  38. CONSPIRATOR – Unplaced in a Class 3 at Clairefontaine over 1,600m on 6 July. Consistent before that and could earn some more money

NITY GALESTE (10), an impressive second on his debut in this category, and AMINACO (12), who arrives in good form are two others that can get involved with the finish.

    Summary: DARYZAN (6) was just touched off into second in a Group II contest and is packed with ability which will pursue him into claiming his first Group III title here. He looks to take some beating. PHINEAS (5) is already a five-time winner from eight starts and has clinched two listed races already. He will give the top elect something to think about here. NITOI (2) was a track and trip winner in his penultimate start and must be given serious consideration.

    Summary: PRECIOSO (5) furnished up into second last time out and has every chance of going one more in this competitive Handicap. MAKAROV (1) romped home in his previous outing and would be of no surprise if he follows up. AVENTINO (11) has not been in the best shape of late and will be in search of redeeming himself this time around. WESTMINSTER NIGHT (13) heads the rest here.

    Summary: ZERO STRESS (7) is long overdue her second career win and bumps the perfect field where she could execute a successful performance. FILLETTE DU HOULEY (9) has built up the urge to shed her maiden and has the capabilities of doing so in this sort of event. ROMANCIER NOCTURNE (8) is another who is yet to taste success and will be in with a shout if he remains wise here. KAPKAN (6) creeps closer to the finishing line after a bold second and a repetition of that effort can account for him making a big splash here.

    Summary: HABIBA (2) found herself in the placings when running a promising third and she meets a set of opposition where she can make bold claims. She must have a bright winning chance. NAIDEE (4) is always there and thereabout and looks to have a podium chance here. QUEEN LUNA GAME (5) steps back to the mile here and although she looks to prefer further, she will be mowing them down. PRESSURE TEST (9) firms up the top four selection and deserves a mention.

    Summary: TRUE VALUE (9) is no slouch to racing and knows how to win a race being a six-time winner. She could add to her winning tally as she looks poised to strike again. EYWA (8) is another well-experienced vixen and will be flying at her opposition. She can give the top elect a run for her money here. ELENKA (10) should not be discounted from any betting calculations. EXCESSIVE (6) can awaken this field if they caught asleep on her form.

C1 – PRIX TIMOKO – 2400m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 20,000

  1. NATIF D’ORLY – Won his maiden in May but has struggled since being stepped up in category and can be passed over
  2. NINIO BELLO – Gave a fine account to lose his maiden tag in a Class F at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 28 August and looks eminently capable of confirming
  3. NUMENOR’S FELLA – Fifth in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,050m on 21 August, 2 weeks after having run 3rd in a Class F over course and distance. Faces a tougher task this time though and looks no more than a minor place prospect
  4. NICOLO DE FELLIERE – Failed to make any impression at Enghien in July before losing his action in a Pornichet Class E 2.5 weeks ago, and will have few friends in the markets
  5. NET MATCH – Has gone from strength to strength over recent months, lastly winning a 2500m Vibraye Class F two weeks ago and has a realistic chance of picking up another cheque
  6. NEVERGIVEUP ORADEL – Fifth in a Class E at Bernay over 2,800m on 30 August. Will sport pads as he did when 2nd in a Saint-Malo Class F earlier that month and will be expected to give NINIO BELLO (2) a run for his money
  7. NEW LIFE STAR – Showed early promise but failed to make any impact in last three and can expect to have few takers
  8. NODSON D’ECHAL – Imposed at Saint-Malo in mid-August before running 2nd in a Strasbourg Class E 12 days later. Has yet to disappoint for Alexandre Bodin and is unlikely to begin now
  9. NICOLAS STAR – Has yet to deliver on a hard surface but is unbeaten in 2 on turf, lastly a Francheville Class F on 15 August. Is reunited with Benjamin Rochard and looks competitive for a place in the frame
  10. NOISETTE COHIAIS – Returns to a hard surface following some solid efforts on turf, most recently 3rd in an Erbray Class E a fortnight ago. Is unlikely to get her head in front, but nevertheless has the wherewithal to finish in the mix
    Summary: The choice is not straightforward between NINIO BELLO (2), a full-brother to Ibiza Bella, who opened his account at the second attempt, NEVERGIVEUP ORADEL (6), in-form and sporting 4 pads for the occasion, NODSON D’ECHAL (8), who has turned a corner lately, and recent turf winner NICOLAS STAR (9), who has been fitted with pads for the first time.

  12. MAHIAHIASTART – Has not been seen out since winning a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 6 December 2025 and is going to need the race
  13. MONONOKE DE BRETT – Surprise winner of a Lisieux Class F in May but has done little of note since and can be ruled out
  14. MANZANA TIME – Placed in 2 before running lacklustre 10th in a Cabourg Class E on 25 August. Is clearly better than that and should bounce back if she takes to the new conditions
  15. MONA VILI – Sports a fresh configuration after losing her action in a Toulouse Class E earlier in the month, but still represents no more than a minor place prospect
  16. MAYA DU PREVALAY – Produced a pair of good performances before being disqualified in a 2400m Amiens Class E last weekend. Takes on some better horses this time but on good behaviour can start to make amends
  17. MA JOLIE CHOSE – Imposed under the saddle at Cabourg on 11 August before being eliminated under harness at Vichy. Is reunited with Alexandre Bodin who scored with him that day and sports a new configuration. Claim
  18. MISS WINNER – Is not devoid of talent but comes to the venue on the back of 3 straight sanctions and others will be easier to trust
  19. MISS COCO – Finished 4th in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 1 September 2026. Consistently gives everything she can, returns to racing shod, and can give this a good go
  20. MAYA DJOB – Opened her autumn account in a Vibraye Class F a fortnight ago. Makes just second appearance on a hard surface and the engagement of Eric Raffin has every chance of paying off. Chance
  21. MANDARINE TIVO – Fourth in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 25 August 2026. Out of the first four just once in last eight starts and has every chance of finishing close
  22. MONNAIE DE VIETTE – Sprang something of a surprise when victorious in a 2900m Class F at Chateauroux 3 weeks ago, however a repeat seems most unlikely
  23. MOUSSETTE – Third in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 28 July, 2.5 weeks after having won at Saint-Malo. Benefits from a terrific entry and is unlikely to disappoint
    Summary: MA JOLIE CHOSE (7), complicated but reconfigured and in fine shape, MAYA DJOB (10), yet to finish out of the first three, MOUSSETTE (13), who should appreciate this track, and MANZANA TIME (4), who should not be too quickly-condemned for her latest run, are all capable of fighting it out.

  24. MISTER CAPELLO – Fourth in a Class E at Laval over 2,850m on 28 August, at 101-1, and a repeat seems most improbable
  25. MARIO GENDREEN – Has taken his game to a new level starting to race barefoot, most recently winning a 2950m Vichy Class F on 25 August, and looks competitive once more
  26. MONTROSE VERGNIER – Quality individual making his first appearance since November 2025. Races barefoot for the first time but may just need the run
  27. MARIO CART – Ran 3rd over 2300m here on 7 August, 3 weeks before coming 4th on turf at Royan. Faces some superior horses this time and is unlikely to shake things up
  28. MBAPPE RENKA – Was unable to confirm Granville victory when 10th in an Alencon Class E a week ago. Races first-time barefoot and can play a small role if he takes to the new conditions
  29. MILTON DU CHATELET – Ran 6th in a Class E at Laval over 2,850m on 28 August. Has been very disappointing in 2026 and is not a concern
  30. MAZEPPA – Made it three on the trot when routing the opposition in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,775m on 15 July, and with Eric Raffin back in the bike, will be expected to keep the gravy train going
  31. MANHATTAN CERA – Runner-up, for the 3rd time in a row, in a Class F at St Jean De Monts over 2,625m on 2 August. Is unlikely to open his 2026 account but should nonetheless hold his own
  32. MUJERIEGO – Not the easiest of horses to use, coming here after three straight disqualifications, but is hard to fault when focused and the engagement of Benjamin Rochard will only work in his favour. Place chance
  33. MILLESIME VIVROT – Nicely-engaged sort that should not be too quickly-judged for faulting in a Mauquenchy Class E early last month. Trainer back in the bike and will be determined to set the record straight
    Summary: Increasingly seductive, MAZEPPA (7) should, barring mishap, preserve his unbeaten record. MILLESIME VIVROT (10), ideally-entered and set to bounce back from last month’s disqualification, MARIO GENDREEN (2), convincing winner at Vichy last time, and the tricky MUJERIEGO (9), who is entrusted to Benjamin Rochard, will attempt to give him something to think about.

  34. LACLOS – Occasionally spirited, as he was at Landivisiau a week ago, but has otherwise been in fine shape. Takes a step up in category but on good behaviour should hold his own
  35. LASCAR PILE – Starts for the first time since finishing unplaced in a Class E at Caen over 2,450m on 25 April, and with shoes fitted will have nothing to contribute
  36. LEADER BEACH – Finished 4th in a Class E Apprentices’ race at Cabourg over 2,050m on 1 September. Is never the easiest to gauge but starts in front and in current condition is easy to like for a place in first five
  37. LOUSTIC VERT – Starts for the first time since running 7th in a Class E at Durtal over 2,825m on 21 June. Is plainly in race-mode and from the front line should not be disgraced
  38. LATHOS DE VIVOIN – Second in a Class E at Royan-La Palmyre over 2,475m on 30 August. Is clearly in fine fettle and with Benjamin Rochard in the bike will not be going home empty-handed
  39. LA DAME DE COEUR – Finished 2nd in a Class E at Arras over 2,900m on 23 August. Has made the frame in her last 6 starts and it is only a question of time before she gets her head in front
  40. LATINO BEJI – Ran 7th in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 28 August, his first start since April. Is being prepared for a ridden campaign and will have other priorities
  41. LESTANCIA BELLA – Imposed at La Rochelle in late-July, 3 weeks before repeating in a Class D at Auch over 2,800m. Seldom disappoints with Antoine Wiels reining and could well secure the hat-trick
  42. LADY BIRD JENILAT – Mare with bags of ability but disqualified in last two. Stays shod for the occasion and can be passed over
  43. LE MIRACLE – Put away on 11 July following 3 successive disqualifications. Has had time to freshen up, has been re-shod, and is not without a chance of picking up a cheque
  44. LOVE DANCER – Has enjoyed something of a renaissance since late-May, most recently dominating a Class E at Royan-La Palmyre over 2,475m on 30 August, and has every chance of making his Chateaubriant bow a winning one
  45. LOULOU DES OUBEAUX – Unable to secure the three-timer when fifth in a Class C at Chatelaillon over 2,625m on 29 July. Stays shod this time and best to keep one’s powder dry
    Summary: LOVE DANCER (11), at the top of his game and triumphant last time in the day’s configuration, and LESTANCIA BELLA (8), making her Chateaubriant debut on a hat-trick, can be preferred to the ultra-consistent LA DAME DE COEUR (6), and LATHOS DE VIVOIN (5), who could not have been better-engaged.

  46. FRANKY BAHIA – Tenacious winner of a Saint-Galmier Class F 3 weeks ago. Has taken well to French conditions and will not be far from the action when push comes to shove
  47. TRIXWITHTRIMMIX – Missed out by little at Saint-Malo a month before coming 4th in a Class F on turf last Sunday. Has looked a different horse over recent weeks and represents a decent first-five prospect
  48. I CAN WIN GARDENIA – Makes second sortie south after running 3rd over a mile in Tingsryd 3 weeks ago. Takes on a tougher bunch this time though and chances appear limited
  49. EVER SO MUCH – No slouch but has been out of sorts lately and will first need to reassure
  50. EDIMA – Fifth in a Class F at Argentan over 1,609m on 8 August. Is not the most reliable horse here but has clearly been improving and cannot be discounted
  51. THAT’S IT – Disqualified in a Class E at Bernay over 2,800m on 30 August, a month after having imposed at Mantorp, but has it all to do this time around
  52. KELLE BELLE JASMA – Finished 10th in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,775m on 21 August. Out of the picture in last 2 starts and even though barefoot this time is not an obvious choice
  53. IMANOLO DE LOU – Has made some progress lately, most recently last of 7 in a Châtelaillon-La Rochelle Class G early last month, but will still have nothing to offer
  54. BELGIQUE (SWE) – Makes first start south of the nordics after having run 3rd over 2140m in Färjestad on 17 August. Anthony Barrier in the bike this time but looks a minor place chance at best
  55. PLAYBOY DE REVE – Returns to France after holding his own in a valuable 2350m event at Waregem on 1 September. Is reunited with Eric Raffin and, considering the entry, is a candidate for success
  56. KISS ME AGAIN – Quality element that has not been seen out since running 3rd in a Class C at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 2,650m on 26 January and is going to need the race
  57. KESITO D’URVILLE – Won 2 of last 3, most recently a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 21 August. Is a tough nut to crack when barefoot and can repeat
  58. HOMMAGE DE TILLARD – Out of the picture in last 2 but can trot. Ran 5th under these conditions in June and, given the entry, is thoroughly capable of confirming
  59. KAISER – Serious sort that ran 3rd to KESITO D’URVILLE (12) in a 2750m Cabourg Class D on 21 August. Is close to winning another, benefits from a superb entry, and will be no pushover
    Summary: At the top of his game, KESITO D’URVILLE (12) made a good impression at Cabourg recently and can continue in the same vein, even in the presence of a barefoot PLAYBOY DE REVE (10), who is ideally-engaged and 25m better off, and KAISER (14), who has not put a foot wrong for some time. FRANKY BAHIA (1) has been going from strength to strength and won smartly at Saint-Galmier.

  60. OLERON SEVEN – Untried colt from a good home. Qualified in a superb 1’15”9 at Meslay-du-Maine 10 days ago and will be well-backed to win this
  61. OMEGA DU FER – Career debutante that qualified in 1’19’8 at Caen on 9 June and is not an obvious choice first time out
  62. OLADY DANICA – Disqualified on debut in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,150m on 8 August and can expect to have few friends
  63. OLYMPE DE BOISNEY – Disqualified on debut in a Class E at Bernay over 2,300m on 30 August. Finds herself in better company here and chances appear limited
  64. OPEN LETTER – Was disqualified early in a Cabourg Class F on 1 September but showed her form all the same, and will not be far off the mark if Anthony Barrier keeps her focused
  65. ONLY DE BANVILLE – Finished 4th in a Class E at Bernay over 2,300m on 30 August, first time out. Takes on a superior lot this time and is unlikely to upset the status quo
  66. OLYMPE KAYZ – Somewhat made up for debut disqualification when 4th in a Cabourg Class F on 1 September. Has ground to make up but will have her supporters
  67. OMERTA LIAMONE – Ran 5th at Arras a fortnight before confirming in a Class E at Amiens last weekend. Is unlikely to spring any surprises but can nevertheless hold her own
  68. OLINA BELLA – Finished 5th in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,050m on 4 August. Has a lot of room for progress and could well finish closer this time
  69. OPTIMISTIC TWO – Gave a good account on debut 3 weeks ago when 2nd in a Class G at Agon-Coutainville. Will have progressed for the run and can contest the finish
  70. OUMEA QUEEN – Ran 2nd on debut at Ecommoy in July but was eliminated in an Enghien Class C early last month and cannot be considered a contender
    Summary: OLERON SEVEN (1) made a big impression at Meslay-du-Maine on 3 September, qualifying alone in 1’15”9, and even without Eric Raffin reining would still garner the lion’s share of support. Entrusted to Benjamin Rochard, OPTIMISTIC TWO (10) will attempt to confirm her promising debut at Agon-Coutainville and is preferred to the tricky OPEN LETTER (5), who showed everything she had when finishing second at Cabourg last time. OLINA BELLA (9) is open to improvement.

  72. NARUTO DU HAMEAU – Starts for the first time since finishing 6th in a Class F at Cherbourg over 2,625m on 1 February. Sports front pads for the first time but is not a concern
  73. NIL DU BANNEY – Disqualified in a harness Class H at Abbeville on 16 August. Has yet to show any flair for either code and will have nothing to offer
  74. NICOS BLEU – Tricky individual making monte debut following a string of harness clinkers but could do well under the saddle and should be taken seriously
  75. NAOS VIVROT – Left a good impression when third in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 18 August. Clearly has a lot more to give and Victor Saussaye can be confident of another big run. Place chance
  76. NAVARONE KILY – Produced her best performance to date when 3rd in a Bernay Class E a fortnight ago, however a repeat seems improbable
  77. NUIT TRANSEENNE – Has taken better to the monte code than she did to the other discipline, but will still need to show more than she did when 5th in a Cabourg Class E on 1 September
  78. NOORHA D’IQUAINE – Given a rest after losing her action in a Class F at Caen over 2,450m on 25 April. Has been re-shod for comeback but may just be race-rusty
  79. NASTREE DU VINOIS – Would have imposed at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 21 August had she not lost her action. Was unable to reaffirm in Paris next time but goes clockwise on this occasion and, if applied, can finish in the mix
  80. NOZAKA DU CLOS – Disqualified in a Class D at Vichy over 2,950m on 30 June. Is shod to preference for re-entry and on good behaviour can get in on the action
  81. NILTON – Opened his monte account at the first time of asking, easily winning a Cabourg Class E on 25 August, and a similar performance would see him double up
  82. NORGAFLORE – Got off the mark nicely in a Cabourg Class E on 21 August. Appears to have bags of ability and takes on the colts with a good hand to play. Chance
    Summary: Pleasant winners at Cabourg recently, NILTON (11) and NORGAFLORE (12) will find themselves going head-to-head this time and can fight it out. NAOS VIVROT (5), who is beginning to come good, looks capable of making the frame. Changing discipline may be just the ticket for the tricky NICOS BLEU (4).

  1. FARADAY – Finished 11th in a Maiden at Deauville over 1,200m on 15 August 2026 on his debut. He will know more this time and warrants respect
  2. DUBLIN CALLING – Showed promise and was third in a Maiden at Vichy over 1,400m on 12 August 2026 on debut. He can improve and get off the mark
  3. DALMORA – Fourth in a Maiden at Le Lion D’Angers over 1,400m on 24 July 2026 on her second start. Ought to be thereabouts
  4. PACOEUR – Gelding by Seahenge, the dam won 3 races. Likely to improve for this outing and he does not appeal as a likely first time out winner
  5. RUN LIWAY – Filly by Sealiway, the dam won 2 races. She is from a trainer that knows the time of day. Any market influence can be noted
  6. AVID INTEREST – Filly by Romanised, the dam won 1 race. Some good aspects to her profile and the betting market can be the most informative guide
    Summary: DUBLIN CALLING (2) ran with plenty of promise on his debut at Vichy when he was third. He can improve for that outing and is taken ahead of DALMORA (3), who has ran with encouragement on her two runs so far and can make things interesting. AVID INTEREST (6) has a nice pedigree and is from a respected trainer that can ready a newcomer to produce on debut. She is one to monitor in the betting for clues.

  11. PARAY – Finished 4th on the last start at Lignieres in a Class 3 cross-country race over 4800m on August 9. Can be on the premises
    Summary: INOUIE TIEPY (4) won with a good deal of authority when last seen at Lignieres in a Class 3 cross-country race and she will be expected to follow up. Her main threat is NICAR DEL AVIGNON (1), who scored at Pompadour in a Class 4 cross-country on his latest start late last month and will make the selection work hard. PARAY (5) has the assistance of James Reveley, who seems to excel in this discipline, and he can be expected to play a leading role in the finish.

  19. LIONESSA – Four unplaced runs, the latter over 2100m at Vittel in a maiden race on July 27. Hard to be enthusiastic about
  20. LIKE A DOVE – Third in a Maiden at Moulins over 2,400m on 28 August 2026 when last seen. Handicap bow and he can not be ignored
  21. ROI DU CIEL – Fair 4th last time over 2100m in a handicap at Le Touquet on August 16 when last racing. Honest performer that can be competitive
    Summary: ROI DU CIEL (10) has been consistent recently with five placed efforts, which includes a win at Vittel in mid-July. He is given the nod here ahead of LIKE A DOVE (9), who tries a handicap for the first time and looks reasonably well treated. AUSTRALIPS (6) won a claimer two runs back and is an option for the each-way backers to consider. OCEAN STAR (3) is also worthy of a mention and can have a say in the finish.

    Summary: INGENUITY (6) was running a good race when she unseated her jockey on her latest start when holding every chance of being involved. She can make amends and get off the mark. Her main threat could be NEATIKAT (5), who is quickly turned out after a creditable fifth in a claiming hurdle at Auteuil five days ago. BATHYGAR DU GRENAT (3) won in July in a similar type of race and warrants attention, as does TOPAZE DE MAINE (7), who was fourth in a claiming hurdle on her latest start on August 30.

  43. JUPITER DES ROCS – Finished 6th in a Class 4 Handicap at Vittel over 3,400m on 24 August 2026. He seems to have lost his way and can be opposed

    Summary: NUMERUS BORGET (5) has been competitive on his last two starts and can get deserved success after a pleasing second on his latest start on the PSF at Deauville in early August. His chief threat could be GLORI LEADER (2), who arrives after three consistent efforts. ALGECIRAS (13) ran well when third at Lyon Parilly 11 days ago and has each-way aspirations. MYKISS (1) is another to keep onside and any rain can enhance his chance of scoring.

  46. MANOSQUE – Good 2nd at Vittel in a Class 3 hurdle on July 14 when last seen. Live chance of scoring
  47. BE MY BELLA – Outclassed the opposition in a Class 5 Condition Hurdle at Sable Sur Sarthe over 3,700m on 30 August 2026. Looks like a nice prospect
  48. MIEUX QU’AVANT – Gelding by Ivanhowe, the dam was placed over jumps. Nice pedigree and from a respected trainer. One to consider if the betting vibes are lively
  49. TALGAT – Finished 4th in a Class 4 at Deauville over 2,500m on 22 August 2026 last time out. Hurdles bow and he will be well prepared by connections
  50. MELEZE DES CIEL – Filly by Savoir Vivre, the dam ran once on the flat. Likely to improve for this run and is best watched on debut
  51. MAKANI DU FENOIR – Finished 3rd on the latest start over 2800m at Moulins in a conditions race on May 9. Hurdles bow and is best watched for now
  52. BELLA REBELLE – Unseated her rider on the latest start at Aix Les Bains whe she looked booked for 2nd place in a Class 3 hurdle over 3400m on June 30. Ought to be in the shake-up
  53. TINIGRI DE JUILLEY – Won in a Class 4 at Vittel over 3,400m on 15 August 2026 on the flat. Second try over hurdles and she has outside place claims
  54. MALISSA MANS – Fell on her latest start over 3400m at Clairefontaine in a Class 3 hurdle on August 28. She won on the flat but others make more appeal
  55. NEWA DE JUILLEY – Filly by Silverwave, the dam won 4 races on the flat. Stable runners tend to improve for a run or two and she does not appeal as a first time out winner
    Summary: MANOSQUE (2) ran with plenty of promise when she was second on her latest start at Vittel and she looks like the type to keep on progressing with experience. She is preferred over BE MY BELLA (3), who is unbeaten in two runs. The latest success at Sable-Sur-Sarthe on August 30 in a Class 5 hurdle. MIEUX QU’AVANT (4) has a taking pedigree and is one to consider if the betting market is positive. BELLA REBELLE (8) makes up the shortlist.

  62. MOWGLI – Unplaced in a Class 3 Handicap at Deauville over 1,900m on 6 August 2026. One to steer clear of

  70. ACATANA – Came home 4th in a Class 4 Handicap at Vittel over 2,100m on 27 July 2026. Capable of being competitive
    Summary: KARMINA BELLA (9) is the tentative choice in an open handicap. She ran a creditable race when fourth at Lyon Parilly on her latest start on her return to action after nine months away from the track. BREMONTIER (12) is racing off a good racing weight and he can make life difficult for the selection. ROLEXXA (2) has ran in Germany on her last two starts and can be effective back on French soil. AS DE JUILLEY (11) was a decent second at this track in mid-June last time and is hard to discount.

  85. GOLDEN BEACH – Finished 15th in a Class 3 Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2,400m on 31 August 2026 last time out. Others seem more likely
    Summary: ROULETTE (4) was successful on the all-weather track at Deauville on his latest start late last month and he can play a leading role back on turf. He faces alive threat in GLORY WOOD (5), who can be forgiven for the latest below par run and is best judged on his second on his penultimate start at Compiegne in May. COGOLIN (10) is one for the each-way backers to take seriously and BRAVE SHIINA (14) makes up the shortlist.

MON ROYAUME (2) looks to have improved markedly since being fitted with four plates and can give him plenty to think about.

Half-sister to several useful performers, OLLY DE BAILLY (1) makes her debut with plenty of interest, while well-qualified OUTSIDER DE KACY (2) is another newcomer to consider.
