R1 CABOURG [R-H]

C1 – PRIX MICHEL D’ORNANO – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 29,000

  1. LET’S GO MAURICIEN – Has been on a fine run of form since early-May, most recently third in a Class E at Clairefontaine over 2900m on 12 July. Takes on a better bunch this time though and chances appear limited
  2. LITCHI DU BISET – Runner-up in a Class E at St Jean De Monts over 2625m on 12 July. Excels at Cabourg but may just be taking on too much this time
  3. LUTIN DES ARRIS – Unexceptional 8th in a Class D at Enghien over 2875m on 9 July. Tricky element that has yet to deliver right-handed, and is never easy to gauge, but the new configuration may be just the ticket
  4. LE LAUREAT DU PARC – Finished 2nd in a Class D at Hyeres over 2650m on 26 June after having imposed at Reims 3 weeks earlier. Won his only start at the venue and returns with a decent hand to play
  5. LIVE YOUR DREAMS – Disqualified in a Class D at Enghien over 2875m on 9 July after having run 2nd at Vincennes and Nort-sur-Erdre. Trainer back in the bike but is still worth monitoring
  6. KALYPSO DE THIERRE – Finished 4th in a Class F at Montier En Der over 3025m on 5 July, a fortnight after having imposed at Le Touquet. In this company though, prospects appear slim
  7. LUCIANO ROYAL – Showed improvement when third in a Class E at Le Mont St Michel over 2675m on 16 July, but is biting off more than he can chew this time
  8. LOUPIAC – Finished 4th in a Class D at La Capelle over 1800m on 7 July. Has been knocking at the door since April and, already a winner here, is unlikely to let the side down
  9. LOUSTIC DE FLAM – Was being conditioned when 11th in a Class D under these conditions on 17 July. Has won all 3 with his driver who will be eager to keep that fact relevant
  10. LE POETE BOURBON – Surprise winner of a Class D at Le Mont St Michel over 2600m on 30 June, however a repeat seems most improbable
  11. LE CAPORAL – Was runner-up in a Class D at La Capelle over 2750m on 19 June. Is clearly close to securing a 3rd victory this year and must be considered a player
  12. LUTIN JABA – Disqualified in last 2 starts, the latest a Class D at Pornichet over 2725m on 16 July. Has been re-shod for the occasion, has previously won under these conditions, but others still preferred
  13. LULU JIVE – 4th in a Class E at Bernay over 2800m on 12 July. Is as capable going right-handed as left- and, considering the entry, will be no easy touch
  14. LOOK MESLOIS – Eliminated in 3 of last 4 starts, the latest a Class D at Enghien over 2875m on 27 June. Trainer could not have wished for a better entry and will be will be dangerous if applied
    Summary: This looks an open contest. LOUSTIC DE FLAM (9), who will be shod to preference as he puts his unbeaten record with Yoann Lebourgeois on the line, LOOK MESLOIS (14), for whom everything will depend on his mood, LULU JIVE (13), who is also ideally-engaged, and LE CAPORAL (11), who seldom disappoints, are all in with a realistic shout.
    SELECTIONS
    LOUSTIC DE FLAM (9) – LOOK MESLOIS (14) – LULU JIVE (13) – LE CAPORAL (11)
    C2 – PRIX DES FUSCHIAS – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 29,000
  15. KONFINEMENT – Finished 7th in a Class H at Montier En Der over 3025m on 18 July, his first appearance since December. Is shod as he was when victorious at Reims that day but still no more than a minor place chance
  16. KALLISTO DE LASTEL – In the thick of things for the most part and was not disgraced when fifth in a Class F over 2725m here on 17 July, but still has more to find
  17. KIRWAN THORIS – Was fifth in a Class F at La Gacilly over 3100m on 5 July before coming 7th in a Class F at Bagnoles-de-l’Orne 9 days later, and is unlikely to create an upset
  18. JUDICIOUS DAYDREAM – Finished 3rd in a Class F at Saint Malo over 2950m on 9 July, confirming 21 June performance at Les Andelys. Is new to Cabourg and is not a priority but cannot be entirely discounted either
  19. KARAMEL JOYEUX – Made up for comeback elimination when 3rd in a Class F at Chinon over 3100m on 12 July. Has placed just once in 4 Cabourg starts but on good behaviour can get in on the action
  20. JOBIC KERGWEN – Disqualified in a Class F at Les Sables d’Olonne over 2775m on 15 July. Has done nothing noteworthy all year and is unlikely to start now
  21. JEAGLE DREAM – Showed improvement on Vichy performance when 5th in a Class F at Chinon over 3100m on 12 July. Is unlikely to set Cabourg alight but has form here and warrants respect
  22. JAZZ DES MANIS – Gives a good account for the most part but out of the picture in last 2, most recently 12th in a Class F at Chinon over 3100m on 12 July, and can expect to have few takers
  23. KYMI JACK – Runner-up in a Class F at Vichy over 2800m on 23 June, putting his Chateaubriant clinker behind him. Has never disappointed under these conditions and is unlikely to start now. Chance
  24. KENAVO TUILERIE – Blows hot and cold but ran fourth in a Class F at Chinon over 3100m on 12 July. Has already won twice at the venue, benefits from a superb entry on the front row, and can play a leading role
  25. KOUROUX – Ran 3rd at Vincennes in May prior to coming 6th in a Class F at Le Touquet over 2600m on 20 June. Raced better that day than the result would suggest and should logically show improvement
  26. JANNIG D’EREVAN – Finished 4th in a Class E over 2725m here on 3 July. Has been entrusted to Benjamin Rochard for the first time and, penalty or not, will be no pushover if focused
  27. KASH QUICK – Secured the hat-trick when comfortably winning a Class F at Chinon over 3100m on 5 July. Excels in current configuration and even from the back line can make it 4 on the trot
    Summary: KASH QUICK (13) is chasing a sixth victory of the year, and a fourth in succession, but KYMI JACK (9) and KENAVO TUILERIE (10) are wonderfully-engaged on the front line and have the means to make life difficult for him. JANNIG D’EREVAN (12), provided he stays in stride, is also capable of fighting out the finish.
    SELECTIONS
    KASH QUICK (13) – KYMI JACK (9) – KENAVO TUILERIE (10) – JANNIG D’EREVAN (12)
    C3 – PRIX OUEST FRANCE (PRIX DES LISTERES) – 2750m (a1m1/2) – – Mounted – EUR € 24,000
  28. KALMIA DES NOES – Disqualified last time out in a harness Class F at Saint Pierre La Cour over 2600m on 14 July. Is new to the monte discipline and others easier to support
  29. KARINE DU DOLLAR – 8th in a Class F over course and distance on 14 July. Continues to race barefoot but still needs to find more
  30. QUEEN OF THE NIGHT – Finished 4th in a harness Class F over 2725m here on 3 July. Is new to the ridden code but, with form maintained, could pick up some prizemoney
  31. KALINE DE LA COUR – Was fourth in a harness Class F at Craon over 2775m on 6 July, 9 days after having imposed under the saddle, and is eminently capable of confirming
  32. HERINA SOTTO – Fifth in a Class F at Laval over 2850m on 5 July, at 93-1, and is not about to repeat
  33. JASMINE DE LYONS – Disqualified last time out in a Class H at Monpazier over 3125m on 5 July. Has a preference for turf and with shoes fitted will have nothing to contribute
  34. KELLY CHARLY ERA – Returns to the monte code after being eliminated in a harness Class D at Laval over 2850m on 19 June. Has previously imposed in the day’s configuration and looks a serious threat to KALINE DE LA COUR (4)
  35. ILIE DE TOUCHYVON – Modest 10th in a Class F under these conditions on 14 July and in this category has no possible chance
  36. KANELLE D’OUVILLE – Should not be too hastily-judged for finishing 9th on monte debut in a Class F under these conditions on 14 July. Will have come on for the race, is plainly in fine fettle, and must not be underestimated
  37. JUNON DES ROSES – Was victorious in an amateurs harness Class G over course and distance on 21 July. Faces a stiffer test this time but still has the wherewithal to make first 5
  38. JAKA DU RUEL – Tenacious runner-up in a Class F over course and distance on 14 July. Has solid form when padded and the entry will do her chances no disservice
  39. JOYCE DE LA COUR – Makes just 2nd appearance under the saddle, this time after being successful in a harness Class E at Vichy over 1609m on 1 July, and is worth retaining for minor honours
    Summary: KALINE DE LA COUR (4) left her rivals trailing at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 27 June and, shod as she was that day, will bid to remain unbeaten with Paul Maugendre-Le Meur. He will still want to be wary of a re-shod KELLY CHARLY ERA (7), who may lack experience under the saddle but who was unlucky under harness at Laval last time, and a padded JAKA DU RUEL (11) who is at the top of her game. KANELLE D’OUVILLE (9), is better than most others here and is worth another chance.
    SELECTIONS
    KALINE DE LA COUR (4) – KELLY CHARLY ERA (7) – JAKA DU RUEL (11) – KANELLE D’OUVILLE (9)
    C4 – PRIX HENRI BALLIERE – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 33,000
  40. JADOR JOSSELYN – Disqualified last time out in a Class E at Cabourg over 2750m on 14 July, having run 2nd at Castéra-Verduzan in late-June, and with application can get a look in
  41. KOBRA JENILOU – Disqualified in a Class F at Bernay over 2800m on 12 July, having won 2 of previous 3 before the spell. Sports 4 pads as he did when victorious at Lisieux in March and with stride in check will have his chances
  42. KAMTCHATKA – Made up for early-July elimination when 4th in a Class F at Le Mont St Michel over 2675m on 16 July. Returns to a track at which she excels but at this level may struggle to make her mark
  43. KAJAGOOGOO – Finished 5th in a Class D at Le Mont St Michel over 2600m on 30 June, however a repeat seems most unlikely
  44. KONSTANCIA D’OYSE – Was third in a Class F at Le Mont St Michel over 2675m on 16 July, having imposed over 2725m here a fortnight earlier. Thrives with her handler reining and will be a tough nut to crack
  45. KUSAERI – Runner-up in last 2, the latest a Class E at Caen over 2450m on 10 June. Comes here fresh, is confirmed at the venue, and will be competitive when it matters
  46. KEOPS BEGONIA – Finished 6th in a Class F at Clairefontaine over 2900m on 12 July after 3 straight sanctions, but has never disappointed at Cabourg and should figure prominently at the business end of the race
  47. KRONA VIKING – Ran 3rd in a Class F at Rambouillet over 2800m on 5 July. Appears to be back on the right road but others still preferred
  48. KAISER TURGOT – Finished 7th in a Class F at Clairefontaine over 2900m on 12 July when being conditioned for this. Is competitively-shod this time and looks the one to beat
  49. JAB KISS – Was fifth in a Class E at Cabourg over 2725m on 3 July after having imposed at Lisieux a fortnight earlier. Is not a priority but is in good enough shape to play a small part
  50. KENOR DESBOIS – Made up for Caen elimination when third in a Class D at Caen over 2200m on 18 June. Is new to Cabourg but benefits from a terrific entry and will not be far from the action if he takes to the new profile
  51. JOKER DU MATCH – Has been on a productive run of form all season, most recently second in a Class F at Amiens over 2900m on 10 July, but may be taking on too much this time
  52. KENTUCKY FIRST – Has not been seen out since winning a Class E at Vincennes over 2700m on 21 March. Shoes on and best to keep one’s powder dry
  53. KASSYA – Finished 5th in a Class D at Laval over 2850m on 25 June after having imposed at Le Croise-Laroche earlier in the month. Incurs the penalty but should nevertheless hold her own
  54. INITIALE LILA – Disqualified in a Class F at Lisieux over 2725m on 2 July following some respectable spring performances, however in this company will be meeting her match
  55. HORACE D’ARTHENAY – Well-engaged here and was fifth in a Class E at Enghien over 2150m on 4 July, but sports shoes this time and best to hold off
    Summary: KAISER TURGOT (9) appears to be back on the right road, sports modified shoeing, has been prepared for this ideal opportunity, and the engagement of Yoann Lebourgeois will only work in his favour. Still lightly raced for 6 year-olds, KONSTANCIA D’OYSE (5) and a padded KOBRA JENILOU (2) are far from the finished article and must be considered contenders. KUSAERI (6) quickly returned to form after a break and commands respect. KEOPS BEGONIA (7) remains tricky but retains the confidence of his connections and has the ability to feature if Mathieu Mottier keeps him focused.
    SELECTIONS
    KAISER TURGOT (9) – KONSTANCIA D’OYSE (5) – KOBRA JENILOU (2) – KUSAERI (6)
    C5 – PRIX PASCAL GUILBERT – 2750m (a1m1/2) – – Harness – EUR € 23,000
  56. LOVE ME COCO – Was fourth in a Class H at Molieres over 2500m on 5 July. Has not got her head in front this year, and is unlikely to this time either, but can nevertheless hold her own
  57. LUCIOLE DES ARRIS – Put 4 straight sanctions behind her when fourth in a Class F over 2725m here on 17 July. Will be shod as she was that day but others still easier to trust
  58. LIESVILE DU VIVIER – Disqualified in a Class F over course and distance on 7 July. Is not the most courageous of horses and can be passed over
  59. LADY VALENTINE – Sprang something of a surprise when third in a Class F at Chinon over 3100m on 5 July. Has no particular liking for Cabourg and can expect to have few friends
  60. LEXIA – Useful on a good day but comes here on the back of 3 straight eliminations, and would have better prospects on turf
  61. LOZANA HOLLANDIA – Disqualified last time out in a Class F at Reims over 2500m on 20 June. Was going well that day though and, with Benjamin Rochard in the bike, can redeem herself
  62. LADY DE BEYLEV – Eliminated in a Class E at La Capelle over 2750m on 19 June. Won on sole association with her driver and from the front row must be afforded respect
  63. LONDON LADY – Failed to confirm Le Touquet success when fifth in a Class F at Montier En Der over 3025m on 5 July. Is new to the venue but starts in front and can get a look in if she takes to the new conditions
  64. LIBRA SUPREME – Finished 6th in a Class F at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2650m on 15 July. Races clockwise for the first time and is not an obvious choice
  65. LUTECE D’AVIGNERE – Victorious in a Class F over course and distance on 7 July. Florian Desmigneux has stayed faithful and can expect to contest the finish
  66. LOLITA DU STADE – Has been out of sorts for some time, most recently finishing 9th in a Class F at Le Mont St Michel over 2675m on 16 July, and has nothing to offer
  67. LIGUE MESLOISE – 6th in a Class H at Francheville over 2525m 10 days ago when preparing for this. Is barefoot this time, benefits from a terrific entry, and with application can make a big impact
  68. LOYALTY – Outclassed the opposition in a Class F at Laval over 2850m on 5 July. On back line this time but is still easy to like for the double
  69. LOUBIANA DU BOURG – Finished 7th in a Class E over track and trip on 3 July. Reliability not her strong suit but, considering the opposition, can play a small role if focused
  70. LADY MAJOR – 6th in a Class D at Le Mont St Michel over 2600m on 30 June. Is by no means the worst horse here, and has been re-shod, but appears to have little in her favour
  71. LEVIOSA – Finished 4th in a Class F at Lisieux over 2725m on 2 July. Seldom disappoints when focused, is nicely-engaged here, and makes her Cabourg bow with a decent hand to play
    Summary: LOYALTY (13), who made a striking impression at Laval last time, a barefoot LIGUE MESLOISE (12), capable of making every yard if focused, a freshly-reconfigured LOZANA HOLLANDIA (6), for whom it will probably be all or nothing once again, and last-start winner LUTECE D’AVIGNERE (10), are preferred ahead of the re-shod LEVIOSA (16), who rarely runs a bad race.
    SELECTIONS
    LOYALTY (13) – LIGUE MESLOISE (12) – LOZANA HOLLANDIA (6) – LUTECE D’AVIGNERE (10)
    C6 – PRIX DES CALLUNES – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 22,000
  72. MADISON – Beautifully-related colt that was eliminated in an Avranches Class H last weekend. Has evident ability and it is just a question of time before he comes good
  73. MILORD D’ISSE – Produced 3 straight sanctions before finishing 5th in a Class F at Saint Malo over 2950m on 9 July. Sports a new formula but still not a concern
  74. MAESTRO DES SARTS – Has looked ordinary in all 3 return runs, latterly 6th in a Class D at Clairefontaine over 2900m on 13 July, and can be ruled out
  75. MY NAME IS FLASH – Scored his 2nd victory of the season when trouncing the opposition in a Class F at Le Mont St Michel over 2675m on 16 July. Is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois, for whom he has already won, and can repeat
  76. MARSTON VICTORY – 6th in a Class E at Cabourg over 2725m on 7 July following 3 fine right-handed performances. Should not be too quickly-judged and ought to be taken seriously
  77. MAESTRO KADESH – Eliminated on comeback in a Carentan Class E on 11 July. Has ability but is expected to need the run
  78. MAGIC CASH QUICK – Made amends for Vincennes elimination when 2nd in a Class E at Lisieux over 2675m on 15 July. Should be fully-fit by now and on good behaviour can finish close
  79. MAGIK UP STAR – Starts for first time since running fifth in a Class D at Enghien over 2875m on 6 March. Is shod for re-entry and best to wait
  80. MAX DE LA NOE – Made it 2 in a row when victorious in a Class E at Pontchateau over 2800m on 4 June. Is barefoot again and has every chance of making the frame once more
  81. MYKONOS – Disqualified in a Class E at Enghien over 2875m on 9 July, just his second start back. Is confirmed racing clockwise and with stride in check will be no soft touch
  82. MULTIPASS – Has ability but is as tricky as they come. Has been disqualified in 3 consecutive starts, the latest a Class E at over course and distance on 7 July, and others easier to trust
  83. MONSIEUR DARLING – Returns to racing clockwise after being eliminated in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2775m on 15 July. Is not about to win this but still has the wherewithal to make first 5
    Summary: MY NAME IS FLASH (4) made a striking impression at Le Mont-Saint-Michel when racing barefoot for the first time, and just gets the vote ahead of MYKONOS (10), who should not be too hastily-condemned for his latest run, MAX DE LA NOE (9), transformed since racing barefoot, and MAGIC CASH QUICK (7), who has taken little time getting back in the game.

    C7 – PRIX DES ERINES – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 29,000
  84. NEO CLASSIQUE – Finished 6th in a Class E at Clairefontaine over 2900m on 12 July. Seems to be better racing left-handed but can still get a look in
  85. NOLIO DU BARBEY – Finished 5th in a Class C over course and distance on 10 July. Is most unlikely to lose his maiden tag but can hold his own
  86. NEW HAVEN WOOD – Still chasing that elusive first win but placed in 2 of last 3, latterly third in a Class D at Enghien over 2150m on 27 June, and should not be underestimated
  87. NAPOLI DU BOUFFEY – Gave a fine account on comeback at Vincennes but failed to confirm when 9th in a Class C at Enghien over 2875m on 1 July. Sports pads this time and, while not a priority, is still worth monitoring
  88. NOBEL DE TILLARD – Ran 4th over shorter on re-entry here before securing a Class E at Clairefontaine over 2900m on 12 July. Sports pads for return to Cabourg and Yoann Lebourgeois will be justifiably bullish
  89. NESQUIK DE BAFFAIS – Won 2 of first 3 starts, all going right-handed, then finished fifth in a Class C at Enghien over 2875m on 1 July. Should appreciate the new conditions and will be no shrinking violet when it matters
  90. NELATI DE MORGANE – Finished 8th in a Class C at Enghien over 2150m on 11 July. Has placed just twice in 17 starts and can be confidently passed over
  91. NASH PERRINE – Disqualified in a Class C at Enghien over 2875m on 1 July after having won 2 of previous 3. With application, though, should more than make amends
  92. NEW ROGER – Has not been seen out since winning a Class C at Chatelaillon over 2500m on 10 May. Has no clockwise references but will have been prepared for this, enjoys a good entry, and can wrap this up
    Summary: Several promising colts line up in this contest, headed by NEW ROGER (9), who is ideally-engaged and entrusted to Benjamin Rochard, NASH PERRINE (8), who should not be judged too harshly for his his recent disqualification, and NOBEL DE TILLARD (5), who returned to winning ways at Clairefontaine. NESQUIK DE BAFFAIS (6) also has the ability to play a leading role.

    C8 – PRIX DES EUPHRAISES – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Mounted – EUR € 22,000
  93. NOUNE DE GAGOU – Untried filly that qualified in 1’19’1 at Caen last December. Has had time to come into herself, hails from a good yard, and is unlikely to be far off the mark
  94. NATURE DU RIB – 8th in a harness Class F at Lisieux over 2725m on 20 June. Will have come on for the race and faces her first real objective with a decent hand to play
  95. NOTRE BERTRANGE – 10th in a Class F over track and trip on 17 July. Has yet to show any flair for the game and even with Adrien Lamy riding still looks an outsider
  96. NOTRE IDOLE – Qualified nicely in June but could manage only 6th in an Agon Class F on debut 10 days ago and needs to find considerably more
  97. NUSICA ASSCHADEL – Ran 6th in a Class F over course and distance on 17 July and is plainly out of her depth once more
  98. NOSTALGIA QUICK – Finished 7th in a Class F under these conditions on 17 July. Has placed just once in 4 starts and is unlikely to spice things up
  99. NOUBA CASTELETS – Debuts in the discipline after 3 straight harness eliminations. Races shod for the occasion and not an obvious choice
  100. NOVELISTA – Eliminated turning for home in a Class F at Lisieux over 2675m on 2 July. Still had the advantage that day and the change of discipline may be just what the doctor ordered
  101. NENA NINETY NINE – Disappointing on the whole to date, most recently 9th in a Class F over course and distance on 17 July, and is not a priority
  102. NANALAND – Finished 8th in a Class F under these conditions on 17 July. Has yet to make the frame under the saddle and is not about to spring a surprise
  103. NIGHT LILOMA – Opened her account after outclassing the opposition in a Class F at Graignes over 2700m on 13 June. Hind shoes back on this time but can still bring the fight to NOVELISTA (8)
  104. NICE HEIDY SANTA – Failed to confirm harness success when 6th in a Class E over 2750m here on 14 July. Debuts in the discipline with Alexis Collette in the irons and will be no easy touch if he manages to keep her focused
  105. NO LIMIT ERCA – Returns to the code after finishing 7th in a harness Class E over 2050m here on 7 July. Is plainly close to her race and, given the entry, must be taken seriously
    Summary: NOVELISTA (8) was going good-guns when eliminated at Lisieux and can make an immediate impact on his ridden debut. A freshly-configured NIGHT LILOMA (11), provided she stays in stride, NO LIMIT ERCA (13), who made the frame in both monte starts, and the unraced NOUNE DE GAGOU (1), from the yard of Jean-Philippe Monclin, look the main dangers.

    R2 LA CAPELLE [L-H]

C1 – PRIX READY CASH – 2700m (a1m1/2) – – Harness – EUR € 21,000

  1. NOUNE D’ECHAL – Made short work of rivals in a Class F at Craon over 2,275m on 6 July. Capable of following up if staying in stride once again
  2. NACREE DE QUARO – Did not show her best when 6th in a Class E at La Capelle over 2,700m on 19 June. Did score on debut and is clearly not out of it
  3. NOISETTE MIKA – Disqualified twice in a row, the latest at Pornicher-La Baule on 16 July. Hard to trust and is probably best watched for now
  4. NINA DU BOCAGE – Has struggled of late and finished 8th in a Class E at Mont St Michel over 2,675m on 16 July. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  5. NYMPHE DE DURBUY – Threatening to win and was runner-up in a Class E at Vittel over 2,700m on 12 July. Should contest the finish once again
  6. NOBLESSE DU CHENE – In good shape and finished 4th in a Class F at Amiens over 2,400m on 10 July. Can get involved with the finish once again if staying in stride
  7. NASHVILLE MENCOURT – Showed promise when third in a Class F at Montier En Der over 2,300m on 5 July. Can earn some more money
  8. NELIA DU BOIS – Not disgraced when 5th in a Class E at Pornichet over 2,725m on 16 July. Capable of being a threat to these rivals as well
  9. NIZZA PRESTANCE – Finished thirdon debut in a class F at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,825m on 2 March. Returns from a break but should be a threat if smart
    Summary: NOUNE D’ECHAL (1) scored easily on the grass at Craon earlier this month and, once again partnered by Paul Ploquin, looks capable of following up. With plenty of scope for improvement, NOBLESSE DU CHENE (6) also has the ability to win a race of this nature. Behind them, the Feelers representatives merit attention: NIZZA PRESTANCE (9), an encouraging third on debut, and NACREE DE CARO (2), who will be driven by a professional, are both worth considering.

  10. LIKE YOU MADRIK – Not reliable and fnished 7th in a claimer at Laon over 2650m on 19 July. Needs to find a few lengths to beat these rivals
  11. LARGO DU PONT – Disqualified twice in last three starts, including last time out at Vittel on 14 July. Successful in his penultimate start and can challenge for top honours if smart
  12. LACKING SPIRIT – Outclassed the opposition in a Class F at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,650m on 11 July. Successful twice in last three starts and can score again
  13. LUTIN DE LA BESVRE – Not disgraced when 5th in a Class F at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,825m on 22 June. Some solid wins before that and deserves the utmost respect
  14. LUNDU DE LOU – Only modest of late and finished fifth in a Class E at Lisieux over 2,675m on 15 July. Might need to do a bit more to beat these rivals
  15. LUPIN DU RIB – Showed promise and was third in a Class F at Cabourg over 2,725m on 14 July. Can be in the mix of things once again
  16. LUC PAASLOO – Finished 8th in a Class E at this course over 1800m on 17 July. Has disqualification issues and others make more appeal
  17. L’ALPHA DE LAUNI – Finished 5th in a Class E at Amiens over 2400m on 11 June. Might play a minor role at very best
    Summary: LACKING SPIRIT (3) made an impressive return to form at Les Sables-d’Olonne and will be a leading contender. LARGO DU PONT (2), who has plenty of stamina, can challenge if he keeps his action together. LUTIN DE LA BESVRE (4), already a winner with his jockey has to be respected. LUPIN DU RIB (6), fitted with front shoes only, could still have enough to secure a place on the podium.

  20. MY QUEEN DELO – Has only been modest of late and was 7th in Class E at Amiens over 2400m on 8 June. On a long losing run but does have a place chance
  21. MAROUBRA – Successful twice in a row, the latest in Class F at Amiens over 2400m on 10 July. Has a chance to complete the hat-trick

She holds solid claims but will face strong opposition from MAROUBRA (4), who has improved markedly since being fitted with hind shoes, and MYRTILLE DE SEE (2), who has also progressed since racing barefoot. Third in a similar contest a month ago, MAYUMI (7) remains cpable of getting involved with the finish.

    Summary: MASTER PIT (3) has dropped in class and looks ready to make a bold bid at scoring. He should be challenged by MOONLIGHT ATOUT (4), who returns to this discipline with legitimate ambitions. MERCURY JIEL (10) remains a tricky horse to handle, but if his driver keeps him focused, he has the ability to fight for top honors. MORRIS DE REUX (2), a narrow winner last time out, appears to have more in hand than the margin suggests and must be respected as well.

    Summary: In outstanding form, LE RIB (8) is chasing a hat-trick and clearly sets the standard. However, he will need to be wary of LOOKIERO (7), a tough competitor who could spring a surprise on his debut in this discipline. Fresh from a victory against older rivals, LIBERTY CASH (10) has an opportunity to confirm her progress. LOVE ET CASH RENKA (6), now well-established in mounted trotting, should also play a prominent role at the finish.

KYRIELLE JOMUNA (8) is a risky but talented option—capable of everything or nothing.

JACKPOT DU DOME (13), who is capable but unreliable, and JAGUAR’S EYES (4) is better than his recent performances suggest and both are lively dangers. NDY PIQUENARD (10) is returning to form and looks set to confirm his improvement and is capable of shining as well.

    Summary: We end the meeting with the most exciting race from a sporting perspective. Despite the small field, it’s wide open. That said, HEAVEN D’ECAJEUL (8) has the class to beat this competition. The real danger will come from JULIANO STILE (9), who finished strongly last time out. JERIKA DE KERYANN (3), who has been improving (5th). She can contend for a place on the podium, as can JEALOUS GIRL (2), who is in top form.

  1. OROPENDOLA – Ran 3rd in a Claimer over 1400m at Dieppe on 18 July. He was well beaten in that race and could do better dropping in distance
  2. DICANTO – A 2-length 2nd in a Claimer over 1200m at Aix Les Bains on 4 July. Has finished close up at this level in his last three starts and should be competitive again
  3. OPIUM OF SUCCESS – A progressive 3rd in a Claimer over 1000m at Dieppe on 23 June. He is showing improvement and should run into the places.
  4. ENFANT PARADIS – Looked moderate when 5th in a Claimer over 1000m at Dieppe on 23 June. Has had many chances and is unlikely to be competitive
  5. PETIT GENIE – Finished 5th in a Claimer over 1400m at La Teste on 15 July. He would do well to place in this race
  6. SAOUDIENNE – Disappointed in a Conditions race over 1200m at Deauville on July. She was well supported to win the Prix de Lisieux but has since changed stables and drops to a Claimer with Maxime Guyon up
  7. ULTIMO MINUTO – A moderate 7th in a Claimer over 1400m at Nantes on 1 July. Could battle to be competitive in this event
  8. OASIS DE BERING – Ran 4th in a Claimer over 1200m at Aix Les Bains on 14 July. That was a four-horse field and she was well beaten.
    Summary: There was a lot of talk about the chances of SAOUDIENNE (6) in the Prix de Lisieux but she failed to deliver the goods. Dropping to a Claimer this time could give her a confidence boost. DICANTO (2) has run consistently well at this level and should be in the mix once again. OPIUM OF SUCCESS (3) showed improvement last time and could place while OROPENDOLA (1) is likely to benefit from the drop in distance.

  11. CHOCOLATE CHEETAH – Finished 6th in a Claimer over 1400m at Dax on 29 June. His rating has fallen significantly and his last run over this course and distance resulted in a victory
  12. DESERT RHAPSODY – Ran 2nd in a race over 1600m at Avenches in Switzerland on 3 July. His two runs in France this year have been good but he drops significantly in distance
  13. ROMA ANTICA – A well-beaten 7th in a Claimer over 1400m at Dax on 29 June. Finished at the back of the field and is best overlooked
  14. AUDELADESETOILES – A mediocre 10th in a Class 3 Handicap at Longchamp over 1,400m on 9 July 2026. Recent form is poor and cannot be considered
  15. BENVENUTI – A poor 9th in a Handicap over 1200m at Aix Les Bains on 7 July. Recent form is mediocre and there is little reason to follow her
  16. LOYAL PRINCE – Has only been modest and finished 6th in a Class 4 Handicap at Aix Les Bains over 1,200m on 7 July 2026. Has run well over this track and trip and warrants respect
  17. THE DIG – Fifth in a Class 4 Handicap at Salon-De-Provence over 1,100m on 17 June 2026. Did have excuses for that last performance but he does have a good record at this course
  18. BOSQUET – Unplaced in a Class 4 Handicap at Aix Les Bains over 1,200m on 7 July 2026. Will need to find more to have a say in this event

  20. GO JOHNNY GO GO GO – Her good run continued when fourth in a Class 4 Handicap at Aix Les Bains over 1,200m on 7 July 2026. Last three runs have all been decent and she should be competitive again
  21. HUR CAT – Finished 6th in a Class 4 Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 1,400m on 5 July 2026. Seems to be better over a little further than this race and could struggle
  22. FORZA BELLA – Ran 14th in a Class 4 Handicap at Le Croise-Laroche over 1,100m on 17 May 2026. Form offers little encouragement and is best overlooked
  23. EXPLORAR – Only modest when 7th in a Class 4 Handicap at Salon-De-Provence over 1,100m on 17 June 2026. Will need to up his game to have a say in the outcome
    Summary: INSTRUIT (2) is currently in good form and has been supplemented into this race. On form he has to be a serious contender. The ratings of both SWEET AS (1) and CHOCOLATE CHEETAH (3) have dropped markedly and although their current form has not been strong, they should both be competitive off their current marks. DESERT RHAPSODY (4) travels from Switzerland but his last two runs in France were good although they were over further.

  27. ASTREA – Winner of a Handicap over1200m at Aix Les Bains on 7 July. She is in top form and will be fitted with a full set of blinkers for the first time
  28. WHY AM I BEAUTIFUL – Not beaten far when 5th in a Handicap over 1200m at Deauville on 12 July. She is still a maiden but has run well in highly competitive races

  30. HORNIG – Finished 8th in a Claimer over 1500m at Marseille Vivaux on 22 May. Up in class, dropping in distance and coming back from a break, so will struggle
  31. EXPERTISE – Not disgraced when fifth in a Class 4 Handicap at Aix Les Bains over 1,200m on 7 July 2026. That was a decent enough effort but more will be needed to trouble this field
  32. KING ROBBE – Not disgraced when fifth in a Class 3 Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 1,200m on 12 June 2026. He has an excellent record at this course and should fight out the finish once again
  33. REVANCHE – Finished 11th in a Class 3 Handicap at Dieppe over 1,100m on 23 June 2026. Will have to work hard to leave her mark on this race
  34. AMAZING GRACE – A mediocre 7th in a Handicap over 1200m at Aix Les Bains on 7 July. She is well held by others on that last run
  35. LARK – A 0.50-length 2nd in a Handicap over1200m at Aix Les Bains on 7 July. That was her Handicap debut and there could be further progress
  36. TUDO BEM – Finished 6th in a Class 3 Handicap at Dieppe over 1,100m on 13 July 2026. Has been moderate of late and will need to up his game to feature
  37. LOR LAGOON – A moderate 8th in a Class 4 Handicap at Dax over 1,400m on 29 June 2026. Will battle in this field and is best overlooked
  38. SHELBYLANDOR – A 0.5-length winner of a Class 3 Handicap at Dieppe over 1,100m on 13 July 2026. Has won her last two but faces stronger this time and has a penalty to deal with
    Summary: A tricky race but ISMAEL PAINT (6), despite his mediocre recent form, is back on track a where he has established an excellent record and could provide bettors with decent returns. There is little to choose between GO KEN GO (3), LARK (12), who has been supplemented into this race, and ASTREA (4) on their last run at Aix Les Bains where they finished third, second, and first respectively. All three need to be considered.

LAETIBEY (1), who also finished runner-up on his latest start, should improve for that outing and rates as the main danger. GHOOD (2) was fourth in the same race and is another with solid claims.

  18. TOOCOOLTOBECOOL – Filly by Galileo Gold, the dam was placed twice from three starts. Can improve for this debut run and is one to watch with the future in mind
  19. LILY ANGEL – Filly by Seabhac, the dam won 2 races. Stable runners tend to need a run or two to reach peak fitness and she is one to watch on her racecourse bow
    Summary: OPERA DIVA (6) made an encouraging start to her career when finishing fourth in a newcomers’ race at Compiègne in late June. She is expected to improve with that experience and gets the vote ahead of DALMORA (3), who also showed plenty of ability when runner-up on her debut at Clairefontaine earlier this month.

He is taken to return to winning ways at the expense of YOHIO (2), who ran a solid second at Senonnes earlier this month. SELF CONTROL (5) has been knocking on the door with several placed efforts and looks capable of breaking through for a deserved success.

    Summary: Veteran performer LIGHT WAKEUP (9) could be the answer in this competitive handicap. He produced a solid third-place finish at Chantilly in late June on his penultimate start and has strong claims of returning to winning ways. His main danger may be NIPPE DE STAR (5), who has been placed on his last two outings and looks overdue for a victory.

    Summary: MAMINOA (4) arrives after two solid performances, the latest at Lyon Parilly when second in a Class 4 on JUne 21. She can go one place better this time and have too much for her main threat. ZAAHIR (7), who is capable of bouncing back to form after four unplaced efforts since a second on the PSF in February. MINO PICO (8) is another to consider and has the ability to have a say in the finish. LES TROIS VALLEES (1) has dropped to a competitive mark and is also worth considering.

  70. MAYBE LONE – Sowed talent when 6th on her sole start at Caraon over 2400m on June 4 in a conditions race. She will know more this time and can not be ruled out
  71. MANTILLE – Three unplaced runs, the latest when 7th over 3100m at Niort in a conditions race on June 20. Look for an alternative
  72. LOLI DE CHAMPCOURT AA – Finished 6th on the one run over 3100m at Corlay in a conditions race on June 28. Others make more appeal
  73. MISTER GABY – Gelding by Prince Gibraltar, the dam won 2 races over jumps. From a trainer that does well with newcomers in this type of race. Bold show likely
  74. MUSIQUE ROYALE – Filly by Nirvana Du Berlais, the dam was placed on the flat and over jumps. Likely to improve for this run unless the betting patterns are lively
  75. MONTECHA EMERY – Filly by Herald The Dawn, the dam was placed on the flat. Nice pedigree and from a respected trainer. The betting can be informative
    Summary: MISTER GABY (9) has an appealing profile and is expected to be well prepared for his debut under Léo-Paul Bréchet. MILIA (5) attracted market support on her latest start but failed to justify that confidence. Her capable connections are likely to have made the necessary adjustments, and she is worth another chance. MET LA GOMME (1) has to concede weight but has shown ability in all four starts and should give another good account. MOND LADY (2) appeals as the best of the remainder.

  79. NINA PIETRA – Showed promise to be 3rd on her sole start at this track over 2400m on June 5. She can improve and warrants close attention

  81. NIKITA DES MOTTES – Filly by Bathyrhon, the dam won 2 races. From a respected trainer and she id one to monitor in the betting for any market support
    Summary: NIRANO DE PALMA (2) has scored on both starts, the latest in what turned out to be a match race at Lyon Parilly late in June. He can be too smart for NUIT DE STAR (1), who took a step forward when he won at Senonnes 22 days ago and has more to come. NINA PIETRA (4) showed talent when third on her debut over this track and trip in early June and can not be excluded.
