Summary: A nice to Daryz, DARYOURA (11), a beautifully bred filly from an outstanding family, represents the formidable Barzalona/Graffard/Aga Khan combination and is taken to make a winning start in this contest for late newcomers. She is preferred to the Wertheimer-owned ZITOLOGUE (10), who is also likely to attract plenty of support. By Dubawi, TRUE DAWN (14) is another with the pedigree to make a significant impact. LHOTSE (13), from the Gérald Mossé stable, and ON THE DOUBLE (3) complete the shortlist.

Summary: CLIMATE CHANGE (8) made the running when runner-up at Saint-Cloud last time, finding only Mont De Soleil too strong, and that form sets a solid standard here. A winner on his sole previous visit to Dieppe, he can again fight out the finish with CURRAGH CAMP (7), the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained colt who has quickly regained top form after an extended absence. LAKOTA BEAU (6) has been progressing nicely and looks capable of making the frame, while the consistent ANY MOON (1), who has been faultless in Germany this season, also commands respect.

Summary: SCREEN SHOT (8) landed the second division of this handicap 12 months ago and is expected to strip fitter for his recent reappearance. TIC TAC (11), unbeaten in two starts at Dieppe, appears to have settled in well since joining Yann Barberot and commands plenty of respect. RINASCERO (1) arrives in excellent form and is another leading contender. LIKE IT OR NOT (2), making his handicap debut, LE ROI LEON (4), who is becoming increasingly well treated, are others to consider.

Summary: LEDESMA (6) has finished on the podium in all four career starts and is presented with an excellent opportunity to get off the mark. Well backed on debut, SACRIFICE (2) finished a creditable third in a useful-looking contest before failing to cope with heavy ground next time, and he is well worth monitoring on his return following gelding. SOUDYA (11) and SPIELER (8), both of whom have already shown their liking for the Dieppe track, look the chief contenders for the minor honours.

GLORI LEADER (1) has been progressing nicely and rates a major threat. NICK BOUTIQUE (6) shaped with plenty of promise last time and merits. BOUSSANT (8) is better than his last start shows and is worth another chance.

Summary: André Fabre fields a strong hand here, with the returning JANNET (2) looking the pick of his pair. A staying filly with plenty of scope, she should not be long in getting her head in front. She is unlikely to have things all her own way, however, with THE LITTLE SWAN (7), who has shaped better than the bare results suggest on her last two outings, and the progressive PAIUTE (10) both posing serious threats. ARANYANI (8) is a filly of considerable ability and should appreciate the return to this trip.

Summary: SERENISSIMUS (7) showed plenty of promise in his first three starts in conditions races. He found wanting on his handicap debut and he has since been freshened up and eased 3lb by the handicapper. MR TEE (10) has been faultless since returning to action and rates the chief danger alongside KING TREZY (9), who looks capable of being competitive from his current mark. ZULU WARRIOR (2) arrives on the back of a confidence-boosting victory. TAMYZ (14) has shaped better than the bare results suggest on his last two outings and, provided things fall his way, has the ability to make the frame.

Summary: A very tricky lucky last race. MISS TECH (1) remains a maiden but shaped with promise last time when not enjoying the best of luck and looks to be sitting on a workable mark soshe gets the nod in a race lacking depth. MERCI CHERI (2), now partnered for the first time by Pierre-Charles Boudot, commands respect. Stablemate NOTRE ANGLAISE (7), from the Stéphane Wattel yard, could benefit from this drop back in trip. STIR CRAZY (8) is on an upward curve and is an interesting booking with Cristian Demuro taking over.

Summary: BE MY FRIEND (6) shaped well when finishing a solid third over 7f at Saint-Cloud on 28 June and looks sure to prove popular here. A repeat of that effort should see him finish in the first three. TAKAVOR (3) also made an encouraging debut and is respected, while JAMINUS (2) has held his own in two competitive contests of late and has definite claims of making the frame.

- LAVIS – Threatening to win and was runner-up in a handicap at Aix-les-Bains over 2000m on 14 July. Can get into the mix of things once again
- AZIMUTS – Disappointing last run when only 6th in a Conditions race at Lyon-Parilly over 2200m on 6 June. Did better on debut and could bounce back to score
- ARABIAN FEVER – Threatening a first win and was third in a Conditions race at Chateaubriant over 1950m on 21 July. Should fight out the finish
- PEARL SPIRIT – A runner-up in two of her last three starts, including last time out in a handicap at Salon-de-Provence over 2000m on 25 May. Can go one place better
- BRONTE SISTER – Not reliable but was third in a Conditions race at Pompadour over 1600m on 12 July. Needs to do more to beat these rivals
- MIEUX QUE PAPA – Has only been modest of late and was 6th in a Conditions race at Aix-les-Bains over 2000m on 14 July. Needs to find a few lengths to win
Summary: ARABIAN FEVER (5) arrives on the back of two encouraging performances and sets the standard in this maiden. WILLOWER (2) shaped with plenty of promise on his latest start and looks capable of fighting out the finish. The consistent PEARL SPIRIT (6) deserves serious consideration despite returning from a two-month break. The in-form LAVIS (3) is another who has the credentials to play a prominent role.

C6 – PRIX GOUVERNANT – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 11,500 - OVER THE SKY – Showed some improvement when fourth in a claimer at Aix-les-Bains over 1800m on 7 July. Can earn some more money
- CARRE DE SOIE – Has not shown much in two starts and was 13th in a Conditions race last time out at Lion-D’Angers over 2000m on 7 May. Can improve dropped to this level

- ZELZANA – In good shape and was third in a claimer at Salon-de-Provence over 2400m on 17 June. Should be right there at the finish
Summary: AUSTRALIPS (6) looks the one to beat in this claiming contest on the strength of her excellent runner-up effort at Aix-les-Bains on 7 July. JOJO FANTAISIE (3), a dual winner at this level this season, rates the principal danger to the Jérôme Andreu-trained filly. HALSEY (4) and LIGHTIANA (7) both have the ability to play a prominent role and look solid contenders for the minor honours.

- SUCCESS STORY – Holding form and finished fourth in a handicap at Salon-de-Provence over 2400m on 17 June. Can be competitive in this line-up
Summary: JARDIN BLEU (4) has finished in the first four on each of his last five starts and, with proven form over 1m4f, makes plenty of appeal as a solid selection. If able to reproduce his penultimate effort, TENYEARSAFTER (3) should be right in the mix at the business end. HASHTAG JOA (5) is a reliable performer at this level and is expected to give another good account. The ultra-consistent LA ROSE NOIRE (1), who has made the frame in all of her starts, is another with strong place claims.

Summary: ANCTOT (1) arrives in pursuit of a hat-trick after back-to-back victories, the latest achieved with plenty to spare. The seven-year-old looks capable of completing the treble. ALICANTO (4) has the ability to make the podium if on a going day, while the reliable LA HAUTE ISLE (8) boasts solid recent form and has every chance of making her presence felt. MEASTER OWEN (2), a proven performer over 1m4f, is another with strong claims.

- NASSAU LIGNERIES – Third in a Class E at Le Mont St Michel over 2,675m on 16 July. Will race padded this time and could pick up minor honours
- NICE TER MEULEN – Disqualified in a Class D at La Capelle over 2,750m on 7 July, after having run 2nd on debut at Saint-Omer in late-May. Under these conditions, however, will have too much to do
- NARNIA DE L’AVRE – Put a brace of eliminations behind her to run 2nd in an Abbeville Class H 2.5 weeks ago. Has no references on a hard surface and is unlikely to shake things up
- NARITA EXPRESS – Disappointing in 2 since opening her account in March, latterly eliminated in a Laon claimer a month back, and can expect to have few takers
- NAPA VALLEY ZEN – Fourth in a Class F at Le Mans over 2,950m on 13 July. Sports pads for the first time and can play a prominent role if she stays focused
- NAGOYA DE LOU – Is no star but has shown marked improvement over recent months, latterly 4th in a Class F at Vichy over 2,950m on 15 June, and although not a priority should still get in on the action
- NYMPHE DE BAIS – Fifth in a Class F at Lisieux over 2,675m on 2 July 2026. Ran 5th on her sole start at La Capelle and is not incapable of doing so again
- NASHIRA – Showed marked improvement at Abbeville on just 2nd start back, running 2nd in a Class H 2.5 weeks ago, however a repeat seems most improbable
- NECTARINE PIERJI – Fourth in a monte Class F at Laon over 2,850m on 19 July 2026. Has pleased just once under harness and is not a concern
- NATURA – Made short work of a Class G at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,650m on 15 July. Steps up in category and is easy to like for a repeat
- NINA PICARDE – Disqualified in a Class F at Montier En Der over 2,300m on 5 July, a fortnight after imposing on debut at Le Touquet. Is new to racing left-handed but will be no easy touch if she turns
- NIGHT DU SAPTEL – Took little time opening her account, most recently securing a Class G at St Aubin Les Elbeuf over 2,750m on 7 June, and will have a lot to offer if she takes to the new conditions
Summary: NATURA (10) made a highly-impressive winning debut and looks capable of following up. NIGHT DU SAPTEL (12) showed plenty of determination when scoring at Elbeuf in the beginning of June. Now in the care of Pierre-Yves Verva, she will be out to make a victorious start for her new handler. NINA PICARDE (11) made a pleasing impression when successful on debut, and her latest disappointment is best overlooked. Eye-catching at Le Mans, NAPA VALLEY ZEN (5) sports pads for the first time and also has claims.

- NIMBUS DU NORD – Runner-up on debut in a Class F at Laon over 2,225m on 17 May 2026. Will only have improved for the race and should prove competitive at the business end of affairs
- NICE TO GIS – Has done nothing but improve since his May debut, most recently 2nd in an Abbeville Class H 2.5 weeks ago. Finds himself in more exalted company here and chances appear limited
- NEXT LOVE – Runner-up in a Class E over 2,700m here on 19 June 2026. Will have come on for the race and can impose this time
- NAJA LA FRIPOUILLE – Third in a Class F at Amiens over 2,400m on 27 June. Has no left-handed references but in current condition is easy to like for minor honours
- NAVAJO DE NIEL – Good, consistent colt that always gives his best, most recently 2nd in an Abbeville Class H 2.5 weeks ago. Takes on a better bunch this time but still has every chance of contesting a place in the frame
- NOSTRA STAR – Showed early promise but has yet to come good, latterly fifth in a Class E at Vittel over 2,700m on 12 July, and others easier to back
- NAKANO BELLO – Imposed at Saint-Omer in mid-May, at the first time of asking, but eliminated in next 3. Has been reconfigured and the change of driver may be just the ticket
- NATIF DU MANOLET – Has yet to lose his maiden status but did run third in a Class F at Chatelaillon over 2,500m on 12 July and will generate some interest
- NAGANO DU CAMPDOS – Runner-up in first 2 before finishing 8th in a 2700m Class E here on 19 June. In this category though, looks out of his league
- NATO JOSSELYN – Put away after failing to confirm winning debut. Was eliminated on re-entry but will have progressed for the race and with application will be no soft touch
Summary: NEXT LOVE (5) made an encouraging debut here last month; he is open to plenty of improvement and could well lose his maiden tag this time. Well-regarded by connections, NATO JOSSELYN (12) is not the easiest to handle, but should represent the main threat if applied. Reconfigured and driven by Francois Lagadeuc this time, NAKANO BELLO (9) can get back in the game. NAVAJO DE NIEL (7) has never failed to deliver and will benefit from a Gabriele Gelormini drive on this occasion.

- MANTA BUISSONAY – Opened her 2026 account 2.5 weeks ago when dominating a 3150m Abbeville Class H and a similar run would see her double up

- MICKAELLA – Has been a complete write-off this year, latterly 7th in a Laon Class F on 19 July, and will have few, if any, takers
- MAFIA DU BAS BOSQ – Unexceptional trotter that seldom makes any impact and is not about to change her ways

- MISS FINE – Should not be too hastily-condemned for finishing 9th in a Class F at Amiens over 2,400m on 18 July 2026. Is reunited with her driver of choice and will not be far off the mark if he successfully navigates the start
- MERCY STREET – Complicated filly that was unplaced on re-entry 11 days ago in a Laon Class F. Is still being conditioned and others easier to support
Summary: MANTA BUISSONAY (2) scored in good style last time with Pierre-Yves Verva in the sulky. Well drawn behind the car, she can follow up. Consistent MANUREVA NAY (3) showed plenty of determination to get her head in front recently and is also capable of landing the spoils. MIAMI SAUTREUIL (5), who has been showing improvement, is preferred ahead of the less favourably drawn MISS FINE (15) who is worth another chance.

- MIA DU BLEQUIN – Back under the saddle after running 2nd in a harness Class F at Amiens 12 days ago. Is confirmed in the discipline but looks a minor place chance at best
- MY LADY HERMA – Quality but complicated filly that was eliminated in Amiens race of reference 12 days ago. Is no slouch when focused but others still easier to back

- MISS EUROPA – Returns to a discipline for which she has shown a certain aptitude after having been prepped under harness in an Enghien Class D last week. Is confirmed with her jockey and must be taken very seriously
- MUTINE DE L’ITON – Eliminated on monte debut on 12 July before running 4th in a harness Class F at Montignac a week back and, if applied, can make amends and finish in the mix
- MAKINA DANICA – Modest of late, latterly 9th in a harness Class E at Montier En Der over 3,025m on 18 July 2026. Has demonstrated decent monte potential and with application can play a prominent role
- MUNCH CLUB – Sprang something of a surprise when 4th in a harness Class E at Vittel on 14 July, but is new to the discipline and unlikely to confirm
- MARIUS DU CLOS – Outclassed the opposition in a Class F at Montignac-Charente over 2,600m on 16 July. Enjoys a good entry here and in similar shape can repeat
- MAURANE DU CLOS – In good form and finished 3rd in a Class H at Macon-Cluny over 2,700m on 5 July 2026. Is unlikely to get off the mark this time either, but should still be competitive for a place in the frame
Summary: Back at his best, MARIUS DU CLOS (14) has a fine opportunity to confirm his recent success. He will still need to be wary of MISS EUROPA (10) who has shown considerable ridden potential, and the late-developing MIA CARA BOND (2) who ran out an impressive winner on her debut. Second of Thierry Raffegeau’s runners, MAURANE DU CLOS (15) is clearly back on the right road and sports a fresh configuration for the occasion.

- MICHELANGELO ZEN – Sent for a spell after running 3rd here in May. Will be shod this time but with a top pilot in the bike will be no pushover
- MILLESIME DARLING – Lightly-raced individual that got off the mark last month before being eliminated at Segre on 19 July. Should take well to La Capelle conditions and will not be far off the mark if his driver places him early
- MAESTRO DE FERFAY – Pleasantly-surprising 4th in a Laon Class F on 19 July but in this company will struggle to make his mark

Summary: This looks an open affair. MARGOTIN (2) is at the top of his game, is well-placed in front, and benefits from a good entry. He can fight out the finish with the returning MAURICE D’ATOM (4) who imposed here in March. MICHELANGELO ZEN (11) returns to a track he appreciates and, with Paul Ploquin back in the bike, has the ability to finish close. Despite the wide draw, MY HERO (8) also has the wherewithal to make his presence felt.

- LADY D’ELFE – Ran 6th in a Class E at Vittel over 2,700m on 14 July 2026. Reliability not her strong suit but will be reunited with Gabriele Gelormini who ran 3rd with her in June. First 5

- LITTLE STAR JIEL – Disappointing on the whole this year, most recently 8th in a Mauquenchy Class F on 23 July, and the wide draw does her no favours
- LIZA DE LA COUR – Returns to the harness code after a brace of disappointing monte runs, but in this category will struggle to make any impact

- LUTECE – Backs up just a week after being eliminated in a Mauquenchy Class F a week ago. Is never far from losing her action, and has been allocated a tough draw, but is still worth keeping an eye on
Summary: After spending many months out of competition, L’ABEILLE DU DOME (5) has quickly made up for lost time, and from the 5 slot can impose. She must, however, take on the consistent and on-form LUTECE RINGEAT (11), while LILI DE POMMERAYE (3) will be shod as she was at La Rochelle. Unlucky on her latest start, LAMIA DU VIVIER (1) breaks on the rail but still looks a player.

Summary: Preference goes to those drawn on the front row, headed by LE BOSS DE LUBEL (2) who has been campaigned wisely since the start of his career, and LARGO DU PONT (7) who showed plenty of determination when winning over course and distance late last week. LUPIN MELOC (8) has been running consistently well and, even though shod this time, should still finish thereabouts. Barefoot after being conditioned at Amiens, LUCKY BELLAY (4) is easy to like for a place in the picture.

C8 – PRIX BOFFERDING – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class F – Harness – EUR € 27,000 - JIVE BOY – Finished 10th in a Class G Amateurs’ race at Amiens over 2,400m on 18 July and in this company will have nothing to contribute
- JOEYSTAR DE NIRO – Ran 5th here before coming 6th in Amiens race of reference, and is not about to spring any surprises
- IPAD LILA – Unexceptional type that has done nothing noteworthy all season and is unlikely to start now
- IDOLE DE NAVARY – Finished 5th in a Class G Amateurs’ race at Amiens over 2,400m on 18 July, but can expect to find the going a bit tougher this time
- JUNTA DES THIRONS – Was unable to confirm Amiens success when eliminated in an Enghien amateurs Class G last weekend, and is unlikely to spice things up
- INCANTATOR – Ran 2nd in an Enghien amateurs Class F on 25 June but could manage only 7th in a Class F over course and distance 12 days later, and will need to find more
- IDUNN – Unplaced under these conditions early this month before running 6th in an Enghien amateurs Class G last Sunday. Is well in on the front row though and should not be ruled out
- JUST A DOLLAR – Eliminated in last 2, latterly a Class E over course and distance 10 days ago. Has bags of ability though and can get in on the action if he keeps his mind on the game
- IVON DE LA MONERIE – Takes a dip in category after running fifth in a Class D at Enghien over 2,150m on 18 July. Has placed just once in 6 starts here but in current form is hard to ignore
- JACADI BROUETS – Fifth in a Class F at Laon over 2,650m on 19 July. Will be barefoot this time and, if focused, will not be far off the mark
- ISSI TOP – Finished 2nd in a Class F at Laon over 2,650m on 19 July and despite the 2nd row start still looks a decent place chance
- ILUCE DE BEAUCAMPS – Not disgraced when third in a Class E over 2,700m here on 24 July. Is never far from faulting but, if applied, can play a leading role
- IN LOVE D’ECAJEUL – Comfortable winner of a Class F at Graignes over 2,700m on 4 July. Is nicely-engaged, won over course and distance earlier in the year, and on good behaviour can wrap this up
Summary: On paper, those on the second row appear to hold the upper hand, headed by the capricious IN LOVE D’ECAJEUL (13) who showcased his class at Graignes last time; he will, however, need to keep his action together. IVON DE LA MONNERIE (9) has held his own in superior company and looks a solid podium contender, as does ISSI TOP (11) who got back in the game at Laon recently. Tough and genuine, ILUCE DE BEAUCAMPS (12) has been reconfigured and, with application, is unlikely to go down without a fight.

Summary: JOKER DE MARZY (4) has already caught the eye over this track and, in a race that looks wide open, gets the tentative vote to come out on top. JOKER GES (3) is particularly interesting reverting to a barefoot setup not seen for two years and could be primed for a big run. The class acts IALKO JENILAT (8) and HOUSTON TUILERIE (10) both start from the second row but have the quality to overcome that disadvantage if things fall their way.

Summary: UGEMENT D’AVE (10) is an intriguing contender, presented barefoot for the first time at the age of seven and now in the hands of Anthony Barrier, which could unlock significant improvement. Well placed on the front line, JAVA DE BOITRON (11) has solid claims given her strong partnership with Mathieu Mottier and looks a major player. ILOULOU JASMA (3), in excellent current form, and recent winner JUPITER FRANCE (9) both bring momentum into the race and should be in the thick of things

Summary: IGOR DU PARC (11) looks to be coming to the boil at just the right time and is handed an excellent opportunity to get his head in front. JUPITER DU CORTA (10), absent since the end of the winter meeting, is reported ready to go and could make an immediate impact if fully tuned—one to note closely. The ultra-consistent JESTA BUISSONAY (9) brings solid credentials to the table and should once again be in the mix, while IXOR DE L’ITON (3) also has the profile to play a leading role and looks a contender as well.

That said, L’ART DU SOLLIER (12) has been primed for this target and commands major respect. LILY BAM (13), in sparkling form, looks a leading player once again.

Summary: KRYSTA DE KERYANN (16) faces a modest assignment and looks to have a golden opportunity to finally get her head in front after a string of near-misses in recent weeks. The main danger could come from the Johann Berthelot-trained duo KALYPSO D’URSIN (10) and KEVINA DE VITRAY (5), both partnered by experienced drivers and capable of mounting a serious challenge. KENJY LUCAXELO (7) has the ability to feature prominently if he keeps his manners in check.

MORICCONE DAIRPET (5), who deserves another chance has to be considered a possible winner as well.
