  8. ALTAMONTE – Unraced gelding by Saint Des Saints, the dam never ran. From a respected stable that knows the time of day. Bold show is expected
  9. CHECK DE GREZ – Gelding by Nirvana Du Berlais, the dam never raced. Looks good on paper and should know what is required on his racecourse bow
  10. PINOT BLANC – Gelding by Ectot, the dam was placed on the flat. Likely to need this outing and can improve for this opening run
  11. IMPERIAL CIERGUES – Gelding by Imperial Monarch, the dam ran several times. Likely to need this run for experience unless the betting market is lively
  12. CHEZ DOUCET – Newcomer by Ivanhowe, the dam won 1 race. Likely to know what is required on his debut, and the betting market can be informative
  13. MIKA DU SEUIL – Gelding by Cloth Of Stars, the dam won 2 races over jumps. Nice profile and from a leading stable. Can make his presence felt
  14. MORE THAN I KAN – Gelding by Latrobe, the dam was placed once on the flat. Should improve for this run unless the betting speaks volumes
  15. MAGNIFICA – Three unplaced runs on the flat, the latter over 2500m at Nancy on September 28th. Hurdling debut and others make more appeal
    Summary: Some well-bred newcomers line up, with only one runner in the field having previous experience on the Flat. ALTAMONTE (1) could be the one to side with and should be well prepared for a bold showing. MIKA DU SEUIL (6) will also be well schooled by his connections and warrants respect. CHECK DE GREZ (2) has some encouraging signs in his profile and should know what is required. CHEZ DOUCET (5) comes from a respected yard and could make his presence felt.

  17. PESO DI LEGNO AA – Two good wins of late, the latter a Class 3 cross-country over 4650m at Mont-De-Marsan on December 7th. Live contender
  18. DOMINO DU RAYNAL AA – Unplaced last time, 3rd previously over the track and trip in a Class 1 cross-country on February 11th. Hard to ignore
  19. KAPPA GREEN AA – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 4900m at Agen in a Class 2 cross-country on November 9th. Others rate higher
  20. INDIA DE CANDALE AA – 5th on her last start over 4400m at Auteuil on November 23rd in a Class 1 chase. Cross country winner in September over 4900m in a Class 3 race. Unlikely to trouble some of these
  21. GALYLEO DE PALMAS AA – Fair 4th at Auteuil over 4400m in a Class 1 chase on November 23rd last time out. Track and trip winner in February. Enters calculations

  23. GRIS MINOIS AA – Ran well when 2nd over the track and trip in a cross-country on February 11th when last seen. Absence to overcome, but can have a say
    Summary: JAZZ DE CANDALE AA (1) is a winner at this track in January and has acquitted himself well with a win and a second since, the latest effort when beaten at Mont-De-Marsan in a Class 3 cross-country earlier this month by PESO DI LEGNO AA (2), who is worse off at the weights today, and the drop back in trip could suit the former better this time. DOMINO DU RAYNAL AA (3) has leading each way credentials. GRIS MINOIS AA (8) makes up the shortlist.

    Summary: BREXIT (5) has been highly tried over fences in his last two starts, competing in Grade 1 and Grade 2 events. Returning to hurdles today should suit him, and he can add another success. LOVELY GUY (4) may give the selection the most to do, as he is seeking a hat-trick of wins, after scoring over fences recently. KYROV (1) has a touch of quality and can give another good account of himself. NIKKALUOKTA (2) completes the shortlist.

  40. EXUPERY – Holding form well and was fourth in a Conditions chase at this course over 4000m on 10 December. Can make the frame
    Summary: A competitive-looking race. KILOMETRE ILLIMITÉ (5) is in very good form and was a very easy winner at Compiègne last month. He can double up on that victory. KAPACA DE THAIX (3) has struck form with some solid wins, including beating a number of these rivals at this track last time out, and is a real threat.

PAS DANSANT (2) impressed on this track last time out and could be a threat. MERLE (1) did not show his best last time but has performed better in some fair races and can get involved with the finish.

    Summary: A very open-looking claimer. DEMOISEL DE PARIS (9) is not reliable, but she is best judged on a good penultimate start victory and can win at this level over fences. TENALACH (1) returns from a break but is capable of winning in this division. KING OF FRANCS (6) is fit and proven over fences, so can get into the mix again.

  1. DADDY JOY – A promising 5th in a Handicap over this course and distance on 5 December. His rating has come down and a Handicap victory cannot be far away
  2. ODIN NORMANDY – An excelllent two-length winner of his last race over 2100m at this track on 22 November. That was his debut on the sand and there could be a lot more to come
  3. FLAMBOYANTE – A well-beaten 4th over this course and distance on 5 December and will need to do a lot more to be comeptitive this time
  4. SOGYNT – Al close-up 3rd in a Conditions Qualifying Handicap over this course and distance on 19 December. He is well rated and loves this course so another big race is expected.
  5. LEMPIRA – An unlucky 5th in a Conditions Qualifying Handicap over this course and distance on 19 December. He was beaten 4.25 lengths by SOGYNT (4) in that race but if things go his way he could finish closer this time
  6. LA TORNADE – Finished 4th in a Handicap over 3100m at this track on 29 November. Will benefit from the drop in trip and a place could be in her ambit
  7. ALL STORY – A poor 12th in a Hurdle race over 3900m at Auteuil on 30 March. Now on the flat and coming back from a 9-month break so is unlikely to be competitive
  8. LUNATICOS – Finished 3rd in a Handicap over 3100m at this course on 19 December. Unlikely to be suited to the drop in trip and has his work cut out
  9. INTELLITA – Well beaten when 8th in a Handicap over this course and distance on 5 December. Looks held by others on that run and is unlikely to turn the form around
  10. PAGAN SUN – Never in the race when 11th in a Handicap over 2500m at Deauville on 22 December. Did finish 2nd the last time he ran at this course in March but that was in a Maiden
  11. L’ETOILE DE FRANCE – Ran 9th in Handicap over 2100m at this course on 24 December. Is held by others on that form and in unlikely to be suited by the extra 300m this time
  12. KAPTAIN NORDIK – Never got a look-in when 12th in a Handicap over 3100m at this track on 19 December. However, he ran 3rd over track and trip on his penultimate start and that puts him in contention
  13. SPIRIT OF DANCE – Another who probably found 3100m too far last time when 9th in a Handicap over 3100m at this course on 19 December. Won his penultimate start over this track and trip but against weaker
  14. BY FAR – A decent 5th in a Handicap over 3100m at this course on 18 December. Ran 2nd in his previous race over the same course and distance and off a light weight, has the ability to cause an upset
  15. DRIP – A competitive 4th in a Handicap over 2100m at this course on 14 December. An excellent 2nd at ths course in his previous start and is currently at the top of his game
    Summary: SOGYNT (4) is ideally suited to the race conditions and despite landing No 14 draw, looks the runner to beat. He finished behind ODIN NORMANDY (2) in his penultimate start but can reverse that over the longer trip and a weight turnaround. However, ODIN NORMANDY (2) made a winning debut on the sand and could have a lot more to offer. DADDY JOY (1) ran well at this course last time could be a threat while DRIP (15) has a light weight and is in good form as well.

  18. JACK’S SON – Impressive 6-length winner of his last start over this course and distance on 5 December. He was peanlised 5kg for that win but could still be ahead of the handicapper.
  19. ZABIR – Failed to impress when 10th in a Claimer over 2500m at Deauville on 17 December. Form does not inspire
  20. BAHIA WARANA – Was 7th in a Handicap over 1900m at Chantilly on 4 March. Comes back from an almost 10-month break and is likely to need the run

  23. SEMEUR – Not beaten too far when 4th in a Handicap over 2100m at this track on 14 December. Ran 2nd behind JACK’S SON (3) in his penultimate start and should go closer on 4kg better terms
  24. IN THE ARMY NOW – Finished 5th in a Handicap over 2100m at Argentan on 8 October. Has run well over this track and trip and racing fresh could do so again
  25. PREFERENCIA – Well-beaten 11th in a Handicap over 2100m at Argentan on 8 October. Takes on stronger this time and could battle
  26. DREAM IN NORMANDY – Showed improvement when 5th at Deauville over 2500m on 22 December. Well weighted and could be competitive if showing further progress
  27. ROCK OF SPIRIT – Did well to run 3rd in a Handicap over 3100m at this course on 19 December. If he can reproduce that form over shorter, at these weights he should be competitive
  28. LA CRACK PRECIEUSE – Finished 6th in a Handicap over 2400m at Craon on 30 November. Has a lot more to do to feature in this company
  29. TARGUI – Not really a contender when 6th in a Handicap over 2150m at Lyon La Soie on 15 December. Does not appear to have the ability to trouble this field
    Summary: JACK’S SON (3) could not have been more impressive when winning last time out but will need to be ahead of the handicapper’s assessment if he is to remain competitive. But that could prove to be be the case. SPRINGBOKS (1) has had two excellent runs at this course after a break and should be at his peak. SEMEUR (8) only found JACK’S SON (3) too good last time and has a 4kg advantage. MURANO (6) ran well over further and could trouble the others.

  33. BRYVIDO – A well-beaten 12th in a Maiden over this course and distance on 5 December. Will need to show more to be competitive

    Summary: This race does look quite competitive but the advantage should lie with YELLOW DREAM (8) who has placed in all three starts since moving from the UK. She bumped a good one last time and this race should be ideal for her. CAZADERO (2) is another consistent runner and she looks the main danger. More had been expected from POMME SURETTE (9) but she should improve trying further. VIVRE LIBRE (3) looks ready to pick up a win.

SEA WAVE (2) overcame a wide draw to get up and win last time out and should be competitive from a better barrier. RAIDEN (4) only has one thing to prove and that is whether he will see out the longer trip. ELFENN (1) did not have the best of fortune in her last start and should show a lot more this time.

  53. LUCINE – Hard effort finishing 14th in a maiden over 2100m at Pornichet on the 5th of December 2025. Needs to polish up on current state
  54. LANCHETTE – Trying 6th in a maiden over 2250m at La Gacilly on the 6th of July 2025. Returns after a lengthy break and may need the freshener
  55. SIXTEEN PARK – Ran 9th in a Handicap over 3100m at Pornichet on the 5th of December 2025. Can make huge improvement here
  56. AME DIVINE – Solid 2nd in a Handicap over 3200m at Pornichet on the 5th of December 2025. Respectable each way chance
  57. MARYLIN CITY – Credible 4th in a Class 3 Conditional over 3100m at Pornichet on the 19th of December 2025. Good winning chance
  58. RIGEL – Forgivable 16th in a maiden over 2100m at Pornichet on the 5th of December 2025. On her debut run, she can be involved
  59. FREENESS – Positive 5th in a maiden over 3200m at Le Mans on the 17th of November 2025. Would have a strategic winning plan here
  60. HARTMAN – Out of the unraced mare Dartaline. Hard to give confidence but this gelding could be anything in the making
  61. MYTHO MAG – Out of the 1 time winning mare Cantate Mag who raced over the hurdles in her career. The betting could be a better guide for this gelding
  62. STARRING – The dam Courseulles raced twice in her career and won both starts. Distance might be a stretch for this gelding but should be encouraging
  63. MINING TIN – This filly is out of a7 time winning mare Everythings Well who raced over the hurdles and steeple chase. Others seem more intriguing
    Summary: FREENESS (10) delivered a positive fifth last time out and the team would have done their homework into executing a winning strategic plan at the All-weather track. MARYLIN CITY (8) put up a hearty run at the track and trip when finishing fourth last time out and she seeks redemption as she makes her return here. AME DIVINE (7) just found one better when finishing a shorthead second and will be of no surprise if she makes a bold appearance. MYTHO MAG (12) makes his debut and the betting is to consider for a guide.

  67. ROMA ANTICA – Finished 12th on debut in a maiden over 1700m at Pornichet on the 14th of December 2025. Top choices look more attractive
  68. OPENSOLA FAL – Trying 6th in a maiden over 2000m at Durtal on the 14th of December 2025. Can pop up at the backend of quartets

  72. AVADREAM – Tough 9th in a Claimer over 1900m at Deauville on the 17th of December 2025. Can be overlooked on current form
  73. HANAMOUR – Out of the mare Clare Glens who raced 7 times in her career but did not feature highly in any. This filly will need the debut experience
    Summary: ASTOVE (1) was second in command in his second at Pornichet over the distance. He has the urge to seek vengeance and his ability should carry him through to the winners box this time around. Supplemented MESSIPONTINE (8) was fourth on debut and steps an extra 100m in distance which she will be well suited too. She looks a danger to the top choice. Supplemented WHY AM I BEAUTIFUL (6) is another candidate on the rise and can take full advantage if the top two fluff their lines. LIGHT OF THUNDER (7) will seek to make improvement here.

    Summary: DORIANELLO (1) has won three of his last eight starts and looks to be in fine fettle of late. All arrows point to him and does look the horse to beat. DRUIDE (6) ran an improving second last time out and if a similar effort is produced here, he can go one more. SAGANNE (2) is always there and thereabout and must be included in all perms. BAILEYS TOPAZE (3) made an appealing appearance when running third over the course and distance and holds strong place claims here.

    Summary: BONNY GLITTERS (5) took on a strong Class 2 field last time out and ran in a Listed race in her penultimate effort. She takes a step down in division where she can be more competitive again. CAPE CANNON (3) won his maiden in his last attempt but has been off for nearly two years now. If well freshened, he can give a good account of himself here. Supplemented HARMONY GREY (4) does look to have inconsistent form at first glance but is certainly capable when wise up to the task. LAUPER (1) heads the rest.
