R1 ENGHIEN [L-H]
C1 – PRIX DE LA GARE DE LYON – 2875m (a2m) – Class G Amateur Drivers – Harness – EUR € 12,000
- KHALIFA CEKE – Modest mare that has picked up in 2026 where she left off last season and can be overlooked
- JAVA DES TIGARDS – Failed to pull off the hat-trick when 6th in a Class G at Arras over 2900m on 21 June. Takes on a tougher lot here and is unlikely to spice things up
- JEDELWEIS D’URFIST – Finished 2nd in a Class G at Nantes over 3000m on 22 June, putting a pair of clinkers behind him. Is new to the venue but should nevertheless appreciate its profile and is worth keeping an eye on
- KAVAL BOURBON – Eliminated in a Class F at Reims over 2500m on 20 June. Has done nothing noteworthy all year and is not about to change his ways
- IDOLE DU MONCEL – Has shown improvement since returning to the amateur category. Was runner-up in a Class G at Le Croise-Laroche over 2825m on 1 June, starts on front row, and with form maintained can put in a good showing
- KYROC D’ERPION – Outclassed the opposition in a Class F at Le Croise-Laroche over 2700m on 22 June and under these conditions should be capable of doubling his money
- JAZZ DU CHATAULT – Ran 3rd at Le Touquet before losing his action at Les Andelys 2.5 weeks ago. Is clearly in shape though and from the front row can give this a good go. Place chance
- JOIE GIBUS – Has turned a corner over recent weeks, latterly pleasing under the saddle. Has been reconfigured for the occasion and will not be far from the action if form transitions
- IN LOVE WITH PUCH – Has done nothing of note at any level for past 10 months and can be dismissed
- JERICHO D’ORGERES – Faces first objective of the year after 3 conditioners. Is barefoot for the occasion, enjoys a superb entry on the front line, and must not be underestimated
- KARA DE PIERREPONT – Dominated a Class F over 2875m here on 25 June. Is 25m worse off this time but still looks good enough to contest the finish
- JARDIN D’ERABLE – Enjoyed a productive spring but has come completely off the boil and must first reaffirm
- JUPITER DU PERCHE – Already twice a winner this year and most recently ran 2nd in a 2150m Class F here on 23 June. Starts on back row but still looks a serious player
- ILOVIROIZ DI LEONE – Finished 9th in a Class E at Vichy over 2150m on 24 June. Has otherwise been holding her own in the amateur division but will struggle to make her mark this time
Summary: Recent winner of an apprentices’ race, KYROC D’ERPION (6) can follow up now that he returns to the amateur ranks. His main rivals are likely to be KARA DE PIERREPONT (11), who scored over this track last time but who will have to concede ground at the start, and JUPITER DU PERCHE (13), runner-up at this level on June 23. Racing unshod behind this time, JAZZ DU CHATAULT (7) is capable of playing a leading role at the finish.

C2 – PRIX DE MENILMONTANT – 2150m (a1m1/4) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 35,000 - NEPTUNE D’EOLE – Has done nothing but improve since his April debut, most recently making short work of a Class F at Langon over 2200m on 12 June. Benjamin Rochard gets the nod this time and will be no soft touch
- NICO DE SAINT NOM – Appears to be getting back in the game following a moderate start to the year. Will sport 4 pads as he steps up in category but nonetheless faces a tough challenge
- NIKY WAY – Eliminated in a Class D at Meslay-du-Maine over 2875m on 9 April, after having opened his account at Cordemais. Has not been seen since but is clearly in competition-mode and, with application, can wrap this up
- NEW LOOK DU GERS – Has done everything asked of him to date, most recently victorious in a Class F at Feurs over 2225m on 20 June. Benefits from a terrific entry and Alexandre Bodin will be minded to make hay
- NICOLO DE FELLIERE – Occasionally a handful but reassuring 4th in a Class C at Les Sables d’Olonne over 2775m on 27 June and will have a lot to offer here if Jerome Blavette keeps him focused
- NOBEL DU GERS – Eliminated in a Class D at Vichy over 2950m on 29 June, but has otherwise shown promise. Starts in front, sporting a new formula, and Nicolas Bazire will be eager to set the record straight
- NEWTON LANDING – Returns to racing competitively-shod after his Caen comeback in mid-June. Will have progressed for the run and cannot be discounted
- NEWTON DE CORS – Placed on debut last October but flopped in next 2. Starts for the first time since December and even with pads fitted is not a priority
- NOROMAOR – Eliminated at Le Mans on 25 May first time out. Sports 4 pads on this occasion and should not be far from the action if Mathieu Mottier keeps him focused
- NORFOLK DE TILLARD – Has shown promise, and most recently ran 4th in a Laval Class E, but Eric Raffin has opted for another and cannot be considered a contender
- NAKANO BELLO – Eliminated in a Class E at La Capelle over 2700m on 19 June after having won on debut in late-May. Is not a priority but on good behaviour can play a small role
- NOBLE BARRA – Pleasant fifth on re-entry in a Class E at La Capelle over 2700m on 19 June. Will have progressed for the race but is still being conditioned and best to hold off
- NEW LOVE BLUE – Not disgraced when third in a Class E at Mont St Michel over 2600m on 30 June, but has yet to really prove himself going left-handed. Has been reconfigured but others still easier to support
Summary: At Meslay-du-Maine on April 9, NIKY WAY (3) was still travelling well and very much in contention when he lost his action. Reunited with Eric Raffin, he can make amends on his seasonal return. The main opposition should come from NEPTUNE D’EOLE (1), entrusted to Benjamin Rochard, NICOLO DE FELLIERE (5), provided he stays in stride, and NOBEL DU GERS (6), who races with hind pads fitted this time.

C3 – PRIX JEAN PAUL FAIRAND – 2875m (a2m) – Gr3 Amateur Riders – Mounted – EUR € 90,000 - JUPITER DE PLAY – Recently returned to form in the Gr.3 Prix Guillaume de Bellaigue here 2 weeks ago, finishing only behind the champion Impala De Val. Claim
- JUST FOR BACK – Quality individual making first appearance since February. Has nothing to prove at this level and will be dangerous if sufficiently well-prepared
- INDIGO DU PORET – Had won twice in good style at Vincennes before being disqualified at the start at Enghien. Already a winner with Eva Bouclet and must be considered a priority
- GOLD VOICE – Sprang a 79-1 surprise when 5th in Gr.3 Prix Paul Delanoë across town early last month. Has been re-shod though and is unlikely to repeat
- HYMNE DU GERS – Has placed just once in 3 starts under the saddle but that was at Gr.3 level. Will be barefoot for the occasion, with Cléa Roger in the saddle, and is unlikely to disappoint
- KELLY DE BANVILLE – Serious mare with form at the highest level. Has not raced since January but will be barefoot and should not be underestimated
- GRANIT MESLOIS – Finished 8th in a Groupe III at Vincennes over 2850m on 4 April. Has not been seen out since and, even though barefoot, is not a concern
- FAKIR MERITE – Produced a 76-1 surprise when 3rd in a Toulouse Class A under harness early last month. Has shown some monte potential but will have too much to do this time
- HANNIBAL TUILERIE – Enjoys a good entry here but has struggled of late and finished 8th in a Class A at Vincennes over 2850m on 21 June. In this small field though, a place in first 5 is not out of the question
Summary: Twice a winner here before losing his action over course and distance a fortnight ago, INDIGO DU PORET (3) must be afforded another chance. JUPITER DE PLAY (1), an excellent second in the Prix Guillaume de Bellaigue, and JUST FOR BACK (2), who races barefoot for his comeback, look the main dangers. Presented barefoot for her return to competition, 6 year-old KELLY DE BANVILLE (6) deserves plenty of respect.

C4 – PRIX DE ROCHECHOUART – 2875m (a2m) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 46,000 - KIBORA BUISSONAY – Only modest of late and finished 6th in a Class F at Enghien over 2150m on 1 July. Has too much ground to make up
- KILLARNEY – Won here last August but has done nothing of note since. Was found wanting on re-entry and must step up her game
- KAYA DU SAPTEL – Useful trotter but has not been seen out since mid-January and is going to need the race
- KISS ME DE MADKER – Has been going good-guns since winning at Graignes in March. Was third in a Class D at Laval over 2850m on 19 June and can again challenge for a place in the frame
- KOREA – Finished last of 9 at Caen on re-entry a month back. Is seldom far from the action though, but in this category may just be taking on too much
- KELOMA DREAM – Scored her 2nd of the year when tenacious winner of a Caen Class D 12 days ago. Has yet to show any love for Enghien but in current condition cannot be discounted either
- KASSIOPEE DREAM – Produced some good efforts during the spring but was trounced at Ecommoy on 31 May and will need to reassure
- KWALITA SUPREME – Not the easiest of horses to handle but has buckets of ability. Is plainly in race-mode and can win this if applied
- KALINA PRINCESS – Failed to confirm earlier success when unplaced at Ranes 2.5 weeks ago. Is reunited with her handler however who will be determined to put things right
- KAPELLA VET – Made up for Pontchateau clinker when 4th in a Laval Class D on 25 June. Still has ground to make up but sports 4 pads for the first time and is unlikely to let the side down
- KYOKA BOCNEUF – Has ample ability but has yet to deliver this term. Has previously won under these conditions though and will be barefoot again
- KARLA DE BANVILLE – Sports a new configuration after failing to deliver at Royan in late-May. Comes here fresh, enjoys a terrific entry, and the new formula may be just the ticket
Summary: Presented barefoot for her seasonal return, KWALITA SUPREME (8) from the red-hot Romain Derieux yard looks capable of winning a race like this. Judged on her penultimate performance, KALINA PRINCESS (9) appears the main danger. Well-engaged here and re-shod for the occasion, KARLA DE BANVILLE (12) has the ability to figure prominently, while KISS ME DE MADKER (4) is in good form and also has strong claims.

C5 – PRIX QUIPROQUO II – 2875m (a2m) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 46,000 - LEO DES MALBERAUX – Ran encouraging 2nd at Chateaubriant but failed to confirm at Le Mont-Saint-Michel last week. Sports pads this time but others still preferred
- LUXE D’ERABLE – Ran 3rd at Vincennes prior to coming 4th in a Class E at Bernay over 2800m on 28 June. Will be shod as he was that day and is one to keep an eye on
- LAWMAN – Out of sorts in last 2, latterly 7th in a Class D at Laval over 2850m on 25 June. Sports 4 pads for first time in almost 2 years and cannot be discounted
- LUTIN DES ARRIS – Judged by his penultimate outing here, when fourth behind LUTIN DE BAFFAIS (11) and LOUIS QUATORZE (7), he has a chance of making the frame
- LAUTREC QUICK – Has not been seen out since running 3rd in a Vincennes Class C in December and is going to need the race
- LIVE YOUR DREAMS – In the frame in last 2, most recently runner-up in a Class D at Vincennes over 2700m on 5 June. Is unlikely to win this but can nevertheless contest a place in the picture
- LOUIS QUATORZE – Despite racing without cover for much of the second half of the race, he still managed to snatch third from LUTIN DES ARRIS (4) here on May 23 and looks the main threat
- LUCIFER DU PONT – Never far from faulting but has no shortage of ability. Faces first objective of 2026 and with application can make this his own
- LUCIFER DU CAIEU – Made short work of an Agen Class E on 20 June. Goes barefoot again but at this level will have too much to do
- LOTHBROCK – Has done nothing but improve lately, most recently comfortable winner of an Hyeres Class D a fortnight ago. Is not a priority but could still get a look in
- LUTIN DE BAFFAIS – Nicely-engaged here and was most recently an excellent runner-up in a Class D over course and distance on 23 May. Place prospect
Summary: With a run under his belt and competitively-shod this time, LUCIFER DU PONT (8) has the class to play a leading role here. LOUIS QUATORZE (7), who performed very well last time, along with LUTIN DE BAFFAIS (11) and LIVE YOUR DREAMS (6), both currently in good form, will try to make life difficult for him.

C6 – PRIX SERGE CHAVATTE – 2150m (a1m1/4) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 53,000 - LOLA DU CAMPUS – Excellent runner-up in a monte Class D at Vincennes over 2200m on 3 April. Has not been seen since and will have little to offer
- LA DIVA SUPREME – Eliminated in a Class C at Vincennes over 2700m on 6 June, continuing her poor run of form this year, and can be passed over
- MIRISS DE GUEZ – Benefits from a terrific draw but has just the one race in her since the layoff. Is competitively-shod for the first time but still not a priority
- LOVELY WILMA – Was fourth, a place behind GOGGIA (15), in a Class C at Enghien over 2150m on 26 June. Has not put a foot wrong this year and is ideally-positioned to win a race of this nature
- LAGUNE PIYA – Has struggled so far this term, most recently finishing 9th in a Class B at Vichy over 2150m on 11 May. Comes here fresh but is still not a concern
- LADY BIRD JENILAT – Was third in a Class C at Caen over 2200m on 9 May. Has been rested since, but won last time here, and will generate some interest
- MARILOU – Has yet to win this month but ran valiant 5th in 26 June race of reference. Starts wide on front row this time and has the wherewithal to finish in the mix
- LEA D’ATOUT – Lost her action in race of reference but is plainly in good shape. Will be reunited with Mathieu Mottier who will be keen to put things right
- FREISA ROC – Has held her own since returning to France. Was fourth in a Class D at Vincennes over 2100m on 12 June, after having won there a month earlier, and despite the draw must be taken seriously
- GIAVA WISE L – Capable at home in Italy but was trounced in race of reference and is not about to create an upset
- PANERAI – Was not disgraced when 7th in 26 June race of reference. Has ground to make up but still cannot be ruled out
- LA FORMIDABLE – Got back in the game at Caen in May prior to coming courageous 6th in race of reference. Has been allocated a tougher number this time and looks a minor place chance at best
- FACE TIME SPADA – Serious mare at home in Austria. Is not ideally-drawn for her French bow but has nothing to prove over the distance and looks competitive for a place on the podium
- MOSAIC LIFE – Group-class filly but simply can’t keep her action together and will have few, if any, friends
- GOGGIA – Won across town early last month before coming 3rd in a Class C at Enghien over 2150m on 26 June. Set personal best that day and even though poorly-drawn here she still looks the one to beat
- MANHATTAN RAIN – Eliminated in a Groupe II at Solvalla over 1640m on 31 May, her first start for over 2 months. Is new to Enghien but has pulled a rough number and others preferred
Summary: We can return with confidence to the June 26 race under these conditions where GOGGIA (15), a reconfigured LOVELY WILMA (4), and MARILOU (7) finished third, fourth and fifth, respectively. We can slot FREISA ROC (9) in between them after she showed plenty of ability in her last two starts at Vincennes, along with FACE TIME SPADA (13), winner of the 2025 Austrian Derby.

C7 – PRIX DE BERTINCOURT – 2875m (a2m) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 35,000 - MATHUSALEM PIYA – Ran second in a Class F at Bernay over 2800m on 28 June. Has bags of ability, and also a temperament, but with stride in check could pleasantly surprise
- MURO – Starts for the first time since being eliminated in a Class E at Lyon-Parilly over 2600m on 14 April. Has been reconfigured and in this company is unlikely to make his mark
- MYSTIC MAN – Not disgraced when fifth in a Class D at Laval over 2850m on 25 June, after having placed in previous 2. Takes on a better bunch this time but picking up minor honours is still within his capability
- MINK BOKO – Produced some fine performances at home before being eliminated in a Class D at Le Croise-Laroche over 2700m on 20 May. Should appreciate the Enghien profile though and on good behaviour can make amends and finish in the mix
- MYKONOS – Quality element with just the one race under his belt since the lengthy layoff. Sports a fresh configuration this time though and should prove competitive at the business end of the race
- MISTER FRIPOUILLE – Made up somewhat for Vincennes blip when fourth in a Class D at Lisieux over 2725m on 7 June, but still has more to find
- MARDONIOS – Runner-up in 2 before coming fourth in a Class E over longer here on 13 June. Receives an Eric Raffin drive for the first time and will be expected to bring the fight to MISTER MORO (11)
- MALDINI ELLIS – Twice impressive during the spring but was dominated across town a month back and will need to find considerably more
- MISSILE DE TAGOR – Finished 6th in a Class D at Caen over 2450m on 22 June, failing to confirm his Lisieux performance a fortnight earlier, and can be passed over
- MONTJOIE – Won 2 of 3 before being sent for a break last August. Is padded for comeback, will have work behind him, and considering the entry must be respected
- MISTER MORO – Third in a Class D at Laval over 2850m on 25 June. Has not put a foot wrong so far this year and with Mathieu Mottier reining can expect the lion’s share of support
- MAJOR DU RUISSEAU – Never the easiest of horses to gauge. Has twice failed to confirm May success and others easier to trust
- MALKO MESLOIS – Left a decent impression on re-entry at Caen, coming 4th in a Class D over 2450m on 22 June. Is unlikely to get his nose in front but is still a respectable first-5 chance
Summary: After finishing strongly at Laval last time, MISTER MORO (11) looks capable of making his presence felt in this event. He will still need to be wary of MARDONIOS (7), who is entrusted to Eric Raffin, MYKONOS (5), who should not be judged too harshly for his latest defeat, and MONTJOIE (10), who sports 4 pads for his seasonal return.

C8 – PRIX DE L’OPERA – 2150m (a1m1/4) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 68,000 - READLY LAVEC – Went out on a high-note at Romme last October and picked up at Visby a month ago where he left off. Presents solid Enghien references and can impose
- HORS BORD – Gives a good account for the most part but has been out of sorts over recent months and first needs to re-establish his credentials
- KINGSLAYER PELLINI – Outclassed the opposition in a Class A at Toulouse over 2950m on 5 June, making it 5 wins from 6 starts in 2026. Has pulled a good number and Christophe Martens will have his eye on the four-timer
- GABY DES VALS – Moderate veteran making first appearance of the year and is not about to shake things up
- JOUR DE FETE – Third in a Class C at Enghien over 2875m on 1 July. Has won at this level in the other code and latest effort bodes well for his chances
- HAIDA SAUTONNE – Returns to the harness code following a pair of good monte runs in Sweden, but is here for reasons of conditioning
- GAMIN DES ISLES – Honest trotter that seldom lets the side down, even though now aged 10. Fourth, a place behind JOUR DE FETE (5), in a Class C over 2875m here on 1 July, and looks eminently capable of making first 5
- JACOMO BELLO – Has been a model of consistency over recent weeks and made short work of his rivals in a Class C at Enghien over 2875m on 13 June. breaks wide but is clearly at the top of his game and can secure the hat-trick
- HISA DU MARGAS – Has returned modestly to competition following a spell. Will be shod to preference this time but others still preferred
- MAX OCCAGNES – Failed to secure the hat-trick at Cabourg last week when losing all chance at the start. Has no Enghien references, but is unbeaten with Eric Raffin reining and should be taken seriously
- HALO AM – Sent for a layup after enduring a woeful start to the year. Is competitively-shod for comeback but still not an obvious choice
- JOLIVERT DU GERS – In the thick of things for the most part but is in conditioning-mode this time and best to keep one’s powder dry
- HOTKATISSIME – Capable element but has not been seen out since August 2025 and is going to need the race
- SCHAMPUS – Showed some improvement when fourth in a Class C at Vincennes over 2700m on 12 June. Returns to a trip he appreciates and will be no pushover if Gabriele Gelormini successfully negotiates the start
Summary: Eye-catching here last summer, READLY LAVEC (1) returned from a break with a winning comeback in Sweden. Drawn perfectly behind the car and blessed with good early speed, with Paul Ploquin he looks capable of getting the better of his older rivals. He will still want to be wary of JACOMO BELLO (8), who is at the top of his game and has an excellent record at Enghien, KINGSLAYER PELLINI (3), who is currently better than ever, and SCHAMPUS (14), who caught the eye when finishing fourth at Vincennes on June 12.
GAMIN DES ISLES (7) has quickly returned to peak form after a lengthy absence; he goes well for Esteban De Jésus and looks capable of making the frame.

C1 – PRIX DE L’OUEST – 3400m (a2m1/8) – TURF – Class 4 – Hurdles – EUR € 21,000
- MATIGNON LEON – He has not made the frame in four runs, the latter over this track and trip in a Class 4 hurdle on June 28 when 5th of 16 runners, which was a much better effort. Hard to rule out
- OVALIE – Ran well to be 2nd at Senonnes in a hurdle race over 3600m on March 13 when last seen. Live chance of scoring
- HALTREE DES OBEAUX – Two unplaced efforts so far, failed to complete the course last time over 3600m in a Class 3 hurdle at Auteuil on April 25. Hard to recommend
- MISS TAHOE – Not seen since a 5th at Lyon Parilly in a claiming hurdle over 3400m on November 22. Fitness to prove but warrants respect
- MOON LIGHT SOMOZA – Two tame effort last year, when he failed to complete the course over 3550m in a Class 4 hurdle at Fontainebleau on the latest on October 28, 2025. One to avoid
- BACCHUS D’ALLIER – Fell on his sole run over 3500m in a Class 3 hurdle at Auteuil on May 30. Can make amends anf be involved with a better round of jumping
- HOLALA HAS – Below par on the last run in August over hurdles in 2025, a win before that over 3500m in a Class 4 hurdle at Rochefort-Sur -Loire on August 4, 2025. Place chance
- MACAO ROQUE – Unplaced on all four runs, 5th on the latest over 3600m at Senonnes in a hurdle race on March 13. Look elsewhere
- FORLIA DU FOUQUET – Well beaten over this track and trip on June 18 in a Class 4 hurdle over 3400m on her sole start. Unlikely to be a threat
Summary: OVALIE (2) ran well to be second at Senonnes in mid-March over hurdles and has strong claims for going one place better in a racing lacking in depth. MATIGNON LEON (1) ran his best race so far when he was fifth over this track and trip last month and is slowly improving with race experience. He can make things interesting, as can MISS TAHOE (4) if she is fit form a layoff having shown promise last year over hurdles. BACCHUS D’ALLIER (6) completes the shortlist.

- ZAYINA – Absent since a 2nd over 3550m at Fontainebleau in a Class 2 handicap hurdle on December 9. Fitness to prove but from a trainer that will have her ready to go
- LA BELLE HISTOIRE – Ran well to be 3rd over 3700m in a Class 4 hurdle at Jallais on June 13 when last seen. Ought to be thereabouts
- LIEGE ARDENT – Three unplaced runs of late, failed to complete the course at Clairefontaine on the latest over 3600m in a handicap hurdle on June 24. Capable of bouncing back to form
- VADIVAR – Two unplaced runs this year, 5th on the most recent over 3500m at Royan in a Class 3 hurdle on April 19. He will be fitter today and warrants consideration
- PUNCHEUR – Not seen since a 6th at Jarnac in a claiming hurdle over 3800m on September 14. Unlikely to trouble the main protagonists
- MESSY – Fair 4th at Clairefontaine in a handicap hurdle on June 24 over 3600m when last seen. Might find a few too smart
- SIRENE SUCCESS – Non partante
- TAGANAY – Finished 8th on the flat in a maiden on the flat over 2400m on June 23 when last seen. 4th in a Class 5 chase at Orleans in April is the best of recent form over jumps. Opposable
- BREEZE D’AUTEUIL – Out of form this year with five unplaced efforts, 8th in a claiming chase at Auteuil over 3700m on April 13 when last seen. Pass over
Summary: ZAYINA (2) has an absence to deal with but she should be well prepared by her astute trainer and was a good second in Class 2 handicap hurdle when last seen in December. She can edge this over L’OREE DES BLAISES (1), who ran with encouragement when fifth at this track in a handicap hurdle in mid June. LIEGE ARDENT (4) is better than recent form figures and he did win over fences in late March at Saumur and has each-way aspirations. VADIVAR (5) is another worth considering.

- ZVALIKOVA – Recent 3rd over 2100m in a Class 3 claimer at Parislongchamp on June 15 when last seen. Among the leading chances
- SPEEDSTER – Not beaten far when 6th last time over 2300m at Angers in a Class 3 handicap on June 8. Hard to dismiss
- ADVERSARY – Two unplaced runs this year, 7th at Compiegne when last seen in a conditions race on June 9 over 1800m. Looks vulnerable
- SWIFT FLIGHT – Creditable effort when 5th at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on June 14 over 1800m on his last start. One to consider each-way
- MAVERICK PREMIER – Failed to finish last time in a Class 5 claiming chase over 3800m at Pontivy on May 1, and unplaced efforts before that on the flat. Can be opposed
- LORIA – Fair 5th last time over 1500m at Deauville in a Class 3 race on June 27. Capable of being involved
- PUNICA – Finished 5th last time out over 2100m at Pornichet in a Class 4 handicap on January 24. Might need this run after a layoff
Summary: SPEEDSTER (3) could be the answer in this open Class 4 contest. He was not beaten far on his latest start at Angers in early June and gets the tentative vote ahead of ALKIDAN (1), who finished a close fifth in a Class 3 handicap at Parislongchamp on June 15. ZVALIKOVA (2) has solid each-way claims after a good third in a Class 3 race at Parislongchamp in mid-June. LORIA (7) completes the shortlist.

- LEDESMA – Placed on all three starts, with a solid effort on the latest when 2nd in a maiden over 2400m at La Teste on June 11. Live chance
- DALERIYAN – Well beaten on the sole start over 2100m on February 18 in a maiden race on the PSF. One to watch for the time being
- ALBATROS DU VENT – Finished 8th on the one run over 2100m at Savenay in a maiden race on May 24. Has to show a good deal more to be a threat
- SOUDYA – Solid effort to be 3rd at Saint-Cloud in a handicap on May 5 over 2400m last time. Among the leading chances
- SPOTTED TAIL – She has not featured in two runs, the latter over 2500m at Argentan on June 10 in maiden race. Hard to fancy
- LAMELOISE – Showed promise to be 5th on her debut over 2400m at this track on June 6. Open to improvement and warrants attention each-way
- ORASHI – Recent 3rd over 2100m at Cholet on June 1 in a maiden race on her third run. She is improving and warrants respect
Summary: LEDESMA (4) has been threatening to win in his three runs so far, the latest when he was a strong finisher to be second at La Teste in early June. He should get deserved success at the expense of SAINT MONCHIK (3), who has shown a nice amount of talent and was a creditable fourth at Argentan on the most recent. SOUDYA (7) has solid each-way credentials after a recent effort at Saint-Cloud when third in a handicap in May. LAMELOISE (9) makes up the shortlist.

C5 – PRIX DE CAMBOURG – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 11,500 - JOHNNY DRIVE – Tad below par last time, a solid 3rd before that on May 16 at this track over 2400m in a handicap was a better effort. Key chance
- CIRCION CHOP – Four unplaced runs of late, well beaten over 1800m at Clairefontaine in a handicap on July 3 when last seen. Lacks consistency and can be opposed
- INDY – Did not fire last time on June 13, 3rd before that at Nantes in a claimer over 2400m on May 29. One to pay attention to
- ZOLIA D’OROUX – Finished 5th last time over 2400m at this track in a claimer on June 23. Capable of making the top three
- RENVERSANTE – Finished 6th on her last outing over 1800m in a claimer at La Teste on June 28. Among the leading each way options
- SONDER EDITION – Showed more to be 6th over 2400m in a claimer at this track on June 23 when last seen on her second start. Lightly raced and has more to come
- LABELLEGNAC – Finished 8th on the last run over 2100m at Cholet in a maiden race on June 1. Drops in class but has to show a good deal more to make the frame
- PULCINELLO – Unplaced last time over 2400m at Dieppe over 2400m in a claiming race on June 23. Hard to fancy
- LA BELLE DE BELLEM – Better effort when 4th at Erbray in a claimer on her second start over 2200m on June 21. In the mix with progress expected
- AMELIORE – She has been unplaced on all three runs, the most recent over 2400m at this track in a claimer on June 23. Hardly inspiring
Summary: JOHNNY DRIVE (1) was a pleasing third over this track and trip in a handicap in May two runs back and can make his presence felt in this class of race. His main danger could be INDY (3), who can put a below par effort behind him last time and is best judged on his third at Nantes on his penultimate start. ZOLIA D’OROUX (4) and RENVERSANTE (5) can dual for minor honours.

- BELLE VICTORIA – Two unplaced runs, the latter when a modest 11th in a maiden race at Compiegne over 2400m on April 25. Hard to recommend

- KEEN LADY – Recent 2nd in a maiden at this track over 2400m on June 23. She has been second several times and can get off the mark
- MA REINE – Unplaced over hurdles last time, 3rd before that on the flat at La-Roche-Posay in a conditions race over 2400m on May 17. Has work to do
- EMOTIVO – She was unplaced last time on June 13, 2nd before that over 3400m at Moulins in a maiden on May 9. Might find a few of these too smart
- BLACK SUGAR – Better effort on his last start when 3rd in a maiden at this track over 2400m on June 23. Each way player
- DIONYSOS FORLONGE – Gelding by Waldpark, the dam ran a few times unplaced. Can improve for this debut run unless the betting speaks volumes
Summary: KEEN LADY (8) has been consistent with several second placed efforts, the latest over this track and trip in late June. She should be too smart for TORREADOR (4), who ran well to be third in a Class 3 handicap at Parislongchamp in late May when last seen. THE LAST FOAL (5) can be forgiven for the latest run and is best judged on his second in May at Chateaubriant in a maiden. BLACK SUGAR (11) is also worth a mention.

- PURPLE RAY – She has shown very little in three starts, 9th on the latter over 1900m at Deauville on the PSF in a maiden on December 29. Turf debut and is best watched
- NOVA DU CHENET – Three unplaced runs, 7th on the latter over 2650m in a maiden race at Chateaubriant on May 24. Hardly inspiring
Summary: POET’S LYRICS (1) ran well over this track and trip when second late last month in a handicap and can get off the mark today. Her main threat could be EMPRESS OF LIGHT (5), who won her maiden in May and has acquitted herself well on her two runs since that success. ALL IN PINK (8) has been knocking at the door with two recent second place efforts and looks like the best option each-way. XTRAMOUR (2) won in March and has been highly tried since. Back in calmer waters today looks like a positive.

Her stablemate NOLA DU VIVIER (12), provided she keeps her stride could chase her home. The imposing NUAGE BLANC (2) could be worth another chance. The tricky NORIANO BELLO (8) showed some improvement last time out and can get into the frame this time around.

She will need to be wary of MAYA DE LA FYE (7) who isbarefoot for the first time and partnered by Yoann Lebourgeois. MALAVYSKA EMESS (14), is in top form and clearly a danger. Thelast-start winner MARBELLA TEJY (12), once again presented without shoes can also get into the thick of things.

Summary: A very competitive lucky last race. AVOTTE MADRIK (18) enjoys this track and should make a bold bid at winning a race of this nature. She will need to be wary of JULIANO STILE (17), who remains inconsistent but quite capable of winning when in the right mood. UST A MAN (14) is unreliable and has disqualification issues but is not out of it. JOKER DU LEVANT (10), well placed on the front line also has to be considered a possible winner.

Summary: KALAFA (2) won at this track two runs back over 2100m in May and was a solid fourth on her latest start at this track early last month. She can get the better of ARTURO (8), who was not beaten far when last appearing at Baden-Baden on his last run in June. LOLLIPOP DES PINS (5) could be a sensible option for the each -way backers to latch on to, and LA BONITA (3) is another to pay attention to and can be involved at the finish.

Summary: MARSIHO (12) has been consistent with four placed efforts recently, the latest when third at Nantes in June. He is a previous course and distance winner in May. He could have the most to fear from MAKAROV (4) , who was second over the track and trip in early June when last appearing. TIZIAN (3) can bounce back from a below par run last time and has each-way claims. MON BLACK DU LIVET (13) arrives in good shape after success at Compiegne in June and has to be respected.

Summary: EL KRAKEN (1) has been in top form this year with five recent solid efforts. The most recent at Deauville late in June when second. He is preferred ahead of IMPARATOR (7), who will strip fitter today after a recent outing and can be involved at the finish. PERGOLOR (9) can play a leading role, he is wearing blinkers today which should help him focus more. BOLKHOV (4) is another to consider and should be involved at the business end.

Summary: ALABAMA MOON (2) scored on the PSF at Chantilly in mid-June with a game success in a Class 3 race last time and is given the nod back on turf. Her main threat could be ZANGAR (1), who can bounce back to form after a couple of runs recently, having been hampered last time at Nantes. HEY VINCE (3) is a course winner last September and can produce more than his last two runs over distances on the sharp side. FRANKLIN AL GUNAY (4) is another to consider each-way after a recent third at Lyon Parilly in June.

Summary: OSHIA (3) has been holding consistent form this year and looks just about ready to win again. She ticks all the right boxes and will be the one to beat. BULLET ANT (4) has just found one too good at his last two and could certainly go one better in this event. Rates as the main threat. NEW YORK MELODY (8) is better than her under par latest run and has earning potential. GARIGA (7) will be at peak fitness for this and should have more improvement to come.

Summary: HYPERCORE (1) has been running against far stronger than what he meets here and is rated to win quite well. He sets a clear standard and will be hard to oppose. MONONOF (4) has also been facing tougher and will appreciate the drop in class. He gets 4.5kgs from the top choice and appears to be the immediate danger. AMRITA (7) is bang in form at present and looks to make it three in a row. He meets better quality horses but shouldn’t be disgraced. STORMY DONALD (3) hasn’t been sighted in recent outings but is capable off far more and could sneak into a minor spot.

Summary: GOGUEN SPAISE (5) has been steadily dropping in the ratings and looks to be off the right mark to produce a big finish. He can build on current form. IPSO FACTO (1) is no doubt the form chance here and having been touched off last time out, he will be looking to go one better with valuable weight off the back. MODERN SPIRIT (3) was behind the second pick last time out and should be held on that but will be competitive. BENIMARU (2) is a bit better his current form reads and he can run into the money.

Summary: SENEQUE (2) has been holding excellent form since his maiden win and will be a major contender once again. He returns off a layoff but will likely be fit and ready to fire up. EBIYAR (1) was tested at Group level two starts back and followed that up with a near miss in second. He is primed to strike here. GLOBAL ASSET (8) put her act together nicely to win last time out and will have a lot more to come. She is hard to ignore. YMEEELIH (5) is in useful touch at present and should deliver another encouraging performance.
