Summary: LHASA (10) has been an absolute model of consistency and would be deserving off another win. She is holding form and rates the one to beat. NEW TOWN (8) just found one too good last time out and with a repeat performance, she should be bang there at the finish. RIVER DAVEN (2) landed the spoils in nice style when beating the top pick last time out and should have every chance of confirming the form despite finding himself 2.5kgs worse off at the weights. LADIVA (12) finished behind a couple of these but wasn’t disgraced and should be involved here.

Summary: NEBUCHADNASSER (7) has steadily built on his form this year and ticks all the right boxes. He appears to be ready to win and should run a huge race. CLOUD MAN (9) has been in consistent form since the start of the year and to continues to keep supporters interested. He will be bang there once more. TOP GLORY (8) was a winner two starts back and that level of form will be good enough to see him challenging strongly here.

Summary: HUTTON (15) arrives in terrific form having won his last three races and won with quite a bit in hand last time out. He gets the services of a rider who knows him well and he could be tough to beat. SIR GARSING (1) is running very well at present having won two starts back and could be the biggest threat to the top choice here.

Summary: GOLDEN BEACH (8) has been close up at his last two and is ideally placed to potentially get his first win for the year. LOOK OF CECCA (15) just found one too good last time out and with some weight off the back and a neat draw, he should be in the firing line. MAGIC TUNIS (10) is far better than his latest outing and can show a form return here. One to include. CATHERINE’S GIFT (4) is in consistent form at present and should be very dangerous here.

Summary: This second division looks far from straightforward. A strong finisher in two runs on the downhill track, BLANC CARAT (1) will have an extra 200 metres to make his effort count this time. ROMAN BOY (10) caused a major upset last time and will attempt to confirm that performance. WATERFALL BLUES (4) has been disappointing in his last two outings but still warrants respect, with a favourable draw SORAYA (2) could prove to be the improver.

Summary: Very disappointing in a major handicap at Compiègne, DEUX PONTS (6) finds a good opportunity to redeem himself here. He should make a bold bid at victory. MEFIE TOI (1) and HERCULE STAR (2) both performed well over this course and distance on 4 June. and look the main dangers to that rivals. NUEVO QUARTZ (4) drops in class and deserves a measure of respect over a course and distance that suits,

Summary: Sixth at a higher level in Toulouse two runs ago, KOMET CHOP (9) has since finished runner-up in a competitive handicap at Saint-Cloud. Barring any mishap, he should be fighting for victory alongside MELUSINE DU HOULEY (8), who was narrowly denied last time out. HONEY PEARL (14) has seen her weight situation improve and is well positioned at the lower end of the handicap so could be a threat. BON VIVEUR (2), flawless since his debut and likely primed for this race is another to consider.

Summary: Unlucky on his seasonal return at Nancy, USER AMISTOSO (5) looks a very solid proposition here, especially as he has an excellent understanding with Cristian Demuro. DRUIDE (3) is enjoying a fine spell of form and, if the race is run at a good tempo, should once again finish strongly. At his best, LE ROI LEON (1) holds a leading chance, while LALOU (8) could make the most of his weight advantage.

Summary: LIGHT OF THUNDER (4) has just shown she possesses the stamina required to excel over longer distances. She will need to keep a close eye on the “Graffard” runner MOONEY VISION (1), who appears to be on the upgrade. Thriving at present, RUSH TO WAIT (3) will attempt to complete a hat-trick of wins. The connections of STRATOVULCANO (2) are trying something new by significantly stepping him up in trip—it’s likely to be all or nothing.

C1 – PRIX DE LA CHANOISSE – 3600m (a2m1/4) – TURF – Class 3 – Hurdles – EUR € 24,000

HACKER DU BERLAIS – Ran well to be 3rd last time over 3800m at Dieppe in a handicap hurdle on June 18. Can gain another success
INTIME WILD – Placed on the last two runs, 4th on the most recent over 3800m at Fontainebleau in a Class 3 hurdle on March 29. Can make his presence felt
SPEED EMILE – Recent win over 4600m in a Grade 2 chase at Merano (ITA) on May 24. Useful operator that has leading claims
COLOR RITANO – Finished 5th last time over 3800m at Segre on June 7 in a Class 4 chase. 2nd twice in hurdles earlier this year. Outside place contender
LE SEUM – 5th on his second run at Moulins on May 25, a win before that over 3700m at Jallais on May 3 in a Class 5 hurdle. In the mix
JOKING – Finished 3rd on the last run over 4500m at Le Dorat in a Class 5 cross-country on August 9, 2025. Likely to need this run after a layoff
KIWIDOR – Recent 5th on the latest start over 3900m in a claiming chase at Gemozac on June 7. Can be be avoided
SECRET D’ETE – Two unplaced runs, the latter over 3800m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on April 22 in a Class 2 handicap 2024. Hard to recommend
HUNBEUR – Unplaced last time, 3rd previously over 3600m at Meral in a Class 5 chase on April 26. Looks vulnerable
Summary: SPEED EMILE (3) is a talented performer over both hurdles and fences. He was last seen landing a Grade 2 chase at Merano in late May and should have no difficulty reverting to hurdles. He is taken to account for HACKER DU BERLAIS (1), who ran a creditable third in a handicap hurdle at Dieppe in mid-June. INTIME WILD (2) also merits serious consideration and is capable of playing a leading role, while LE SEUM (5) completes the shortlist.

NOBODY DE CHOISEL – Placed 3rd on the second start on the flat in a maiden race at Savenay on May 24 over 2100m. Hurdles debut and is one to consider each-way
PINZOLO – Gelding by Jeu St Eloi, the dam won 1 race on the flat. James Reveley booked to ride catches the attention and this newcomer should know what is required on his debut
KARANTE NEUF TROIS – Gelding by Magic Dream, the dam won 3 races on the flat. Likely to improve for this run unless the betting vibes are positive
NOELLETAIN – Gelding by Bande, the dam was placed over hurdles. Stable runners are well prepared and this gelding can have a say in proceedings
DO IT WELL – Colt by Order Of St George, the dam won 3 races, on the flat and over jumps. Some good aspects to his profile and from a trainer that knows the time of day. Merits consideration
NEVELE STAR – Filly by Silverwave, the dam was unraced. Does not appeal as a likely first time out winner and others are more likely to be involved
SAINTE HELENE – Filly by Doctor Dino, the dam won 2 races over jumps and was Listed placed over hurdles. Smart profile and can score on racecourse bow
FOR ELFY – Filly on debut by For Fun, the dam won 2 races, one on the flat and the other over hurdles. Stable runners warrant respect on debut and she is worth a market check
NOSIKA GRANDCHAMP – Filly by No Risk At All, the dam won 1 race over hurdles. From a top trainer that excels with newcomers. The betting can be the most informative guide to expected performance
Summary: SAINTE HELENE (7) has an appealing profile, with her dam a winner over jumps and Listed-placed over hurdles. She represents an astute stable and is expected to be well prepared for her racecourse debut. Her main danger could be NOELLETAIN (4), who also hails from a shrewd yard and is another newcomer to keep a close eye on. PINZOLO (2) and DO IT WELL (5) are both well bred and warrant respect, especially if they attract strong support in the betting.

C3 – PRIX DU CONSEIL DEPARTEMENTAL DE LA MAYENNE – 3600m (a2m1/4) – TURF – Claiming – Hurdles – EUR € 19,000
BANKSY NOVA – Failed to complete last time on March 1 in a hurdle race, 3rd before that in a Class 4 hurdle at Angers over 3400m on February 12. Merits respect
MORRA – Two solid 3rd place runs this year, the most recent over 3500m at Dieppe in a Class 3 claiming chase on June 18. Player
HAPPY MUM’S DAY – Can be sharper for a 6th over 3600m at Auteuil in a claiming hurdle on May 26. One to pay attention to
RORY WILLONG – Finished 2nd on the last two runs, the latter over 3800m at Moulins on June 14 in a claiming hurdle. Among the leading each-way options
PETITE THEYSS – Recent 4th at Dieppe in a Class 3 claiming chase on June 18 and win before that in May at Moulins. Hard to ignore
MYSTERE DE LANCRAY – Ran a better race to be 3rd on the last outing over 3800m at Erbray in a claiming hurdle on June 21. Others rate higher
PROCTOR – Two unplaced runs recently, 6th on the latter over 3550m at Chateaubriant on May 24 in a claiming hurdle. Hard to fancy
MUSIC DES BRUYERES – Two unplaced efforts on the flat recently, 7th at Saint-Brieuc on October 5 over 2400m on the latest. Hurdles debut and others seem more likely to score
MAMA CHIA – Finished 4th on the sole start over 3200m in a Class 4 race on the flat on June 21. Tries hurdles and is likely to find a few too smart
MISS DES MARAIS – Recent win over 3800m at Erbray in a claiming hurdle on June 21. Ought to be in the shake-up
MEC DE SIVOLA – Gelding on debut by Victory Song, the dam was placed over jumps. Likely to need this run for experience and is best watched for now
Summary: MORRA (2) has produced two solid third-place finishes on her last two starts, most recently in a claiming chase at Dieppe. She gets the narrow vote over HAPPY MUM’S DAY (3), who is expected to strip fitter after her recent outing in a claiming hurdle at Auteuil in late May and can improve on that performance. PETITE THEYSS (5) won over fences at Moulins on her penultimate start, and the return to hurdles should hold no fears.. RORY WILLONG (4) makes up the shortlist.

PTIT PEDRO – Fair 4th last time over 1700m at Granville in a Class 4 race on June 28. Capable of making his presence felt
JUST IN TIME GAME – Two unplaced efforts of late, well beaten at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 handicap on May 24, a winner in April in a Class 4 handicap over 1400m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat. Each way player

GRIGNETTE – Two below par runs since a win at Parislongchamp over 1400m in a Class 4 race on May 21. Capable but might need to drop a few kilos to be more competitive
YELLOW HAWK – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1600m at Nantes in a Class 3 handicap on June 16. Needs to be more reliable
KELLY KEY – Placed 4th on the last three runs, the latter over 1200m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap on June 12. Key chance

CAMICA – Below par on the two runs this year, in the rear division at Nantes on May 11 in a Class 4 handicap when last appearing. Look elsewhere
Summary: KELLY KEY (7) has finished fourth on her last three starts, most recently in a Class 3 handicap at Saint-Cloud in mid-June. She deserves to be rewarded for her consistency and is taken to get the verdict over PTIT PEDRO (1), who can make his presence felt despite carrying top weight. LE CENTRAL (3) has been in good form of late and should once again play a leading role. JUST IN TIME GAME (2) appeals as the best of the remainder.

LOVE ADDICT – Placed 3rd on the latest start over 1500m at Vannes in a claiming race on May 8. Faces a stiff task
Summary: HOLLIE WOOD (7) arrives on the back of two solid runner-up finishes, the latest in a claiming race at Chantilly in mid-June. She looks capable of going one better this time. Her main danger could be SELENITE (2), who produced a respectable effort when fifth in a Quinté+ handicap on her latest start in June. HELLO CAREL (3) has risen in the weights after back-to-back victories, but a hat-trick remains well within reach. YOHIO (10) completes the shortlist.

LE BOSC – Two unplaced runs, finished 10 at Nantes in a claimer over 1800m on June 16 on the most recent outing. Place contender

CAPITOL HILL – He has won two of the last three runs in claimers, the latter over 2000m at Compiegne on June 13. Player
INCENTIVE GLORY – Recent win over 2200m at Erbray on June 21 in a claimer when last appearing . Among the leading contenders
SPELONCATO – Ran well to be 4th over 2000m in a claimer at Compiegne on June 13 behind CAPITOL HILL (4). Ought to be involved
LAST SHOW – Well beaten on debut when in the rear over 2400m at Nantes on June 14 in a maiden race. Makes limited appeal
FAZAYAH – Unplaced on both starts, the latter when 7th at Argentan in a claiming race over 1900m on October 8. Others hold stronger claims
LAKE DREAM – Unplaced on the last three runs, the latter over 1700m at Pornichet on November 22 in a handicap. Hard to fancy
SAINT PHONIE – Has been out of the frame on each start, the most recent when well beaten at Nantes over 2400m in a maiden race on June 16. Drops in class but has work to do
SONARAH – Placed 2nd on the latest start over 2500m at Nort-Sur-Erdre in a caiming race on May 25. Others rate higher
EPOKUNE – Three unplaced runs so far, the latter when 7th over 2250m in a Class 3 race at Niort on June 20. Looks vulnerable
Summary: UNE AVENTURE (3) can be rewarded for a series of consistent efforts recently and is taken to gain a deserved success. CAPITOL HILL (4) has won twice in claiming company from his last three starts, most recently at Compiègne 19 days ago, and can once again play a leading role. SPELONCATO (6) finished behind that rival in fourth on his latest outing and holds each-way claims. LE BOSC (2) is another to keep onside.

ARGYRON – Two unplaced runs since a win over 2500m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap on April 24. Might find this challenging
BEJAR – Unplaced last time over 1600m at Nantes in a Class 4 handicap on May 29. Won twice in March and has outside place claims
INTENTION BORGET – Ran well to be 3rd last time over 1950m at Chateaubriant in a Class 4 handicap on May 5. Likely to be a threat
CAZADERO – Reasonable effort when 5th at Le Lion D’Angers on the latest start in a Class 4 handicap on June 5. Hard to to dismiss
MAESTRAL – Three unplaced efforts of late, well beaten at Le Lion D’Angers in a Class 4 handicap on June 5. Unlikely to be a threat
FLAMBOYANTE – Finished 6th on the last start over 2500m at Argentan in a Class 4 handicap on June 10. Hard to recommend
NANTIKA – Recent success over 2100m at Savenay in a Class 4 race on May 24. One to pay close attention to

RED GRACE – Fair 2nd at Orleans in a Class 4 race on May 17 over 2200m when last seen. More needed in a better race
KATIE LIGHT – Placed 4th on the last run over 2000m in a Class 4 handicap at Le Lion D’Angers on June 5. Not one to discount
LA PELEMOISE – Seems out of form, 6th at Nantes on the most recent outing over 1600m in a Class 3 handicap on June 16. Looks safely held
BLOWN BY THE WIND – She has been below par on her last three runs, in the rear division on June 16 in a Class 3 handicap over 1600m at Nantes. Hardly inspiring form
Summary: This could go the way of top-weight NICE RULER (1), who is trained locally and boasts a solid record at this track. He is preferred over HADYA (9), who finished a creditable fifth at Angers in early June on his latest start. CAZADERO (5) holds each-way claims after a respectable effort at Le Lion-d’Angers earlier last month. KATIE LIGHT (11) is another to note for place claims and completes the shortlist.

NANA DES BRIERES – Filly on debut by Montmartre, the dam won 1 race over 2600m. Likely to improve for this run unless the betting vibes are positive
NERVEUSE – Showed signs of talent when 6th on her debut over 2800m at Moulins in a conditions race on June 14. In the mix
Summary: NUIT DE STAR (1), the only colt in the field, must concede weight to his rivals but made a pleasing impression on his sole start and is taken to come out on top under Christopher Grosbois. NINA D’ANGE (2) won on debut and ran well to be fourth last time. She can be the main threat to the selection. NERVEUSE (4) can improve her debut at Moulins recently and is another to consider.

R4 LISIEUX [R-H]

C1 – PRIX SAINT DESIR LISIEUX – 2675m (a1m1/2) – Class G Amateur Drivers – Harness – EUR € 6,000

JIPANGA DE NILE – Has yet to display any particular aptitude for the amateur category but showed form at Le Neubourg in late-May and is not incapable of getting a look in
IMPERIAL DU CAPRE – Moderate trotter that has made no impact since returning from a year-long absence and can be disregarded
KOACH BOND – Quality element with more ability than his earnings would imply. Tends to show more on turf but has a lot going for him here and with application will be a tough nut to crack
KYMJO DE BELFOND – Has done nothing of note since imposing at Durtal in July 2025 and even at this level will have little to contribute
KAMARAN MADRIK – Off the track for almost 2 years and looks a far cry from the good youngster he once was
HICONE DOREE – Moderate mare that did not displease in 2 before being trounced at Angouleme 2.5 weeks ago. Has placed in one of two for her driver but others still preferred
HOBBY DE L’EVRE – Unplaced in all 3 starts since returning from his break. Starts on front line but is new to Lisieux and not an obvious choice
KATKO DES CHAMPS – Makes first appearance at this level after winning a Class H on turf 11 days ago. Starts in front and has a realistic chance of contesting the finish
KING OF RACE – Has been completely off the boil in 2026 and has no realistic chance
JASEUR – Is confirmed here but has looked very ordinary so far this term and will have few friends
KOKA RIGHT – Has placed in 3 of the 5 amateur races he has run, most recently 3rd in a Vire Class G 3.5 weeks ago, and even from the back row can play a prominent part
JADE DU BILLARD – Got back in the game at Durtal recently when runner-up in a Class F. Had been off the track for some time and, if close to his earlier ability, will have a lot to offer
HERRA D’AVENIR – Returns to a hard surface following 2 lacklustre turf performances. Has form with her driver, and starts in front, but is not a priority
HAROLD BUROIS – Surprise 3rd at Dozule in May but has failed 3 times to confirm and can be confidently ruled out
KAIROS DU PERCHE – Put a number of disappointing runs behind him to come 4th in a Villedieu-les-Poëles Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Has pulled a rough number but will be no easy touch if Romain Foiret keeps him focused
JOLICOEUR DU MIREL – Has yet to impose at this level but tends to go well for François Marie Roussel and can make first 5 if he successfully negotiates the start
Summary: Although eliminated in both amateur starts to date, KOACH BOND (3) has nevertheless won twice recently and from the 3 slot can wrap this up. He will still face resistance from the widely-drawn but recent Ranes winner, KATKO DES CHAMPS (8), who will still be dangerous with shoes fitted, and KAIROS DU PERCHE (15) who reassured at Villedieu-les-Poëles mid-month. KOKA RIGHT (11) made up for his Saint-Malo blip when 3rd at Vire and should not let the side down if he takes to the new conditions.

NEPTUNE D’AVE – Left a good impression when imposing on debut at Evreux in early-May. Faces a tougher test this time but can still contest a place on the podium
NUANCE DU GRIPPON – Showed early promise but very disappointing in last 3 and will have nothing to contribute
NARISSA DE LOU – Convincing winner of a Class G at Savigny-sur-Braye on debut 3.5 weeks ago. Has been handed a good draw here and enjoys a reasonable chance of confirming
NEPTUNA – Gave a very good account first time out, easily securing a Class G on turf 2.5 weeks ago. Has significantly more to give and is well-placed to repeat
NORMA CASTELLE – Is not devoid of ability but is not the most dependable either, and would be preferred a level down
NOUMEA DES YVETS – Modest filly that has done nothing of note since returning from the layoff and can be ruled out
NYMPHE DE BAIS – Has finished no closer than 4th in 8 career starts and is not about to influence the result
NINA DE NESLE – Showed tenacity to impose first time out, securing a Class G at Le Neubourg on 13 June. Starts wide, but on the front row, and will be expected to finish in the mix
NASSAU LIGNERIES – Career debutante making first appearance since qualifying modestly at Caen last December and is unlikely to spice things up
NETFLIX MIJO – Untried filly that qualified in 1’18’5 at Caen in late-March. Has not been blessed with the best of draws but nonetheless looks capable of making her presence felt
NINA RICCI ERA – Set off no fireworks when qualifying in 1’19’7 at Caen in late-March. Has little going for her here and others easier to back
NUANCE DE STAR – Showed improvement at Meslay-du-Maine just over a month ago when 4th in a Class F. Is forced to start on the 2nd line here and is unlikely to make much of an impact
NINA DE SASSY – Has yet to deliver on the potential she showed in last July’s qualification and the draw just compounds the matter
NAGA JOLOKIA – Ran 2nd on debut before faulting here 12 days ago. Sports hind pads for the first time and will be no pushover if François Le Brun successfully navigates the start
NAPA VALLEY ZEN – Not the calmest of fillies but showed promise at La Capelle in late-May. Is not a priority but can pick up a cheque if she deigns to keep her action together
NOVELISTA – Made up for debut elimination when 2nd in a Ranes Class G 11 days ago. Mathieu Mottier back in the bike and looks a player, but will first have to deal with the tough draw
Summary: NEPTUNA (4) won on debut, which is great in itself, but she did it in an impressive time on turf and, sporting hind pads for the occasion, looks a marginally better bet than fellow debutante winner NARISSA DE LOU (3) who will be similarly-shod . NEPTUNE D’AVE (1) also won first time out, and should figure prominently, but she may not be cut from the same cloth. NAGA JOLOKIA (14) has been reconfigured following her recent elimination here, is clearly a good future prospect, and although poorly-drawn still represents a decent place prospect.

LANAE D’ELA – Eliminated on monte debut at Le Touquet 12 days ago and already looks out of her depth
LEU DES BOIS – 41 races and yet to get off the mark, but went close at Vichy earlier in the month and on good behaviour can challenge for a place in the picture
LEMILIE SAINT BAR – Showed form last autumn before coming off the boil and has picked up this term where she left off
LORD – Ran 3rd at Le Mont-Saint-Michel in late-May prior to being eliminated at Reims on 6 June. Starts in front but in this category will struggle to make his presence felt
LORD DE JAFA – Makes just 2nd monte appearance in what has been an inauspicious career and considering current form can be confidently ignored
LENOLA DE CORTEM – Has been a complete write-off since imposing at Cabourg last July and will have nothing to bring to the party
LARIANA CLEVILLE – 3rd in a Caen Class E 2.5 weeks ago after a 2.5 months’ spell. Is well-entered on the front line and Antonin Andre can be justifiably confident of a big run
MISTRAL DE CERISY – Sent for a short layup after pleasing twice in the capital in April. Will have some work in him though and should not be underestimated
MAZEPPA DU VIVIER – Returns from a short spell following 3 close calls. Has not won since April 2025 but it is just a question of time. Chance
LA SEGNORA PIYA – Has ample ability but is not easy to handle. Reassured behind LEU DES BOIS (3) at Vichy 3 weeks ago and with application can get in on the action
MEANDRE DE VANDEL – Has taken his game to a new level since starting to race barefoot, latterly dominating a Vincennes Class D 2 weeks ago, and is in with a realistic shout of pulling off the hat-trick
MAURICIO DU DERBY – Sent for a rest after failing to fire at Vincennes on 21 April. Has previously won when shod and, while not a priority, is still worth keeping an eye on
Summary: Wonderfully-consistent in both branches of the game, MEANDRE DE VANDEL (12) has, however, found his way under the saddle and even against some hardened 5 year-olds still looks the one to beat. That being said, MAZEPPA DU VIVIER (10) has been knocking at the door and represents the principal threat. LARIANA CLEVILLE (8) made a fine re-entry at Caen, goes first-time barefoot, and will only have come on for the run. LEU DES BOIS (3) has taken well to his new vocation and will be dangerous if Esteban De Jesus keeps him trotting.

MANON BLONDE – 17 races and yet to lose her maiden tag. Has not raced since March and will have nothing to contribute
MELODY DE MADKER – Imposed at Graignes prior to running 3rd in a Class F over course and distance on 20 June. Is in better company this time but benefits from a terrific entry and Yoann Lebourgepois will be eager to make hay
MILADY – Is back racing right-handed after coming 5th in a Laval Class E 3 weeks ago and has a decent chance of winning this
MARINE D’ERABLE – Talented filly but has not been seen out since September 2025 and is going to be race-rusty
MEGANE DE CERISY – Made up for Vincennes sanction when 5th in a Caen Class F in late-May. Is new to Lisieux and unlikely to influence the outcome
MOON LIGHT RIVER – Makes first start since winning a Vire Class E on 18 March. Is shod this time but cannot be discounted
MAKARINA DE BOMO – Undeniably capable but never the easiest to handle. Benefits from a good entry though and, if applied, can pick up a first-5 payout
MADAME D’ERABLE – Returns to the provinces following a pair of decent efforts at Vincennes, and in this category looks capable of challenging for the spoils
Summary: MILADY (4) won 2 going clockwise before failing to secure the hat-trick at Laval, but returns to racing right-handed and is easy to fancy for the win. Mathieu Mottier will still be mindful of the ideally-entered MADAME D’ERABLE (9) who will be no soft touch on her Lisieux debut. MISKAVA (1) is as complicated as they come but she got back in the winners’ circle at Mondoubleau mid-month, will be barefoot this time, starts in front, and on good behaviour can repeat. MELODY DE MADKER (3) gave a fine account here recently, races barefoot for the first time, and is not without a chance of getting her nose in front.

MONT BLANC QUARTO – A veritable disappointment all year. Sports a fresh formula, and starts in front, but others still preferred
MILLESIME ROC – Has hardly put a foot wrong this season, latterly runner-up to MIC MAC LOUANGES (10) in a Class F on turf 2.5 weeks ago, and has a decent chance of making the frame once again
MONACO DU LIVET – Has yet to get off the mark but always gives what he can. Ran 3rd over course and distance in April and even in this company can pick up another cheque
MILWAUKEE LEGEND – Serious colt with a bright future. Lost his action last time out but is clearly in rude health and will have his chances if Yoann Lebourgeois gets him off on the right foot
MILORD DREAM – Unexceptional type with better prospects under the saddle and can be ignored
MIKONOS DE MAHEY – Is some way off the form he displayed in 2025. Returns to racing shod but is still not an obvious choice
MIC MAC LOUANGES – Quality trotter that has yet to be bested when barefoot. Imposed easily 2.5 weeks ago and will be expected to repeat
MAESTRO D’IDEE – Has done nothing but improve lately, most recently winning a Bernay Class F on 31 May. Has had ample time to get back to his best and will be expected to put in another good showing
MARHABATH – Showed fine form earlier in the season before producing 3 straight eliminations and will first need to reaffirm
MAGICIEN LUDOIS – Reliability not his strong suit but has already won this term. Is well-engaged here, races barefoot for the first time, and must be considered a player
MASCARET DEFF – Blows hot and cold but can trot. Is due a decent run one of these days and the excellent entry must be taken into account
Summary: Sporadically-raced he may be but MIC MAC LOUANGES (10) got straight back in the game at Erbray mid-month, makes his Lisieux bow on a hat-trick, and will be well-backed to pull it off. Justifiably well-regarded, MILWAUKEE LEGEND (7) failed to confirm his May success when quickly eliminated 3 weeks ago but on better behaviour can put things right. Most impressive in 3 of his last 4 starts, and recently runner-up to the Duvaldestin gelding, MILLESIME ROC (5) sports a new configuration and must be taken seriously. MAESTRO D’IDEE (11) imposed a month ago, a year after losing his maiden status, and even though shod this time still looks competitively well in.

LUCKY DE LINE – Gave a respectable account at Alencon before losing his action at Mondoubleau 2.5 weeks ago and in this company has no possible chance
LIPSKA – Has started to come good again following a slow start to then season. Has form with her driver of the day and from the front row can play a prominent role
LUCKYLUKE DU GIVRE – Has started to come good again following a slow start to the spring. Made little impact on his sole start at the venue and is not about to create an upset
LUEUR D’HAUFOR – Has placed just once in 3 starts this term. Is on the front line once more but others still preferred

LOLITA DU STADE – Has failed to make any impact so far this season and must first get her house in order
LE TANGO DU RENARD – Nicely-engaged sort in fine form but has considerably better prospects in the other code

LADY DU CEDRE – Got back in the winners’ circle at Saint-Malo in late-May but has been fitted with shoes this time and best to hold off
LEONARD DE VINCI – Quickly eliminated in a Laval Class E 3 weeks ago after having had his way at Saint-Malo. Has conditions to his liking this time and will be expected to finish close
L’ONCLE SAM – Useful trotter but has not been seen out since March and will be preparing for a campaign under the saddle
LOULOU DE L’AUNAY – Has not been seen out since running 2nd in a Class E at Le Touquet on 26 April and with shoes on will have nothing to contribute
LOVELY GODIVA – Has just the one race under her belt since the winter break. Is still in conditioning-mode and can be passed over
LEVIOSA – Has picked up this season where she left off last year. Ran 3rd under these conditions early last month and even though in better company this time, she sports modified shoeing and must be respected
LUXURY DU DOUAROU – Twice 2nd before finishing unplaced at Vincennes early last month. Is clearly better than that though and can give this a good go if Franck Nivard gets him off on the right foot
LAMA DE CORDAY – Superb in the last 3 races he has finished. Ran 2nd here in March and, reunited with his usual partner, can get back down to doing what he does best
LOOK PEJI – Has turned a corner since being entrusted to Mathieu Mottier, latterly a convincing Laval Class E winner 3 weeks ago, and makes his Lisieux bow with a realistic chance of making it a winning one
Summary: Wonderfully-engaged at the limit of earnings, and clearly at the top of his game, LOOK PEJI (18) took well to being fitted with pads at Laval and has every chance of making it 2 on the trot. Also nicely in, LAMA DE CORDAY (17) has been going good-guns for the past 3 months and will be no pushover if Adrien Guarato keeps him focused. LEONARD DE VINCI (11) failed to confirm his Saint-Malo victory when eliminated at Laval, but is back racing right-handed and will be expected to set things straight. At just 125 Euros from incurring the penalty, and plainly in good shape, L’ABEILLE DU DOME (9) will be shod to preference and is unlikely to be far from the action. Behind in earnings due to her spirited nature, LIPSKA (3) also starts in front and has already won for Yoann Lebourgeois.

C7 – PRIX DE PONT-L’EVEQUE ET DE LA CONFRERIE – 2675m (a1m1/2) – Class F – Harness – EUR € 26,000
JAMES MADRIK – Produced 3 fine efforts in May but has since come off the boil. Is new to the venue and even from the front row is not an obvious choice
JIDEO STREET – Modest element making first appearance since February and has no realistic chance
JOFESCA BUISSONAY – Tricky mare that was not disgraced at Caen 2 weeks ago despite being eliminated. Tends to go well for Yoann Lebourgeois and from the 3 slot should not be underestimated
JUST FOR FUN – Gave a very good account at Vichy despite being denied a run. Is patently close to his race and is ideally-positioned to win this
HAPPY HERO – Faces first target of the summer after a below-par performance at Mondoubleau 2.5 weeks ago. Is nicely-drawn but unlikely to spring any surprises
IL MIO – Gave a good account in the amateur division recently but faces a tougher test here and will need to find more
HELBERT FOUTEAU – Barring his Vichy blip has been firing on all cylinders, dominating a Reims Class F on 6 June. Has twice failed to deliver at Lisieux but in current condition is easy to like for a place in the frame
HORS CADRE – Surprise winner at Le Mont-Saint-Michel in April but has 3 times failed to confirm and can be passed over
HIJO MOKO – Ran 2nd here on 17 May but has since come off the boil and will have nothing to offer
IESOLO – Has found his feet again following a tough start to the year. Is forced to break on back line but has excelled for Adrien Lamy and looks competitively well in
JALMAROSA – Has been an absolute write-off for some time and will have few, if any, friends
JENUFA – Is considerably better than recent results would suggest. Is confirmed at this level and despite a 2nd row start can finish in the mix
JOYCE DREAM – No slouch on a good day but returns to racing shod after flopping at Caen 2 weeks ago and will have few takers
INSTAGRAM – Can trot but has comprehensively failed to confirm his May performance at Bernay and can be ignored
IN LOVE DE CHARDET – Showed improvement on 2nd start back, coming 4th in a Ranes Class H on 21 June. Has been allocated a bad number but is still worth retaining
JURELLA DE PALM – Convincing winner of a Vichy Class F a fortnight back. Arnaud Gilles Maillard would have preferred a better draw but, given the mare’s condition, must be considered a player
Summary: He may not be the easiest of horses to use but JUST FOR FUN (4) showed marked improvement at Vichy, despite some ill-fate, and from the 4 slot can win this – provided Alan Gendrot keeps him focused. HELBERT FOUTEAU (7) laid down the law at Reims recently and with form maintained will be no pushover. JURELLA DE PALM (16) has something of a temperament, and has pulled a rough number, but she has won 2 of her last 4 starts and must be taken seriously. JOFESCA BUISSONAY (3) is better-positioned behind the car, won her only start at the venue, and on good behaviour can get in on the action.

JOLI DE CONNEE – Went off the boil after imposing at Graignes in February and with shoes fitted will have little to offer
JOKER GES – Won a pair earlier in the spring but has been somewhat below-par since. Alexandre Abrivard in the bike this time and could pleasantly surprise if he keeps his charge trotting
HYGNUS PRIOR – Rather disappointing in last 3 public appearances. Sports a new configuration but still has nothing to contribute
JAYF – Has returned from his winter break in poor form and is not about to spice things up
JACKSON D’ECAJEUL – Not the most reliable of horses but has placed in 2 of 4 this term. Has placed just once in 4 at Lisieux but in current condition cannot be discounted
JALHIA DU HANOY – Failed to confirm Reims victory when succumbing to poor tactics at Vichy 3 weeks ago. Is clearly in shape though, starts in front, and re-shod for the occasion can play an important role
ILLICO FLIGNY – Gave a reassuringly good account when 4th in a Vichy Class E mid-month. Will not be available at 53-1 this time but is unlikely to be as competitive either
JENKA DE MORMOULIN – Debuts for new stable, is on the front line, won her only start at the venue, and with her new handler reining will be no easy touch
INDY DE TYROLE – Has been giving a good account over recent months, latterly 2nd in a Class H on turf 12 days ago, but can expect to find this a tough task
JOYCE DE COSSE – Made up for Lignieres elimination when 3rd in a Durtal Class E on 21 June. Will be barefoot again and is unlikely to disappoint
JAVADA DU MONT – Has so far failed to make any impact this season and will first need to re-establish her credentials
IVY METAL – Benefits from a terrific entry but has not raced since January and is going to need the run
JOMA OV – Has not got her nose in front for over a year but has begun to get back in the game and will not be far off the mark if she stays in stride
INITIALE LILA – Nicely-engaged mare who will have improved for comeback run at Vichy 2.5 weeks ago. Incurs the penalty but looks thoroughly capable of imposing this time
JOCELYNE – Useful mare starting for first time since early-April. Won her only start at the venue, will be shod to preference, is nicely-engaged, and should not be overlooked
IDEAL DELADOU – Left a good impression at Cholet recently despite failing to place but will be reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois and, considering the entry, should be good enough to win a race of this nature
Summary: A number in the running here but it may just be on the back line that we find the winner, INITIALE LILA (14) having made an excellent re-entry at Vichy mid-month, and IDEAL DELADOU (16) who is considerably better than his recent Cholet performance would suggest. JENKA DE MORMOULIN (8) is 25m better off and will be barefoot on his debut for Mathieu Mottier. JOYCE DE COSSE (10) reassured at Durtal when barefoot for the first time and has only once failed to fire for her driver.

Summary: A competitive-looking opening event. MIRACLE D’ENFER (8) got off the mark on his reappearance, winning on the turf at Nort-sur-Erdre. He had shown solid form on the sand at three and can follow up. If they keep their stride, MOHITO DE GUEZ (11) and MAESTRO DELTO (5) look the most likely to challenge him. We suggest keeping faith with MUNGO JERRY (1)—his turn should be coming soon and he deserves some respect.

Summary: Another competitive event. JOURNAL INTIME (11) was only third at Vichy last time but remains partnered with Matthieu Abrivard and gets a narrow vote to score. J’ADORE CELESTE (5), entrusted to Benjamin Rochard should be competitive yet again. The ultra-consistent JASMIN VIVANCIERE (12) shapes up as a serious rival. IPIPOURAX PAULOIS (15) may bounce back to form following a promising return and is another to consider.

However, LEADER DE MARZY (7) has a realistic chance of challenging him. Recent winner LARINA DE LA MOIRE (12) deserves a mention but is not reliable.

MOON SAINT ANDRE (10) has been knocking on the door and shapes as her main danger. MAGIE DE BOUERE (11) has resumed her progress after a disqualification in her comeback performance.

However, it is far from straightforward against KRISTAL DE JANZE (9), who has been freshened up and is ready to threaten. KAP ORNE (7), a pleasing winner at Caen has to be given some respect.

Well regarded, NATIVE DES LOYAUX (9) and NICIE CASH (8) both have the ability to open their accounts in this race for young horses.NATIVE DES LOYAUX (9) showed promis eon her debut but was disqualified last time out. NICIE CASH (8) only found one better on debut. NUIT SECRETE (14) and NOBLESSE DU GERS (10) have also shown promise and will benefit from racing in a lighter shoeing configuration.
