R1 FONTAINEBLEAU [L-H]

C1 – PRIX JOUR DE GALOP – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 18,300

1. MEHDALI – Decent 2nd on his last run over 1600m at Clairefontaine on August 2nd. He will know more this time and is not to be taken lightly
2. MICHEL – Credible 4th at Saint-Cloud on October 9th over 1500m in a race for unraced. He can improve for that run and be involved at the finish
3. MIA LOT – He has been 3rd on both starts, the latter over 1600m at Saint-Cloud on October 16th in a maiden race. He looks progressive and must enter calculations
4. PALO SANTO – 6th on his debut start over 1600m at Deauville on October 22nd in a conditions race. He should be fitter after that run and can make the frame
5. DEUX PONTS – Placed 4th on his sole start over 1400m in a maiden race at Clairefontaine on October 21st. He will improve, but others are preferred
6. MAIERATO – Unplaced on the one run over 1600m in a conditions race at Deauville on October 22nd. Look for an alternative
7. FASOLDOFA – Unplaced last time over 1400m in a maiden race at Clairefontaine on October 21st. Likely to find a few to smart
8. HEROISTE – Ran with promise when 3rd over 1800m at Parislongchamp on October 19th in a conditions race. Open to progress, and she can get off the mark
9. ARCTIC BAY – Ran well when 2nd over 1400m in a maiden race at Clairefontaine on October 21st. Hard to overlook with improvement expected
10. RUBENESQUE – Unraced filly by City Light, the dam won 1 race. Likely to improve for this debut run unless the betting market says otherwise
    Summary: HEROISTE (8) ran with plenty of promise when third at Parislongchamp in mid-October in a conditions race. She will step forward from that run and is given the verdict over ARCTIC BAY (9), who showed similar promise when second in a maiden at Clairefontaine late in October on her sole start. MIA LOT (3) has done well to be third on both runs so far and looks like a solid each-way option. MEHDALI (1) is another to consider after a good second in August at Clairefontaine.

    HEROISTE (8) – ARCTIC BAY (9) – MIA LOT (3) – MEHDALI (1)
    C2 – PRIX DE LA PORTE NADON – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 25,600
11. LE ROI RENE – Three unplaced runs of late, 9th in a handicap over 1600m at Deauville on August 28th last time out. He won in February and is capable of having a say
12. MONDO – Unplaced last time, 2nd previously over 2400m at Lyon Parilly on June 22nd in a Class 1 race. He might find a few of these too smart
13. STORMY DONALD – 5th in a Listed race when last seen in a Listed race on June 8th at Parislongchamp. He has been freshened up and will be fit and ready for his return to action
14. MONARCH OF THE SEA – 5th last time out in a Class 2 race at Saint-Cloud on September 19th over 3100m. He won in August over 2400m. Player
15. TULPAR – Placed 3rd last time over 1900m at Saarbrucken (DEU) in a conditions race on September 20th. Unlikely to be a threat
16. ARNAY LE DUC – Unplaced last time, a win previously over 2400m at Vichy on August 7th in a maiden race. Others hold stronger claims
17. AZORIAN – Placed on his last two runs, 3rd on the latter over 2000m at Parislongchamp on September 4th. Can make the top four
18. MARINALEDA – 5th on her last two runs since a win on her debut at this track in a maiden race on March 1st over 2200m. Ought to be thereabouts
19. GALENE – Unplaced last two runs in Pattern races, 2nd before that over 2100m in a Class 2 race at Chantilly on May 16th. Key chance
20. GOLDEN MAJESTY – Two unplaced runs of late, 11th at Clairefontaine on October 24th over 1600m in a handicap. Pass over
    Summary: GALENE (9) has been highly tried in Pattern races of late, and she will find this company more to her liking. She can get back on track at the expense of STORMY DONALD (3), who is a threat. He was fifth in a Listed race in June when last seen. Freshened up, he will be fit to go. LE ROI RENE (1) scored in the early part of the year at Cagnes-Sur-Mer and merits consideration each -way. MARINALEDA (8) is a course winner and is another to keep onside.

    GALENE (9) – STORMY DONALD (3) – LE ROI RENE (1) – MARINALEDA (8)
    C3 – PRIX DE VICHY – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 25,900
21. VIZIOSA – 7th last time at Chantilly in late September, 2nd before that over 1100m in a maiden at Deauville on August 26th. Handicap debut and warrants respect
22. ZERO STRESS – Won on her last run over 1100m in a maiden race at Le Croise-Laroche on October 17th. This will be more of a test
23. HOLLIE WOOD – Two unplaced runs of late, 6th on the latter over 1500m in a claimer at Deauville on October 22nd. Has work to do
24. SAIF AL LEITH – 6th on the last run in late October, 3rd before that over 1200m at Chantilly on September 25th in a handicap. Hard to rule out
25. LE BON DOCTEUR – Improved effort to be 4th at Chantilly on October 11th in a handicap over 1200m. One to look at each way
26. HORNIG – 5th last time over 1200m at Chantilly on October 11th in a handicap and 2nd before that over the same track and trip on September 25th. In the mix
27. AVEC DES SI – She scored over 1400m at Chantilly on the PSF on October 31st in a divided handicap last time. Placed on turf in September and has leading claims
28. VANINA RUNAWAY – Unplaced last time, two 2nd place runs before that, the latter over 1200m at Chantilly on October 11th in a handicap on turf. Player
29. MISTY CITY – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 1400m at Nancy in a claimer on October 12th. Others make more appeal
30. NEAR FLY – Placed on his last two runs, 2nd at Chantilly on October 31st over 1400m in a handicap last time on the PSF. Turf form has not been inspiring
31. MELKISEDEK – Three unplaced runs, well beaten over 1800m in a maiden race at Clairefontaine on October 21st. Looks of limited talent
    Summary: AVEC DES SI (7) won nicely at Chantilly on the PSF late in October in a divided handicap. She should handle both the drop in trip and the switch to turf, and she is the tentative choice. VIZIOSA (1) was placed on her first four starts and was not disgraced in a maiden event in September, so she rates as the main danger. VANINA RUNAWAY (8) is one to include in all place bet combinations, while LE BON DOCTEUR (5) is also worth consideration.

32. OLYMPIC GOAL – Unplaced last time, a win previously over 1850m at Parislongchamp on September 14th in a Class 1 handicap. One to consider
33. PRINCE DE MONTFORT – Placed 4th on his last run over 2000m at Parislongchamp on October 5th in a Class 1 handicap. One to keep onside
34. JUST JIM – Decent 4th at Le Mans on October 29th over 1950m in a Class 1 race last time out. Expected to be very competitive
35. GALORD – Placed 3rd over 1800m at Clairefontaine on October 24th in a Class 3 race. Can make his presence felt
36. AMERICAN GLORY – Unplaced last time, 3rd previously at Marseille Borely on September 27th in a Class 2 race. Ought to be thereabouts
37. CENTRICAL – 4th on the last run over 2200m at Clairefontaine on October 24th in a Class 3 handicap. Others rate higher
38. GERARD TER BORCH – Placed on the last three runs, 3rd at Clairefontaine in a handicap on the most recent over 2400m on October 21st. Hard to ignore
39. HAVIASSOR – Three wins this year, the latter of them two runs back over 2200m in a Class 3 handicap at Parislongchamp on September 14th. He could be in the grip of the handicapper
40. LE ROI LEON – Decent form recently, with a win at Saint-Cloud on the latest over 2000m in a handicap on October 9th. Enters calculations each way
41. ALATHEA – Unplaced last time, 2nd previously over 2300m at Angers on September 22nd in a Class 3 handicap. Unlikely to feature
42. PESTACLE – Ran well to be 3rd over 2100m at Marseille Borely in a Class 2 handicap on October 13th. More needed to trouble some of these
43. SEA THE AURORA – Two unplaced efforts since a win over 2400m at Wissembourg on June 9th in a maiden race. This might be challenging
44. TELCHERBOLINE – Back to form with a 2nd at Saint-Cloud over 2000m in a handicap on October 9th. One to look at each way
45. ZILRAK – Three unplaced efforts of late, the latter when below par over 2200m in a Class 3 handicap at Clairefontaine on October 24th. Others look better equipped
46. TREATWOOD – Three unplaced runs of late, 6th at Lyon Parilly in a Class 3 handicap on October 30th. He has to recapture his best form to be involved
47. CORTELLA – Fair 4th at Chantilly in a Class 3 race on October 28th over 1900m on the PSF last time out. She acts well on turf and can be competitive
    Summary: JUST JIM (3) could be the answer to this open handicap. He produced a pleasing effort when finishing fourth in a Class 1 race at Le Mans last month. GERARD TER BORCH (7) has been running consistently, with three placed efforts in recent starts. Usually ridden with patience, he should be finishing strongly once again. GALORD (4) has solid each-way claims after a good third at Clairefontaine in October in a Class 3 contest. TELCHERBOLINE (13) returned to form last time when finishing second at Saint-Cloud and deserves respect. CORTELLA (16) looks best of the remainder from the foot of the weights.

    C5 – PRIX DENISY – 3000m (a2m) – TURF – Listed – Flat – EUR € 47,600
48. BEL ET BIEN – Honest performer who won on his last run over 2800m in a Listed race on October 3rd at Saint-Cloud. Looks like a key player
49. MISTER GATZ – Two unplaced runs of late, well beaten in a Class 1 race at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on October 25th, on the latest. He needs to bounce back to form to be involved
50. COETZEE – 5th last time in the Prix Cadran ( Gr.1) on October 4th at Parislongchamp over 4000m. Can play a lead role
51. DURAJI – Fair 4th over 3300m in a Group 3 at the Curragh (IRL) on November 2nd. Capable of having a say in proceedings
52. LE LAVANDOU – Fair 2nd over 2500m in a Class 1 handicap at Parislongchamp on October 4th last time. This requires more in a strong race
53. VENUS OCEANE – 7th last time over 2500m in late October, a win before that over 3200m in a Class 2 handicap at Deauville on August 26th. Up in class and has work to do
54. AGILE – Four solid efforts off late, 4th on the latter over over 2800m at Saint-Cloud on October 26th in a Group 3 race. Dangerous to rule out
55. ENEA – Unplaced last time in October over 3000m, a win previously in a maiden race at Saint-Cloud over 2400m on September 2nd. Outside place chance
56. WALDNEBEL – Placed on his last two runs, 4th at Deauville on October 20th in a Listed race over 2500m when last seen. Ought to make the frame
57. WALLEAH – Ran well to be 3rd over 2500m in a Listed race at Deauville on October 20th. Lightly raced, and she has more improvement
58. QUEST FOR MAGIC – 4th last time, two wins before that, the latter of them over 3000m at Saint-Cloud in a handicap on September 2nd. Faces a stiff task in a competitive Listed event
    Summary: BEL ET BIEN (1) is an honest performer who scored in a Listed race at Saint-Cloud on his last outing in early October. He is marginally preferred ahead of COETZEE (3), who will find this a bit easier than the Prix Cadran (Gr.1), having finished fifth last time out in October. AGILE (7) has been performing well recently and can give another good account of herself. DURAJI (4) was placed in a Group 3 last time and looks best of the remainder.

59. GALLIUS – Unplaced last time, 2nd previously over 1200m in a handicap at Deauville on November 3rd. One to pay attention to
60. ZEOLAKIS – Recent success over 1100m at Chantilly in a Class 3 claimer on October 27th. Sure to give a good account of himself
61. KING ROBBE – Two unplaced runs since a win over 1200m at Chantilly on October 14th in a Class 3 handicap. Capable but not reliable
62. FORZA CAPITANO – Credible 4th over 1400m in a Class 4 race at Haras Du Pin on October 26th. Each way player if in similar form
63. IMPITOYABLE – Out of form with several unplaced runs, 7th in a claimer at Chantilly on October 27th over 1100m. Looks vulnerable
64. PERFECT PIC – 5th on the last start over 1300m in a Listed race at Munich-Riem (DEU) on October 25th. Consider each way
65. CULCOR – Unplaced on the one run this year over 1400m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on October 25th in a Class 1 race. Hard to recommend
66. CARLSTON – Out of form since a win over 2000m at Salon Provence in mid-April in a Class 3 handicap. Down in trip and others preferred
67. SCARFACE – Ran a good race to be 4th two runs back at Chantilly in a Class 2 handicap at Chantilly on October 14th over 1200m. Player
68. PRADARO – Four decent efforts of late, 2nd on the most recent over 1100m at Chantilly in a Class 3 claimer on October 27th. Live contender
69. MRS HOLIDAY – Two unplaced runs since a win in a Class 4 handicap on July 28th at Le Lion D’Angers over 1400m. Capable but she may be better over slightly further
    Summary: PRADARO (10) should have enough in hand to take this claiming event. He ran a good second at Chantilly late last month behind ZEOLAKIS (2) in a similar contest and had been in decent form before that. Although ZEOLAKIS (2) bounced back to form that day, the 2kg swing in the weights tilts the balance in favour of the former. SCARFACE (9), a solid fourth in a Class 2 handicap at Chantilly two runs back, is hard to overlook, while FORZA CAPITANO (4) completes the shortlist.

71. KEREMET – Out of form since a win over 1700m at Pornichet in a maiden race on March 26th. Needs to get back on track
72. EAGLE GATE – Three decent runs of late, 2nd on the latest over 1200m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on November 3rd. In form and hard to overlook
73. BONJOUR CA VA – Four unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1400m at Nancy on October 18th in a handicap. Faces a stiff task
74. TIM TOP – Two unplaced runs since a win over 1400m at Vichy on September 22nd in a handicap. Outside place chance
75. AWJ – Out of form with five unplaced runs, well beaten at Chantilly over 1400m on October 27th in a handicap. Unlikely to feature
76. NEW WAY BABY – Two wins of late, the latest over 1300m at Deauville on October 23rd in a handicap. The hat trick of wins is possible
77. ANAMALAY – Out of sorts of late with several unplaced runs, 8th at this track on November 3rd over 1600m in a handicap. Look elsewhere
78. AUDELADESETOILES – Three tame efforts since a 3rd over 1000m at Deauville on August 23rd in a handicap. Unlikely to be involved
79. KING RETURN – 8th last time on October 22nd, a win previously over 1100m in a maiden race at Dieppe on June 7th. Others rate higher
80. QUELLA – Two unplaced runs since a 4th over 1300m at Deauville on August 19th in a handicap. Hard to recommend
81. EYWA – Five unplaced runs of late, the latter when 7th at this track over 1200m in a Class 3 handicap. She has dropped to a good rating and warrants respect
82. WILD MOOR – Won on her last run over 1100m at Le Croise- Laroche on October 17th in a Class 4 handicap. Ought to be in the shake-up
83. LEGAL EAGLE – Placed on his last three runs, 2nd at Deauville over 1300m in a handicap on October 23rd. One to keep onside
84. CLEAN BOWLED – Placed on his last two runs, 2nd on the latter over 1200m at Chantilly on October 2nd in a handicap. Has a leading chance
85. FORZA BELLA – Has not troubled the judge in six runs, the latter over 1900m in a claimer at Deauville on October 23rd. Pass over
    Summary: EAGLE GATE (3) has been in good form recently. His solid effort to finish second over this track and trip in a Class 3 handicap 10 days ago was encouraging, and he gets the nod here. CLEAN BOWLED (15) has placed in his last two starts, most recently at Chantilly in early October, and looks a clear danger. WILD MOOR (13) scored at Le Croisé-Laroche in mid-October in a Class 4 handicap and should also be competitive. LEGAL EAGLE (14) looks the best of the remainder.

86. ARTISTIC MAN – Good operator, nice 2nd over 1600m in a handicap at this track on November 3rd. He is improving with race experience and can play a lead role
87. ANGEL WARRIOR – Three unplaced runs since a win over 1950m at Chateaubriant on June 25th in a maiden race. This might be difficult
88. SIMONS KING – Recent success over 1800m at Le Croise-Laroche on October 17th in a Class 4 handicap. One to pay attention to each way
89. SEPTIMUS – Recent win over 2000m at Saint-Cloud on October 16th in a Class 3 handicap. Among the leading contenders
90. PRINCESSE SAPHIR – Placed 2nd on her last run over 2500m in a Class 3 handicap at Saint-Cloud on October 26th. Others are more persuasive from a win point of view
91. FOXEY LADY – Two decent runs of late, 4th on the latter over 2000m at Saint-Cloud on October 16th in a Class 3 handicap. One for the shortlist
92. STEADY SUCCESS – Placed on his last three runs, 3rd on the latter over 2000m at Strasbourg on October 5th. Can be on the premises
93. TOKYO DREAMER – 5th on her last run, 2nd before that over 2000m at Saint-Cloud on September 19th in a Class 3 handicap. In the mix
94. HUMAN EVOLUTION – Three unplaced runs of late, well beaten over 1900m at Deauville in a Class 3 handicap on October 20th. Looks vulnerable

98. PURPLE MOOD – Placed on his last two runs, 3rd at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap on October 16th. Hard to rule out
99. ASTON JUAN – Unplaced last time, a win previously over 1600m in a handicap at Saint-Cloud on September 12th. Not the most reliable
100. WHAT DO YOU SAY – Several unplaced runs, 7th in a Class 3 race at Clairefontaine on October 24th, on the latest. Seems out of sorts and is best left alone
     Summary: ARTISTIC MAN (1) heads the handicap after several placed runs, his latest when second at this track 10 days ago in a handicap over 1600m. He finds it hard not to be involved and can get the better of FOXEY LADY (6), who won two runs back in September at Parislongchap and was a decent fourth at Saint-Cloud in mid-October last time. PURPLE MOOD (13) has a good racing weight and can be involved at the finish. SEPTIMUS (4) looks best of the remainder.

C1 – PRIX ALFRED SAINT-PALAIS – 2000m (a1m1/4) – ALL WEATHER – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 20,100

1. EUGENE SMITH – Returned to form and was runner-up in a Conditions race over this track and trip on 22 October. Can go one better this time
2. AGADOR – Very consistent and finished third in a Conditions race over this course and distance on 22 October. Should be right there at the finish
3. INDIAN STREAK – Did not show his best when 8th in a Conditions race at Toulouse over 2000m on 17 September. Capable of better and could make the frame
4. THUNDERING – Has struggled of late and was 9th in a Conditions race at Madrid over 2400m on 19 October. Others make more appeal
5. TOIMY SON – Has some fair form of late and was 5th in a Conditions race over this track on 22 October. Has a place chance in this line-up
6. GRECIAN RULER – Has struggled of late and finished 13th in a handicap at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 1900m on 25 October. Needs to find a few lengths to win.
7. EUSKADI – Has only been moderate of late and finished 8th in a Conditions race at Tarbes over 2100m on 12 October. Capable of improvement and could be competitive
   Summary: EUGENE SMITH (1) finished strongly when ahead of rival AGADOR (2) over this track and trip last month. They should fight out the finish once again. That was a return to form for EUGENE SMITH (1), and he can go one better this time. AGADOR (2) is usually very competitive and will not go down easily. INDIAN STREAK (3) tackles older rivals this time but is better than his last run suggests. EUSKADI (7) is also capable of improvement and is another to consider.

16. KISSAURA STAR – Has struggled of late and was 6th in a Conditions race at Aurillac over 2000m on 20 July. Needs major improvement to win
    Summary: A competitive race. ALSAFINAT (4) put in a solid performance when third in a Listed race last time out and sets the standard here, so gets the vote to score. SAWARIM (6) was a good winner at Tarbes, and it would be no surprise if he followed up. ALREEM (1) is not as reliable as some of his rivals, but he has competed in stronger fields than this and should contest the finish. BADDAR (8) is holding his form well and can make the frame again.

27. ANDUGAL – Did not show his best when 7th in a Conditions race at La Teste-de-Buch over 1800m on 5 August. Did better on debut and can bounce back to score
28. MADRIDISTA – A two-year-old colt by Toronado out of Victhur, making his debut. His dam won once in seven starts (1500m)
    Summary: ANDUGAL (11) is best judged on his good debut. He was a disappointment last time out but can bounce back to beat these rivals. GRASWANG (5) has run well in both his starts and should fight out the finish again. The same could also be said of HERCULE STAR (4). PACTIMACE (3) clearly needed the debut run and should show marked improvement over this longer distance and on the PSF. A good, competitive race.

39. BELLA CRACK – Has not shown much so far and finished 7th in a Conditions race at Marseille-Vivaux over 2000m on 8 October. More is needed to beat these rivals
40. EAGLE SPEED – Has only been modest of late and finished 5th in a Conditions race over this course and distance on 22 October. Might play a minor role
41. SCHIZZO – Has struggled so far and was 7th in a Conditions race at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 1600m on 4 November. Needs to find a few lengths to win
    Summary: ADICTA (9) is threatening to win a race after some nice opening runs. She tries the PSF for the first time but is the one to beat. CARCAGNY (2) has already performed well on this surface and should be a real threat. She makes a long trip for this race, so must be respected for that. FANCY (3) is improving and ran well over this course and distance last month, so should be very competitive. RISING WATER (10) can improve over this longer distance and will have blinkers fitted.

    Summary: GOOD’ID (4) has been holding her form well and was runner-up over this track and trip just last month. She might be rewarded for that consistency with a winning turn. ZASTER FOR ALL (12) is in good form, coming off a solid run, and will not go down without a fight for top honours. DO IT FOR ME (13) is not reliable but is capable of getting involved in the finish again. BALEGRIO (1) enjoys this track and is another who can shine on the day.

LADY PINK (16) showed improvement at this venue last time out and can be a threat once again. BLOOD DIAMOND (12) has struggled of late but could bounce back to form off such a low rating. AZUR AS WELL (1) is clearly unreliable but could make the frame.

    Summary: A very open-looking race. DARABJIR (6) has been at his best on the grass this year. He returns from a short break and could score again. NORDESTE (2) has struggled of late, but those runs came in stronger races, and he can be a lively danger. FAMOSO (8) has shown enough recently to have claims in a race of this nature. QUARTIER MAITRE (5) has been doing well at Dax lately but will need to prove himself at this track.

     Summary: NOARDS (3) returns from a break but has shown promise. He did not show his best last time out after some really good runs and can win this lucky last race. OJIBWE (16) contested some decent races in her first two starts and could be a threat returning from a break. GARE AU GORILLE (5) ran well over this course and distance last month and looks fit and ready for another good performance. YA TE VALE (4) should also be very competitive in this line-up.

C1 – PRIX DE THORIGNY – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 35,000

1. MILADY DE LA PIECE – Imposed on debut but eliminated in next 3. Starts for the first time since June and is unlikely to spice things up
2. MAGIE D’ERABLE – Ran 3rd at Saint-Brieuc before opening her account in a Maure-de-Bretagne Class F on 25 October. In better company this time but has earned the right to step up in category and can play a small role
3. MAMZELLE DREAM – Makes main-track debut after running 7th of 11 behind MILKA DES THUYAS (9) at Cabourg on 25 October and appears to be out of her depth
4. MA AM CHENU – Eliminated in last 2, most recently in the early stages of a 2200m Class E here early this month. Top driver at the helm this time and will be dangerous if she gets off on the right foot
5. MAMMA PAULO – Faithful element returning to France after running lacklustre 3rd of 5 over 2350m in Avenches and cannot be considered a player
6. MIA DE SIMM – Got that maiden monkey of her back when stylishly winning a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on 2 October. Choice of driver speaks volumes and a repeat is not out of the question
7. MAKINA DANICA – Moderate mare starting for the first time since disappointing at Enghien in June. Has never delivered over the main track and is not about to start now
8. MYSTIC DES FORGES – Should not be too hastily condemned for being eliminated over the inner track here last week. Showed her form though and Paul Ploquin will be out to set the record straight
9. MILKA DES THUYAS – Made up for Enghien performance when 3rd in a Cabourg Class E on 25 October. Has already won this autumn and will be expected to finish in the mix
10. MELIA BARBES – Won 2 in a row before being sent for a summer holiday. Will have come on for her Caen re-entry run and must not be overlooked. First 5
11. MI FA SOL – Left a better impression in Enghien comeback than the result would suggest and should have this in the bag provided she keeps trotting
12. MOUSTACHE – Showed promise last season but put away after a pair of below-par efforts during the summer and returns to competition with nothing to contribute
    Summary: Given a rest after winning 2 for 2 earlier in the year, the talented MI FA SOL (11) was eliminated on re-entry but has had time to recalibrate and on good behaviour can add another win to her tally. Eliminated in her last two, MA AM CHENU (4) will be reunited with Mathieu Mottier who ran 2nd with her at Caen during the spring and will be excepted to begin the redemption procedure. MIA DE SIMM (6) got off the mark at Le Mont-Saint-Michel earlier in the month and with Alexandre Abrivard at the helm this time is not to be underestimated. MYSTIC DES FORGES (8) has not been behaving lately but is patently in fine shape and can finish in the mix if she keeps her action together.

13. MY DREAM – Ran promising 7th of 16 behind MENTOR DE PLAY (12) in a 2100m Class C here in early-October. Has 2 conditioners under his belt since the summer break and looks considerably more dangerous this time around
14. MARQUIS DU CHENE – Well-regarded colt starting for first time since running 3rd to MAGIC CASH (13) under these conditions on 23 September, but still has a lot of ground to make up
15. MINUTY DU GERS – Comfortably won a Class E under these conditions in September before finishing last but one in a Class B over shorter on 7 November. Is clearly a colt with a bright future and will be expected to contest the finish
16. MYSTIC DE REUX – Put away in August after completing the hat-trick, dominating a Class D over track and trip. Was given an easy re-entry at Nantes and with application can make this his own
17. MISTER PARKER – Useful colt that has produced some fine performances this year but has yet to show much liking for Vincennes and others easier to back
18. MILORD DE BUY – Showed tenacity to run close 2nd of 15 in a Class D over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Takes on a better bunch this time but should nevertheless hold his own
19. MISTER YELLOW – In the frame in last 2 but has not been seen out since August and is going to need the race
20. MEGINO – Missed out by little to MAGIC CASH (13) here in late-September but could manage only 6th of 15, a place behind MAJOR MESLOIS (11), in a 2850m Class C, also here, on 21 October. Has ample ability and cannot be ruled out
21. MOURILLON – Given a rest after completing the hat-trick across town in July. Mottier’s returning horses are seldom in need of a run and he should prove competitive at the business end of the race
22. MAGIC INSTINCT – Eliminated on re-entry in a 2850m Laval Class B on 1 October. Showed his form that day nevertheless and on good behaviour will not be far from the truth
23. MAJOR MESLOIS – Won an Enghien claimer before coming 5th of 15 in a Class C over the short course here on 21 October, and can expect to find this a much stiffer test
24. MENTOR DE PLAY – Capable on a good day but out of the picture in last 2 and has a lot more to find
25. MAGIC CASH – Confirmed his Meslay victory when courageously winning a Class D over track and trip in late-September. Returns with freshness on his side and will be no pushover
26. MUST DE CHANLECY – Good dual-discipline type taking first harness steps at Vincennes following an unexceptional monte Class B performance here mid-October, and even with Eric Raffin reining is unlikely to create an upset
27. MELKIOR CASTELLE – Put a trio of eliminations behind him to finish an unlucky 2nd of 13 in an Argentan Class A early this month. Steps up in category though and other more trustworthy options available
    Summary: A number of good horses lining up here but few more so than Thierry Duvaldestin’s MYSTIC DE REUX (4) who has already made his mark under these conditions. With a race under his belt following the break, he returns to the capital with a realistic chance of imposing. Opposition will be led by MINUTY DU GERS (3) who returns to a more suitable trip after failing to deliver in a Class B here last week, and MY DREAM (1) who ran better last time than the result would suggest. New to the venue, MAGIC INSTINCT (10) was eliminated on his return from the summer break but has shown significant promise and with application can go far.

29. LOOK QALI – Useful colt but has not been seen out since running 5th in a2700m Class D here in May and is going to need the race
30. LE VOILA SAUTONNE – Got back in the winners’ enclosure early this month when courageously staying on to win a 2825m Chartres Class E on 3 November, his first start for the Sassier yard, and Eric Raffin will be eyeing the double
31. LOOKING D’AURCY – Tricky but talented individual with 3 return runs in him after a lengthy absence. Has no references under these conditions but has ample ability and winning this would be no surprise
32. LEVEL ONE SYGA – Serious type making first appearance since running 2nd of 11 in a 2700m Class E here in late-August. Has not been seen since and even with front shoes fitted can make his presence felt
33. LOYAL DU CHOQUEL – Good, consistent sort that pleased on his lone start here. Has demonstrated fine versatility, goes well for Benjamin Rochard, and looks competitively well in
34. LUCKY LOVE – Was clearly going well when eliminated in a 2100m Class E here on 3 November. Gets a 2nd crack at racing barefoot and, if applied, can get in on the action
35. LIKE MESLOIS – Surprising 6th of 16 on re-entry in a 2200m Caen class D a month ago. Has had time to get back in shape, has never disappointed when barefoot, and should again figure prominently
36. LE CHEF – Pleased in Enghien re-entry before running 4th in a Caen Class D a month ago. Faces a tougher challenge this time and others preferred
37. LOULOU DAB – Quality element with a brace of return runs in him after 7 months off. Has been specifically prepared for this and may just be the horse to beat
38. LOIR ET CHER – 3rd over course and distance in late-September before being eliminated in next 2. Has evident ability but others easier to back this time around
    Summary: A serious sort for the most part, and well-engaged here, LOULOU DAB (10) has a pair of conditioners under his belt since the lengthy layoff and, shod to preference, looks a serious proposition. Damien Bonne will be justifiably wary though of a first-time barefoot LOOKING D’AURCY (4) who will be fully-fit by now, and LOYAL DU CHOQUEL (6) who has been climbing the category-ladder in good order. LE VOILA SAUTONNE (3) opened his autumn account at Chartres 10 days ago and Eric Raffin stays faithful.

41. JUST FOR BACK – Back racing left-handed after running 2nd in a Caen Class B 3.5 weeks ago. Seldom lets the side down with Eric Raffin aboard and can again make the frame
42. ILTON ROYAL – Unexceptional 4th of 8 in a Laval Class A early this month. Presents decent monte credentials but at this level will struggle to make his mark
43. HEURISTIQUE – Like a horse reborn last winter and went into her layoff on a hat-trick. Has a conditioner under her belt and will be no easy touch
44. HERADAMES – Sent for a spell after imposing at Cabourg in July. Pleasant 5th under harness here on comeback, will have come on for the run, and will be competitive for a first-5 cheque
45. JAZZ IN MONTREUX – 7 times a winner in last 13 ridden starts. Goes particularly well over 2850m on the main track and looks main danger to EROS ZOLA (8)
46. EROS ZOLA – Back under the saddle after after running close 2nd in a harness Class C over course and distance on 17 October. Alexandre Abrivard back in the irons and it will take a good horse to beat him
47. GAZELLE DE VAL – Serious mare that has won 2 of 3 under these conditions, including a Gr.2 last winter. Has 3 runs in her since the break and Mathieu Mottier will be justifiably confident of finishing in the money
48. GOOD GIRL MARCEAUX – Wonderfully-engaged here but has made few waves over recent weeks and can be passed over
    Summary: Unbeaten in 2 starts under the saddle, EROS ZOLA (8) returns to the code in excellent shape and will have a strong claim on the spoils. Alexandre Abrivard will still be mindful of the terrifically performant JAZZ IN MONTREUX (7) who seldom disappoints, and Gr.2-winning HEURISTIQUE (5) who will be competitively-shod following her comeback run under harness. JUST FOR BACK (3) has been knocking at the door over recent months, thrives with Eric Raffin, and will not be far off the mark.

52. JOYCE DE COSSE – Imposed at Castelsarrasin on 19 October before finishing 10th of 13 finishers at Le Mont-Saint-Michel a fortnight later and would be preferred unshod-behind
53. JAVA DES BERTHES – 2nd of 11 in a Salon-de-Provence amateurs Class G 2.5 weeks ago but has little going for her here
54. JUTLAND – Excellent during the summer when fitted with pads and most recently given a 2825m conditioner going left-handed. Shoes off this time and must be considered a player
55. JEZABELLE BEZILLAT – Made up for monte elimination when 2nd of 16 in a 2700m Class F at Lyon-La Soie on 1 November. Has no particular liking for Vincennes but in present form is still worth monitoring
56. JEUNE ORANGE COTON – Never far from losing her action but has shown improvement since moving to Antonin Andre’s stable and with application will take all the beating
57. JADE DU DAN – Given an easy re-entry run at Graignes 2 weeks ago. Goes barefoot on maiden Vincennes start and will be no easy touch if she stays in stride
58. JACOVIA MADRIK – Has done nothing but improve lately, most recently 5th of 14 in a Reims Class E on Monday. 2700m at Vincennes not always her cup of tea but on current trajectory must be considered a solid first-5 candidate
59. JALNA GIRL – Form has regressed since the summer break and will need to show significant improvement on recent effort behind JAHINA VITA (13) at Machecoul
60. JICKY GIRL – Reunited with Theo Raffin after an encouraging run behind JINA DE L’ORMERIE (14) at Cabourg. Is not about to get her nose in front but is not incapable of springing a small surprise either
61. JAHINA VITA – Left a good impression when 3rd of 15 in a 2700m Machecoul Class F on 19 October. Sent out similarly-configured and enjoys a realistic chance of finishing close
62. JINA DE L’ORMERIE – Has shown signs of improvement recently, latterly pleasant 5th in a Cabourg Class E on 25 October. Is not about to shake things up but is well-engaged and unlikely to be going home empty-handed
    Summary: Complicated she may be but JEUNE ORANGE COTON (8) has turned a corner since moving yards, returns to racing barefoot, and will be the horse to beat provided Hugo Baumer keeps her trotting. He will still be keeping a watchful eye on the erratic but capable JADE DU DAN (9) who runs barefoot following a much-needed comeback run, and JAHINA VITA (13) who got back in the game at Machecoul. Barefoot after a Croise-Laroche freshener, JUTLAND (6) makes her Vincennes bow with a good hand to play.

63. NAOMIE FAMILY – Quickly sanctioned on career bow in a 2200m Class D here late last month and will have her work cut out
64. NOVA DU FER – Lost her action on debut in a 2150m Enghien Class C 2.5 weeks ago and is unlikely to spring any surprises
65. NEW LIFE – Defied her 87-1 price to come 5th to NOSTRA COSA (12) at Cabourg 3 weeks ago. Has ground to make up but is by no means out of the equation
66. NO ONE – Well-related type that ran 3rd of 12 at Les Andelys a month ago, first time out. Takes on a superior lot this time but will have come on for the run and looks a respectable first-5 chance
67. NEBULA DANICA – Unremarkable in qualification and although 5th of 10 on debut at Enghien 2.5 weeks ago, she still has more to find
68. NACHYMA BERRY – Defied her unexceptional qualification to run 2nd of 12 in a 2650m Alencon Class F 3.5 weeks ago. Is not about to cause an upset but was beaten only by a good horse that day and must be afforded respect
69. NEPTUNE DES ARRIS – Gives a good account for the most part but only 5th of 7 finishers in a 2200m Class D here 2 weeks ago, and looks a minor place chance at best
70. NUANCE CASTELETS – Excellent 3rd at Cabourg mid-October but failed to confirm when last but one behind NEPTUNE DES ARRIS (7) over 2200m here late last month, and is unlikely to make many waves
71. NATIVE DE PLAY – Unable to confirm good Bernay performance when eliminated in a 2450m Caen Class D on 19 October and will have few takers
72. NUIT DE STAR – Left a good impression when 2nd of 9 finishers to NOSTRA COSA (12) over 2050m at Cabourg, and can again finish in the frame
73. NO LIMIT DELO – Confirmed good qualification when victorious in a Reims Class E on 19 October, at the first time of asking. Hails from a yard firing on all cylinders and her logical place is on the podium
74. NOSTRA COSA – Blue-blooded filly that made short work of her 2050m Cabourg debut on 23 October. Will appreciate the inner-track profile and can keep her unbeaten record intact
75. NINON DREAM – Respectable filly making Vincennes debut after finishing flattering 4th of 11 in a 2450m Caen Class D on 19 October, and will struggle to make her presence felt
76. NOELA JOSSELYN – Lost all chance early over 2200m here a fortnight back. Is plainly a talented filly though and can play a prominent role if she gets off on the right foot
77. NORMA JEANE – Modest individual that ran 7th of 8 behind NINON DREAM (13) in a 2150m Enghien Class C early last month and appears to be out of her depth
    Summary: Beautifully-bred and comfortable winner on debut at Cabourg 3 weeks ago, NOSTRA COSA (12) looks a serious filly in the making and can expect the lion’s share of support. That being said, NOELA JOSSELYN (14) has shown significant potential and will have her chances if Nicolas Bazire keeps her focused. NO LIMIT DELO (11) was a thorough professional first time out and Benjamin Rochard will have his sights set on the double. NUIT DE STAR (10) finished runner-up to the Philippe Allaire-trained filly recently, will have progressed for the race, and must be taken seriously.

78. LITTLE BLACK MO – A difficult horse at the best of times, but is not without merit. Benjamin Rochard drafted in for the occasion and will have his supporters
79. KERGOMAR SIBEY – Unthreatening 7th of 15 in a 2875m claimer here a month back. Has placed just once in 9 claiming starts and can be passed over
80. KAMELIA VIVANCIERE – Showed signs of improvement when 6th of 13 in a Reims Class F on Monday. Races barefoot, with Mathieu Mottier in the bike this time, but others still preferred
81. KNOX JENILOU – Useful on a good day but has been out of the picture for some time and will need to show marked improvement on recent return run
82. KALYPSIA BOND – Pleasantly surprising 3rd of 10 finishers in a Carpentras Class F early last month, but in this company has no realistic chance
83. LANNISTER D’AVRIL – 3rd over 2100m over the long course on 23 September, but disappointing 6th behind KERGOMAR SIBEY (2) at Enghien a fortnight later, and is not a concern
84. KOKA DU DOUET – Won an Enghien claimer in September but failed to confirm over the main track a month ago. Is no slouch though and while unlikely to win this, can nonetheless challenge for a spot in first 5
85. KAI LA SHA – Returns to the Vincennes inner track after a modest run across town. Takes on a less-exalted bunch this time and will be competitive for a place on the podium
86. LEADER DU POMMEAU – Has been enjoying a decent run of form, most recently 3rd under these conditions on 28 October. David Thomain in the bike this time and has every chance of finishing in the frame
87. KIRA DE CAHOT – Good 3rd of 16 in a 2150m Enghien Class E on 18 October but has been fitted with pads this time and cannot be considered a player
88. KADO DES MOLLES – Pleased more than once during the summer but trounced in last 2. Reverts to racing barefoot and has a respectable chance of getting a look in
89. LE JIBAY – Previously a good sort but has done nothing of note since June 2024 and will have few friends in the markets
90. KLARCK DE VANDEL – Not as sharp this term as he was earlier in the year. Takes a notable dip in class, has form over the distance, and can start to make amends
91. KALIKA DU RIS – Disappointing on the whole during the autumn. Has no particular love for the short track and can be ruled out
92. KEOPS TILLAYE – Unlucky 8th of 15 in a 2700m Class E here a week ago. Finished like a train once a gap opened up and, if kept out of harm’s way, can impose this time
93. KROSS FINGERS – Blows hot and cold but can trot when applied. Has already won at this level and the inner track should suit him to a tee. Claim
    Summary: Even though eliminated in his last 2 starts, KROSS FINGERS (16) has nonetheless shown his form; he has nothing to prove in the claiming category and can wrap this up if Alexandre Bodin assures his charge’s initial strides. KERGOMAR SIBEY (2) was not the most fortunate over the main track last week and Matthieu Abrivard will be keen to set the record straight. Seldom far from the action when focused, LEADER DU POMMEAU (9) ran 3rd under these conditions late last month and is easy to recommend. Third on his only start over course and distance, KAI LA SHA (8) drops down the category-ladder and should prove markedly more competitive.

94. MADONETTE – Quickly eliminated but nevertheless showed her form in a Laval Class F on debut in late-September. Has been afforded time to get her house in order and can impose if Mathieu Mottier keeps her mind on the game
95. MARCH OF THE QUEEN – Has yet to demonstrate any particular flair for either discipline and can expect to have few takers
96. MITTY D’ARELINE – Back under the saddle after some poor harness performances and appears to have no possible chance
97. MARIANNE DE BAILLY – 5th of 12 behind MADISON MONNERIE (10) on ridden bow over the main course here 10 days ago, but still has significant ground to make up
98. MINILADY DE CHOC – Got off the monte mark when winning a Cherbourg Class F by a country mile early this month. Faces a tougher challenge this time but can still pick up some prizemoney
99. MYRIADE D’ORION – Has not been seen out since faulting on monte debut at Enghien last August and will not be troubling the judge
100. MIRMANDE DEL PHEDO – Winner at Agon first time under the saddle, and latterly gave a good account at Cabourg. Still has bags of potential and is unlikely to let the side down. Place chance
101. MAYOTTE – Eliminated as often as not, latterly over course and distance in late-September. Is patently capable when focused and should not be overlooked
102. MALLAURY D’AVEL – Has been acquitting herself well since the summer break, latterly fine 2nd in a 2750m Cabourg Class E just under 3 weeks ago, and Paul Ploquin will be determined to go one better
103. MADISON MONNERIE – Not always sure of stride but left a good impression over the main track here 10 days ago and if given the chance should be able to get off the mark
     Summary: Even though never far from faulting, MADISON MONNERIE (10) is plainly close to her race and can finally get off the mark if Benjamin Rochard keeps her focused. MADONETTE (1) left a very good impression on her debut in late-September despite losing her action, under Rochard, but Mathieu Mottier will be keen to prove a point. In the frame in 3 of her last 4 starts, MALLAURY D’AVEL (9) is confirmed under these conditions and is easy to like for a place on the podium. MIRMANDE DEL PHEDO (7) finished a place behind her late last month and returns to racing left-handed with a lot to contribute.

2. MOETE DE BELFOND – Did not show her best when 8th in class E at Biarritz over 2150m on 8 July. Capable of better but should need this run returning from a break
3. MANZANA TIME – Disqualified in class E at Graignes over 2700m on 30 October. Not easy to trust but is capable of contesting the finish

14. MONA DU FER – Has some fair form and finished fourth in class E at Ecommoy over 2750m on 14 September. Needs to do a bit more to beat these rivals
    Summary: MOON NORMANDY (4) has a couple of disqualifications behind her but has shown some good recent form and should make a bold bid to take out this opening event. MARGE DES GRANGES (9) has been unreliable but did win over this course and distance last time out and could follow up if in the same mood. MISS SMART (11) returns from a break but showed promise in her first two starts. MAGIC ALOUETTE (5) is unbeaten in two starts but faces tougher opposition this time around.

MODEL DE JOUX (8) showed improvement at La Capelle earlier this month and can get involved in the finish again. MYSTERE DES ARRIS (14) is holding her form well and can challenge for top honours this time around. MEDOC PIERJI (4) has won going right-handed before, so could also be a threat in this line-up.

LUCKY STAR JIEL (3) is very hard to trust and has the disqualification record to prove it, but she can be a real threat when in the right frame of mind. LEELY DE BLARY (11) is coming off a good win at Graignes and could score again. LUCIA DU CHATELET (4) has major disqualification issues but is another that has the ability to win.

GOELAND DE JANZE (7) has a difficult starting position but is capable of winning if he stays in stride. IENA D’ORGERES (9) is best judged on her good form prior to the recent disqualification.

JOYEUX DU VIVIEN (7) has been a bit unlucky not to win either of his last two starts and can go one better this time. JAYZI DU BOURG (11) showed improvement when scoring and is quite capable of following up if in the same frame of mind
