R1 ENGHIEN [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DE LA GARE SAINT-LAZARE – 2150m (a1m1/4) – Class F Amateur Drivers – Harness – EUR € 12,000

  1. INDUCTIF – Ran 5th in a Mauquenchy amateurs Class F early last month following 4 straight eliminations. Is not the easiest to trust but on good behaviour can pick up a cheque
  2. INGLETON DE BRY – Has not been seen out since 2 January, and is new to Enghien, but is hard to knock when focused and at this level should take all the beating
  3. HYSIS VENESI – Useful mare that was given an easy return run at Caen 2 weeks ago. Will have improved for the race and the draw will do her first-5 prospects no disservice
  4. HONEY DE TOUCHYVON – Lost his way late last season and has picked up this term where he left off. Disregard
  5. JAMAICA D’OYSE – Has not put a foot wrong since early-May, including running 2nd in a similar event at Vincennes. Has a lot going for her here and will be reunited with Emilie Duperche. Place chance
  6. FRONSAC DE BOMO – Useful trotter with decent amateur references. Ran 4th 2 weeks ago in a Vincennes amateurs Class F and, reconfigured for the occasion, cannot be discounted
  7. KLARCK DE VANDEL – Tricky sort that got back in the game over course and distance 8 days ago. Starts in front and a repeat is not out of the question
  8. KATINA DE TOUSSAC – Ran 2nd over course and distance in mid-May, and most recently came 2nd in a Caen Class D. Breaks wide but is plainly in good condition and is eminently capable of contesting a place in the frame
  9. KIBORA BUISSONAY – Eliminated on re-entry across town on 16 June. Is no slouch when focused, will be barefoot, but still not easy to recommend
  10. JOCIE DU VILLARD – Got back in the game at Caen 9 days ago when 3rd in an amateurs Class G. Will not be available at 117-1 this time but will not be as competitive either
  11. JAZZ MELODY – Has done nothing noteworthy since coming 2nd in a Laval amateurs Class G on 11 March and will have few friends
    Summary: Although unraced since dominating a Cagnes Class F in early-January, INGLETON DE BRY (2) will be barefoot for the occasion, ran 2nd on his sole start in the amateur division, and may just be the one to beat. Sébastien Grisez will still be keeping a keen eye on KLARCK DE VANDEL (7) who still looks a leading contender despite inheriting success over course and distance last week, and KATINA DE TOUSSAC (8) who defied her odds at Caen recently. JAMAICA D’OYSE (5) has been excelling over recent weeks, sports modified shoeing, and from the 5 slot can get in on the action.
    SELECTIONS
    INGLETON DE BRY (2) – KLARCK DE VANDEL (7) – KATINA DE TOUSSAC (8) – JAMAICA D’OYSE (5)
    C2 – PRIX DE L’ARDECHE – 2875m (a2m) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 46,000
  12. NINA HAGEN – Has struggled over recent months but is plainly useful when focused, comes here fresh, and can figure prominently if she deigns to keep her action together
  13. NOTRE HISTOIRE – Has done nothing but impress this term, latterly 2nd in a Pontchateau Class D early last month. Alexis Collette has maintained faith and will be expected to finish close
  14. NALISMA – Failed to confirm account-opening Marseille victory when well-beaten in a Vincennes Class C a month ago and cannot be considered a player
  15. NEFERTITI – Reassuring 2nd in a 2150m Class D here last week. Takes on a superior bunch this time but will still have her supporters
  16. NONOLETA – Returns to a longer trip after coming 3rd in a 2175m Vincennes Class C a month ago. Is unlikely to get off the mark this time but can nevertheless challenge for a spot in first 5
  17. NASHIRA RUSCINO – Showed potential earlier in the year but has since come off the boil and can be ignored
  18. NOUMEA COCONUT – Consistently in the thick of things when focused. Was quickly eliminated last time out but showed her form all the same and, with application, can bring the fight to NOSTRA DEMONIA (9)
  19. NOBLESSE JISCE – In the frame in 3 of last 4, most recently 3rd in a 2175m Vincennes Class C a month ago. Sports 4 pads for the first time but others still easier to back
  20. NOSTRA DEMONIA – Winner of 2 for 2 prior to being beaten by an exceptional filly at Vincennes a fortnight ago. Looks the best horse in the field this time and Benjamin Rochard will be keen to prove the point
    Summary: Another interesting prospect from the Philippe Allaire yard, NOSTRA DEMONIA (9) was bested only by a classy filly at Vincennes 2 weeks ago, benefits from a super entry, and Benjamin Rochard can be confident of opening her Paris account. He will still want to be mindful of the tricky NOUMEA COCONUT (7) who ran 2nd here in April, and NOTRE HISTOIRE (2) who makes her debut in the capital with a good hand to play. The complicated NINA HAGEN (1) is still after that elusive first win and will be no easy touch if Paul Ploquin keeps her trotting.
    SELECTIONS
    NOSTRA DEMONIA (9) – NOUMEA COCONUT (7) – NOTRE HISTOIRE (2) – NINA HAGEN (1)
    C3 – PRIX DU PANTHEON – 2875m (a2m) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 46,000
  21. NICOU CHAK – Lost his maiden status at Reims in late-May but was unable to confirm at Vichy 3 weeks ago and can be ruled out
  22. NAPOLI DU BOUFFEY – Ran flattering 3rd of 3 finishers on re-entry in a Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago and can expect to have few takers
  23. NESQUIK DE BAFFAIS – Simply superb in all 3 starts to date. Returns to racing shod for his left-handed bow and is not incapable of making it a successful one
  24. NOURKIS – Has done nothing but improve over recent months, latterly getting off the mark in a Class D at Le Croise-Laroche on 20 May. Takes on a better lot this time but should take well to Enghien conditions and can play a small part
  25. NON STOP DE FOOT – Pulled up after blowing up in a Class B over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Performance should not be taken at face value and sporting pads for the first time could make all the difference
  26. NEMOS DU GOUTIER – Showed significant promise last season. Has a race under his belt, has been freshly re-shod, and enjoys a realistic chance of making the frame this time
  27. NOTTINGHAM FIRST – Had been on a good run of form before disappointing in last 2, latterly 6th in 13 June race of reference, and would be preferred competitively-shod
  28. NOBEL SPEED – Good future prospect that should not be too hastily-condemned for recent blip over course and distance. Anthony Barrier gets the nod this time and will be keen to take advantage of the good spare drive
  29. NEWTON ELLIS – Has not been seen out since being eliminated across town in February. Is being prepared for a return to the monte code and can be passed over
  30. NANTUS D’AVIGNERE – Got back in the game 2 weeks ago when 2nd in a Class D over the Vincennes inner course. Is new to Enghien but, with form maintained, can pick up some prizemoney
  31. NALIANO D’ECHAL – Scored better at Pontchâteau on 4 June than the winning margin would suggest. Can prove a handful but is plainly in fine shape and will be expected to contest a place on the podium
  32. NASH PERRINE – Has returned to competition more mature and in top form. Goes particularly well for his driver and will be well-backed to win this
    Summary: Winner of 2 in a row before producing a good run on his Vincennes bow, all with Franck Nivard reining, NASH PERRINE (12) returns to Enghien in excellent shape, enjoys a terrific entry, and can make this his own. The pair will still be opposed by NEMOS DU GOUTIER (6) who will be competitively-shod for the first time, and left-hand debutant NESQUIK DE BAFFAIS (3) who has done everything right to date. NALIANO D’ECHAL (11) has won 2 of his last 3 starts and will be configured as he was when easily imposing at Pontchâteau early last month.
    SELECTIONS
    NASH PERRINE (12) – NEMOS DU GOUTIER (6) – NESQUIK DE BAFFAIS (3) – NALIANO D’ECHAL (11)
    C4 – PRIX FLORENCE LECELLIER – 2875m (a2m) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 68,000
  33. JOSHUA PEJI – Never far from losing his action but has nevertheless been showing his form. Presents solid harness references and ran 3rd under these conditions earlier in the year. Place chance
  34. JAVANAIS DELO – Serious type for the most part but is still being conditioned and best to keep one’s powder dry
  35. GAMIN DES ISLES – Honest sort that ran 2nd last time here, and most recently made a good re-entry at Vincennes 10 days ago. Will have come on for the race and cannot be ruled out
  36. JET EXPRESS – Has been acquitting himself well in good company of late and even though having placed just once in 3 Enghien starts, he still looks the pick of the field
  37. IL VIENT DU LUDE – Has 3 times failed to confirm his April success but nevertheless held his own behind JET EXPRESS (4) 3.5 weeks ago and is unlikely to be far from the action
  38. IVRIG VIKING – Comfortable winner of a Vincennes Class C on 29 May. Has never delivered at Enghien but in current condition is hard to ignore
  39. INHERIT – Won a Vincennes Class D to kick off 2026 but has done nothing noteworthy since and is not about to create an upset
  40. ILEO PIERJI – Imposed at Cordemais in April but has yet to confirm. Was not disgraced at Laval early last month though and has already imposed at the venue
  41. JOY DU CARNOIS – 7th behind JET EXPRESS (4) at Le Croise-Laroche before romping at Eauze and is clearly the main danger
  42. JOUR DE FETE – Got the year off to a victorious start but form has since regressed, and represents no more than a minor place prospect
  43. HOVE PONT VAUTIER – Tricky trotter making his first appearance since January. Is barefoot for comeback but still not a concern
  44. GALION – No slouch on a good day but has had none of those so far this term and can be passed over
  45. INGRID TURGOT – Non partante
    Summary: JET EXPRESS (4) has been knocking at the door since returning to the track this spring, most recently giving a good account across town, and is thoroughly capable of imposing this time. He will still face opposition from JOY DU CARNOIS (9) who finished close to him at Le Croise-Laroche before securing a Class A on turf. JOSHUA PEJI (1) is never the easiest to handle but he is plainly in good shape and, with application, can finish close. IVRIG VIKING (6) made his way back into the winners’ circle at Vincennes in late-May, and the same caveat applies.
    SELECTIONS
    JET EXPRESS (4) – JOY DU CARNOIS (9) – JOSHUA PEJI (1) – IVRIG VIKING (6)
    C5 – PRIX DE LA PLACE SAINT-AUGUSTIN – 2150m (a1m1/4) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
  46. MILADY OF PARIS – Returns in race-mode following a well-earned break. David Thomain would have preferred a better draw but should still prove competitive when it counts
  47. MISSY DE JIEL – Lost her way late last season but has bags of ability. Is preparing for a monte campaign though and can be ignored
  48. MELODY MUSIC – In the frame in 2 of last 3, latterly runner-up in a Salon-de-Provence Class D on 21 May. Has been handed an excellent draw but in this company can expect to find the going tough
  49. MARISA DU CHATELET – Has not won for some time but otherwise always gives her best. Showed her form at Le Croise-Laroche but bites off more than she can chew this time
  50. MISS DE LA FERME – Failed to confirm 13 May performance when eliminated in a Vincennes Class D on 12 June. Breaks on front row though, with Mathieu Mottier in the bike, and should not be written off
  51. MOSTRA DE CHANLECY – Has done nothing but improve lately, most recently 3rd in a Vincennes Class D a month back, and from the front line can make her presence felt
  52. MELODY DELADOU – Starts for the first time since winning a Vincennes Class E in mid-April. Sports modified shoeing though and trainer Eric Letouzé clearly means business
  53. MONNAIE COURANTE – Has been acquitting herself respectably this term, although latest run was not up to par, and looks no more than a minor place chance
  54. MAYA D’AUBRIERE – Has been acquitting herself nicely over recent months but will need to show more than she did across town in mid-May
  55. MARQUISE DES ARRIS – Has turned a corner since being shod competitively. Presents solid left-handed references and the three-timer is well within her capability
  56. MARA DU SAPHIR – Put in a good showing across town on 6 June. She has no colts to deal with this time and Benjamin Rochard can be quietly confident of defying the draw and imposing
  57. MODE DU VALLON – Particularly disappointing since returning to competition in April and will have nothing to offer
  58. MOON DREAM – Reliability not her strong suit but is confirmed here, will appreciate returning to a flat surface, and can make first 5
    Summary: Up against colts for the first time, and racing left-handed for the first time, MARA DU SAPHIR (11) held her own at Vincennes early last month, and a similar performance would see her win this. MARQUISE DES ARRIS (10) is no better off beside her but she makes her Enghien bow on a hat-trick and can remain unbeaten in her current configuration. On the rail, but still on the front line, MILADY OF PARIS (1) is barefoot for her return to competition and on good behaviour is unlikely to be far off the mark. MELODY DELADOU (7) is also making her re-entry but has form at the venue and the new formula may be just the ticket.
    SELECTIONS
    MARA DU SAPHIR (11) – MARQUISE DES ARRIS (10) – MILADY OF PARIS (1) – MELODY DELADOU (7)
    C6 – PRIX DE LA MADELEINE – 2875m (a2m) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 46,000
  59. MONACO – Useful trotter but has not been seen out since December and is going to need the run
  60. MESSINA – Quality filly that failed to deliver in race of reference. Will be shod this time and can be ruled out
  61. MARADONA ELLIS – Has yet to impress since returning from his winter break. Has a particular liking for the venue but will first need to re-establish his credentials
  62. MILA DES COUPERIES – Showed serious class as a 3yo. Will be fully-fit by now, has been re-shod for the first time, and will be competitive for a place in the picture
  63. MOHAWK – Sprang a 38-1 surprise when 3rd behind MARILYN MONROE (8) in a Vichy Class B mid-June, although confirmation seems unlikely
  64. MONTEQUILLO – Oddly below-par 13 behind METIDJA (12) in a 2700m Vincennes Class B in late-May. Has previously won for Paul Ploquin and will be expected to finish in the mix
  65. MONSIEUR AS – Can trot but is not the most reliable and will need to show improvement on latest 6th in race of reference
  66. MARILYN MONROE – Returns to racing left-handed after coming 2nd in a Vichy Class B mid-June. Is barefoot once again but represents a first-5 chance at best
  67. MACHIAVEL BOURBON – By no means disgraced when 5th to a good colt in a Class A over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Anthony Barrier in the bike this time and can be assured a competitive drive
  68. MILTON DU NOYER – Easily won over shorter here on 18 April, then confirmed across town on re-entry 2.5 weeks ago, and looks set to take all the beating
  69. MISTER BARRA – Sent for a rest after losing his way earlier in the year. Stays shod for comeback and best to hold off
  70. METIDJA – Acquits herself respectably for the most part and ran surprise 4th in a 2700m Vincennes Class B on 29 May. Is unlikely to repeat but is unlikely to be available at 50-1 either
  71. MALIUM – Takes first Enghien steps after winning a 2700m Vincennes Class B on 13 May. Comes here fresh and, considering the entry, will be no pushover
    Summary: An absolute dynamo that has secured 6 of the 7 races he has run, MILTON DU NOYER (10) has not tasted defeat this season and is unlikely to this time either. MALIUM (13), however, has won 3 of the last 4 races he has finished and benefits from an excellent engagement. Competitively-shod following a pair of conditioners, MILA DES COUPERIES (4) has already imposed over course and distance and is unlikely to disappoint at the business end of the race. MONTEQUILLO (6) is better than his latest run would suggest and should be taken seriously.
    SELECTIONS
    MILTON DU NOYER (10) – MALIUM (13) – MILA DES COUPERIES (4) – MONTEQUILLO (6)
    C7 – PRIX JOURNAL WEEK-END (PLACE TROCADERO) – 2875m (a2m) – Class D – Mounted – EUR € 59,000
  72. MOST WANTED PK – Useful dual-discipline type that recently imposed under harness at Gelsenkirchen but in this company will have too much to do
  73. DAMISELA – Made up for Le Croise-Laroche sanction when 3rd in a Chartres Class F 2 weeks ago. Seldom disappoints with Paul Ploquin and is confirmed under these conditions. Place chance
  74. IL TROTTE JARL – Modest element that has done nothing of note for some time and is not about to change his ways
  75. JUNIOR BERDIERE – Has shown improvement lately, most recently coming 3rd, a place behind JAZZY THOURJAN (8), in a Caen Class D a fortnight ago, but is taking on too much this time
  76. JASMINE DE NEUVY – Showed her form despite losing her action in a Class D over track and trip on 23 May. Comes here fresh and, if focused, can return to triumphant ways
  77. MISTER INVICTUS – Moderate sort that was eliminated on re-entry at Vincennes 2 months ago. Has previously imposed under the saddle here but is still not an obvious choice
  78. JOSS AIMEF – Has yet to disappoint in this branch of the business. Beaten only by a very good horse last time out, he will be expected to contest the finish on this occasion. Chance
  79. JAZZY THOURJAN – In the frame in 3 of last 4 starts, latterly 2nd in a Caen Class D mid-June. In better company on this occasion but should nevertheless hold his own
  80. IBIS DE CHAHAINS – Not the easiest to use but ran 2nd here in late-May. Is never far from faulting but can play a role if he keeps his action together
  81. IROKO DU LOIR – Serious individual that lost his action on comeback at Nantes a month back. Goes as well left-handed as right- and won his only start at the venue. Attention
    Summary: JASMINE DE NEUVY (5) secured the double earlier in the year when imposing under these conditions, and could well have finished 2nd last time out had she not faulted in the latter stages. She is a tough nut to crack when applied and Camille Levesque will be eager to set the record straight. She can nonetheless expect resistance from the dependable JOSS AIMEF (7) who is clearly close to winning his 3rd of the year, and the wonderfully-engaged IROKO DU LOIR (10) who will have come on for his re-entry race. DAMISELA (2) got back in the game at Chartres and should again figure prominently.

    C8 – PRIX DE LA TOUR EIFFEL – 2150m (a1m1/4) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 46,000
  82. KLASSICA BLEUE – Won a Class D over track and trip on 23 May but was eliminated in next 2. Will be shod as she was that day though and can play an important role if she gets off on the right foot
  83. KAISER DES GRANGES – Has placed just twice in 9 starts this term and can be confidently passed over
  84. KYNTE FLUSH – Made up for May elimination when 3rd to KATIA DHELPA (6) in a Laval Class E a month ago. Imposed last time under these conditions and on good behaviour can pick up another cheque
  85. LEGACY JIEL – Has gone from strength to strength this spring, most recently 3rd in a 2875m Class B over course and distance on 13 June. Is unlikely to repeat but is well-placed behind the car and the entry will only work in his favour
  86. LIKE YOU – Got back to winning ways at Ecommoy in late-May before running 5th behind LEGACY JIEL (4) in race of reference. Is unlikely to repeat but will be freshly reconfigured and the draw will do her prospects no disservice
  87. KATIA DHELPA – Lacklustre 6th to KLASSICA BLEUE (1) in a Class D over track and trip on 23 May before winning a Laval Class E on 3 June. Is not a priority but starts in front and can get a look in
  88. LE GRAAL – Unable to secure the hat-trick when suffering interference over 2875m here on 13 June. Is clearly in rude health however and should make amends if kept out of trouble
  89. KISS ATOUT – Has done nothing but improve over recent weeks, latterly romping in a Caen Class D Quinte, and despite the wide draw still looks a serious proposition
  90. LOVEBIRD – Put on a good show to run 3rd in a Class C over course and distance on 23 May. Not ideally-drawn but in present shape is easy to like for a place in the frame
  91. LOVE GLYCINES – Has struggled somewhat over recent months, latterly pulled up in race of reference, and is not about to spice things up
  92. LARIANO – Got back in the winners’ circle across town 3.5 weeks ago when comfortably securing a Class C. Will be similarly-shod and, with form maintained, can finish in the mix
  93. LARIFLETTE – Took no time returning to the winners’ enclosure, winning a Le Croise-Laroche Class D on re-entry 9 days ago. In this company though, a repeat seems unlikely
  94. LOVING DREAM – Has been on a decent run of form but is not as competitively-shod this time, and the draw only compounds matters
  95. LAMONT DU DOUET – Kicked the year off nicely but has subsequently come off the boil and will first need to reassure
  96. LE CASHMAKER – Imposed at Marseille-Borely before coming 6th in 13 June race of reference, and will need to find more
    Summary: Back at the top of his game this spring, LE GRAAL (7) did not enjoy the best of luck here 2.5 weeks ago but he presents solid Enghien credentials, breaks in front, and has every chance of imposing. That being said, KISS ATOUT (8) trounced the opposition at Caen 3 weeks ago and starts just upside. Third over course and distance in late-May, LOVEBIRD (9) has pulled a less-favourable number this time but still represents a decent place chance. Sixth to him that day before winning at Vincennes a fortnight later, LARIANO (11) merits respect, but he may first have to see off the delicate but recent course-and-distance winner, KLASSICA BLEUE (1).

    R3 NANTES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX JULES VERNE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 14,400

  1. GOOD BOY – Ran 8th in a Conditions race over 1350m at Cholet on 1 June. Drops in class and is expected to be competitive
  2. CHACHA REAL SMOOTH – Finished 5th in a Conditions race over 1350m at Lyon Parilly on 2 June. He has run well enough in all of his races so far and from No 1 draw dropping to a Claimer, could be good enough to crack a win
  3. GOLDEN RUN – Unraced 2yo gelding by Goken out of Highest Honor mare Santa Louisia trained by Thibault Speicher. Half-brother to Duke Of Dundee who placed in a Gr3 in Qatar
  4. THE BLACK FRIDAY – A moderate 8th in a Conditions race over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on 12 June. He was narrowly beaten by GOOD BOY (1) at La Teste in May and with Maxime Guyon up this time deserves respect
  5. GOLDY GLORY – Well beaten in a Conditions race over 1350m at Cholet on 1 June. She found betting support on that debut run but missed the start and ended up too far back early in the race. She must be better than that run
  6. THE BROTHER – Showed improvement when 4th in a Claimer over 1400m at Nantes on 6 June. Blinkers appeared to do the trick for him last time and he should well again
  7. KASA AMORE – Unraced 2yo filly by Anodin out of Galiway mare Galaway trained by Mathieu Pelletan. Mare’s first foal to race and has been supplemented into this race
  8. ULTIMO MINUTO – Did not show much in a Claimer over 1400m at Nantes on 16 June. He has been disappointing but will be fitted with blinkers this time and hopefully that will bring him on
  9. MORO NAABA – A tailed off last of 11 runners in a Claimer over 1400m at La Teste on 26 June. His jockey reported that his mount did not corner very well and he struggled to keep him on a straight line. Should improve on that effort
  10. MERCI AGATHE – Finished a 5.5-length 4th in a Claimer over 1100m at Salon Provence on 17 June. There were only 5 runners in that field so he will need to up his game
    Summary: This is not the strongest of races but it could go the way of CHACHA REAL SMOOTH (2) who has performed well enough in his three races against stronger. Dropping in class and jumping from No 1 draw could give him the edge. GOOD BOY (1) won his penultimate start in a Claimer in May and is well drawn. A close second behind him in that win was THE BLACK FRIDAY (4) who now has Maxime Guyon, up. GOLDY GLORY (5) struggled at the start on debut and should come on from there.

    C2 – PRIX JEAN-BAPTISTE SAULOU – 3100m (a2m) – TURF – Condition – Flat – EUR € 10,000
  11. MAGIE DU ROY – Well beaten when 5th in a Conditions race over 3100m at Corlay on 7 June and will need to find more but could place
  12. MONTVALEZAN – Finished 4th in a Conditions race over this course and distance on 16 June. He is one of the most experienced runners in this race and could well place
  13. MERISIER ROUGE – A mediocre 6th in a Conditions race over 3100m at Niort on 20 June. Does look held by a number of others on that run
  14. MESSIDOR – A decent 4th in a Conditions race over 3100m at Niort on 20 June. Did finish 3.5 lengths behind MY BEST VOW (7) but could well place
  15. MOANA DE KARANTEZ – A close-up 3rd in a Conditions race over 2400m at Craon on 4 June. She was doing her best work last and should be even better over this longer trip
  16. MOLLY DE GASCOGNE – Not beaten far when 5th in a Conditions race over 2400m at Croan on 4 June. Had MOANA DE KARANTEZ (5) narrowly in front of her and is another who will do better over this distance
  17. MY BEST VOW – Narrowly beaten when 3rd in a Conditions race over 3100m at Niort on 20 June. That was a promising debut effort and there should be a lot more to come
  18. MAGALEN – Did not show much when 9th in a Conditions race over 3100m at Niort on 20 June. He could improve on that debut effort but does look held by others
  19. MAMAOUTE – A moderate 6th in Conditions race over 2300m at Angers on 22 September. Will need to improve to feature
  20. MALKO SECRET – Unraced 4yo gelding by Agent Secret out of Passing Sale mare Quisiera trained by Eric Leray. Dam has produced two winners so far
  21. MONSIEUR SUN – Unraced 3yo gelding by Ivanhowe out of Al Namix mare Cassora trained by Daniele Mele. Dam’s first foal to race but comes from a potent stable and needs to be respected
  22. MALIKA DES PLANS – Unraced 4yo filly by Karaktar out of Al Mix mare Alicante De La See trained by Louisa Carberry. Only raced foal has three wins and three places in steeplechase racing
  23. MILS BAM’S – Unraced 3yo filly by Chanducoq out of Clety mare Urkashe trained by Eric Lecoiffier. Dam’s only other foal to race is a two-time winner
    Summary: There is some strong form in this race with MY BEST VOW (7) standing out as the runner to beat after an excellent debut run when narrowly beaten. She has been supplemented into this race. MOANA DE KARANTEZ (5) ran third over shorter last time and should benefit from the longer trip. Unraced MONSIEUR SUN (11) comes from a strong stable while MESSIDOR (4) looks a promising place prospect.

    C3 – DERBY DE L’OUEST – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 1 – Flat – EUR € 27,400
  24. HANAMOUR – A poor 7th in a Maiden over 2400m at this course on 16 June. Both runs to date have been disappointing and is unlikely to feature
  25. VAN BLUTCH – A close 2nd in a Conditions race over 2400m at Saint-Cloud on 12 June. He is in good form and runs well at this course. Looks the one to beat
  26. MICKAEL D’OO – A 3.5-length 3rd in a Conditions race over 2300m at Le Mans on 20 March. Had a good win on debut and came back well from a break
  27. ANODIAC – A well-beaten 4th in a Conditions race over this course and distance on 29 May. He does look outclassed but could place if one of the others makes an error
  28. TICKEA – Winner of a Maiden over 2500m at Argentan on 10 June. That was a comfortable win but she will now face stronger
    Summary: VAN BLUTCH (2) looks ready to put it all together and notch up another victory in this Derby de l’Ouest. The biggest threat is likely to come from MICKAEL D’OO (3) who was a winner on debut and followed up with a promising third place. This race could be his mission. TICKEA (5) comes off a maiden win but will be seriously challenged in this race, while ANODIAC (4) will need the others to mess up in order to feature.

  29. MEDITERRANEA BLUES – A competitive 6th in a Handicap over 2500m at Saint-Cloud on 24 April. He jumps from No 1 draw which should put him in the mix
  30. AGELKA – A strong 3rd in a Handicap over 2400m at Craon on 4 June. A runner she beat has come out to win so that looks a decent form line
  31. KAPTAIN NORDIK – Never in it when 15th in a Handicap over 2400m at Croan on 4 June. That was disappointing but he is better than that run may suggest
  32. GREYMARA – A close-up 4th in a Handicap over 2400m at ParisLongchamp on 1 June. That was an excellent performance in a decent field and he need only repeat that run to be a massive contender
  33. RAIATEA – A poor 11th in a Claimer over 2400m at ParisLongchamp on 11 June. Could find herself out of her depth in this line-up
  34. TWIN DOVER –
  35. HISTOIREDEMARS – Finished 8th in a Handicap over 2400m at Croan on 4 June. Ran behind AGELKA (2) but Maxime Guyon will be in the irons this time, so beware
  36. ROYALE WELLS – A decent 6th in a Handicap over 3000m at ParisLongchamp on 4 June. Would prefer further but a strong pace could see him running at them late
  37. OBJECTIVE ONE – Not beaten far when 5th in a Handicap over 2400m at Craon on 4 June. She has shown she can be competitive at this level
  38. COURTING – Was 12th in a Handicap over this course and distance on 12 November. Form is not great and he is coming back from a layoff
  39. MY DARLING – Showed up well when 5th in a Handicap over 2400m at Toulouse on 27 May. Will have more to do but could run into a place
  40. BAKHCHISARAY – Was well beaten when 5th in a Handicap over 2500m at Argentan on 10 June. Will have to up his game to be competitive
  41. AMKAR – Finished 12th in a Handicap over 2400m at Craon on 4 June. Looks unlikely to trouble this field
    Summary: Supplemented GREYMARA (4) has the form to win a race of this nature and was, in fact, unlucky last time as he was unable to get a gap at a vital moment. This could be his day. AGELKA (2) comes off what looks to be decent form line but will be making her debut at this track. HISTOIREDEMARS (7) finished behind her but is better off at the weights and will have Maxime Guyon up. OBJECTIVE ONE (9) proved she could hold her own in a field of this standard.

    Summary: IN THE ARMY NOW (9) won supremely won last time out and could easily go back to back with her confidence booming. TIMBER LIGHT (1) is holding steady form at present and ticks all the right boxes to challenge strongly here. SCAT LADY (12) has been close up in recent races and should deliver another solid performance here. ERIDITA DOVER (14) returned to best form with a gutsy win and shouldn’t be far off the main bunch.

ZAURA (5) is better than her latest run and is another who will appreciate being back in maiden company. She should have a say in the outcome.

    Summary: TOOCOOLFORSCHOOL (5) needs t be forgiven for an under par latest effort and when judged on prior form, she ticks a few boxes so can run a bold race in search of another win this year. BEAUTIFOAL (3) showed up very well last time out and with a repeat performance, she should be involved once again. GALIK (6) and EL MEASTRO (2) both find themselves sliding down in the ratings and are off the right mark to challenge strongly so are difficult to ignore.

    Summary: KEANU (1) ran a super race against stronger last time out and will love the drop in class and despite the big weight, he will go very well. CROWDFUNDING (2) finished just behind the top pick at his most recent run and there shouldn’t be a lot to choose between the two of them. He is yet to win this year but will be a major threat. GREAT ART (3) returned to best form with a pleasing win and he demands the utmost of respect again. NIPPE DE STAR (9) hasn’t been far off them lately and can deliver another competitive effort.

MANARAH EL IZZ (2), who was fifth that day, is expected to improve on what was an encouraging debut. ATHENA (4) should come on for her latest start and can be more competitive, while MISS DES VIALETTES (5) is also worth a mention.

  14. SARMAD – Colt by Wooded, the dam won 1 race. Nice pedigree and worth watching in the betting for any market support
  15. EL LAGAR – Colt by City Light, the dam ran twice. Can improve for this debut run unless the betting market says otherwise
  16. GALAYO – Colt by The Grey Gatsby, the dam never raced. Stable runners tend to improve for a run or two and he is best watched for now
  17. WAL HUNTER’S – Colt by Hunter’s Light, the dam ran once on the flat. Likely to improve for this run and is best watched for now
  18. DREAMS CHOPE – Filly by Gutaifan, the dam won 2 races. Looks good on paper and she is one to consider if the betting market is positive
  19. ALYA CHOPE – Filly by Gutaifan, the dam was placed a few times. Can improve for this run and is one to watch with the future in mind
  20. FRISSONANTE – Filly by Cracksman, the dam won 1 race. Looks good on paper and she is worth a market inspection on her first day at school
  21. GOSEA – Filly by Goken, the dam never raced in France. Nice profile and can be expected to know what is required on her racecourse bow

    Summary: LUDWIG (2) has solid claims of getting off the mark. He has been knocking at the door with two second place efforts and deserves success. His main threat could be GOSEA (14), who has a nice profile and comes from a stable that does well with newcomers. ORANGETTE (5) showed improvement to be fourth last time and can make the frame. FRISSONANTE (13) appeals on her pedigree and is one to consider on her racecourse bow.

  33. KIMFLY – Placed 2nd last time over 3650m at Mont-De-Marsan in a handicap hurdle on March 12. Might need a few to misfire

    Summary: MR DIAFOIRUS (8) impressed when scoring with authority over 3600m in a handicap hurdle at Auteuil in mid-June and looks capable of following up under James Reveley. His main danger could be RISK DU BRIZAIS (5), who bolted up by ten lengths in a divided handicap at Dieppe when last seen in mid-June. KING D’ALENE (7) appeals as a solid each-way proposition, while PINK PERSEVERANCE (9) has been in good form and cannot be ruled out of the placings.

    Summary: SALIMA NOUR GRINE (5) made a promising start to her career when finishing second over a slightly longer trip at this track in May. The drop back in distance should hold no fears, and she is taken to go one better. SI CHIC AL MAURY (8) has an appealing pedigree and is expected to be well prepared for her racecourse debut. ANTAAR (3) showed talent on the sole start at this track in May and can be sharper for that outing. JARASH (4) looks best of the remainder.

  48. TIME IS MONEY – Ran with promise to be 6th over 3400m in a hurdle race at Clairefontaine on June 24. Ought to be thereabouts
  49. EL PROFESSOR – Several unplaced runs, the latter over 3400m at Clairefontaine in a hurdle on June 24. Has to show a good deal more to be involved
  50. KA ZAR – Five unplaced runs, the latter over 3400m in a claiming hurdle at Dieppe on June 10. Faces a stiff task
    Summary: ROYAL MARVEL (1) has been placed on his last three starts, most recently when runner-up at Dax in early June over hurdles, and looks ready to shed his maiden tag. SARALD (2) is the obvious danger as he bids for a hat-trick after his latest success at Jallais over hurdles in mid-June and continues to improve. DON DINO (4) has an appealing profile on paper and is worth considering on his racecourse debut. TIME IS MONEY (5) completes the shortlist.

  52. DON NICOLAS – Several unplaced runs recently , the latter over 1400m at Toulouse in a Class 4 claimer on June 8. Seems of limited talent
  53. SEVEN FOR ALL – Has not featured in all five runs this year, the latter over 1600m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 3 handicap on April 27. Others make more appeal
  54. YACHT SHOW – Placed on three of the latest four runs, the latter over 2100m at Dax on May 18 in a conditions race. Player
  55. HURRICANGO – Nice effort two runs back when 2nd over 2100m at Angers on May 2 in a conditions race. One to pay close attention
  56. PIRAILLAN – Placed on the last two runs, the latter over 2100m at Dax in a conditions race on May 18. Ought to be thereabouts
  57. GOUVERNE – Fair 2nd two runs back at Royan over 2900m on May 8. Not disgraced last time and can be considered each-way
  58. JUST FOR GAB’S – Two unplaced runs since a 3rd in April over 2000m in a Class 4 handicap on April 19. Has work to do to be involved
    Summary: GRAN HABANO (1) can bounce back to form after a few unplaced efforts in handicaps of late. He posted some respectable placed performances earlier this year and gets the nod over HURRICANGO (5), who finished a solid second in a conditions race at Angers two starts ago in early May. GOUVERNE (7) arrives with recent placed form at Royan and has solid claims of finishing in the first three. YACHT SHOW (4) appeals as the best of the remainder and cannot be ruled out.

  60. MOUJIBA AL CHAM – Showed some talent when 8th over 1800m in a conditions race at Langon-Libourne on the only start on June 19. Can be opposed
  61. NETRA DE FAUST – Finished 6th on the one run over 2000m at Toulouse in a conditions race on May 27. Has to improve to be involved

  63. SHEHANA – Unraced filly by Al Mamun Monalu, the dam never raced. Stable runners tend to improve for a run or two and she is best watched for now
  64. AYLA – Unraced filly by Al Mourtajez, the dam was placed once. Her trainer can ready one to strike on debut and the betting can be the best guide
  65. COCO – Filly by Gazwan, the dam won 1 race. From a good stable that knows the time of day and she is worth a market check
  66. SHATOUSH – Unraced filly by Af Mathmoon, the dam won 1 race and was placed Group PA races in the UAE. Nice profile and from a good stable. One to monitor in the betting for clues
  67. GINA DU SOLEIL – Unraced filly by Mister Ginoux, the dam won 1 race. Her trainer can produce first time out winners and the betting should be the most informative guide
  68. DESTINY – Filly by Sivit Al Maury, the dam was placed twice. Can be expected to need this run for experience and others rate higher
  69. ALMAHA – Filly by Al Mourtajez, the dam ran twice. Stable runners are respected on debut and this filly is one to keep a close eye on in the betting market
  70. SHAKIRAH – Unraced filly by Mister Ginoux, the dam ran a few times. Her trainer does well with newcomers and she is worth watching for any market moves
  71. SHALIMAH – Filly by Muraaqib, the dam won 3 races. Some good aspects to her profile and she is one to pay close attention to in the betting exchanges
  72. ANKAA AL CHAM – Filly by Al Mouwaffak, the dam was placed once. One to monitor in the betting for any market support
  73. KHAWLAH – Filly by Mahabb, the dam never raced. From a respected trainer. Nice profile and she can be involved at the business end
  74. NOUHA – Filly by Raaziq, the dam never raced. Stable runners are not renowned for first time out winners and she is best watched with the future in mind
    Summary: With the majority of the field making their racecourse debuts, it may pay to side with ALMAHA (11), who is expected to be well prepared by her astute trainer. She gets the narrow vote over KHAWLAH (15), who boasts an appealing pedigree and should also be ready to make a bold first impression. BALSAM (4) and AYLA (6) both have attractive profiles and warrant close attention, especially if they attract strong support in the betting.

  77. LEBANDACARL – Has been absent since a fall at Auteuil over 4400m in a Class 2 chase on November 23. Good placed form over hurdles and can get off the mark
  78. PLEIN SUD – Placed 4th on the last run over 3700m at Sable-Sur-Sarthe in a Class 5 hurdle on May 31. Needs a few to misfire
  79. LOCCA DE THAIX – Finished 5th last time over 3500m at Moulins in a Class 3 hurdle on May 9. Lightly raced and warrants respect
  80. LADY DE MONTOT – Not seen since a win over 2450m at Cluny in a flat race on October 5 2024. Should be well schooled and fitness is a slight worry, but she can be involved
    Summary: LEBANDACARL (3) has been off the track since falling in a Class 2 chase at Auteuil last November, but he is expected to be fit enough to make a winning return. He had produced several solid placed efforts over hurdles prior to that outing. LADY DE MONTOT (6) signed off with a victory on the Flat in October 2024 and should be well schooled for her hurdling debut, with fitness taken on trust. GINO’S LINE (2) has useful hurdling form to his name but also returns from a lengthy absence and commands respect.

  84. EL TELENO – Colt on debut by Marianafoot, the dam won 2 races in Spain. Likely to need this racecourse bow and others preferred
  85. CHARMINGSTAR – Gelding by Gutaifan, the dam won 4 races. Tough task on his debut against some useful types and he is best watched for the time being
  86. APPEN – Fair 3rd last time over this track and trip behind ASKAM CHOPE (3) in a Class 3 race on June 3. Has place claims
    Summary: WITCHWAY (1) has shown plenty of ability in three career starts, most recently when finishing fourth in a Listed contest at Vichy in May. He sets the standard and can prove too strong for the main danger, ASKAM CHOPE (3), who impressed when winning by three lengths on her debut over this course and distance early last month. JUMBOTRON (2) also scored over this track and trip last month and is open to further progress. APPEN (6) finished third behind ASKAM CHOPE (3) last time and heads the rest.

  91. NPEDOR DE BOZOULS – Colt by Al Mourtajez, the dam , ran twice. Stable runners are not renowned for producing many first time out winners and others seem more likely
  92. SEA DAY – Colt on debut by Sivit Al Maury, the dam was placed a few times. Stable runners tend to need a run or two to reach fitness and he is best watched for now
  93. NEIRAN DU SOLEIL – Colt by Nieshan, the dam ran once. Can improve for this outing unless the betting vibes are lively

  95. DAWWAAS – Colt by Dahess, the dam won 3 races including 2 Group 1 PA races and a Group 2 PA race. Taking pedigree and a bold show can be expected on debut
    Summary: DAWWAAS (9) is out of a top-class performer that won twice in Group 1 PA class and his astute trainer will have him ready to play a lead role on his racecourse bow. ADIL (3) can also be expected to have a say. He is out of a top-class mare that won five Group 1 PA races and he will know what is required on debut. NOTABLE DE L’AIGLE (8) and DURGHAM (2) both have choice pedigree’s and are worth a market check for clues.

  106. ROSE DE BOSDA AA – Creditable effort to be 5th last time over 2400m at Toulouse in a conditions race on May 27. Capable of being competitive
    Summary: FRANCE ANGLO’JAC AA (1) produced a solid effort when finishing fourth in a conditions race at Toulouse on May 27 and looks capable of returning to winning form. His main danger could be EDANTZA AA (3), who has been in good form recently and finished a close second in the same race. CHARLIE DE LA BRUNIE AA (2) was third in that contest and should once again have a major say in the outcome. ROSE DE BOSDA AA (11) appeals as the best of the remainder.

    Summary: FRODON DU PECOS AA (7) made a pleasing return from a layoff when finishing second to MANESKIN DA CLODIA AA (8) at Toulouse in late May. He is expected to be sharper for that outing and can reverse the form. MANESKIN DA CLODIA AA (8) arrives in good form and should once again make the selection work hard.

    Summary: The Duvaldestin stable relies solely on Nash du Campus (6) for this meeting. Entrusted to Matthieu Abrivard, he is expected to remain unbeaten after four starts! There is, however, solid opposition, including Nelson du Caieu (4), who continues to improve. Niehku (5) is ultra-consistent and will not go down easily. Neuvaine (10), the only filly in the field remains in good form and could make the frame.

Natsuko de Nappes (3) made a mistake at the road crossing on debut at Nîmes but has since shown clear ability. Naomie Ludoise (13) and Nyala du Bouillon (12) should be able to build on their encouraging first outings and are also capable of being competitive in this open looking contest

    Summary: A well-filled and open mounted race brings the meeting to a close. Imelda (15) and Icare Williams (16) are the class acts of the field and could fight out the finish. However, they will face strong opposition from the front row, notably Ilex de Cabert (5), who has been faultless, and Battuta Face (4), who has quickly adapted to French racing.
