  11. MAREDSOUS JESSPI – Two nice runs of late, 3rd over 3800m at Moulins in a Class 3 chase on May 9th last time. Unlikely to threaten some of these
  12. KAVIK – Placed on his last two runs, 3rd on the latter over 3500m at Orleans in a Class 5 chase on May 17th. Has work ahead
  13. MILLY WELLS – Two placed runs of late, 3rd on the latter over 4000m at Cluny in a Class 4 chase on May 22nd. Needs more to be involved
    Summary: ROMAN SKIES (4) has been in terrific form of late, with five good efforts, the latest when second at Dieppe 5 days ago in a handicap chase. He can score at the expense of JOLY MOON (3), who has some decent form over hurdles and tries fences for the first time. LOVELY WILD (1) won over fences at Clairefontaine two runs back and warrants respect, as does MICA DE KERZA (2) who looks best of the remainder.

  20. JEANNE DE GUYE – Placed 4th on her last two runs, the latter over 4700m in a handicap chase at Nancy on May 20th. Needs a few to falter
  21. LEMNOS – Two wins of late, the latter over 3900m at Auteuil in a Class 2 hurdle on May 2nd. The hat-trick of wins is not out of the question
  22. MANIYSA BLEUE – Unplaced last time over hurdles in May, a win before that over 4200m at Nancy in a handicap chase on April 4th. Others preferred
  23. BUBBLE PRETTY – Recent success over 3800m in a handicap chase at Compiegne on May 4th. Course winner in March in a handicap chase three runs back. Should be on the premises
    Summary: KIND LOVELY (6) has solid credentials, and has scored at this track on her latest two starts. She sets the standard ahead of KAYO COCO (2), who was second in a Class 1 chase at Le Lion D’Angers in mid-May when last appearing. BELIZE (5) ran well over hurdles when third at Dieppe last time and is effective over fences. LEMNOS (8) is seeking a hat-trick after a win in a Class 2 hurdle at Auteuil last time and has to be considered strongly.

  28. ROYAL LOUIS HAS – Three decent efforts this year, 4th over fences on the latter over 3800m in a handicap at Compiegne on May 4th. Success over hurdles at Nancy on April 14th in a Class 2 over 3900m. Can be on the premises

  32. LOVERBOY DESLITAUX – Two unplaced runs since a 2nd over 3500m at Moulins in a Class 3 hurdle on March 21st. Hard to recommend
    Summary: HEROS D’AINAY (3) can bounce back after failing to complete the course last time at Auteuil in mid-May. His penultimate effort when second at the same track earlier last month was a good run and he can feature. FOLLOW YOU (4) has been racing on the flat and over hurdles recently and can make the selection work for success. LOUP BLOND (8) ran a decent race to be second in a handicap hurdle at Auteuil in early April and has to be considered. ROYAL LOUIS HAS (5) completes the shortlist.

  36. AZIMUTS – Ran well to be 2nd over 2400m at Compiegne in a conditions race on April 25th. Among the leading contenders
  37. ORAGEUX – Nice debut to be 2nd at Fontainebleau in a conditions race on March 13th. Open to improvement and looks like the one to beat
  38. VINO – Three unplaced runs of late, 6th on the latter over 2600m in a Class 4 handicap on May 22nd on the PSF. Still a maiden after 45 starts
  39. NOT TODAY – Finished 5th last time over 2800m at Vichy in a conditions race on May 24th. Has to improve vastly to trouble the principles
  40. SAPHO – – Placed on both runs this year, 4th on the latter over 2000m at this track in a Class 4 handicap on May 14th. Respect each-way
    Summary: ORAGEUX (5) caught the eye on debut at Fontainebleau in mid-March in a conditions race when a promising second. He will be sharper for that run and can get off the mark. His main danger could be AZIMUTS (4), who also finished second on debut when beaten less than a length at Compiegne in a maiden race in late April. He has a good deal more to come. MESSAGER DE FAUST (3) ran well on debut and can give a better account than his latest start when unplaced. SAPHO (8) looks best of the rest.

    Summary: INCREMENTAL (4) produced a solid effort when finishing third in a Class 3 contest at Compiegne late in May and holds strong claims. EXCELSIOR (5) appears the main danger after his victory in a Class 4 event at Cavaillon in early May. A repeat of that performance would see him firmly in contention. ODEMAR (1) scored in a claimer at Fontainebleau two starts ago in February and has the ability to make his presence felt. CAMELOR (6) should strip fitter for his recent comeback run and is capable of playing a supporting role.

  57. MQSE DES NYMPHES – Did not feature on the latest start at Parislongchamp in a Listed race on April 5th over 2100m. One to consider each-way
    Summary: LES PETITS PRINCES (2) has performed creditably on both starts since finishing second at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in January and is narrowly preferred. LAITH (5) rates the main danger after a strong runner-up effort two starts ago at Saint-Cloud and should be competitive once again.
    MQSE DES NYMPHES (9) found Listed company too demanding last time and is expected to be more at ease back in this grade. PYRAMIDE (7) returns from a break and has a fitness question to answer, but is worthy of consideration.

    Summary: RIGEL BLUE (4) has been admirably consistent this year, finishing in the placings on all three starts. After another solid effort in a maiden at this track in early April, she looks capable of getting off the mark. DERNI CHOP (6) rates the main danger, having filled a place on his last two outings, most recently in a handicap at Vichy in May. MERCI CHERI (9) has proven course form and arrives on the back of a runner-up finish in a handicap here in May. JIVEDA (10) also merits consideration.

MISS CHIQUITA (2) has held her own in several well-contested conditions races and could have a say on her handicap debut. KENDARO (12) is not the easiest to handle but showed plenty of ability two starts ago and cannot be ruled out. CROOK (7) is better than his latest effort suggests and is worth another chance so must be respected.

MANA MAHA (1) arrives on the back of two consecutive runner-up finishes and also commands respect. Back in form, SUNRISE DREAM (9) is likely to be competitive as well.

    Summary: Winning three consecutive handicaps is a rare feat, but the thriving SALAZAR (1) looks capable of completing the hat-trick in this line-up. TWO TWO TWO (9) did better than her finishing position suggests last time and is entitled to plenty of respect in this lucky last race. BOMBEY (2), has already given her plenty to think about on several occasions. MEHANYDREAM (10) has been running creditably and could also have a say.

HALL OF FAME (2) conquered his opposition last time out and must be given serious consideration as he can reproduce similar efforts. DRACO (5) should not be discounted from any betting calculations on overall form. VENES (9) is a proven sort and should not be underestimated if he puts his best foot forward.

    Summary: ZARWALYAH (4) was unlucky last time out when she just found one better than her on the day but does look to be packed with the right credentials to go one more this time around. SEESHAUPT (1) met the top choice in their last start and was just behind her for third. She will be electrifying at the finishing post. BALTA (7) is no slouch to racing and if the top two fall asleep, he can very well awaken them. RASSENI CHOP (2) has a quartet chance at best.

    Summary: BOSIOH (2) and KINGORI (1) are no strangers to each other as they represent the same form line and renew their rivalry here. Both are selected to fill in the first and second place position and strongly hold the form to back them up to do so. It will certainly be a boxing match between the two. VOILA POURQOUI (3) was not far off the top two when finishing fourth and on best form, he will be right on top off them towards the finish. GLAVIA (4) wraps up the mix.

    Summary: LE DOC (1) has been in consistent form of late and could prove even more effective over this longer trip after scoring in a claiming race over 1500m at this track 15 days ago. He is taken to follow up.

  45. RIDWAAN – Below par last time, 2nd before that over 2000m at this track in a Class 4 race on May 22nd. Needs to show more consistency
  46. BALAGAN – Placed on the last two runs, 4th over this track and trip in a Class 4 race on May 22nd when last seen. Outside place chance
    Summary: NARCOS (3) gained a deserved success on his penultimate start at Saint-Cloud over this distance and is narrowly preferred in what looks a competitive affair. AMERICANO (5) rates the main danger. Although not always the most reliable, he is a previous course-and-distance winner, having scored here in December. OLAF THE BIG ONE (2) arrives in good form after consecutive placed efforts and should be involved. SPIRIT GREY (1) has also been running consistently,and is another worthy of consideration.
