  1. MONT DE SOLEIL – Fair 5th last time in a Listed race at this track on April 24th over 1600m. Useful performer who has the talent to score in this drop in class
  2. NAME LORD – Two 3rd place runs this year, the latter over 1850m in a Listed race at Koln (DEU) on May 25th. One to keep onside
  3. HERBAL – Won on debut at Compiegne over 1800m on May 9 by a narrow margin. Stiff task on his second start and others rate higher
  4. POSCHIAVO – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 2 race on April 10th. Can be on the premises
  5. JOHNNY HAMMER – Three unplaced efforts of late, the latter over 2000m at this track on May 10th in a Class 1 handicap. Might find this challenging
  6. PASHA AL GUNAY – Two tame efforts this year, the latter over 2000m in a Class 2 race at Strasbourg on May 27th. Out of form and others make more appeal
  7. CHAIN OF COMMAND – He has not featured on two runs this year, 9th on the latter over 2400m at Compiegne in a Class 2 race on May 9th. Looks vulnerable
  8. CLIMATE CHANGE – Finished 5th on the latest start over 2000m in a Listed race on March 21st at La Teste. Listed placed three times last year and can feature
    Summary: MONT DE SOLEIL (1) looks well placed to return to winning ways now dropping in class after facing much stronger opposition in recent starts. The ease in grade could prove decisive. CLIMATE CHANGE (8) is expected to improve for his recent outing in a Listed race at La Teste in late March and rates as the main danger. NAME LORD (2) has been running consistently well, including a creditable third in a Listed contest in Germany, and should be competitive. POSCHIAVO (4) also has enough ability to be involved.

  9. MY EDEN JAMES – Finished 4th last time over 2400m at Compiegne in a Class 4 race on May 25th. Unlikely to be a threat
  10. MAC EMERY – He has been placed on two of the three runs this year, 3rd on the most recent over 2400m at Saint-Brieuc in a Class 4 race. Each-way claims
  11. LADY AGATA – Two solid 2nd place runs of late, the latter over 2500m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on May 24th. Live contender
  12. GRISE D’AZUR PELEM – Finished 3rd last time over 2200m at Rostrenen in a Class 4 race on May 23rd. Needs to show more consistency
  13. OVER THE CLOUDS – Ran well to be 3rd last time over 2500m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on May 24th. Ought to be in the shake-up
  14. NICK BOUTIQUE – Unplaced last time, 4th previously over 2000m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on April 22nd. One to keep onside
  15. BOUSSANT – Placed 4th on two of three runs this year, the latter over 2500m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on May 24th. Hard to rule out
  16. MYRIADE MAG – Two unplaced efforts of late, the latter over 3000m at Le Lion D’Angers on May 7th in a Class 3 handicap. Hard to recommend
  17. SPRING BANK – Placed 3rd on the latest outing over 2900m at Royan in a conditions race on May 8th. Might find this challenging
  18. ARISTOS – Two unplaced runs since a win at Saint-Cloud over 2400m in a Class 3 handicap on April 10th. Capable of being in the shake-up
  19. ULTRASPI – Placed 3rd last time over 2500m in a Class 3 handicap at this track on May 24th. Among the leading each-way options
  20. CHOEUR DES ANGES – Two unplaced runs of late, 5th on the latter over 2400m at La Roche-Posay on May 17th in a conditions race. Warrants respect
  21. MENLINK DU CHABOIS – Unplaced on both runs this year, well beaten over 2560m in a conditions race at Chateaubriant on May 5th. Looks vulnerable
  22. BEST OF – Three unplaced runs of late, 6th on the most recent over 2400m at Dieppe in a Class 3 handicap on May 16th. Has to get back on track
    Summary: LADY AGATA (3) has been second on her latest two runs, the latter at this track over 2500m in a competitive Class 3 handicap. She can get a deserved success. Her main rival could be BOUSSANT (7), who was back in fourth in the same race as the selection when they met on May 24th. ULTRASPI (11) has solid claims each way having ran well at this track when third late last month. NICK BOUTIQUE (6) completes the shortlist.
    SELECTIONS
    LADY AGATA (3) – BOUSSANT (7) – ULTRASPI (11) – NICK BOUTIQUE (6)
    C3 – PRIX DE CHAVILLE – 2100m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14,600
  23. COGOLIN – Recent success over 2000m in a Class 4 handicap at Nancy on May 20th. This will be more of a challenge
  24. KALAFA – Two good efforts of late over 2100m at this track in Class 4 races, the latter when scoring on May 14th. Key chance
  25. SEE THE LIGHT – Fair 5th last time, 2nd previously over 1900m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on April 28th. Can be on the premises
  26. EMBIEZ – Two decent runs of late, a win two runs back in a Class 4 race at Lyon Parilly on April 29th and a 3rd at Chantilly on May 12th. Among the leading chances
  27. DRUIDE – Ran well to be 2nd over 2100m at this track in a Class 4 race behind KALAFA (2) on May 14th. One to pay attention to
  28. DARNETAL – Below par last time on May 24th, 2nd before that over 2000m in a Class 4 race at this track on April 30th. Place contender
  29. CHRISTINE – Two unplaced runs this year, well beaten over 1900m in a Class 3 handicap at Deauville on February 7th. Faces a stiff task
  30. SASKIA DES PLACES – Ran well to be 2nd on the latest start over 2400m in a Class 4 race at Saint-Brieuc on May 14th. This needs more to be competitive
  31. RAJMAMAILLE – Four unplaced runs of late, 7th at this track over 2000m in a Class 4 race on May 24th last time. Capable of a better performance
  32. LA BONITA – Two below par runs since a 4th at Deauville over 1900m in a Class 3 handicap on April 7th. Not the most reliable
    Summary: KALAFA (2) comes into the race in excellent form after two strong performances at this venue, including a Class 4 victory over 2100m on May 14. She looks capable of following up and can again get the better of DRUIDE (5), who finished second to her when they met here just over three weeks ago. RAJMAMAILLE (9) is better than her recent results suggest and has the ability to bounce back. EMBIEZ (4), a winner at Lyon-Parilly two starts ago, is another who warrants respect.

    KALAFA (2) – DRUIDE (5) – RAJMAMAILLE (9) – EMBIEZ (4)
    C4 – PRIX DE PICPUS – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 26,900
  33. GALICE – Placed on three of her four runs, 4th on the latter over 1400m in a handicap at this track on May 21st. Lightly raced and has more to come
  34. MISS DE PANAME – She won last year in September at Saint-Cloud in a maiden over 1200m and has been unplaced on her four runs since that success. She can bounce back after a recent unplaced effort over the track and trip on May 21. Player
  35. NAY – Unplaced last time over 1400m in a handicap over the track and trip, 4th before that over 1500m on the PSF on February 16th in a Class 2 race. Has to be respected
  36. ROI TREZY – Did not feature last time, 3rd previously over this track and trip in a handicap on April 26th. Capable if in the mood of being involved
  37. NASHOBA – Two unplaced efforts since a win over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on April 10th in a claiming race. One to consider each-way
  38. REMENBER CHOPE – Two unplaced efforts of late, the latter over 1400m at Chantilly in a handicap on March 16th. Unlikely to trouble the principles
  39. BLANC CARAT – Creditable 3rd on his latest start at this track over 1400m in a handicap on May 21st. Capable of making the frame
  40. DON SAINT ROCK – Three runs so far, 5th on the latter over 1400m at Saint- Cloud in a maiden race on March 10th. Handicap debut and can make the top-three
  41. SANTA LUZIA – Unplaced last time, a win before that over 1550m in a handicap at Strasbourg on May 8th. Others seem better equipped
  42. NEW YORK MELODY – Recent 5th at Compiegne in a maiden race on May 20th over 1400m. Seems reasonably well handicapped and can be involved
  43. SKY DREAM – She has been 4th on her last two runs, the latter over 1400m at Niort in a maiden race on May 17th. Ought to be thereabouts
  44. FLOWER CELEBRATION – Tad below par last time, 3rd before that over 1200m at Durtal in a maiden race on March 22nd. Might find a few too smart
  45. WHY AM I BEAUTIFUL – Placed 3rd on her latest start over 1400m at this track on May 10th. Still seeking her first win and has place claims at best
  46. DOLLAR DES BOIS – Two placed runs recently, 2nd over this track and trip on the latter on May 10th. One to pay attention to
    Summary: MISS DE PANAME (2) is given another chance after facing stronger opposition since her victory at Saint-Cloud last September. Back in more suitable company, she can return to winning ways. NEW YORK MELODY (10) appeals as the main threat following a respectable fifth-place finish in a maiden at Compiègne late last month. DON SAINT ROCK (8) is an interesting contender on his handicap debut and looks capable of making the frame, while BLANC CARAT (7) also merits consideration in an open contest.

  47. ON Y CROIT – Finished 5th on the latest start over 1600m at Royan in a Class 4 race on May 14th. One to consider and can make the frame
  48. EVER FAST – Ran well to be 3rd over 1600m at this track in a Class 4 race on May 28th. Hold leading claims and can not be overlooked
  49. DAVALLIA – Unplaced last time on May 11th, 4th previously over 1400m in a Class 4 claimer at Le Lion D’Angers on April 20th. Player
  50. ROYAL SHAKE – Fair 5th last time at this track in a Class 4 race over 1600m on May 26th. Drops in class and a competitive effort expected
  51. ANOTHERMINE – Three below par efforts of late, the latter over 1400m in a Class 4 race on May 19th at Chantilly. Hard to recommend
  52. ALYAQUT – Two unplaced efforts since a 4th at Argentan on April in a Class 4 race over 1300m. Ought to be in the shake-up
  53. IPSO FACTO – Three runs out of the frame since a win over 1400m at Fontainebleau in a conditions race on March 17th. Look elsewhere
  54. WILD WEST – Unplaced last time, 2nd previously over 1600m at Nantes on May 11th in a Class 4 handicap. Hard to be enthusiastic about
  55. VICTORY SALUTE – Out of form with numerous unplaced runs recently, well beaten at Chantilly in a Class 3 race over 1200m last time on May 31st. Looks safely held
  56. GRIGNETTE – Unplaced last time, a win before that over 1400m in a Class 4 race at this track on May 21st. Place chance at best
  57. SIGNORA BELLISSIMA – Recent success over 1600m at this track in a Class 4 race on May 28th. Among the leading each-way chances
  58. IDEE DE CHEVAL – Placed 4th on the most recent start over 1400m at Chantilly in a Class 4 race on May 19th. Needs to produce more to feature
  59. ANTICO – He has not featured in his last three runs, in the rear at Chantilly over 1900m in a Class 3 handicap on May 19th. Can be passed over
    Summary: ROYAL SHAKE (4) ran well enough at this track when fifth late last month in a Class 4 race and the drop in class looks like a positive move. He can score at the expense of DAVALLIA (3), who was fourth on her penultimate start in a claimer at Le Lion D’Angers in late April. ALYAQUT (6) needs to be considered strongly each way, as does EVER FAST (2), who ran well to be third at this track on May 28th in a Class 4 event.

    C6 – PRIX DU BEL AIR – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 52,800
  60. TORNADO ALLEY – Won two of his last three runs, the latest success over 1400m at this track in a handicap on April 26th. Hard to ignore
  61. MICHAEL THE GREAT – Out of form with three unplaced efforts this year, the most recent over this track and trip on May 21st . Needs to bounce back to form
  62. ASPIRE – Won nicely over 1400m in a handicap at this track on May 21st. Lightly raced filly who may have a bit more to come
  63. SAINT SAENS – Four consistent efforts this year, 3rd on the latter over this track and trip on May 21st. One to pay close attention to
  64. BASANTI – Two nice runs of late, 3rd on the most recent over 1400m at this track on May 21st. Merits attention each-way
  65. NELLIEDONADO – Creditable 6th last time over the track and trip on May 21st and a track and trip win before that on April 26th in a handicap. Enters claculations
  66. TISSIMO – Three unplaced runs this year, the latter over this track and trip in a handicap on May 21st. Capable of a better performance
  67. MERLE – Placed 4th on the last two runs, the most recent at Dax over 1400m in a handicap on May 18th. Hard to fancy
  68. MELUSINE DU HOULEY – Ran well to be 2nd last time over 1400m at this track in a handicap on May 21st. Solid contender and can not be ignored
  69. INDY B – She has been 4th on her last run over 1200m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 2 race on May 22nd. Outside place contender
  70. SPIRITO – Recent success over this track and trip in a handicap on May 10th. Stiffer challenge under a penalty but can not be discounted
  71. PALLADIO – He has been 5th on the last two runs, the latter over this track and trip in a handicap on May 21st. Has work ahead
  72. ROZARION – He has been placed on his last four runs, the last three when 2nd, the latter of them over 1400m in a handicap at this track on April 26th. Key chance
  73. ADONIDE – Unplaced last time, 3rd previously over 1400m at Saint-Cloud in a maiden race on May 5th. She might find this difficult
  74. GOUTTES DE DIEU – Two below par runs of late, 4th before that over 1200m at Chantilly in a handicap on April 2nd. Look for an alternative
  75. SELENITE – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1400m in a handicap at this track on April 26th. Unlikely to trouble the main protagonists
    Summary: ROZARION (13) has been knocking on the door with three consecutive runner-up finishes and looks ready to gain a deserved victory. A favourable draw in stall 1 only strengthens his claims in what appears a suitable opportunity. MELUSINE DU HOULEY (9) rates as the main danger after finishing a strong second over this course and distance in a handicap three weeks ago. TORNADO ALLEY (1) remains a solid each-way contender despite carrying top weight, while the consistent SAINT SAENS (4) should once again be competitive. TISSIMO (7) completes the shortlist and is capable of making his presence felt.

    C7 – PRIX DU CHATEAU DE VANVES – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 3 Claiming – Flat – EUR € 18,200
  76. VADIRUM – Placed 4th on the most recent over 2150m in a Class 4 race at Lyon La Soie and a win before that at Deauville on Janaury 23rd. Player
  77. DREAMS – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 2400m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a Class 3 handicap on February 24th. Look for an alternative
  78. EDIBEST FAL – Two below par runs since a win over 2400m at Pornichet on February 5th in a Class 4 handicap. Might find a few too smart
  79. TRABUCO – Two unplaced runs this year, 9th on the latter over 2650m at Chateaubriant on May 24th in a Class 2 race. Can get back on track
  80. KAMAKURA ONE – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3100m on the PSF in a Class 3 handicap on February 18th. Looks vulnerable
  81. WILLY WINNER – Finished 7th on his last start over 1800m at Evreux in a Class 4 race on May 26th. Capable of making his presence felt
  82. COMBERMERE – Placed 4th on his last run over 2100m at this track in a Class 4 race on May 14th. Has work to do to be involved
  83. KING OF EYLAU – Unplaced last time, won before that over 2600m at Savenay in a Class 4 race on May 3rd. One to keep onside
  84. LE ROI LEON – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2000m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 race on April 24th. Top-four chance
  85. HOLLYWOOD AFRICANS – Placed 3rd on the latest start over 2600m at Marseille Borely on May 6th in a Class 4 race. Ought to be in the shake-up
  86. RAIATEA – Yet to win in 19 runs, 8th on her latest start at Le Lion D’Angers in a Class 4 handicap on May 14th. Not the most reliable
  87. GALIA CI – Four unplaced runs, well beaten over 2400m at this track on May 7th in a Class 3 handicap. Hard to recommend
    Summary: TRABUCO (4) is worth another chance despite two unplaced efforts this year. He has shown better form than those recent results suggest and can bounce back, having last been seen in a Class 2 contest at Châteaubriant on May 24. VADIRUM (1) rates as the principal danger after scoring at Deauville two starts ago and is capable of mounting a serious challenge. HOLLYWOOD AFRICANS (10) appeals as a solid each-way proposition, while WILLY WINNER (6) also holds claims and completes the shortlist.

    C8 – PRIX DE L’ETANG DE BOULOGNE – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 3 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 19,200
  88. TWIN DOVER – Four unplaced runs this year, 8th on the latter over 2500m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on May 24th. Won in November last year and enters each way calculations
  89. GREYMARA – Ran well to be 3rd last time over 2600m at Savenay in a Class 4 race on May 24th. Ought to be on the premises
  90. GOLDEN VALE – She has been out of sorts with several unplaced performances, in the rear division over 1800m at Compiegne in a Class 4 handicap on May 25th. Can be avoided
  91. LA ROSE NOIRE – Good effort to be 2nd on her sole start this year over 1950m at Chateaubriant on May 24th in a conditions race. Player
  92. MITCHI – She has failed to trouble the judge in five runs, the latter when 6th at Rostrenen on May 23rd in a Class 4 race. Hardly inspiring
  93. BRIVIDO MOON – Three unplaced runs this year, 9th at Chateaubriant in a conditions race on May 5th over 2650m when last seen. Needs to get back on track
  94. LOOK OF CECCA – Out of form with numerous unplaced runs, well beaten over 1900m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on May 4th last time out. Look elsewhere
  95. MAGIC MIDGREY – Has not been involved in four runs, not in the race over 2500m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on May 24th. Lacks talent and is best to avoid
  96. QUI EVIDAMENT QUI – Two tame efforts this year, made no show at Le Lion D’Angers in a Class 4 handicap on June 5th over 2000m. Ungenuine and is one to steer clear of
  97. SECULIER – Three unplaced runs since a 2nd over 2600m at Fontainebleau on March 13th in a Class 3 handicap. Can be on the premises
  98. BORCANO – Several unplaced efforts of late, he was 7th at Koln (DEU) in a conditions race on May 25th when last seen. Place contender
  99. PRAY FOR HOPE – Fair 6th last time on May 25th, and a win before that over 2600m at Marseille Borely in a Class 4 handicap on May 8th. One to pay close attention to
  100. VOLT – Placed 4th on his last run over 2600m at Vitteaux in a Class 4 race on May 24th. Yet to win and can be opposed
    Summary: LA ROSE NOIRE (4) ran well to be second at Chateaubriant late in May in a conditions race on her only start this year. She will be sharper for that run and is preferred ahead of PRAY FOR HOPE (12) , who won at Marseille Borely two runs back and was far from disgraced on her latest start when sixth on May 25th. GREYMARA (2) could be a sensible option for the each-way enthusiasts after a pleasing third at Savenay 18 days ago. BORCANO (11) is also worth a mention.

    R2 AMIENS [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DU CONSERVATOIRE D’AMIENS – 2400m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Mounted – EUR € 20,000

  1. MY WAY ROBSEN – Kept to harness races so far and he has been disqualified in his last two starts, the latest at Le Touquet over 2600m on 24 May. Needs major improvement trying a mounted race
  2. MOSCARO – Has kept to harness races so far and was 5th in Class G at Saint-Omer over 2625m on 31 May. Capable of improvement trying a mounted race
  3. MALICIEUSE D’EYMY – Showed vast improvement when runner-up in a Class F mounted race at Nort-sur-Erdre over 2400m on 31 May. Has disqualification issues but is not out of it
  4. MANU D’HUCHELOUP – Successful in a Class F mounted race at Elbeuf over 2750m on 17 May. Barefoot this time and could make some money
  5. MACCHIATO ABSOLUTE – Not reliable but finished fourth in a harness claimer at Châlons-en-Champagne over 2625m on 24 May. Might play a minor role back in a mounted race
  6. MILTON ELLIS – Holding form and finished fourth in a Class F mounted race at Graignes over 2700m on 6 June. Has a place chance on best form
  7. MEDICIS DU BOCAGE – Has only been fair of late and finished fifth in a Class F mounted race at Reims over 2550m on 31 May. Has won a mounted race this year and is capable of an upset
  8. MEANDRE – Not disgraced when fourth in a Class F mounted race at Reims over 2550m on 31 May. Can be a threat to these rivals
  9. MARILOU D’ERI – Finished fifth in a Class F harness race at Bernay over 2800m on 31 May. Did win a mounted race before that and can make the frame
  10. MISS VITARDERIE – Yet to win a race but was runner-up in a Class F mounted race at Reims over 2550m on 31 May. Can go one place better
  11. MAYOTTE – Not reliable but was fourth in a Class E mounted race at La Capelle over 2750m on 3 May. Can get into the mix of things once again
  12. MAGIE DE GUIBRAY – Did not show his best when 7th in a Class D mounted race at Enghien over 2875m on 26 October. Returns from a break but could be a threat if fit enough
  13. MAGIC DE TILLARD – Did not show his best when 13th in a Class E harness race at Caen over 2450m on 16 May. Tries a mounted race and can contest the finish
    Summary: MISS VITARDERIE (10) has shown a liking for this discipline and, at her best, looks capable of opening her account. She is taken to play a leading role, although MAGIE DE GUIBRAY (12) commands plenty of respect on the strength of some smart previous form. Fitted with a lighter shoeing arrangement on his return, she is likely to have been well prepared for this assignment.
    MAYOTTE (11) caught the eye when finishing a solid fourth at Reims in early May and another bold showing would come as no surprise. MAGIC DE TILLARD (13) is an intriguing runner making his ridden debut and is worth keeping firmly on side in the betting.

  16. NAPOLI DE GODREL – Disqualified twice in a row, the latest in a harness race at Reims over 2550m on 31 May. Capable of making the frame if staying in stride
  17. NANOUCHETTE – Not reliable and finished 6th in Class F at Reims over 2550m on 31 May. Has a place chance on best form
  18. NOCTALI JIEL – Has some fair form and finished 5th in Class F at La Capelle over 2750m on 24 May. Can earn some money

  22. NECTAR TRANSEEN – In good shape and was third in Class F at Les Sables-d’Olonne over 2775m on 2 June. Should fight out the finish
  23. NABUCCO PLANCHETTE – A runner-up on debut in Class G at Le Neubourg over 2200m on 24 May. Can get involved with the finish
  24. NINA DU COJEUL – Disqualified last time out at Le Croisé-Laroche over 2700m on 20 May. Might play a minor role at very best
  25. NOUCHKA ROYALE – Yet to win a race and finished fourth in Class G at Elbeuf over 2750m on 17 May. Could play a minor role
    Summary: NAYKO DE LA CRIERE (7) made a striking impression when scoring with authority on debut. The manner of that success suggests there could be plenty more to come. NECTAR TRANSEEN (9) has been progressing steadily with each run and now benefits from the assistance of a leading driver. He is expected to mount a serious challenge. NABUCCO PLANCHETTE (10) also warrants close consideration. Racing fully shod off for this assignment, he could find further improvement. NAPOLI DE GODREL (3) remains a player if able to keep his manners in check.

  28. MODE CATZ – Unreliable and finished 8th in a Class F at Savenay over 2600m on 24 May. Was successful before that and could upset

  36. MAGNIFIK BOSDARROS – Showed some improvement when 4th in a Class F at this track over 2400m on 21 May. Not easy to trust but has a place chance
  37. MADOVA DU RILER – Disqualified at Reims on 25 May. Unreliable and probably needs to find a few lengths to beat these rivals
    Summary: MYSTIC LYL (7) has done little wrong since making her debut and looks the most solid proposition in a race lacking standout certainties. MELODIE DU LILAS (5) arrives on the back of two disappointing efforts, but she remains capable of bouncing back if able to secure an early lead and dictate matters. MINOUCHE ERCA (10) has been heading in the right direction and her recent progress suggests she is capable of making the frame. MICKAELLA (8) is also worthy of consideration. Having now had two runs under her belt this year, she should be nearing peak fitness.

  49. MY MILLION D’ANSY – Victorious in a Class F at Mont-Saint-Michel over 2675m on 25 May. Back to best and could follow up
    Summary: MY MILLION D’ANSY (12) appears to be back to his best and is expected to play a leading role in what looks a competitive affair. Chief among his rivals is MONTY BOY (10), who arrives in good heart after recording two consecutive runner-up finishes, one of them over this very course and distance. MARACANA DU VIVIER (9) has been carefully campaigned since making a winning return in April and could have more to offer. MY KLY ERA (8) failed to fire on his seasonal reappearance, but that effort is best forgiven. He is entitled to come on significantly for the run and remains a contender on his previous form.

    Summary: Trainer Stéphane Provoost could hold a particularly strong hand in this contest with both KING KONG DANOVER (12) and KALMIA DES NOES (9). The former made an immediate impact when winning on his ridden debut and looks capable of following up, while the latter arrives in excellent form after an authoritative success on the turf at Loudéac. KANARDO FOR CLARA (7) is not the easiest horse to trust, but his ability is beyond doubt. KADOR DELO (10) should be competitive if reproducing his best form.

    Summary: LITTLE ROAD (7) faces a less-than-ideal draw on the outside, but she created a favourable impression when scoring over this course and distance last time. If able to overcome her starting position, she can follow up. LOVE WITH YOU (3) also commands plenty of respect after registering a victory just ten days ago. LADY VICTORY (4) possesses plenty of natural speed and has the profile of a filly capable of making her presence felt. LUTTE IMPERIALE (6) is another to consider. She has shown an affinity for this starting method and her consistency in similar conditions suggests she can play a big role.

    Summary: A competitive and open-looking contest where preference is given to those drawn on the front row, headed by LARGO D’ENFER (5), who looks attractively treated on earnings and returns to a track he particularly likes. LUPIN DU RIB (6) is another major player. Racing barefoot under what appears an ideal entry, he has the credentials to mount a serious challenge. LESTER DU CHERISAY (7) comes into the race on the back of a recent victory, but his profile suggests a degree of caution remains advisable. LEADER DE L’ITON (3) rarely runs a bad race and must have a chance too.

    Summary: IDAO NAY (9) produced a creditable effort in defeat at Vichy and looks well placed to go one better this time. ITONO DE MILLAC (6) is operating at the top of his game and is expected to provide the principal opposition. IZIASLAV TEK (4) also enters calculations after a convincing success on the grass at Ecommoy at the end of May. INEDIT DU PAVILLON (12) can be difficult to predict from one run to the next, but the race conditions appear particularly favourable on this occasion.

  1. SPAREO – Unbeaten sort who won over 1400m in Doha, Qatar on the 25th of April 2026. He gets the services of top rider Mikael Barzalona and is the one to beat
  2. NEHMO DE CARRERE – Winner over 1600m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a conditional event on the 5th of May 2026. Can remain unbeaten
  3. MADISON BOY – Finished 3rd over 1500m at Tarbes in a conditional event on the 17th of April 2026. Far more is needed to feature
  4. SHAHALLEL – Dam was a maiden and this filly comes up against some useful sorts on debut but shouldn’t be disgraced. Place claims at best

    Summary: SPAREO (1) has ticked a lot of boxes so far and looks to be a fair sort in the making. He makes his French debut and there is every reason to believe that he can make it 3-3. NEHMO DE CARRERE (2) showed plenty of heart to win on debut and demands the utmost of respect here. NASSIMA D’HEM (5) was just edged out by the second choice and should be bang there at the finish. SHAHALLEL (4) is best of the rest and will be looking for a minor position.

    Summary: CURRAGH CAMP (6) was tested at a far stronger level last time out and just failed to shape up. He drops in class and looks to be perfectly placed to notch up that next win. He has all the right form to his name and rates the one to beat. KOVEL (4) is holding steady form and should have a say in the outcome. CHICA DE CIUDAD (3) last won in August of 2025 but hasn’t been disgraced against a bit stronger and can feature. APAX (5) is best of the rest and can earn.

  20. IVAWAI – Dam won over 2000m and this newcomer will need to be special to get the job done first up. One to pass by
    Summary: BRAIDA (4) produced an excellent finish on debut and can only build on that now as a 3yo. Fitness will need to be taken on trust but with Mikael Barzalona in the irons, it’s hard to look past him. VIOLET LEDUC (1) has the right form to his name and is threatening for that maiden win. He could pick up the pieces should the top choice come up for air over the final bit. BASHA (7) is the unknown quantity here and can make his presence felt first up. CIAO NENE (3) is held on form but can fill out a minor cheque.

    Summary: MELBORA (2) returned to best form with a pleasing victory and with her confidence restored, she should be the one that they need to beat. DENISJONH (8) ran a much better race last time out albeit well beaten but he can step forward on that to feature strongly. GEORGES VILLE (6) hasn’t been too far off the action in recent outings despite his form not reading well and he can have a say here. KHELONYX (5) has dropped quite a bit in the ratings and should be able to run a far better race off his current mark.

  42. PELERIN – A three-year-old gelding by The Grey Gatsby out of Loutka who is making his debut. His sister won a Listed race. Can be a threat
    Summary: Ledesma (6) has shaped well on both starts and, having been a late withdrawal last week, now finds a good opportunity so shuould get off the mark this distance. Finepal Fal (2) was only beaten by a well-handicapped rival at Bordeaux on 23 May and should go well again. A half-brother to the high-class Place Fontenoy, newcomer Pelerin (12) commands respect, as does his improving stablemate Mister Clarck (3).

    Summary: La Portugaise (9) ran a very good race at Vichy last time, having forced the pace, and already has solid form over this track. She gets the nod. Maple Girl (8) finished ahead of her on that occasion and, in peak form, should once again give a good account, although she would be better suited by softer ground. Lily Ofthe Kingdon (4), back to her best, has her supporters, while Marquise Vera (11) also enters calculations at this level.

    Summary: Zaster For All (11) ran a solid third in the key reference race at Toulouse on 21 May. Having been held up for much of the contest he should make a bold bid at victory. The main danger looks to be New Ball (2), an easy winner last time at Pompadour. Both in good form and proven at this level, the Jean-Pierre Van den Heede runners Rising Up (8) and Sissi Imperatrice (9) can also make their presence felt.

    Summary: Hola Valquiria (10) caught the eye with a pleasing late effort on her return and has the ability to take this lucky last race. Gris de Perles (8) shaped better than the bare result last time out and should also be in the mix of things once again. Myboyfriend (4) comes here off a solid third and is one of the leading contenders, along with Alphabia (9), who has shown clear signs of a return to form.

    Summary: MON PRESTIGE NEMO (13) returns from a break but catches the eye racing barefoot for the occasion. He looks more than capable of landing a contest of this nature and is taken to make a winning comeback. The main threats may come from a trio of recent winners. MAXIMUS DU FAOUET (16) is particularly well treated under the conditions and commands obvious respect despite his wide draw. MANOUCHE (10) is another to consider, especially with Alexis Collette back in the sulky. The progressive MYTHIQUE GEMA (8) continues to head in the right direction and remains open to further improvement.

    Summary: A closely matched contest where several runners make appeal, and little separates the leading contenders. LUCRECE DE CORDAY (12) is arguably the most talented in the field, but her chances will hinge on her ability to remain focused throughout. LIGNE BLANCHE (13) returns to the scene of her latest victory and that familiarity could prove a significant asset. LEA GIBUS (7) could prove difficult to reel in if allowed to dictate the tempo on her own terms. LICORNVERASPERANZA (11) has been showing encouraging signs in recent outings and appears to be heading in the right direction.

    Summary: LOOK PEJI (3) is given the vote to turn the tables on LEONARD DE VINCI (12) after being narrowly denied by that rival at Saint-Malo last time. Significantly, he races with front shoes removed for the first time, a change that could unlock further improvement and help him gain revenge.
    LEONARD DE VINCI (12) arrives in excellent heart following that recent success and is unlikely to surrender without a fight. LYNX DU RUISSEAU (9) demands considerable respect. He has been faultless when partnered by Matthieu Abrivard and his consistency makes him a serious contender too.

    Summary: A wide-open affair brings together several runners with strong claims. Recent winner KOVES DU PONT (5) is an obvious starting point after showing his well-being and is entitled to remain competitive despite stronger opposition. KASSIOPEE WIND (8) should strip much fitter for her recent comeback run and is expected to show significant improvement. KRACKER PIYA (3) has been progressing steadily in recent starts and another step forward would put him firmly in the mix. KHARNAS (9) is also worth another chance, as his latest effort is best overlooked.

KNOCK OUT (12) has been knocking on the door in recent outings and deserves to get his head in front again before long. KANT (8) is another who catches the eye. His recent performances suggest he is steadily working his way back to peak form. KOZMIC BLUES (4) arrives at the top of his game and cannot be overlooked.

    Summary: MILADY (8) continues to thrive and appears as a leading contender in this competitive contest. With her confidence high and recent performances on an upward curve, she is taken to play a major role. MAZEL LOVE (13) also commands plenty of respect. Racing barefoot once again, she is expected to be seen to best effect. MISS MOUROTAISE (15) has been knocking on the door and looks overdue a return to the winner’s enclosure. The unpredictable MACARENA (3) is not one to dismiss lightly. Although disqualified at Pontchâteau, she subsequently advertised her well-being and clearly remains in good form.

    Summary: NOW I’M HERE (11) made the perfect start to her career when scoring on debut and is likely to have plenty more to offer. NUTTY DREAM (6) is another with obvious credentials, provided she can maintain her gait throughout. NOBLIA (3) is better than she showed when disappointing over this course last month. That effort is difficult to explain and, judged on her previous form, she deserves another chance. NOCCIOLINA (12) has been edging closer to a breakthrough success and appears ready to strike.
