JASMIN BLEU (2) is hard to trust but does win races when staying in stride. JUST ELGE DESBOIS (6) remains in good form and can be involved at the finish again. JASPER’S WAY (7) showed improvement at Fleurance, runs barefoot, and is capable of more progress, so could be a threat..

Summary: JUPITER PLANCHETTE (2) has major disqualification issues and is not easy to trust. However, he did score when last seen at this course and can win again if he behaves this time. IDOLE DE BEYLEV (8) is knocking at the door and should be right in the mix once more. HELIUM DE L’ITON (11) is unreliable but capable of contesting the finish if showing his best side. I LOVE D’AMOUR (9) is very consistent and would not be a surprise winner in a race of this nature.

INVICTUS NAR (6) has already won three races this year, remains barefoot, and is an obvious threat to these rivals. ICONOCLASTE ERABLE (9) bounced back to form with a solid run on turf last time and must be respected in this line-up. IMPULSE LADY (10) is much better than her recent form suggests.

- FATH ALKHAIR – Faded in the latter stages when he was 10th at Dax in a conditions race on July 31st over 2100m. He should strip fitter this time and he has place claims

- SKY AMBER KRF – 6th on his last start over 2100m at Dax in a conditions race on July 31st. Among the leading each way options

- YAFI – He was 11th of 14 runners on debut at Dax over 2100m on July 31st on his sole outing. Unlikely to trouble the judge
- ALRAKKAD – Unraced colt by Gazwan, the dam never ran. From a respected trainer who can ready a newcomer. Nice profile and a market check is advisable
- MABJESS DE BOZOULS – Unraced colt by Udjess De Bozouls, the dam never ran. Likely to improve for this run unless the betting patterns say otherwise
- GHAL’ID – Unraced colt by Sivit Al Maury, the dam never raced. Stable runners tend to need a run or two for experience. Watch for the time being
Summary: BALHAMBAR (2) showed a good deal of promise on his debut at Mont-De Marsan in mid-July. He was not given a hard introduction, and a better performance can be expected now that he has that experience under his belt. CHAGALL AL MAURY (7) could be the main threat. He will be sharper for a run at Mont-De Marsan in a Class 5 race and can step forward from that outing. ASSA’AF (9) shaped with promise on his only start at Dax late last month, and can have a say. KHATTA’AB (10) heads the rest.

Summary: EL BNOUD (1) made a pleasing debut when she was second at Mont-de-Marsan on August 1st over 2150m. She can step forward from that effort and is given the vote ahead of ALYAMAMAH (2), who was back in seventh in the same race. She will be more focused this time. TURQUOISE (7) was fourth in the same race and looks like a solid each-way option. BALSAAM (8) has shown talent on both starts and is one to consider.

Summary: NIGHTS ON BROADWAY (2) was a good third at Chantilly in a Class 2 race in nearly July on his latest start. He deserves to get back in the winner’s enclosure. GOOD GIFT (3) looks like a potential danger, having been placed on his last three starts. His fourth in a Group 3 at Vichy was a creditable performance, and this is a less competitive event. CAMBRONNE (1) has won two of his last three runs and can be on the premises.

- SHAGAF – Unraced filly by Al Mourtajez, the dam never raced. Leading connections, who will have this filly well prepared. Could make the frame
- MAJDA DE CARRERE – Newcomer by Nieshan, the dam never ran. Stable runners tend to need a run or two, and she is best watched on her opening run
- MERVEILLE DE BOZOULS – Unraced filly by Seraphin Du Paon, the dam ran a few times without a win. Likely to need this run for experience
- HM AL JADWAL – Unraced filly by Mister Ginoux, the dam won 1 race over 2200m. Looks good on paper and can be expected to be on the premises
Summary: ASAALAH (7) ran with plenty of promise when she was third at Dax in late July over 2100m. The slight drop in trip today should not be a concern, and she can get the better of KAOWKAB (8), who can make progress from a pleasing debut when fourth in mid-July at this venue over 1600m. The step up in trip this time can bring out more progress. HAMAT AL EZZ (3) looks like a sensible option each way. AL KASARAA (9) has a nice profile and is worth considering on debut.

Summary: BEAUTIFUL MESS (7) strongly suggested that a win is imminent with a solid runner-up performance at Dax. She can go one better. MIRAGE BLOU (4) has been very consistent of late and should be in the mix again. FLASH MAN (1) has not been at his best in his last two starts but remains capable of winning in this company.
