SIMPLY LOVELY (11) struggled at Deauville but is much better at this track and can contest the finish. FORCHESTER (4) is usually very competitive and is clearly not out of it in this line-up. NATIONAL SERVICE (1) has to give weight to all his rivals but does like this track and trip. SWEET CHOP (3) could also be a danger off this handicap mark.

Summary: ALINKA (9) showed improvement when dropped to this division and was a good winner at Lyon-Parilly. She sets the standard for the race. MONCLAR (2) was not disgraced in his two starts so far and would not be a surprise winner on his first run in a claimer.

KHAN (6) has struggled recently but is capable of winning off a dropping handicap mark.

Summary: BOTICELLI (8) is clearly capable of winning off his current mark. The only question he has to answer is whether he can show that form on this surface. GEOPOLITICAL (4) has yet to win but has been very consistent so far and should be a threat on handicap debut. AL MAX (3) picked up a confidence-boosting win and is a possible contender now trying a handicap. NEUSCHWANSTEIN (15) has won on the PSF, so is another to consider.

LA FERRETCAPIENNE (3) is in very good shape and looking to break the ice after 32 starts without success. IMAYA (15) has not shown her best form on this surface but is capable of winning a race of this nature. ZAMPANU (6) was runner-up in a handicap on his penultimate start and can go one better.

Summary: A very tricky lucky last race. LA BELLA OTERO (1) was not disgraced in her three runs in pacifiers and could do a lot better now with a tongue tie fitted. She is capable of winning off her current handicap mark. RAIDEN (5) is best judged on his good run in a claimer on his penultimate start and could threaten the judge.

- THE BLACK VELVET – Finished 2nd in a Claimer over 1400m at Dax on the 21st of September 2025. Tough task at hand
- LADY SOFIA – Finished 8th on debut in a maiden over 1600m at Toulouse on the 24th of September 2025. Will make natural improvement here
- SHE’S CENTURION – Ran 5th in a maiden over 1600m at Toulouse on the 24th of September 2025. One for larger exotics
- MISS YOUMZAIN – Supplemented Miss Youmzain is out of the 1 time winning mare Miss Spirit. This filly may need the debut run
Summary: INCENTIVE GLORY (7) and VALTRADA (5) are no strangers to each other when meeting in their last start and are confidently selected to fill in the first and second place positions and their form backs them up to do so. However, VALTRADA (5) did finish ahead of the top choice and could be a major threat again. LANA ZAIN (2) was encouraging on debut when running fifth and could finish closer this time around. LADY SOFIA (11) wraps up the mix.

C5 – PRIX JEAN DES ROCHES DE CHASSAY – 4200m (a2m1/2) – TURF – Class 1 – Steeple Chase – EUR € 37,000 - JAROUSSKY AA – He will strip fitter for a recent run over 3500m at Toulouse on September 17th in a Class 3 handicap chase. 3rd before that behind KOBE DE LA BRUNIE AA (4) over track/trip on April 5th. Live chance
- ISISDELAGARDE AA – Three solid efforts this year, 2nd on the most recent over 3600m in a Class 3 chase at Pompadour on August 31st. Ought to be thereabouts
- LIZZANO AA – Ran well to be 2nd behind DREAM ON POMPADOUR AA (10) over 4100m in a Class 2 chase on September 21st. Capable of being on the premises
- KOBE DE LA BRUNIE AA – He won over 4200m in a Class 1 chase over track and trip on April 5th by 2L. He has run well fresh before and is hard to overlook
- GARETH DE LARACHI AA – Unplaced on the last run at Pau in a Class 1 cross-country chase on March 10th over 4700m. He will improve for this run after a prolonged absence
- GOY D’OC AA – Three unplaced efforts of late, the latter when 6th in a Class 3 cross-country chase at Castera-Verduza on September 28th. Look elsewhere
- HARDI BLUE TROIS AA – Recent 3rd over 4100m at Dax in a Class 2 chase behind DREAM ON POMPADOUR AA (10) on September 21st. Place chance
- INDIA DE CANDALE AA – She won over 4900m at Castera-Verduza in a Class 3 cross-country chase last time out on September 28th. This might be more difficult
- GALYLEO DE PALMAS AA – Two wins of late in cross-country chases, the most recent over 4200m at Mont-De-Marsan on March 2nd. Seems better suited to cross-country races
- DREAM ON POMPADOUR AA – Good win over 4100m in a Class 2 chase by over 5 lengths on September 21st. He will be in a good frame of mind after that win and is in the mix
Summary: JAROUSSKY AA (1) is expected to come on for his recent run at Toulouse, where he looked in need of the outing. He should strip fitter now and is 2kg better off with KOBE DE LA BRUNIE AA (4), who beat him over this track and trip in a Class 1 chase back in April. The finish could once again be fought out between the pair. DREAM ON POMPADOUR AA (10) is also worth noting following a win in a Class 2 chase at Dax in late September. ISISDELAGARDE AA (2) completes the shortlist.

Summary: AL RASSOUL (10) ran a credible fourth last time out and has had 141 career starts for 8 wins. Being an experienced soldier, he could showoff his experience once again. GOOD’ID (2) is never far off them and is yet to win a race. She has the urge to break the maiden shackles off her hooves and will be a relief if she does so here. BECH RIVER (3) comes into the race off a firm win and will be of no surprise if he follows up. AMORETTI (9) holds a solid place chance.

Summary: SORIANE (5) has been second in command in her last two attempts and looks perfectly poised to strike and could very well get the job done here. ROYAL ETINCELLE (12) looks to be the top choices main threat as he comes into the race off two consecutive seconds and could very well claim his royal throne if the top choice is caught asleep. ULTRASOUND (8) can be forgiven for the below par last run and has a money chance based on overall form. Supplemented LOUP DU PYLA (7) deserves a minor mention.

- KRACK FOULONIERE –
- KLIF DU DEZERT – Disqualified at Enghien over 2150m on 27 September. Did win over this track and trip before that and must be respected
- KOKA DU DOUET – Victorious last time out in a claimer at Enghien over 2150m on 27 September. Can follow up this longer distance
- KALIKA DU RIS – Disqualified last time out at Enghien over 2875m on 6 October. Battling to find best form and others are preferred

- KRAFEN – Showed improvement and finished 4th in Class B at Lisieux over 2725m on 24 September. Hard to trust but can win in this division
Summary: A very competitive claimer. KRAFEN (17) has major disqualification issues but did run well in a better field than this at Lisieux and could be the one to beat. KOKA DU DOUET (12) won last time out in this division at Enghien but goes further this time around. KLIF DU DÉZERT (11) is not easy to trust but looked good when winning over this track and trip on his penultimate start and must be respected for that. KÉPI DU HOME (14) races without shoes this time and is also capable of improvement.
