the action if Mathieu Mottier successfully navigates the start
  78. MARGAUX DES ARRIS – Modest 6th of 9 finishers behind GIULIA PLAY (16) in 2700m Gr.3 Prix d’Istres at Vincennes a month back. On 2nd row and appears to have nothing to offer
  79. MUST ATOUT – Won 2 in a row, including over course and distance, before being sanctioned in 2175m Gr.2 Prix Kalmia on 27 May. Comes here fresh and, winner of his only Enghien start, must not be overlooked
  80. MAESTRO VRIE – Comfortable winner of a 2950m Vichy Class B on 19 June, on first start for over 2 months. Not ideally-drawn though and a minor place chance at best
  81. GOGGIA – Sanctioned in 2700m Gr.3 Prix d’Istres a month ago. Matthieu Abrivard in the bike this time but others still preferred
  82. FRAGOLINO ROSSO – Flew up over 1640m in Stockholm on 10 June. Shoes back on here but is still very hard to ignore. Chance
  83. GIULIA PLAY – Sprang a 109/1 surprise when 2nd of 9 finishers in 2700m Gr.3 Prix d’Istres a month ago. Trainer in the bike this time and the draw only compounds matters
    Summary: Only ever a step away from faulting, but nonetheless highly talented, GUGLIELMO JET (3) won the Gr.3 Prix Penthesilea at Vincennes last March, on his only start north of the Alps, sports shoes as he did then, and from the 3-spot can repeat. Starting next to him, and plainly close to his race, MISTRAL DU GOUTIER (4) was beaten only by a very good horse in the Gr.3 Prix de Gien a month back and similarly enjoys a terrific draw. In stark contrast, the Swedish FRAGOLINO ROSSO (15) has pulled a bad number but was superb in Solvalla last month and even though shod still looks a major player. Also on the back line but patently in rude health, MUSCLE DREAM (10) is worth taking seriously.

    C7 – PRIX DU MOULIN ROUGE – 2150m (a1m1/4) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 56,000
  84. I LOVE D’AMOUR – 4th of 7 finishers, on first start since last August, in a 2450m Castillonnès Class F a fortnight back. Will have come on for the run but still needs to find more
  85. IDOLE ELDE – Flew up at Saint-Malo on re-entry before coming 4th of 11 in a 2650m Segre Class E last weekend. Has form at the venue and can bring the fight to INDIC (4)
  86. INSIDE – Winner of his last 2, latterly dominating a 2750m Class E at La Capelle mid-June. Fitted with shoes this time but still looks competitively well in
  87. INDIC – Tenacious 2nd of 12 in a 2800m Vichy Class E on 26 May. Has been knocking at the door all year and given his liking for the Enghien profile, can finally get his nose in front
  88. INFIEL – Got back in the game on 5 June when victorious in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F. Goes barefoot again and will be competitive for a place in the frame
  89. IVON DE LA MONERIE – Sanctioned in both since returning from a lengthy absence, most recently a 2750m Class E at La Capelle on 20 June, and can be ruled out
  90. IZIO DU POMMEREUX – Reassuring winner of a claimer over course and distance a week ago. Steps back up in category but can still pick up some prizemoney
  91. ISSIA DE CHARLY – Pleasant 4th of 10 in a 2600m Nancy Class F 8 days ago but may just be biting off too much this time
    Summary: A number horses in contention despite the small field, but it is very hard to ignore the ultra-consistent INDIC (4) who has come consistently close this year and who has never disappointed at Enghien. Taking him on, IDOLE ELDE (2) trounced the opposition in her last 2 starts on a hard surface and should be in a position to apply the pressure. INFIEL (5) gave a reassuringly good account at Mauquenchy and with application should again figure prominently. INSIDE (3) races shod and is unlikely to pull off the hat-trick but still has the wherewithal to finish in the mix.
    SELECTIONS
    INDIC (4) – IDOLE ELDE (2) – INFIEL (5) – INSIDE (3)
    C8 – PRIX DU LOUVRE – 2875m (a2m) – Gr3 Race – Harness – EUR € 80,000
  92. EVERY TIME WINNER – Trounced in 2 since returning to France, most recently 11th of 14 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 30 May, and has nothing to offer
  93. KONFINEE – Useful mare making first appearance since running 7th of 11 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.2 on 12 April. Matthieu Abrivard in the bike this time but still not a priority
  94. LA STAR ROC – Returns to racing with 4 pads fitted after finishing last but one in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.2 a month ago and will not be troubling the judge
  95. LAPIS LAZULI – Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2750m Craon Class B on 23 June. Shoes on again and poses no danger
  96. KAPTAIN DU LIAMONE – Has been on a fine run of form this year, latterly 4th of 8 finishers in a 2625m Agen Class B in late-May. Fitted with pads this time and others preferred
  97. KAPORAL DES FORGES – Pleased in 2 here before faulting in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Jean-Yves Lecuyer at Vincennes on 22 June. Unlikely to create an upset but should not be written off either
  98. KARAMBAR – Solid in 3 of last 4, latterly 4th of 12 finishers in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Jean-Yves Lecuyer at Vincennes on 22 June. Put on a decent show that day and looks good enough to contest the finish this time
  99. KELLE BEAUTE – Pleasantly surprising 5th of 12 finishers, a place behind KARAMBAR (7), in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Jean-Yves Lecuyer at Vincennes on 22 June, and will not be sent out at 104/1 this time
  100. EDGAR SABA – Came 4th over shorter here before running 10th of 12 finishers in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Jean-Yves Lecuyer at Vincennes on 22 June. Has never disappointed at Enghien though and Francois Lagadeuc will be eyeing a place on the podium
  101. KOBAYASHI – Sanctioned in last 2, most recently 22 June race of reference. Was not the most fortunate that day but has nothing to prove at this level and with stride in check can get in on the action
  102. JAZZMAN (GER) – Was clearly in good shape when sanctioned in 22 June race of reference. Already a Gr.3 winner this term and although unlikely to repeat, he sports pads this time and can make first 5
  103. LOVISSIME – 6th of 17 in a 2850m Vincennes monte Gr.1 on 22 June. Here for a change of scenery and can be passed over
  104. KEEN WINNER – 6th of 12 finishers behind KARAMBAR (7), despite some poor luck, in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Jean-Yves Lecuyer at Vincennes on 22 June. Is patently in excellent condition though and and can impose if she stays clear of trouble
  105. KAMEHAMEHA – 6th of 10 finishers behind KEEN WINNER (13) in 2175m Gr.2 Prix Jean le Gonidec across town a month ago. Will have come on for the run and the engagement of Eric Raffin speaks volumes
    Summary: Runner-up in the Gr.2 Prix Jean le Gonidec a month ago before being denied a run in the G.3 Prix Jean-Yves Lecuyer a fortnight ago, KEEN WINNER (13) has already won under these conditions and can do so again if Yoann Lebourgeois keeps her out of harm’s way. KAMEHAMEHA (14) makes just his 2nd start back but is reunited with Eric Raffin and looks the main threat. KARAMBAR (7) left a good impression here 2 weeks ago and should again figure prominently, as should the Enghien-loving EDGAR SABA (9) who will be expected to bounce back.

  106. FUNNY HORSE – Good 2nd of 10 in a 2575m Agen Class E 2 weeks ago. Sports modified shoeing but starts on the rail and others easier to back
  107. GUESS FOUTEAU – Takes a dip in category after coming 7th of 14, a place behind GIPSY BOND (6), in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 30 May. Franck Nivard stays faithful and from the 2-spot is not about to disappoint
  108. GALINETTE BLEUE – 4th of 10 finishers in a 2400m Chateaubriant Class D on 8 June. Gabi Gelormini in the bike this time but still needs to find more
  109. GAMINE DE RIBEAU – Sanctioned in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E a fortnight back. A write-off so far this year and has no possible chance
  110. HEYDAY – Quality element that ran 11th of 16 in a 2800m Class E conditioner at Castéra-Verduzan last weekend and even though new to the venue still looks the one to beat
  111. GIPSY BOND – Back under harness after coming last but one in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Starts in front and can play a role if he repeats his penultimate performance
  112. GROUPIE DU QUENNE – Sanctioned in a 2400m Chateaubriant Class D a month back. Reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois with whom she goes well and is eminently capable of finishing in the mix
  113. HEUREUX DE FLEUR – 3rd of 14 on re-entry in a 3450m Agon-Coutainville Class E a fortnight ago. Has a particular liking for Enghien and will have a lot to offer if he stays in stride
  114. HURLEVENT – Sanctioned on comeback in a 2350m Angers Class E on 10 June and would be preferred under the saddle
  115. HAROLD SAUTONNE – Unable to confirm Les Sables-d’Olonne victory when 6th of 14 in a 2650m Segre Class E last Sunday. Tends to go well in the day’s configuration and even from the 2nd row looks a leading contender
  116. HEAVEN D’ECAJEUL – Returns to the professional ranks after dominating a 2100m Vincennes amateurs Class F 11 days ago. On 2nd row but is plainly enjoying a rich vein of form and must be respected
  117. HILDA DU THYRAL – 2nd of 10 in a 2875m amateurs Class F here late last month. Forced to start on 2nd line though and is unlikely to cause an upset
  118. HUGO DU BOURG – 9th of 13 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 20 June. Has been disappointing all year and can be passed over
  119. GISARO – Back at a more reasonable level after being sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class C a fortnight back. Not ideally drawn but goes barefoot, will be reined by Eric Raffin this time, and must not be ruled out
  120. HANDZARO DU BOCAGE – Facile Amiens winner before being sanctioned in a 2800m Moulins Class F last weekend. Just front pads fitted this time and will have little to offer
  121. GREFFIERS FLINOIS – In the frame in 3 of last 4, most recently 2nd of 11 in a 1800m Class E at La Capelle mid-June, but with pads on is not about to set Enghien alight
    Summary: A fine campaigner when barefoot and focused, HEYDAY (5) has a pair of runs under his belt, has been handed a good draw, and despite being preferred racing clockwise, he still looks good enough to win this. Reassuring at Agon, HEUREUX DE FLEUR (8) is forced to break wide but has never disappointed at Enghien and with application will be competitive for the win. Winner at Les Sables-d’Olonne before failing to confirm on turf, HAROLD SAUTONNE (10) returns to a hard surface and, reconfigured for the occasion, is unlikely to let the side down. GUESS FOUTEAU (2) raced better at Vincennes than the result would imply and Franck Nivard will be keen to put things right.

    Summary: LADY D’AUBRELLE (5) showed promise on debut and, with natural improvement likely, she should prove hard to beat in this small field. MIAMI SKY (1) has only been modest so far but is capable of posing a threat in this line-up. POLYTEC (2) unseated the rider at Sablé-sur-Sarthe but was going well prior to that and cannot be ruled out. KAZAKHE D’AIRY (3) needs to find a few lengths to win but could still pick up some minor money

  6. FOR BETTY – Unreliable on the flat and was 15th in a handicap at Lyon-Parilly over 2000m on 8 May. Open to improvement over fences.
    Summary: LECOSTO (2) has improved significantly this year and already has some smart wins behind him. It doesn’t get any easier from here, but he can complete his hat-trick. LE LISON (4) unseated the rider at Lyon-Parilly but looked likely to win a hurdle race before that and could be a lively danger if more settled this time. DJEMBE DAVIS (5) has been modest of late but may enjoy the fences and is expected to improve. ELTON (1) is very consistent but has yet to win a race.

    Summary: MY WAY (1) has a good record in this category and was only narrowly beaten at Montluçon-Néris-les-Bains. He can bounce back and go one better here. AUTHENTIQUE COTTE (2) has also performed well at this level and should be in the mix once again. KOOL AND GIRLY (5) is unreliable but has put in some fair efforts over fences and could be involved at the finish. UNIVERSAL WIND (3) is another who can be competitive in this line-up.

    Summary: A small field, but we could be in for an exciting finish. LUCKY GIFT (6) has been runner-up several times and now gets an ideal opportunity to shed her maiden tag. ZELZAL DREAM (2) is very consistent and will be a threat once again, although she is struggling to get her head in front.

  23. MISS TALVARD – A 2-year-old filly by The Grey Gatsby out of Valrose who makes her debut. A well-bred sort who can be involved in the finish
    Summary: ASIF ALI (1) showed good improvement second time out at Lyon-Parilly last month. Further progress is expected, and he looks the one to side with. TREIZE ACTIVE (4) finished off her race nicely on debut and is also likely to improve, so must be respected. TASMANIA (5) has only been modest so far but could take a step forward and contest the finish. Keep an eye on the betting for the debutant MISS TALVARD (6), as she may be ready to run a big race.

  29. MOSAIQUE ARDENTE – Fifth on debut in a Condition race at Wissembourg over 2400m on 9 June. Can improve on the first effort
  30. RUE BEAUBOURG – Finished 8th on debut in a Condition race at Dieppe over 2400m on 14 June. Others make much more appeal
  31. MIEUX QUE PAPA – Finished 7th in a Condition race at Strasbourg over 2100m on 25 June. Unlikely to be involved in the finish

    Summary: MAHAMA (9) was not disgraced on debut. The well-bred filly will wear pacifiers this time, and she looks the type who could benefit from that equipment—so it might do the trick in a modest race. BAGAZ (1) ran well on debut and should be a threat to these rivals. VINGT SEPT (2) has been modest in two starts but is capable of improvement.

  37. MISS GREELEY – Third in a Handicap at Lyon-Parilly over 3150m on 14 June. Made a good return after nearly a year’s absence and warrants attention

    Summary: DRAGON LOVE (3) has improved of late and picked up a win on the PSF last month. He is just as good on the grass but does have to carry a penalty for that win. VINO (4) has yet to win a race and is unreliable but is capable of contesting the finish when in the right mood. DIAMOND ROAD (2) drops down in grade so expect a better performance. MISS GREELEY (5) is clearly better over further but might nake the frame.

He is given the vote in this competitive handicap. MASTER OWEN (2) arrives in good form following a strong runner-up effort in a handicap at Longchamp and looks a major player once again.

  11. ON Y VA – Unplaced on all six runs this year, the latter over 2000m at Strasbourg on June 25th in a Class 4 race. Needs to bounce back to form
  12. LA JAVANAISE – Has eased in the weights, 7th in a Class 3 handicap on turf on June 19th in a Class 3 handicap when last racing. Track and trip winner in 2024 with a higher rating. Capable if in the mood

  18. MONTGAUDRY – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 1800m at Compiegne on April 12th in a Class 3 handicap. Place contender

  24. KENNY – Three solid efforts of late, 4th on the latter over 1950m in a Class 4 handicap on June 25th. Each way contender
    Summary: ZAUR (2) is a tentative selection here, with the benefit of a recent run under his belt and a drop in the weights giving him a live chance in a modest contest. CHUBASCO (5), also well-handicapped now and a previous course and distance winner, could bounce back to form in these calmer waters. KENNY (16), from the bottom of the handicap, looks interesting each way, especially if there’s a strong pace to aim at.

  49. KIM KARALA – Two unplaced efforts since a 2nd over 1900m at Deauville on April 8th in a Class 3 handicap. Others seem better equipped
    Summary: MAGURO (4) gets the nod in this competitive handicap after a solid fourth in a stronger race at ParisLongchamp. He looks ready to strike off a fair mark. TORTOLA (1), although giving weight all around, is a genuine filly who can go close if coping with her impost. QUEEN’S ANGEL (13) rates a solid each-way play—she’s well handicapped and likely underestimated in the market. BAILEYS ECLAIR (8) is capable of making the top four.

    Summary: If non the worse from his exploits in the Commenwealth Cup (Gr.1) at Royal Ascot late last month, ARABIE (1) looks like the one to take seriously in this Listed event. He has the most to fear from AESTERIUS (7), who also ran in a Group 1 race at the Royal meeting, and will be more at home in a lesser class race over slightly further. TOLEBI (3) looks best of the local talent, and this lightly raced gelding has a good deal more to come. ALEM (2) makes up the shortlist.

  73. MANDRES – Ran well to be 3rd at Compiegne on June 9th in a Class 3 handicap over 1600m on her last start. Others look better handicapped
    Summary: HONEY BADGER (3) has a good draw in stall 7 and won over course and distance when last seen in a Class 3 race in February. He goes well fresh and is given the nod ahead of HARRISON POINT (5), who handles this track well, having won here last year, and if able to overcome stall 11, he can be competitive. LETTYT FIGHT (15) can make the top four; he has a low weight and is a capable performer on his day. HADEWIN (8) heads the remainder.

    Summary: ALI SHUFFLE (7) ran a cracker to be second in a Group 3 race at Chantilly over 1200m last month, she won her previous three runs over todays trip, and can get the better of AFJAN (1) who ran well when sixth at Ascot (UK) on June 19th in the Norfolk Stakes (Gr.2). He scored over 1100m at Chantilly on his only other run. KIMI REY (6) enters calculations on her third-place run in a Listed race in early June at Chantilly. JEUDIXX (8) is another to take seriously.

    Summary: In a competitive claimer, ROYAL SAXO (5) ran a good race when second in a Class 2 handicap at Chantilly late in April on the latest start. He is marginally preferred ahead of AMERICAN LAWYER (3), who could be the one to give the selection the most to think about. He has raced in competitive Class 1 handicaps on his last two runs, and he is top-rated. CYNOSURE (2) is one to include in all of the each way calculations. GAILLARD (4) can also be on the premises.

    Summary: GLAMOUR YOMA (10) produced an impressive performance when scoring at this track just a few days ago. Despite being drawn on the second row, he has the speed and form to defy the wider berth, especially over this shorter distance. HARMONY LA NUIT (5) caught the eye with a strong late surge on her most recent outing at this venue and, if reproducing that effort, is a serious contender. INDOCILE (9) returns from a short break following his last victory and could go well fresh. GAVROCHE DE L’ITON (3) appears to be back to his best and deserves respect in this company.

IDYLLE DU PERSIL (9) signaled a return to form with a good effort at Feurs and could pose a serious threat to the Terry-trained duo.

LEVIATHAN SANTMIXO (6) is well placed at the conditions and benefits from the booking of a top driver—he should not be overlooked.

JASMIN DU PERRE (6) ran better than his finishing position suggests last time out at this course and should not be dismissed lightly.

KAPORAL MARANCOURT (5) is expected to benefit significantly from the reduced trip and, drawn on the front row, poses a serious threat.

  52. KELLE ILE LILA – Finished 4th in Class F at this track over 2950m on 11 June. Capable of contesting the finish in this division again and warrants attention
  53. KATHY DU PERCHE – Unplaced in Class D at Valence-sur-Baïse over 2575m on 15 June. No shoes and can show some improvement
  54. KADENCE – Runner-up in Class F at this track over 2950m on 19 June. Should make a bold bid for victory. Big player
  55. KENDAYA – Finished 3rd in Class F at Miramont-de-Guyenne over 2700m on 9 June. A consistent sort who must be respected
  56. KALYPSO MI AMOR – Finished 5th in Class F at La Capelle over 1800m on 15 June. She is a consistent sort who must have her chances in this division
  57. KIDA DE LA BESSE – Disqualified at Miramont-de-Guyenne on 9 June. Must be wise to be involved in the race. Major improvement needed
  58. KHADIDJA CASTELETS – Finished 4th in Class F at Cabourg over 2050m on 1 July. If recovered from the recent effort, can play a role in the finish
  59. KILEA DU VAL – Winner in Class F at Lyon-Parilly over 2850m on 8 June. Up in grade and will need to build on the last effort to play a role
  60. KEMILLA LEAGABIN – Finished 3rd in Class R at Jullianges over 2450m on 22 June. This is tougher and is unlikely to be involved in the finish
  61. KENZA SPORT – Finished 7th in Class E at Amiens over 2400m on 12 June. If in the mood can play a role in the finish
  62. KIANA OASIS – Disqualified at Agon-Coutainville over 2200m on 22 June. Hard to make a case on current form and can be passed over
  63. KITA DES BOIS – Disqualified at Lyon-Parilly on 8 June. Modest recent form and to hard to trust to make a case. Others are preferred
  64. KALINE MAHU – Winner in Class F at Jullianges over 2425m on 22 June. In similar form will have her chances here too
  65. KARIOLA DE LOU – Finished 8th in Class E at Châteaubriant over 3000m on 25 May. Others make more appeal in this line-up
  66. KANELLE LA RAVELLE – Disqualified at this track on 30 June. Must be wise, and improvement is necessary to feature in this line-up
    Summary: KADENCE (3) tends to deliver her best performances when racing unshod and is ideally drawn behind the car. She is narrowly preferred in this competitive event. KENDAYA (4) also benefits from a favourable starting berth and brings a profile of consistent efforts, making her a serious contender. KHADIDJA CASTELETS (7) produced a solid performance just four days ago and, provided she has recovered sufficiently, is expected to feature in the finish once more. KELLE ILE LILA (1) may find this trip on the sharp side, but her overall form makes her difficult to dismiss entirely.

  69. MARIUS DE FEUGERES – Finished 4th in Class D at Saint-Galmier over 2650m on 29 June. More is needed here and others are much preferred in this line-up
  70. MY LADY ISLAND – Runner-up in Class E at this track over 2200m on 20 May. Very competitive in this division and should be involved once again
  71. MARIO MASCAR – Disqualified at La Roche-Posay over 2600m on 15 June. Has the assistance of Jean-Michel Bazire and if applied will have his chances
  72. METEOR PIERJI – Runner-up in Class F at this track over 2950m on 16 June. Improving with racing and warrants attention here
  73. MAREVA – Finished 5th in Class D at Saint-Galmier over 2650m on 29 June. Improvement are needed in a race like this and is best to pass over

  75. MOON IN THE SKY – Runner-up in Class F at Craon over 2275m on 23 June. Remains hard to trust and change of surface may not help
    Summary: MISTHOS CHRISTAL (2) made an impressive winning debut at this track and, despite a below-par performance last time out, is worth another chance to confirm his potential. MARIO MASCAR (5) can be temperamental but the booking of Jean-Michel Bazire is a notable vote of confidence, and he cannot be readily dismissed. METEOR PIERJI (6) continues on an upward trajectory and appears capable of playing a leading role in this company. MY LADY ISLAND (4) ran a courageous second in a similar contest last time and is expected to be competitive once again.
