R1 FEURS [L-H]
C1 – PRIX PALLANCHE CONSTRUCTIONS – 2850m (a2m) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 34,000
- IVAN DE L’ERDRE – Finished 2nd in a Class F at Pornichet over 2,725m on 20 August. Has been knocking at the door at a lower level and although unlikely to spice things up, should nevertheless given an honourable account
- JET DES PRES – Goes barefoot for the first time on a hard surface after having run 7th in a Class F over course and distance 9 days ago, but others still preferred
- GOLDEN VIKING – Unplaced in a Class F over course and distance on 7 September, and will not be troubling the opposition
- JONQUILLE DE MEAT – Fourth in a Class E at Laval over 2,650m on 4 September, after having placed twice on turf. Is unlikely to create an upset but from the front row can give this a good go
- ISIS DE POULINE – Showed improvement when 5th in a Class F over course and distance on 7 September, however a repeat seems unlikely
- JANDICE STAR – Always gives her best but has not got her head in front since 2023 and is not about to spring any surprises
- JAGERBOMB – Ran 7th in a Class E at Laval over 2,650m on 4 September. Starts in front here and with Eric Raffin back in the bike, can set the record straight. Chance
- GRANTCHESTER – Unplaced in a Class F over course and distance on 7 September. Is nicely-engaged here but in present form will have nothing to contribute
- JOKER D’OLAINE – Finished 3rd in a Class E at Laval over 2,650m on 4 September. Has made the frame in 4 of last 5 starts and has every chance of picking up another payout
- JINGLE LOVER – Ran third before being placed last in a Class D at Marseille-Borely over 2,300m on 27 August. Is clearly in fine shape though and can put things right if Steve Stefano keeps him out of trouble
- INDIGO PIERJI – Was unable to confirm 27 August performance when 5th in a Class B at Marseille-Borely a week ago. Was not disgraced that day but is taking on too much this time
- HEROS D’YVEL – Gave a good account on re-entry even though subsequently disqualified, but has twice failed to impress since and will first need to reassure
- IQUEM D’AMER – Third in a Class B at Marseille-Borely over 2,300m on 9 September, 18 days after having lifted a Cagnes Class B. Takes on a good lot here but can still hold his own
- INSTINCT SAINT BAR – Has won 3 of last 5 starts, most recently a Class D at Royan-La Palmyre over 2,475m on 9 August, and moving back to a hard surface will be no handicap. Claim
- IL VIENT DU LUDE – Comfortably won a Class D at Lyon-Parilly over 2,850m on 4 September. Boasts superb Feurs credentials and, given the entry, is easy to like for a big performance
Summary: Versatile and reliable, INSTINCT SAINT BAR (14) won from the front at Montignac on 23 July before following up at Royan when held up. He has raced little for his age and can secure the three-timer. JAGERBOMB (7) was found wanting on his last two starts, but will be reunited with Eric Raffin for whom he excels. Proven here and re-shod, IL VIENT DU LUDE (15) is very easy to like, as is JINGLE LOVER (10) who would probably have won last time had he not lost his action. Ideally-engaged on the front row, JOKER D’OLAINE (9) is clearly close to his race.

C2 – PRIX SPARTAN CONSULTING – 2850m (a2m) – – Harness – EUR € 6,000 - J’ADORE CE MEC – Finished 3rd in a Class F at Marseille-Borely over 3,000m on 27 August 2026. Has hardly put a foot wrong for months and should prove competitive at the business end of the race
- JESCO DE LA VALLEE – Imposed at Saint-Galmier on 29 August then repeated in a Class G Amateurs’ race over 2,850m here 10 days later, and the hat-trick is a distinctly attainable goal
- INTEL – Went close at Saint-Galmier prior to coming 3rd to JESCO DE LA VALLEE (2) over course and distance 10 days ago. Is unlikely to win this but in present shape is easy to like for a first-five cheque
- JANA D’ARMOR – Returns to the amateur category after coming 7th in a Divonne Class F on 21 August. Is reunited with Mathilde Martineau who won with her here in early-July and must be taken seriously
- INDY VET – Ran 3rd under similar conditions on 3 July before being disqualified at Aix-les-Bains just over 3 weeks later. Is hard to fault when focused though and should not be underestimated
- INVICTUS ELLIS – Won twice earlier in the summer, including a Class F over course and distance, but has struggled of late and will first need to set things right
- HOKAIDO DE MONCHEL – Unplaced in a Class F Amateurs’ race over 2,100m here on 6 September. Has done nothing noteworthy in 2026 and is not about to start now
- IMAGIOUS DE VANDEL – Finished 4th in a Class F Apprentices’ race over 2,100m here on 6 September, although on this occasion appears to have too much to do
- JIPSY DES AIRES – Finished 5th in a Class F Apprentices’ race over 2,100m here on 6 September. Has been fitted with front pads this time but is still not a contender
- IOWA DE TOUCHYVON – Finished 7th in a Class F Apprentices’ race over 2,100m here on 6 September. Tends to show more on turf and will have nothing to offer
- KATIMINNIE BROUETS – Imposed at Carpentras before finishing runner-up in a Class F at Aix Les Bains over 2,700m on 28 July. Comes here fresh, is nicely-entered, and can get straight down to business
- INCAS D’EURVAD – Finished 4th in a Class F Amateurs’ race over 2,100m here on 6 September. Benefits from a terrific entry here and, sporting a new configuration, is worth keeping an eye on
Summary: The choice is not straightforward between KATIMINNIE BROUETS (11), who has been re-shod for her Feurs debut, and JESCO DE LA VALLEE (2) who made it two in a row when imposing here 10 days ago. In July, JANA D’ARMOR (4) also scored here and will appreciate a return to the amateur division. J’ADORE CE MEC (1) has been knocking at the door for some time and is due to be rewarded any day now.

C3 – PRIX CREDIT MUTUEL FOREZIEN – 2225m (a1m1/2) – – Harness – EUR € 23,000 - NINA LAURA – Finished 4th in a Class E at Saint-Galmier over 2,650m on 22 August. Has done little to disappoint over recent months and can expect to find the going rather tough
- NESTORIUS – Improving type that ran 3rd in a Saint-Galmier Class E on 22 August, after having got off the mark at Jullianges. Is unlikely to impose but nevertheless has the wherewithal to finish in the money
- NOBODY KNOWS – Honest sort that ran 3rd, in a Cabourg Class E, on a hard surface for the first time a fortnight ago. Benjamin Rochard in the bike on this occasion and looks a serious proposition
- NOBLESSE DU GERS – Finished 3rd in a Class E at Divonne over 2,600m on 18 August, having lost her maiden status 8 days earlier over 2700m. At this level, though will have her work cut out for her
- NAUSICAA DES MERS – Ran 3rd in a monte Class E over course and distance 10 days ago and is here for reasons of conditioning
- NOUGATINE VERGNIER – Made amends for re-entry disqualification when 2nd in a monte Class E at Saint-Galmier on 22 August. Is better at a lower level under harness and looks a minor place prospect at best
- NOBILUS BAR – Reassuring 4th in a Divonne Class E on 21 August. Has already won twice this summer, has adapted well to French conditions, and must be taken seriously
- NIKITA DE MAGNY – Finished 5th in a 2000m Class D at Divonne on 9 August. Always gives her best, but still faces a difficult challenge
- NEPTUNE DE JEAN – Failed to make it 2 on the trot when second in a Class E at Pornichet over 2,725m on 16 July. Has not been seen since but is competitively-shod for the first time and entrusted to Eric Raffin for the occasion. Claim
- NORMAND DEBELGRAVE – Fifth in a Class C at Vichy over 2,950m on 5 September. Is back racing left-handed and although not a priority, should nonetheless give this a good go
- NUNZIATA – Finished 3rd in a Class E over 2,100m here on 17 July. Is capable when focused and can return home with minor honours
- NOW AND THEN – Finished 3rd on comeback in a Class D at Marseille-Borely over 2,300m on 27 August. Will have progressed for the race and with Theo Briand in the bike this time clearly means business. Chance
Summary: Fitted with four pads for the first time in his career, NEPTUNE DE JEAN (9), who has some strong form lines in the west, looks capable of returning to winning ways. NOW AND THEN (12), after an encouraging comeback could finally get that maiden monkey off his back, and NOBODY KNOWS (3), who acquitted himself well in an interesting field at Cabourg recently, will be aiming for a place on the podium, as will NOBILUS BAR (7), who was by no means disgraced at Divonne.

C4 – PRIX INTERMARCHE FEURS-CIVENS – 2850m (a2m) – – Mounted – EUR € 34,000 - JEAN D’HOLLENBOURG – Ran 7th in a harness Class F at Marseille-Borely over 2,300m on 27 August. Has no monte references and it is hard to make a case for him
- KOPRIORO – Made it 2 on the trot when successful in a Class E Apprentices’ race at Argentan over 2,875m on 8 August. Has already won left-handed under the saddle and must be taken seriously
- ILOVIROIZ DI LEONE – Flattering 5th in a 2225m Class E here on 7 September and has no realistic chance
- JINGLE DES BROUETS – Failed to confirm Vichy performance when 6th in a Class E over 2225m here on 7 September and is not about to spring any surprises
- KENYAN BLUES – Eliminated early in a Vincennes Class D last Saturday. Has otherwise failed to fire under the saddle all year and Eric Raffin will be keen to put things right
- KOALA – Being prepped here earlier in the month paid off 5 days later when dominating a Vincennes Class D last weekend. Faces a less-exalted bunch here and even from the back row can double his money
- JUPITER DU CORTA – Tricky individual facing first real ridden objective of the season after having been disqualified under harness at Enghien early last month. Is shod to preference for the occasion and is not incapable of finishing in the mix
- JOKER DU HAMEL – Useful sort sporting modified shoeing after being disqualified in 12 September race of reference and can play a small role if focused
- KATCHINA FOR CLARA – Successful in a Class D at Beaumont-De-Lomagne over 2,550m on 23 August, her second win in three starts, and should again figure prominently
Summary: KOALA (6) can prove something of a handful but is dynamic when focused; he should appreciate the selective nature of the Feurs track and even though backing up can still confirm last Saturday’s Vincennes romp. On the front row, KOPRIORO (2) enjoys a legitimate chance of pulling off the hat-trick. KENYAN BLUES (5) will be no pushover if he gets off on the right foot. KATCHINA FOR CLARA (9) has been revitalised of late and deserves to take her chances.

C5 – PRIX TRADIBAT / MTP DESAMIANTAGE – 2850m (a2m) – – Harness – EUR € 20,000 - MAYA DU RADON – Fifth in a Class F at Divonne over 2,000m on 18 August. Is still chasing that elusive first victory but is going to have to wait a little bit longer
- MILADY OAKS – Has not been seen racing left-handed since imposing at Lyon-Parilly in April. Is first-time barefoot though and from the front row cannot be ruled out
- MY LOVE PANAME – Lost his action at Divonne on 20 August but ran reassuring third in a Lyon-Parilly Class D on 4 September, and will have his supporters
- MAMY BLUE TIT – Unplaced in a Class D at Vichy over 2,950m on 25 August when preparing for this. Races barefoot for the first time and will be competitive when it counts
- MYSTERE DES MARES – Made up for Saint-Galmier sanction when 2nd in a Lyon-Parilly Class D on 4 September. Is unlikely to win this but a similar effort would see him trot his way into the picture
- MON COUSIN – Was unable to secure the three-timer when second in a Class D at Vichy over 2,950m on 25 August. Is progressing with every run though and has a realistic chance of returning to successful ways
- MESTA ATALANTE – Surprise winner of a Vichy Class E in May but has done nothing of note since and can be passed over
- MISTER MAGIC – Unplaced, on return from a spell, in a Class B at Divonne over 2,650m on 20 August. Goes barefoot this time and is not incapable of getting a look in
- MUSE DU VALLON – Finished 7th in a Class D at Lyon-Parilly over 2,850m on 4 September. Is plainly better than that though and in the hands of Theo Briand can get back in the game
- MALIGNO – Faces a less difficult task than he did when 7th in a Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago and looks thoroughly capable of imposing
- MISS BELGRAVE – Useful on a good day but was disqualified in a Class B here nine days ago when still being conditioned. Is more competitively-shod this time but others still preferred
Summary: He may not be the easiest of horses to use but MALIGNO (10) ran better in a Vincennes Class D recently than the result would suggest, and under these conditions can impose. MON COUSIN (6), in cracking form, will attract plenty of support. MYSTERE DES MARES (5), who showed marked improvement at Lyon, can also have a say, as can MUSE DU VALLON (9), who will be partnered by Théo Briand.

C6 – GRAND PRIX DU CENTRE EST – PRIX PARIS-TURF – 2850m (a2m) – – Harness – EUR € 100,000 - IDOLE DE MEAT – Ran encouraging 4th in a Class C at Les Sables-d’Olonne late last month but in this company has no possible chance
- KAPTAIN DU LIAMONE – Fourth in a Class B over course and distance on 7 September, 3 weeks after having won at Auch. Steps back up in category though and appears to have too much to do this time
- RIKITA JP – Returns to racing barefoot after being prepped in a Gr.2 at La Capelle on 2 September. No longer has anything to prove in this class and is unlikely to be far from the action
- JILORD VIVA – Finished 9th in a Group II at La Capelle over 1,800m on 2 September. Is shod to preference this time and will be reunited with Eric Raffin for whom he seldom disappoints. Claim
- IBIZA BELLA – Fifth in a Class B over course and distance on 7 September. Is clearly talented but is out of her depth this time
- JANGO VICI – Third in a Class A at Montier En Der over 3,025m on 23 August. Has nothing to prove at this level and, with form maintained, has every chance of finishing close
- ISTER MAN – Finished 6th in a Group III at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2,925m on 27 July. Is not the most dependable of horses but is confirmed at this level and is not incapable of making the first five
- HUDO DU RUEL – A veritable metronome that ran 4th in a Cagnes Gr.3 on 22 August. Has been knocking at the door for some time and although unlikely to shake things up this time around, should nevertheless hold his own
- HORCHESTRO – Fourth in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 21 June. Has not been seen since but is quite obviously in competition-mode and unlikely to be heading home empty-handed
- INO DU LUPIN – Finished 7th when being prepped in a Group III at Angers over 3,100m on 9 September. Is barefoot this time and should logically represent the main danger to JILORD VIVA (4)
Summary: If he can quickly get to the lead, the battle-hardened JILORD VIVA (4) will not be easy to beat on this testing track. Partnered by Eric Raffin, he still looks to have the advantage over second-row starter INO DU LUPIN (10) who is barefoot and patently in race-mode. Reassuring on re-entry, and barefoot this time, JANGO VICI (6) comes next, ahead of HORCHESTRO (9) who is similarly barefoot for his return to competition.

- LORD DE VANDEL – Finished 3rd in a Class E at Beaumont-De-Lomagne over 2,400m on 3 September. Eric Raffin in the bike for the first time and will be justifiably well-supported
- LILY CARNOIS – Third in a Class D at Hyeres over 2,650m on 26 June. Is consistently in the thick of things but is going to need the race
- LUMIERE DAIRPET – Ran 2nd despite problems turning in a Class E at Beaumont-de-Lomagne a fortnight ago. Has never been in better shape, starts in front, and is easy to like for the win
- LEADER DES RIOULTS – Finished 2nd in a Class E over track and trip on 7 September. May not be sent out at 57-1 this time but is unlikely to be as competitive either
- LOVER MAUZUN – Third in a Class B at Divonne over 2,650m on 21 August, his first appearance since early-June and, shod to preference this time, is unlikely to disappoint
- LIZZY DE JOUDES – Runner-up in a Class F over course and distance on 20 June. Has not been seen out since though and would be preferred barefoot
- LEI E BELLA – Trounced the opposition in a Class C over course and distance on 17 July. Simply superb since returning to competition and can bring the fight to LUMIERE DAIRPET (4)
- LORD JULRY – Victorious in a Class C at Vichy over 2,950m on 1 August. Has already won five times this year, including over course and distance, and should again figure prominently
Summary: Not entirely at ease going right-handed last time, LUMIERE DAIRPET (4) was only narrowly-beaten and can set the record straight. She will still have to get the better of some of the best 5 year-olds in the region, including LEI E BELLA (8), who has been excelling here recently, LORD JULRY (9) who imposed shod last time out, and LOVER MAUZUN (6) who always acquits himself honourably.

- KEATANA DU METZ – Has done nothing noteworthy since winning at Saint-Galmier in February and can be confidently passed over
- JAWENN DE KERYANN – Finished 10th in a Class G over course and distance on 6 September, a week after having run second in an amateurs Class H on turf, and reunited with his trainer could well finish in the mix
- KALINE DES RIOULTS – Successful in a Class H Amateurs’ race at Macon-Cluny over 2,725m on 30 August. Faces a stiffer test on this occasion and is unlikely to shake things up
- KEIGHT BLESS – Won a pair at La Rochelle before finishing unplaced in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 28 August. Will appreciate the return to racing left-handed and can set the record straight
- KIF DE L’UNE – Encouraged at Aix-les-Bains but failed to confirm when unplaced in an amateurs Class G at Divonne a month ago, and cannot be considered a player
- KHEOPS DU LOISIR – Would have finished 3rd in a 2100m Class F here on 7 September had he not lost his action. Is patently in fine shape and will be expected to challenge for a place on the podium
- KINGSLEY – Has been disqualified in 10 consecutive starts, the latest a Class F over 2,100m here on 7 September, his first appearance since late-May. Is useful when focused though, has been re-shod, and cannot be discounted
- KELROC – Finished 3rd in a Class F at Argentan over 2,150m on 16 August. Is well-engaged and is in good shape, but at this level is unlikely to create an upset
- KOPECK DE CHENU – Mixes the good with the less good, most recently finishing unplaced in a Class G on turf already last month. Sports four pads for the first time, but others still easier to trust
- KEROS DES BAUX – Successful in a Class H at Jullianges over 2,425m on 23 August, complementing his Aix-les-Bains victory, and even from the back row looks a leading contender
- KANT – Put his Cabourg clinker behind him when securing a Class H at Erbray over 2,675m on 30 August. Is new to Feurs but, with form maintained, can make a big splash
Summary: Although disappointing in his recent hat-trick bid at Cabourg, KEIGHT BLESS (5) should not be written off too quickly and from the front row could well return to winning ways. KANT (12), convincing winner at Erbray, will provide the main opposition alongside KEROS DES BAUX (11) who returns to Feurs on a three-timer. KHEOPS DU LOISIR (7) showed his form despite being eliminated here recently and deserves another chance.

HYSIS VENESI (3), has been rested since winning at Enghien in early July but looks the main danger. HATALANTE DE FLO (4) has rediscovered her best form this summer and should be involved in the battle. A proven performer at this level, GYPSIE MAGIQUE (13) must overcome an unfavourable starting position but cannot be ruled out.

- LYA DU VIVIER – An excellent runner-up in a Class F at Lisieux over 2,725m on 29 August. Threatening to score and must be respected

LYA DU VIVIER (5), who made a good return to harness racing when finishing second and might go one better. LA PERLA DE LOU (2), who can give her rivals plenty to think about on a going day. LA BAULE HAUFOR (13) is capable of bouncing back on the strength of her spring form and is another to consider.

Summary: Partnered by Mathieu Mottier for his debut under saddle, NON STOP (15) could make a promising start in this discipline. NOMADE DU BAS BOSQ (14), who has faced tough opposition in his last two outings could be he biggest threat. NINETY ONE BOND (13), a winner on his only previous start under saddle must be respected. NOISY FROMENTRO (11) is improving and can also have a say,

Summary: NEW LIFE CHARDET (7) opened her account at the second attempt and clearly has the potential to progress further. Unlucky at Amiens last time, NASIBA (9) could have challenged for victory with a clear run and deserves serious consideration. Experienced on grass, NATURAL CASTELETS (10) can make the transition to a firmer surface, while NORMA CASTELLE (13), proven at this level, remains a serious contender.

Summary: JAZERANE (13) made a winning debut under saddle over this course and can take advantage of the favourable conditions to double her tally. JIZUKE JIEL (9) will not have to face any foreign runners this time and, as an excellent right-handed trotter, is one of the leading contenders. JUMBO DE LUNESE (5) made a mistake last time out and deserves another chance. JIHERE DU PORET (8), reunited with Mathieu Mottier, also has to be considered a possible winner.

Summary: It’s difficult to see a clear standout in this competitive field. MISS NICE (14), a convincing winner at Lisieux at the end of August, gets the vote. MALOUINE DU BIS (11) can be tricky in harness racing but possesses plenty of ability, and this discipline could help her concentrate. MALINE DES LANDES (17), who finished second to our selection recently, remains a contender. MAYA DU CHEVREL (16), who returns to a discipline she enjoys also deserve much respect.

Summary: Yoann Lebourgeois has already got the best out of KARO DAIRPET (15), and this partnership reunites with leading ambitions. KYMJO DE BELFOND (14), will race barefoot this time, looks the main danger. At the front, KING CLUB (5) recently showed his form in amateur company and will be looking to extend his winning sequence on his return to this level. KIRDKER DU MESLE (4) has improved since racing barefoot and also deserves consideration in a competitive lucky last race.

Summary: Following a convincing victory in a handicap at Vichy last time out, MISS PARANO (7) has a strong chance of pulling off a repeat performance. There should be little between BECHO (9), GWENN HA DU (8), and ZOKOA (6) after they finished third, fourth and fifth respectively in their last start at La Teste and they need to be respected in this event.

- GOLDEN STATE – Unplaced in a Class 4 Handicap at La Teste De Buch over 1,800m on 26 August 2026. Will need to up his game to feature
Summary: This is an open affair, but KIRBY (3) comes into this race with the best form and looks ready to pick up the victory. The main threat is likely to come from CHARM KING (6), who is in good form and running consistently well. AMITY (10) is at her best over this trip and that brings her into the reckoning. The start could be make or break for ZODD (5), but if he gets out well and goes to the front, he could prove hard to catch.

Summary: JANNY (2) showed promise when finishing third on debut and should progress further from that run. AJOUZ (9) disappointed last time out but she did run well on debut and deserves another chance. TRIXIE (13) is out of a mare who won on debut and then competed at the top level. HILMIYYAH (10) comes from a yard that knows how to get the best out of Arabian horses.

ERALA (3) ran on well last time and will be a contender if she sees out the distance. ZEN STORM (5) made a promising debut and progress is expected. LADY FALCON CEN (9) has not been far behind in all of her races and could be a threat.

C5 – PRIX FREDERIC BOUAS – 2100m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Condition – Flat – EUR € 20,000 - MIMOSA STAR – Won on his last start over 2000m at Mont-De-Marsan on July 29 in a conditions race. This will be more difficult
- DAWWAAS – Ran well to be 4th at La Teste in a Group 2 PA race on August 26 when last seen. Player
- NAWAZ AL SHAHANIA – Unplaced on the latest start over 1900m at La Teste on August 19 last time. Others rate higher
- TREASURE ISLAND – Finished 6th on his debut at Tarbes over 2100m in a conditions race on August 29. Hard to overlook
- SHEHAB – Finished 3rd over 2100m at Tarbes on August 29 in a conditions race. Top-three chance
- WATHAB – Placed 4th on his debut at Tarbes on August 29 in a conditions race. Open to progress and can have a say
- SAKAB AL HARIRI – Finished well beaten in 15th on his sole start over 2000m at this track on September 2. Vast progress is needed to make the frame
- NAZRAN DU SOLEIL – Unplaced on the sole start over 2100m at Dax in a conditions race on July 31. Unlikely to be a threat to some of these
- GHAITH MAJAN – Colt by Af Albahar, the dam ran a few times. Some good aspects to his profile and he is one to watch closely in the betting for any market moves
- AL WASMI – Gelding by Muraaqib, the dam won 11 races. One to watch in the betting for any market influence
- AL MARID – Colt by Mister Ginoux, the dam never ran. From a respected trainer that can ready a newcomer to be competitive on debut. The betting can guide
- SAPHIR DU RAYNAL – Colt by Khataab, the dam was unraced. Does not appeal as a likely first time out winner and is best watched with the future in mind
- NEUTRINO DE NACRE – Colt by Yazeed, the dam ran twice. Stable runners tend to need a run or two for experience and he is best watched for now
- NUCCIO DE BOZOULS – Colt by Majd Al Arab, the dam never ran in France. Likely to improve for this outing and others preferred
- SAAD AL CHAM – Colt by Nieshan, the dam ran once. Nice profile and he is one to consider if the betting vibes are lively
Summary: DAWWAAS (2) has plenty of experience and was a decent fourth in a Group 2 PA race at La Teste on his latest start. He can get the measure of TREASURE ISLAND (4), who ran green on debut at Tarbes late last month and will of improved for that experience. SHEHAB (5) was third in the same race as the latter on his debut at Tarbes and has to be respected with progress anticipated. WATHAB (6) completes the shortlist.

C6 – PRIX DU MESNIL – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 21,000 - SCATY CHOP – Second in a Maiden at Mont De Marsan over 1,400m on 17 August 2026 on his second start. One to pay attention to
- CANNCITY – Unplaced in a Maiden at Mont De Marsan over 1,400m on 17 August 2026. He is one to look at each-way
- TOMTIT – Ran with a nice amount of promise when 5th on debut at Deauville over 1500m in a conditions race on August 8. He will know more this time and can be competitive
- LOUKPAN – Ran well to be 4th on his sole start at Saint-Cloud on August 31 over 1300m in a conditions race. He will improve and can make his presence felt
- WISH YOU JOY – Placed 4th on his sole start at San Sebastian on August 9. This will be more of a test for him
- EL LAGAR – In good form and finished 3rd in a Maiden at La Teste De Buch over 1,600m on 26 August 2026 on his latest start. He needs a few to falter
- SPANISH NATION CEN – Unplaced in a Maiden at Mont De Marsan over 1,400m on 17 August 2026 on his sole start. Hard to recommend
Summary: TOMTIT (3) ran with a nice amount of promise when he was fifth on his debut at Deauville in early August and he is preferred ahead of LOUKPAN (4), who is a live danger having shown a good deal of promise when fourth on his debut at Saint-Cloud over 1300m. He should like the step up in distance. SCATY CHOP (1) has been placed on both starts and can once again be involved at the finish. CANNCITY (2) looks the best of the remainder.

C7 – PRIX ANDRE LAHOUILLE – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Condition – Flat – EUR € 18,000 - HALANDJILA AA – Nice 4th on the last start at Craon on September 6 in a conditions race over 2200m. She can play a lead role
- HORIZON DE TANUES AA – Two placed runs this year, 4th on the latter over 2400m at La Teste on August 10 in a conditions race. One to pay attention to
- VOIX DE CRISTAL AA – Fair effort to be 3rd at Pompadour over 2200m in a conditions race on August 15. Key chance
- IDEAL DE CAJUS AA – Placed 3rd on his last run over 2300m in a conditions race at Tarbes on October 19, 2025. He will strip fitter for this outing
- MAUZAC AA – Placed 3rd on the most recent start at Cazaubon over 2200m in a conditions race on August 31. Outside place chance
- HYDE POMPADOUR AA – Creditable 5th at Pompadour over 2200m in a conditions race on August 15 on her latest outing. Merits consideration
- DIVINE DE LENZAC AA – Several unplaced runs of late, the latter over 2400m at La Teste in a conditions race on August 10. Unlikely to be a threat
- MAGIC DREAM AA – She won on her latest start over 2300m at Royan in a conditions race on August 17 2025. She might improve for this run after over a year off the track
- MADAME LABOUEYRIE AA – Not seen since a win over 2500m at Agen in a conditions race on November 9 2025. Others make more appeal
Summary: HALANDJILA AA (1) has strong claims for success after a good effort when fourth at Craon in a competitive event when last seen 10 days ago. Her main rival could be VOIX DE CRISTAL AA (3), who arrives after a win on August 3rd and a pleasing third in mid-August at Pompadour. HORIZON DE TANUES AA (2) could be the most sensible option each way after two placed runs this year. HYDE POMPADOUR AA (6) completes the shortlist.

C8 – PRIX KANN – 2200m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Condition – Flat – EUR € 16,000 - TABARUS – 5th last time on July 29, 2nd before that at Dax in a conditions race on May 1 over 1400m. Ought to be in the shake-up
- MARSOUL – Three placed runs, 4th on the most recent over 2000m at La Teste on June 26 in a conditions event. Player
- SKY AMBER KRF – Finished 8th on his last start in a Group 3 PA race at San Sebastian (ESP) over 1600m when last racing. Drops in class and is hard to ignore
- AGANDJIR – Two unplaced runs of late, 6th on the latter over 1800m at La Teste in a conditions race on August 19. He might not trouble the principles
- CHAKIFA – Two recent placed runs, 3rd on the latter over 2000m at La Teste in a conditions race on September 5. Place contender
- ANTINORI – Placed 3rd on his last run over 2200m at Montauban on June 14 in a conditions race. Hardly inspiring
- FRAIZTAGADA DARTEO – Back in 7th on her second start over 2000m at La Teste in a conditions race on September 5. Look for an alternative
Summary: MARSOUL (2) has been given a break since his latest fourth in June at La Teste and he might have too much for SKY AMBER KRF (3), who is dropping in class after acquitting himself well enough in much stronger races. TABARUS (1) was a decent second on his penultimate start and can be expected to be involved in the finish. CHAKIFA (5) is another worthy of consideration.
