LEVOILATIEP – 6th last time, 2nd before that over 3300m in a Class 3 hurdle at Strasbourg on March 22nd. Class 3 chase winner last September over 3400m. Up in trip and needs a few to misfire
LOWRY – 5th in a Class 2 chase over 3500m at this track on April 15th and 4th before that at Auteuil in a Class 2 chase in March. Others more likely
LORD BRETT – Nice 2nd on his chase debut over 4400m at this track in a Class 3 event on May 3rd. Capable of a leading role
LARZAND – Decent 2nd last time in a Class 2 chase at this track over 3500m on April 15th and a win before that at Moulins over fences in March. Player
L’AMAZONE – Ran well to be 2nd over 3500m in a Class 2 chase at this track on March 23rd. She won twice before that, the latter over fences at Pau two runs back over 3900m. One to respect

Summary: LORD BRETT (3) jumped well in the main on his chase debut at this track earlier this month when second and will be expected to go one place better this time. LARZAND (4) ran well to be second over 3500m at this track in mid-April and should have no issues up in trip today. L’AMAZONE (5) scored twice at Pau earlier this year over hurdles and over fences in February over 3900m. Her latest start was a decent second at this track over fences, and she can not be overlooked.

Summary: JUST HAPPY (9) made a striking debut at Compiegne last month, showcasing her potential as a promising performer. She holds a slight edge over DELMEGAN (1), who is chasing a hat-trick after triumphing over 3000m in a Listed hurdle at this track late last month. MILLE ET UNE VIES (4) finished a close second in the same race, narrowly denied victory, and remains a serious contender. SELMA DE VARY (2) can build on her latest second-place effort and stays firmly in the mix.

Summary: KASADEPAPEL (10) will be in a good frame of mind after success over track and trip in a Class 2 chase last month and can follow up. KARAM LE ROUGE (7) can strip fitter for a run late last month. He was a decent second over fences at this track last June. JARDIN D’ARTHEL (3) looks like a sensible option for each-way backers to latch on to after a pleasing second at Moulins in early April. He is a former Listed chase winner over track and trip in 2023.

L’OREE DES BLAISES – Fair 3rd over 3800m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 2 hurdle on April 19th on her last start. One to keep onside

Summary: SILVER BUCKLE (12) impressed with a commanding victory at Lyon Parilly last month and is expected to build on that success. Her chief rival could be LACCIO CONTI (2), an unbeaten contender who triumphed on both the flat and over hurdles, securing his latest win in a Class 4 hurdle at Compiegne early last month. SATCHMO (4) made a striking impression when landing his hurdles debut at Clairefontaine and is likely to progress further. LANCIER (3) is a promising prospect and leads the remainder.

Summary: REMEMBRANCE (15) has a light weight and ran a solid race over the course and distance at this track last time in a Class 3 hurdle. She is the tentative selection to get off the mark. NONOLETA (9) can be a threat after a fair effort when fifth in a Listed hurdle at this track and trip in mid-April. DEMPY (16) could be well handicapped at the moment and looks like the each-way option. LE COLOMBAR (2) scored last time at Lyon Parilly and warrants respect. ROYAL LOUIS HAS (13) is also worth consideration.

XCEPTION (11) could be a threat, he was a decent second in a Class 2 handicap chase over course and distance late last month. COLOR RITANO (3) is one to include in all the place bet permutations if emulating his win two runs back at Toulouse. LE CARIGNAN (8) is also worth a mention.

He is hard to oppose. HELOY DELABARRIERE (2) could be the one to make the selection work hard. He was second in the Prix Serge Landon Hurdle (Grade 1) last November and likes this track. HEWICK (3) was second to the selection last year in this race and won two runs back at Thurles (IRL) in March. UK raider MONMIRAL (1) has been supplemented and heads the rest.

She can get a deserved success at the expense of FIDELE AU POSTE (12), who scored over 3500m in a Class 3 handicap chase at this track late last month and has a good racing weight. ECHO DE CHAMPDOUX (4) ran well in a Grade 3 chase when third at this track on April 20th and looks like the each-way angle. BENOU (1) has top weight but is hard to ignore. BREXIT (3) is also worth considering.

Summary: LUCKY ROQUE (5) has been placed on the last two runs, the latest in a Listed hurdle over track and trip in mid-April. He is lightly raced and has a lot more to come. DINO STYLE (9) was a fair third over 3500m at this track late last month in a Class 2 handicap hurdle and poses a danger. L’EQUIPE DE CHOC (12) has good honest form and can not be overlooked each way. LOLLITA (10) ran well recently when third over this track and enters calculations.

R3 CAEN [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DE CASTILLON – 2450m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Mounted – EUR € 21,000

MELLINA DE MAI – Qualified in 1’16”6 under harness at Meslay-du-Maine on 11 April and if as good under the saddle will be no pushover
MILLESIMA – Qualified under harness in 1’20″0 here last August. Comes from a productive family, a stable firing on all cylinders, and is expected to be competitive for the win
MA ROBERTA – Looked very ordinary when last of 8 in a 2750m Ecommoy Class F on 21 April and is not about to cause an upset
MADISON MATIDY – Was competitive for the win in a 2950m Le Mans Class E 9 days ago only to lose her action. Is plainly capable and with application is unlikely to disappoint. Place prospect
MAJESTE DE TILLARD – Sanctioned in a 2500m Class G at Bihorel-lès-Rouen on 6 April. Adrien Lamy aboard for ridden debut and can bring home the bacon if he keeps her focused
MARILOU D’ERI – Turns to the ridden code after finishing 8th of 11 in a 2800m Vire Class F 9 days ago and has no realistic chance
MESANGE DU RIB – Sanctioned on debut here before finishing last of 8 in a 2750m Elbeuf Class G a fortnight ago, and will need to raise her game
MARION D’HAFLING – Switches to the ridden code after faulting in a 3025m Neuillé-Pont-Pierre harness Class G late last month and is unlikely to garner much support
MAEVA DES CAILLONS – Sanctioned in a 3025m Neuillé-Pont-Pierre harness claimer late last month and already looks out of her depth
MALDA DU RIB – Showed improvement when 5th of 8 in a 2750m Elbeuf Class G a fortnight ago, but still has more to find
MAMAMIA DE MAKHI – Sanctioned in a 2750m Elbeuf Class G on 4 April and returns to Caen with little to offer
MONETA – Pleasant 4th of 9 finishers in a Class F over course and distance, on debut, 3 weeks ago. Will have come on for the run and, in this field, should be able to finish in the mix
MADE IN FIVE – Encouraged at Ecommoy but failed to confirm when distant last of 7 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago and will have few friends
MELUSINEDARCHE – Won on debut before being sanctioned in next 2, latterly a 2750m Ecommoy Class E on 20 April. Is not a priority but on good behaviour can play a role
MISS DE COQUERIE – Returns to the discipline after faulting in a 3200m Fougeres Class G 9 days ago. Already a winner under the saddle and can pick up another cheque if focused
MONA GALAA – 4th of 9 in a 2950m Le Mans Class E on 8 May. Has yet to get off the mark but is a generous filly and unlikely to be far from the action
Summary: Clearly capable but yet to finish a race unscathed, MAJESTE DE TILLARD (5) takes her chances under the saddle and can win this if she deigns to stay in stride. Full-sister to Kalina Princess, MILLESIMA (2) makes her career bow with certain expectations. MONA GALAA (16) has demonstrated decent aptitude for the discipline and is confirmed here, while MADISON MATIDY (4) showed signs of encouragement at Le Mans despite being sanctioned.

MELODIA JOSSELYN – Confirmed February’s excellent qualification when victorious on debut at Landivisiau on 8 May, winning a 2600m Class G. Makes Caen debut with morale intact and is eminently capable of securing the double
MANDRAGORA FLEURY – Ran 3rd over track and trip before finishing 7th of 13 in a 2000m Rambouillet Class E on 20 April. Will be more at home over the Caen profile and is unlikely to go home empty-handed
MURCIELAGO MIJO – Returns to a hard surface after opening her account in a 2000m Rambouillet Class E on 20 April. Unlikely to win this but will not be far off the mark if she turns
MARGOT PAROYO – Came good 4th of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Form is plainly heading in the right direction and Sébastien Baude can be confident of a big run
MAZERATI PAJJ – 4th of 11 in a 2800m Chartres Class E on comeback 10 days ago. Pitted against a better bunch this time and chances limited
MOONLIGHT SHADOW – 4th of 13 in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle on 8 May. Has placed racing clockwise but in this company will struggle to make her mark
MAYA GERBEHAYE – Put a trio of sanctions behind her to run 2nd of 12 in a 2900m Amiens Class F 2 weeks ago, but in this category is unlikely to spice things up
MASTERCLASS D’EARL – Reassuring 4th of 12 on re-entry mid-April in a 2800m Argentan Class E and will be competitive for the win if she gets off on the right foot
MARIE OH FREDLAU – Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2175m Vincennes Class D last November and is unlikely to be given a hard race
MARAVIGLIA – Looked a different sort on comeback at Reims a month back when 3rd of 13 in a 2550m Class E. Will have progressed for the run and with a top driver in the bike can lose her maiden status
Summary: A well-related filly, MARAVIGLIA (11) left a good impression in last month’s comeback and with Yoann Lebourgeois reining can impose this time. She will still face opposition from MELODIA JOSSELYN (2) who got her career off to a flying start just 9 days ago, and MASTERCLASS D’EARL (9) who gave a reassuring account of herself at Argentan. As good going one direction as the other, MARGOT PAROYO (5) must be afforded respect.

LADY KEPLER – Sanctioned in a 3200m Landivisiau Class F on 8 May. Has shown little aptitude for the game and can be written off
LITTLE DU RIB – Unexceptional 5th of 8 finishers in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F on 4 May. Is not without merit though and should be good enough to hold her own
LADY’S SECRET – Respectable 4th of 10 in a 2575m Saint-Brieuc Class E on 2 May. Has demonstrated decent consistency when racing unshod and while unlikely to get her nose in front, can still figure prominently
LEANE DU PARC – Ran 5th under these conditions before repeating in a 2800m Bernay Class E on 1 May, but runs shod this time and best to hold off
LEONORA – Made up for Vire sanction when 2nd of 14 to LOLLIPOP MIJACK (13) in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 1 May. David Thomain in the bike again and will be expected to contest the finish
LAISSEZ FAIRE – Has not been seen out since finishing last of 8 in a 2725m Cabourg Class E in early-January. Shoes on and no threat
LASKA ANGELE – Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2800m Cholet Class F last Tuesday. Can however make a big impact if Paul Ploquin assures her initial strides
LELLAMIKA – Sanctioned when preparing for this in a 2800m Cholet Class F late-April. Still in conditioning mode though and others easier to back
LAST CHANCE – Makes first appearance since running 8th of 14 in a 2175m Vincennes Class E last December and will need the race
LASTOJAINE – Beaten only by a very good horse in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 3 weeks ago. Goes barefoot again and will be expected to finish in the mix once more
LADY EVER – Good 2nd at Maure prior to coming 4th of 12 in a 2700m Graignes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Hind shoes off for first time and looks competitive for a first-5 cheque
LA BELLE JAMINI – Unthreatening 6th of 11 in a 2200m Class E here on 26 April. Is confirmed at Caen but in this company will struggle to leave her mark
LOLLIPOP MIJACK – Made short work of a 2700m Graignes Class F on 1 May. Takes on a better lot this time but still has the quality to confirm
LIBELLA DU HOULBET – 8th of 14 behind LA BELLE JAMINI (12) in a Class E over 2200m here 3 weeks ago. Has a lot going for her this time and looks a possible spoiler
Summary: Nicely-engaged close to the limit off earnings, and already boasting a 75 percent win-rate, LOLLIPOP MIJACK (13) steps up in category but clearly has the margin to confirm. Runner-up to her at Graignes recently, LEONORA (5) is progressing well and again looks the main adversary. LASKA ANGELE (7) has bags of ability and will have her chances if she gets off on the right foot. LIBELLA DU HOULBET (14) is no champion but she enjoys a fine entry, races first-time barefoot, and with Mathieu Mottier reining will be afforded every chance.

LOUIS GAILLARD – Dependable type stepping up in category after running 2nd of 12 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F a fortnight back. Mathieu Mottier gets the nod and is unlikely to let the side down
LITTLE LOVE – Sanctioned in a 2750m Elbeuf Class F on 27 April. Yet to show a modicum of last season’s potential and can be ruled out
L’ARGENTIER – 6th of 13, on re-entry, in a 2800m Cholet Class F on 28 April. Hind shoes off for first time but others still easier to back
L’ESPOIR INDIGO – Unexceptional 5th of 7 finishers, on comeback, in a 2750m Elbeuf Class F 3 weeks ago and even with pads fitted for the first time will not be improving on that
LUTIN DU BUST – Made it 4 straight sanctions when faulting in a 2650m Bordeaux Class E last December. Unraced since and will have nothing to contribute
LUCKY DU MINON – Handy element that finished last of 8 on re-entry in a 2575m Saint-Brieuc Class E a fortnight ago. Still in conditioning mode though and best to wait
LORFEVRE DU VINOIS – Quality trotter that ran 12th of 17 in a 2200m Class E conditioner here 3 weeks ago. Has already imposed under these conditions and, barefoot for the occasion, can do so again
LAFAYETTE DU BOURG – Reasonable trotter that held his own when 5th of 13 in a 2200m Class E here 2 months ago. Has freshness on his side and while not a priority can still play a small role
LOOKING CHIC – Patently useful but yet to get into his stride this term, latterly sanctioned in a 2850m Laval Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Entrusted to Paul Ploquin this time and should not be far from the action if he gets his charge off on the right foot
LEADER TURGOT – Like a horse reborn since starting to race barefoot, most recently 2nd of 13 in a 2700m Class F at La Capelle 2 weeks ago. Is close to his race and must be considered a leading contender
LUPIN DU RIB – Unlucky 7th of 12 in a 2800m Chartres Class E 10 days ago. Has tons of ability and will not be far from the action if kept out of trouble
LEADER DU MOUCHEL – Moderate sort making first appearance since being sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class E last November and is not a concern
LABEL GEMA – 5th of 8 finishers in a 3200m Fougeres Class F on comeback earlier this month. Will have progressed for the race and the engagement of Benjamin Rochard speaks volumes. Chance
Summary: Course-and-distance winner at 3, LORFEVRE DU VINOIS (8) has two races under his belt since the lengthy layoff; he races barefoot for the first time, is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois who has won 2 for 2 with him, and looks the obvious choice. They can still expect to feel some heat from the terrifically-entered LABEL GEMA (14) who left a good impression on re-entry, and LEADER TURGOT (11) who has started to come good again. LUPIN DU RIB (12) endured a tough trip at Chartres recently, but sports a fresh configuration and Jean-Loïc Claude Dersoir will be eager to put things right.

KEVA MADRIK – Sanctioned in a 2900m Arras Class F 3 weeks ago. A total write-off so far this year and can be confidently ruled out
KATARINA DE LOU – Disappointing so far this year, latterly sanctioned in a 2725m Elbeuf Class F 8 days ago, and has no possible chance
KITY DE LA MORTRIE – 3rd of 16 in a 2800m Cholet Class F on 28 April. Goes barefoot again and is ideally-positioned to win this
KALISTA DE HOUELLE – 3rd of 16 in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche late last month. Has yet to deliver right-handed but in current condition is easy to like for a place on the podium
KENTIA HAUFOR – Imposed at Ecommoy when first-time barefoot prior to coming 4th of 10 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E on 5 May. Handed the 5-spot, sports 4 pads for first time, and is unlikely to go home empty-handed
KISSABELLA – Tricky character that finished 10th of 12 in a 2450m ridden Class F here 2.5 weeks ago and can be ignored
KARLESS DANICA – Ran 2nd at Meslay on re-entry before tenaciously winning a 2725m Lisieux Class E on 27 March. Comes here fresh and from front line can play a leading role
KLOE D’ARRY – 6th of 7 finishers on re-entry in a 2825m Chartres Class E 10 days ago. Has been reconfigured for the occasion and even though drawn wide, still looks good enough to make first 5
KADABRA – Has gone from strength to strength this term, most recently winning a 2900m Challans Class F on 27 April. Should take well to Caen conditions and looks main threat to KITY DE LA MORTRIE (3)
KISS ME DE MADKER – Handy element but below-par 6th of 10 finishers in a 2725m Graignes Class F 8 days ago and, even with hind shoes off, is not about to spring a surprise
KATE PERRINE – Has 3 races in her following a 15 months’ absence, latterly sanctioned in a 2500m Class F at La Rochelle on 1 May, and running barefoot for the first time could pleasantly surprise
KALYPSO MI AMOR – Surprise 2nd at Bordeaux but disappointing 8th of 11 behind KISS ME DE MADKER (10) in a 2750m Elbeuf Class F 3 weeks ago and can be passed over
KALOUMA DELADOU – Sanctioned in both starts this term, most recently a 2400m Amiens monte Class F on 3 May. Races barefoot this time, has already imposed at Caen, but others easier to trust
KINGALA – Consistent sort that was surprisingly sanctioned in a 2825m Chartres Class E 10 days ago. Returns to racing shod and, already proven here, can get a look-in
KALINKA DU HOME – Made up for Pontivy performance when 4th of 15 in a 2150m Argentan Class F last Monday. Handed a tough draw and backs up with modest aspiration
KINA DE WALLIS – Hard to knock so far this term, latterly 3rd of 11 in a 2750m Elbeuf Class F a fortnight ago and in this company will struggle to make her mark
Summary: KITY DE LA MORTRIE (3) has been on the right trajectory since returning in March, proved herself here last season, and from the 3-spot can get straight back in the game. KADABRA (9) has pulled a tough draw but showed her form at Challans 3 weeks ago and must be considered a contender. KARLESS DANICA (7) took no time returning to the winners’ enclosure and is thoroughly capable of complementing her Lisieux victory. KALISTA DE HOUELLE (4) is clearly in fine fettle and from the 4-spot will be dangerous.

GINKGO ROCQ – Placed here in early-March but disappointing since, latterly last but one behind JERIKA DE KERYANN (6) in a Class F over track and trip 2 weeks ago and can be confidently disregarded
JIL – Sanctioned in a 2800m Cholet Class F on 28 April. Seldom far from faulting but has references in exalted company and is not incapable of winning this
HIER ENCORE – Very disappointing for past 18 months, latterly sanctioned in a Class F over track and trip 2 weeks ago and has no realistic chance
JOYAU DE JANZE – Fine campaigner that ran 3rd of 12 in a 2850m Laval Class C on 24 April. Has been freshly reconfigured for the occasion and legitimately bids to keep his unbeaten Caen record intact
JERIKA DE KERYANN – 2nd of 10 in a Class F over track and trip 2 weeks ago. In marginally better company this time but appreciates these conditions and can make first 5
JABLO DU CHENE – Got straight down to business on re-entry late last month, winning a 2800m Cholet Class F with ease. Boasts solid Caen credentials and will be expected to challenge for the win
FILOU DES ULMES – Unremarkable sort that was sanctioned in a 3200m Fougeres Class F on 1 May and will have few if any takers
JAZZY THOURJAN – Takes a dip in category after running 5th of 11 in a 2175m Vincennes Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Has no right-handed references but sports 4 pads for the first time and in current shape is easy to like
HATE YOU BEYLEV – Courageous 2nd of 11 in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class D on 23 April. Has decent Caen references but would have better prospects a level down
JAMBIER D’OURVILLE – 3rd on re-entry before running 2nd of 16 in a 2650m Alencon Class F 3 weeks ago. Thierry Duvaldestin could not have wished for a better entry and Luka Ott will be keen to make hay
Summary: An absolute dynamo under the saddle, the well-engaged JAMBIER D’OURVILLE (11) has returned from his break in cracking form and Luka Ott’s weight allowance will only improve his already good chances. Principal opposition should logically come from JABLO DU CHENE (7) who dominated a decent field on his comeback late last month. Unbeaten in 2 starts over course and distance, and sporting a new formula, JOYAU DE JANZE (5) is easy to like, as is the trickier but reconfigured JIL (3) who will have the measure of most here provided she stays in stride.

KORSIKO – Put 5 straight sanctions behind him to win a 2725m Graignes Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly in rude health and can again figure prominently if Cédric Terry keeps him focused
KAPORAL GAME – Returns to a hard surface after finishing last but one in a 2700m Pontivy Class F on 1 May. Reverts to his most performant configuration but the draw will do him no favours
KING PRESTIGE – Last of 9 when preparing for this in a 2575m Saint-Brieuc Class E a fortnight ago. Ideally-positioned on front line and, entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois, can get straight down to business
KIDAM DU METZ – Left quite the impression, despite hanging, when victorious in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle 9 days ago, on first start since January. Enjoys a good draw and will be competitive for a place in the frame
KILLER D’ENFER – 2nd at Lisieux before running 4th of 13 in a 2800m Villedieu-les-Poëles Class F on 4 May. Has previously won here, is competitively-shod, and unlikely to disappoint
KEEP YOUR LOVE – 7th of 13 in a 2975m Jallais Class F 2 weeks ago. Starts in front, with Benjamin Rochard in the bike, and is not to be underestimated
KAOLIN MOUROTAIS – Got back in the winners’ circle at Elbeuf 9 days ago when successful in a 2750m Class F. Is new to the venue and although unlikely to repeat will still have his supporters
KADOR DE LA COUR – Pleasant but unthreatening 4th of 10 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine conditioner on 5 May. Has solid references at this level and will be expected to figure prominently
KING JULMA – Won a 2575m Bihorel-lès-Rouen Class F in early-April but is shod and being aimed too high this time, and can be ruled out
KYMI JACK – Returns to racing barefoot after being sanctioned in a 2150m Argentan Class F last Monday. Starts on back row but appears to be in good shape and, with application, can make first 5
KALOGERO SI – 7th of 16 in a 3200m Fougeres Class F 9 days ago. Has looked ordinary so far this term and must raise his game
KINDER DES HOUX – Unremarkable trotter that was sanctioned in a 2825m Durtal Class F on 23 March. Has had time to freshen up but still looks out of his depth
KOMMODORE – Unseen since running 8th of 10 finishers in a 2600m Nancy Class G last November and is going to need the race
KOOKABURRA – Starts for first time since coming 4th of 15 in a 2800m Vire Class F last November. Shoes on and no threat this time
Summary: Put away after winning 4 of his last 5 starts in 2024, KING PRESTIGE (4) has a brace of conditioners under his belt this term, is shod to preference, and is going to take all the beating. Also with 2 runs in him since the break, KADOR DE LA COUR (9) will be fully fit and should take well to Caen conditions. A winner on comeback, KIDAM DU METZ (5) will not be sent out at 37/1 this time and makes his Caen debut with a good hand to play. Sanctioned in his first 2 this year, KORSIKO (2) soundly imposed at Graignes recently and, with stride in check, can confirm.

KALISTA D’AVRIL – Sanctioned earlier in the month in a 2875m Meslay Class E. Is not devoid of ability but is particularly capricious and will have few takers
KEEGAN DE PARNIERE – Sanctioned on re-entry 9 days ago in a 2750m harness Class E at La Capelle. Is too frequently object of the stewards’ gaze and can be passed over
LEBARON D’OURVILLE – Has struggled since securing a harness double earlier this year, most recently 7th of 9 in a 2875m Meslay harness Class D 12 days ago. Sports modified shoeing for monte debut but cannot be considered a priority
LEGENDE DES ECUS – Has turned a corner since switching codes, most recently 2nd of 12 in a Class E over course and distance, and again looks main threat to LUXUEUSE DANICA (11)
KALEA DREAM – Pleasant 4th of 9 finishers in a Class E under these conditions 3 weeks ago but a repeat seems most improbable
LANCELOT DE BEYLEV – Sanctioned in a 2950m Toulouse Class F in early-April. Enjoys a fine monte record and has had time to recalibrate. First 5
KOLOSSE RHODES – Back under the saddle after coming 5th of 7 finishers in a 2825m Chartres Class E 10 days ago. Is no slouch on a good day but others easier to back
KEOPS LUDOIS – Last but one, on return to competition, in a 3125m Angers Class E on 10 April. Has ample ability, will be shod to preference this time, and must be afforded respect
LUXUEUSE DANICA – Won 3 of last 4, latterly a 2875m Enghien Class D on 19 April. Has thrived since moving yard and can pick up another victory
KORINTO BELLO – Last of 14 when preparing for this in a 2800m Cholet Class F conditioner on 28 April and with Mathieu Mottier aboard can make his monte debut a winning one
LATINO BEJI – 2nd of 17 in a 2875m Argentan harness Class E on 14 April. Is undeniably useful and will not be far off the mark if he stays in stride
LOUISIANE KERYVON – 3rd of 10 in a 2200m Vincennes Class D early last month. Placed on lone Caen start and while not a priority, should nevertheless hold her own
KERSIGAN – Opened his 2025 account at La Guerche-de-Bretagne before coming 5th of 11 in a 2975m Toulouse Class E 3 weeks ago. Races barefoot this time but, at this level, will have limited prospects
KSAR LUDOIS – Unable to pull off the hat-trick when sanctioned in a 3225m Fougeres Class E on 20 April. Ideally-engaged, with leading jockey in the saddle, and is not to be underestimated
Summary: Enjoying something of a renaissance since starting to race barefoot, LUXUEUSE DANICA (11) ran 3rd here before imposing at Enghien a month back. LEGENDE DES ECUS (6) beat her in March and again looks a serious proposition, as does the Mathieu Mottier-partnered KORINTO BELLO (12) who takes to the discipline for the first time. Stride issues meant KSAR LUDOIS (16) was unable to confirm his re-entry success but is reunited with Benjamin Rochard for whom he has never disappointed.

PHINEAS (3) broke his maiden streak in his third start and that can boost his confidence in him producing a similar effort over the trip.

CITY OF ANGELS – Is out of the mare Pen Du who had five starts for no victory while the sire, City Light was a Group III winning horse. Might need the first outing experience
Summary: CARO BUONO (3) ran a good third over the distance and can certainly perform winning ways here and smash his inaugural stages by securing his first career victory. CLEA CHOPE (1) was a winner over the 1100m and she now steps 100m further which will be of no issue to her and can reproduce winning tactics in this lineup. LE BON DOCTEUR (8) was a smart third on debut and considers finishing closer this time around. ST GERMAIN (2) will find himself making improvement on his debut effort.

PHIL THE FLUTER – Finished 3rd in a Class 4 Conditional over 2600m at Chatillon on the 1st of May 2025. Form does not boast confidence to threaten top selectors
Summary: SHANGHAI SPIRIT (8) was a pleasing third last time out and does step 50m more in trip which could be the cherry on the icing for him to sneak into the winners box. MYADANA (11) brings a win behind her into the race and seems to be sparkling with confidence which will be of no surprise if she reproduces winning ways. WUKHANN (3) holds erratic form of late but he did take on much stronger and could be involved in the shakeup in this division. JAGDA (6) steps up in trip to the 3150m again which will be right up her ally and she could spoil the party.

He returns to the track after four months and if he strips fit, he will be a winning machine once again. DARING PRINCE (2) brings delightful form into the race and with fitness on his side, he needs to be given serious consideration in this Listed lineup.

SAGRE DE DRAGO (3) produced a decent effort over the trip last time out and looks to be the bold danger to the top selection.

With the natural improvement, she looks the one they all have to beat in this line-up. FREED FROM DESIRE (8) has been upped five pounds for her last success but could have more to offer. EAST GREY (3) seems to be on a workable mark on her handicap debut and is worth some consideration. FLASH MAN (2) is a progressive type who cannot be any ignored in any betting calculations.

LOVER MAUZUN – Remains in good form and was third in Class E at Lyon-Parilly over 2600m on 14 April. Should fight out the finish
Summary: LOVER MAUZUN (9) has been lethal over shorter distances, and his recent efforts suggest he may now be ready to strike over this longer trip. LASER MAGIC (5) has only been beaten once with this shoeing arrangement and should be a serious threat as he bids for a hat-trick. LOVER DE CHENU (8) tries a bit further and could get into the mix. L’AS DES ISLES (2) is unreliable but has already won twice this year and is another who could shine.

LA RAISON D’ÊTRE (4) has yet to win and is unreliable, but she has the ability to make the frame.
