French Selections Friday 27th

R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DE SALAGNAC – 2850m (a2m) – Class D – Mounted – EUR € 46,000

LISBETH DRY – Placed in 2 here before faulting when full of running in an Enghien Class D 2.5 weeks ago, all under harness, and debuts in the code with Damien Bonne in the irons and lot to contribute
LIBERTY CASH – Handy dual-discipline mare returning to racing barefoot after failing to produce the goods at Laval under harness. Takes on a tougher lot this time but still cannot be dismissed
FRENCIS ZL – Completely out of the picture in 5 starts since returning to Paris and can be confidently disregarded
ETOILE DU OZ – Flattering 5th in a 2700m Class E here a month ago and will have few, if any, friends
LUDMILA DETE – Serious mare with fine aptitude for the code. Made a good impression on her re-entry, will have come on for the race, and can win this if kept trotting
LADY DE SAFRAN – Showed promise under the saddle in January before twice failing to deliver under harness. Is not a priority but should not be entirely ruled out either
KASANGA – Excellent campaigner that seldom disappoints these days when barefoot. Took little time getting back in the game and should again prove competitive for a place in the picture
LOLA D’AMOUR – Back in the discipline after placing twice under harness in Toulouse. Goes barefoot for the first time under the saddle but others still preferred
LEMPICKA SEPT – Got back down to business at Caen in February before winning a Meslay-du-Maine Class F, from pillar to post, 10 days ago, and Eric Raffin will be eager to make it 3 on the trot
KENIDILLE – As tricky as they come but has ample talent. Has not been seen out since last May, and remains shod for return, but enjoys a good entry and will be worth monitoring
Summary: Most impressive last summer when competitively-shod, LUDMILA DETE (5) was competitive when eliminated on last month’s comeback, will have no issues with the inner course, and can get off the mark for the new season. That being said, she can expect to encounter resistance from the tricky but talented, and reconfigured, LEMPICKA SEPT (9) who has enjoyed a new lease on life since being partnered by Eric Raffin. LISBETH DRY (1) looks the sort that can do well under the saddle and in current form is easy to recommend. KASANGA (7) is similarly easy to like when barefoot and focused, and climbs the category-ladder with a good hand to play.
SELECTIONS
LUDMILA DETE (5) – LEMPICKA SEPT (9) – LISBETH DRY (1) – KASANGA (7)
C2 – PRIX LUCIA – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 52,000
IZIJAL – Should not be too quickly-judged for failing to deliver here late last month. Was forced to endure a tough trip and Eric Raffin will be determined to make things right
JAG HAUFOR – Gave a good account on comeback prior to being eliminated at Laval. Is clearly in good shape though and can play a part if David Thomain manages to get him off on the right foot
JALOUZ D’OLIVERIE – Gave a good account on re-entry at Fougeres despite finishing out of the money. Is plainly better than most here and the draw will only work to her advantage. Claim
JOHORE – Takes a dip in category after running 3rd in a 2700m Class D here on 22 January. Benefits from a good draw, has already won under these conditions, and must be afforded respect
JADE RENARDIER – Clearly back at the top of her game, having won 2 of last 3, including over track and trip. Is reunited with Benoît Robin who drove her to victory that day, and will be expected to finish in the mix once more
JUNKIES MINDS – Was going well when eliminated in a Laval Class E earlier this month. Is plainly in rude health, sports modified shoeing, and given his liking for 2100m here, is likely to garner significant support
ISSIA DE CHARLY – Has done nothing of note since last summer and current form does nothing to inspire confidence
JOYEUSE ENTREE – Ran 3rd under harness at Caen 2.5 weeks ago prior to imposing in the other code 3 days later. Faces a better lot this time and chances appear slim
JOVIAL HAUFOR – Has been giving a good account of himself for the most part over recent months. Modest 5th in a Laval Class E on 11 March though and is not a priority this time
JUSTICIA GLAM – Imposed at Nantes before finishing 5th behind JOYEUSE ENTREE (8) at Caen. Sports modified shoeing and has previously imposed over track and trip, but is not about to influence the outcome
ICARE DUNGY – Has not once finished out of the frame since November, most recently bagging a Cagnes Class E with ease on 3 March. Forced to start on back line but in present shape is easy to like for a place in the picture
JORLANDO – Won 2 at the turn of the year before being eliminated in 3 straight. Ability is not in question but reliability is. Disregard
Summary: Twice a winner here during the winter meeting, JALOUZ D’OLIVERIE (3) is back at Vincennes after having just returned from a spell. She has pulled an excellent number and, if applied, can open her 2026 account. Paul Ploquin will still be keeping tabs on the in-form and reconfigured JUNKIES MINDS (6) who would have finished close at Laval had he not lost his action, and ICARE DUNGY (11) whose form can negate the draw he has been allocated. Better-positioned behind the car, JOHORE (4) makes his first appearance for 2 months but is plainly in race-mode and unlikely to be easily dominated.
SELECTIONS
JALOUZ D’OLIVERIE (3) – JUNKIES MINDS (6) – ICARE DUNGY (11) – JOHORE (4)
C3 – PRIX ADRASTEA – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
MURPHY DU PONCELET – Decent element making main-track bow after just the one return run. Looks a race shy and in this category will struggle to make his presence felt
MAXOU DIGEO – Has demonstrated very good aptitude for both codes, but has not been seen out since October and is going to need the race
MUST DREAM – Got back in the game when 2nd in a 2100m Class D here on 11 February. Is unlikely to create an upset but is still worth keeping an eye on
MIKA DE LA VALLEE – Useful colt making first appearance since 27 December. Has no main-track references and best to hold off
MOZART DE L’ITON – Drops marginally in category after having come 5th in a 2100m Class C here a week ago. Ran 2nd on sole course-and-distance run and should be good enough to make first 5
MITCH DE GRANOU – Never at his ease when 5th behind MALDRIC D’ECHAL (15) here on 22 February, 3 weeks after having run 2nd in a Class D. Boasts solid main-track references and, with application, can contest the finish
MISTER ROYAL – Was clearly full of running when unluckily eliminated in a Class C here last Friday, his first start since September. Is reunited with his regular partner and will be dangerous if he stays in stride
MOONLIGHT DU RHIN – Respectable sort that was not the most fortunate behind MALMO DE PUCH (14) at Saint-Galmier 2 weeks ago, but even so, will have too much to do
MISTRAL JANEIRO – Not the biggest fan of Vincennes but did get his head in front on one occasion. Races first-time barefoot though and can start to get back in the game
MALIUM – Easy winner of a Class E under these conditions on 25 February, beating MOZART DE L’ITON (5). Faces a stiffer test this time though and is unlikely to spring any surprises
MAROLY – Fine future prospect starting for the first time since 19 October. Goes left-handed on this occasion but is here for reasons of conditioning and can be ruled out
MANDELA SEVEN – Pleased here more than once before the turn of the year but well-beaten in last 2. Will be competitively-shod for the first time and Nicolas Bazire will be expecting rehabilitation
MOONLIGHT DJOC – Has done nothing but improve over past 6 weeks, most recently securing a Caen Class E mid-month, and although not a priority still cannot be discounted
MALMO DE PUCH – Quality trotter that left a good impression on re-entry a fortnight ago. Benefits from a superb engagement and is easy to like for the win
MALDRIC D’ECHAL – Valiant 3rd of 9 in a Class D under these conditions on 22 February. Trainer could not have wished for a better entry and will be justifiably confident of another good run
Summary: Barefoot for the first time after having made a fine comeback at Saint-Galmier earlier this month, MALMO DE PUCH (14) will be reunited with Eric Raffin for the occasion and is thoroughly capable of imposing. MITCH DE GRANOU (6) is better than his latest result would suggest and will be no easy touch if David Thomain gets him off on the right foot. Confirmed at a superior level, MISTER ROYAL (7) was not the luckiest here a week back and Benjamin Rochard will be out to set the record straight. MALDRIC D’ECHAL (15) enjoys a terrific entry here, showed his form last month, and will not be going home empty-handed.
SELECTIONS
MALMO DE PUCH (14) – MITCH DE GRANOU (6) – MISTER ROYAL (7) – MALDRIC D’ECHAL (15)
C4 – PRIX AEMILIA – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 46,000
LOUSTIC DE FLAM – Fine campaigner that seldom lets the side down but will be shod for the occasion and will have other ambitions
LIL BOSS ONLY – Like a horse reborn since starting to race in his current configuration. Steps marginally up in category after running 2nd under similar conditions early last month and is unlikely to be far from the action
LA DAME DE COEUR – Undeniably useful but has struggled to find her way this term and is unlikely to start now
LOUISDOR DECHAMBOU – Has enjoyed quite the resurgence since starting to race with 4 pads, but faces a tough task this time and is not about to secure the hat-trick
LORENZO GEDE – Has done nothing but improve this year, latterly winning an Amiens Class D early this month. Has placed, but never excelled, over the main track though and cannot be regarded a priority
LEVRETTE – Has not been seen out since disappointing at Cavaillon last September and can be passed over
LE GENTLEMAN – Justifiably well-regarded type making first appearance since November and is not about to spice things up
LEXCELLENT DU METZ – Gave a fine account of himself on comeback in a Class C here on 19 February despite being eliminated. Will have progressed for the race and must be considered a contender
LOOK D’HERMES – Useful element starting for first time since being eliminated in a Class D under these conditions on 22 January. Trainer in the bike this time and will be expecting to make amends
LETIKALIN – Gave a fine account on first objective of the year when runner-up to LAY UP (15) in a 2100m Class D here on 20 February. Tends to go well for Paul Ploquin who will be expecting to figure prominently at the business end of the race
L’AMOUR SUPREME – Occasionally loses focus but otherwise presents decent course-and-distance credentials. Goes barefoot following a pair of conditioners and must not be underestimated
LITTLETON LANDING – Serious mare whose latest numbers belie her true ability. Races barefoot following a promising prep and can complement her January victory
LOUNA DU LOCHEUR – Generous mare that finished ahead of LITTLETON LANDING (12) in a 2850m Class C here on 20 February. Always gives what she can and on courage alone could make first 5
LOLA DU CAMPUS – Encouraged here early last month, but subsequently failed to confirm next time, and against the boys on this occasion, will have nothing to offer
LAY UP – Comfortable winner of a 2100m Class D here on 20 February. Has never failed to deliver for Eric Raffin who will be justifiably anticipating a big performance
Summary: Given an Enghien conditioner after failing to deliver here just over a month back, LITTLETON LANDING (12) ran shod that day but nevertheless caught the eye. She will be barefoot this time, with Mathieu Mottier reining, and can impose, but she will still come under pressure from the wonderfully-consistent LEXCELLENT DU METZ (8) who would have finished close here last month had he not lost his action, and recent Class D winner, LAY UP (15), who benefits from a terrific entry. Good 2nd to the latter last time out, LETIKALIN (10) has been reconfigured and is unlikely to disappoint.
SELECTIONS
LITTLETON LANDING (12) – LEXCELLENT DU METZ (8) – LAY UP (15) – LETIKALIN (10)
C5 – PRIX EOS – 2850m (a2m) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 53,000
ESPADA (ITY) – Surprise 3rd in a 2700m Class E here before losing his action across town 3 weeks ago, and is being aimed too high this time
PURE STEEL – Useful but is not the easiest of horses to use. Will be driven by Eric Raffin for the first time though and is not to be overlooked
RAGAZZA DU CHENE – Raced respectably in a 2700m Class D here on 25 February. Has never delivered under these conditions but has merit and will generate some interest
ELTYME – Tough mare starting for first time since late-January. Has previously placed over course and distance but still not an obvious choice
JUBII VANG – Has placed just twice since coming to France but has yet to run to his mark. Was not disgraced last time out and will be expected to show some improvement
EL DORADO BAR – Imposed over 2700m at Vire last week after having won over 2700m here a month earlier. Has won 4 of last 5 starts in current configuration and will not be easy to oppose
FUSION EAGRA – Placed over course and distance earlier in the year, and most recently ran 3rd to EL DORADO BAR (6) at Vire 9 days ago, at 22-1. Gabriele Gelormini stays faithful and will be expecting to finish in first 3
EBANO D’ARC – Useful at home in Sweden but has never excelled at Vincennes. Makes first start since last June and is going to need the race
EMPIRE AS – Handy in both disciplines but can prove a handful. Has shown more under the saddle lately and others easier to back
KHEO VIVANCIERE – Good 2nd in a 2875m Enghien Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Is hard to knock in current configuration and looks the principal danger to EL DORADO BAR (6)
ERNESTO ROC – Moderate type with just the one run in him since the layoff. Springs the occasional surprise but in this company has no realistic chance
Summary: Winner of both objectives so far this term, and easily on both occasions, EL DORADO BAR (6) returns to the capital on a hat-trick and will be a tough nut to crack. Leading the opposition, KHEO VIVANCIERE (10) excels with Mathieu Mottier and looks a marginally better bet than FUSION EAGRA (7) whom he beat here in late-January. JUBII VANG (5) was not as sharp as expected at Cagnes but has been entrusted to Matthieu Abrivard and it is just a question of time before he comes good again.
SELECTIONS
EL DORADO BAR (6) – KHEO VIVANCIERE (10) – FUSION EAGRA (7) – JUBII VANG (5)
C6 – PRIX FAMA – 2175m (a1m1/4) – Class B – Harness – EUR € 52,000
NASHIRA RUSCINO – Third in Enghien race of reference after having imposed at Vire 9 days earlier. Has yet to tackle the Vincennes main track and is unlikely to find this the easiest of tests
NORA D’ELCE – Has not been seen out since clinching victory in a 2850m Class C here on 12 December. Will have been prepared for this though and it would be no surprise to see her win this
NINA HAGEN – Capable but unremarkable sort that showed improvement over the inner track a month back, but is not about to upset the status quo
NOOR DU CAMPUS – Opened her account in a 2100m Class D here on 10 February. Takes on a better bunch this time but has nonetheless earned the right to race here and can pick up some prizemoney
NIKITA DU MOUTHIEU – Handy element but has not raced since October and is going to need the run
NEPTUNE CHANTE – Imposed on debut at Vire on 8 February before easily confirming 8 days later in a 2700m Class C here. In more elevated company this time but is a serious proposition nonetheless
NUANCE CASTELETS – Missed out by the smallest of margins to NEWZIRA JOSSELYN (12) in a 2150m Enghien Class D 2.5 weeks ago, however she is unlikely to repeat
NIKITA – Yet to lose her maiden tag but is regularly in on the action. Returns to racing shod and, confirmed under these conditions, will have her supporters
NIKAIA PORT – Showed early promise before losing her way in early-winter. Has not been seen out since early-January and is unlikely to trouble the judge
NO LIMIT DELO – Returned to a more reasonable level early last month when 3rd in a 2700m Class A. Has no references under 2550m but has bags of ability and should not be far off the mark
NAFI DE REVE D’OR – Has won 3 of 4 so far, including over the inner course. Is unraced since early-January but sports hind pads for the first time and can get a look in if she takes to the new profile
NEWZIRA JOSSELYN – Convincing winner of a 2150m Enghien Class D 2.5 weeks ago, on first start for new trainer. Is new to the main track but with Franck Nivard reining, will be afforded every chance
NALA DE SMARVES – Makes Vincennes debut after running 2nd in a Cagnes Class A 3 weeks ago, but may just be taking on too much this time
NONEKA – Serious filly returning to a shorter trip after February’s re-entry elimination. Should not be too hastily-judged and can be backed with confidence this time. Chance
Summary: NORA D’ELCE (2) may just have 2 races under her belt but she has looked a thorough professional so far and, sporting hind pads for the first time, can make her main-track bow a winning one. Winner of 3 on the trot last year before being eliminated on re-entry here last month, NONEKA (14) will be no shrinking violet if she stays in stride. Unbeaten in 2, most recently over 2700m here, NEPTUNE CHANTE (6) will have her chances, as will the trickier NEWZIRA JOSSELYN (12) who returned to victorious ways at Enghien recently.
SELECTIONS
NORA D’ELCE (2) – NONEKA (14) – NEPTUNE CHANTE (6) – NEWZIRA JOSSELYN (12)
C7 – PRIX PENTHESILEA – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Gr3 – Harness – EUR € 70,000
NEMROD BUROIS – Got off the mark on 19 February in a Class C under these conditions, although the step up in category may be a step too far
NIKO DE TIMBOEUF – Honest colt that always gives what he has and is confirmed over the main track. In this company, however, will struggle to make his presence felt
NICE SPEED – Serious sort that ran 2nd to NOE DES BAUX (6) in a Class A over track and trip on 22 February. Showed remarkable tenacity that day and will be expected to play a leading role
NOVECENTO – Ran respectable 5th to NOE DES BAUX (6) in a Class A over track and trip on 22 February, however at this level may have too much to do
NOTABLE – Unbeaten in 2 starts with Eric Raffin, both of them at Vincennes. Faces a tougher task this time but is an improving colt with every chance of having his way
NOE DES BAUX – Has shown a liking for Vincennes, and the main track in particular. Got off the mark for 2026 when securing a Class A over track and trip on 22 February and should again find himself in the running
NOT THIS TIME – Black-type-winning colt that lost her action early in the Gr.1 Critérium des Jeunes after having imposed at Gr.3 level. Alexandre Abrivard in the bike this time and will be expected to put things right
NET MONEY – Complicated but has ample ability. Was a well-beaten 5th in Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson mid-February but at this level will be more competitive. Attention
NAT KING COLE – Makes first appearance since coming 2nd to NOT THIS TIME (7) in Gr.3 Prix Leopold Verroken here on 1 February. Has ground to make up but can still finish in first 5
Summary: A number of good future prospects lining up here and NOTABLE (5) is most certainly a case in point. Winner of his last 4, most recently a Class A over course and distance, he has buckets of untapped potential and can make it 5 on the trot. Already twice a winner this year, NICE SPEED (3) will be out to turn the tables on NOE DES BAUX (6) who had his measure last month, and he in turn may first have to see off Gr.3 Prix Leopold Verroken winner NOT THIS TIME (7) who was well-backed before being eliminated in the Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson.
SELECTIONS
NOTABLE (5) – NICE SPEED (3) – NOT THIS TIME (7) – NOE DES BAUX (6)
C8 – PRIX AMALTHEA – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 68,000
DOMENIK JET – Makes French debut following some lacklustre performances in Sweden and is unlikely to generate much interest
HOUSTON DE CUIGNY – Hardy sort that has produced some decent performances this term, but races shod this time and best to wait
SILVER BULLIT(SWE) – Has made no impact in 3 French starts this year and at this level will be well out of his comfort zone
HAIKIDO – Kicked the year off respectably but well-beaten in next 2. Has been reconfigured for the occasion but chances still limited
JERZINHO SPORT – Easy winner of a 2875m Class D on a waterlogged Enghien track on 13 March. Will be shod as he was that day and is unlikely to be far off the mark
HERMES D’ECROVILLE – Seldom gets his nose in front these days, but regularly gives his best. Defied his odds at Cagnes earlier in the month, however a repeat seems unlikely
GOLD D’ECROVILLE – Ran 2nd to HOMARD LAND (13) a month ago prior to his Caen conditioner. Paul Ploquin in the bike this time and in current condition is easy to like for a place in the frame
HALL BLACK MESS – Serious type that made amends for a pair of below-par efforts here when 2nd in a 2900m Amiens Gr.3 on 4 March. Front shoes off this time and, with his mind on the game, can play a prominent part
HAIDA SAUTONNE – Has struggled with form since imposing here 12 months ago, but has since changed stables. Makes just 2nd start for the Sassier yard but will have come on for Saturday’s run and cannot be discounted
INHERIT – Most impressive during the winter meeting but was well beaten in last 2 here. Has freshness on his side and it is just a question of time before he gets back down to business. Attention
HONEY KING – Not as sharp as he once was and was disappointing at Cagnes last time out. Has made no impact over the main track since winter 2024 and is not about to cause an upset
ICARE DU BERYL – Would have finished in the mix here on 22 February had he not been eliminated. Sports front pads following his Lyon-La Soie prep and should not be overlooked
HOMARD LAND – Dynamic winner of 2 straight runs over course and distance. Set his personal best time late last month and is going to take all the beating
GUERRIER CASTELETS – No slouch on a good day but rather disappointing in last 3 starts and will need to raise his game
NINEPOINTS LASSE – Made up for Gr.3 disappointment in January when 3rd of 12 in a 2100m Class C here on 22 February. Benefits from an excellent entry and looks a major player
IRON MESLOIS – Winner of a claimer over track and trip mid-February prior to being eliminated in an Amiens Gr.3 on 4 March, and will have few friends in the markets
Summary: Simply superb since switching back to his current configuration, HOMARD LAND (13) met no opposition in either of this year’s course-and-distance victories and, barring force majeure, should have this in the bag. Eric Raffin will still be wary of NINEPOINTS LASSE (15) who has placed in 2 of his last 3, and a reconfigured HALL BLACK MESS (8) who reassured in a GNT Gr.3 earlier this month. Barefoot again after having prepped smartly at Caen, GOLD D’ECROVILLE (7) must be taken seriously, as should JERZINHO SPORT (5) who earned the right to run here after flying up at Enghien 2 weeks ago.

R2 MARSEILLE-BORELY [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DE LA SANTOLINE – 3000m (a2m) – Class F – Harness – EUR € 18,000

MOLLY FLIGNY – Disqualified on debut at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2700m on 28 February. Capable of improvement but others are preferred
MA POUPEE D’AMOUR – Showed vast improvement when third in Class G at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2150m on 26 July. Returns from a break and could need this run
MIMI JELOCA – Only fair of late and finished 5th in Class G at Toulouse over 2750m on 20 March. Might play a minor role at very best
MY LADY GREEN – Showed what she is capable of with a victory in Class G at Hyeres over 2850m on 9 November. Returns from a break and could need this run
MIA FERM – Did not show her best when 13th in Class E over this course and distance on 20 March. Capable of contesting the finish
MAGDALENA – Probably needed her only run of the year when 14th in Class F over this track and trip on 20 March. Capable of improvement but others are preferred
MALICE BLEUE – Holding form and finished fourth in Class E at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2925m on 3 March. Can be a threat yet again
MELODIE FAVORITE – Clearly hard to trust but was runner-up in Class E at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2700m on 28 February. Can go one better if staying in stride
MY STAR HIGHLAND – Disqualified in both of her starts this year, the latest at Saint-Galmier over 2650m on 12 March. Capable of scoring when staying in stride
MUSE DE TERRAIL – A winner of two races last year, including last time out in Class F at Nimes over 2750m on 1 November. Returns from a break and could need this run
MOLLY DE VISAIS – Did not show her best when 6th in Class E at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2925m on 3 March. Can be competitive in this line-up
MELIA DE MONGOCHY – Needed her only run of the year when 7th in Class F at Feurs over 2850m on 8 March. Fitter now and is capable of an upset
Summary: It should be a very competitive finish in this opening event. MY STAR HIGHLAND (9) has had a couple of disqualifications of late but can bounce back to score if smart this time. MALICE BLEUE (7) continues to hold her form and should be a threat to these rivals. MIA FERM (5) disappointed many supporters last week but can contest the finish. MOLLY DE VISAIS (11) is another who is better than her last run would suggest and is not out of it.

C2 – PRIX SABLINE DE PROVENCE – 3000m (a2m) – Class F – Harness – EUR € 18,000
MISTER DE L’ETOILE – Has shown very little so far and was 11th in Class G at Caen over 2450m on 27 October. Returns from a break and could need the run
MERLIN DE MALAC – Disqualified last time out in Class F at Salon-de-Provence over 3000m on 30 November. Only modest on debut and could need this run returning from a break
MISSILE DU GOUTIER – Only modest so far and was 5th in Class F at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2925m on 25 January. Needs to do a bit more to score
MODIANO MAY – Probably needed the last run when 6th in Class G at Saint-Galmier over 2025m on 18 March. Has a place chance on best form
MAFIOSO DRY – A surprise winner last time out in Class F at Royan La Palmyre over 2475m on 27 July. Could make the frame returning from a break
MARSHALL GALAA – Needed the only run of this year when tenth in Class H at Paray-le-Monial over 2625m on 22 March. Barefoot this time and can contest the finish
MICHEL ANGE – Disqualified twice in a row, the latest in Class F at Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne over 2675m on 1 March. Remains barefoot and can score if staying in stride
MONT VENTOUX – Has disqualification issues and faulted last time out over this track and trip on 20 March. Barefoot this time and is capable of improvement. Place chance
MIEUXQUERIEN – Unreliable and finished 13th in Class E at Lyon-Parilly over 2850m on 27 October. Could need this run returning from a break
MON BEAU MEC – Yet to win a race but is in good shape and finished fourth in Class E at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2925m on 3 March. More is needed to beat these rivals
MADE IN BELLAY – Consistent and was runner-up in Class D at Agen-Le Passage over 2575m on 21 June. Returns from a break but can score if fit
MOGADOR BLEU – Disqualified twice in six starts, including last time out at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2700m on 16 January. Can be a threat if smart this time around
Summary: MADE IN BELLAY (11) has shown some ability and it would not be much of a surprise if she returns from a break and beats these rivals. MICHEL ANGE (7) has had a couple of faults of late but has run well for Théo Briand and can be a threat if staying in stride. MOGADOR BLEU (12) also has disqualification issues but is capable of scoring when smart. MAFIOSO DRY (5) showed improvement when victorious in July and could make the frame if fit enough.

JOKERO BELLO – Victorious in Class F at Marseille-Vivaux over 2650m on 13 January. Might need this run returning from a short break
IALKO VASANI – Finished 11th in Class G at Saint-Omer over 3175m on 12 October. Returns from a break and is likely to need this run
ILLA VILLA – Unreliable and was 5th in class G at Feurs over 2850m on 8 March. Might play a minor role at very best
ILTON BEAUREGARD – In good shape and finished 4th in class G over this course and distance on 13 March. Should be right there at the finish
JARNAC DE L’ITON – Did not show his best when 6th in class F over this track and trip on 13 March. Victorious back in February and can bounce back to score
JEOFFREY – Disappointing form of late and was 14th in class F over this course and distance on 13 March. Capable of a surprise on best form
JOKER DE BELLOU – Did not show his best when 10th in class E at this track over 2300m on 13 March. Unreliable and others are preferred
IVAN D’URZY – Not disgraced when 5th in class E at this track over 2300 on 13 March. Does better that shorter distance but can earn some money
JEEK D’ACADIE – Disqualified in class E at this course over 2300m on 13 March. On a long losing run but is capable of making the frame

BELLA AL SHAHANIA – Filly by Gazwan, the dam was unraced. Stable runners tend to improve for a run or two and she is best watched for the time being

Summary: AVEL DE KERBARH (2) was a good third at Auteuil in a handicap chase on his penultimate start in October and if emulating that effort he can be too smart for his rivals. His main threat could be GRAND CLERMONT (1), who scored in a claiming chase 12 days ago at Meslay-Du-Maine and will not lack for fitness.

Summary: ILLYADAME (11) has a taking profile and will be well schooled for her debut and she will be expected to score on debut. She can score from MONSIEUR EDDY (4), who is from a leading stable that does well with newcomers. FULL AMOUR (7) looks good on paper and is worth considering if the betting market speaks volumes. SERIAL WINNER (6) is out of a mare that won three times and is one to keep safe on debut.

LE LEGIONNAIRE – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 2000m at Pau on January 13th in a Class 2 race. Track winner in October over 1600m in a handicap. Hard to ignore
MATAURI QUEEN – Unplaced last time in late February, a win before that on the PSF on February 5th over 2100m in a handicap. Ought to be in the shake-up
LE FUTUR – Unplaced last time, a win before that over 2000m at Angers in a maiden race on November 16th. Among the leading chances
KITSUNE – Got off the mark over 2100m in a handicap at Pornichet on February 27th when last seen. Back on turf and others rate higher
LOVATREE PARIS – Two placed runs this year, 3rd on the most recent over track and trip in a maiden race on March 10th. Seems to run well at this track and can not be ruled out
AU DELA DES MERS – Fair 5th on his last run over 2000m at Pau in a maiden race on February 20th. Capable of winning a race of this nature
ESPRONCEDA – Four solid efforts of late, a 2nd at Pornichet over 2100m in a handicap on February 27th. Might need a few of these too smart
PAUL DE TARSE – Finished 3rd over 2350m in a maiden race at Machecoul on March 8th when last seen. Handicap debut and is worth considering
SCHIZZO – Several unplaced runs, the most recent over 2000m at Pau in a maiden race on November 13th. Look elsewhere
BEDAIO – Placed 3rd on his last two runs, the most recent over 2000m at Pau in a claiming race on February 23rd. Faces a stiff task
Summary: AU DELÀ DES MERS (6) has shown enough ability in maiden races to get off the mark on his handicap debut, having run well at this track late last year on his first two starts, and he could make the breakthrough here. He can edge out LE LÉGIONNAIRE (1), a previous course winner over 1600m in a handicap last October. LE FUTUR (3), who won on his penultimate start at Angers last November, is worth considering each-way, as is PAUL DE TARSE (8), who tries a handicap for the first time.

ELIOTT CHOP – Creditable 3rd over 2400m in a Class 4 handicap on the most recent start at toulouse on March 18th. Two wins at Agen before that in the Autumn last year. Player
Summary: MILORD DU LEMO (14) has been running well of late without success and could be rewarded for his consistency by returning to the winner’s circle. His main rival may be ORION ROCK (1), who must carry top weight but has been knocking on the door with two recent second-place finishes. LUCIO VERO (12) is one to include in all place-bet permutations, while ELIOTT CHOP (16) is another to consider from the foot of the weights.

REMBRAND TO GO (2) was behind the top choice last time out but finds himself 2kgs better off at the weights which could see him reduce the deficit. SEONA (1) has been running against better quality opponents and will relish the drop in company which should see him feature strongly.

Summary: KISSAKO (4) may have just needed her comeback run last time out and will strip a much fitter horse for this assignment which should see her take a significant step forward and can get the job done. ANIELSKA (9) found her best form to land the spoils and with her confidence boosted, she could repeat the dose. CARLSTON (16) has some consistent form to his name and should have every chance of getting involved again.

Summary: LAST SINN (2) has been close up in recent efforts this year and looks ready to notch up that second win. He has improvement to come and is one of the leading lights. VIANETA (4) arrives in excellent form having won twice from her last three and rates as a serious challenger. NEOWISE (13) gets weight off the back and has the right form to compete strongly in this event.
