R1 CABOURG [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DU MONT-SAINT-MICHEL – 2725m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 33,000

  1. HELIOS D’ANCLEMAX – Ran 5th in a Chartres Class E on 17 June but was never threatening and is not about to spring any surprises
  2. JETPACK – Occasionally a handful but has left us in no doubt about his form. Has shown considerable appreciation for Cabourg and is well-placed to win this
  3. IMAKO VERDERIE – Put away after winning at Lisieux in late-March. Has 2 runs under his belt since the layup, sports 4 pads for the occasion, and while not a leading contender, should nevertheless hold his own
  4. JOGGER KILY – Steps up in category after producing a trio of solid clockwise performances, latterly running 3rd in a Vichy Class F in mid-June. Has pulled a good number but may find the going much tougher this time
  5. HISTORY MAJYC – Particularly disappointing in 2025 and has picked up in 2026 where she left off. Disregard
  6. JERIKA DE KERYANN – Returns barefoot to the harness code after a pair of monte blips. Starts in front and will be barefoot but others still preferred
  7. IPSO D’AVIGNERE – Can prove a bit of a handful but has nothing to prove in this category. Is barefoot for first objective of the year and from the front line can give this a good go. First 5
  8. JAZZMAN – Hardy individual with a good turn of foot and is clearly in shape. Has never failed to fire at Cabourg and has the wherewithal to challenge for a place in the frame
  9. JAB KISS – Returned to the winners’ circle at Lisieux 2 weeks ago when securing an amateurs Class G but will struggle to make his presence felt this time
  10. JANNIG D’EREVAN – Runner-up in 2 before being eliminated in next 2. Is a tough nut to crack when applied however and will be reunited with Sebastien Ernault who has form with him. Place chance
  11. JE VIENS DU SUD – Got the year off to a slow start but has been thriving lately. Won last 2 in good order and even from the second row will be competitive when it matters
  12. JULIANO STILE – Put an end to his dry spell when 5th in a Caen Class F on 22 June. Trainer-driver would have preferred a better draw but, with form maintained, can repeat
  13. JADE FOR EVER – Has finished no closer than 5th in 6 starts this season and will have nothing to offer
  14. JOYEUX MESLOIS – Has imposed just once for new trainer and has been handed a tough number, but always gives his best and is unlikely to go home empty-handed
    Summary: Winner here earlier in the year, and runner-up in 2 of his last 3 starts, JETPACK (2) enjoys a good draw and can wrap this up. François Lagadeuc will be unsurprisingly wary of JE VIENS DU SUD (11) who, despite a poor draw, will be vying for the three-timer, and the Cabourg-liking JANNIG D’EREVAN (10) who starts upsides. JAZZMAN (8) may not have pulled the best of numbers either but his form is sure and will be shod as he was when victorious at Challans in late-April.
    SELECTIONS
    JETPACK (2) – JE VIENS DU SUD (11) – JANNIG D’EREVAN (10) – JAZZMAN (8)
    C2 – PRIX DE GRANVILLE – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 26,000
  15. MACAME DU CAUX – Imposed at Gournay-en-Bray late-May prior to running 2nd in an Amiens Class E 3.5 weeks ago, but sports shoes this time and is not a priority
  16. LADY DE SAINT JEAN – Took an honourable step up in category when 5th in a Cherbourg Class E last week. Would be preferred barefoot but still cannot be ruled out
  17. MAGIC MAGGIE – Encouraged at Le Mans on 21 May but failed to confirm when eliminated at Lisieux early last month, and can expect to have few takers
  18. LA VALLEY FLIGNY – Not the easiest of horses to use but reassured somewhat in a Caen Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Has no Cabourg references but breaks on the front line and will have her supporters
  19. MISS DU PERCHE – Ran 4th in a competitive Lisieux Class D on 7 June after having twice imposed a level down. Breaks in front here and, with form maintained, could pleasantly surprise
  20. LADY CHANNEL – Serious filly that has run 2nd in both Cabourg starts. Has a race under her belt since last summer, will be shod to preference, and from the front row can give this a good go
  21. LA BELLE DE BEYLEV – Showed a different side at La Capelle on 19 June when 3rd in a 2750m Class E. Another top driver reining this time and, given the entry, must be taken seriously
  22. MANA MIX – Facile winner of a Vichy Class E a fortnight ago, first time barefoot. Possesses bags of untapped potential and under these conditions can make this her own
  23. LUTECE D’OUVILLE – Lost her way after imposing over track and trip last January. Has not been seen out since March and is clearly in conditioning-mode
  24. MOON STAR FOR YOU – Has ample ability but dependability not her strong suit. Returns to racing shod and is unlikely to spice things up
  25. MY GIRL PIYA – Hard to knock when focused but is here for reasons of conditioning and can be disregarded
  26. LOUBIANA DU BOURG – Kicked the year off in good order but has since come off the boil and can be passed over
  27. LUNA DOMA – Has 3 races under her belt this term but has done nothing to reassure connections and from the 2nd line will have too much to do
  28. LOREZZA ERA – Has looked a different horse since moving yards, winning 2 of 3. Has a lot going for her here and even from the back row can contest the finish
  29. LOUVE DE BAIS – Handy mare with a race in her since the break but will stay shod and best to keep one’s powder dry
  30. LUNE LUMALO – Quality filly with nothing to prove at the venue. Is well-entered here and her recent Enghien result augurs well for her chances
    Summary: Winner on re-entry in mid-May before going on to dominate at Vichy a fortnight ago, MANA MIX (8) benefits from a terrific entry on the front row and looks a better bet than the similarly hat-trick-seeking LOREZZA ERA (14) who is 25m worse off. LUNE LUMALO (16) showed marked improvement at Enghien recently, has a particular liking for Cabourg conditions, and the engagement will only work to her advantage. Entrusted to Franck Nivard after having reassured at La Capelle 2 weeks back, LA BELLE DE BEYLEV (7) enjoys a front-row start and, with application, can again go close. MISS DU PERCHE (5) missed out on the three-timer, but nevertheless held her own, at Lisieux early last month and is unlikely to disappoint.
    SELECTIONS
    MANA MIX (8) – LOREZZA ERA (14) – LUNE LUMALO (16) – LA BELLE DE BEYLEV (7)
    C3 – PRIX DE RANES – 2725m (a1m1/2) – Class F – Harness – EUR € 27,000
  31. KARINA JOSSELYN – Unremarkable mare that showed moderate improvement at Lisieux a fortnight ago, but not enough to be considered a player this time
  32. KIRENE FLASH – Has delivered a mixed bag this term but is no easy touch when focused. Goes barefoot as she was when imposing at Amiens earlier in the year and is sufficiently well-placed to pick up a cheque
  33. JELLY JAMM – Not the easiest to use and has never delivered at Cabourg, but is better than her recent Jallais result would suggest, and the draw will only work to her advantage
  34. KAMELIA DE JEAN – Pleased on comeback in late-April but has failed to confirm on 3 occasions and even going barefoot is not an obvious choice
  35. JAZZY MAKER – Ran 3rd at La Capelle before failing to deliver in a Reims Class E early last month. Enjoys a good entry here and from the 5 slot can put in a good showing. First 5
  36. INES DE GLADJESS – Springs the occasional surprise, as she did when 3rd at Villedieu-les-Poëles in late-April. Is barefoot this time but has no love for Cabourg and can be passed over
  37. KIRA DE CAHOT – Won an Enghien claimer in March but has twice failed to confirm. Pierre-Yves Verva back in the bike but looks no more than a minor place chance
  38. KONSTANCIA D’OYSE – Placed at Royan in early-May but has failed to make any impact in 4 since and is not about to influence the outcome
  39. JESABELLE DU JOUR – Eliminated in 9 of last 10 public outings and can be confidently disregarded
  40. JAKIRA – Has been completely out of the picture since August 2025 and is not about to shake things up
  41. YES PLEASE – Has not once finished out of the first 3 in over a year. Pleased on sole start on French soil, will be entrusted to Paul Ploquin for the first time, and even from the 2nd row can play a leading role
  42. KALANSKA – Significantly better mare than recent numbers would imply. Showed improvement at Cherbourg mid-June and returns to a track she likes with a good hand to play
  43. KALINE D’ERPION – Has hardly put a foot out of line since returning this season. Clinched Class F victory 11 days ago. Won for Alexandre Abrivard on her sole Cabourg start and has a reasonable chance of repeating
  44. QUEEN OF THE NIGHT – Unexceptional mare with just one race under her belt since returning from a lengthy hiatus. Stays shod for the occasion and will have few takers
    Summary: On an improving run of form, KALINE D’ERPION (13) made amends for her Elbeuf elimination when victorious at Le Croise-Laroche recently and, with Alexandre Abrivard back in the bike, can defy the draw and double her money. YES PLEASE (11) consistently gives everything she has and ran 3rd last December at Vincennes on her sole French start. KALANSKA (12) is another good prospect on the back row, presents fine Cabourg credentials, and receives a Yoann Lebourgeois drive. JELLY JAMM (3), in contrast, is ideally-positioned behind the car and a repeat of her Reims performance would see her finish close.
    SELECTIONS
    KALINE D’ERPION (13) – YES PLEASE (11) – KALANSKA (12) – JELLY JAMM (3)
    C4 – PRIX PAUL VIEL – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 37,000
  45. CAMERON – Placed under the saddle at Lisieux on 7 June, then repeated under harness at Reims a fortnight later. Takes on a better lot this time though and chances seem limited
  46. LOOK OF LOVE – Had been on a rich vein of form before being trounced in a Vincennes Class D in late-May. Boasts a 50 percent win-rate going clockwise but may just be taking on too much
  47. NELSON GREENWOOD – Placed in first 2 returns runs then ran out of luck in an Enghien Class A on 23 May, but if kept out of harm’s way can contest the finish this time
  48. KORONA DELADOU – Has not got her nose in front since January but has been acquitting herself well of late and should not be far from the action if she stays in stride
  49. DADA DEL RONCO – Got back in the game at Vincennes 2 weeks ago when 4th in a 2850m Class E. Pleased on sole start at the venue and although not a priority is still worth retaining
  50. MAX OCCAGNES – Returns to racing clockwise after securing 2 going left-handed, latterly dominating a Vincennes Class E on 15 May. Comes here fresh and can expect the lion’s share of support
  51. KAISER – Won a Chartres Class E in late-April but failed to deliver early last month in a Caen Class D and will have his work cut out
  52. NIAGARA RIVER – Serious mare that has won her last 3 starts. Has raced just once going right-handed but will be partnered by Yoann Lebourgeois for the first time, is behind in earnings, and must be regarded a leading contender
  53. KOALA BLUE – Back in business following a brief lull earlier in the spring. Is hard to knock with his driver and makes his Cabourg bow with a good hand to play
  54. KALITA D’HENINEL – Has turned a corner lately with 2 places on turf. Is new to Cabourg but goes well right-handed and should not be written off
  55. EXPRESS D’ARC – Useful trotter returning to France following some black-type runs at home in Italy. Is hard to fault when focused and will be no easy touch if he turns
  56. KNOCKONWOOD – Has been disappointing on the whole for some time and appears to have no possible chance
  57. KEY LADY – Not the most reliable horse in the field but can trot when focused. Trainer back in the bike and is not one to be overlooked
  58. JOYCE DES GRANGES – One of the most reliable horses here but has no Cabourg references and in this category will need to find more
  59. INVICTUS ONE – Has started to get back in the game after a couple of necessary conditioners. Sports 4 pads though and best to hold off
  60. JUDY MATIDY – Honest mare that seldom lets the side down but is in conditioning-mode this time and not a priority
    Summary: Winner on his sole start at the venue, MAX OCCAGNES (6) returns to Cabourg on a hat-trick and, shod as he was that day, can pull it off. Dominik Locqueneux will still be mindful of the on-form NELSON GREENWOOD (3) who was very unlucky at Enghien last time out, and NIAGARA RIVER (8) who is unbeaten in 3 starts since returning to France. KOALA BLUE (9) returns to a hard surface after twice running 2nd on turf and, already 4 times a winner for Alexandre Abrivard, is easy to like. EXPRESS D’ARC (11) imposed last time he disputed a Quinte and will be shod as he was on that occasion.
    SELECTIONS
    MAX OCCAGNES (6) – NELSON GREENWOOD (3) – NIAGARA RIVER (8) – KOALA BLUE (9)
    C5 – PRIX D’AGON-COUTAINVILLE – 2725m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 22,000
  61. MIAMI – 21 races and yet to get off the mark but is no slouch when focused. Defied her odds at Cholet early last month and is unlikely to be sent out at 40-1 this time
  62. MELLYNGA – Failed to confirm Argentan performance when well-beaten behind MIAMI (1) at Cholet. Breaks on front row but others still easier to back
  63. MOON DES ARRIS – Has been knocking at the door over recent months and is due a win one of these days. Has no clockwise references but in current condition is nevertheless easy to recommend
  64. MARIE D’AIMTE – Eliminated early at Vichy on 24 June but nonetheless showed her form thereafter. Will be shod as she was when victorious at Laval in late-April and, if applied, can make her way back into the winners’ circle
  65. MI CASA – Not an easy horse to use but seldom disappoints when focused and makes her Cabourg bow with a decent chance of bringing the fight to MARIE D’AIMTE (4)
  66. MASTERCLASS D’EARL – Still chasing that elusive first win. Has looked ordinary this term and will have little to contribute
  67. MENEUSE DE HOUELLE – Briefly lost her way after imposing at Reims in late-April but has twice since reassured at Caen recently and even though drawn wide still looks a respectable first-5 prospect
  68. MALAGA DE MARZY – Won an Angers Class F on 2nd start back but was unsure of stride next time, and in this company will struggle to make her mark
  69. MIYAJIMA VET – Encouraged at Caen in early-spring but has comprehensively failed to confirm 4 times and can be ruled out
  70. MOOVIESTAR SOMOLLI – Moderate filly making first appearance since 12 March. Will be shod for the occasion and can expect to have few takers
  71. MAYWENN DU GUERET – Takes on a marginally better bunch after having stayed on well to win at Caen a fortnight ago. Is forced to break on back line but has earned the right to take her chances and must be respected
  72. MINDIE DES PRES – Took some time to come to hand this term but ran 2nd in an Ecommoy Class F a fortnight ago. Has pulled a 2nd row number but still cannot be discounted
  73. MAMZELLE DREAM – Honest filly that always gives her best. Has not raced for 2 months but has pulled a rough number and looks to have her work cut out
  74. MONEY DU CHATELET – Quality filly that won her only right-handed race. Gave a good account at Cherbourg on re-entry last month, will have progressed for the run, and despite a tough draw, sports a fresh configuration and looks competitively well in
    Summary: Eliminated in 2 after having won her first 2 of the year, MARIE D’AIMTE (4) will be helped by the mobile start, has been reconfigured, and the draw may just make all the difference. MI CASA (5) is not badly-placed herself and will not be easy to oppose if she keeps her action together. MOON DES ARRIS (3) is clearly close to her race and also looks competitive. MAYWENN DU GUERET (11) has won 3 of 4 this year, is confirmed at Cabourg, and will sport a new configuration.
    SELECTIONS
    MARIE D’AIMTE (4) – MI CASA (5) – MOON DES ARRIS (3) – MAYWENN DU GUERET (11)
    C6 – PRIX DE PORTBAIL – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class F – Harness – EUR € 23,000
  75. LEWIS PARK – Surprise 3rd on turf in early-May but failed to confirm a fortnight later and with shoes on will have nothing to give
  76. LOUXOR DU PONT – Still chasing that elusive first win but can trot. Failed to impress in either return run but will be barefoot this time and is worth a second look
  77. L’ELU DU CHERISAY – Impressive last summer before subsequently coming off the boil. Has not raced since last November and will be given an easy comeback
  78. L’AS DE PIQUE – Modest trotter that has made little impact since August 2025 and in present shape can be ruled out
  79. LUPIN DU HOULEY – Capricious element that has done nothing of note since August last year and even though reconfigured still looks to be out of his depth
  80. LENNY D’EP – Has been a complete write-off since October. Incurs the penalty and has no possible chance
  81. LOULOU CHAFS – Reliability not his strong suit but caught the eye in a Vichy Class F 3 weeks ago and can figure prominently if he keeps his action together
  82. LALICIO BELLO – Pleasant in both return runs before being eliminated at Erbray on 14 June. Will appreciate returning to a hard surface and Alexis Collette has a point to prove. First 5
  83. LOPIUM PRIOR – Has not been seen out since last November, and debuts at the venue, but will have been particularly prepared for this and, with shoes off again, can contest the finish
  84. LOULOU D’YMER – Ran 3rd in a Gournay-en-Bray Class F in late-May prior to being eliminated at Le Touquet a fortnight back. Has been reconfigured for the occasion and, if applied, can get back in the game
  85. LE BEAU CIEL – Eliminated in all 4 starts this term but is not short of talent. Entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois for the first time and can start to put things right. Claim
  86. L’AS DU PERCHE – Was unable to confirm Le Mont-Saint-Michel victory when 7th in a Lisieux Class E on 7 June but should not be too hastily-judged. Has a lot more going for him this time and will not be far from the action
  87. LEOPOLD DU BANNEY – Serious sort returning from a necessary layoff. Will stay shod for comeback and best to keep one’s powder dry
  88. LORIQUET – Started to come good again in May but has since lost his way and, placed on 2nd line, is unlikely to generate much interest
  89. LARGO D’ENFER – Produced a pair of good performances before suffering a poor trip at Amiens 3 weeks ago. Is clearly in shape though and Esteban De Jesus will be keen to set the record straight
  90. LIBRE PENSEUR MEEK – Useful, but complicated, type starting for first time since mid-January. Will sport shoes for the occasion and will have nothing to contribute
    Summary: If the freshly-reconfigured LE BEAU CIEL (11) manages to channel his inner calm, or if Yoann Lebourgeois manages to do it for him, the race could well be theirs for the taking. LOPIUM PRIOR (9), however, is considerably more predictable and clearly means business on his first start back. L’AS DU PERCHE (12) is ideally-entered on the front line, has been re-shod, and Robin Lamy will be eager to deliver. LARGO D’ENFER (15) endured a bad trip at Amiens last month and will be no pushover if kept out of trouble.
    SELECTIONS
    LE BEAU CIEL (11) – LOPIUM PRIOR (9) – L’AS DU PERCHE (12) – LARGO D’ENFER (15)
    C7 – PRIX DE GENETS – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class F – Mounted – EUR € 19,500
  91. MELBA DE L’OREE – Has yet to display any aptitude for either discipline and has no realistic chance
  92. MIA DES MURAILLES – Qualified nicely at Grosbois in May but has so far failed to live up to expectations and can be written off
  93. MISTY DES LANDIERS – Modest on debut and has twice been eliminated since. Mehdi Lelièvre aboard this time but still not a concern
  94. MADAME DES LOYAUX – Disappointing on the whole since her sanctioned debut in April 2025 and can be confidently disregarded
  95. MY WAY PIYA – Gave a good account when 3rd, a place behind MA BELLE ASSCHADEL (13), in a Cherbourg Class F mid-June, on just her second start. Will have improved for the run and, with pads fitted this time, can finish close
  96. MINETTE – Moderate filly that has yet to make her mark in the code. Has never delivered when barefoot and in current condition is unlikely to start now
  97. MUSE TENSAU – Showed early potential but has been disappointing over recent months and is unlikely to create an upset
  98. MARIGNANA JEEP – Complicated filly that encouraged at Cholet early last month but was unable to confirm at Ecommoy 11 days later and will have few friends
  99. MONDAINE – Returned from her spell under harness at Caen 2 weeks ago. Is sure to have come on for the race and looks a serious proposition this time
  100. MO CUISHLE DESTHER – Winner first time out but has subsequently failed to confirm. Returns fresh from her layoff however, will be first-time barefoot, and should not be underestimated
  101. MYRTILLE DU BUST – Has shown improvement since returning to the discipline. Sports a fresh formula for her return to Cabourg and could pick up minor honours
  102. MANA TEJY – Returns to the code after a pair of harness conditioners. Is competitively-shod for first objective of the year and will be reunited with Paul Ploquin. Chance
  103. MA BELLE ASSCHADEL – Surprise 2nd in a Cherbourg Class F before coming a cropper at Enghien last Saturday, and not an obvious choice
  104. MAYTIKA DU VAL – Has failed to impress since returning from her layup but will be padded this time which could make all the difference
  105. MARIE DE L’AUNAY – Encouraged earlier in the year but has been out of sorts over recent months and will have nothing to offer
  106. MADO – Placed under these conditions last December but latest form does little to inspire confidence
  107. MARILOU D’ERI – Placed in an Amiens Class E 3 weeks ago but failed to repeat last weekend and better options are available
  108. MELODY CHANTEREINE – Well-engaged at the limit of earnings, however she has run 19 times. Has displayed considerable aptitude for her new vocation though and, if applied, can impose
    Summary: MELODY CHANTEREINE (18) is not always at her ease but she has shown considerable potential and can get off the mark if Esteban De Jesus manages to keep her focused long enough. Winner at Bordeaux earlier in the year, MONDAINE (9) will have work behind her for her return to the discipline and will be expected to apply the pressure, as will a competitively-shod MANA TEJY (12) who will be race-fit by now, and a padded MY WAY PIYA (5) whose recent monte debut did not go unnoticed. MO CUISHLE DESTHER (10) will be barefoot for the first time and Antonin André can be justifiably confident.

    C8 – PRIX DE BAGNOLES DE L’ORNE – 2050m (a1m1/4) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 22,000
  109. NETCHE BEST – Useful element that was put away after running 3rd over course and distance in early-January. Has not been seen out since but should nevertheless hold his own
  110. NEPTUNE PIERJI – Debuted modestly in an Enghien Class B under the saddle last week. Will have progressed for the run but cannot be considered a player
  111. NEW SPIRIT – Made up for 2 eliminations when 4th in a Mauquenchy Class D on 4 June. Will have improved for the race and could contest a place in the frame this time
  112. NUAGE MYSTIC – Eliminated more often than not but opened his account at Laval 2 weeks ago. Sports 4 pads for the first time and the draw will do his chances no harm. Attention
  113. NO SECRET – Ran valiant 4th in a Caen Class D on 22 June. Has yet to get off the mark but looks close to his race and has a realistic chance of giving NOBEL DE TILLARD (6) a run for his money
  114. NOBEL DE TILLARD – Has met no opposition in either start to date. Comes here fresh but will have work behind him and is easy to like for the win
  115. NERPRUN – Has yet to lose his maiden tag but has always finished in the thick of things. Has not been seen out for 2 months but is competitively-shod for the first time and with Alexis Collette in the bike will be no pushover
  116. NOMADE DU VALVIC – Qualified respectably at Caen in January but was trounced on his debut at Montmirail last Sunday and is not about to upset the status quo
    Summary: Superb winner on February debut, NOBEL DE TILLARD (6) repeated the following month in similar fashion. He has not raced since but is plainly in race-mode and with a leading driver in the bike can keep his unbeaten record intact. That being said, NO SECRET (5) is back on track and from the 5 slot will be no soft touch. NEW SPIRIT (3) is still somewhat green but he encouraged at Mauquenchy a month ago and a return to racing right-handed may be just the ticket.

    R3 FEURS [L-H]

C1 – PRIX ATRIAL – 2850m (a2m) – Class G Amateur Drivers – Harness – EUR € 6,000

  1. INDIGO – Only moderate of late and finished 7th in a class G over this track and trip on 20 June. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  2. JOB DE CORDAY – A winner of a class G over this track and trip on 20 June. Has disqualification issues but can double up
  3. INDIE DE YOR – Unplaced in a class F at Jullianges over 2425m on 21 June.Battling to find best form and others are preferred
  4. IDRA DESBOIS – Unreliable and was uplaced in a class H at Oraison over 3225m on 26 April. Others make much more appeal
  5. JANA D’ARMOR – In good form and was fourth in a class F at Enghien over 2875m on 25 June. Remains barefoot and has claims in an open race
  6. INDY VET – Only modest of late and finished 9th in a class G over this course and distance on 20 June. Capable of earning some money
  7. JENNY LEGEND – Successful twice in last three starts including last time out in a class G at Hyeres over 2650m on 26 June. Remains barefoot and could score again
  8. JIPSY DES AIRES – Not reliable and was unplaced in a class F at Vichy over 2150m on 18 June. Capable of doing better and is not out of it
  9. INCAS D’EURVAD – Disqualified in a class H at Cluny over 2700m on 8 May. Not reliable but is capable of being a threat to these rivals if in the right mood
  10. HULK DU SABLIER – Unreliable and finished fifth in a class G mounted race at Saint-Galmier over 2650m on 28 June. Needs to do more to score
    Summary: A competitive looking opening race. Charley Mottier sends out two leading chances in this race , including JANA D’ARMOR (5), who is in good form and no longer needs to prove herself at this level. JENNY LEGEND (7), a recent winner in this grade, JIPSY DES AIRES (8), who has already scored on this track with her rider, and INCAS D’EURVAD (9), returning to the sand, look best equipped to challenge her.

  11. NEVER SEEN – Not reliable and finished 6th in a class F at this track over 2225m on 20 June. Better in this class and has claims
  12. NATURE MAGIQUE – Showed some improvement when third in a class G at Moulins-la-Marche over 2225m on 28 June. Can be competitive once again
  13. NYMPHEA DU MONT – Disappointing form of late and was 10th in a class F at Vichy over 2200m on 23 June. Capable of an upset on best form
  14. NEIGE TURGOT – Showed some improvement when fourth in a class F at Marseille-Borely over 2300m on 24 June. Clearly not out of it
  15. NEED YOU SAMAC – Disqualified twice in a row, including last time out in a class F at this track over 2225m on 20 June. Can be a threat if staying in stride
  16. NAREDGIO MENUET – Finished fifth in a class B mounted race at Vincennes over 2700m on 16 June. Quite capable of making the frame
  17. NOBLESS ANGEL – Unreliable and finished 7th in a class G at Bollene over 2300m on 28 June. Needs to do a bit more to beat these rivals
  18. NOSTALGIE CENE – Unreliable and finished 6th in a class D mounted race at Vichy over 2950m on 30 June. Has a chance with David Békaert driving
  19. NAVALE GEMA – A three-year-old filly by Un Amour d’Haufor out of Paflosa Gédé who is making her debut. Her Dam won 7 of her 42 starts. Could contest the finish

  22. NORDEN – Has struggled so far and was unplaced in a class D mounted race at Vichy over 2950m on 30 June. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  23. NO LIMIT DE CHENU – Finished 7th on debut in a claimer at Neuille-Pont-Pierre over 3025m on 26 April. More is needed to beat these rivals dropped in distance
  24. NAPOLITAIN RANAIS – Has only been modest so far and finished 7th in a class F at Vichy over 2950m on 29 June. Capable of improvement and could earn some money
    Summary: A very open looking race. The consistent NEVER SEEN (1) finds a good opportunity to get off the mark in this very modest field. Entrusted to capable drivers, NEED YOU SAMAC (5) is capable of scoring if staying on the trot. NOSTALGIE CENE (8) has already changed stables three times but is not without a chance this time. tTe debutante NAVALE GEMA (9) also warrants a mention from a trainer that knows what is needed to win on debut.

    Summary: A recent winner, MAYA DE LA NOE (4) thrives with Benjamin Rochard and looks hard to beat. However, she will face a strong challenge from the useful MATA HARI TURGOT (7), who shaped well on her return. MAYA GRIFF (8), much improved when racing barefoot, and MA SUPERB CHENOU (1), who benefits from a more comfortable shoeing setup, also have solid claims.

    Summary: MAMBO DU GOUTIER (1), a winner on his reappearance in new colours, and MALIN DE L’ANTE (2), presented in his optimal configuration, will have the advantage of starting from the front line and are therefore preferred to MARQUIS D’ARM (12), already a winner at Vichy, and MILLENIUM JOSSELYN (13), who had no luck at La Capelle. Fully barefoot for the first time, he could take another step forward.

  62. LE GRAND MASSIF – Successful in Class F at Vichy over 2950m on 10 May. Has shown improvement of late and may just follow up
    Summary: A very interesting and competitive looking event. Beaten by LEXKI DU GERS (6) over this course and distance last time out , the consistent LUCKY CHARM (5) now has the assistance of Benjamin Rochard and can turn the tables. LE GRAND MASSIF (11) made a strong impression at Vichy and can also aim for victory. LOUSTIC DE CHENU (4), who remains partnered with David Békaert, also has a say to the outcome.

    Summary: A very tricky race and it might be worth taking a shot with a front-running type, INVICTUS ELLIS (7) has the opportunity to follow up after a convincing win in the amateurs’ ranks. The main opposition comes from the second line, with IN THE AIR DELO (14), JET DES PRES (11) and IBIZA DE BOURGOGNE (10), all in form but not noted for their winning strike rates. From the front line, others may also have a say.

    Summary: In red-hot form, KOUREAS D’ELA (7) thrives with Benjamin Rochard and is expected to notch up a fourth consecutive victory. KINGSMAN D’EOLE (9) is the class act of the field and shapes as his main rival. From the front line, KABRIEL (4) and NOBBY STILES BOKO (1), partnered respectively by Théo Briand and David Békaert, will not make things easy for them and are also capable of getting involved with the finish.

  95. KALY D’EOLE – Disqualified in three of last four starts, including last time out in Class G at Vichy over 2200m on 23 June. Not easy to trust but can contest the finish when smart
    Summary: A competitive lucky last race. LARGO WIND (6) has finished outside the top three only twice in ten starts under the saddle. He may be returning from a break, but Charley Mottier excels at preparing his horses for a comeback. In excellent form, LE ROI MARGOT (8) looks best placed to challenge him. KALY D’EOLE (10) is worth another chance, while KATHARINA DE MAI (3), partnered by Benjamin Rochard, also enters the equation.

  1. JALMOUD – Beaten 13 lengths into 5th place in a Conditions race over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on 2 June. It was against a competitive field and he raced greenly so will come on for the experience
  2. PLACE DU TROCADERO – Not beaten far when 6th in a Conditions race over 1350m at Cholet on 1 June. That was not a bad debut run and now he will have Maxime Guyon in the irons
  3. SHARON – Finished 9th in a Conditions race over 1350m at Cholet on 1 June. Looks well held by others on that run
  4. DEFI – A poor 11th in a Conditions race over 1000m at Deauville on 7 April. Will need to find more on that debut effort if he has to issue a challenge
  5. BOLROL FAL – A progressive 3rd in a Conditions race over 1400m at Strasbourg on 16 June. He has come on really well from his moderate debut and there could be more to come
  6. EBROSINDRA – Well beaten when 6th in a Claimer over 1000m at Nantes on 16 June. On form he is looks unlikely to trouble his opposition
  7. BIG JET PLANE – A close-up 3rd in a Conditions race over 1350m at Cholet in 1 June. That was a really decent second run and further progress can be expected
  8. SAID EL FNA – A moderate 7th in a Conditions race over 1200m at Marseille Borely on 12 June. Has finished 7th in both starts and will need to find more to feature
  9. BLACKSKAR – Unraced 2yo gelding by Zaskar out of Brazen Beau mare Betty Noir trained by Amy Murphy. Dam’s first foal to race but comes from an in-form stable that does well with young horses
  10. NO SOLO – Unraced 2yo colt by Recoletos out of Wootton Bassett mare Bassette trained by Henri-Alex Pantall. Nicely bred colt from a strong maternal sprinting line
    Summary: JALMOUD (1) may have been well beaten in his debut run but it was against a decent field and he had a lot go wrong for him due to his inexperience. Despite all that he kept up his gallop right to line and should come on in leaps and bounds. The biggest challenge could come from two unraced runners, BLACKSKAR (9) who has a weight advantage and is from an in-form yard and well bred NO SOLO (10). BIG JET PLANE (7) continues to improve.

  15. PERIWINKLE – Performed well enough on debut to finish 7th in a conditions race over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on 2 June. Improvement is expected on that decent run
  16. ASIMA – Unraced 2yo filly by Golden Horde out of Kodiac mare Alash Orda trained by Henri-Alex Pantall. She is related to Gr3 winner Altyn Orda and could get her racing career off to a promising start

    Summary: Of the fillies who have raced, ANOTHER CHANCE (4) stands out. She won a Claimer on debut, followed up with a close-up 5th in another Claimer and has changed trainers once again. She should also benefit from the longer trip. Supplemented ELROMA (12) is well bred and this unraced filly should be competitive on debut. Well-related ASIMA (6) and HUNDER THE MOON (7) are two more well-bred first-timers who should run well.

    Summary: VALIKA (5) is very well bred and comes from a powerful stable. She could have a bright future in this race for late-developing unraced horses. ALJADARA (8) is one of three runners representing the Godolphin stable and is by Dubawi. D’ARTAGNAN (4) is trained by Andreas Schuetz who is in good form and needs to be respected. ELLE ECLIPSE (9), to be ridden by Alexis Pouchin, is one of two entries from the Fabre stable.

  46. MARANELLO – Not beaten far when 8th in a Claimer over 2000m at Nancy on 5 June. Will have a lot more to do to trouble this field
  47. VOGUE A L’AME – Finished 8th in a Handicap over 2000m at Nancy on 20 May. Has yet to place in a race and looks unlikely to do that in this event
  48. PETITE ABEILLE – A moderate 9th in a Handicap over 2200m at ParisLongchamp on 18 June. With the weight claim of Léo-Paul Bréchet she could place
  49. CAPOUCHINE – A poor 10th in a Claimer over 2000m at Compiegne on 13 June. Form is dismal and is best left alone
  50. ROI DU CIEL – A close-up 2nd in a Handicap over 2200m at ParisLongchamp on 18 June. Touched off on the line, he now looks ready to pick up a Handicap
  51. DANAFLO – Ran 6th in a Handicap over 1800m at ParisLongchamp on 15 June. Finished at the head if the beaten pack she has had her rating dropped
  52. MIA FAST – Ran 8th in a Handicap over 1800m at Compiegne on 9 June. Has not placed for some time and cannot be followed
    Summary: ROI DU CIEL (14) did everything but win in his last start at ParisLongchamp and looks ready to atone for that narrow defeat. POSSI (7) has been supplemented into this race and as she has placed off a higher rating in her only other Handicap, she should be competitive. DANAFLO (15) will be assisted by a light weight and that brings her into the race. FANZI CHOP (2) could be a threat with Maxime Guyon up.

    Summary: MISS TECH (2) is holding solid form and wasn’t disgraced last time out. The drop in trip should suit and she will play a leading role. GREY REIGN (1) got the job done is nice style last time out and she rates a strong chance with Maxime Guyon set to take the ride. SOCIANDO (5) put his best foot forward to land the spoils last time out and with more improvement on the cards, he can challenge strongly. DEVIL’STORY (3) has the right type of form to be competitive here and will be bang there.

    Summary: AFOGADO (5) has been racing against a lot stronger and will be far more effective in this grade. He will have a big say in the outcome. TOMAKAY (2) has been holding solid form this year and looks ready to win. Mikael Barzalona retains the ride and he is one of the leading chances.

    Summary: TREVOR SENORA (1) has come well in 2026 having already notched up three wins and looks poised for another big effort. AMOR A MANI (12) has found one too good at her last three and from an ideal draw, she could go one better. FORCE TRANQUILLE (3) was rewarded for consistency with a solid win and can certainly go back to back. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN (8) is another who is running very well at present and demands the utmost of respect here.

    Summary: INSTRUIT (9) appears to be back to his best, as evidenced by his recent runner-up finish at Salon-de-Provence, and is taken to go one better. Despite a higher handicap mark following his victory at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat on May 23, MIKEY (1) cannot be ignored. LAUPER (4) is better than his latest performance suggests and deserves consideration for each-way support. GARRIS (5) is also in good form and, despite carrying a penalty, remains capable of making his presence felt.

ENBAKIRUN (3), the second-highest-rated runner in the field, returns to claiming company with strong claims. SPIRIT BOY (2) produced a solid performance in stronger company last time and is one to keep a close eye on.

She can reverse form with NERON DE LA BRUNIE (6) , who opened his account when winning last time and looks like the main threat. FRENESIE DU PECOS (3), whom he comfortably held at La Teste into third that day is another that can not be ignored. RAPIDE DA CLODIA AA (8) makes up the shortlist making the trip from Italy.

  43. ARKADY – Gelding on debut by Galiway, the dam never raced. Nice profile and from a respected trainer. Can make the frame on his racecourse bow
  44. ISLES DE BATZ – Gelding by Anodin, the dam was placed twice. Stable runners are well prepared and any market influence could prove informative
  45. LAGER – Unraced gelding by Siyouni, the dam never raced. Full-brother to the smart Mise En Scene ( Gr.3) winner. Nice pedigree and he can be expected to play a prominent role
    Summary: SQUARE DU CROISIC (9) looks like the most likely winner, he is trained by an astute trainer that knows the time of day. He can be expected to know what is required.

ISLES DE BATZ (11) is one to monitor in the betting for any market interest, as is LAGER (12), who is fill-brother to a Group 3 winner and could be useful.

She can get the better of CHAMAWAVE (7), who won on debut at this track and was far from disgraced when not beaten far on her latest start. NOLLY DE PAULHAC (10) was a close second to the main selection on June 3 and deserves close attention again. NEO DE LA BRUNIE (2), an impressive debut winner, completes the shortlist.
    SELECTIONS
    NAUSICAA TROIS AA (1) – CHAMAWAVE AA (7) – NOLLY DE PAULHAC AA (10) – NEO DE LA BRUNIE AA (2)
    C6 – PRIX YVES FREMIOT – HOTEL IBIS TARBES ODOS – 1500m (a7f1/2) – TURF – Class 4 Handicap – Flat – EUR € 13,400
  58. ARIANE – Poor form of late, well beaten over 1400m in a Class 4 claimer at Toulouse on the last outing on June 8. One to avoid
  59. AMITY – Tad below expectations last time out when 9th at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 4 handicap on June 15. Place possibilities
  60. ELUSIVE NELSON – Finished 6th last time over 1600m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 4 handicap on June 13, and a win before that over 1700m at Marseille Borely on May 18. Merits consideration
  61. BOEZA – Finished 5th last time over 1600m in a Class 4 handicap on June 11. Not the most reliable and can be opposed
  62. KING OF THE WORLD – Two tame efforts of late, the latter over 1400m at Dax in a Class 4 handicap on June 29. Two wins in April and he needs to bounce back to form
  63. MALWINA BELLA – Below par last time, 5th previously in a Class 4 handicap on April 27 over 1600m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat. Can be on the premises
  64. VALZAK – Has been placed on the last three runs, 2nd on the most recent over 1900m in a Class 4 handicap at La Teste on June 3. Player
  65. ROSADORA – Recent 4th over 1550m at Montauban in a Class 4 race on June 14. Might find a few of these too smart
  66. MADIGAN – Two good runs recently, a win two runs back in May and a recent 4th at La Teste in a Class 4 handicap on June 11. Hard to ignore
  67. WATHAB – Recent success over 1800m in a Class 4 race at Langon -Libourne on June 19. MOre needed in what looks a stronger race
  68. ADELA – Better effort to be 2nd last time out over 1600m at La Teste in a Class 4 handicap on June 11. One to consider each-way
  69. MARQUISE VERA – Decent 3rd last time over 1600m at La Teste in a Class 4 handicap on June 11, and placed before that . One to keep onside
  70. RICHMOND – Failed to feature in four runs this year, the most recent over 1900m at La Teste on March 21 in a Class 4 handicap. Hard to fancy
  71. ATLANTA – She has not featured in five runs this year, 8th on the latter over 1600m in a Class 4 handicap on June 11. Out of form and can be opposed
    Summary: VALZAK (7) could prove the best option in this open handicap. He has been in consistent form of late and gets the vote ahead of MADIGAN (9), who arrives on the back of two solid performances, including a victory at Montauban in May. ADELA (11) appeals as a sound each-way proposition, while MARQUISE VERA (12), who is well treated at the foot of the handicap, is another capable of making her presence felt.
    SELECTIONS
    VALZAK (7) – MADIGAN (9) – ADELA (11) – MARQUISE VERA (12)
    C7 – PRIX AKBAR – 1500m (a7f1/2) – TURF – Condition – Flat – EUR € 16,000
  72. TARIQ – Two unplaced runs of late, a win before that over 1800m in a Listed PA race at Al Ain (UAE) on February 3. Live chance
  73. ZAKYNA AL ZARAYAN – Finished 7th over 1600m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a conditions race on June 15 last time out. Course and distance winner in October. One to take seriously
  74. SO’UD – Two 6th place runs in the UAE of late, the latter at Meydan in a Group 2 PA race over 1600m on March 6. Capable of playing a lead role
  75. AL MOUSTAKIM – Placed 4th on the last run over 1600m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a conditions race on June 15. One to consider
  76. ASHALEEA DU NIL – Recent 5th in a conditions race at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on June 15. Not the most consistent and others preferred
  77. S W MUNJIZAH – Unplaced on all four runs, 9th at this track in a conditions race over 2100m on May 11 when last seen. Unlikely to trouble some of these
    Summary: TARIQ (1) has been competing in Group 1 Purebred Arabian contests on his last two starts without success. Prior to that, he landed a Listed Purebred Arabian race in February and is taken to prove too strong for SO’UD (3), who has also been campaigning in the United Arab Emirates recently. ZAKYNA AL ZARAYAN (2) is expected to improve for her recent outing in June and should not be overlooked, having won over this course and distance last October.
    SELECTIONS – TARIQ (1) – SO’UD (3) – ZAKYNA AL ZARAYAN (2) – AL MOUSTAKIM (4)
