R1 DEAUVILLE-LA TOUQUES [DEAUVILLE-LA TOUQUES]

C1 – HARAS DE FRESNAY-LE-BUFFARD PRIX DE TANCARVILLE – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 45,700

  1. MAJNOUN – A two-year-old colt by Wootton Bassett out of Malicious who is making his debut. His dam won once in 7 starts but was placed twice in Listed races. Should be ready to score
  2. TRIPOLITAIN – A two-year-old colt by Blue Point out of Symposium who is making his debut. His dam won a handicap. Capable of earning some money
  3. AIBAR – A two-year-old colt by Kingman out of Provocateuse who is making his debut. His dam won once in 6 starts. Can be ready for this
  4. IMPERIAL STRIKE – A two-year-old colt by Lucky Vega out of Smart Dorie who is making his debut. His dam never raced in France. Can challenge for top honours
  5. TAKAVOR – A two-year-old colt by Goken out of Minnipa who is making his debut. His dam won once in 7 starts. Capable of making the frame
  6. OUD ILAM – A two-year-old colt by Galiway out of Tishka who is making his debut. His dam never won a race after 11 starts. Can contest the finish
  7. MAHASIAH – A two-year-old colt by Donjuan Triumphant out of Armelle d’Haguenet who is making his debut. His dam never won a race after ten starts. Could need this experience
    Summary: By top sire Wootton Bassett and out of a Galileo mare, the Graffard-trained MAJNOUN (1) is likely to start as a strong favourite. Watch out for the Fabre-trained IMPERIAL STRIKE (4), whose pedigree suggests precocity. Closely related to our selection, AIBAR (3) is also likely to attract plenty of support. Partnered by Maxime Guyon, TAKAVOR (5) does not make the trip to Normandy without ambition so must be respected.
    SELECTIONS
    MAJNOUN (1) – IMPERIAL STRIKE (4) – AIBAR (3) – TAKAVOR (5)
    C2 – HARAS DE FRESNAY-LE-BUFFARD PRIX DE LISIEUX – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 45,700
  8. HAVANISTA – A two-year-old filly by Havana Gray out of So Hi Society who is making her debut. Her dam won once and was placed fourth in a Group 2. Monitor the betting
  9. PERKA FAL – A two-year-old filly by Kameko out of Perfect Melody who is making her debut. Her dam was unraced in France. Others make more appeal
  10. ALDAYEN – A two-year-old filly by Bayside Boy out of Schmusli who is making her debut. Her dam never won after four starts. Could need this experience
  11. OISEAU BLEU – A two-year-old filly by Blue Point out of Miss Kittyhawk who is making her debut. Her dam was unraced in France. Can make the frame
  12. PERLE DE LUNE – A two-year-old filly by City Light out of Keepthedreamalive who is making her debut. Her dam never won a race after 4 starts. Could need this experience
  13. PRIMETIME EMMY – A two-year-old filly by Extreme Choice out of Princess Emmy who is making her debut. Her dam was unraced in France. Can score
  14. SAOUDIENNE – A two-year-old filly by Olympic Glory out of Adriana who is making her debut. Her dam never raced in France. Can contest the finish
  15. AMNESIA – A two-year-old filly by Showcasing out of Gonzeville who is making her debut. Her dam never won a race after 5 starts. Should be competitive
  16. VERITE VRAI – A two-year-old filly by Armor out of Shazia who is making her debut. Her dam won once in 7 starts. Can make the frame
  17. DIVINA FE – A two-year-old filly by Calyx out of Serendib’s Glory who is making her debut. Her dam never raced in France. Could need this experience
    Summary: By an Australian sire and out of a New Zealand mare—two countries renowned for producing top-class sprinters—PRIMETIME EMMY (6) could prove very quick. SAOUDIENNE (7) represents the somewhat unusual Rouget/Guyon combination and commands respect. Always effective with juveniles, the Lerner stable saddles the well-bred AMNESIA (8). The pedigree of OISEAU BLEU (4) also warrants close attention as well.
    SELECTIONS
    PRIMETIME EMMY (6) – SAOUDIENNE (7) – AMNESIA (8) – OISEAU BLEU (4)
    C3 – HARAS DE FRESNAY-LE-BUFFARD PRIX DE BALLEROY – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 52,800
  18. MAI DIRE MAI – Not reliable and finished 7th in a Listed race at Chantilly over this distance on 31 May. Capable of earning some money on best form
  19. WESTMINSTER CHERRY – Did not show his best when tenth in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on 5 May. Has been at best on the PSF but could be a threat to these rivals
  20. ARDEN MIST – Has only been modest this year and was 8th in a handicap at ParisLongchamp over 1600m on 18 June. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  21. TANQUES – Consistent and finished fourth in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over this distance on 12 June. First time in a handicap but should contest the finish
  22. ZAHARA – Improving and was victorious in a handicap at Chantilly over this distance on 4 May. Carries a penalty but can double up
  23. VIZIOSA – Has only been fair of late and was fifth in a handicap at Dieppe over 1100m on 6 June. Needs to do a bit more to score
  24. MISTER GEORGE – Finished fourth last time out in a claimer at Chantilly over this distance on 19 June. Might play a minor role at very best
  25. ORYA – Not disgraced when fifth in a Conditions race at Dax over 1400m on 29 June. Tries a handicap and could play a minor role
  26. MARBELLESA – Consistent and finished third in a Conditions race at Angers over 1350m on 8 June. Can make the frame trying a handicap
  27. ROZARION – Did not show his best when 8th in a handicap at ParisLongchamp over 1400m on 11 June. Can bounce back to beat these rivals
  28. ELEGANTE WOMAN – Not reliable and finished 11th in a handicap at Dax over 1400m on 18 May. Needs to do more to beat these rivals
  29. MISS DE PANAME – Off form and finished 11th in a handicap at ParisLongchamp over 1400m on 11 June. More is needed to score
  30. NAY – Returned to form and was runner-up in a handicap at ParisLongchamp over 1400m on 11 June. Can go one place better
  31. SHY FEELING – Finished third in a Conditions race at Marseille-Borély over 1200m on 12 June. Tries a handicap and is not out of it
  32. GOUTTES DE DIEU – Has struggled of late and finished 11th in a handicap at ParisLongchamp over 1400m on 11 June. Capable of better but others are preferred
  33. DAISY DAISY – Has only been modest of late and finished 6th in a claimer at Chantilly over this distance on 19 March. Needs to find a few lengths to win
    Summary: ROZARION (10). Trained by Mikel Delzangles, he has been knocking on the door and should not be judged on his latest run, where he was unlucky. The fillies NAY (13), for whom Jérôme Reynier has expressed strong confidence, and MARBELLESA (9), who should appreciate this track, look best placed to challenge him. TANQUES (4) has a good rapport with Alexis Pouchin and is always reliable, so he can be trusted. MARBELLESA (9) is consistent and should contest the finish.
    SELECTIONS
    ROZARION (10) – NAY (13) – MARBELLESA (9) – TANQUES (4)
    C4 – HARAS DE FRESNAY-LE-BUFFARD PRIX DE BRICQUEBEC – 1900m (a1m1/4) – ALL WEATHER – – Flat – EUR € 21,100
  34. PRINCESSE BLONDE – Not reliable and finished fifth in a handicap at Chantilly over 1600m on 24 June. Capable of being a threat over this course and distance
  35. DOUBLE EFFECT – Successful last time out in a handicap at Chantilly over 1800m on 19 June. Probably better on the grass but can score carrying a penalty
  36. BURATTINA – Unreliable but was victorious in a claimer at Compiègne over 1800m on 13 June. Tackles tougher but is not out of it
  37. KAPETANIOS – Not reliable and finished fifth in a handicap at Lyon-La Soie over 2150m on 24 February. Could need this run returning from a break
  38. SEIGNEUR – Not reliable and finished 6th in a handicap at Compiègne over 2000m on 13 June. Not out of it in this line-up
  39. KUPKA – Unreliable and finished 7th in a handicap at ParisLongchamp over 2500m on 24 May. Drops in distance and can earn some money
  40. DARNETAL – Not reliable but did finish fourth in a handicap at Aix-les-Bains over 2000m on 30 June. Might play a minor role at very best
  41. GIUSEPPE BALLOCCO – Unreliable and was unplaced in a handicap at Compiègne over 1600m on 9 June. Needs major improvement to win
  42. ACCLAM – Only modest of late and finished 7th in a handicap at Chantilly over 1600m on 24 June. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  43. FADO – Off form and finished 9th in a Conditions race at Chantilly over 1400m on 19 June. Others make more appeal
  44. PROXIMA CENTAURI – Finished 8th in a handicap at Lyon-La Soie over 2150m on 24 February. Returns from a break and should need this run
  45. CARLSTON – Not disgraced when 5th in a handicap at Chantilly over 1800m on 19 June. Can be a threat over this track and trip
  46. MAIZIERES – Showed some improvement when fourth in a handicap at Chantilly over 1800m on 19 June. Might play a minor role
  47. SAVANNENSTERN – Showed some improvement when third in a handicap at Compiègne over 1600m on 9 June. Has a place chance in this line-up
  48. CORONADO – In good shape and was runner-up in a handicap at ParisLongchamp over 2000m on 2 July. Can contest the finish
  49. LAST SINN – Unreliable but was successful last time out in a handicap at Chantilly over 1800m on 19 June. Carries a penalty but must be respected
    Summary: A very open looking race. DOUBLE EFFECT (2) made a winning return for David Smaga and, equally effective on both sand and turf, will attempt to follow up. LAST SINN (16) recently landed his first handicap at the age of eight and could go in again. PRINCESSE BLONDE (1) is enjoying a very good year. A surface specialist, SEIGNEUR (5) is capable of settling matters with a strong turn of foot and is capable of shining brightly.
    SELECTIONS
    DOUBLE EFFECT (2) – LAST SINN (16) – PRINCESSE BLONDE (1) – SEIGNEUR (5)
    C5 – HARAS DE FRESNAY-LE-BUFFARD PRIX JEAN PRAT – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 400,000
  50. RAYIF – Won the Poule D’Essai Des Poulains (Gr.1) on his return run of the year over 1600m on May 10. Top-class operator who should improve for that run and has leading claims
  51. SAMANGAN – Fair 6th last time in the Commonwealth Cup (Gr.1) at Ascot (UK) over 1200m on June 19. Group 2 and Group 3 success last year over 1200m and 1400m.In the mix
  52. THESECRETADVERSARY – Won on the last start over 1400m in the Jersey Stakes (Gr.3) at Ascot (Uk) on June 20. Up in class and warrants respect
  53. GO MAN – Recent 2nd in the Prix Paul De Moussac (Gr.2) over 1400m at Parislongchamp behind NIGHTIME (7) on June 7. Others rate higher
  54. TIME TO TURN – Fair effort to be 2nd in a Listed race at Sandown (UK) over 1600m on May 28th when last seen. Might find a few too smart
  55. IMPERIOR – Finished 5th at Prix Paul De Moussac (Gr.2) over 1400m at Parislongchamp behind NIGHTIME (7) on June 7. Must improve to trouble some of these
  56. NIGHTTIME – Nice success in the Prix Paul De Moussac (Gr.2) over 1400m at Parislongchamp on June 7 when last seen. Classy performer who warrants close attention
  57. TRUE LOVE – Solid Group 1 form, she won the English 1000 guineas (Gr.1) at Newmarket on May 3, and two placed runs since, the latter in the Coronation Stakes (Gr.1) when 3rd at Ascot (UK) over 1600m on June 19. Takes on the colts and must be respected
    Summary: RAYIF (1) is expected to build on his winning seasonal return in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains (Gr.1) in early May and gets the vote. TRUE LOVE (8), winner of the English 1,000 Guineas, has since posted two excellent Group 1 efforts, most recently finishing a close third in the Coronation Stakes at Ascot, and rates the main danger. NIGHTTIME (7) comes here in top form after landing the Prix Paul de Moussac (Gr.2) on June 7 and should have another major role to play. THESECRETADVERSARY (3), the Jersey Stakes (Gr.3) winner at Ascot in June, completes the shortlist.
    SELECTIONS
    RAYIF (1) – TRUE LOVE (8) – NIGHTTIME (7) – THESECRETADVERSARY (3)
    C6 – HARAS DE FRESNAY-LE-BUFFARD PRIX DE L’ETANG-BERTRAND – 1900m (a1m1/4) – ALL WEATHER – – Flat – EUR € 14,400
  58. AKAGERA – Three unplaced runs recently, well beaten at Nancy over 2000m in a Class 4 handicap on May 20. Needs to get back on track
  59. JOHNNY JANE – Placed 4th on the last run over this track and trip in a Class 3 handicap on February 7. Fitness to prove and can be opposed
  60. TWIN BOY – Out of form of late, well held on the turf at Parislongchamp on July 2 over 2000m in a Class 4 handicap. Can bounce back at nice odds
  61. ROYAL RIGHT – Fair 4th last time over 1800m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on the turf on June 19. Hard to dismiss
  62. CLOUD MAN – Finished 5th last time over 2000m at Parislongchamp in a Class 4 handicap on July 2. Among the leading chances
  63. SEMEUR – Three unplaced runs of late, a win before that over 2100m on the PSF at Pornichet in a Class 3 handicap on January 3. Hard to fancy
  64. DIAMONDS – Three unplaced efforts of late, the most recent over 1900m at this track in a handicap on December 12. She won on turf last year, and has placed form over this track and trip last November. Pass over
  65. ANONYME – Two unplaced runs recently, the latter on June 4, 3rd on April 7 over this track and trip in a Class 4 handicap and a track and trip win last October in a Class 4 race. Can be involved
  66. SPINNING MIST – Ran a better race to be 3rd at Senonnes over 2300m on March 13 in a Class 4 handicap last time out. Has work to do to feature
  67. COMTESSE VERA – Finished 6th last time over 1800m at Dieppe on June 23 in a Class 4 handicap. Unlikely to trouble some of these
  68. BELLA CIAO – Recent 7th over 2000m in a Class 4 handicap at Parislongchamp on July 2. She won on the PSF on December at Pornichet. Outside place chance
  69. YOUM IN LOVE – Creditable 5th last time over 1600m at Compiegne in a Class 4 handicap on June 9. And two placed runs on the PSF in May at Chantilly. Player
  70. ZAADOR – Ran well to be 2nd over 2000m at Chatillon in a Class 4 race on June 8. Good racing weight and can make the top four
  71. ECLAIR DE VATI – Reasonable effort when 5th over 2300m at Senonnes in a Class 4 handicap on March 13, and a win over 2500m at this track in a Class 4 on January 22. Better over a stiffer test of stamina
  72. DSCHINGIS ANGEL – Well held in a Class 4 handicap at Senonnes over 2300m on March 13, placed over 2500m at this track in February in a Class 4 handicap. Looking for her first win after 27 runs
  73. LA MOMY – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter on June 13 in a Class 3 handicap. She won at Chantilly over 1900m on May 4 in a Class 4 handicap on this surface. Ought to be thereabouts
    Summary: YOUM IN LOVE (12) is well drawn and acquitted himself well enough on turf last month when he was fifth at Compiegne. Back on a surface that he likes he is preferred ahead of CLOUD MAN (5) , who was a decent fifth at Parislongchamp 10 days ago and likes the PSF surface. ANONYME (8) ran well to be third over this track and trip in April and is a previous course winner last October. She is one to keep onside, as is AKAGERA (1), who is better than her latest form figures and looks like an option for the each way backers to latch on to.
    SELECTIONS
    YOUM IN LOVE (12) – CLOUD MAN (5) – ANONYME (8) – ROYAL RIGHT (4)
    C7 – HARAS DE FRESNAY-LE-BUFFARD PRIX DE BEAUMONT-LE ROGER – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 26,900
  74. ROCK OF ROSHA – She has been placed on all three runs this year, 4th on the latter over 1200m at Marseille Borely in a maiden race on June 12. One to keep safe
  75. CROOK – Finished 3rd last time over 1100m at Dieppe in a handicap on June 6. One to pay close attention to
  76. SANAWARI – Placed 2nd on his last run over 1500m at Marseille Vivaux in a handicap on June 6. Others seem to be better equipped
  77. SIGHISH – Recent 6th over 1400m in a maiden race on June 20. Tries a handicap today and warrants attention each-way
  78. SBIKHA – Two wins of late, the most recent over 1100m at La Teste in a handicap on June 26. Creeping up in the handicap but merits consideration
  79. SKY DREAM – Placed 4th on the last three runs, the latter over 1400m at Parislongchamp on June 11 in a handicap. Enters each-way calculations
  80. TERRITOIRE – Ran well to score over 1400m at Parislongchamp in a handicap on June 15 when last seen. Hard to ignore
  81. THIBERVILLE – Decent 4th over 1200m at Chantilly in a handicap on May 4 when last appearing. Might find a few of these too smart
  82. BAIETA – Finished 7th on her third run over 1100m at Dieppe in a maiden race on May 16. Handicap debut and can be opposed
  83. WHY AM I BEAUTIFUL – Encouraging 2nd over 1100m at La Teste in a handicap on June 26 and has acquitted herself well before that. In the mix
  84. DAMN PRECIOUS – Finished 7th over 1100m at Dieppe on June 6 in a maiden race last time. Hard to be enthusiastic about
  85. PRINCESS ZALTANA – 5th on her latest start over 1200m at Chantilly in a claiming race on June 19. Still looking to get off the mark after 13 runs
  86. DHIFFUSHI – Got off the mark over 1100m in a handicap at Dieppe on June 23 when last appearing. Looks progressive and can be on the premises
  87. ZANINA – Finished 6th on her last run over 1350m at Cholet in a maiden race on June 30. Unlikely to be a threat
  88. STAR FIXX – Well beaten in 13th over 1400m in a maiden race at Saint-Cloud on June 2 when last seen. Can be opposed
  89. KENDARO – Placed 2nd on his most recent start over 1100m at Dieppe in a handicap on June 6. Can be effective from the foot of the weights
    Summary: KENDARO (16) ran a pleasing race when second at Dieppe recently over 1100m early last month and can be effective over this extra 100m. He gets the vote ahead of TERRITOIRE (7), who won over 1400m at Parislongchamp in mid-June and should not be inconvenienced by the slight drop back in distance. CROOK (2) ran well when third in the same handicap as the main selection last month and has solid claims each-way. SBIKHA (5) is seeking a hat-trick of wins and warrants respect despite her rise in the handicap.
    SELECTIONS
    KENDARO (16) – TERRITOIRE (7) – CROOK (2) – SBIKHA (5)
    C8 – HARAS DE FRESNAY-LE-BUFFARD PRIX DE ROCHEVILLE – 1900m (a1m1/4) – ALL WEATHER – – Flat – EUR € 19,200
  90. PIERRE LE GRAND – Placed on his last four runs, 2nd on the most recent over 1800m at Salon Provence in a Class 4 race on June 17. Key chance
  91. GRAND MACHO – Finished 6th on his most recent start over 1500m at Deauville in a Class 4 race on June 26. Warrants respect despite a wide draw in 15
  92. HEMATITE – Several unplaced runs of late, well beaten in 11th at Nantes in a Class 4 handicap over 2400m on July 1. Hard to recommend
  93. RED GRACE – Finished 6th on July 2 in a Class 4 race, 2nd before that at Orleans in a Class 4 race over 2200m on May 17. Ought to be in the shake-up
  94. RIVER QUARTZ – He has been unplaced in four runs this year, well held in a Class 3 handicap at Compiegne on June 13 when beating only one rival. Others preferred
  95. BOBBY JEAN – Finished 2nd at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on June 19 when last seen. Well handicapped and can be competitive
  96. ILLUSTRE BERE – Nice 4th over 2300m at Angers on May 2 in a Class 4 handicap on his last outing. Capable of making an impact
  97. DARIYANGEL – Below par on June 5 on turf , but a decent 3rd at Chantilly on the PSF over 1900m in a Class 4 handicap on May 19 was a better effort. Likes this surface and can not be discounted
  98. HEY MAN – Not disgraced when 6th over 2000m at Le Lion D’Angers on June 5 in a Class 4 handicap. Has work to do to make the frame
  99. DAHARIZ – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 1900m at Argentan on April 9 in a Class 4 handicap. Look for an alternative
  100. ESTELLA MOBRAY – Two wins this year from three runs, the most recent over 1950m at Chateaubriant in a Class 4 handicap on May 5. Placed form on the PSF at Pornichet. This will be more difficult
  101. GOLDEN RIVER – Finished 6th on the last run over 2300m at Senonnes in a Class 4 handicap on March 13. One to steer clear of
  102. LA JAVANAISE – Finished 7th over 2000m at Compiegne in a Class 3 handicap on June 13 last time. Track winner over 2500m in August 2025. Outside place contender
  103. CIRCO MASSIMO – Two unplaced runs this year, well held over 2000m at Parislongchamp on July 2 in a Class 3 handicap when last seen. Faces a stiff challenge
  104. POLMINHAC – Not seen since a well beaten 12th at this track on December 29 in a Class 4 handicap. Course winner in 2025 over this distance in a Class 4 handicap on July 2025. Best watched for now
  105. KAPO ROSSO – Recent 4th at Craon in a Class 4 handicap on June 4 over 2400m. Could be suited by a stiffer test of stamina
    Summary: PIERRE LE GRAND (1) has been running consistently well without getting his head in front this season and can gain a deserved success. A solid runner-up at Salon Provence last time, he should appreciate the return to the PSF. ILLUSTRE BERE (7) rates the main danger after two placed efforts on turf this year and is equally effective on this surface. BOBBY JEAN (6) returned to form with a runner-up finish at Chantilly in June and appeals as a solid each-way contender. GRAND MACHO (2) completes the shortlist.

    R3 CHATELAILLON [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DU CASINO JOA DE CHATELAILLON – 2625m (a1m1/2) – Amateur Drivers – Harness – EUR € 6,000

  1. IGOR THEPOL – Ended last season on a low note and has picked up this year where he left off. Disregard
  2. JAZZ KERODA – 12th in a Class H at Chinon over 3100m on 15 August. Appears to be completely out of sorts though and can be passed over
  3. JAMES BOND GWEN – Gave a surprisingly good account when 4th in a Gemozac Class H last weekend, but will struggle to repeat
  4. JIVA DU DOUET – Has been very disappointing since returning to competition this year and will need to get her house in order
  5. JUSTE APRES – Made up for Le Mans blip when 2nd in a Class H at Moulins La Marche over 2800m on 5 July. Ran 3rd here in the spring and from the front row will be competitive when it matters
  6. JALISKO DU CANET – Has been knocking at the door over recent weeks, latterly runner-up in a Class G at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2775m on 27 June. Is well-engaged on front row and can impose
  7. JULES D’ERPION – Has ample ability but has was rather modest at Angouleme a month back. Is well-in on the front row though and cannot be ignored. First 5
  8. IF DE QUERAY – Looked to be getting back in the game in May but has disappointed twice since and the handicap will do him no favours
  9. HERCULE BRILLOUARD – Showed improvement when 4th to HEZA DE L’ERDRE (10) at Langon on 12 June. Is confirmed here but from the back row looks a minor place chance at best
  10. HEZA DE L’ERDRE – Returned to winning ways at Langon and was not disgraced when fifth in a Class H at Montmirail over 3200m on 28 June. Incurs the penalty but is confirmed at this level and warrants considerable respect
  11. JUVISY GEMA – Seldom gets her nose in front but always gives her best, most recently showing improvement when fourth in a Class E at Jallais over 3000m on 13 June. On back line but boasts excellent form at the venue and will be no pushover
  12. IBIS DE FRECA – Barring Angouleme performance has been in fine shape over recent months. Showed improvement 2 weeks ago, benefits from an excellent engagement, and even though shod still has a reasonable chance of picking up a cheque
    Summary: JALISKO DU CANET (6), who has gone close to winning at this level, looks a major contender. JUSTE APRES (5) commands plenty of respect, however, having struck up an effective partnership with his driver. From the second row, HEZA DE L’ERDRE (10) rates among the leading chances, along with JUVISY GEMA (11), who has finished fourth in both of her previous attempts at this level.

    C2 – PRIX FRANCK LEBLANC ET DOMINIK CORDEAU – 2500m (a1m1/2) – – Harness – EUR € 17,500
  13. NATSUKO TURGOT – Should not be too hastily-judged for losing her action at Vichy 2.5 weeks ago. Clearly has ability and a return to racing left-handed may be just the ticket. Chance
  14. NATIF DU MANOLET – Yet to finish closer than 4th in 9 starts to date. Has just one run in him since the spell, but receives the services of Benjamin Rochard this time and cannot be discounted
  15. NABUCHODONOSOR – Qualified respectably in April but has made no impact in 2 competitive starts and can expect to have few takers
  16. NOVAK VINGT TROIS – Failed to deliver in first 2 but ran reassuring 3rd in a Castéra-Verduzan Class F 2 weeks ago. Is nicely-positioned on front row but still represents a minor place chance at best
  17. NUMBER WAY – Runner-up on debut in a Class F at Laon over 2850m on 7 June. Will have come on for the race and is well-placed to give this a good go. Chance
  18. NEW TOONS – Made up for debut elimination when 4th in an Enghien Class D a fortnight ago. Posted a good time that day and must be taken seriously
  19. NUAGEUSE – Placed at Grenade-sur-Garonne in late-May but has twice failed to confirm and others easier to support
  20. NEW LOOK – Has yet to display any flair for the harness code and can be confidently passed over
  21. NICE BOY DU LUPIN – Qualified in 1’16’2 at Laval in late-May. Has had ample time to freshen up and, if as good in competition, can make this his own
    Summary: NICE BOY DU LUPIN (9) qualified in a fast time at the end of May. A maternal half-brother to JADOU DU LUPIN, he makes an intriguing debutant but will have to contend with a 2nd row draw. Runner-up on his first start, NUMBER WAY (5) looks capable of opening his account without delay. NATSUKO TURGOT (1) has shown plenty of promise, and his recent disappointment at Vichy is best overlooked. Fourth at Enghien at the end of June, NEW TOONS (6) has solid claims on making the frame.

  22. MYTIS DU CANET – Finished 8th on debut in a Class H at Lucon over 3025m on 5 July and has no possible chance
  23. MELONIA DES TORONS – Late-developer that has yet to display any talent for the game and can be ruled out
  24. MALICE DES BARGES – Eliminated in both starts since returning to competition in May. Has been fitted with pads for the first time but others still preferred
  25. MILDRED DU MANOLET – Has twice failed to confirm good Elbeuf performance in mid-May. Starts in front but still not a priority
  26. MAMZELLE DES PLANS – Never far from losing her action but is no slouch when applied. Reverts to a previous formula and, on good behaviour, can contest the finish
  27. MARACANA BEACH – In the frame in 3 of 4 so far this season, latterly 3rd in a Class F at La Roche-Sur-Yon over 2600m on 28 June. On the back row here but still has the wherewithal to finish in the mix
  28. MALINKA DE GENNES – Still a maiden after 30 starts. Has looked decidedly ordinary this year and will have nothing to contribute
  29. MAGIE DES MOLLES – Got straight down to business on comeback at Segre 2 weeks ago. Incurs the penalty this time but is barefoot again and can double her money
  30. MELODY MADJI – It took 11 races but got off the mark on turf in March. Has not been seen out since, and stays shod for the occasion, but is well-engaged here and must be taken seriously
    Summary: MAGIE DES MOLLES (8) made a winning return with the minimum of fuss on turf at Segré. Racing barefoot again, she is likely to prove the one to beat. Configured as she was at Vichy, MAMZELLE DES PLANS (5) lacks consistency, but on a good day she has the ability to produce a standout performance. Absent since her victory in March, MELODY MADJI (9) could make her freshness count, even though shod. MARACANA BEACH (6) should not be overlooked.

  31. MAKALOU DE FRAMIST – Ran 4th on debut at Bordeaux in January but has not been seen since and will be expected to need the race
  32. MARIO D’HAFLING – Showed promise earlier in the year but has looked very ordinary since and is unlikely to shake things up
  33. MAJOR DU BELVER – Not disgraced when fifth in a Class F at Laval over 2850m on 19 June. Enjoys a front-line break this time and Benjamin Rochard will be keen to take advantage. Attention
  34. MISTER ERDE – Successful in a Class F at Gemozac over 2600m on 21 June, but would have imposed more easily had his rival not drifted onto him. Faces a tougher task this time but sports a new formula and cannot be discounted
  35. MILANO BOCNEUF – Has turned a corner since imposing at Savigny-sur-Braye in May, most recently 3rd in a Class E at Vichy over 2950m on 30 June, and will be competitive at the business end of the race
  36. MANOLITO DU GUERET – Has done nothing of note since winning at Montignac 12 months ago and can be confidently disregarded
  37. MOUSKO DU LUPIN – Ran 2nd in a Class E over 2500m here on 10 May, his first appearance since last November. Is on the back row here but will only have improved for the race and has every chance of opening his 2026 account
  38. MAGIC DE BELLA – Ran third in a Class E at Chartres over 2800m on 28 June after having reassured at les Sables-d’Olonne earlier in the month. In better company this time but in this small field could make first 5
    Summary: After an encouraging comeback in which he finished second here, MOUSKO DU LUPIN (7) looks a leading contender despite staying shod. MILANO BOCNEUF (5) has become more reliable in recent weeks and, with his continued progress, has strong claims on a place on the podium. The same applies to MAJOR DU BELVER (3) who benefits from en excellent entry on the front row.

  41. LUBIE DE LOIRON – Comfortable winner of a Class F at Lyon-Parilly over 2850m on 9 June. She may not be the most reliable of mares, but she ran second here in May and from the 3 slot has every chance of going one better
  42. LASKA TURGOT – Returned to victorious ways in a Class F at Villeneuve Sur Lot over 2625m on 28 June. Is unlikely to repeat but is well-positioned behind the car and, barefoot this time, should not be underestimated
  43. LADY BEAUTIFUL – Is as complicated as they come but has nevertheless been showing her form and can figure prominently if Pierrick Le Moel keeps her mind on the game
  44. LILI DU CHERISAY – Returns to racing barefoot after having reassured at Chartres on 31 May. Has buckets of ability and will be no soft touch if she keeps her action together
  45. L’AGATHE VAUCEENNE – Made up for Lisieux sanction when third in a Class E at Vichy over 2950m on 24 June. Sports 4 pads for the first time and even though drawn wide still looks a contender
  46. LILI DE POMMERAYE – Finished 6th in a Class F at Graignes over 2700m on 20 June, her first start for 2 months. Was unimpressive last time here but has been entrusted to Oliver Raffin and should not be written off
  47. LOULOUTE DE BOUERE – Has done nothing but blot her copybook in 2026 and the draw will do her no favours
  48. LETTRE A FRANCE – Encouraged twice earlier in the year but has since lost her way and will first need to reaffirm
  49. LIMONETTA – Unexceptional mare with just the one race in her since the spell and under these conditions already looks an also-ran
  50. LIV QUESNOT – Ran 3rd at Castillonnès before being eliminated in her next 2 starts. Is confirmed at this level though and with stride in check should start to come good again. First 5
    Summary: LUBIE DE LOIRON (3) finished strongly to regain the winning thread at the beginning of June. Held back for this fine entry, and reconfigured for the occasion, she will expected to fight out the finish with a freshly-padded L’AGATHE VAUCEENNE (7), who was last seen finishing third in stronger company. Representing a capable trainer-driver combination, LILI DU CHERISAY (6) will go barefoot and bid to confirm her return to form. LADY BEAUTIFUL (5) has been disappointing lately, but she will be no easy touch if behaved.

  51. KOGNAC DES TOURS – Was fourth in a Class F at Angouleme over 2750m on 14 June, his first start since early-March. Will have come on for the race, will be barefoot this time, but a repeat seems unlikely
  52. KROSSBLADE – Ran 3rd in an Eauze claimer before finishing 8th in a Class E at Lucon over 3025m last weekend, and will have nothing to offer
  53. KITA MESLOISE – Has done nothing noteworthy since imposing at Compiegne last September and will have few friends
  54. KOPAZE DE HOUELLE – Has made good progress since being eliminated at Thouars, latterly running 3rd in a Class H at La Roche-Sur-Yon over 2600m on 28 June. Eric Audebert in the bike for the first time and must be worth retaining
  55. KARAMEL NOIR – Has imposed just the once but otherwise acquits himself competitively for the most part. Should not be condemned for recent elimination and, with application, can contest the finish
  56. KEVISE BECO – Has not put a foot out of line since late-May. Was fourth in a Class E at Lucon over 3025m on 5 July would be be preferred on turf
  57. KRONOS DU CHATELET – Showed signs of encouragement during the spring but has since come off the boil and will have nothing to contribute
  58. KROONER DE L’ITON – Finished 6th in a Class F at Marseille-Borely over 3000m on 19 June after having lost his action at Grenade in late-May. Cannot be considered a priority but is better than several others here and will have his supporters
  59. KEIGHT BLESS – Not the most dependable of horses but can trot when focused. Has a trio of races under his belt, sports a new formula, and the front-row draw will only work to his advantage
  60. KAHID D’EPUISAY – Tricky element that flew up at Craon 3 weeks ago only to be disqualified. Trainer back in the bike and, ideally-entered, will be hopeful of putting things right. First 5
  61. KALISCO DE GENNES – Benefits from a wonderful entry here but has been out of sorts for the past 14 months and will have nothing to bring to the party
  62. KADEHO DE FRAMIST – Unremarkable trotter making first appearance since last December and can be confidently disregarded
  63. KINGSTON DU GOSIER – Got the year off to a good start, but has been a total write-off since mid-April and can be passed over
  64. KELRAPIDE DU LUPIN – Has not been out since winning 2 of 3 earlier in the year but is clearly in competition-mode and even from the back row should be good enough to win this
  65. KING DE BOUTEAU – Turned a corner last month when runner-up in 2 straight, most recently a Class G at Castera-Verduzan over 2800m on 28 June. Is better racing clockwise though and can be ruled out
  66. KENDALL – Quality element that made up for a pair of blips when third in a Class E at Nantes over 3000m on 1 June. Is nicely-engaged here and on good behaviour will be dangerous
  67. KYA D’ERABLE – Useful mare that was given a rest after a tough start to the season. Has nothing to prove at this level, enjoys a terrific entry, and debuts at the venue with a decent chance of picking up some prizemoney
  68. KEOPS TILLAYE – Disqualified in a Class E at Vichy over 1609m on 30 June. Stays shod once more and others easier to back
    Summary: KELRAPIDE DU LUPIN (14), a lightly raced sort, has not been seen since scoring in March but is competitively-shod and can make a winning return. Looking to bounce back after last week’s disappointment, KARAMEL NOIR (5) is the chief danger, along with KENDALL (16), who tends to go well when fresh. KEIGHT BLESS (9) will need to stay in stride, but is freshly-configured and has the ability to make life difficult for his rivals. Spare a thought for the reinvigorated KAHID D’EPUISAY (10).

  70. LOUZAC – By no means the worst horse here but was eliminated in 4 of last 5 starts and others easier to trust
  71. LE TENOR DE MAUVES – Returns to racing barefoot after being conditioned at Pornichet 10 days ago. Comfortably won here in the spring and from the 3 slot can confirm
  72. LANCOME DE JUMILLY – Good, consistent element that is better than recent Elbeuf result would suggest. Is new to the venue but is nicely-placed in front and looks a player. Chance
  73. LATINO DU LUPIN – Good, consistent sort that has returned to competition in good shape. Looks close to his race and, confirmed here and reconfigured, will be no pushover
  74. LEGRAND BRILLOUARD – Ran 3rd to LE TENOR DE MAUVES (3) here in early-May. Has not been as performant since but will be barefoot for a return to the venue and the engagement of Benjamin Rochard will only work to his advantage
  75. LYNX GRIFF – Is clearly in shape but has not been able to express himself lately. Has never been disgraced here and, with application, could pick up a first-five payout
  76. LORD PAGUERIE – Ran 2nd at Castillonnès before coming 5th in a Class F at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2775m on 27 June. Matthias Cholloux
    would have preferred a better draw but his gelding has been reconfigured and will generate some interest
  77. LORD DOMINIK – Showed early promise but has not lived up to expectations and appears to have no realistic chance
  78. L’ASTRE D’ORION – Finished modest 6th in a Class F at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2775m on 27 June following a pair of eliminations. Stays shod and is not an obvious choice
    Summary: Prepared with care for his return to this course and distance, and barefoot for the occasion, LE TENOR DE MAUVES (3) can come out on top, just as he did in early-May. Impressive in both of his starts this season, a reconfigured LATINO DU LUPIN (5) is unlikely to go down without a fight. Faultless since returning to action in the spring, LANCOME DE JUMILLY (4) makes plenty of appeal as a place prospect. Dropping in class, and barefoot this time, LEGRAND BRILLOUARD (6) also enters the reckoning and, with Benjamin Rochard in the bike, is sure to have his supporters.

  81. FAR WEST BI – Black-type standard trotter sporting a fresh configuration for his return to France. Ran 2nd in a Gr.3 on his sole Enghien start and, fresh for the occasion, can give this a good go from the front row
  82. PANTOCRATOR – Has returned from his winter break in excellent shape, winning two for two, most recently an Agen Class D on 17 June. Starts on the front line here and will be a tough nut to crack
  83. JIBI DU FRUITIER – Turned a corner at Cherbourg on 14 June and then confirmed at the same venue 10 days later. Is well-engaged on the front line, has a particular fondness for Enghien, and is unlikely to return home empty-handed
  84. GRAND SOURIRE – Encouraged twice in April before losing his way again and latest performance did little to convince
  85. HARISON DU PLESSIS – No slouch on a good day but stays shod for re-entry and from the 2nd line will have nothing to contribute
  86. IBIZA BELLA – Runner-up in a Class A at Enghien over 2150m on 13 June, complementing her Vincennes run a fortnight earlier. Is plainly close to her race and even from the 2nd row will be expected to bring the fight to PANTOCRATOR (4)
    Summary: Imperious on his last two starts, PANTOCRATOR (4) bids for a hat-trick and, barefoot this time, has every chance of completing it. From the second row, IBIZA BELLA (8) will attempt to challenge the superiority of the selection. The leading Bondo representative, FAR WEST BI (3) returns to French soil reconfigured and with legitimate ambitions, while stablemate EVERY TIME WINNER (1) also has a realistic chance of finishing close.

  4. LUBERON DE LA CRAU – Only modest of late and finished 6th in class F at Avignon over 2650m on 21 June. Needs to do a bit more to score

LOU DE BEAULAC (10) left a few regrets at Avignon on his debut for Thierry Bonnardel and could be a lively danger if smart. LUZ JELOCA (6) on a going day is capable of contesting the finish, the generally consistent LA RAMEE (2) is another that must be considered a possible winner.

KIERA MAGIC (2) is capable of much better than her recent form suggests so should be a threat. KEDERMANN (1) is on the upgrade and will attempt to challenge him. KOLOSSE (10), a newcomer to the South-East and partnered by David Békaert is another capable of contesting the finish.

He will need to be wary of MADGIC STRYCK (1), who is bidding for a hat-trick, and the consistent MAFIOSO DRY (2).
