  3. LAIKA DES MARES – Disqualified three times in a row, the latest in class D at Les Andelys over 2525m on 21 June. Not easy to trust and others are preferred
  4. LAISSEZ FAIRE – Not reliable and finished 6th in class D at Laval over 2850m on 3 June. Quite capable of earning some money

  8. LOVE YOU PHYT’S – Victorious twice in last three starts, including in class D at Vincennes over 2700m on 5 June. Can score again
  9. LUCIOLE DU VERTAIN – Finished 4th in class D at Vincennes over 2175m on 26 May. Unreliable and might need to do a bit more to beat these rivals
  10. LUTIN JABA – Has only been modest of late and finished 7th in class D at Niort over 2475m on 7 June. More is needed to beat these rivals

    Summary: A very open looking first event. LUPIN DES TOURS (11) failed to make an impact last time on the demanding main track at Vincennes but should fare much better back on a flatter profile. LOOK MESLOIS (13) is not the easiest to handle but is racing in his right grade and now has the assistance of Benjamin Rochard, which could make a difference. At his best, LOVE YOU PHYT’S (8) is sure to give another bold showing. LISCADO DE HOUELLE (2), fitted with shoes after a comeback run, also claims.

  31. GALINETTE BLEUE – Off form and finished 9th in class D at Laval over 2850m on 22 May. Needs to do more to beat these rivals
    Summary: IDEAL DE CASTELLE (14) was highly convincing during the second half of 2025 in much stronger company and finds ideal conditions this Saturday. While he has just one run under his belt, he appears to hold a clear edge over this opposition. His main threat could be INDIC (12), who has not been seen since 1 October but tends to go well when fresh. FAXIMA (10), capable of finishing strongly, IALKO JENILAT (8), who impressed at Vincennes last time are also in with a chance.

If keeping his stride, PURE STEEL (7) is more than capable of making the frame.

MOJI DE VANDEL (9), fitted with all four shoes off for the first time, is one to take seriously. MAMBO DU MIREL (3), who is known for finishing his races well and is another to consider.

  15. MACLOBEL DE FADAJE – Disqualified in three of his last five starts, the latest in Class F at Feurs over 2850m on 20 June. Hard to trust but is capable of playing a minor role.
  16. MORAVCIK – Showed some improvement when third in Class H at Montluçon over 3025m on 7 June. Might play a minor role at best
  17. MON LUCERNAIS – Not reliable and finished 7th in Class F at Feurs over 2850m on 20 June. Might pop up in a place if at best
  18. MY BEAUTIFUL – Has improved of late and finished fourth in Class F at Feurs over 2850m on 20 June. Could make the frame
  19. MAGIC DU SABLIER – Has only been moderate of late and finished 8th in Class F at Feurs over 2850m on 20 June. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  20. MACHTWO DU MORTIER – Unreliable but was third in Class F at Feurs over 2850m on 20 June. Capable of scoring in an open race
  21. MYLOVE DES RIVIERE – Has shown improvement of late and finished fourth in Class F at this course over 2600m on 9 June. Should fight out the finish

  23. MAGIC PEGASUS – Not reliable and finished fifth in a claimer at Vichy over 2975m on 18 June. Capable of earning some money when smart
    Summary: Handed to David Békaert for the first time, MACHTWO DU MORTIER (9) could finally break through after a series of near misses in recent weeks. In good form MYLOVE DES RIVIERES (10) and MISTRAL DE RATILLY (11) look set to provide the main opposition. MYLOVE DES RIVIERE (10) has course experience and is slightly preferred to MYLOVE DES RIVIERE (10). MY BEAUTIFUL (7) has been knocking on the door of a podium finish and may well get her reward here

  33. LABEL DE CHENU – Disqualified last time out in a harness race at Chartres over 2825m on 17 June. Big chance back under the saddle
    Summary: Partnered with the in-form Quentin Seguin for this ambitious assignment, LABEL DE CHENU (10) looks a strong contender. Usually reliable, LOVA DE FROMENTEL (8) is best forgiven her recent disqualification and is a real threat, LAPSUS (9) is worth another chance on his return to mounted action. LUSKO (4), if keeping his mind on the job is also capable of getting involved with the finish over this course and distance.

    Summary: Transferred to David Békaert after the winter, KATE METEOR (8) has fully blossomed and looks to have a fine opportunity to open her account. By far the most accomplished runner in the field, KALLISTEE (11) is not without hope despite conceding 25 metres. KENZA SPORT (5), back among professional ranks can be competitive. KANEA DE L’ABBAYE (10) is capable of a revival and can get into the mix of things as well.

  55. LEMON DE LA VALLEE – Very consistent and finished third in Class E at Feurs over 2850m on 20 June. Should contest the finish once again.
    Summary: LIKE A JULRY (10) was likely having an off day when beaten once but has since resumed winning ways and could record a ninth success in ten starts. Runner-up in that same race, LEMON DE LA VALLEE (11) should once again be in the thick of things. If keeping her stride, LUTIN QUICK (8) holds a winning chance. LEA D’EP (5) is betetr than the last run would suggest and is quite capable of making the frame once again.

    Summary: JOLI MEC D’AMOUR (8) is only partnered with David Békaert for major targets and, racing unshod, looks an obvious contender. However, this is far from straightforward against JIM JULRY (6), who is knocking at the door, and JUPITER FRANCE (5), who is expected to rediscover his form sooner rather than later. IGLIANO DES IRIS (3) faces a tough task against younger rivals but can still be competitive for this.

  72. L’ESPOIR – Disqualified four times in a row, the latest at Feurs over 2850m on 12 June. Hard to trust and others are preferred
    Summary: A very open looking lucky last race. LORD DES FANES (8) had to battle for a year and a half before landing only the second win of his career and may well have finally unlocked the door to further success. He will, however, need to beware of the three fillies in opposition: LOLLIPOP DU CEBE (6), ideally configured in terms of shoeing; LOVA DE BOURGOGNE (4), transformed since going unshod; and LEYLI DE LA VALLEE (1), who is best not judged too harshly on recent efforts.

  1. MUSIK PLEASE – Recent win over 3800m in a Class 3 chase on May 25 at Moulins. Won well last time and looks like the one to beat

  3. MON IDEE – Two 4th placed runs of late, the most recent over 3700m at Le Lion D’Angers in a Class 3 hurdle on June 5. Has work to do
  4. MICAWBER – Two 6th place runs of late, the latter on the flat over 2800m at Moulins on May 9, and before that in a handicap chase at Auteuil over 3500m in April. Can make an impact
  5. MISS GONAGALL – Finished 4th on her sole start over 3500m at Moulins in a Class 3 hurdle on May 25. Tries fences and she can improve from her debut
  6. MARY POPPINS – Recent success over 3550m in a claiming hurdle at Chateaubriant on May 24th. Makes her chase debut and can be involved
    Summary: MUSIK PLEASE (1) has strong credentials. She won nicely on her latest start in a Class 3 chase at Moulins and should be too smart for MICAWBER (4), who has fared reasonably well on the last two runs, one of them on the flat, and recently over fences at Auteuil in April. MISS GONAGALL (5) showed nice promise when making her debut over hurdles, when fourth at Moulins and although lacking in experience she should have the size and scope to do well in this code.

  13. EVA DE ROCHE – Nice win on her latest run over 3550m in a Class 3 hurdle at Chateaubriant on May 5. Hard to rule out
    Summary: WASS UP (5) has shaped well on both runs so far, the latter when second at Auteuil in a Class 2 hurdle on May 26. If emulating her latest start she can have the measure of RAFFLES CHOICE (6), who has shown plenty of talent and was not disgraced in a Class 4 hurdle last time out at Auteuil. EVA DE ROCHE (7) is another to take seriously and warrants attention, as does SULLY (3), who jumped better to win on the latest start in a claiming hurdle at this track.

  23. LES FLOTS BLEUS – Failed to complete the course 9 days ago at this track, 4th before that over 3600m in a claiming hurdle at Auteuil on May 26. Place chance
  24. LUNA LUPA – Creditable 6th over 3800m in a handicap hurdle at this track last time on June 18. One to pay attention to
    Summary: LET ME DREAM (8) should be ready to go despite an absence since a creditable effort in a claiming hurdle at Fontainebleau in December. He is given the vote ahead of SYSKO (6), who is a strong competitor in this class of race and can not be discounted. HARRY (1) is dropping in class from the latest run and warrants close attention.

  34. NEATIKAT – Two unplaced runs, the latter when not completing the course over this track and trip in a Class 4 hurdle on June 18. Has work to do
    Summary: WINE AND ROSES (1) made a winning debut in a Class 5 hurdle at Dax earlier this month and is expected to improve for that experience. She looks capable of following up and rates the one to beat.The main threat could come from NIKARIA (8), who shaped with promise when finishing fourth on her debut at Nantes and is likely to have progressed from that initial outing. MINDANAO (2) also merits respect after a solid fourth-place finish in a Class 3 hurdle 12 days ago and cannot be overlooked. MAITRE YELLOW (6) appeals as the best of the remainder

However, she faces a stern test from the unbeaten QUADRILLE SUCCES (9), who looks the principal danger.

  59. KIRAKINE – Three unplaced runs this year, failed to complete last time over 4400m at Auteuil in a Listed chase on May 16th. Others preferred
  60. GARDONS LE SOURIRE – Recent win at Compiegne on May 30 in a Class 3 hurdle over 3600m. Placed 3rd in a Grade 3 chase in April at Compiegne over 4100m. Leading chance
  61. NIKKALUOKTA – Two wins of late, the latter over 4100m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 1 chase on June 6. One to take seriously
  62. PRIAM DU MESNIL – Back in 3rd over 3800m in a Class 4 chase at Dieppe on June 1 on the latest start. Warrants respect and has to be considered
  63. BUBBLE PRETTY – Two wins of late, the latter over 4100m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 1 chase on June 6. In good shape and a can feature
  64. SAISHO – Failed to complete the course in late May over fences at Compiegne last time, 3rd before that in a Class 3 hurdle at this track on April 30. Ought to be thereabouts
  65. FOX TROT – Two unplaced runs of late, failed to complete when falling at this track over fences on June 18 in a claiming event. Needs a few to falter
  66. KANON DEVIL – Four solid efforts recently, 2nd three times and then a recent win over 3900m at this track on June 10 in a handicap chase. Has work to do
  67. KALINE DES BOULLAT – Finished 7th last time over 3900m at Dieppe in a handicap chase on June 10, and 4th before that in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil in March. Others preferred
  68. JUMP DES MOTTES – Recent 2nd over 4400m at this track in a claiming chase on June 18. This might be a step too far and is best avoided
    Summary: VISION DU RHEU (1) impressed when winning a Class 2 chase over 3900 metres at this track and holds strong claims of following up. The main threat may come from GARDONS LE SOURIRE (3), who scored over hurdles at Compiègne in late May and is also a capable performer over fences. BUBBLE PRETTY (6) arrives in excellent form having won her last two starts. Although this represents a tougher assignment, she cannot be overlooked. NIKKALUOKTA (4) is another worthy of consideration and has the ability to make her presence felt.

  1. CHIRIMIRI – Finished 5th in a Class 3 race on May 31st on the latest start. Needs to show more consistency to make the frame
  2. MISTER GAN – Two unplaced runs since a win over 1400m at this track on April 8. Needs to bounce back to form to be involved
  3. ROCKY RUN – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that at Fontainebleau in a Class 2 handicap on April 20. Hard to dismiss
  4. MAROON SIX – Nice win last time over 1600m at Compiegne in a Class 3 handicap on May 25. Good amateur on top and can play a lead role
  5. PASSINGSHOT – Fair 4th last time over 1500m in a Class 3 handicap at Marseille Vivaux on May 22. One to pay attention to
  6. CASARES – Five unplaced runs recently, the latter over 1800m at Parislongchamp on June 15 in a Class 3 handicap. Hard to fancy
  7. LORIA – Two 3rd place efforts recently, the most recent over 1600m at Compiegne on May 20 in a Class 3 handicap. Can feature
    Summary: ROCKY RUN (3) disappointed in a recent Quinté+, but drops into a much more suitable contest here and benefits from an attractive opportunity in this amateur-riders’ event. He looks capable of bouncing back. The main threat could come from MAROON SIX (4), who is partnered by the ever-reliable Florent Guy, a notable asset in races of this nature. A proven performer on sand, PASSINGSHOT (5) is not making the trip for no reason and must be respected. If she handles this surface, LORIA (7) has the ability to make her presence felt.

  11. HINATA GREY – Won on debut at Chantilly in a Class 3 race over 1200m on May 19. Open to progress and can be involved
  12. ARALIA – Placed on all three runs, 2nd on the latter over 1000m in a Listed race on May 31st behind TOKAIDO (1). In the mix
  13. YUQUOT – Unplaced last time, a win before that at Nantes in a Class 3 race on May 11 over 1100m. Has work to do
    Summary: TOKAIDO (1) impressed when winning a Listed contest at Chantilly and sets the standard here. The step up in distance is a slight question mark, but he looks to have the stamina and class to see out the 1,200 metres. His chief rival may be the highly regarded SCAPIN (2), who could take a significant step forward with the addition of blinkers. Runner-up to the selection last time out, ARALIA (5) will be looking to close the gap. HINATA GREY (4) returns from a freshening-up break since making a winning debut and remains a promising contender with improvement expected.

  15. SAMWEST – Two unplaced runs this year, 7th at Deauville in a Class 3 claimer on January 23 last time over 2500m. Look elsewhere
  16. ARTURO – Five unplaced runs of late, the latter on June 7 in a conditions race in Germany over 2000m , course winner in August 2025  over 1900m  in a Class 3 handicap. Course winner and merits consideration
  17. GET SET – Fair effort to be 5th over 2000m at Compiegne in a Class 3 race on May 20 on the last start. Hard to dismiss
  18. EAST GREY – Finished 8th on the last run at this track over 1900m in a handicap on November 28 2025. Might find this difficult
  19. MIYALAA – Four unplaced runs this year, the latter at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 race over 2500m on May 28. Can bounce back and be a threat
  20. SUNSHINE BABY – Unplaced last time a win previously over 2200m at Orleans in a Class 4 race on May 1.Outside place claims
    Summary: GET SET (4) may lack recent form on the all-weather surface, but this track should play to his strengths, particularly during the summer when it tends to favour prominent racers. DREAMS (1) has to concede weight to his rivals, but there are no concerns regarding his current form, and he remains a major player. Runner-up in a Quinté+ last summer, MIYALAA (6) is still searching for a return to her best level, but her past achievements suggest she cannot be overlooked. ARTURO (3) returns to the course and distance of his latest victory and could prove a danger too.

  24. LORD LINDETH – Finished 8th on the only run over 1600m at Deauville in a conditions race on October 22. Can be more effective on a new surface
  25. CANADIAN – Found Group 1 too much last time on May 31, 6th before that in a Class 2 race at Saint-Cloud on May 15 over 2000m. Place contender
  26. SPIELER – Ran with promise to be 5th at Dieppe over 1800m in a maiden on debut on June 6. Can improve from that outing

  28. WINE PALACE – Unraced colt by Whitcliffsofdover, the dam was unraced. Nice profile and he is one to watch in the betting for any support
    Summary: LORD LINDETH (4) failed to make an impact on his debut last year in very heavy ground but that effort is best overlooked. Returning under more favourable conditions, he is one to watch closely. ARANYANI (7) is being dropped back in trip following her run at Dieppe and warrants plenty of respect. WINE PALACE (8) is well regarded and makes his racecourse debut so he is best to keep on the shortlist. CANADIAN (5) faces a much less demanding assignment this time around, making him a solid candidate for the minor honours.

  37. ZAMBEZI – Solid 2nd in a Group III in Milan over 1600m on the 1st of May 2026. Packs the ability to be effective here
    Summary: ERDENALI (2) is absolutely cherishing life having won his two starts two date and Mickael Barzalona pilots him again where he could reel off the hattrick win in this Listed race. ZAMBEZI (9) ran his heart out in a Group II back in Milan finishing second and will have his ammunition ready to fire away into the winner’s enclosure. CIELO DI ROMA (5) packs ability and should not be discounted. If he puts his best foot forward, he will be at the firing line once again. MIJAS (6) can bounce back into the placings.

    Summary: NARISSA (2) produced an admirable effort when finishing fourth and she certainly holds the right accolades of the pack. She looks like the right candidate that will take some beating at the All-weather track. VATICANA (1) and ROYAL CHAPEL (6) are no strangers to each other when meeting in their last start and renew their rivalry here. Both contenders are selected to fill in the second and third place positions and certainly has the form to back them up to do so. FASHION CITY (4) can be applauded for a honest run in a Group I back at Parislongchamp and if the top choices fall asleep, she can awaken them.

    Summary: EVERSTAR (1) redeemed himself when finishing third last time out and steps into a field where he can find himself being more competitive. He could add to his winning tally. TOIMY SON (6) was mighty unlucky when just finding one better than him but will seek vengeance this time around and be poisonous at the finishing post. KIZMAMBO (5) is always in the thick of things and never finds to be out of the money of late. In this sort of event, he may very well continue earning a cheque. DEEP HOPE (3) wraps up the mix.

    Summary: AUSTRALIAN ROMANCE (4) is a consistent sort being second in command in her last effort but has the urge to break the maiden shackles off her hooves and could very well execute that here. GALA QUEEN (3) tasted success when shedding her maiden and could have her confidence on the rise where she will be trying her hardest to maintain her throne. NEW CHAPTER (2) much better effort as he stepped further in trip and if the top two fluff their lines, he could take full advantage. ADVENTURA (8) completes the quartet mix.
