Summary: MENTOR DE PLAY (8) can be forgiven his defeat at Caen, where he appeared uncomfortable around the right-handed turns. Back on Vincennes’ main track, the winner of five consecutive races here looks well placed to secure a deserved first Group 2 success. MAESTRO VRIE (12), a top-level winner last winter, has two runs under his belt following a break and should be sharper now, especially reunited with Mathieu Mottier. MAGNUM DU CHOQUEL (10) enhanced his claims when landing a key trial at Caen in May and remains firmly on the upgrade. MACK DE BLARY (14), a high-class performer returning from an absence. Fitness is the obvious question, but his raw ability makes him impossible to ignore.

JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (13) goes unshod for the first time, which could unlock further improvement. JINGLE DU PONT (12) is best forgiven a recent run and remains one to consider.

Summary: LANCIER DU GOUTIER (9) is worth another chance after a below-par effort and has the talent to bounce back in this company. If returning to his best form, he should play a leading role. LIBERTE DE CHOISEL (10) arrives in excellent heart after an authoritative Group 2 success in the Prix Albert Demarcq, confirming her place among the leading performers of her generation.

Summary: MAGIC NIGHT (13) has been disqualified on her last two starts at Enghien and Caen, but she is better judged on her previous form and can make amends on her return to Vincennes. MADRID HAUFOR (12) arrives on the back of a deserved victory and looks set to remain competitive at this level. MOLLY MADRIK (7) is particularly effective when partnered by Alexandre Abrivard and should once again be involved in the finish if reproducing her best form.

- 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
- 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.

- GROOM BOY – Unplaced over this track in a Class 2 chase over 4100m last time on May 14th. Might find this a step too far
- HEROS D’AINAY – Failed to complete the course last time at Auteuil over 4400m in a Class 3 chase on May 17th, placed 2nd before that over hurdles at the same track on May 2nd. Player
- FOLLOW YOU – Finished 6th last time over 3600m at Auteuil in a Listed hurdle on May 30. More can be expected this time in calmer waters
- 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
- LILETTE – Placed 4th over 3800m in a Class 3 hurdle at Moulins on May 4th last time, 3rd in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil in October last year. One to pay attention to
- LIBERTY FLY – Recent win over 2800m at Vichy on the flat on May 24th, 3rd before that over hurdles on May 9th at Moulins in a Class 3 event. Look elsewhere
- LOUP BLOND – Ran well to be 2nd at Auteuil in a handicap hurdle over 3900m on April 9th. Ought to be involved in the shake-up
- 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.

- AZIMUTS – Ran well to be 2nd over 2400m at Compiegne in a conditions race on April 25th. Among the leading contenders
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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.

- RED NUREYEV – Creditable 6th last time at Strasbourg over 2000m in a Class 3 handicap on May 8th. Has work ahead to make the frame
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.

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.

- EXCALIBUR – Disappointing form this year and finished 9th in a handicap at Chantilly over 1200m on 12 May. Needs to find a few lengths to score
Summary: Noted twice over the winter, RED GUST (5) finished third in the key reference race at Chantilly on 14 April and is taken to get the nod. Narrowly beaten last time out, YAKFEEK (3) looks very close to a breakthrough win and rates the main danger. 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.

- CALIFORNIAGOLDRUSH – Not reliable and finished 8th in a handicap at Mons over 1550m on 11 April. Needs to do more to beat these rivals
- TWO TWO TWO – Not reliable and finished 6th in a handicap at Evreux over 1200m on 26 May. Capable of better and should be competitive this time around
- MEHANYDREAM – Has only been modest of late and finished 7th in a handicap at Evreux over 1200m on 26 May. Capable of better and could be a threat
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.

Summary: BELL SONG (4) is a very experienced filly having won six races including her penultimate start. If she repeats that effort, she can add to her winning tally at the All-weather track. 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.

- RASSENI CHOP – Post maiden effort can best be ignored when running 15th in a Handicap over 1200m at Chantilly on the 4th of May 2026. Can redeem himself here
- SUGARCANE – Inconsistent 12th in a Handicap over 1600m at Lyon Parilly on the 29th of April 2026. Erratic of late

- CHOCOLATE CHEETAH – Hearty 6th in a Handicap over 1200m at Saint-Cloud on the 22nd of May 2026. Will be fighting for the backend of quartets
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: HUGO CABRET (2) found success at the course and distance last time out breaking his maiden spell and he could be filled with confidence now in pursuit of following up on his victory. HEPBURN (1) is consistent as ever and if the top choice fluffs his lines, she looks worthy enough to take full advantage. BELLA CRACK (6) polished up into second last time out and deserves a mention as she is not without a fighting chance. PERSIANROMY (4) heads the rest.

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.

- ALEKSANDROVKA – Finished 4th over 2600m in a claimer on May 22nd at this track when last appearing. Needs to be more reliable
- JOJO FANTAISIE – Two placed runs of late, 2nd on the most recent over 2000m at Lyon Parilly in a claiming race on May 23rd. Can be effective on this surface
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.
LE LANDIN (2) looks the main danger after a respectable effort in a handicap at Lyon Parilly a fortnight ago. He handles this surface well. SCHACHEN (3) has filled a place on her last two starts, most recently at Parislongchamp nine days ago, and deserves respect once again.

- 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.
