   Summary: HOMERE (5) has only had three outings to date but looks to be a promising sort in the making and should love the drop in class. He rates the one to beat. DANDY STYLE (1) is in solid consistent form and has all the right form figures to win a race of this nature. ETCHEBASTER (8) has held useful form since that maiden win and has a lot more to offer so should be a big challenger. PAS DANSANT (2) got a confidence boosting win last time out and is capable of placing.

11. NO TIME – Failed to feature in 12th over 1550m at Strasbourg in a Class 4 divided handicap on the 27th of May 2026. A lot better than latest and could pop up
12. UMAMI – Solid run in 4th over 1400m at Compiegne in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 5th of June 2026. Winning chance

22. D DAY MAN – Finished 3rd over 2000m at Chatillon-Sur-Chalaronne in a Class 4 course qualifier on the 8th of June 2026. Should be in the shake up
    Summary: UMAMI (4) has dropped steadily in the ratings and showed marked improvement last time out. She just needs to step forward on her latest outing and she will go very close to getting that next career win. D DAY MAN (14) is racing in steady form at present and ticks a lot of boxes here. He should have a say in the outcome. AUTUMN TWILIGHT (9) is ideally drawn and is capable of running a big race with Maxime Guyon sticking with the ride. THE CHARM (7) hasn’t fired up recently and if on song then he can be competitive.

    Summary: SYNARAN (9) is in top form at present and looks to be a very progressive sort. He was just outgunned last time out but will be better for that experience and can land the spoils. SILIUS (7) was second best last time out behind a Group 1 horse and he will be more at home in this contest. He will be a big challenger. KHOVIKHOV (8) bit off more than he could chew last time out and should be far more competitive in this event. DARK TROOPER (6) has pleasing international form to his name and can be a threat.

JIJI MY LOVE (9) has been in excellent form this season and continues catch the eye. She is ideally placed for another potential tilt at victory. IRIDIA (2) is far better than her latest effort and can show a form return in this event. NOBLE COTAI (5) didn’t particularly shine last time out but can produce an effort that should see him featuring.

46. BATESCA – Not reliable and finished 7th in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over 1400m on 29 May. Might play a minor role at very best
47. THALIA – In good shape and was third at Baden-Baden over 1600m on 7 June. Can be competitive once again and must be respected

52. TERANGA – Has struggled of late and was unplaced in a handicap over this track and trip on 7 June. Others are preferred
53. CALIFANO – Did not show his best when fifth in a Hhandicap at Saint-Cloud over 1400m on 29 May. Capable of doing better and is not out of it
54. WITH ZEST – Only modest of late and finished 6th in a class 4 Conditions race over this track and trip on 21 May. More is needed to score

59. THE CAT’S – In good form and finished third in a handicap at Evreux over 1200m on 26 May. Can earn some minor money
    Summary: MISTER JULES (3) made a winning start in handicaps over this trip and may have found his ideal conditions. There is little to fault with CALIFANO (8) this year and he should be involved at the finish. GRECIAN RULER (12) is coming along nicely in terms of fitness and now has the assistance of Maxime Guyon and this could be his day. In form, THALIA (2) and ETRE (6) will be aiming to shed their maiden tags.

68. ROI DU CIEL – Unrreliable and was unplaced in a handicap at Compiegne over 2000m on 5 June. Capable of doing better and is not out of it
    Summary: Surprises are likely in this second division. The ground will be less testing than at Compiègne for MARYCHA (1), but the step up in trip could compensate. FIRST LADY STAR (6) endured all sorts of trouble at the track and her stamina is not in question. Not the luckiest last time out, ROI DU CIEL (9) can take advantage of his favourable position at the bottom of the weights. With Cristian Demuro aboard, SYLVEROY (2) could prove to be a danger.

82. VALLOIRE – In good form and was third in a handicap at this track over 2100m on 28 May. Capable of earning some more money
    Summary: A very competitive looking race. BLEU (1) ran a very good race to finish third last time. She is on the upgrade and, despite carrying a penalty, could well come out on top. COSY BEAR (2) did not enjoy the smoothest of runs last time yet still finished close enough. Clearly competitive at this level, he should lead the opposition along with TOO DARN QUICK (3), runner-up last time out. MISTER BLACK (7) has never finished worse than fourth in this grade and will also be a threat.

86. ROCCAMARE – A winner of a Conditions race at Cholet over 2100m on 1 June. Tougher task this time but might earn some money
87. ROMANTIC SYMPHONY – Not disgraced when fourth at Lingfield Park over 2320m on 9 May. Capable of being a real threat to these rivals
88. MARYLENE DU SERRE – Finished fourth at Chantilly over 2400m on 31 May. Can get involved with the finish once again and must be respected
89. PIERIAN – Victorious twice in a row, the latest at Yarmouth over 2300m on 28 May. Looks capable of completing a hat-trick
90. SEA THE STORM – Not disgraced when fifth at York over 2050m on 13 May. Should challenge for top honours in this line-up
91. LEFTEYE – Successful in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 2100m on 22 May. Improving and could double up in this line-up
    Summary: Beaten by a very smart filly at Compiègne, CALASITA (1) will look to get her head in front this time. Trained by the formidable William Haggas, SEA THE STORM (8) drops in class here. LEFTEYE (9) is improving quickly and has the pedigree to thrive over this trip. ROMANTIC SYMPHONY (5) suffered her first defeat across the Channel last time in a strong field and it would be unwise to dismiss her entirely.

97. BLACK ULTRA – Finished 10th in a handicap at Tarbes over 2300m on 11 May. Needs to find a few lengths to score
98. CREATIVER – Only modest of late and finished 7th in a class 2 Conditions race at Dieppe over 3000m on 16 May. More is needed to beat these rivals
99. HASAPIKO – Not reliable but was third in a handicap at Deauville over 2500m on 16 January. Returns from a break but can contest the finish
    Summary: CENTRICAL (1) is in flying form at present and will attempt to defy a penalty against his rivals. Returning from a break, HASAPIKO (8) finds very favourable conditions in this riders’ race and could strike on her comeback. On last year’s form, I GOT RHYTHM (5) is competitive in a field like this. ODEMAR (2) may lack the ability of some but his current form is not in doubt and must be considered a possible winner.

C1 – PRIX DES TOULULA – 3500m (a2m1/4) – TURF – Claiming – Steeple Chase – EUR € 19,000

1. LA CHOCOLATINE – Finished 3rd last time over 3600m in a claiming hurdle on May 26th at Auteuil. Chasing debut and warrants respect
2. MISTRAL ROYAL – Failed to complete the course last time over 4250m in a Class 5 chase at Rostrenen on May 24th. Others rate higher
3. MORRA – Nice 3rd on the only run this year over 3700m in a Class 3 hurdle at Le Lion D’Angers on May 14th. Chase winner last year in October. Player
4. STAR GAZER – Unplaced last time over 3500m at this track in a handicap chase on June 1st, and 2nd before that at Moulins over fences in a claiming event on May 25th. Hard to ignore
5. KOMAANHE – Below par last time over 4200m in a Class 5 chase on June 6th at La -Roche-Sur-Yon. Unlikely to trouble the principles
6. MILLEMERCIS SIVOLA – Unplaced last time, 4th previously over 3800m in a Class 3 chase at Moulins on May 25th. Has work to do
7. PETITE THEYSS – Won on her last start over 3800m in a claiming chase at Moulins on May 25th. Ought to be involved in the shake-up
8. MUSISTAR – Fair effort to be 5th in a Class 4 chase at Haras Du Pin over 3700m on May 24th. Capable of being competitive
   Summary: MORRA (3) should strip fitter for her recent return, where she ran a pleasing race to finish third in a Class 3 hurdle last month. A winner over fences in October last year, she sets the standard. MUSISTAR (8) looks the main danger after a respectable fifth-place finish in a Class 4 chase at Haras Du Pin in late May and should be capable of building on that effort. STAR GAZER (4) appeals as a solid each-way option, particularly if reproducing the form she showed two starts ago. PETITE THEYSS (7) is another worthy of consideration.

9. GURZUF – Recent 5th at Lyon Parilly in a Class 2 chase over 4100m on May 14th. Capable of taking this down in class
10. KRAZY GEGE – Out of form recently, 9th at this track in a handicap chase over 3900m on June 10th. Has to bounce back to form
11. FOX TROT – Did not fire last time in a Class 1 chase 12 days ago, 4th previously at Royan over 4100m in a Class 4 chase on May 8th. Hard to overlook
12. JUMP DES MOTTES – Decent 3rd two runs back in a Class 4 chase at Royan on May 8th, can be excused for the latest below par run 8 days ago. Player
13. SULISANE KERDANE – Two unplaced runs of late, well beaten over 4000m in a handicap chase at Lyon Parilly on May 7th last time out. Has work to do
14. JAZZ BAND – Finished 5th on the only run this year over 3900m at Compiegne on May 13th in a claiming chase. Lacks consistency
15. KIMARILLO – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 3800m in a claiming chase at Moulins on May 9th. Has work ahead to be involved
16. CATS’AGILITY – Ran well to be 2nd over 3900m in a claiming chase at Compiegne on May 13th last time out. Ought to be thereabouts
17. SUPER BEND – Unplaced last time over hurdles in late May at Auteuil over 3600m in a claiming event. 3rd on May 9th in a claiming chase at Moulins. Each way aspirations
    Summary: GURZUF (1) is more than capable of scoring dropping into claiming class, he is a former Listed hurdle winner in April last year at Auteuil. FOX TROT (3) can keep the likely favourite honest. He was blow par recently but is best judged on a fourth on his penultimate start at Royan in early May. JUMP DES MOTTES (4) could be a nice option for the each way enthusiasts to latch on to, and CATS’AGILITY (8) completes the shortlist.

23. SISKA – Several placed runs on the flat, 8th on her latest start at Evreux over 2500m in a handicap on April 15th. She will be well prepared and warrants respect on hurdles debut
24. NARNIA DE L’ISLE – Finished 6th on the only run at Lyon Parilly in a Class 3 hurdle on May 14th. Has to make vast progress to make the frame
25. NOUVELLE IDEE – Finished 5th on her latest start on May 6th at Auteuil in a Class 3 hurdle over 3000m. Lightly raced and has a bit more to come
26. NEATIKAT – Finished 6th on her only start on the flat over 1800m in a maiden race at Le Croise-Laroche on March 20th. Others preferred
    Summary: KAMALA (2) ran with plenty of promise to be fourth at Compiegne on her hurdling bow in early May and she can only improve for that run under her belt. She is give the nod over VOLAGE DE ROCHE (5), who failed to complete on debut over hurdles 17 days ago when more was expected. KIFF AND KISS (1) ran well to be fourth at Auteuil 23 days ago in a Class 2 hurdle and can not be dismissed. SISKA (6) has numerous placed efforts on the flat and warrants respect on her hurdling debut.

27. SOMMERKONIG – Good 3rd last time over 3200m at this track over hurdles on April 30th. Jumped well on debut over hurdles and looks like the one to beat
28. HAYDEN DE ROCHE – Ran well to be 2nd on his sole start over 3500m at Moulins in a Class 5 hurdle on May 25th. Can improve and is one to keep onside
29. KASYMIR – He has not made the frame in three starts over hurdles, the latter over 3500m in a Class 2 hurdle on May 26th at Auteuil. Outside place chance at best
30. STRIKE IT RICH – Two runs so far, the latter over 3200m at this track in a hurdle race on April 30th when in 9th place. Look elsewhere
31. MOSSDAM – Unraced gelding by No Risk At All, the dam won 3 races over jumps and was placed in a Grade 3 chase. Nice profile and fro a good trainer that does well with newcomers
32. TROTINETTE – Placed 3rd on his latest run over 3500m at Moulins in a Class 5 hurdle on May 25th. Others make more appeal
33. NALKO DES MOTTES – Failed to complete in a Listed hurdle on May 30th, 5th before that over 3500m at Auteuil in a Class 4 hurdle on debut on April 9th. Player
34. STANLEY – Unraced gelding by Moises Has, the dam ran once on the flat. Stable runners are best watched in the betting for any support on debut
35. MY DEAL – Unraced gelding by Mirage Dancer, the dam won 2 races over jumps. Some good aspects to his profile and he is worth a market check
36. NORTON SPORT – Unraced gelding by Born To Sea, the dam won 5 races over jumps. One to monitor in the betting for any market interest
37. NEVEU EN BLEU – Gelding by Jeu St Eloi, the dam was placed a few times on the flat. From a respected trainer that will have this gelding nicely tuned
38. SO WATH – He has failed to trouble the judge in three starts, the latter over 3200m at Compiegne in Class 4 hurdle on May 4th. Hard to fancy
    Summary: SOMMERKONIG (1) showed improvement when switched to hurdles on his third career start, finishing a promising third at this track in April. With further progress likely, he gets the vote. MOSSDAM (5) looks the main danger. He is well bred, with his dam a three-time winner, and any market support would be significant. NALKO DES MOTTES (7) has already shown ability over hurdles and holds solid each-way claims. NEVEU EN BLEU (11) is an interesting newcomer who warrants respect if attracting positive support in the betting.

40. MESSIRE JOLY – Finished 7th on the only run over 3700m at Le Lion D’Angers on June 5th in a Class 3 hurdle. Looks safely held
41. KING DE CERES – He has three unplaced runs this year, 8th at Auteuil in a handicap hurdle over 3600m on May 17th last time. Pass over
42. HENRY POTTER – Recent success over 3700m in a handicap hurdle on June 1st in a handicap hurdle at Cholet. Live contender
43. MAHARAJA ROCHELAIS – He has failed to feature in two runs, the latter in a claiming hurdle over 3600m at Auteuil on May 26th. Hard to recommend
44. MONA BANK – Improved effort to be 3rd on her second run over 3550m in a claiming hurdle at Chateaubriant on May 24th. Place contender
45. GUIDO D’ONEIX – Pulled up at Pau in January over hurdles, 3rd before that at the same track over 3500m in a Class 2 hurdle on January 3rd. He should be fit after a layoff and drops down in class
46. SOLEDAD NONANTAISE – Ran well to be 5th at Compiegne in a handicap hurdle on May 26th over 3600m on her latest start. Hard to rule out dropping in class
47. RYGIA – Ran a creditable race to finish 5th at Auteuil in a handicap hurdle over 3600m on May 17th last time out. Has the ability if in the mood
48. MADEE – Unplaced last time, a win previously over 3300m at Kolesa (CZE) over hurdles on April 26th. Others make more appeal
49. LOOKING FOR YOU – Finished 5th last time over 3600m in a claiming race at Auteuil on May 26th. Ought to be thereabouts
    Summary: GUIDO D’ONEIX (7) is best judged on his penultimate effort, when finishing a creditable third. He should be fit enough despite the layoff and is taken to make a winning start in claiming company over hurdles. HENRY POTTER (4) looks the main danger after scoring in a handicap hurdle at Cholet 17 days ago and commands plenty of respect. SOLEDAD NONANTAISE (8) acquitted himself well in a handicap hurdle at Compiegne late in May, and has to be considered.LOOKING FOR YOU (11), heads the rest.

52. MEGALO DE SIVOLA – Three tame efforts on the flat, the latter over 2450m at Cluny in a conditions race on September 27th. Tries hurdles and is best avoided
53. TOP MIX – Newcomer by Gemix, the dam won 1 race over hurdles. Likely to improve for this run and others appeal more
54. MATIGNON LEON – Not seen since a 5th over 3500m in a Class 3 hurdle at Toulouse on February 17th. Fitness to prove and others make more sense
55. MONDE DES FLOS – Showed ability to be 5th on the sole start over 3400m in a Class 3 hurdle at this track on June 1st. Place contender with progress expected

59. BLIDA – Two 5th placed efforts on her last two runs, the most recent over 3400m at Dieppe in a Class 3 hurdle on June 19th. Hard to fancy
60. MA REINE – Showed plenty when 3rd on the flat at La-Roche-Posay in a conditions race on May 17th over 2400m. Hurdles bow and is sure to be well prepared

65. FORLIA DU FOUQUET – Filly by For Fun, the dam won 2 races over jumps. Stable runners are seen to better effect after a run or two and she does not appeal as a first time out winner
    Summary: SETTE BELLO (1) acquitted himself well enough at Auteuil on his last run in a Class 3 hurdle late last month when he was fifth. In calmer waters today he can get off the mark. The main danger could be AIGLE NOIR (2), who improved to be third at this track over hurdles on June 1st and can be involved. CASTEVA DU GRENAT (15) was a tad below par last time but if emulating his fourth in December on debut over hurdles he can not be ignored. GEMMA DODVILLE (9) has a nice profile and is one to consider on debut.

80. TRESOR DE BALLON – Placed 4th on his last run over 4000m at Orleans on May 17th in a Class 5 chase. This could be a step too far
    Summary: GENTLEMAN VALLEY (2) could be the answer in this open handicap hurdle. A reliable performer, he rarely runs a bad race and is expected to give another bold showing. LIEN DU CHOEUR (4) looks the main danger after a convincing success over this course and distance last time out and should remain highly competitive despite the rise in class. KONIAC WOOD (14) is another to keep onside and cannot be ruled out, while RISK DU BRIZAIS (3) also merits consideration and completes the shortlist.

83. KEL STORY – Four below par runs this year, 6th in a handicap hurdle at Lyon Parilly over 4000m on June 6th last time. Hardly inspiring
84. HIM MALAYA – He has not fired on the two runs of late, a win before that over 3600m at Auteuil in a Class 2 hurdle on April 13th was a better effort. Has to bounce back to form
85. JOYEUSE ROQUE – Solid effort to be 2nd over 3600m at Compiegne on May 28th in a Class 3 hurdle last time out. One to pay attention to

95. EXCITING HUNT – Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3600m on May 26th in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil. Look elsewhere
    Summary: JOUR POLAIRE (2) is difficult to oppose after a decisive success in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil last month. A repeat of that performance should make him hard to beat. HAMANDIO (1) looks the main danger despite finishing five lengths behind the selection in second when they met last time. Better weight terms could help him narrow the gap. LASCAR D’AIRY (13) is another to consider. With a favourable racing weight. MOUNT ANGEL (11), who has recent placed form at this track, appeals as the best of the rest.

1. LOKA LOKA – Most impressive winner of a 2150m Vichy Class F 3 weeks ago. Ran 2nd on sole association with his apprentice and looks the one to beat
2. LOVE ME ALWAYS – Imposed at Gournay-en-Bray in early-May but has twice failed to confirm. Is back on a hard surface though and cannot be ruled out
3. LAURA SISSI – Tough mare that gave a good account of herself on her Argentan comeback on 11 May. Has had ample time to improve and from the 3 slot will be expected to apply the pressure on LOKA LOKA (1)
4. LUTTE IMPERIALE – Has taken her game up a notch this season. Has yet to open her 2026 account but has a lot going for her here and Lilas Viel can be quietly confident of a spot in the picture
5. LOUMIA CASTELETS – Put a number of poor performances behind her when 4th in a Class E at La Capelle 3.5 weeks ago. Enjoys a good spot behind the car but others still preferred
6. LA MOME DE CAHOT – Comes to Caen on the back of 5 straight eliminations, but is undeniably capable when focused and, if applied, can give this a good go
7. LOVELY KOOL – Held back for this after being eliminated at Elbeuf in early-May. Is better than recent figures would suggest and, at just 20 Euros from elimination, must be taken seriously
8. LIO DE PIENCOURT – Has raced well for the most part this year but takes on a tougher lot this time and will struggle to make her mark
9. LIZY DE LA SALETTE – Modest mare making first start since last November and under these conditions has no realistic chance
10. LIZENN D’ERQUY – Acquitted herself well on re-entry but looked very ordinary at Amiens and will need to find significantly more
11. LINEA DE L’ALBA – Showed encouraging signs at Graignes in April before disappointing at Vincennes early last month. Races shod this time and best to keep one’s powder dry
12. LOLITA DU STADE – Has been a bit of handful this year but has buckets of ability. Sports a new configuration and, on good behaviour, could pleasantly surprise
13. LEANE DU PARC – Has been very hard to knock over recent weeks, latterly 4th in a Bernay Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Is confirmed at the venue and can play an important role if Leo Guenet successfully navigates the start
    Summary: Third on re-entry at Argentan, LOKA LOKA (1) romped up at Vichy next time and is easy to fancy for a repeat. LAURA SISSI (3) has a race under her belt since the layoff, is better-placed on the front line, and Kévin Brossard will be keen to take advantage of the excellent entry. LUTTE IMPERIALE (4) has been acquitting herself well and from the 4 slot should prove competitive for a place in the frame. LEANE DU PARC (13) may not have won the draw lottery but she has been knocking at the door and her only victory was secured under these very conditions.

15. MOZART DU ROYAL – Modest individual that has yet to make any impact and is not about to start now
16. MATUVU – Has looked just as ordinary under the saddle as has done under harness and can be confidently written off
17. MOJITO PLANCHETTE – Has placed just once in 7 starts under the saddle and recent Caen performance did little to assuage connections
18. MINAO DE MAJEBA – Takes first competitive monte steps after 3 straight harness sanctions. Victor Saussaye aboard for the occasion but still not a priority
19. MOONLIGHT QUANDO – Was going well when eliminated in a 2875m Argentan Class E a month ago. Sports fresh shoeing and will be no pushover if focused
20. MILORD DREAM – Got back in the game when 4th in 19 May race of reference. Sports a new configuration for his Caen debut but is unlikely to create an upset
21. MON DE CHEVALERIE – Hardy individual with solid monte references, latterly 3rd in an Argentan Class E on 19 May. Goes well for Alexiane Lepage and can challenge for a place on the podium
22. MOGADOR – Not the easiest of horses to use but has shown some promise in this branch of the business and was by no means disgraced last time here. First 5
23. M’AVEZ VOUS VU – Clearly in race-mode following his comeback run at Les Sables earlier in the month. Mathieu Mottier gets the nod this time and will be eyeing victory
24. MERCENAIRE D’ECHAL – Quality colt that excels with Adrien Lamy. Has no clockwise credentials but benefits from a good entry and can make this his own if he turns
    Summary: Winner of 2 from 3 before being eliminated at Les Sables-d’Olonne, MERCENAIRE D’ECHAL (11) goes right-handed for the first time, with Adrien Lamy back in the irons, and can set the record straight. M’AVEZ VOUS VU (10) has displayed a particular flair for the discipline and, shod to preference for his first objective of the season, can make a big splash. MOONLIGHT QUANDO (6) was unable to confirm his Graignes victory when eliminated at Argentan, but his form is sure and should be afforded respect. MON DE CHEVALERIE (8) got back in the game that day and is easy to recommend.

25. MERRY DAY – Made up for Alencon run when 4th in a Class F over course and distance late last month. Is not about to create an upset but has a lot going for her here and will not be sent out at 50-1 this time
26. MAYFLOWER DULONRAY – Moderate element that has looked rather ordinary so far this term and recent 6th behind MERRY DAY (1) here did little to convince otherwise
27. MONONOKE DE BRETT – Put in a good effort to finish 5th in a 2300m Chateaubriant Class F on 7 June. Is well-placed behind the car here and can figure more prominently this time
28. MA PASSION – Has evident ability but is not the most reliable. Will be fully-fit for her barefoot bow and the draw will only work to her advantage
29. MAYWENN DU GUERET – 6th of 16 in a 2450m Class E here 3 weeks ago despite early traffic problems. Leading driver takes over in the bike and will be eager to put things right
30. MONA VILI – Tricky type that left a good impression at Chateaubriant 11 days ago despite being eliminated. Is plainly in fine shape and will be no easy touch if Alexis Collette manages to keep her focused
31. MAIN ABSOLUE – Was making first start since December, and was first-time barefoot, when imposing at Laon a month back. Top driver at the helm this time and from the front row can confirm
32. MARIE DE L’AUNAY – Ran 3rd over course and distance 3 months ago but has done nothing noteworthy since. Starts wide on front line and others easier to back
33. MADISHA JOSSELYN – Is no slouch but has been completely off the boil this term and must first get her house in order
34. MARGATE – Blows hot and cold but reverts to a formula which served her well at La Capelle earlier in the season and despite the 2nd row start can get in on the action
35. MY QUEEN BLUE – Surprise 3rd in a Savigny-sur-Braye Class F on 14 May but was soundly beaten at Sablé-sur-Sarthe 2.5 weeks ago, and will have nothing to contribute
36. MISS WINNER – Has ability but also quite a temperament. Ran 3rd in a Vichy Class F mid-May but failed to repeat when eliminated at Rambouillet, and the draw only compounds matters
37. MADRAGUE GALI – Unexceptional filly making first appearance since 12 December and is not about to set off any fireworks
38. MAESTRIA DE PADD – Showed encouraging signs at Graignes last month but was well-beaten at Chateaubriant next time and will struggle to make her presence felt
39. MADONA DE VILLABON – Lost her maiden status 3 months ago but has made little to no impact since and even though fitted with pads this time still looks an outsider
40. MANGALYA – Ran 2nd to MAYWENN DU GUERET (5) at Amiens on 16 May but was unable to confirm when eliminated at Carpentras a fortnight later, and has pulled a rough number
41. MONDAINE – Has not been seen out since running 4th in a Bihorel-lès-Rouen Class F in early-April. Is barefoot for the occasion but has been allocated a rough number and can be passed over
    Summary: MAIN ABSOLUE (7) left quite the impression on re-entry last month when comfortably lifting a Laon Class F; she will have progressed for the run and from the front row can confirm. MAYWENN DU GUERET (5) failed to pull off the hat-trick when suffering interference here late last month and, entrusted to Mathieu Mottier for the occasion, can set the record straight. MONA VILI (6) was going strong when eliminated at Chateaubriant recently and can redeem herself if kept out of trouble. Fifth that day, MONONOKE DE BRETT (3) takes her chances at Caen for the first time and will not be far off the mark if she takes to the new conditions. MA PASSION (4) goes barefoot for the first time and will be expected to show another side.

43. LUCASSCHADEL – Has never shown any real flair for the monte code and returns to the discipline with nothing to contribute
44. LE MANERET – Debuts in the discipline following a pair of modest return runs under harness. Shoes fitted this time and is unlikely to shake things up
45. LIBERATOR PHEDO – Back under the saddle following a pair of harness conditioners. Has demonstrated fine monte aptitude and, if applied, could well contest the finish
46. LATINO BOY – Respectable 5th in a Class E under these conditions mid-May before being eliminated at Le Neubourg. Is useful on a good day and although not a priority is still worth monitoring
47. LUCKY DU BOUFARD – Won his first 3 monte starts but has come significantly off the boil since and can expect to have few friends
48. LOVELY ONE – Hardy element that produced some good performances here last autumn. Will have come on for his return run, will be competitively-shod under the saddle at Caen for the first time and must be considered a player
49. LOS PACOS – Excellent campaigner when focused and has nothing to prove at this level. Imposed on his only start with Jean Ferron who will be mindful to keep that fact relevant. Claim
50. LOUIS GAILLARD – Useful type that made up for Argentan clinker when 3rd in an Amiens Class F mid-May. In better company this time but enjoys a good entry and is unlikely to go home empty-handed
51. LYNX ATOUT – Has imposed just once and placed just once in 20 career starts. Is unraced since last October and is not about to spring any surprises
52. LE RIB – Like a horse reborn since returning to the ridden discipline. Won smartly at Gournay-en-Bray and even though stepping up in category still looks competitive for a place in the picture
    Summary: Wonderfully capable but as capricious as the wind, LOS PACOS (8) ran 2nd here late last month before losing his action in Vichy last week, but has been reconfigured and can more than make amends if Jean Ferron keeps him trotting. Failing that, the race can play out between the somewhat tricky but eminently capable LIBERATOR PHEDO (4), and the well-engaged LE RIB (11) who has done nothing but excel since returning from his winter break. Back under the saddle after pleasing on comeback under harness at Vichy, LOVELY ONE (7) has a particular liking for these conditions and, freshly re-shod, is unlikely to let the side down.

53. MYTHE D’ERABLE – 7th of 13 on re-entry in a Saint-Malo Class D 3.5 weeks ago. Placed on sole start here and racing barefoot may be just the ticket. Claim
54. MAJOR DE CHOC – Showed improvement when 4th of 12 in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is well-placed on front line and in the hands of Alexis Collette will be afforded every chance. First 5
55. MONACO DU LIVET – Unthreatening 6th of 11 in a 2400m Amiens Class E 10 days ago. Has otherwise been acquitting himself honourably and should not be overlooked
56. METALO DE PLAY – Not always the easiest of horses to use but has decent right-handed references and can get a look in if he deigns to keep his action together
57. MYTHIQUE RENKA – Has looked very ordinary since the turn of the year. Has placed just once in 5 Caen runs and can be passed over
58. MANCHESTER – Opened his French account at Reims in March but has struggled somewhat since and needs to get his house in order
59. MIRAGE DU CAIEU – Not always the most reliable but ran out commanding winner of a Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 1 June, and with form maintained can repeat
60. MATRIX SAUTREUIL – Sent for a rest just over 2 months ago following a modest stint on the track. Stays shod for comeback and can be ruled out
61. MUSCAT DES EPINES – Started to come good again in April but was eliminated when going well at Amiens 10 days ago. Entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois this time and can play a prominent role
62. MAKE A WISH – Encouraged at Reims in March but recently eliminated at Saint-Malo. Leading driver back in the bike though and should prove competitive at the business end of the race
63. MODEVY – Useful element but eliminated in last 2, latterly a Vichy Class F a month back. Is arguably better on turf but the engagement of Paul Ploquin can make all the difference
64. MEADOWLANDS – Tricky but well-regarded colt making first appearance since last November. Is clearly in conditioning-mode and is not about to spring any surprises
    Summary: Given an easy comeback at Saint-Malo late last month, MYTHE D’ERABLE (1) will be competitively-shod for the first time and has a realistic chance of imposing. MIRAGE DU CAIEU (7) was most impressive at Le Croise-Laroche though and, barefoot for the occasion, will be no soft touch. MUSCAT DES EPINES (9) showed his form at Amiens recently after his early elimination and can make amends if Yoann Lebourgeois gets him off on the right foot. Well-backed at Saint-Malo, MAKE A WISH (10) will be reunited with Mathieu Mottier who will be expecting to put things right.

65. KANARDO FOR CLARA – Ran 4th at Le Mont-Saint-Michel mid-May before faulting early at Amiens. Showed his form though and is unlikely to disappoint if he gets off on the right foot
66. KINGALO DU CHENE – Put in quite the performance to run 2nd in a Nancy Class F late last month, on his first start for over a year, and Paul Ploquin can be confident of another big run
67. ISPANO BELLO – Has fine monte credentials but eliminated in last 4 starts under the saddle and is unlikely to upset the status quo
68. KADO SURPRISE – Has little monte experience but did place in 1 of 2 starts. Sports a fresh configuration for the occasion and, considering his form, can give this a good go
69. KRACKSMAN – Has failed to make much of an impact since returning this season. Has decent ridden references but still represents no more than a minor place chance
70. JENKA DE MORMOULIN – Debuts in the discipline after some particularly modest harness efforts and can be disregarded
71. JO DIBAH – Returns to the code after reassuring under harness at Lisieux a month back but will need to find more this time
72. JAGUAR PIYA – Has not been seen out since July 2025 but is competitively-shod for the occasion. Has won twice under the saddle here and should not be underestimated
73. JANEIRO TURGOT – Sprang a 62-1 surprise when 4th in a Graignes Class G on 22 May, however a repeat looks decidedly unlikely
74. JIKITA MELRIC – Failed to confirm Alencon performance when well-beaten behind JANEIRO TURGOT (9) at Graignes last month and is unlikely to spice things up
75. JUST PACHA – Runner-up at Meslay-du-Maine before making short work of a Lisieux class F 11 days ago. Is well-in here and will be expected to bring the fight to KENTUCKY DANICA (12)
76. KENTUCKY DANICA – Has taken no time getting back to his best following the winter break. Was beaten only by a very good horse at Laval and will be well-backed to win this
    Summary: An excellent campaigner that seldom puts a foot out of line, KENTUCKY DANICA (12) enjoys a superb entry, has yet to disappoint at Caen, and can expect the lion’s share of support. Mathieu Mottier will still be mindful of a revitalised JUST PACHA (11) who romped to victory at Lisieux earlier in the month. KINGALO DU CHENE (2) ran second on re-entry at Nancy 3 weeks ago and, barefoot this time, clearly has the wherewithal to finish close once more. KANARDO FOR CLARA (1) is never the easiest of horses to handle but he is plainly in shape and won his only Caen start.

77. KEOPS BEGONIA – Unremarkable trotter that was eliminated on comeback at Niort 11 days ago. Starts on the inside but in this company can expect to find the going tough
78. KRONO DU TRIO – Useful type returning to racing clockwise after having run 5th at Le Mans last month. Sports a fresh configuration and with Gilles D’Haenens in the bike can give this a good go
79. KAISER DE MORTREE – Has done nothing but improve over recent weeks, latterly 3rd in a Vincennes amateurs Class G 9 days ago. Benefits from an excellent draw but faces a much stiffer challenge this time
80. KRICK DE CONDE – Placed twice on turf before being eliminated at Angouleme last Sunday. Benefits from a good spot on front line and will not be far off the mark if kept focused
81. KRONOS D’ERPION – Eliminated at Vincennes last week after having suffered interference. Has otherwise been firing on all cylinders and returns to the professional ranks with a potentially good hand to play
82. KRUGER DU NORD – Has looked decidedly ordinary since returning from his winter break and can expect to have few friends
83. KING DE LARRE – Encouraging 4th over track and trip 3 weeks ago but failed to confirm at Feurs late last week and can be passed over
84. KAID DEL GREEN – Got straight down to business at Amiens last week when entrusted to Paul Ploquin for the first time. Has yet to make his mark at Caen but a similar performance would see him double up
85. KAISER TURGOT – Eliminated when going well in an Amiens Class E 10 days ago. Is unbeaten in 2 starts over course and distance and represents main danger to KAID DEL GREEN (8)
86. KORSIKO – Put in a fine performance to run 3rd in a 2300m Chateaubriant Class E on 7 June. Will be close to peak fitness and even though forced to start on 2nd line, still looks a player
87. KAFE CREME – Modest trotter that made no impact on re-entry mid-May. Barefoot this time but is still a rank outsider
88. KENOR DESBOIS – Showed improvement at Salon-de-Provence last month only to lose his action here 8 days ago. David Thomain reining this time but still no more than a minor place prospect
89. KENAVO TUILERIE – Gave a good account over 2450m here last week when 3rd in a Class E. Has pulled a tough number but with Mathieu Mottier in the bike will be no soft touch
90. KAZAN DE VANDEL – Has placed just once in 7 starts this term, latterly 5th in a 2450m Class E here late last month, and the draw only compounds matters
91. KANKAN – Has been a complete write-off since last September and has shown no sign of an imminent return to form
    Summary: Already a winner at Mauquenchy in April, KAID DEL GREEN (8) went on to impose with authority at Amiens 10 days ago and even though drawn wide still looks a marginally better bet than the in-form and Caen-loving KAISER TURGOT (9) who was full of running when eliminated that day. KORSIKO (10) has taken little time to get back in shape, imposed last time at the venue, and must be taken seriously. Barring last month’s Vichy blip, KENAVO TUILERIE (13) has been enjoying a productive run of form, tends to go well for Mathieu Mottier, and is unlikely to let the side down.

92. JEEP DE DALINE – Erratic mare with a pair of runs under her belt so far this spring. Reverts to a previous formula but still not a concern
93. JARYCA – Previously a good sort but lost her way 18 months ago. Has 3 runs under her belt this term, sports a new formula, but still not a player
94. JOYCE DREAM – Not the most striking of horses but has been acquitting herself respectably this term. Has no particular love for Caen though and looks a minor place chance at best
95. JAINA D’ESSARTS – Imposed at Lisieux on 17 May, then repeated at the same venue 3 weeks later. Ran 2nd last time at Caen and the three-timer looks to be well within her reach
96. JADE D’ERABLE – Four times a winner in 5 Caen runs. Is reunited with David Thomain who is responsible for 3 of them and despite the hike in category still looks competitive
97. JOLIE QUEEN – Showed signs of encouragement at Graignes on 22 May but failed to confirm at Agen 8 days later, and can expect to have few friends
98. JIVA – Pleased in 2 of last 4, most recently 4th of 10 in a Toulouse Class F on 5 June. Is confirmed under these conditions and is unlikely to be far from the action
99. HYSIS VENESI – Handy sort but has not been seen out since last November and is going to need the race
100. JOFESCA BUISSONAY – Has placed just twice in 6 starts this year but is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois who excels with her, and should be good enough to pick up a first-5 payout
101. JUVAMINE RENARDIER – Has 3 runs under her belt this term but has yet to show any form. Has placed twice here but others still easier to support
102. JOLIE SMART – Sprang a 41-1 surprise when 4th in a Rambouillet Class F 11 days ago. A repeat, however, seems most improbable
103. ISENGRINE ABSOLUTE – Has placed just once in 4 starts this term. Particularly disappointing in last 2 and even though fitted with 4 pads for the first time will have little to offer
104. IDOLE STAR – Has taken time to come to hand this term but ran 3rd in a Vichy Class E on 1 June. Is nicely-entered here and, with form maintained, can contest the finish
105. HATALANTE DE FLO – Below-par in all 5 starts this term and appears to have no realistic chance
106. JEUNE ORANGE COTON – Was unable to confirm Le Mont-Saint-Michel success when eliminated at Durtal 3.5 weeks ago. Benefits from a good entry though and will be able to capitalise if she keeps her action together
107. JOYCE DU VAL – Generous mare that was surprisingly lacklustre at Carpentras 2.5 weeks ago. Has otherwise been in fine shape this spring and, considering the entry, cannot be discounted
     Summary: Simply superb since returning to competition in April, JAINA D’ESSARTS (4) returns to Caen on a hat-trick and can wrap this up if she manages to stay in stride. Francois Lagadeuc will still want to be wary of IDOLE STAR (13) who gave a reassuringly good account at Vichy early this month, and the tricky but talented, and well-engaged, JEUNE ORANGE COTON (15) who will have her chances if Antonin Andre keeps her focused. JIVA (7) returns to a track she likes after having encouraged at Toulouse a fortnight back and must be respected.

    Summary: LADY MASTER (16) returned to form in an apprentice race earlier this month. The richest in the field, she could not have asked for a better opportunity to record another success. LOLITA GIRL (10) was given a break after ending last season on a high note. Prepared for this return, she warrants plenty of respect from the outset. Likely to improve on her comeback run, LADY OH (15) is next best ahead of LORETTE D’ERABLE (14) wh can also make the frame.

    Summary: Clearly talented, MAX D’OLMEN (2) should be well suited by this course. Faultless since his debut, he will look to follow up. Beaten by him last time, MATCHO LOUANGES (7) is set to lead the opposition alongside MANA MIX (6), who won last month ahead of a colt that has since franked the form. MARCEL SEVEN (11) scored with authority in his latest start; despite a second-line draw, he should not be overlooked.

Despite his second-line draw, he is preferred to JOHN ANGOT (1), carefully prepared by his trainer, and JOYCE PILE (9), a winner over course and distance in her only appearance at Vichy. Blessed with plenty of speed, JAVA DE ROUAISSE (8) is another to consider.

KANGAE DE GUEZ (3) is not the easiest to handle but is capable of a big run if her driver can keep her under control. KALITY LOVE (5) can also get involved with the finish if smart.

    Summary: They may be few in number, but the choice is far from straightforward. NO TIME DU DONJON (7) left a very good impression when winning at the end of May at Beaumont de Lomagne and should play a leading role. NAVY SEAL (6) is held in high regard by Tony Le Beller and will challenge for top honours. NO LIMIT DELO (4) drops in class and the trip could prove worthwhile. Clearly improving, NEMO DES BROUETS (3) cannot be ruled out.

    Summary: NABUCCO JOSSELYN (6) is an improving colt. It was a convincing return to form last time out, he could get the better of them all. The task is not straightforward, however, with NITCH DE REVE D’OR (5), sent out with confidence by his trainer, and NABAB DE CHENU (8), who scored impressively on this track at the end of May, standing in his way. Continually progressing, NUMENOR’S FELLA (1) also has every chance of finishing in the mix.

    Summary: MARELLA DALEO (10) drops back into a category where she has already proven herself. Given the overall quality of the field, victory looks within reach. From two starts at this level, MUST D’AURALIE (6) has finished on the podium each time and represents a solid betting proposition. MUSE LIGERIENNE (7) posted two notable performances in this class earlier in the spring and must be respected. It could be all or nothing with MOOREA BOND (3)!

    Summary: A very competitive lucky last race. JAGUAR DE KARA (9) will look to follow up on his recent success and gets the vote toscore. JIHERE DU PORET (5) is not the most reliable, but if he stays focused from start to finish, he can give the selection plenty to think about. A recent winner on this track, JAMES MADRIK (12) is also a leading contender, along with ILEX DE CABERT (4), who scored at course a month ago.
