R1 CABOURG [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DU MONT-SAINT-MICHEL – 2725m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 33,000

  1. IMOKO ATOUT – Did not enjoy the best of runs when 11th of 14 in a 2450m Caen Class E mid-June. Starts on the inside and Yoann Lebourgeois will be eager to put things right
  2. HARCANGELO D’AMOUR – Encouraged at Savigny-sur-Braye before coming 8th of 10 finishers in a 3150m Class F at La Roche-Posay mid-June and is unlikely to generate much interest
  3. IRON MIJACK – Out of the picture in 2 since imposing at Meslay, latterly sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien claimer last week, and despite the draw can be passed over
  4. HATTILA – Reassuring 5th of 10 in a 2400m Amiens Class E on 28 June. Is clearly on the right trajectory and with Gabi Gelormini in the bike will be afforded every chance. First 5
  5. ITRO – Imposed at Gournay-en-Bray before coming 2nd of 15 in a 2875m Enghien claimer last week. Takes on a better lot this time and chances limited
  6. IRIS DU PERCHE – Failed to confirm Caen victory when sanctioned in a 2775m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne a month back. Starts in front and with application can make this his own
  7. IDEAL DE SASSY – 9th of 13 finishers when preparing for this in a 2775m Craon Class F on 23 June. Reunited with his driver of choice and will be expected to bounce back and finish close
  8. HANUGAN – Unplaced in both starts this term, most recently last of 10 behind HATTILA (4) in a 2400m Amiens Class E last Saturday, and even with front shoes off will have nothing to contribute
  9. IRMINIO KILY – Disappointing in last 5, most recently sanctioned in a 2150m Vichy Class E last week, and is not about to spice things up
  10. IN LOVE REGLISSE – Sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class D a week ago. Did win his last 2 harness starts though and should not be ruled out
  11. INVICTUS MADRIK – 6th of 10, a place behind HATTILA (4), in a 2400m Amiens Class E last Saturday. Will be fully fit by now and the engagement of Mathieu Mottier will do his prospects no disservice
  12. INTELLO D’ERABLE – Sanctioned at Saint-Malo before coming 9th of 11 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class F 11 days ago. Needs to reassure but has a lot going for him this time and will be no pushover
    Summary: Unlucky at Les Sables-d’Olonne after having dominated in Caen, IRIS DU PERCHE (6) is clearly in form though and, reunited with David Thomain, will be expected to set the record straight. INTELLO D’ERABLE (12), whose recent numbers do little to inspire confidence, has been less-favourably drawn but returns to a track he adores, shod to preference, and Matthieu Abrivard will be in the bike. IDEAL DE SASSY (7) breaks wide and was not particularly impressive at Craon, but seldom disappoints with Francois Lecanu. IMOKO ATOUT (1) is no slouch on a good day and Yoann Lebourgeois has kept faith.
    SELECTIONS
    IRIS DU PERCHE (6) – INTELLO D’ERABLE (12) – IDEAL DE SASSY (7) – IMOKO ATOUT (1)
    C2 – PRIX DE GRANVILLE – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 26,000
  13. KELLY D’ACADIE – 4th of 12 finishers in a 2850m Laval monte Class E on 26 June. Is confirmed here but would be preferred under the saddle
  14. KONFINEE A BAZOCHE – Last but one in a 3125m Ranes Class F on 9 June. Reconfigured for the occasion but still not an obvious choice
  15. LOTTA SUEDOISE – Has taken well to her new formula, latterly 4th of 11 in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle mid-June. Has placed just once in 7 going clockwise but in present shape is easy to like for a minor place cheque
  16. KATIA TURGOT – Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 3200m Montmirail Class F last Sunday, and will have few friends
  17. LUMIERE MIKA – Totally off the boil all year, latterly sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class D 2.5 weeks ago, and has no possible chance
  18. LA TRINITE NEMO – Stayed on well to secure a 3125m Angers Class E on 10 June. Has hardly put a foot wrong all year and from front line will be competitive for a place in the frame
  19. KABALA QUICK – 6th of 16 behind KIZIA STAR (8) on re-entry in a 2450m Caen Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Incurs the penalty this time but new trainer will be expecting a big run
  20. KIZIA STAR – Made up for Saint-Malo sanction when 3rd of 16 in a 2450m Caen Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Enjoys a terrific entry on the front row, sports a fresh configuration, and is unlikely to disappoint
  21. KAROLINE CADE – Unable to confirm Angers performance when sanctioned in a 2800m Vire Class E last week. Unlikely to shake things up but with application can get a look in
  22. LADY DE VANDEL – Won 2 of last 3, latterly a 2700m Vincennes Class D a month back, but with shoes on this time will have other ambitions
  23. LADY DES ARRIS – Useful filly starting for first time since coming 3rd of 9 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 1 April. Shoes on and best to keep one’s powder dry
  24. LOLA DAIRPET – Sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class C 2 weeks ago. Here for reasons of conditioning and poses no danger
  25. KAI LA SHA – Makes first appearance since finishing 13th of 15 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D last Christmas and even though barefoot for re-entry is still going to need the run
  26. KENNEDY STREET – Sanctioned in a 2850m Laval Class D last week. Races barefoot this time, with Gabi Gelormini reining, and considering her love for Cabourg is not to be underestimated
  27. KYA D’ERABLE – Makes Cabourg debut after running 2nd of 13 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E 10 days ago. Is close to the limit of earnings and can get off the mark for 2025
  28. LAURELINA – Showed marked improvement on 2nd start back, coming 3rd of 16 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C a fortnight ago. Yoann Lebourgeois in the bike this time, trainer could not have asked for a better entry, and can impose
    Summary: Barring her Argentan sanction, KYA D’ERABLE (15) has been in excellent shape this year, enjoys a good entry, and a repeat of her recent Vincennes performance would see her win this. Similarly well-engaged, LAURELINA (16) reassured at the same venue a week earlier and there is little to separate them. 25m better off, KABALA QUICK (7) pleased on her first start for the Mathieu Mottier yard and will have come on for the run. LA TRINITE NEMO (6) also breaks in front and Arnaud Desmottes will be keen to confirm her Angers victory.
    SELECTIONS
    KYA D’ERABLE (15) – LAURELINA (16) – KABALA QUICK (7) – LA TRINITE NEMO (6)
    C3 – PRIX DE RANES – 2725m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 27,000
  29. JOFESCA BUISSONAY – Imposed at Vichy before running 2nd of 13 in a 2450m Caen Class E in late-May and looks the one to beat
  30. JOYCE DE LA COUR – Has picked up this season where she left off in 2024, latterly last of 13 in 11 June race of reference, and can be passed over
  31. JIKITA MELRIC – Finished a place behind JOFESCA BUISSONAY (1) late-May before losing her action in a 2450m Caen Class E 11 days later. Is clearly in form though and on better behaviour should again contest the finish
  32. JUST IN LOVE – Sanctioned in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E on 22 June. Goes barefoot this time, with Matthieu Abrivard in the bike, and will have her supporters
  33. JOYCE DREAM – 5th of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class D last week. Sports the same configuration and finishing in the frame is well within her capability
  34. JADESKA – Missed the break and finished 11th of 13 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 11 June. Goes well for Cedric Terry and is well-placed to give this a go. Place chance
  35. IVORY DU CHERISAY – Capable mare that failed to confirm Sablé-sur-Sarthe victory when sanctioned early in a 2200m Caen amateurs Class G on 23 June. Has placed twice here but others still preferred
  36. JADE FOR EVER – Sanctioned in a 2400m Amiens Class E 3 weeks ago. Gives a good account for the most part when barefoot and focused though, has previously beaten JOFESCA BUISSONAY (1), and the Franck Nivard-factor cannot be ignored
  37. MAKE IT A STAR – Makes French debut after being sanctioned in a 2140m monte event in Hagmyren 2 weeks ago. Is no slouch under harness, races barefoot, with David Thomain in the bike, and will be one to watch
  38. JOIE DE VIVRE – Surprise 5th in race of reference before being sanctioned in a 2200m Caen Class D on 23 June, and others easier to trust
  39. IRAFARA – Sanctioned in a 2600m Class G at Le Touquet on 22 June but is shod as she was when imposing at Le Mont-Saint-Michel in May and should not be overlooked
  40. JALAPA DU BUISSON – Disappointing on the whole this year, latterly 10th of 11 finishers behind JADESKA (6) in a 2200m Caen Class D on 23 June, and needs to pull her socks up
  41. IDEALE D’ARCEY – Lost her action in a 3150m Mamers Class F on 9 June. Out of the picture in all 6 starts this year and can be written off
  42. JOY DU CHERISAY – Sanctioned in a 2825m Durtal Class F on 22 June. Has done nothing of note since 2023 and is not about to trouble the judge
    Summary: Back at the top of her game and nicely-entered here, JOFESCA BUISSONAY (1) boasts solid Cabourg credentials and can continue her fine run of form. Yoann Lebourgeois will still be keeping a watchful eye on the better-placed JIKITA MELRIC (3) who will be expected to make up for her recent sanction, and JADESKA (6) who defied her odds at Caen 11 days ago. JOYCE DREAM (5) held her own at Laval and should logically play an active role.
    SELECTIONS
    JOFESCA BUISSONAY (1) – JIKITA MELRIC (3) – JADESKA (6) – JOYCE DREAM (5)
    C4 – PRIX PAUL VIEL – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 37,000
  43. JAPAROV LIRE – Returns to France after coming 4th of 11 over 2840m in Mons on 10 June. Is new to Cabourg but races barefoot and is not to be overlooked
  44. JUNKIE (SWE) – 5th of 11 behind DRAGOWSKI (16) in a 2750m Toulouse Class D on 18 June. Less competitively-shod this time and others easier to back
  45. JAIN MAB – Won 2 of last 3, latterly a 2825m Durtal Class F on 22 June. Mathieu Mottier reining here but takes on a better lot this time and would be preferred barefoot
  46. JIBI DU FRUITIER – Pleasant 3rd of 15 in a 2700m Graignes Class D a month back but takes on too much this time and chances limited
  47. JOTUNN DU DOME – Quality trotter making first appearance since running 4th of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class B 5 months ago. Imposed last time here and although unlikely to confirm is still worth retaining
  48. ANOTHER CREATION – Disappointing in 2 since returning from a long absence, most recently sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes Class D a month back, and will have nothing to offer
  49. JUST FOR LOVA – Unraced since faulting in a 2925m Cagnes Class A last March. Front shoes fitted this time and best to pass over
  50. FAUBOURG DU PERCHE – Makes first start since being sanctioned in a 2150m Enghien claimer last August and has no realistic chance
  51. HIRONDELLE FEE – Hard to handle over recent months, lastly sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class D a week ago, and can be ruled out
  52. JOURNEE REVEE – Sanctioned in last 3, latterly a 3225m Vitre Class E on 1 June, but boasts an enviable Cabourg record and with application will be dangerous
  53. ICONE D’ERABLE – Stayed on well to win a 2350m Angers Class E on 10 June. Has never disappointed in the day’s configuration and, given her liking for Cabourg, can expect to garner significant support
  54. IVANA DES RACQUES – 4th of 11 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D a week ago. Is not about to get her nose in front but will still be competitive for a first-5 cheque
  55. IVOIRE PRESTANCE – Ran 2nd at Lisieux before coming 4th of 15 in a 2575m Agen Class D in late-May. Entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois for first time and could pleasantly surprise
  56. BAYARD (GER) – Failed to confirm Croisé-Laroche effort when 6th of 11 finishers in a 2600m Nancy Class E late-May, but represents no more than a minor place prospect
  57. CARL HALBAK – Has won 3 from 5 since coming to France, most recently a 2100m Vincennes Class E with ease 2 weeks ago, and is thoroughly capable of pulling off the 3-timer
  58. DRAGOWSKI – 3rd of 11 in a 2750m Toulouse Class D on 18 June. Goes right-handed for just 2nd time in his career and considering the entry, must be afforded significant respect
    Summary: Following a courageous victory at Hyeres, CARL HALBAK (15) went on to confirm in Paris, and with form maintained can make it 3 on the trot. Matthieu Abrivard will still want to be wary of the superbly-engaged DRAGOWSKI (16) who gave a reassuringly good account in Toulouse, and the tricky but talented, and reconfigured, JOURNEE REVEE (10) who simply excels at Cabourg. Winner at Angers early last month, ICONE D’ERABLE (11) returns to a track she appreciates and will be sporting front pads for the occasion. IVANA DES RACQUES (12) missed out by little that day and will not be far from the action.
    SELECTIONS
    CARL HALBAK (15) – DRAGOWSKI (16) – JOURNEE REVEE (10) – ICONE D’ERABLE (11)
    C5 – PRIX D’AGON-COUTAINVILLE – 2725m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 22,000
  59. LOVELY GODIVA – Should not be hastily condemned for faulting in a 2750m Class D at La Capelle 2 weeks ago. Showed her form that day and with a leading pilot in the bike can put things right
  60. LITTLE DU RIB – Made up for Lisieux effort when 4th of 15 in a 2850m Laval Class D last week. Decently-placed in front and is present shape should be competitive at the business end of affairs
  61. LEGENDE DE NILREM – Left a good impression when 5th of 12 on re-entry in a 2150m Vichy Class E on 11 June. Will have progressed for the race and from the 3-spot can play a leading role
  62. LIBELLA DU HOULBET – Won a Caen Class E before coming 7th of 9 finishers in a 2725m Lisieux Class D on 8 June, but will need to find more in order to compete on level terms
  63. LICORNVERASPERANZA – Twice second before running 5th of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 27 May. Is clearly close to her race and Yoann Lebourgeois will be keen to prove the point
  64. LALY DE JADE – Quality element that has never disappointed racing clockwise, most recently 2nd of 15 in a 2150m Vichy Class E last week. Unlikely to get her nose in front but is unlikely to go home empty-handed either
  65. LADY DE SAFRAN – Showed improvement when 5th of 13 in a 2150m Enghien Class E 3 weeks ago but starts wide and is being aimed too high
  66. LADY CHANNEL – Sanctioned in last 2, most recently when going well in a 2100m Vincennes Class E late-May. Ran 2nd on lone Cabourg start and, sporting a new configuration, can start to make amends. Chance
  67. LAURA SISSI – Sanctioned in a 2200m Caen Class E on 11 June. Hind shoes off for first time but still not easy to recommend
    Summary: Although sanctioned in both starts this year, LOVELY GODIVA (1) comes to Cabourg plainly in excellent shape and with Matthieu Abrivard in the bike, can set the record straight and win this. Reconfigured following her own brace of sanctions, LADY CHANNEL (8) starts behind her on the second row and, proven at Cabourg, and sporting a new formula, can defy the draw and make a big impact. LEGENDE DE NILREM (3) caught the eye on her Vichy comeback, will have progressed for the race, and will be no soft touch. LICORNVERASPERANZA (5) has been knocking at the door in the provinces and is unlikely to let the side down
    SELECTIONS
    LOVELY GODIVA (1) – LADY CHANNEL (8) – LEGENDE DE NILREM (3) – LICORNVERASPERANZA (5)
    C6 – PRIX DE PORTBAIL – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 23,000
  68. KENOR DES LANDES – Unexceptional type that ran 7th of 11 finishers in a 2225m Agon Class F on 22 June. Franck Nivard in the bike but still not an obvious choice
  69. KALIMERO DE RIO – Back on a hard surface after coming 4th of 8 finishers in a 2700m Class F at Le Dorat mid-June but still has more to find
  70. KOUGAR DES RACQUES – Last but one in a 2575m Gournay-en-Bray claimer early last month and can expect to remain friendless in the markets
  71. KIRIKOU STREET – Sanctioned in both starts this season, latterly a 3125m Ranes Class F on 9 June. Races barefoot this time and despite the hike in category can still get a look in
  72. KINBALL – Sanctioned in 4 of 5 this season, most recently a 2775m Craon Class F on 22 June, and others easier to trust
  73. KID DE GUINETTE – 6th of 17 in a 2775m Craon Class F 12 days ago and would be preferred under the saddle
  74. KOVE DU CHENE – Disqualified in a 2500m Reims Class F on 21 June. Has looked very ordinary this year and with pads fitted will have few takers
  75. KERYVON FARM – Showed improvement when 2nd of 14 in a 3125m Ranes Class F on 22 June. Unlikely to spring a surprise but should nonetheless acquit himself honourably
  76. KOPA VRIE – Won a 2775m Craon Class F 12 days ago. Goes barefoot again and with Paul Ploquin reining will be competitive for a repeat
  77. KHOUST – Starts for first time since coming 3rd of 15 in a 2800m Vire Class F on 8 May. Has freshness on his side and even though shod, still looks capable of making first 5
  78. KANDERO BELLO – Complicated type that failed to confirm his Mont-Saint-Michel performance when faulting in a 2800m Strasbourg Class G mid-June, but with application can challenge for a step on the podium
  79. KOZAK CAUVELLIERE – Makes Cabourg bow 12 days after running 4th of 13 in a 2225m Agon Class F. Cannot be considered a priority but benefits from a terrific entry and should be able to hold his own
  80. KAIROS QUICK – Sanctioned on comeback before finishing last of 11 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E 3 weeks ago. On back line, and stays shod, but still has the wherewithal to pick up some prizemoney
  81. KING ROC – Last but one on re-entry in a 2975m Jallais Class F mid-June. Boasts 100 percent record at Cabourg and, despite the handicap, must be considered a player
  82. KENDO CASTELETS – Took little time getting back down to business following a brief spell, winning a 2450m Caen Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Receives a Mathieu Mottier drive this time and can confirm
    Summary: Comfortable winner at Caen mid-June, KENDO CASTELETS (15) is ideally-engaged, at a track he appreciates, and is easy to like for the double. That said, KOPA VRIE (9) is 25m better off, recently imposed at Craon, and will be dangerous. Barefoot for the occasion, KANDERO BELLO (11) is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois who placed with him in late-May. KING ROC (14) has just the one race in him since the break but has yet to be beaten here and must be afforded respect.
    SELECTIONS
    KENDO CASTELETS (15) – KOPA VRIE (9) – KANDERO BELLO (11) – KING ROC (14)
    C7 – PRIX DE BAGNOLES DE L’ORNE – 2050m (a1m1/4) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 22,000
  83. MULTIPASS – Somewhat made up for Mauquenchy sanction when 5th of 14 in a 2200m Caen Class D 11 days ago. Will not be creating any upset but can still get in on the action
  84. MYSTIC D’AVE – Reassured at Caen on 11 June but unexceptional 6th of 14, a place behind MULTIPASS (1), next time in a 2200m Caen Class D 12 days later, and others easier to back
  85. MIKA DE LA VALLEE – Returns to the provinces after finishing last but one in a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 10 June. Showed his capacity earlier in the year and with Gabriele Gelormini in the bike should not be underestimated
  86. MISTER FRIPOUILLE – Has not been seen out since running 4th of 10 in a 2450m Caen Class E 2 months ago. Will be fresh for Cabourg bow and from the 4-spot will be no easy touch
  87. MASSILIO BLOND – Encouraged at Graignes before running 6th of 11 in a 2875m Enghien claimer last week and in this company can be confidently disregarded
  88. MAMBO THORIS – Failed to confirm Nort-sur-Erdre performance when sanctioned in a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 10 June, and is unlikely to shake things up
  89. MALOU DU BOIS – Lost his maiden status, on first start for 2 months, in a 2950m Vichy Class F mid-June. Starts wide and unlikely to repeat but can still put in a good showing
  90. MILORD DU CHATAULT – Made up for Alencon sanction when 2nd of 11 in a 2525m Cavaillon Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Has pulled a bad number but with Lebourgeois at the helm can get off the mark
  91. MY KLY ERA – Imposed on May debut then ran 2nd of 9 in a 2700m Graignes Class E a month back. Is better than most here and despite the draw can impose
  92. MY WAY LOVE – Has not been seen out since winning a 2550m Reims Class F in early-March and is going to need the race
  93. MIRADOR PLANCHETTE – Well-beaten in last 2, latterly 10th of 14 behind MULTIPASS (1) in a 2200m Caen Class D on 23 June, and the draw only compounds matters
  94. MIVASO DU JACKY – 2nd of 9 finishers in a 2400m Amiens Class F on 7 June. Has progress in him and in spite of a poor draw can nevertheless finish in the mix
    Summary: A thorough professional so far, MY KLY ERA (9) has not been spoiled with a good draw but he still has the class to win a race of this nature. MILORD DU CHATAULT (8) has pulled a similarly bad number but has also shown considerable potential and will be reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois. Better-positioned behind the car, MIKA DE LA VALLEE (3) should take well to the Cabourg profile and it is only a matter of time before he comes good again. Winner at Lisieux on his penultimate start, MISTER FRIPOUILLE (4) enjoys a good spot upsides and Matthieu Abrivard has been drafted in for the occasion.
    SELECTIONS
    MY KLY ERA (9) – MILORD DU CHATAULT (8) – MIKA DE LA VALLEE (3) – MISTER FRIPOUILLE (4)
    C8 – PRIX DE GENETS – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Mounted – EUR € 19,500
  95. LADY MONA – Unsurprisingly sanctioned on return to competition in a 2450m Caen Class E mid-June and already looks out of her depth
  96. LIBERTE DE LARRE – Modest individual that lost her action in a 2425m Angers Class E on 10 June and can be ruled out
  97. LADY DE GUEHAM – Sanctioned in a 2475m Niort Class F on 22 June but trounced the opposition at Gournay and with application will have a lot to offer
  98. LUTINE DU CEDRE – A write-off so far this year, most recently sanctioned in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel last Monday, and debuts in the discipline with modest ambition
  99. LUEUR DU CHATELET – Useful filly making first start since running 2nd of 15 in a Class F over course and distance last August. Races first-time barefoot but is still going to need the run
  100. LIVIA DES LANDES – Runner-up in last 2, most recently a 2425m Angers Class E on 10 June. Caught the eye that day and with application will not be far off the mark
  101. LUCIE DES BAUX – Back under harness after finishing 11th of 12 in a 2400m Amiens harness Class F 3 weeks ago and must be considered a major player
  102. LILI GUILLERVILLE – 6th of 7 finishers behind LIVIA DES LANDES (6) in a 2425m Angers Class E on 10 June. Tends to go well here though and, shod more competitively, will be worth monitoring
  103. LAZIE PONT VAUTIER – Ran 3rd at Reims before coming 4th of 11 in a 2800m Chartres Class F on 18 June. In tougher company this time though and others easier to back
  104. LAURENTINA TURGOT – Reassuring 3rd of 12 in a 2800m Bernay harness Class F mid-June. Sports a fresh formula for ridden debut and can play a small role
  105. LOVELIE SPEED – Sanctioned in a 2825m harness Durtal Class F on 22 June. Showed ability last season and can make a big splash if Olivier Placier keeps her trotting
  106. LADY DU PERCHE – Sanctioned in a 2425m Angers Class E on 10 June. Is no slouch on a good day, and races barefoot, but others still preferred
  107. LENOLA DE CORTEM – Races clockwise for first time this year, latterly 2nd of 12 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F mid-June. Is close to winning another but steps marginally up in category and looks more a first-5 chance this time
  108. LOLA DU LIVET – Sanctioned in last 3, latterly a 2800m Vire Class E on 19 May, and is not about to influence the result
  109. LYXIE KNIGHT – Reassured at Graignes before faulting in a 2800m Chartres Class E last Sunday. Is ideally-entered here and with Mathieu Mottier reining will be afforded every chance
    Summary: Disappointing in both starts this term, LOVELIE SPEED (11) switches to the ridden code for the first time, has been fitted with front pads, and can win this if ability transitions. Solid at Caen earlier in the year on her only monte start to date, LUCIE DES BAUX (7) gets another crack at it, shod as she was that day, and Victor Saussaye will be in the irons this time. Reconfigured after failing to confirm her Gournay-en-Bray success, Guillaume Martin gets the nod here and can start to set the record straight. Reinvigorated lately, LIVIA DES LANDES (6) must be taken seriously.

    R3 FEURS [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DEPARTEMENT DE LA LOIRE – 2850m (a2m) – Class G Amateur Drivers Race – Harness – EUR € 6,000

  1. ICARE DE JAUNOUX – Returned from a lengthy break and was 6th in Class G over this course and distance on 21 June. Could need another run or two to get to peak fitness

LITTLE DREAM (6) has only been modest of late but can be a threat over this course and distance. LITCHI DU RABUTIN (12) showed improvement on her second start and would not be a surprise winner.

  25. LOU MARINA – Tad disappointing in latest when sixth over 2650m at Chateaubriant in Class 4 Handicap on 12 May. Needs luck from the barrier position
  26. SHANGHAI SPIRIT – Better than last two starts. Unplaced over 3000m at Parislongchamp in Class 3 Handicap on 5 June. Can feature on best form shown

    Summary: MARKER (1) showed good signs of a form return when second over 2400m on 8 June. Mickael Barzalona retains the ride which is a big plus. If confirming his recent improvement, he can go one better. SUMMER WAY (4) has finished fifth in both of her starts this year. She will strip a much fitter horse and is one of the leading contenders. MATGIWELL (7) followed up her penultimate victory at Parislongchamp with a decent fourth-place finish. She is in a good space and must be considered. ZALETTO (3) ran a fair race when fifth at Lyon Parilly on 14 June and would not be a shock winner.

ECLAIR DE VATI (10) is on a long losing run but ran well at Argentan and is clearly not out of it. HARLEY DREAM (9) showed improvement at ParisLongchamp and is another to consider.

    Summary: BARISTO (4) has been knocking at the door with two second-place runs so far, the latter at this track in a maiden on June 2nd. He can be too smart for the promising filly HEPBURN (7), who was third behind a facile winner on her latest outing at this track, and should enjoy the step up in trip. One place ahead in second in the same race was VOLKONSKHA (6), and she can again give a good account of herself. BANKHOVSKI (8) is also worth consideration.

  18. EMIR CHOP – He won at Toulouse on May 28th when last seen in a claiming hurdle over 3500m. Might need a few to misfire

KIM DU LEMO (4) has both hurdles and flat credentials and should be right there in the mix.

  41. KISSAURA STAR – Four unplaced runs of late, the latter over 2250m in a conditions race on June 15th. Opposable
    Summary: In a contest that lacks depth, SIGNATURE AL MAURY (7) sets a fair standard based on her Mont-de-Marsan second two runs back, and looks capable of getting off the mark. ALREEM (5) should be a strong contender if she builds on her earlier Dax effort, while BEHOOR AL SHAHANIA (6) is an improving type with an each-way appeal after a solid runner-up finish at Gabarret in May. MOMINA (3) could sneak into the frame, though she may need further improvement.

She should not be inconvenienced by the drop back in trip and is preferred ahead of CATH HOCHE (4), who won on debut and ran with credit to be third in a Class 3 race over 1000m in May.

    Summary: CEZANNE DE GHAZAL (7) has a taking pedigree, and she will be well prepared by her shrewd handler. She can edge this over SHAMROUKH (6), who also looks the part on paper, and his trainer can ready a newcomer to strike on debut. MAHROUSE (2) was unplaced last time, but a nice effort when second on debut gives him hope. RICH N CLASSY (1) ran well when fifth on his latest start and is worth considering.

  58. ROMAN FORUM – Three solid efforts, a win at Tarbes in a maiden on June 5th over 1500m on the latest start. Up in class and has work to do
    Summary: LIBYAN PHAROAH (3) stands out based on his fourth-place finish in a Listed event at ParisLongchamp in May, which suggests he has the class edge in this field. EXPOSURE (4) is a clear danger, having shown solid consistency and scored last time at Lyon-Parilly; the step up to this company will test him, but he’s progressive.
