C1 – PRIX DU BRAS D’OR – 1800m (a1m1/8) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 20,100

  1. THING FOR THE HOT – Placed on the last three runs, 2nd on the latest over 1800m at Dieppe in a maiden on June 23. Live chance of being competitive
  2. DELTA DAN – Finished 6th on the last run over 1500m at Deauville in a maiden race on June 26. Has work ahead to make the frame
  3. THE WHEEL OF TIME – Two 6th place runs, the latter over 1900m at Deauville in a maiden race on June 27. Unlikely to trouble the main protagonists
  4. MAGNUS – Placed on the last three runs, 3rd on the most recent over 1600m at Lyon Parilly in a maiden race on May 8. Hard to ignore
  5. PROMINENT – He has been unplaced in two starts, 7th on the latter over 1600m at Craon inn a maiden race on June 4. Needs a few to misfire
  6. TOO DARN QUICK – Fair 5th in a handicap at Parislongchamp on June 18 when last seen over 2200m. Among the leading each-way options
  7. NOBLE MEMORY – Placed 3rd last time over 2100m at Saint-Cloud in a maiden race on May 22. Leading chance of scoring
  8. GALASSI – Improved effort to be 2nd over 2400m at Nantes in a maiden race on June 16 on his second run. Place chance
  9. MUTANT KING – Sightly below par last time over 1600m when 9th in a maiden race at Saint-Cloud on April 17. Has the talent to be involved
  10. SILVER EAGLE – Gelding by Hello Youmzain, the dam won 1 race over 1600m. Nice profile and from a trainer that knows the time of day. The betting can guide
    Summary: NOBLE MEMORY (7) took a clear step forward when finishing third at Saint-Cloud in late May in a race that has worked out well, with the winner going on to Listed success. Lightly raced and open to further improvement, he is taken to come out on top. MAGNUS (4) has been running consistently and rates the principal danger. THING FOR THE HOT (1) has the form to play a major role and should give another good account, while MUTANT KING (9) was not beaten far despite finishing unplaced last time and is worthy of respect.
    SELECTIONS
    NOBLE MEMORY (7) – MAGNUS (4) – THING FOR THE HOT (1) – MUTANT KING (9)
    C2 – PRIX ACTEON – 1800m (a1m1/8) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 20,100
  11. SENTOSA – Finished a decent 2nd at Granville in a maiden over 1700m on June 28. Should step forward from her last run and has outside place claims
  12. LOUIZA – Tad low key in 6th on May 22, 3rd before that on debut at Saint-Cloud on May 1 over 2000m. Ought to be thereabouts
  13. STEPHANIE – Two unplaced runs, the latter when 8th at Evreux in a maiden race on May 26 over 1800m. Has to improve a good deal to make the frame
  14. TAMAR – Caught the eye when 4th at Compiegne in a maiden race on June 20 over 1800m. Open to progress and is worth close attention
  15. OSER ROSE – She has been 6th on her two runs, the most recent over 2400m at Nantes on June 16 in a maiden. Might find this difficult
  16. HODIE MIHI – Finished 8th on her last start over 1800m at Parislongchamp on May 28 in a maiden race. Others seem better equipped
  17. STARGATOR – She has not featured in three runs, the latter over 1800m at this track in a maiden on June 5. Hard to fancy
  18. AMILA – Ran with promise to be 2nd over 1800m at Dieppe in a maiden on June 6 on her debut. Open to progress and can be on the premises
  19. MARKEZA – Signs of promise when 6th over this track and trip in a maiden on her sole start on June 20. Can improve and play a lead role
  20. VAPOA – Finished 5th over this track and trip in a maiden on June 20 when last seen. Placed 2nd at this track in June in a maiden over this distance. In the mix
  21. ESTIVALE – Recent 3rd over this track and trip in a maiden race on June 5. She can improve further and is one to pay close attention to
  22. TERRA PROXIMA – Unraced filly by Romanised, the dam won 1 race and was Listed placed. Likely to improve for this run and is best watched for now
  23. ROYALE PUMPKIN – Filly on debut by The Grey Gatsby, the dam won 1 race and was placed in a Group 3. One to monitor in the betting for any market moves
    Summary: TAMAR (4) made an encouraging debut when finishing fourth over this course and distance in late June and is expected to improve with that experience. The booking of Christophe Soumillon catches the eye and she gets the vote. MARKEZA (9), who finished sixth in the same race, is also entitled to progress and rates the main danger. VAPOA (10) was fifth in that maiden, with the form boosted by the third horse winning next time, and she also commands respect. ESTIVALE (11) completes the shortlist.
    SELECTIONS
    TAMAR (4) – MARKEZA (9) – VAPOA (10) – ESTIVALE (11)
    C3 – PRIX DU PUITS DE BERNE – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 14,600
  24. HARRISON POINT – Ran well to be 2nd over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on June 24 when last seen. Enters calculations
  25. WINDBURN – Won on her last run over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on June 24. Capable of making the frame
  26. CELTIC ARYAAN – Recent 4th at Deauville in a Class 4 race on June 26 over 1500m, course winner over this distance in late May in a Class 3 handicap. Key chance
  27. ROYAL SHAKE – He has failed to make the frame in four runs this year, the latest over 1400m in a Class 4 race at Parislongchamp on June 11. In the mix
  28. LINTERPRETE – Ran well to be 4th over 1600m at this track in a Class 4 race on June 5. He might find this challenging
  29. DRUIDE – Commendable 3rd over 2000m at Chantilly on July 7 in a Class 4 race last time. One to pay attention to
  30. WOFF – Placed 4th last time over 2000m at Parislongchamp on July 9 in a Class 3 claimer. Hard to rule out of the frame
  31. GLAMOURDALE – Not seen since a well beaten effort at Marseille Borely in a Class 3 handicap on October 18 last year. Likely to need this run back from a layoff
  32. HONEY BADGER – Better run to be 4th last time over 2200m at Haras Du Pin in a Class 4 race on May 24. More required to trouble the principles
  33. PIERRE PREMIER – Unplaced when last seen over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on June 24. Top-three contender
  34. AURORA BOREALIS – Decent 2nd over 1500m at Deauville in a Class 4 race over 1500m on the PSF when last seen on June 26. Looking for his first success and can get off the mark
    Summary: AURORA BOREALIS (11) stepped forward significantly after a needed comeback run when finishing an pleasing second at Deauville, when beaten by a narrow margin. CELTIC ARYAAN (3) was back in fourth in the same race and can make life difficult for the selection. WOFF (7) ran a decent fourth at Parislongchamp 7 days ago and can not be ruled out of the frame, and DRUIDE (6) looks favourably treated at the weights and merits consideration.
    SELECTIONS
    AURORA BOREALIS (11) – CELTIC ARYAAN (3) – WOFF (7) – DRUIDE (6)
    C4 – PRIX DU PUITS DU ROI – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 24,000
  35. SENA IULIA – Fair 4th last time over 1300m at Vittel on July 6 in a Class 3 race. She won in April in a maiden at Nancy and warrants respect
  36. HELLO CAREL – Three decent efforts recently, two win in May and June and a recent 3rd over 1350m at Senonnes in a handicap on July 2. In the mix
  37. SARDINIAN RULER – Finished 6th in a Class 3 on June 5, a win before that in a maiden race at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on January 14 over 1500m on turf. Handicap debut and has to be respected
  38. NISSAKIA – Better effort to be 4th at Craon in a maiden race over 1600m on June 4. Handicap debut and can make the top four
  39. MEISHO SUGAR – Two tame efforts of late, 8th at Dax in a Class 2 race over 1400m on June 29 when last appearing. Hard to recommend
  40. DIVO – Placed on the last three runs, the most recent over 1600m at Angers in a handicap on June 8. Can make the frame
  41. MARASI DRIVE – Finished 5th last time over 1600m at Lyon Parilly in a handicap on June 21, and placed before that. Ought to be thereabouts
  42. MADAME MAGIC – Two placed runs of late, 4th on the latter over 1600m at Lyon Parilly in a maiden on June 22. Lightly raced and has more to come
  43. FORGOTTEN SON – Showed improved form to be 2nd at Deauville in a maiden on his third run over 1500m on June 26. Looks progressive and can feature
  44. GOLDEN MAZEL – Unplaced on the one run this year over 1600m in a handicap on April 12 at Parislongchamp. Best watched for the time being
  45. ESTHETE – Finished 2nd on her last run over 1200m in a claimer at Deauville on August 14. Likely to improve for this outing after a layoff
  46. CHARMING CECILIA – Finished 7th over 1550m at Strasbourg on May 8 in a handicap when last appearing. Might find this challenging
  47. OCEAN STAR – Decent 3rd last time over 2000m at Nancy on May 20 in a handicap and placed 2nd before that in May. Live chance
  48. PERCEVAL – Recent win in a Class 3 race at La Teste over 1800m on June 26. Not the most reliable and others rate higher
  49. PARISA – She has failed to trouble the judge in four runs, the most recent at Saint-Cloud in a handicap over 1600m on June 2. Look elsewhere
    Summary: OCEAN STAR (13) ran well to be third at Nancy in late May when last seen and is given the vote ahead of MADAME MAGIC (8), who has shaped well to be placed on the latest two runs and can make the selection pull out all of the stops. FORGOTTEN SON (9) ran his best race at Deauville when second in a maiden late last month and has to enter calculations on his handicap bow. MARASI DRIVE (7) makes up the shortlist.
    SELECTIONS
    OCEAN STAR (13) – MADAME MAGIC (8) – FORGOTTEN SON (9) – MARASI DRIVE (7)
    C5 – PRIX PELLEAS – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Listed – Flat – EUR € 50,300
  50. HAAYIMM – Good win last time over 1800m at Musselburgh (UK) over 1800m on June 30 in a Class 3 handicap. Travels from the UK and warrants respect
  51. ICENI BOY – Recent 4th at Chantilly in a Class 1 race over 2000m on June 24 on the turf. Three wins at Prague (CZE) before his latest run. Looks vulnerable
  52. GENTLEMANLIKE – Won well over 2400m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 1 race on June 21 when last seen. Can keep on improving and has solid claims
  53. QUANTAS – Unplaced last time in a Group 2 race at Milan (ITA) over 2200m on June 2, and a 2nd before that in a Listed race at the same track over 2000m on May 2. Others more likely
  54. PROOF – Solid effort when last seen in the Criterium De Saint-Cloud (Gr.1) on October 26 when a close up 3rd over 2000m. Can feature on his return from a layoff
  55. WIKI – Placed on all four runs, 2nd on the latter over 2400m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 1 race on June 21. Ought to play a lead role
    Summary: GENTLEMANLIKE (3) could be the answer to this Listed race. He won well over 2400m at Lyon Parilly late in June when last seen and looks like he will keep on progressing. His fitness can give him an edge over PROOF (5), who was a solid third in the Criterium De Saint-Cloud (Gr.1) on October 26 when last seen. He could be a tad rusty on his return although he is a promising colt. WIKI (6) was second behind the main selection at Lyon Parilly and looks best of the rest.
    SELECTIONS
    GENTLEMANLIKE (3) – PROOF (5) – WIKI (6) – HAAYIMM (1)

  56. ALYAQUT – Out of form with three unplaced efforts. The most recent over 1400m at Parislongchamp on June 11 in a Class 4 handicap. Can bounce back and make the frame at nice odds
  57. SIGNORA BELLISSIMA – Two solid runs recently, 2nd on the latter over 1400m at Parislonghamp in a Class 4 race on June 11. Looked unlucky not to win last time and has solid claims
  58. MOOREA – Ran well to be 3rd over 1500m at Deauville on June 26 in a Class 4 race when last seen. Ought to be on the premises
  59. ECLAIRE LA VIE – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 1600m at this track on June 5 in a Class 4 race. One to keep onside
  60. ROMANCE MARINE – Three tame efforts of late, the latter over 1500m at Deauville in a Class 4 race on June 26. Needs to bounce back to form before considered
  61. KELLY KEY – Finished 6th last time over 1350m at Senonnes in a Class 3 handicap on July 2. Capable of being on the premises
  62. OPIANA – Good run to be 2nd last time over 1600m at Nantes in a Class 4 handicap on July 1. Top-three contender and is well handicapped at the moment
  63. THALIA – Recent 5th over 1400m at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 handicap on June 18. One to pay attention to each-way
  64. HIGH VIOLET – Two unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1600m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on June 9. Might need a few to falter
  65. REMAMA – Placed 4th on the last two runs, the most recent over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on July 5 in a Class 3 handicap. Not the most reliable
  66. BATESCA – Three unplaced runs of late, 9th on the last run over 1400m at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 handicap on June 18. Others preferred
  67. AMBRA ANTICA – Ran well when 4th at Parislongchamp on April 23 over 1600m in a Class 3 handicap when last appearing. Outside place claims
  68. GENTILESCHI – Unplaced on the one run this year over 1600m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on June 9. Hard to fancy
  69. AIR DE SAMBA – Placed 2nd over 1400m in a Class 3 handicap at Saint-Cloud on her last run on July 5. Merits attention each-way off a low weight
  70. IRIDIA – Recent 4th at Parislongchamp over 1400m in a Class 4 handicap on June 18. Still looking to get off the mark after 27 runs
    Summary: SIGNORA BELLISSIMA (2) was arguably unlucky not to win last time after her rider misjudged the winning post.She can make amends this time under the same rider. OPIANA (7), runner-up in this grade at Nantes on July 1, looks like the main threat, while THALIA (8) remains competitive off her current mark handicap mark. MOOREA (3) benefits from a valuable weight allowance and has place ambitions, while ECLAIRE LA VIE (4) has dropped in the handicap and is worth considering.

    C7 – PRIX DU PUITS D’ORLEANS – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20,200
  71. KAPKAN – Finished 8th at Parislongchamp on July 2 over 1600m when last racing. Previous form does not inspire
  72. DARYA – Finished 5th last time on June 26, a win before that in a maiden race at Nort-Sur-Erdre over 1800m on a maiden race on May 25. Place contender
  73. FANZI CHOP – Good win on his last start over 1800m in a handicap on July 3 at Clairefontaine. Can keep on progressing and follow up
  74. ROMAN BOY – Recent 4th over 1600m at Parislongchamp on July 2 in a handicap and 2nd before that over 1400m in June. Lightly raced and has more to come
  75. KISRAK – Finished in the rear division in a handicap at Parislongchamp over 1600m on July 2 last time out. One to overlook
  76. ALINKA – Two 3rd place runs of late, the latter over 1600m at Parislongchamp in a claimer on June 7. Ought to be in the shake-up
  77. SOCIANDO – Two nice runs of late, a win at Nantes in early June and a recent 3rd at Clairefontaine over 1800m in a handicap on July 3 when last appearing. Player
  78. ARMSTRONG GLORY – Unplaced last time over 1800m on July 3, 2nd before that at Parislongchamp in a handicap on June 15. Outside place chance
  79. ALLIANCE ROYALE – She has four unplaced runs, 8th at Clairefontaine in a handicap over 1800m on July 3 when last seen. Might find this too much
  80. WOOD MING – Has not featured in five runs, 7th at Parislongchamp on July 2 in a handicap over 1600m when last appearing. Looks vulnerable
  81. ASPRILA – Three unplaced efforts of late, the latest over 1550m at Strasbourg in a handicap on May 27. Hardly inspiring form
  82. MY GIRL MOLLY – She has been placed on her last three runs, 3rd at Saint-Cloud in a handicap on June 2 over 1600m last time. One to keep onside
  83. ONE EDITION – Well beaten in 12th in a handicap at Parislongchamp over 1400m on June 15 when last seen. Poor form before that and can be avoided

  85. TOMOE GOZEN – Has been out of form, 6th at Nantes in a maiden race over 1600m on July 1 when last seen. Others make more appeal
    Summary: FANZI CHOP (3) got off the mark last time at Clairefontaine earlier this month over 1800m and has solid claims of following up. His main threat could be SOCIANDO (7), who has been placed on the last two runs, which includes a win on his penultimate start at Nantes on June. ALINKA (6) has been third on the last two runs and is one to consider strongly each-way. ROMAN BOY (4) looks best of the remainder.
    SELECTIONS
    FANZI CHOP (3) – SOCIANDO (7) – ALINKA (6) – ROMAN BOY (4)
    C8 – PRIX DU CHATEAU DE PIERREFONDS – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Class 2 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 50,900
  86. MISS OXFORD – Recent 3rd over 1600m at Hoppergarten (DEU) in a Listed race on April 5. Faces a stiff task from the top of the weights
  87. OMICRONE – Four unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 2 handicap on July 5. Course winner last year in a Class 2 race and has eased to a favourable handicap rating and has headgear for the first time
  88. ZAWAN – Failed to make the frame in three runs this year, the most recent over 1600m at Parislongchamp on June 4 in a Class 2 handicap. One to pay attention to
  89. ZAKOSHA – She has two unplaced efforts since a win at Chantilly over 1400m in a Class 3 handicap on April 22 on the turf. Needs a few to falter
  90. THE SHADOW – Solid performer, 2nd on the latest run over 1600m at Parislongchamp in a Class 2 handicap on June 4. Hard to ovelook
  91. MY QUEEN – Placed 3rd last time over 1600m at Deauville in a Class 3 race on April 8. Unlikely to trouble some of these
  92. VICTORY FOLIE – No show on two runs this year, 8th at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a Class 3 handicap on February 1 over 1600m when last seen. Look elsewhere
  93. HE TOUCHED ME – Fair 5th on the last run over 1400m at Chantilly in a Class 3 race on June 19. Others make more appeal
  94. ZASYMOKA – Placed 3rd on her last two runs, the most recent over 1600m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 3 handicap on June 21. Holds leading claims
  95. ELUSIVE BELARDO – Finished 6th last time over 1600m at Parislongchamp on June 4 in a Class 2 handicap. Among the leading each-way options
  96. AVERSA – Finished 8th on her only run this year over 1500m at Chantilly in a Class 3 race on February 12. More needed to be involved
  97. BEST LOOKING – Creditable 6th on the last run over 1400m at Strasbourg on June 16 in a Class 4 handicap. Needs to be more reliable
  98. AMORCITA – Recent win over 1600m at Parislongchamp on June 4 in a Class 3 handicap. More needed in what could be a stronger race
  99. DARK ZEL – Placed 3rd on the last run over 1800m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on July 7. Merits consideration
  100. PLACEHOLDER – Unplaced last time on July 5, 4th before that over 1600m in a Class 3 handicap at Parislongchamp on June 4. Enters calculations
  101. TANTOMILE – Two unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1400m when 12th at Parislongchamp on May 14. Ought to show more and can make the frame
    Summary: OMICRONE (2) is a lot better than her recent form figures. Formerly rated as high as 43.5, she has often been seen under less-than-ideal conditions, mostly on ground that did not suit. Back over her optimum trip, on fast ground she relishes, and against her own sex, she is taken to return to winning ways. The fitting of cheek- pieces could also have a positive effect. THE SHADOW (5) has been a model of consistency and is a proven performer at this level and around Compiègne, making her the main threat. ZAWAN (3) and PLACEHOLDER (15) both had trouble in running when last seen and are capable of bouncing back. ZASYMOKA (9) makes up the shortlist.

C1 – PRIX DES BENEVOLES – 2675m (a1m1/2) – Class F – Mounted – EUR € 17,500

  1. MORGANA JIEL – Has not show much and finished 7th in a class G at Chartres over 2800m on 16 November. Tries barefoot but is returning from a lengthy break
  2. MOLENE DE L’ITON – Disqualified in three of last four starts, the latest a class H harness race at La Gacilly over 2300m on 5 July. Needs to do more to score
  3. MONDIAL – Finished fifth in a class F mounted race at Cabourg over 2750m on 7 July. Might play a minor role at very best
  4. MANON D’EPOC – Not reliable and finished 7th in a class E mounted race at Cholet over 2800m on 9 June. Has yet to win but is capable of earning some money
  5. MAX MANUS – Showed some improvement when runner-up in a class F mounted race at Moulins-la-Marche over 2225m on 28 June. Remains barefoot and can go one better if smart

  7. MILAN PRIMO – Disqualified in three of last four starts, including last time out in a class F harness race at Saint-Malo over 2950m on 9 July. Better under the saddle and could score
  8. MAHARADJAH ROYAL – Not reliable and finished 6th in a class F mounted race at Cabourg over 2750m on 7 July. Could make the frame
  9. MAYO DES FLOTS – Yet to win but was fourth in a class E mounted race at Cholet over 2800m on 9 June. Remains barefoot and should be competitive once again
  10. MELODIE DE FAEL – Disqualified in a class E mounted race at Caen over 2450m on 15 June. Unreliable but might earn some minor money
  11. MAC GYVER – Disqualified twice in a row, the latest in a class F mounted race at Cabourg over 2750m on 7 July. Capable of scoring when smart
    Summary: A competitive opening event. MAC GYVER (11) is not the easiest horse to handle, but he finds a good opportunity here to play a leading role. Runner-up on his debut in this discipline, MAX MANUS (5) should not take long to get off the mark. Second in his only start under the saddle, MILAN PRIMO (7) also has solid claims. Likely to improve, MAHARADJAH ROYAL (8) could also get involved with the finish.

    C2 – PRIX DE LA SEE – 2675m (a1m1/2) – – Harness – EUR € 20,000
  12. NASSAU LIGNERIES – Disqualified on debut in a class F at Lisieux over 2675m on 2 July. Capable of improvement but makes little appeal
  13. NINA DU BOCAGE – Unreliable and was unplaced at Carentan over 2850m on 11 July. Needs to find a few lengths to score this time
  14. NOLA DU VIVIER – Disqualified in three of four starts so far, including last time out in a class F at Saint-Malo over 2950m on 9 July. Can earn some money when staying in stride
  15. NORMA CASTELLE – Unreliable and finished 8th in a class F at Lisieux over 2675m on 2 July. More is needed to beat these rivals
  16. NINA DU BIRKWALD – Not reliable and finished 7th in a class F at Rambouillet over 2000m on 5 July. Capable of better but others are preferred
  17. NIIHAU PLACE – Not disgraced when fifth in a class E at Argentan over 2875m on 19 May. Did win on debut and is not out of it
  18. NIKITA TENSAU – Disqualified in a class E at Cherbourg over 2625m on 24 June. Better judged on the good debut win and must be respected for that
  19. NINA DE BAFFAIS – A winner on debut in a class F at Graignes over 2700m on 27 June. Tougher task but may well win again
  20. NOLITA DU QUENNE – Victorious in a class H at Villedieu-les-Poeles over 2800m on 3 July. Showed some improvement that day but does tackle stronger. Might place
  21. NATIVE DU TRIO – Finished fifth in a class E at Cherbourg over 2625m on 24 June. Capable of better and has a place chance
  22. NIKITA SLY – A winner of a class F at Vire over 2800m on 8 May. Returns from a break but can follow up if fit enough
  23. NEW GRASS – Non partante
    Summary: Composure will be key with the well-bred NEW GRASS (12), who certainly has the ability to win a race of this nature. The same applies to NIKITA TENSAU (7), who is worth another chance after her setback three weeks ago. NIKITA SLY (11) recently got off the mark by a narrow margin and is competitive for a podium spot, much like NINA DE BAFFAIS (8), who showed great determination to score on debut at Graignes.

  24. LYLAS DES CAUX – Off form and was unplaced at Carentan over 2850m on 11 July. Tries barefoot but has yet to win a race and others make more appeal
  25. LENNY D’EP – Disqualified three times in a row, the latest in a class F at Montmirail over 3200m on 12 July. Hard to trust and is best watched for now
  26. LE VOLONTAIRE – Disqualified twice in a row, the latest in a class H at Villedieu-les-Poeles over 2800m on 3 July. Remains barefoot but others are preferred
  27. LOWE DU BOUILLON – Unreliable and finished 8th in a class E at Cabourg over 2750m on 7 July. Has a place chance on best form
  28. LUCKY LUKE DANOVER – Showed some improvement when fourth in a class F at Genets over 2625m on 12 July. Can do even better this time
  29. LOLITA DU STADE – Disqualified in three of last four starts, the latest in a class F at Lisieux over 2725m on 2 July. Hard to trust and others make more appeal
  30. LE TANGO DU RENARD – Did not show his best when 10th in a class F at Lisieux over 2725m on 2 July. Capable of better and could earn some money
  31. LOUNABELLA – A winner of a class F at Les Sables D Olonne over 2775m on 27 June. Unreliable but is capable of scoring again

  34. LOUDGI D’AZE – Needed the only run of the year when 7th in a class F at Le Grand-Fougeray over 2775m on 14 May. Reverts to barefoot and could surprise
  35. LAURIANE DU RIED – Disqualified twice in last three starts, including last time out in a class H at Molieres over 2500m on 5 July. Needs to do more to score
  36. LANCEUR D’ETOILE – In good shape and finished fourth at Angouleme over 2750m on 14 June. Remains barefoot and should be competitive in this line-up
    Summary: A winner of both of her starts this year with the same partner, LUDIVINE DU CLOS (9) will attract the majority of support. LOUNABELLA (8) is coming off a victory with her apprentice rider, and this pairing could give our selection a real challenge. Behind these two, LANCEUR D’ETOILE (13) has a strong chance if at best. Presented with confidence by his trainer, LUCKY LUKE DANOVER (5) is capable of more improvement.

  50. MA JYL – Did not show her best when 7th in a class E at Questembert over 2500m on 21 June. Remains barefoot and is capable of a surprise
    Summary: MELODIE RAPID (1) bounced back to form over this course and distance last time out and, once again racing barefoot, she can follow up. However, she will have to keep an eye on MARMARA BLEUE (10), who finished a solid fourth against stronger opposition, and MELEA DU CHENE (6), whose latest below-par effort should not be taken too literally. In this category, MINOUCHE ERCA (11) still has a say and must be respected.

    Summary: There is no shortage of contenders in this evenly matched field. MIRAGE BOY (8) has been much more consistent since racing barefoot and, returning in this configuration, he could make a big impact. With an interesting level of potential, MARACANA DU VIVIER (7) is also a leading contender. MY NAME IS FLASH (9) will be fully barefoot for the first time and could be competitive. MIZAR DU FEUILLIEN (12) is another to follow after a good recent victory.

    Summary: KATIA DE MUZE (14) has found a new lease of life since changing stables. An impressive winner in the amateur ranks, she can confirm her return to form at a higher level. KONSTANCE D’OYSE (13) also ended a winless spell last time out and deserves plenty of credit, KALIPETTE JELOCA (11) scored in style in early June and is another to consider. From the front line, KELLIA VAUCEENNE (8) also has a chance.

    Summary: KROCANTO BELLO (8) is threatening to score. Runner-up on his reappearance, he deserves to get his head in front this time. However, it won’t be straightforward against KHALIFE DU CHENE (4), who is at his peak returning to a hard track. Impressive when racing barefoot for the first time (2nd), KING CLUB (2) could well arbitrate this duel with a smooth trip. Partnered by Benjamin Rochard, KORSO BELLO (9) will try to restore his reputation.

    Summary: OUISIANE PARIS (8) has been very consistent this year. A winner at Amiens in early June, she can take advantage of her freshness to score again. Reassuring after two below-par runs, LUMIERE BLUE (9) and should provide the main opposition in this interesting lucky last race. LEON DE SOURCE (4) is well placed on the front line and could be a threat. Dropping in class, LUCIANO ROYAL (6) has a solid chance of contesing the finish.

  1. KATUDI – Showed improvement when fifth in a Class D at Reims over 2550m on 31 May, but not enough to warrant consideration
  2. JOVIAL – In the frame in 2 of last 3, most recently runner-up in a Class G at Laval over 2850m on 5 July. is clearly close to his race and must be afforded respect
  3. JAZZ OPERA – Disqualified in a Class F at Bernay over 2800m on 28 June. Has otherwise been in cracking form, excels with his owner-driver, and can bring home the bacon
  4. KATNISS MORMOULIN – Imposed at Chartres in early-May, then finished runner-up in a Class F at Le Neubourg over 3000m on 13 June. Is confirmed at the venue, enjoys a superb entry, and will be no easy touch when push comes to shove
  5. JAZZ MELODY – Ran 8th in a Class F over 2150m here on 1 July, to continue her poor run of form, and will have nothing to contribute
  6. JACKSON HILL – Pleased more than once during the spring but disappointing in last 2, latterly 7th in a Class D over course and distance on 29 June, but has been reconfigured and will have his supporters
  7. KLARCK DE VANDEL – Third in a Class F at Enghien over 2150m on 1 July, a week after having won under the same conditions. Excels with his driver and is not without a chance of imposing
  8. JOYAU DU GRESSY – Has disappointed for the most part since returning to competition and can be ruled out
  9. INDUCTIF – Disqualified in a Class F at Enghien over 2150m on 1 July. Is not devoid of ability but is not the easiest to trust
    Summary: JAZZ OPERA (3), who returns to racing shod, is unbeaten in four starts with Sven Hoste and gets the vote ahead of the in-form KATNISS MORMOULIN (4), and KLARCK DE VANDEL (7) despite being 25m worse off. JOVIAL (2) found only one too good at Laval last time and should be thereabouts once again.

  10. GIVE ME – By no means disgraced when fifth in 25 June race of reference. Has pulled the rail this time, and is unlikely to spring any surprises, but is worth keeping an eye on
  11. FUTUR DU CHENE – Was unable to confirm Vincennes claiming victory when fourth in the same category over 2875m here on 25 June. Is decently-placed on front line though and must be respected. Chance
  12. GEDEON DAIRPET – No star but can trot when focused. Has a pair of runs under his belt, will be barefoot for his return to the capital, and from the 3 slot should not be overlooked
  13. HAPPY PACHA – Unremarkable 10th in a Class C over course and distance on 27 June. Takes a notable dip in category and the draw will do his chances no disservice
  14. GREG DE NIRO – Ran 3rd in a Vincennes claimer in the spring but has struggled since, most recently finishing 7th in a 25 June race of reference, and can be passed over
  15. IBIS QUICK – Got back in the game when fifth in a Class D at Biarritz over 2150m on 1 July but will have little to offer this time
  16. GAMIN DE MAHEY – Showed improvement on 2nd start back when 6th in a Class R at Enghien over 2875m on 25 June. Will be fully fit by now and even though starting wide, still looks a serious player
  17. FILOU SMILING – Has been a complete write-off in 2026 and even at this level has no realistic chance
  18. HERMES PAT – Sports modified shoeing for first objective of the year and will struggle to make his presence felt
  19. JARDIN D’ERABLE – Finished close 2nd in an amateurs Class G over 2875m here on 9 July. Not ideally-drawn but with form maintained will be dangerous
  20. IDEAL DANCER – Takes a notable drop in category after finishing 9th in a Class D at Vichy over 2950m on 30 June. Gave a good account last time and on quality alone can defy the draw and win a race of this nature
  21. GALEO D’AMARO – Has shown more of a liking for turf lately, and has been allocated a 2nd row start, but has been reconfigured for the occasion and will have his supporters
  22. IDEE SHANNON – In the frame in 2 of last 3, most recently third in a Class F at Le Mans over 2850m on 13 July. Is unlikely to create an upset from the 2nd row though
  23. ICARE DES VALOIS – Disappointing since imposing at Graignes in April, latterly 13th in a Class E over course and distance on 4 July. Has pulled a rough number but should still have the wherewithal to play a small role
  24. HANA D’OCCAGNES – Moderate mare that has made no impact of late and the draw only complicates matters
  25. JADESKA – Disqualified in a Class F at Pornichet over 2650m on 8 July after having failed to impress here 11 days earlier, and can be confidently disregarded
    Summary: Making his first appearance in a claimer, IDEAL DANCER (11) faces a task within his reach and may be worth siding with ahead of GAMIN DE MAHEY (7), whose latest effort was encouraging, and the two runners sent out by Anthony Duperche, FUTUR DU CHENE (2), once again barefoot, and JARDIN D’ERABLE (10), who is known as a strong finisher.

  28. NATION DOREE – Made up for Reims blip when runner-up in a Class E at Caen over 2450m on 15 June. Sports 4 pads for the first time and can play a small part if she turns
  29. NOORDZEE – Filly with a certain promise but could manage no closer than 4th in a Class E at Cabourg over 2050m on 7 July. Returns to racing left-handed though and should not be discounted
  30. NATACHA CASTEL – Is back on track following a pair of mediocre efforts, most recently third in a Class D over 2150m here on 25 June, and will not be sent out at 17.5-1 this time
  31. NOUMEA D’AMOUR – Gave a fine account on comeback when 2nd in a Class E at Marseille-Borely over 3000m on 19 June. Has been reconfigured for Enghien bow but still not a priority
  32. NUITEE D’AMOUR – In the frame in last 2 starts, latterly third in a Class E at Cabourg over 2050m on 7 July. Is arguably better going right-handed but in current form is hard to ignore
  33. NOW I’M HERE – Quality future prospect making her debut in the capital after winning 2 for 2. Impressed at Laval last time out and Yoann Lebourgeois can be confident of another big run
  34. NEED YOU AGAIN – Has found form since starting to sport pads, most recently fourth in a 2150m Class D over 2150m here on 25 June, but is out of her depth this time
  35. NOTE REBELLE – Won her first 2 before showing some spirit at Vincennes a month ago. Will appreciate the Enghien profile and with David Thomain in the bike this time must be considered a player
  36. NUIT DE MAI – Returned to the winners enclosure after securing a Class E at Les Andelys over 2525m on 5 July. Is nicely-engaged here but may just be taking on too much
  37. NOUCHKA WIND – Comfortable winner of a Class E at La Capelle over 2700m on 19 June. Steps up in category, and will be fitted with 4 pads for first time, but others still preferred
  38. NINA DAIDOU – Has done nothing but improve lately, most recently 3rd in a Class D over course and distance on 23 May, and it is just a question of time before she gets her head back in front
    Summary: Unbeaten in 2 starts to date, NOW I’M HERE (8) dominated NOUMIA D’EM (2) at Laval last month and, sporting pads for the first time, will likely be backed to repeat. Unlucky here 3 weeks ago, NATACHA CASTEL (5) is reunited with her trainer and is capable of playing the role of spoiler. NOTE REBELLE (10) is plainly in race-mode and is competitively well in.

  40. NEWTON DE MONGOCHY – Heavily-campaigned individual that has displayed little flair for the game and can be confidently disregarded
  41. NOCTALI JIEL – Failed to confirm Amiens performance when fifth in a 2150m Class D here on 27 June. Is not without merit but is not a priority either
  42. NEW ATOUT – Eliminated in all 3 starts this season, the latest a Class D at Vincennes over 2850m on 16 June. Clearly showed his form that day though and, if behaved, can wrap this up
  43. NETCHE BEST – Gave a good account on re-entry when third in a Class E at Cabourg over 2050m on 3 July. Is unlikely to lose his maiden tag but can nevertheless pick up a place cheque
  44. NARKOS DU PAIN – Was fifth in a Class D at La Capelle over 2750m on 7 July after having got off the mark at Graignes a month earlier. Should appreciate the even Enghien profile and can play a small part
  45. NY MASTER – Facile winner of a Class E at Cherbourg over 2625m on 24 June. Should take well to Enghien conditions and can challenge for the win
  46. NORTON ELCE – Good future prospect making first appearance since February but has been held back for this excellent entry and Alexandre Abrivard will be justifiably hoping to deliver
    Summary: NEW ATOUT (4) is not the easiest to handle but he reverts to racing shod and has the ability to win a race of this nature if he keeps his action together. With Yoann Lebourgeois in the sulky, he gets the vote ahead of recent Cherbourg winner NY MASTER (7), and the returning NORTON ELCE (8) who showed plenty of promise last season.

  49. NIKY D’AMOUR – Got off the mark at Vincennes in May prior to being eliminated in a Class A at Vincennes over 2175m on 9 June. Drops to a more-reasonable level but is still not a contender
  50. NEW HOPE DE COUZAN – Has taken particularly well to the discipline, most recently runner-up in a Class D at Enghien over 2250m on 23 June. Takes a step up in category but can still pick up minor honours
  51. NEWTON ELLIS – Complicated sort that lost his action on re-entry in a harness Class C over shorter on 1 July. Will have come on for the run and, with application and Alexandre Abrivard in the saddle, can play a leading role
  52. NEWTON DE BANVILLE – Switches code for first time after 3 straight harness victories. Mathieu Mottier in the saddle for the occasion and is going to take all the beating
  53. NEAL DE PERVENCHE – Got off the mark at Vincennes early last month but was then eliminated in a Class B over track and trip on 25 June. Clearly has bags of ability and on good behaviour can finish in the mix
  54. NEUILLY DE PLAY – On a fine run of form and was prepped in a harness Class C at Cabourg over 2750m on 10 July. Will be shod to preference this time and is worth keeping an eye on
  55. NEMESIS DU METZ – Finished 3rd in a Class B at Enghien over 2875m on 27 June. Enjoys a decent entry here and has every chance of competing for a place in the frame
    Summary: Despite the small field, this looks a fairly open contest. Unbeaten under harness, NEWTON DE BANVILLE (6) returns to racing shod but is still very easy to like for the win. NEWTON ELLIS (5), returning to the discipline after a break, NEMESIS DU METZ (9), who has yet to disappoint when padded, and the recently unlucky NEAL DE PERVENCHE (7), look the main dangers.

  56. MURO – Moderate element that was eliminated on re-entry in a Class E at over track and trip on 9 July and is not about to spice things up
  57. MAJON – Reassuring 4th in a Class D at La Capelle over 2750m on 19 June, but in this company will need to find more
  58. MEGAFLO BELLO – It took 19 races but lost his maiden status in a Class E over course and distance on 27 June. Reliability not his strong suit but it would be inadvisable to rule him out
  59. MILANO DARLING – Excellent campaigner that did not enjoy the best of trips here, coming 10th in a Class C under these conditions on 26 June. Is arguably better going right-handed but in current condition is easy to like for a minor placing
  60. MACBETH – Imposed at Chartres in late-May before confirming in a Class D at Caen over 2450m on 22 June. Has no Enghien references but is plainly at the top of his game and can contest a place on the podium
  61. MYSTIC D’YVEL – Just missed out on the four-timer when 2nd over 2600m at Victoria Park earlier in the month. Is confirmed here and looks main danger to MINOTOR D’ALOUETTE (7)
  62. MINOTOR D’ALOUETTE – Eliminated on re-entry at Ecommoy but more than made amends a fortnight later when comfortably securing a 2150m Class E here, and with stride in check can repeat
  63. MELKIOR CASTELLE – Encouraging 6th in a Class B at Vichy over 2950m on 30 June, following a pair of eliminations. Ran 3rd on sole start under these conditions and with Mathieu Mottier reining cannot be discounted
  64. MAROLY – Got back in the game when securing a Class D at Saint-Galmier over 2650m on 28 June. Will be shod as he was that day and with stride in check could pleasantly surprise
  65. MANY DREAMS – Has just the one win to his name but has been knocking at the door, most recently second in a Class D over 2150m here on 23 June, and should again prove competitive when it matters
    Summary: MINOTOR D’ALOUETTE (7), impressive winner here on 13 June, and a barefoot MYSTIC D’YVEL (6), who has won 3 of his last 4 starts, are preferred ahead of MANY DREAMS (10), who deserves to be rewarded for his recent consistency, and MACBETH (5), who continues to improve.

  66. KEPI ROUGE – In the frame in 5 of last 6 starts, most recently 3rd in a Class D over course and distance on 29 June, and while not a priority is still worth monitoring
  67. KAP ORNE – Finished 6th in a Class F at Pornichet over 2725m on 2 July after having imposed at Caen the previous month. Has no Enghien references but still has the wherewithal to play a prominent part
  68. KRISTAL DE JANZE – Has hardly put a foot wrong since the start of the year and was impressive on comeback when runner-up in a Class F at Pornichet over 2725m on 2 July. Is unlikely to get his head in front but can nevertheless get in on the action
  69. JAYA DU QUENNE – Was going well when eliminated here 3 weeks ago but made amends when runner-up in a Class F at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2775m on 6 July. Sports modified shoeing and, with application, will be a tough nut to crack
  70. KADO SHINING – 6th in a Class F at Sable Sur Sarthe over 2825m on 28 June. Sports a fresh configuration though, with Mathieu Mottier in the saddle, and is easy to recommend for a first-five payout
  71. IBILI D’OCCAGNES – Finished 4th in a Class F at Cabourg over 2750m on 7 July, however with shoes on a repeat seems unlikely
  72. IWAN D’AVEL – Successful in a Class D at Vichy over 2950m on 1 July to complement his Agen success 2 weeks earlier. Has a lot going for him here and will be no shrinking violet. Chance
  73. INSIDE MAN – Has done nothing noteworthy in either code for some time and is not about to change his ways
  74. IL TROTTE JARL – Finished 6th in a Class D over course and distance on 1 July. Thibaut Dromigny in the saddle this time but is unlikely to shake things up
  75. JAMES OF CARLY – Has been very hard to knock over recent weeks, latterly 3rd in a Class D at Cabourg over 2750m last Friday, and returns to racing padded and with a good hand to play. First 5
    Summary: Like a horse reborn since moving yards and switching codes last autumn, JAYA DU QUENNE (4) has been reconfigured and looks set to take all the beating. Damien Bonne will still want to be wary of IWAN D’AVEL (7), who comes to Enghien on a hat-trick with Alexandre Abrivard in the irons, and a reconfigured KAP ORNE (2), provided Victor Saussaye keeps him trotting. KRISTAL DE JANZE (3) has also been re-shod and will have claims on a place in the picture.

  76. LOU PRESTANCE – Was fourth in a Class E at Cabourg over 2750m on 7 July after having pleased over shorter here 3 weeks ago. Goes barefoot this time but others still preferred
  77. LITTLE CASH – Won 3 times earlier in the year but has been disappointing of late, most recently finishing 9th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2850m on 19 June, and is not an obvious choice
  78. LUI DU DONJON – Useful sort that returned to winning ways in a Class E at Segre over 2700m on 28 June. Damien Bonne in the bike this time and looks competitive for a spot in first 5
  79. LAKOS DE BERLES – Useful on a good day, and went close on sole Enghien start. Mathieu Mottier at the helm for 2nd start back but is not a priority this time
  80. LUIGI PAULCA – Has turned a corner since late-spring, placing in last 3 starts, most recently 3rd in a 2150m Class E here 3 weeks ago. Is plainly close to his race and a it would be inadvisable to rule him out
  81. LUCIUS DE PUCH – Outclassed the opposition in a Class E at Enghien over 2875m on 29 June. Is not the most dependable of horses but, with form maintained, can confirm
  82. LOOPING MIL – Successful in a Class F at Biarritz over 2950m on 2 July. Won with ease that day and must be taken seriously
  83. LE BIEF – Gave a fine account on comeback when third in a Class E at Vichy over 2950m on 30 June. Will have progressed for the race and looks thoroughly capable of winning this
  84. LUXOR DE MARZY – Eliminated in a Class D at Laval over 2850m on 25 June, but has already won twice this season, including over course and distance, and with application will be no soft touch
  85. L’INTOUCHABLE – Modest trotter that has failed to make his mark over recent weeks and is not about to influence the result
    Summary: LE BIEF (8), who shaped well on his comeback and has Alexandre Abrivard in the sulky, LUCIUS DE PUCH (6), impressive winner over here 2.5 weeks ago, LUXOR DE MARZY (9), reconfigured for this excellent entry, and LOOPING MIL (7), who has a good record with David Thomain, are just preferred in this open affair.

  2. JEU MAJYC – Has struggled this year and was 11th in Class D over this course and distance on 8 July. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  3. KETAMINE D’UZE – Successful twice in his last three starts, including last time out in Class F at Sablé-sur-Sarthe over 2825m on 29 June. Has disqualification issues but is also capable of scoring again
  4. KOOL GEORGES – Showed some improvement when runner-up in Class E at Laval over 2850m on 5 July. Capable of making the frame

  6. KARMA – Battling to find best form and was unplaced last time out in Class F at Les Andelys over 2525m on 5 July. Needs to do more to score
  7. KRAKEN CASTELETS – Unreliable and finished tenth in Class D at Cordemais over 2825m on 15 April. Returns from a short break but can earn some money if fit enough
  8. KEJAIME DE HOUELLE – Has won three of her last four starts, including last time out in Class D at Enghien over 2875m on 26 June. Should fight out the finish
  9. KILLER BOND – A winner of three of his last four starts, including last time out in Class F at Nantes over 3000m on 1 June. Big chance
    Summary: KILLER BOND (9) returns fresh after his victory at Nantes. Racing barefoot on all four this time, he still holds a leading chance. However, victory is not a foregone conclusion, as he faces strong opposition from KETAMINE D’UZE (3), a recent winner on the grass at Sablé-sur-Sarthe, and KEJAIME DE HOUELLE (8), who comes off an authoritative success at Enghien.

  19. LUCKY DE CALVI – At the top of his game and was runner-up in Class D at Les Andelys over 2525m on 21 June. Big chance in this line-up
    Summary: Impressive in recent weeks, LUCKY DE CALVI (10) should once again play a leading role. L’AMIRAL TURGOT (4) is certainly better than his latest run on grass suggests and deserves another chance. LIKE MESLOIS (9) comes here on the back of two victories and is ready to defend his chances strongly. A good finisher last time at Enghien, LED ZEP VET (8) is also competitive and clearly not out of it in this line-up.

    Summary: IBIZA DE CONNEE (9) faces a slightly easier field than in her last two outings. Racing barefoot and partnered by Benjamin Rochard, she can aim for victory. JACANA DE BLARY (7) won’t be barefoot on all four this time, but she is right in her category. Trained and driven by Éric Raffin, the tricky IVANHOE JARZEEN (1) is one to watch closely. In good form, ISIS DU LEARD (5) should be able to do more than just make up the numbers.

    Summary: After three prep runs to regain fitness, KAZAAL (10) showed a return to form last time out. Barefoot for the first time he could well get back to winning ways. KYSKO DE FAEL (11) may not be a prolific winner, but he is in good shape and is an interesting contender. A recent winner, KID D’ECHAL (8) will logically have his supporters, along with KONSPIRATOR GAME (2), who performs well when racing barefoot.

MAYFAIR (10) is not always reliable, but he has ability and, with the assistance of Benjamin Rochard, could make his presence felt. METEORE DE SIENNE (5) is an interesting colt and gets the nod ahead of MY HERO (12), who is capable of improvement.

    Summary: Presented barefoot for the first time, the consistent MARVELA DU DUDY (7) will be the preference. If she remains focused throughout the race, MINE D’OR (9) should also be fighting for victory. Possessing a touch of class and partnered by Benjamin Rochard, MISS LADY QUICK (2) can play an active role in the finish.

    Summary: NEFERHOTEP (1) looked likely to fight for victory at Vichy before being beaten late on. With a lighter shoeing arrangement, he could go one better this time. Convincing in his first two outings, NEBULO (3) will also attempt to open his account. A recent winner over this course and distance NEPTUNE DE JEAN (10) lines up with legitimate ambitions. Making his first start fitted with four plates, NIRVANA D’ERABLE (4) deserves serious consideration as well.

  83. HAUGAIN – Has struggled of late and finished 14th in a Class H at La Gacilly over 3100m on 5 July. Others are preferred
  84. JERRY DE BRAYE – Successful in three of his last four starts, including in a Class H at La Gacilly over 3100m on 5 July. Can score again
  85. INDIGO SIMARDIERE – Out of form and finished 10th in a Class H at Plestin-les-Grèves over 2600m on 5 July. Needs to find a few lengths to score
    Summary: An interesting lucky last race. A fascinating duel is expected between the consistent JERRY DE BRAYE (12), a recent winner on grass, and JULIO DES LANDES (6), who is returning to form and will be driven by the ever-reliable Arthur Raffin. On March 22, Sylvain Bizeul’s charge held off Yves Dreux’s representative. If he remains faultless, JAGUAR DU DOLLAR (9) has the ability to make the frame. Judged on his best form, JOYAU DE MAX (5) is another contender.
