    Summary: SECRET D’ETAT (1) is a former Listed hurdle winner at this track in 2023, who made a winning return after over two years off when he scored at Durtal in a Class 3 chase on November 1st. He is capable of following up. KIND LOVELY (3) is a live danger. She won at Lyon Parilly in September and has solid course form at this track. KLOTH OF UTOPIA (5) ran with credit on his first try over fences last month and can not be ignored. COLWINSTON (6) is a course winner over fences and heads the rest.

  9. HOLY GREY – Showed plenty when 2nd over 3600m over hurdles at this track on her only start on October 12th. Open to progress and is one to consider each-way
  10. SUGARBOO – She won on her sole run over 3600m at Saint-Brieuc on October 26th in a Class 4 hurdle. This requires a good deal of progress to make the frame
  11. KELLE KIFF – Placed 3rd on the one run so far over 3600m at this track on October 12th over hurdles. Has work to do in a strong race

  15. LIGNE BLANCHE – Two unplaced runs, 5th over 3500m at Auteuil on November 5th in a Class 2 hurdle. Others rate higher
    Summary: MAMALAND (6) ran a promising race on her debut at Clairefontaine in late August when finishing a close fifth. That race has worked out well with the winner Hell Storm finishing fourth in a Grade 3 and Grade 2 hurdle since. She is marginally preferred ahead of HAWAI DE BAUNE (1), who shaped well when second at this track on November 5th in a Class 2 hurdle. MATOUDY (2) was a narrow margin behind in third and can feature. NOS PREFERENCES (8) is also worth considering.

    Summary: KOBE DE LA BRUNIE AA (2) has won his last two races, his penultimate in April and the latter in mid-October at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 1 chase with a game effort when beating ISISDELAGARDE AA (1) into second. On slightly better terms, the latter can make things competitive. LIZZANO AA (3) ran well at Dax when second in September and can duel for minor honours with INDIA DE CANDALE AA (4), who finished behind the selection at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in October.

  22. KILL PASS – Two wins so far, one on the flat and the most recent over 3400m over hurdles at Compiegne on October 20th by 8 lengths. Looks like a smart operator and can win again

  24. SEA LINER – Recent success on November 2nd in a Class 3 hurdle over 3400m at Angers. Looks promising and is one to keep safe
  25. SANGRE DE DRAGO – Flat winner who was 5th on his hurdling debut in a Class 2 hurdle at this track over 3500m on October 29th on his sole start over hurdles. Opposable

  27. MATTHEW – Unplaced on the sole run over hurdles at this track on October 18th over 3600m. Showed promise on debut and is related to classy Kingland. Consider each way
  28. HARBOUEY – Unraced gelding by Masked Marvel, the dam never raced. From a respected stable that can ready a newcomer. Monitor the betting for guidance
  29. DALLA MIX THEYSS – Two unplaced runs, 5th on the most recent over 3600m at Argentan on November 9th in a Class 4 hurdle. Faces a stiff task

  31. OSANI – Finished 8th on the one run over 3000m at this track over hurdles on May 8th. Hard to be enthusiastic about
  32. KITTEN BOLD – Ran well when 4th on his only start at Compiegne over 3400m in a hurdle race on October 20th. Open to improvement and warrants respect
  33. OUNO DE L’ABBAYE – Placed on both starts, 2nd on the latter over 3600m in a Class 4 hurdle at Saint-Brieuc on October 26th. Look elsewhere
  34. MURRAYFIELD PARK – Two unplaced runs over hurdles, he failed to finish over 3550m in a Class 4 hurdle at Fontainebleau on October 28th. Pass over
    Summary: The hat-trick of wins looks likely for the promising KILL PASS (1), who made light work of his rivals when scoring at Compiegne in late October by eight lengths. His main rival could be PRINCE D’EGYPTE (2), who has been placed on both starts and a win is not far away. MATTHEW (6) showed promise on his sole start over hurdles and can improve and make the top three. SEA LINER (3) scored at Angers over hurdles 21 days ago and should have a say in proceedings.

  35. JERIKO BOULOISE – Placed 3rd on his last run over 4400m at this track in a Class 2 chase on November 5th. Ought to be in the shake-up
  36. KAPPA D’ESTRUVAL – Four good runs this year, 2nd on the most recent over 4400m at this track in a Class 2 chase on November 5th. Leading chance
  37. JOYFULL – Has been out of form, 5th on the last run over 4400m at Auteuil in a Class 2 chase on November 5th. Unreliable and best watched
  38. KAYO COCO – Nice win by 5L over fences at Fontainebleau over 4400m in a Class 3 race on October 28th. Can be involved at the finish
  39. JOLIDEE – Non partante

  43. KELIBIA – Three honest runs of late, 4th on the latter over 4400m at Auteuil in a Class 2 chase on November 5th. She needs a few to misfire
    Summary: KAPPA D’ESTRUVAL (2) has been in good shape this year which followed his improvement in 2024. His second at this track in a Class 2 chase earlier this month was another consistent effort. He can edge this over KAYO COCO (4), who won at Fontainebleau on October 28th over fences on his last outing. KATOVICE (7) looks like a sensible option for the each-way players to latch on to. JERIKO BOULOISE (1) makes up the shortlist.

  46. FAMILY SPEED – 6th last time, a win previously over 3600m in a Listed hurdle at this track on September 23rd. Ought to give a good account of herself
  47. LUZERAISE – Two unplaced efforts of late, a win before that over 3600m at Clairefontaine on June 17th in a Class 1. Each way angle
  48. VOL D’ARGENT – Placed 2nd over 3600m on October 29th in a Listed hurdle at this track last time out, and solid track form previously. Player
  49. ANATOLE – Recent success over 3600m at Compiegne on October 20th in a Class 3 hurdle. More is needed in a much stronger race
  50. LE ROI LOTH – He scored over 3600m at this track in a handicap hurdle on October 29th on his latest start. One to keep onside

  52. PARISIENNE BLEUE – Fair 5th in a Listed hurdle over 3600m at this track on October 23rd when last seen. This might be too much of a challenge
  53. MON PETIT PRINCE – Placed 2nd on both runs this year, the latter over 3600m in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil on April 15th. Has fitness to prove , but remains capable
  54. HIGHBOURNEDYNAMITE – Three unplaced runs since a 3rd over 3600m in a Class 2 hurdle in April at Compiegne. Not seen since July when beaten in a handicap hurdle. Hard to fancy

  56. LUDMIKO – Two nice efforts of late, a win at Fontainebleau in early October and a 2nd at this track on October 23rd over 3600m in a Class 2 hurdle. This requires more
  57. LILETTE – Placed 3rd on her most recent start over 3600m in a Listed hurdle at this track on October 29th. Capable of a leading role
  58. SOME OF THEM – Two unplaced efforts of late, 6th at this track over 3600m in a Listed hurdle on October 29th on his last run. He might find this difficult
  59. TOUZ THE CROWN – Placed 3rd on the last two runs, both over fences, with the latest over 3600m at Lignieres in a handicap chase on November 1st. Avoidable
    Summary: VOL D’ARGENT (5) ran a solid race when second in a Listed hurdle over 3600m at this track late in October and seems to be improving. He has solid form at this track previously and can get the better of LILETTE (14), who won on debut and has performed well at this track on her two recent starts. She was third behind the selection when they met late last month. LEGEND DU LEMO (2) got off the mark in a Class 2 hurdle at this track in October and is hard to rule out. LUZERAISE (4) is one to look at each way, as is LOUBA (8), who can be involved at the finish.

  68. WEBCAM – Fair effort when 5th over 3500m at Auteuil in a Class 2 chase on October 29th. Capable of being competitive
    Summary: GOLIADOR (2) won nicely on his last start at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 2 chase with a game success. He looks capable of getting the better of WEBCAM (9), who shaped well to be fifth in a Class 2 chase at this track late in October. ROYAL LOUIS HAS (6) is also worth considering after two placed efforts recently, the latest at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 2 chase. LEBANDACARL (4) is a capable operator and should not be ruled out of the frame.

  71. SAIL ON – 9th in a handicap hurdle on October 29th at this track over 3600m on his last run. Pass over
  72. REMEMBER CALI – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 3600m at Strasbourg on September 29th in a Class 2 hurdle. Opposable
  73. ROYAL MACAN – 7th on the last run over this track in October, a win before that over 3800m at Moulins on March 22nd in a Class 3 chase. Hard to recommend
  74. ROI DU REVE – Placed 2nd on the last two runs, the most recent over 3600m at Auteuil in a handicap hurdle on October 29th. Top-three chance
  75. COCOTTE ROYALE – Placed 3rd last over 3700m in a claiming chase at this track on October 29th. Unlikely to trouble some of these
  76. LES FLOTS BLEUS – 5th on her most recent outing over 3550m in a claiming hurdle at Fontainebleau on November 6th. Can make the frame at nice odds
  77. LOLLITA – Solid effort to be 2nd at this track over 3600m in a handicap hurdle on November 5th. Hard to discount
  78. LOULOU BERE – Won on his last run over 3800m in a Class 3 chase at Castera-Verduza on November 2nd. Look elsewhere
  79. DINO STYLE – Four unplaced efforts of late, 5th at Auteuil over 3600m in a handicap hurdle on the latter on October 29th. Others make more appeal
  80. KING LANE – Placed 2nd over 3500m in a claiming hurdle at Moulins on November 9th last time out. Handicap debut and is one to consider

  82. FOREST CROWN – 5th on the last run in early November at this track over hurdles, 2nd before that over 3550m in a Class 4 hurdle at Fontainebleau on October 28th. In the mix
  83. ASHKIN – Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3600m when well beaten at Saint-Brieuc on October 26th in a hurdle race. Hardly inspiring
    Summary: ECTOT ONE (2) could be the best option in this competitive handicap hurdle. She has been running consistently on each of her four runs this year and looks overdue success. RAFFLES CIPRIANI (1) was a pleasing second at Compiegne in October in a Class 3 hurdle, and this lightly raced gelding has plenty more to come. ROI DU REVE (6) has a good racing weight and looks like a good option each way. LOLLITA (9) ran well when second at this track recently and warrants respect.

HUGO DE LA VALLEE (6) is not easy to trust but is capable of getting involved with the finish when in the right mood. JULIANDER (3) is unreliable but can make the frame at best.

    Summary: KROSKOF DE GUEZ (4) is improving and only found one better on the day at Maquenchy a couple of weeks ago. He should prove to be the right one over this particular course and distance. LABEL D’HERMES (6) remains in good shape and if there is to be a danger to the selection then he may well be it. LE GRAND ZAMPANO (3) and LUCIFER (9) are both coming off disqualifications when last seen under the saddle but have improved since then and could make the frame.

    Summary: A very competitive looking race. MELODIE D’HOULBEC (14) may have just needed the last run. She can bounce back and win a race of this nature if in the right mood. MASSILIA ENJOY (4) and MYA DES MONTS (1) have both been in good form of late and can challenge for top honours yet again. MINELLA (10) is threatening to win again and should like this course and distance so must be respected in this line-up.

  38. MILWAUKEE – Not disgraced when fourth in Class E at La Capelle over 2750m on 11 November. Can be a threat to these rivals
  39. MONT VENTOUX – Showed some improvement when third in Class F over this course and distance on 8 November. Has disqualification issues but is not out of it
  40. MIKE DES CARREAUX – Unreliable and finished 5th in Class F over this course and distance on 8 November. Might play a minor role

MONT VENTOUX (5) is not easy to trust but did run well over this course and distance and is an obvious threat. MAKEMYDAY (7) showed improvement at Lyon-Parilly and is capable of doubling up.

    Summary: A very open race. LABEL DU MONT (16) looks to have been prepared with this race in mind and can win a race of this nature. LE POULIGUEN (8) is capable of scoring when staying on the trot and must be respected this time. LOUNA DU CHERISAY (5) is threatening to win and can go one better.

KALGARY (7) remains in good form and would not be a surprise winner. KASHMIR DU GERS (6) is unreliable but quite capable of making the frame. KATCHINA (3) races without shoes and could be ready to shine this time around.

C1 – PRIX DU MANEGE – 2500m (a1m1/2) – Class F – Harness – EUR € 21,000

  1. KERLAZ D’AVE – Showed signs of a return to form in the autumn but out of the picture in last 2 starts and will have few takers
  2. KAJOU JOSSELYN – Left an encouraging impression at Laval earlier in the month, on just 2nd start back. Is new to the venue but is well-drawn and with Anthony Barrier in the bike is unlikely to let the side down. First 5
  3. KISS ME DU LIVET – Modest mare that has raced twice since the break but in this company has no possible chance
  4. KATITZI – Won 3 of 4 before running 3rd in a Vincennes Class F early this month. Would be preferred barefoot but in current condition is still very easy to like
  5. KID DE LA BANIO – Won 2 of 3 before being eliminated at Laval on 7 November. Has never disappointed at Reims and is not about to start now. Chance
  6. KELLE – Didn’t miss the mark on first barefoot start, comfortably winning a 2500m Class E. Form is plainly headed in the right direction and she is eminently capable of doubling up
  7. KALYPSO DE THIERRE – Unremarkable 6th of 10 finishers in a Cabourg Class E a month back. Is not devoid of talent but is unlikely to create an upset
  8. KIRIO DE REUX – Sprang a pleasant surprise when 4th of 14 in a 2500m Class F on comeback here a fortnight ago. Alexandre Abrivard in the bike for the first time and, despite the draw, still looks a player
  9. KER MIEL – Had been on a fine run of form until being eliminated in a 2500m Class F here 2 weeks ago. Has again been handed an unfavourable draw but is still worth retaining
  10. KILLER DE BEAULIEU – Surprise 3rd behind KATUDI (13) in Saint-Galmier before running 6th behind KIRIO DE REUX (8) in a Class F under these conditions on 10 November. Handed a tough draw and confirmation seems improbable
  11. KAZACHOK D’ETANG – 7th behind KIRIO DE REUX (8) in a Class F under these conditions on 10 November. Disappointing on the whole since late-summer 2024 and is not about to spring any surprises
  12. KIARHA DE NAPPES – Pleasant 4th of 13 in a Class F over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Has little going for her this time though and can be passed over
  13. KATUDI – Got back in the game early this month when 2nd of 16 in a 2600m Saint-Galmier Class F. Is not about to lose his maiden tag but should nevertheless hold his own
  14. KIDNAPPING – Complicated but talented sort making first appearance since May. Has no clockwise references and is going to need the race
    Summary: KELLE (6) made no bones about imposing at Saint-Brieuc late last month when barefoot for the first time. She has form here and will be able to wrap this up if Alain Laurent keeps her focused. Comfortable winner here before losing his action at Laval, KID DE LA BANIO (5) is nicely-placed beside her and can put things right. KIRIO DE REUX (8) left a good impression on her recent re-entry here, will be barefoot this time, and looks dangerous. KATITZI (4) has been a revelation since late-summer, enjoys a terrific spot behind the car, and even though shod will have an active role to play.

  15. LOOK DANOVER – Unremarkable individual that has yet to show any aptitude for the game and will have few, if any, friends
  16. LOTUS DU CHATAULT – Has looked very ordinary to date. Returns from a spell and appears to have no realistic chance
  17. LEON JERSOP – Late developer that has shown potential but stays shod for Reims bow and will have other ambitions
  18. LABEL DADDY – Unexceptional sort with a regressive profile. Runs first-time barefoot though and from the front row can get a look in
  19. LAWRENCE – Has been totally off the boil for past 3 months. Eliminated on sole Reims appearance and can be ruled out
  20. LAST BOY DU DOME – Has bags of ability but eliminated in last 4, most recently at Nancy. Is new to Reims and will be expected to figure prominently if Philippe Daugeard manages to keep him focused
  21. LAKE OAKS – Modest sort starting for the first time since being eliminated at Le Pertre in late-September and is not about to trouble the judge
  22. LARGO DU PONT – Lost his maiden status in a 2600m Nancy Class G 2 weeks ago. Is clearly on the way up and is well-placed to repeat
  23. L’AIR DU TEMPS – Got off the mark at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 3 weeks ago before losing his action at Caen. Sports pads this time, with Benjamin Rochard reining, and with application can contest the finish
  24. LUIDGI DES EPINES – Reassuring 3rd to LARGO DU PONT (8) in a Nancy Class G a fortnight ago. Enjoys a terrific entry on the front line this time and is not to be underestimated
  25. LOUSTIC DU MIDI – Unlucky here 12 days ago before losing his action at Laon last Wednesday, but the extra 25m will do his chances no favours
  26. LABUAN BAJO – Got back in the game at Paray-le-Monial a week ago when runner-up in a 2650m claimer, but has little to no chance this time around
  27. LOIR BOURBON – Quality element that has won 3 of 4 clockwise starts, including under these conditions. Has just the one run under his belt but the change of shoeing may be just the ticket
  28. L’ART DU SOLLIER – Starts for the first time since running 3rd in a Caen Class E last June. Stays shod for return but in this company can pick up some prizemoney
  29. LOUPIO MENUET – Returns to the code after imposing under the saddle in a Bihorel-lès-Rouen Class F on 19 October. Here for reasons of conditioning however and can be passed over
  30. LUPIN DU BOURG – Sent for a rest after opening his account in July. Very good 2nd at Laon on his comeback just over a month ago and although arguably better racing left-handed, is still easy to recommend
    Summary: He took some time to come to hand but LARGO DU PONT (8) has done nothing but improve since the summer. Entrusted to Alexandre Abrivard for the first time, and starting on the front line, he looks the one to beat. He should nevertheless encounter resistance from a reconfigured L’AIR DU TEMPS (9) who should not be hastily-condemned for his Caen blip. On the back row but barefoot for the first time, LOIR BOURBON (13) will have his chances if focused. Excellent in last month’s re-entry run, the well-engaged LUPIN DU BOURG (16) should have a say in the outcome.

  32. JOLI CHERI – Mixes the good with the less good but is back in his code of preference. Has a lot going for him this time and can contest the finish if he takes to the new profile
  33. JADE MAJOR – 30-1 winner at Feurs in mid-October but failed to confirm at Strasbourg 3 weeks ago. Handed a good draw but chances limited all the same
  34. JYTRACE DE HOUELLE – Capable sort with a pair of conditioners under his belt following a lengthy layoff. Is proven here, runs barefoot for the occasion, and from the 4-spot is easy to like for a first-5 cheque
  35. JASON BLUE – Fine 3rd of 14 in a competitive Bordeaux Class D on 12 November. Starts in front and will not be far from the action if Pierre-Yves Verva keeps him trotting
  36. JIVA – Never at her ease when eliminated at Laval earlier in the month. Has otherwise been very hard to fault and is expected to play an active role
  37. IVO SIVED – Showed improvement when 4th, a place behind ITONO DE MILLAC (8), in a Lisieux Class E early this month, but in this company will struggle to repeat
  38. ITONO DE MILLAC – Has turned a corner lately, placing at Montauban then Lisieux. Faces a stiffer test this time, will not be helped by the draw, but will still have his supporters
  39. JUST DE LA MORTRIE – Won twice under these conditions in the space of 3 weeks, most recently with authority. Anthony Barrier would have preferred a better draw but still has every chance of securing the 3-timer
  40. JALBA DU FER – Honest mare that always gives her best, and was not disgraced at Cabourg last time, but cannot be considered more than a minor place chance at best on this occasion
  41. JUSTESS VIKING – Disappointing for the most part since the spring, latterly trounced at Chartres. Tends to go well here but is being aimed too high this time
  42. JALACTIC – 4th at Cabourg before repeating behind JUST DE LA MORTRIE (9) here 2 weeks ago. On back line and will have little to contribute
  43. JAWAX DE KERYANN – Faithful element that was unluckily eliminated at Argentan 3 weeks ago. Ran 2nd on lone start here, is plainly in shape, and must be respected
    Summary: Occasionally a handful but otherwise dynamic in the day’s configuration, JUST DE LA MORTRIE (9) returns on a hat-trick of course-and-distance victories and despite the draw can still pull it off. Anthony Barrier will nevertheless be mindful of the better-placed JOLI CHERI (2) who goes barefoot with Alexandre Abrivard in the bike, and JIVA (6) who won her last 2 right-handed starts. JASON BLUE (5) is never far from faulting but, after impressing at Bordeaux, will have his chances if focused.

  45. LIZA DE LA COUR – Has produced some forgettable performances over recent months and even though sporting a fresh configuration has no realistic chance
  46. LUTECE RINGEAT – Finished close to LOVHELEN D’OR (12) at La Capelle. Is 25m better off this time and even though shod still looks a serious proposition
  47. LIBELLULE – Takes a dip in category after giving a reassuring account at home in Sweden early last month. Had had ample time to freshen up and will be no pushover if she takes to French conditions
  48. LINKA D’ADELE – Steps up in category after running 2nd of 14 in a Class G at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 3 weeks ago. Should take well to the Reims profile and must be taken seriously
  49. LASKA DE BLEMONT – Ran an encouraging 5th of 13 over 2600m in Victoria Park 2.5 weeks ago. Hind shoes off for first time, with Alexandre Abrivard in the bike, and is unlikely to be far off the mark
  50. LITTLE MARY – Completely out of the equation in every start since winning at Châlons-en-Champagne 5 months ago and even with hind shoes off will have nothing to contribute
  51. LADY DU CAMPUS – Got off the mark at Nancy in September but out of the picture in next 2 and can expect little support
  52. LESLIE JUTH – Has merit but unexceptional 6th of 7 finishers in a Chartres Class F late last month. Enjoys a front-row break though and cannot be ruled out
  53. LADY DE JOUDES – Did nothing but improve before going for a spell after imposing at Nancy. Is just 80 Euros from incurring the penalty and has every chance of making her Reims bow a successful one
  54. LADY SAINT CHARLES – Unremarkable 6th behind LOVHELEN D’OR (12) at La Capelle 3 weeks ago. Starts on back row here and can expect to have few friends
  55. LOVHELEN D’OR – Honest type that ran 3rd here last month before repeating at La Capelle early this month. On the back line this time but still has the wherewithal to finish in the mix
  56. LEGENDE DU GERS – Capable on a good day but form is heading in the wrong direction, and will need to find significantly more
  57. LAZIE PONT VAUTIER – Has not been particularly performant over recent months. Has previously placed here, and sports a new configuration, but still looks an outsider
  58. LALA QUICK – Complicated but capable filly from a good yard. Has just one run under her belt, but has been reconfigured and, given the entry, should not be overlooked
  59. LOLITA ROLAU – Lacklustre in last 2, latterly trounced at Cabourg. Is well-engaged on back row but still has too much to do
    Summary: Given a short rest after losing her maiden tag at Nancy in late-September, Alain Laurent has found a tremendous opportunity to get LADY DE JOUDES (10) right back in the winners’ circle. LUTECE RINGEAT (3) is considerably better than her latest result would suggest and even though fitted with shoes this time, is still a player. Swedish filly LIBELLULE (4) is no star but she has shown decent aptitude, will be reined by Anthony Barrier, and will have her chances if she turns. LINKA D’ADELE (5) has done everything asked of her so far and despite the hike in category still looks competitively well in.

  65. JUNIOUS HEOT – Good, consistent sort taking to Reims for the first time and in excellent shape. Enjoys a front-line break and should figure prominently. Place chance
  66. JURQUES – Ran 4th in a Laon claimer before finishing a place behind JUNIOUS HEOT (6) at Gournay-en-Bray 3 weeks ago. Is forced to break wide but still cannot be ruled out
  67. JULLIAN DADDY – Unexceptional trotter making first appearance since being trounced at La Capelle 2 months ago. Sports a new configuration but the draw does him no favours
  68. JOLIE AGATHA – Has done nothing of note all year, most recently routed by JUNIOUS HEOT (6) at Strasbourg, and can be disregarded
  69. JORDY DU NOYER – Disappointing since returning from his summer break. Runs barefoot for the occasion but can expect to have few takers
  70. JARDIN DE MAHEY – Hardy type that seldom lets the side down when applied. Seen more often at a lower level but in present shape is difficult to ignore
  71. JOLIE BOES – Well-beaten in last 2, latterly in a Castelsarrasin Class F on 19 October, and will have nothing to offer
  72. JAMIN DE BRY – Useful a good day but out of the picture in last 4. Pulled a tough number for Reims debut and is unlikely to cause an upset
  73. JAVA CAILLERIE – Unable to complement her Bihorel-lès-Rouen victory when biting off more than she could chew in Paris 10 days ago. Has been handed a shocker of a draw but is still competitive for a cheque
    Summary: Dutch trainer Bastiaan Crebas is no stranger to Reims and is well-represented here. He sends out the ideally-positioned JAGGERS (3) who imposed at Montier-en-Der after a spell, and JUNIOUS HEOT (6) who is plainly close to winning another. Arguably better than one, but not the other, JOYAU DE L’ITON (4) has hardly put a foot wrong lately, has been handed a good draw, and will be no easy touch. Three weeks ago, JOESTAR DES NOES (1) secured his first victory for 14 months, is confirmed here, and easy to fancy for a place on the podium.

  74. MEXICAIN – Got off the mark in a 2550m Class H at Gournay-en-Bray on 28 September. Has been afforded ample time to get back in shape, and although in better company this time, still looks competitively well in
  75. MY NAME IS FLASH – Demolished the opposition in a 2450m Caen Class G 11 days ago. Alexandre Abrivard takes over in the bike and should be able to give MANGANOU DU DOME (9) a run for his money
  76. METEORE ETOILE – Reassuring 4th, a place behind MAJIRO KALOUMA (10), in a Class F at La Capelle 3 weeks ago, but on this occasion will have little to contribute
  77. MEYDAN VOIRONS – Opened his account at first time of asking before failing to deliver at La Capelle. Has been given time to come on and is not incapable of delivering on first start back
  78. MAXIM D’HERTALS – Modest individual that has placed just once in 12 starts and recent numbers do nothing to inspire confidence
  79. MUST WIN DE REM – Got off the mark at Saint-Omer in September but well-beaten in next 2 and can be passed over
  80. MYSTERE DES ARRIS – Pleasant 4th in a Cabourg Class E before confirming in an Amiens Class F 10 days ago. Cannot be considered a priority but can nonetheless play a small role
  81. MAO DU CAMPDOS – Has merit but disappointing 8th of 11 in a Cabourg Class E early last month. Has had time to recalibrate but others still easier to support
  82. MANGANOU DU DOME – Ran 2nd to a very good horse on debut before losing his maiden status on 5 October. Benefits from a good entry and can confirm
  83. MAJIRO KALOUMA – Placed in 3 of 4 prior to being eliminated early in an Amiens Class F 10 days ago, but can get a look in if he gets off on the right foot
  84. MAGIC FRIENDS – Reliability not his strong suit but ran reassuring 2nd of 14 in a 2400m Chateaubriant Class F 12 days ago, and can again get in on the action if he stays focused
  85. MAX DU CAMPDOS – Has kept on improving over recent months, most recently opening his account in a Gournay-en-Bray Class H 3 weeks ago. Takes on a tougher lot this time but is still expected to finish in the mix
    Summary: MANGANOU DU DOME (9) could have been coming here undefeated had he not encountered a good Duvaldestin colt first time out. He got off the mark at Bihorel-lès-Rouen early last month though and should be good enough to confirm. Philippe Daugeard will still be wary of the improving MY NAME IS FLASH (2) who has excelled with Yoann Lebourgeois, but who will be ably replaced, and Alain Laurent’s promising MEYDAN VOIRONS (4) who makes his first start since the summer. MEXICAIN (1) came good at a lower level last time out, returns to the track with morale intact, and can challenge for a place in the frame.

  87. MADAMIGELLA – Got off the mark at Lisieux 3 weeks ago before being eliminated at Caen a fortnight later. Anthony Barrier in the bike this time but still not a player
  88. MAMZELLE D’HERIPRE – Quickly eliminated at Vincennes on first start for Derieux yard. Has evident ability and the change of scenery may be just what the doctor ordered
  89. MY QUEEN DELO – Unexceptional filly making first appearance since running 4th in a Class F on turf 3 months ago, and is not about to shake things up
  90. MOANA DE WALLIS – Showed her limits when 6th of 9 in a 2800m Strasbourg Class E a month ago and is not about to influence the result
  91. MATRIONA – Gave a good account on return when 4th in a Caen Class F last weekend. Will have progressed for the race but still has more to find
  92. MAM’ZELLEPAZENAISE – Courageous 5th in a Strasbourg Class E a month ago. Acquits herself honourably for the most part but will struggle to make her mark here
  93. MIESQUE – Has raced just twice but has done everything asked of her so far. Is clearly a talented future prospect with the wherewithal to get back in the winners’ circle
  94. MESSALINE – Failed to repeat Le Mont-Saint-Michel victory but still fine 3rd of 12 in a Class F over course and distance on 11 October. Has freshness on her side and is not incapable of imposing
  95. MOURASIE LEPINE – Gave a good account on comeback at Nuillé-sur-Vicoin before losing her action in a Nantes Class E late last month. Possesses a certain potential and cannot be ruled out
  96. MAHALIA D’IRAI – Made up for Pornichet effort when 2nd in a Class F at La Capelle 12 days ago. Is clearly in good shape and the engagement of Pierre-Yves Verva bodes well for her chances
  97. MAFIA RINGEAT – Returns to racing right-handed after running eye-catching 4th in a Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 27 October. Is not a priority but with form maintained can again make first 5
    Summary: Winner on debut before just missing out at Strasbourg earlier in the month, MIESQUE (8) comes to a track that should suit her and, given the stable’s form, is easy to like for the win. She will still come under pressure from the promising MESSALINE (9) who left a very good impression under these conditions last month, and MAMZELLE D’HERIPRE (3) whose change of stable may just start to bear fruit. MAHALIA D’IRAI (11) got back in the game at La Capelle and can repeat if Pierre-Yves Verva keeps her trotting.

  98. NADIR – Has been held back since qualifying well at Caen last May. Hails from a yard adept with young horses and is one to monitor closely
  99. NINA SIMONE – Qualified in 1’21″0 at Meslay-du-Maine in early-July. Comes from a decent yard and would not be here if not ready. First 5
  100. NOBLESS DU NOYER – Put in a fine performance to qualify in 1’17″1 at Meslay-du-Maine 11 days ago. Takes on a good bunch first time out but will not be far off the mark if as good in competition
  101. NOOR DE MONCHEL – Unremarkable in July’s qualification at Amiens and in this company will struggle to make her presence felt
  102. NORWEGIAN ISLAND – Looked decidedly ordinary in a Class F at La Capelle on 11 November, first time out, and is not about to spice things up
  103. NIDORINO DU COTIDA – Last but one on debut before running 3rd of 5 over 1750m at Mons in mid-October, and looks thoroughly out of his depth
  104. NICOU CHAK – Qualified well in Gelsenkirchen before running 4th of 11in a 2050m Cabourg Class E a month ago. Will have come on for the run and can put on a better show this time
  105. NASHIRA – Imposed at first time of asking but less impressive at least Croise-Laroche on 27 October. Has more to find but is not entirely out of the equation
  106. NEO VANILLA – Unthreatening 3rd in an incident-filled Class E over course and distance on 19 October before losing her action at Strasbourg 3 weeks ago, and can expect to have few takers
  107. NINJA D’AIMTE – Eliminated at Chateaubriant 12 days ago when sent out deserved favourite. Driven by Pierre-Yves Verva this time and can make a big impact if he keeps his colt’s mind on the job
  108. NEEDREAM – Sprang a 72-1 surprise when 5th of 14 in a 2400m Chateaubriant Class E on 11 November, although a repeat seems highly unlikely
  109. NOVATO BELLO – Showed significant improvement 3 weeks ago when 2nd of 12 in a Chartres Class F, beaten only by a very good horse. Is plainly close to his race and can get his nose in front if he takes to the new conditions
    Summary: Left to come on after qualifying respectably at Le Mans in July, NOVATO BELLO (12) has since produced 2 solid efforts and, partnered by Alexandre Abrivard this time, can lose his maiden status. It will still be worth fearing the talented NINJA D’AIMTE (10) who will be no soft touch if he stays focused, and NICOU CHAK (7) whose Cabourg debut did not go unnoticed. From a yard in excellent shape, the well-qualified debutant, NOBLESS DU NOYER (3), looks competitively well in.

  3. PERSEVERANZA – Decent 2nd in a Class 4 Conditional over 2900m at Durtal on the 1st of November 2025. One to include in all plays
  4. GOOD QUESTION – Supplemented Good Question was a winner over 2600m in a Class 4 Handicap at Marseille Pont De Vivaux. He has every chance to follow up

RIYAK (1) delivered a credible third last time out and is one that always enjoys making his presence felt. He can be ultra threatening to the top choice in this lineup. LUCIO VERO (6) was running against tough Class 3 divisions and meets a field where he can be more competitive and polish up on his current self. PERSEVERANZA (3) looks to be the lurker of the pack having run two consecutive seconds and must be respected.

    Summary: COME TI AMO (5) is absolutely treasuring life having won her last two starts and she could continue her upward trend and reel off the hattrick win here. JUBILE (7) always finds himself in the thick of things and his form suggests that he will earn a podium chance once again. KAPETANIOS (2) found some confidence again when running into second in his last attempt and a repetition of that run could find himself being a livewire waiting to spark his opposition.

    Summary: WABAL (5) and SOIRANE (1) are no strangers to each other when meeting in their last start and are confidently selected to fill in the first and second place positions. They renew their rivalry and certainly holds the form to back them up to do so. PAS DE VELOURS (4) was a solid winner last time out and if the top two choices fluff their lines, this vixen could very well take full advantage of that. SILVER SCHNOK (7) was second in charge in her last attempt and looks to have the right accolades to awaken this field if they caught asleep.

    Summary: GRANDPA CEN (4) has been a soldier that continues to knock hard on the door and he could very well get the winning doors to open for him as he poses as the horse to beat. YACHT SHOW (3) returns after a six month rest and if the freshener is not needed, he can deliver a solid performance. EYE OF THE TIGER (8) makes his debut and will enjoy the further trip in time to come. In saying that, he will be flying at them and will look to produce a positive debut performance.

  52. EXQUISE ITALIENNE – Ran an absolute blinder in 2nd at Marseille Borely over 1700m in a Handicap on the 31st of October and rates the one to beat. Winning chance
  53. PERSIS – She has placed twice from three starts, caught the eye when 2nd at Deauville last time and is a massive contender for top honors. Good each way chance
  54. BEDAIO – Will need serious progression on last run when only 6th over 1900m at La Teste and others are far preferred for the shortlist. Pass by

    Summary: EXQUISE ITALIENNE (3) is running well and showing some potential. Her last run at Marseille Borely was excellent and she looks ready to break her maiden tag. PERSIS (4) has finished 2nd in two of her three starts and despite the last run being in a weak claiming race, she has every chance in this line-up. L’ALTA ROCCA (7) is improving with racing and should not be a maiden for too much longer. KOHAKOU (1) brings decent form into the race and can have claims too.

  64. DSCHINGIS NOBLESSE – Placed ten times from eleven starts and should get it all right one of these days. Respect and include, strong each way claims
    Summary: SIR CRATER (3) brings ultra-consistent form into the race , having won two out of his last three starts. His last run was another honest effort and he could be tough to beat. FILLE D’ARGENTINE (1) can be forgiven for the last effort and judged on penultimate victory at this course over 2000m. She should be right there at the finish. DSCHINGIS NOBLESSE (8) is having her 12th bite at the cherry for the win. She has more of a place chance that a winning one for today. NUNUKA (5) has been running respectably well in claiming races and has to be taken into account.

  71. ASAALAH – Was a winner at Toulouse over 2100m on the 10th of October and should make the presence felt. Others preferred for the win but can place
    Summary: VERECONDO (2) made a local winning debut over 2100m in mid October and can follow up. FAKHIRA (4) caught the eye when scoring first time up too and could end up being anything. THAQIB DE MONLAU (1) relished the 1900m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in September and can race fresh and well. Big chance in this competitive Arabian field. MISS DES VIALETTES (6) finished 2nd first time out and with natural progression, should be closely involved.
    SELECTIONS – VERECONDO (2) – FAKHIRA (4) – THAQIB DE MONLAU (1) – MISS DES VIALETTES (6)
