French Selections Saturday 12th

R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX RFM (PRIX KOZYR) – 2700m (a1m1/2) – – Mounted – EUR € 59,000

KRISTAL DE JANZE – Consistently gives a good account, lastly 3rd to KENTUCKY FIRST (7) in a 2250m Enghien Class E on 13 August. Is unlikely to get his nose in front but can still figure prominently
KILOU D’YMER – Unplaced in both starts since returning from a well-earned spell. Anthony Barrier gets the nod this time but looks a minor place chance at best
KADO SHINING – Smartly won an Enghien Class E on 16 July but failed to confirm when disqualified at the same venue the following month, and Mathieu Mottier will be keen to put things right
KAPUSHA MIP – Takes to the monte code for the first time after losing her action under harness at Nort-sur-Erdre last Sunday. Has been fitted with a new configuration but is still not a player
KOALA – Not always the easiest of horses to handle but won twice under these conditions last winter. Has a pair of runs under his belt and, barefoot this time, looks a player
KENYAN BLUES – Ran 2nd to KENTUCKY FIRST (7) in a 2250m Enghien Class E on 13 August before finishing 12th in a harness Class E conditioner at Rambouillet over 2,800m on 6 September. Excels with Eric Raffin who has every right to feel bullish. Chance
KENTUCKY FIRST – Won an Enghien Class E on 13 August before being prepped in a harness Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 28 August. Is unbeaten in all 3 monte starts with Mehdi Lelièvre this year and is easy to fancy for another score
KALMIA QUICK – Returns to the ridden discipline after finishing 9th of 10 in a Laval harness Class D a fortnight ago. Has been reconfigured but still looks an outsider
JOKER DU HAMEL – Finished 4th in a Class D at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2,925m on 22 July. Has been thriving in the provinces and returns to Vincennes with a reasonable shot at making first five
IBIS DE CHAHAINS – Unplaced in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m on 5 September. Is not without merit but current form does little to inspire confidence
Summary: KENTUCKY FIRST (7), KENYAN BLUES (6) and KRISTAL DE JANZE (1) finished in that order at Enghien last month and should once again play leading roles. KOALA (5) is arguably better than the last-named and could even win this if he shows his true colours.
SELECTIONS
KENTUCKY FIRST (7) – KENYAN BLUES (6) – KOALA (5) – KRISTAL DE JANZE (1)
C2 – PRIX PARISTURF (PX LA GARENNE COLOMBES) – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class B – Harness – EUR € 52,000
MEA CULPA – Starts for the first time since finishing 11th in a Class B over course and distance on 6 May. Sports modified shoeing but is still not a concern
MALIUM – Finished 8th in a Class B at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,750m on 3 September 2026. Has won 3 of his last 4 starts under these conditions, and will be barefoot this time, but is a minor place chance at best
MAVERICK DE FAEL – Won two in a row before being disqualified in a 2725m Lisieux Class B a fortnight ago. Thrives with Clément Duvaldestin who will be expecting to set the record straight
MEYDAN VOIRONS – Second in a Class C over 2,175m here on 4 September, continuing his superb run of form. Is untested at this level but has earned the right to run in this company and should not be far off the mark
METIDJA – Unplaced at Enghien on 14 August before being disqualified in a Gr.2 over court and distance a fortnight later. Is back at a more reasonable level and cannot be discounted
MARILOU – Has taken time to come to hand this season, lastly 9th in a Class C at Enghien over 2,150m on 9 July. Has been rested since and may just need the run
MOHAWK – Has done nothing but improve over past 3 months, most recently winning a Class C at Enghien over 2,875m on 6 August, and Eric Raffin will justifiably bid to keep their unbeaten run going
MAGNOLIADARCHE – Finished 10th in a monte Group III at Enghien over 2,250m on 14 August. Is here for a change of scenery and will have nothing to contribute
MYSTIC DES FORGES – Drops down the category-ladder after running fourth in a Group II over course and distance on 29 August. Enjoys an excellent entry and Francois Lagadeuc will be eager to make hay
Summary: Few runners, but the choice is not straightforward between MYSTIC DES FORGES (9), reconfigured and ideally-entered at the limit of earnings, MOHAWK (7), unbeaten in two starts with Eric Raffin, and MAVERICK DE FAEL (3), who should logically bounce back from his recent sanction. Like a horse reborn since coming to Paris, MEYDAN VOIRONS (4) is very hard to ignore.
SELECTIONS
MYSTIC DES FORGES (9) – MOHAWK (7) – MAVERICK DE FAEL (3) – MEYDAN VOIRONS (4)
C3 – PRIX HERVE CERAN-MAILLARD – 2850m (a2m) – Gr2 – Mounted – EUR € 120,000
LOTUS GRIFF – Unplaced in a Group III at Enghien over 2,250m on 14 August, just his second appearance in the discipline. Is barefoot this time but others still preferred
LYZIA DES AGETS – Finished 4th in a Group III at Enghien over 2,250m on 14 August. Is unlikely to spring a surprise but should nevertheless hold her own
LEMON FLEURY – Has not been seen out since running excellent 2nd in Gr.1 Prix de Normandie over course and distance on 21 June. Has taken his game to a new level this year and can open his black-type account
LARA DU LERRE – Ran valiant 5th in a 2250m Enghien Gr.3 a month ago but faces a much tougher task on this occasion
LAKANA DE FELLIERE – Unplaced in a Group III at Enghien over 2,250m on 14 August, her first start since running surprise 4th in Prix de Normandie on 21 June. Is back under conditions she appreciates and should be taken seriously
LIBERTE DU GOUTIER – Third in a Group III at Enghien over 2,250m on 14 August. Is Gr.1-placed, is clearly back on the right road, and looks principal danger to LEMON FLEURY (3)
LISBONNE DRY – Unplaced, on re-entry, in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Will have come on for the race and in the hands of Eric Raffin will be no soft touch
Summary: Remarkable in the Gr.1 Prix de Normandie where he was only beaten in the final 100m by Lionheart, LEMON FLEURY (3) has been re-shod and can go one better. LIBERTE DU GOUTIER (6), who beat him in late-May here, will lead the opposition alongside LISBONNE DRY (7) who will be ridden by Eric Raffin with Paul Ploquin suspended.

LEMON FLEURY (3) – LIBERTE DU GOUTIER (6) – LISBONNE DRY (7) – LAKANA DE FELLIERE (5)
C4 – CRITERIUM DES 5 ANS – 2850m (a2m) – Gr1 – Harness – EUR € 300,000
LADY DADA – Respectable mare for the most part and recently ran 4th in a Class A over course and distance, but will have nothing to contribute at this level
LE GENTLEMAN – Disqualified in last 2, most recently Gr.2 Prix Jockey here a fortnight back. Clearly has ability but still looks no more than a minor place chance
LARIANO – Victorious in a Class B at Laval over 2,850m on 19 August. Takes a considerable hike in category and looks an interesting addition to the field
LAROZE DU GERS – Finished 3rd in a Group II at Enghien over 2,150m on 14 August. Consistently acquits herself competitively but on this occasion is out of her depth
LYRIKO BELLO – Fourth in a Class A at Alencon over 2,625m on 6 September. Is clearly out of his league and can be passed over
LOUIS VITTON MIJO – Won a Gr.3 in June but has been eliminated in both subsequent starts and even though re-shod still offers little hope
LIZZANO D’ALOUETTE – Fifth in a Group II over 2,700m here on 29 August, at 82-1, and a repeat seems most improbable
LUNELLA LEMAN – Third in a Group III over 2,700m here on 22 August. Has won a Gr.2 but on this occasion is taking on too much
LORD DU BASSIN – Made it 2 in a row when easily winning the Gr.2 Prix Jockey over 2700m here a fortnight ago and a similar performance could see him confirm
LEARN TO FLY – Fourth in a Group II over 2,700m here on 29 August, a fortnight after running 2nd in Gr.2 Prix Louis Jariel at Enghien, but is out of his depth this time
L’AS DESBOIS – Third in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Is barefoot this time, has nothing to prove in this class, and is a potential spoiler
LANCIER DU GOUTIER – Eliminated in last 2, most recently the 2700m Gr.2 Prix Jockey here 2 weeks ago. Is a serious horse though and can run away with this if he gets off on the right foot
LIONHEART – Second in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Is arguably better in the other code but latest run will have done his prospects no harm
LIZA JOSSELYN – High-class mare with a pair of conditioners under her belt since the break. Goes barefoot on this occasion and, winner last time under these conditions, should be retained
LOMBOK JIEL – Ran 6th in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Faces his first objective of the autumn and, barefoot this time, should not be underestimated
Summary: LORD DU BASSIN (9) returns to Vincennes on the back of two fine victories and in current form could give the trainer-driver team a first Critérium des 5 Ans success. LANCIER DU GOUTIER (12), who won the 4yo Criterium in 2025, is barefoot and easy to like. LOMBOK JIEL (15) already has five podium finishes at this level and, similarly barefoot, must be considered a priority. LARIANO (3) has never been tested in this class but will be barefoot and, in present shape, could set the cat among the pigeons.
SELECTIONS
LORD DU BASSIN (9) – LANCIER DU GOUTIER (12) – LOMBOK JIEL (15) – LARIANO (3)
C5 – CRITERIUM DES 3 ANS – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Gr1 – Harness – EUR € 300,000
NORMAN PIERJI – Pleasant 3rd in a Gr.2 over course and distance on 29 August. Franck Nivard has kept the drive and should prove competitive for a cheque
NIKITA – Third in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Has earned the right to take her chances at this level but is still unlikely to influence the result
NOBEL DU RIB – Finished 2nd in a Group II over course and distance on 29 August. Has improved for every run and has earned the right to take his chances. Place prospect
NET MONEY – Ran 7th in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August, 2 weeks after having placed at Enghien, but will have little to offer on this occasion
NYASSA DAXEL – In the frame in 3 of last 4, most recently 2nd to NOCIVE DU CHOQUEL (15) in Gr.2 Prix Annick Dreux over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Takes on the colts this time though and chances appear limited
NOVECENTO – Finished 5th in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Is as honest as the day is long but already looks outclassed
NAYA D’ERONVILLE – Successful in a Group III over course and distance on 22 August, her first start at Group level. Takes a notable hike in class but is an improving filly with classic ambitions. Chance
NORMA JEANE – Fourth in a Group II over course and distance on 29 August, at 46-1, and is unlikely to confirm
NOELA JOSSELYN – Finished 5th in a Group II over course and distance on 29 August, a fortnight after having run 2nd at Enghien, but still has a lot more to find
NUEVO CASH – Tricky but talented colt that has been somewhat out of sorts lately, lastly disqualified in 29 August race of reference. Is a Gr.2 winner though, hails from a yard firing on all cylinders, and will have his supporters
NELSON EMGE – Finished 4th in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Seldom gets his nose in front, and is unlikely to this time either, but should nevertheless hold his own
NOB HILL – Finished 3rd in a Group III over course and distance on 22 August. Has never excelled at Gr.1 level but sports 4 pads for the first time and in current form is easy to fancy for a first-five payout
NEO DE JOUDES – Runner-up in a Group III at Vincennes over 2,700m on 22 August. Is patently close to his race and Eric Raffin will be relishing the test. Claim
NAT KING COLE – Won a Group II over course and distance on 29 August. Has done nothing but improve over recent weeks and although unlikely to win this can nevertheless finish in the mix
NOCIVE DU CHOQUEL – Went close on re-entry, coning 2nd in a valuable Gr.3 over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Will have improved for the run and can secure a maiden Gr.1
Summary: A very strong Critérium des 3 Ans in prospect. NEO DE JOUDES (13), on the way up, will be looking to reverse the form with NOCIVE DU CHOQUEL (15) who beat him in the Prix Albert Viel in June, however NAYA D’ERONVILLE (7), whose limits have yet to be established, can also play a prominent role. Watch out for NOBEL DU RIB (3), who left a fine impression behind NAT KING COLE (14) in the Gr.2 Prix Jacques de Vaulogé.

NEO DE JOUDES (13) – NOCIVE DU CHOQUEL (15) – NAYA D’ERONVILLE (7) – NOBEL DU RIB (3)
C6 – CRITERIUM DES 4 ANS – 2850m (a2m) – Gr1 – Harness – EUR € 300,000
MOSTRA DE BANVILLE – Delicate filly that has not lived up to expectations and in this company has no possible chance
MILTON DU NOYER – Finished 3rd in a Group II at Enghien over 2,150m on 14 August, just missing out on the six-timer. Has won over the distance on the inner course but can expect to find this a much tougher test
MISTRAL DU GOUTIER – Ran 6th in Gr.2 Prix Phaeton at Enghien before being subsequently disqualified but still has too much to find
MELLOW SPEED – Should not be too hastily-judged for coming only 5th in Gr.2 Prix Gaston Brunet on 29 August. Will be barefoot this time and JMB will be eager to set the record straight
MISTRAL DU BOIS – Ran 6th in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Will be barefoot this time but others still easier to back
MOLLY MADRIK – Sprang something of a surprise when successful in a Group II over 2,700m here on 29 August. A repeat, however, seems unlikely
MIDWAY LADY – Finished 4th in a Group II at Enghien over 2,150m on 14 August. Is Gr.2-placed but still a maiden and unlikely to create an upset
MONZON NORMAND – Produced a 30-1 surprise when 4th in a 2700m Gr.2 here a fortnight ago. Matthieu Abrivard gets the nod this time bit is still not an obvious choice
MAGIC MAN – Excellent runner-up in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Is plainly close to his race and can bring the fight to MACK DE BLARY (16)
MOUSTIK LA GOVELLE – Won a monte Gr.1 in June, then was eliminated on re-entry in Prix Gaston Brunet on 29 August. Has yet to win a Group race under harness but it is just a question of time and temperament. Attention
MENTOR DE PLAY – Third in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August 2026. Has been knocking at the door this summer and has never failed to fire over 2850m of the main track
MAESTRO VRIE – Quality colt that won Gr.2 Prix Gaston Brunet over 2700m here 2 weeks ago. Excels with Mathieu Mottier reining and is unlikely to be far off the mark
MADRID HAUFOR – Was unable to secure the hat-trick when second in a Group II over 2700m here on 29 August. Takes on the colts this time though and looks a minor place chance at best
MAITRE JACQUES – Goes barefoot for the first time after being disqualified in a 2150m Enghien Gr.2 a month ago. Worth bearing in mind that he is a 2 time Gr.1 winner and should not be underestimated
MAGIC NIGHT – Finished 3rd in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Appears to be close to her best and can play a part if Benjamin Rochard keeps her focused
MACK DE BLARY – Dominated the opposition in a Group II at Enghien over 2,150m on 14 August, and is easy to like for a third Gr.1 success
Summary: An extremely open Critérium des 4 Ans sees MACK DE BLARY (16), the richest horse here who has returned to his best, MAGIC MAN (9), capable on a good day of beating them all, MOUSTIK LA GOVELLE (10), barefoot for the first time, MELLOW SPEED (4), who was not the luckiest in the Prix Gaston Brunet, and MAESTRO VRIE (12), winner that day, all in with a realistic shout.

C7 – PRIX ASSO PASSERELLE RACE AND CARE – 2850m (a2m) – – Harness – EUR € 75,000
HISTOIRE PHILS – Has been very disappointing all year, latterly unplaced in a Feurs Class B last Monday, and has no realistic chance
JUST A MIDI – Is not devoid of ability but has been off the boil since June and even though reconfigured, is still not an obvious choice
COLBERT WF – Fourth in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,850m on 29 August 2026. Is confirmed in this category and looks competitively well in
HOMARD LAND – Finished 5th in a Group III at Saint Malo over 2,950m on 5 August. Is one of the more reliable elements here and drops back in category with a decent chance of imposing
FUTUR DU CHENE – Out of the picture in last 2 starts, most recently eliminated in a Divonne Class B 3 weeks ago, and can expect to have few takers
GAZ D’OCCAGNES – Sprang a 13-1 surprise when victorious in a Divonne Class B 3 weeks ago. Is not the biggest fan of Vincennes though and can be passed over
GINO VIVA – Has not been seen out since finishing unplaced in a Class A over course and distance on 13 May. Is barefoot for re-entry but still not a concern
INDY DARK – Honest element but is not the most talented horse here. Ran 6th in a Laval Class D 3 weeks ago and is out of his depth
JET EXPRESS – Just missed out on another victory when headed in a Group III over 2,700m here on 22 August. Has nothing to prove at this level and looks the one to beat
JONGLEUSE DE LUNE – Unplaced in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 23 August when being prepared for this. Has yet to deliver so this term but goes barefoot on this occasion and merits respect
IRON DU GERS – Third in a Class B at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2,925m on 22 August, 12 days after winning a Cagnes Gr.3 and, with JMB back in the bike, must not be overlooked
HAMILTON DU HAM – Won a Cagnes Class B on 13 July but has twice been unable to confirm. Boasts superb course-and-distance references though and should not be written off
HEADSCOTT – Made amends for Enghien elimination when 2nd in a Cagnes Class B 3 weeks ago. Presents respectable course-and-distance credentials and, with form maintained, can again finish close
Summary: Competitively-shod for the first time since June 2025, JET EXPRESS (9) will logically attract plenty of support. HOMARD LAND (4), in fine shape and reunited with Eric Raffin, and HEADSCOTT (13), ideally-entered, will lead the opposition alongside COLBERT WF (3) who has been acquitting himself in good order recently.
SELECTIONS
JET EXPRESS (9) – HOMARD LAND (4) – HEADSCOTT (13) – COLBERT WF (3)
C8 – PRIX FEDE FRANCAISE DE LA RECONVERSION – 2100m (a1m1/4) – – Harness – EUR € 60,000
KYNTE FLUSH – Somewhat made up for July elimination when 4th in a Divonne Class F 3 weeks ago. In this category though is unlikely to have many friends
LAUREATE DRY – Disqualified in a Laval Class D on 23 August. Has been very disappointing over recent months and is unlikely to trouble the opposition
LIKE YOU – Delicate mare that ran 5th in a Vibraye Class D in mid-August but others still easier to trust
KINASSE DE VIVOIN – Successful in a Class F at Bagnoles De L’Orne over 2,850m on 23 August. Benefits from a good draw but in this field will have too much to do
LOVELY WILMA – Secured a Class C at Enghien over 2,150m on 25 July. Has been very hard to fault since returning in the spring and from the 5 slot looks dangerous
LILY DE L’AUNAY – Unplaced in a Class B at Enghien over 2,875m on 6 August, her first start since late-May. Will have progressed for the run, has won 2 from 4 under these conditions, and may just be the one to beat
KASSIOPEE DREAM – Lacklustre 7th in a Class F at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,650m on 3 September, but is plainly better than that and, reunited with P-Y Verva who won with her in July, can get straight back in the game
LARA CROFT – Runner-up in a Class C at Vichy over 2,950m on 1 August. Won her sole start under these conditions and, in spite of a wide draw, still has a lot to offer
ELTYME – Finished 6th in a Class F at Enghien over 2,150m on 29 July, having run 2nd over longer a month earlier. Goes well for François Lagadeuc but is being aimed too high this time
LOUANGE CASTELETS – Runner-up in a Class C at Chatelaillon over 2,625m on 29 July, 2.5 weeks after having imposed at Enghien. Has never failed to deliver with Eric Raffin reining and is not about to return home empty-handed
RAGAZZA DU CHENE – Won a competitive Class F at Enghien on 25 July but failed to confirm 2.5 weeks later in a Class E there. Is clearly in shape though and will be reunited with Benjamin Rochard who scored with her that day
PERFECT – Fifth in a Class D at Saint Malo over 2,950m on 5 August. Has been acquitting herself honourably but will need to find more this time around
KILLARNEY – Unplaced in a Class F at Enghien over 2,150m on 25 July. Has made no impact for some time and is not about to start now
PEAK OF GLORY – Swedish mare that was given an easy introduction to France when 11th in a Class D over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Mathieu Mottier in the bike this time and, while not a priority, is still worth monitoring
Summary: It’s open. LILY DE L’AUNAY (6), particularly effective under these conditions, LOVELY WILMA (5), at the top of her game, KASSIOPEE DREAM (7), who gets on well with Pierre-Yves Verva, and LARA CROFT (8), barefoot following an excellent comeback, are all capable of playing leading roles.

C9 – PRIX RMC (PRIX DE DENAIN) – 2850m (a2m) – – Harness – EUR € 59,000
TOSCANA SOUTHWIND – Won a Class E at Caen in May but has done nothing of note since, most recently 12th in a Class E at Enghien over 2,150m on 12 August, and will first need to get her house in order
DILVA JET – Ran 3rd over course and distance before coming 4th in a Saint-Malo Class E early last month. Is shod to preference this time and can give DENIA (13) a run for her money
JORIA MESLOISE – Encouraged at Pornichet on 23 July but failed to confirm under the saddle a month later when 11th in a Class E at the same venue, and is not a priority
JUNKIE (SWE) – Unplaced in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 19 August. Was given an easy re-entry run that day, goes barefoot this time though and with Alexandre Abrivard reining must not be underestimated
JESTA BUISSONAY – Unplaced in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 19 August. Has shown more under the saddle recently and can be passed over
ISOLEE DU BOUILLON – Modest 6th in a Class E at Agon on 16 August. Placed twice at Vincennes earlier in the year but current form does little to inspire confidence
JOCELYNE – Made up for Cabourg disqualification when 4th in a Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 21 August. Is a serious trotter when focused and, already a winner with her driver, must be afforded respect
DADA DEL RONCO – Finished 3rd in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 19 August. Looks to be close to her best and has every chance of trotting her way into the picture
FAXIMA – Reassuring 4th at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 8 August but was unable to confirm when eliminated in a Laval Class D 11 days later, and others easier to back
JALOUZ D’OLIVERIE – Placed in 2, including over course and distance, before being prepped at Laval a fortnight ago. Is barefoot this time however and will be expected to show improvement
JOLIE DE L’AUMANCE – Comes to the capital after three solid efforts in the provinces but is taking on too much this time
JOYCE DES GRANGES – Finished 2nd in a Class E at Vittel over 2,700m on 15 August. Returns to her usual formula and with Benjamin Rochard reining will be afforded every chance
DENIA – Finished 6th in a monte Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 10 July. Comes here fresh, has form under these conditions, and can impose
Summary: Erik Bondo appears to hold the key to this race with DENIA (13), ideally-engaged, DILVA JET (2), close to her race and reconfigured for the occasion, and DADA DEL RONCO (8), who is plainly back on track. JOCELYNE (7), whose only barefoot start on the sand resulted in victory, looks next best.

R3 AUTEUIL [L-H]

C1 – PRIX FINOT (POULAINS) – 3600m (a2m1/4) – TURF – – Hurdles – EUR € 58,000

KING DALEE – Finished 3rd on the flat at Clairefontaine over 2400m on August 3. Tries hurdles and he can be expected to know what is required. Live chance
NONCHALANT – Gelding by Choeur Du Nord, the dam was unraced. Can be expected to improve for this run and is best watched for the time being
ALPHA BOREAL – Gelding by Cloth Of Stars, the dam won 5 races, 1 on the flat and the rest over jumps, including a Listed hurdle. The betting can be the best guide
CLOVIS D’ANJOU – Gelding by Clovis Du Berlais, the dam was unraced. Stable runners are well respected on debut and he is worth a market inspection
NOUVEAUTHAIX ALLEN – Gelding by Seahenge, the dam was placed on the flat over 2300m. Stable newcomers are well prepared and this gelding is worth monitoring in the betting for clues
COLESCOTT – Gelding by Masked Marvel, the dam won 1 race over jumps. From a top-stable that will have this newcomer well prepared. In the mix
NEVERLAND – Came home 8th in a Class 4 at Pompadour over 2,600m on 15 August 2026 on the flat. Tries hurdles and is unappealing
GREAT THANK – Gelding by Great Pretender, the dam won 2 races. Likely to improve for this debut run and others make more appeal
STALKY – Gelding by Choeur Du Nord, the dam was unraced. From a Top training partnership, and with a top-jockey booked to ride he can play a lead role on debut
PERFECT SONG – Gelding by Nirvana Du Berlais, the dam won 2 raced on the flat. From a stable that knows the time of day. The betting patterns can be the most informative guide
TELMORION – Finished 4th on the sole start on the flat over 2400m at Clairefontaine in a conditions race on August 3. Hurdles bow and he is one to watch with the future in mind
HOLD ME CHARLY – Gelding by Sea Moon, the dam never raced in France. Does not appeal as a likely first time out winners and he would be a surprise winner
NARVICK SWEEN – Gelding by Nirvana Du Berlais, the dam won 1 race on the flat. Some good aspects to his profile and he is one to keep onside on racecourse bow
NARKIS BALL – Successful in a Maiden at Beaupreau over 2,400m on 22 August 2026 on the flat. Nice pedigree and can do well over hurdles. Warrants attention and can have a say on hurdles debut
NATIF DE CARTIGNY – Gelding by Bathyrhon, the dam won 6 races on the flat. Taking profile and from a good trainer that will have this horse well schooled. Merits consideration
MILORD DU BERLAIS – Gelding by Masked Marvel, the dam won 2 races including a Grade 3 chase and was placed in a Grade 1 chase. Live chance on his debut
Summary: KING DALEE (1) has the benefit of having had a run on the flat, where he was a decent third at Clairefontaine in a conditions race and he will be well prepared for this hurdles debut. MILORD DU BERLAIS (16) has a taking profile and will be well schooled by his astute trainer. He can make his presence felt, as can COLESCOTT (6) who looks the part on paper and is one to pay attention to in the betting for clues. STALKY (9) is the mount of James Reveley and from the George/ Zetterholm powerhouse. He is one to consider strongly if the betting patterns are lively.

NIKITA WINNER – Filly by Bande, the dam was placed over hurdles. She will likely improve for this outing and is one to monitor in the betting for any market moves
LES YEUX REVOLVER – Came home 8th in a Maiden at Granville over 2,400m on 26 July 2026. Hurdling debut and she might find this difficult

CALEDONIE SIM – Unplaced in four runs on the flat, the latter over 2200m in a handicap at Clairefonatine on August 7. Hard to recommend
Summary: SAINTE VANOWE (3) will be well schooled for this fillies hurdle and with James Reveley booked to ride she can get off the mark on her debut. L’ASTROBALE (16) ran with promise on the flat on her debut at Calirefontaine when she was third and can build on that and play a lead role on hurdles bow. GIRL POWER (6) won on her sole start on the flat at Beaupreau last month and is one to pay attention to on her hurdling debut. FAVELA CHIC (5) is another to consider and she is worth a market check for clues.

Summary: Although absent since 2024, ROYAL SAGA (7) can be expected to be ready to go and this classy operator can make a winning return. His main danger could be LA MARCHE BLEUE (1), who was a pleasing third on his penultimate start in early May at this track in a Class 1 chase.

Summary: L’ELEGANCE (2) won with a nice amount in hand in a Class 4 hurdle at Compiegne on her latest start and can step forward from that and follow up.

Summary: SPANISH PRINCE (11) could be the answer to this hurdle race for newcomers over jumps. He is a winner twice on the flat and was a decent second two runs back at Compiegne on the level over 2800m in a Class 2 handicap. KIROVSKY (7) has been placed on all of his five starts and should be well prepared by his astute trainer for his hurdles debut. DAHMAN (8) is another to consider after a win on debut on the flat at Vichy in May and he looks like a nice prospect. MATERHORN PARADISE (3) could be the best of the remainder.

She has three second placed runs so far, the latest in a Listed chase at this venue on October 12, 2025. His main threat could be TEEN SPIRIT (2), who won on his chase debut at this track in early May on his latest start. POPULAS (3) is another to pay attention to, having finished fourth in a Grade 3 chase on his latest start at this track late in May. SANTCOKO (6) heads the remainder.

Summary: The tentative vote goes to MAGIE DU CHENET (11) in what looks a very open handicap hurdle. She has been running well recently with several placed efforts and can edge thus ahead of MELCHIOR DU LARGE (1), who has to deal with top-weight but can be expected to make an impact. MONNAIE COURANTE (7) has solid each-way aspirations and ran well at this track in a Class 3 hurdle when third in late April. She will be ready to go after a layoff. PAREIL PAREIL (13) has not got inspiring form figures but has shown talent and can make the top four with a clear round of jumping.

Summary: DEHADAME (14) has solid claims after a decent second in a handicap hurdle at Clairefontaine in late June on her latest outing.

Summary: KRISTOLYX (1) was imperious when winning on his debut in a quality field and can confirm that form. APPLICATION (6) should not be judged on his recent failure in a handicap and is capable of bouncing back to score. LA BELLE ISOLA (3), an honourable fifth in the Prix de la Vallée d’Auge (Listed), also has claims. COME CHOPE (2) made a winning debut and returns from a break with plenty of interest.

ISLA BONITA (4) made a favourable impression when making her debut and deserves another chance.

Summary: VARENNE (5) has been convincing on several occasions this summer and looks a serious contender for victory, particularly as he receives weight from EYE OF THE TIGER (3), who finished ahead of him on soft ground at Dax last time. Acquired out of a claiming race after finishing fourth at Clairefontaine on August 29th, PURPLE MOOD (2) could make an immediate impact for his new connections. READY TO GO (9) finished strongly last time and should also have a say.

Runner-up in the Qatar International Cup at Doha this winter, LINO (4) is likely to give him plenty to think about. A high-class mare, BIANCA DE GHAZAL (5) should not be written off too quickly, while stablemate AD DEBEL (1) will be looking to bounce back from his recent failure.

Summary: KONQUERANT (4) is seeking a first win and quickly made a mistake last time, but with a proven apprentice on board, this could be the day he puts it all together. JUSTIN DE VALMONT (10) and JOBERMAN DU HOME (9) can both make their presence felt in their current form. KLEOPATRE D’ALFORT (2) won with today’s partner this summer and should be competitive again.

NOUMEA DE GINAI (4), her stablemate, will also have a say if keeping her mind on the job. NINA SUPREME (3) has plenty going for her and can get involved with the finish as well, NAUSICAA DEUGE (2), who is on the right track, also deserves consideration in a competitive lucky last race.
