French Selections Sunday 1st

R1 LAVAL [L-H]

C1 – PRIX PARIS-TURF – 2850m (a2m) – – Harness – EUR € 18,000

1. MISUA BARTH – Finished 6th in a Class F at Angers over 3,125m on 18 October. Can trot but at this level has nothing to contribute
2. MANON PIERJI – Finished 8th, on comeback, in a Class E at Vincennes over 2,100m on 6 October. Has been out of sorts for a number of months and will first need to reaffirm
3. MASSA DAIRPET – Fifth in a Class F at Morlaix over 2,600m on 27 September. Is seldom far from faulting but will be reined by the champion driver this time and will be no easy touch
4. MAEVA – Finished 5th in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,775m on 19 October. Will be competitively-shod this time and can finish in the mix
5. MALOU DE LA ROUVRE – Disqualified in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 14 October, 9 days after having won a Caen Class F, but others still easier to trust
6. MOIETOI DE HOUELLE – Disqualified in a Class E at Maure De Bretagne over 2,850m on 18 October. Has been reconfigured but would have better prospects a level down
7. MATCHLESS SPEED – Finished 3rd in a Class E at Nantes over 2,275m on 25 October. Has been knocking at the door lately and, with application, can wrap this up
8. MARBELLA TEJY – Third in a Class F at Reims over 2,550m on 10 October. Is plainly in form but faces a much bigger challenge this time around
9. MISS LUDOISE – Disqualified in a Class F at Durtal over 2,825m on 11 October. Has done nothing of note for some time and is unlikely to create an upset
10. MAYA DE CAHOT – Starts for the first time since winning a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,775m on 2 June, but stays shod and best to hold off
11. MAYA DE SEVRE – Finished 5th in a Class E over course and distance on 24 September. Consistently gives everything she has and, while not a priority, is still worth retaining
12. MARTALINE THE BEST – Finished 5th in a Class F at Durtal over 2,825m on 11 October. Has been entrusted to Paul Ploquin this time, will be re-shod for the occasion, and is unlikely to let the side down
13. MARIANE SNOB – Victorious in a Class F at Pontchateau over 2,800m on 10 October. Will be shod as she was when successful under these conditions in June, and must be taken seriously
14. MARIA JELOCA – Ran 6th in a Class E Apprentices’ race at Amiens over 2,900m on 19 September. Is nicely-entered here and can figure prominently if she turns
15. MILA CAAL – Finished 6th in a Class E at Nantes over 2,275m on 25 October. Has 2 races under her belt and with Benjamin Rochard back in the bike, can give MATCHLESS SPEED (7) a run for her money
    Summary: An open race to kick off the meeting. Preference is for MATCHLESS SPEED (7), who looks close to a win, as her latest performance at Nantes suggests, MILA CAAL (15), whose connections could hardly have wished for a better engagement, and MASSA DAIRPET (3), who is reunited with Eric Raffin who won with her in July. MARTALINE THE BEST (12) is well-engaged and sports a fresh profile.

    C2 – PRIX PRESIDENT PROFESSIONNEL – 2850m (a2m) – – Harness – EUR € 30,000
16. NELSON SWIFT – Third in a Class D over course and distance on 30 September. Faces a much stiffer test this time and chances appear limited
17. NICKNAME BOND – Has not been seen out since winning a Class D at Saint Malo over 2,950m on 5 August. Is competitively-shod though and will have his supporters
18. NORTH RIM – Runner-up in all five starts to date, most recently a Class C at Caen over 2,450m on 10 October. Is new to racing left-handed but will not be far off the mark if he turns
19. NORTON ELCE – Disqualified in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,850m on 20 October. Reverts to racing shod and has a reasonable chance of picking up a first-five payout
20. NEPTUNE DE BLARY – Starts for the first time since running fourth in a Class C at Enghien over 2,875m on 2 August. Estelle Croisic at the helm here and best to hold off
21. NIKALY D’EOLE – Successful in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,200m on 29 September. Reverts to racing shod though and is not a concern this time
22. NUMBER WAY – Dominated a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 12 October. Takes on a good lot here but breaks in front and, with application, can make a big splash
23. NICKNAME – Has been disqualified in 3 consecutive starts, the latest a Class B at Enghien over 2,875m on 8 August. Comes here fresh, starts on front row, and on good behaviour can play a prominent role
24. NEEL AR MOR – Disqualified in three of last four starts, the latest a Class B at Craon over 2,750m on 28 September. Is no slouch when focused though, and has been re-shod, but others still easier to back
25. NELSON DE BANVILLE – Disqualified in a Class A at Vincennes over 2,700m on 13 October. Is preparing for a monté campaign though and can be passed over
26. NO LIMIT DELO – Finished 4th in a Class B at Reims over 2,550m on 14 October. Will not be available at 151-1 this time but is unlikely to be as performant either
27. NOVATO BELLO – Makes first appearance since winning a Class B at Caen over 2,200m on 9 May. Clearly has a bright future but is going to need the run
28. NINJA DU PLESSIS – Unplaced in a Class A at Vincennes over 2,700m on 24 August. Has not been seen out since, and incurs the penalty, but still cannot be discounted
29. NIKO DE TIMBOEUF – Runner-up in a Class B at Lyon-Parilly over 2,825m on 13 October. Went close on sole Laval start and in current condition is unlikely to return home empty-handed
30. NEPAL MISA – Successful in a monte Class A at Vincennes over 2,700m on 20 September and will have other priorities
31. NEMROD BUROIS – Finished 8th in a Group III at Vincennes over 2,700m on 27 September. Is clearly in conditioning-mode this time though and is not a player
32. NICE SPEED – Impressive since returning to competition in August, most recently 3rd in a 2775m Class B at Les Sables-d’Olonne a fortnight ago. Is on the back line but still has a realistic chance of imposing
33. NOB HILL – Fifth in Group I Criterium des 3 Ans at Vincennes over 2,700m on 12 September. Returns to racing shod but should still be more than capable of contesting the finish
    Summary: NICE SPEED (17), and NOB HILL (18), back to racing shod, are by far the most accomplished and look capable of conceding distance to the spirited NUMBER WAY (7) and NICKNAME (8). NORTH RIM (3) may lack experience against opposition of this calibre, but has been hard to fault since the start of his career.

    C3 – PRIX MOET & CHANDON – 2850m (a2m) – – Harness – EUR € 18,000
34. MAGICIEN DU SABLE – Disqualified in a Class F at Meslay-du-Maine over 2,875m on 25 October. Is a useful element in this category though and can challenge for the win
35. MILZANO DU BOSSU – Runner-up in a Class F at Le Mans over 2,950m on 17 October. Has been re-shod for his return to the venue but is clearly out of his depth
36. MELEUC DU DOUAROU – Disqualified in a Class D at Caen over 2,450m on 18 October. Has been out of sorts for a number of months and will first need to reassure
37. MIRACLE D’ALEXIANE – Finished 7th in a Class F at Durtal over 2,825m on 11 October. Is some way off his best form and can be ruled out
38. MILAN SAN REMO – Won a Class F at Le Mans over 2,950m on 17 October, complementing his Cordemais victory. Is unlikely to pull off the three-timer but should nevertheless hold his own
39. MARIO BELLO – Ran 6th in a Class E under these conditions on 24 September. Has been fitted with a new shoeing profile and will not be far off the mark if Antoine Wiels assures his charge’s initial strides
40. MIKADO – Fourth in a Class E at Nantes over 2,275m on 25 October. Sports the same shoeing profile and Damien Bonne gets the nod this time. Place chance
41. MUSTANG D’ERI – Ran 6th in a Class E at Maure De Bretagne over 2,850m on 18 October but will struggle to confirm
42. MOMO DES CARREAUX – Fifth in a Class E at Maure De Bretagne over 2,850m on 18 October, however a repeat seems most improbable
43. MYTHIQUE RENKA – Ran 7th in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 22 October. Has not made the frame since June and is unlikely to spice things up
44. MIMI DE VAL – Disqualified in a 2600m Blain-Bouvron-Le Gâvre Class F on 20 September, but has won 2 of last 4 and must be taken seriously
45. MANDARINO FLEURY – Disqualified in last two starts, the latest a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 22 October. Is not devoid of ability but others still easier to trust
46. MIL’S DE BAILLE – Finished 3rd in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 14 October. Has been knocking at the door lately and deserves to be rewarded with victory one of these days
    Summary: Ideally entered at the limit of earnings, MIL’S DE BAILLE (13) is patently close to his race. MAGICIEN DU SABLE (1) would have finished close at Meslay-du-Maine but for a mistake in the final turn. MIKADO (7) gave a good account at Nantes and looks more competitive this time. MIMI DE VAL (11) is in his category and, with Eric Raffin reining, can put on a good show.

47. JERICHO DU RIB – Unplaced in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 21 August. Has not been seen out since and can be passed over
48. JIBI DU FRUITIER – Finished 8th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 23 October. Tends to go well at Laval though and Mathieu Mottier will be quietly confident
49. JERZINHO SPORT – Unplaced in a 2725m Graignes Class C 3 weeks ago. Appears to have come off the boil and others easier to support
50. LAROZE DU GERS – Made it 2 in a row when dominating a Group III at Vincennes over 2,700m on 23 October. Has no 4 year-olds to contend with this time and looks a serious proposition
51. FAR WEST BI – Disqualified in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3 on 22 September. Should take well to the new conditions and in the hands of Eric Raffin is easy to like for the win
52. LEMON TREE – Pleasantly surprising third in a Class B at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,750m on 19 October. Appears to be back on track, Alexandre Abrivard stays faithful, and can pick up a first-five payout
53. JANKO HAUFOR – Unplaced on re-entry in a Class C at Graignes over 2,725m on 12 October. Will have come on for the run, is shod to preference this time, is nicely-engaged, and can make a good go of this
54. JASMINE DE VAU – Unplaced, on comeback, in a Class C at Caen over 2,200m on 18 October and is going to need another race
55. INDY DARK – Unplaced in a Class B at Vincennes over 2,850m on 12 September. Form has done nothing but regress lately and will need to raise his game
56. ILLUSION JIPAD – Disqualified in a Class B at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2,925m on 8 March. Has not raced since and will not be springing any surprises
57. L’ECRIN D’OR – Has not been seen out since coming 3rd in monte Group I Prix Henri Desmontils at Vincennes over 2,850m on 28 February and will have other plans
58. IBIZA BELLA – Disqualified in a Group III at Feurs over 2,850m on 16 September. Has otherwise been in excellent shape, has never failed to deliver here, but will race shod
59. IDYLLE EXPRESS – Makes first appearance since finishing 6th in a Class A at Vincennes over 2,850m on 13 May. Has bags of ability but stays shod and others preferred
60. INSHORE – Unplaced in a Group III at Vincennes over 2,850m on 9 October. Is arguably the least performant horse here and can be ignored
61. ISOFOU DU CHENE – Makes first appearance since running third in a Class A at Vincennes over 2,850m on 21 June. Stays shod for the occasion but, considering his quality, can play a small part
62. J’AIME LE FOOT – Makes first appearance since finishing 10th in a Group III at Vincennes over 2,850m on 2 May and can be confidently ruled out
63. KANTO AVIS – Won a Class A at Toulouse over 2,950m on 11 October. Has nothing to prove at this level and even from the back line can play an important role
64. KING OPERA – Third in a Class B at Craon over 3,500m on 28 September. Seldom disappoints when focused and can figure prominently at the business end of the race
    Summary: The answer should not be too difficult to find in a race where more than a third of the runners have little genuine ambition. On the front line, the reconfigured FAR WEST BI (5) will have a better shot over this flatter track and the engagement of Eric Raffin will only work to his advantage. LAROZE DU GERS (4) is at the top of her game though and looks dangerous. From the second line, the two highest earners deserve confidence: KING OPERA (18), runner-up in this race last year, and the consistent KANTO AVIS (17) who imposed over course and distance in June. LEMON TREE (6) reassured a fortnight back and, from the front line, looks next best.

65. KOQUIN D’AMOUR – Ran 6th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 13 October. Has failed to impress over recent months and is unlikely to shake things up
66. JERRY DE L’ERDRE – Third in a Class D at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,775m on 19 October, 3 weeks after having won on turf, but still appears to be taking on too much
67. KOQUIN DU PERCHE – Finished 7th in a monte Class F Apprentices’ race at Alencon over 2,650m on 18 October and will have nothing to offer
68. JOUR ET NUIT – Finished 4th in a Class F at Saint Malo over 2,950m on 27 September. Is not the most dependable of horses but is still not out of the equation
69. KAZAN BEACH – Finished 3rd in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 13 October. Sports pads as he did when victorious here last year and should be taken seriously
70. KISS ME – Third in a Class E at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 2,650m on 18 October. Put in the fastest split time that day and, 2nd on his Laval debut last month, can again contest the finish
71. KOH LANTA – Made up for Chateauroux disqualification when runner-up in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 1 October. Has been in cracking form since returning to competition and can win this if Benjamin Rochard keeps her trotting
72. JELENIA BELLA – Finished 3rd in a Class F Apprentices’ race at Maure De Bretagne over 2,850m on 18 October. Is patently close to her race and can again finish close
73. KASSIOPEE DREAM – Disqualified when prepping for this in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 28 September. Is confirmed at a superior level and on good behaviour will be no soft touch
74. KINDY DU VIVIER – Finished 4th in a Class D at Graignes over 2,725m on 12 October. Benefits from a good entry and, in similar shape, can repeat
75. KATIM DU GOUTIER – Disqualified, on comeback, in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,775m on 19 October and is still being conditioned
    Summary: An open race this, with plenty of possibilities. A model of consistency, KOH LANTA (7) has a strong theoretical chance, but faces stiff opposition from KISS ME (6), who caught the eye at Bordeaux, and JELENIA BELLA (8), who has been knocking at the door. Racing barefoot following her Enghien freshener, KASSIOPEE DREAM (9) could prove something of a spoiler.

76. MISTER JUPITER – Debuts in the discipline after being trounced in a Vincennes harness Class D mid-month and can expect to have few friends
77. LASKA DU LEVANT – Fifth in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 9 October. Will be fully-fit by now and looks a major player
78. JINGLE DELO – Disqualified in a harness Class C at Caen over 2,200m on 18 October. Has shown a liking for Laval conditions and enjoys a decent chance of making first five
79. IDEAL DU NOYER – Second in a Class C Apprentices’ race at Enghien over 2,875m on 25 October. Is clearly close to his race but, in this company, looks more a minor place prospect
80. LAMBADA DU GOUTIER – Finished 6th in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 9 October, just over a fortnight after having won an Argentan Class A and, with application, can apply the pressure on LASKO DES BROUSSES (10)
81. HANDSOME BOY – Fifth in a Class C Apprentices’ race at Enghien over 2,875m on 25 October. Is confirmed under these conditions, but is still not an obvious choice
82. ICARE WILLIAMS – Disqualified in a Class B at Caen over 2,450m on 18 October. Is more than useful when focused though and can challenge for a place in the picture
83. HAIDA SAUTONNE – Surprise third in a Class C Apprentices’ race at Enghien over 2,875m on 5 October, however a repeat seems unlikely
84. HIS DREAM DE CAHOT – Runner-up in 4 of last 5 starts, lastly a Class B at Caen over 2,450m on 18 October. Takes on a good lot here, but should nevertheless hold his own
85. LASKO DES BROUSSES – Disqualified in a Class B at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,750m on 19 October. Has otherwise been superb for past 4 months and will be well-backed to win this
    Summary: The five year-olds look the best prospects here. If he manages to stay trotting, the reconfigured LASKO DES BROUSSES (10) has more than enough ability to win this. LAMBADA DU GOUTIER (5) sports 4 pads this time and is reunited with Paul Ploquin with whom she has a good record. LASKA DU LEVANT (2) has two runs under her belt and the drop in class will only work to her advantage. ICARE WILLIAMS (7) is useful when focused and must be afforded respect.

86. LILYROSE WIND – Finished surprise 4th in a Class E at Enghien over 2,150m on 17 October. Trainer back in the bike and a repeat seems unlikely
87. LET’S GO VAL – Won a Class E at Vincennes over 2,700m on 6 October, putting 4 straight eliminations behind him. Would be preferred barefoot but is still easy to like for a place in the frame
88. LOUBIANA DU BOURG – Failed to confirm Vincennes performance when 8th in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 3 October and can be ignored
89. LE DUC DE SEVRES – Finished 11th, on comeback, in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,775m on 19 October. Would be preferred competitively-shod but starts in front here and will have his supporters
90. LORA SCOTIA – Finished 8th in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,775m on 19 October. Can spring the occasional surprise but it won’t be in this company
91. LOVINA PERRINE – Finished 3rd in a Class D at Meslay-du-Maine over 2,875m on 15 August. Has not been seen out since and is going to need the race
92. LITCHI CASTELETS – Won a Class E at Angouleme over 2,750m on 4 October. Benefits from a good entry on the front line and has a realistic chance of bringing the fight to LAST MAN (17)
93. LASCAUX DEL PHEDO – Fourth in a monte Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 6 October. Is here for a change of scenery and has nothing to offer
94. LUXOR DE MARZY – Makes first appearance since winning a Class D at Meslay-du-Maine over 2,875m on 15 August. Shoes fitted for re-entry and has nothing to contribute
95. LAPS GEDE – Finished 3rd in a Class E at Chatelaillon over 2,625m on 25 October. Is unlikely to repeat but is clearly back in shape and can get in on the action
96. LE METEQUE – Disqualified in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on Thursday. Backs up shod and is not a priority
97. LOTI SOLO – Starts for the first time since finishing unplaced in a monte Class B at Vincennes over 2,850m on 9 June. Has nothing to offer in this discipline and can be ruled out
98. LYRIC – Finished 9th in a Class D at Chatelaillon over 2,625m on 25 October. Is being prepared for a monte campaign and can be ignored
99. LORD TURGOT – Finished 7th in a Class B at Enghien over 2,875m on 28 September. Is in race-mode this time and looks competitive for a spot in first five
100. LOLO DU VELO – Unplaced in a monte Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 13 October. Runs here for reasons of conditioning and can be disregarded
101. LINNA DE VANDEL – Made it two in a row when winning a Class C at Vincennes over 2,100m on 23 October. Has turned a corner over recent months and Alexandre Abrivard can be justifiably confident of another big performance
102. LAST MAN – Finished 10th in a Class B conditioner at Chartres over 2,800m on 15 October, when giving away 50m. Will have progressed for the run, is 25m better off this time, and can finally open his 2026 account
103. LOTUS GRIFF – Ran 6th in a monte Group II at Vincennes over 2,850m on 12 September. Seldom disappoints under harness when focused and, given the entry, must not be overlooked
     Summary: Specifically prepared for this, LAST MAN (17) will be sporting pads and expected to play a leading role. LITCHI CASTELETS (7) could make the most of his position on the front line and go a long way. LINNA DE VANDEL (16) comes here on a hat-trick and will have a reasonable chance of pulling it off. LET’S GO VAL (2) will not be barefoot as he was in Paris but is clearly in form and, with application, can finish close. LORD TURGOT (14) has already won here and will be competitively-shod this time.

104. MISS DE LA FERME – Disqualified in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 25 September, after having reassured 3 weeks earlier, but others still preferred
105. MISS BLACK BERRY – Disqualified, on comeback, in a Class B at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,750m on 19 October. Is still being conditioned and best to hold off
106. MIYA DE JOUDES – Useful individual making first start since last March, when disqualified in a Vincennes Class D. Is shod for re-entry, has no left-handed references, and can be passed over
107. MEGA D’UZE – Unplaced, on comeback, in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 13 October. Is a serious future prospect, starting in front, and can win this
108. MARSHAL DE CELLAND – Has not been seen out since being disqualified in a Class C at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,775m on 27 June. Goes first-time barefoot though and will be worth monitoring
109. MARVA CALENDES – Won a Class B over track and trip on 30 September. Will be similarly-configured and can join her stablemate in the first five
110. MICHIGAN BLUE – Like a horse reborn since June, most recently victorious in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 15 September, but runs with shoes this time and is not a concern
111. MISTRAL EXPRESS – Made it five on the trot when authoritatively winning a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 13 October and can pull off the six-timer if he takes to the Laval profile
112. MISTER LOVE JULMA – Fourth in a Class B over course and distance on 30 September, after having won 2 of previous 3. Is one of the most generous horses here and will be expected to contest the finish
113. MELIA BARBES – Finished 13th, on return from a layoff, in a Class B under these conditions on 30 September. Will be shod again but, given her class, should not be overlooked
114. MOSTRA DE CHANLECY – Won a Class B under these conditions on 30 September. Has won two of three starts here and is unlikely to let the side down
115. MORPHEUS DU LOISIR – Serious colt making 2026 bow after a lengthy-layoff. Is proven here but will still need the run
116. MILADY DE LA PIECE – Made it two straight when winning a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 2 October. Will be fitted with shoes this time but still looks competitive for a cheque
117. MADAME CHENU – Unplaced in a Class B at Chartres over 2,800m on 15 October. Is preparing for a winter under the saddle and can be passed over
118. MILORD DE BUY – Finished 16th in a Class B over course and distance on 30 September. Is still in conditioning-mode and will have other goals
119. MIRA DE FROULAY – Ran 6th in a Class B at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,750m on 19 October. Goes shod this time and is not a contender
120. MARINELLA VRIE – Starts for the first time since being disqualified in a Group II at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 August. Races shod and the extra 50m to travel will do her no favours
121. MELLOW SPEED – Disqualified in Group I Criterium des 4 Ans at Vincennes over 2,850m on 12 September. Shoes back on, starts on back row, and best to keep one’s powder dry
     Summary: MISTRAL EXPRESS (8) continues to raise the bar and can extend his winning sequence to six. To do so, he will have to give 25m to a reconfigured MEGA D’UZE (4) who will be reunited with Eric Raffin. MISTER LOVE JULMA (9) and MOSTRA DE CHANLECY (11) are both in excellent form and should not be underestimated. MARVA CALENDES (6) beat those two here a month back but incurs the handicap this time.

123. KOUREION D’ELA – Encouraged at Cholet before finishing 7th in a Class G Amateurs’ race at Saint Malo over 2,950m on 27 September. Is not a priority, but can still get a look in
124. JUNINHO – Successful in a Class G Amateurs’ race at Challans over 2,900m on 11 October. Takes on a better bunch here but consistently gives his best and should not be written off
125. KALIE DREAM – Unplaced in a Class F at Saumur over 3,275m on 18 October. Has yet to deliver at this level and is unlikely to start now
126. JOS DU JAL – Disqualified in a Class G at Laon over 2,850m on 11 October. Seldom makes his presence felt and can expect to have few friends
127. ICK DU VIVIER – Disqualified in last 2 starts, the latest a Class G at Laon over 2,850m on 11 October. Has form in this category though and will not be far from the action if he deigns to stay trotting
128. JOYAU DU VIVIER – Sprang something over a surprise when fourth in a 2850m Class G at Laon 3 weeks ago. Placed on sole amateur start and, although not a contender, is still worth keeping an eye on
129. HADOL DE FAEL – Unplaced in a Class G Amateurs’ race at Saint Malo over 2,950m on 27 September. Is nicely in on the front line but still has no possible chance
130. HILKA DE BERTRANGE – Second in a Class G Amateurs’ race at Chatelaillon over 2,625m on 25 October. Goes barefoot again and will be no pushover
131. GUTENBERG DE DYPP – Fifth in a Class G Amateurs’ race over course and distance on 3 October. Is clearly on the right road, but is still not an obvious choice
132. JIM DU PALAIS – Runner-up in a Claimer at Enghien over 2,150m on 15 October. Is clearly in form and, although short on amateur experience, still looks competitive for a place on the podium
133. IMANOLO DE LOU – Finished 6th in a 2450m Jarnac Class F late last month. Has done nothing of note for some time and can be passed over
134. ILDA DE BERTRANGE – Disqualified in a Claimer at Grenade-Sur-Garonne over 2,750m on 24 October. Has not made the frame since this time last year and can be ruled out
135. JOYAU DU GRESSY – Finished 6th in a Class H Apprentices’ race at Blain over 3,200m on 21 September. Has form at this level and, despite the penalty, still looks competitively well in
136. JOYCE DREAM – Unplaced in a Class F at Graignes over 2,700m on 17 October, a fortnight after running 2nd under these conditions, and could well have her day in the sun this time
137. IMAGINE GIRL – Ran 7th in a Class E at Alencon over 2,650m on 4 October. Sports 4 pads for the first time, benefits from a good draw, and looks a serious proposition
     Summary: The answer looks likely to come from the second line in this amateur drivers’ race, with JOYCE DREAM (15), judged on her penultimate start, a padded IMAGINE GIRL (16), who is competitive at this level, and JIM DU PALAIS (11), who has little room for improvement but who could make the podium with the right run, the most obvious choices. From the front line, ICK DU VIVIER (6) could spring a surprise. JOYAU DU GRESSY (14) is back on the right road and should have a good hand to play.

1. MESSUA DE LABRUNIE – Threatening to win and was runner-up at Segre over 3,800m on 5 October in a Class 3 Conditions Chase. Consistent and can win again
2. SERIAL WINNER – Came home 6th at Auteuil over 3,600m on 6 October over hurdles in a Handicap Hurdle. Tries fences for the first time and dropping in class could bring out more progress
3. STARBOSS – Failed to complete last time over 3800m when he fell at this track in a Class 4 hurdle on October 11. He is capable if in the mood back over fences
4. SANTORINI – Came home 9th at Fontainebleau over 3,550m on 12 October over hurdles in a Handicap Hurdle. She can bounce back to form on her return to fences
5. MIGHTYWOOD – Ran 6th at Nancy over 3,800m on 11 October over hurdles in a Class 4 Condition Hurdle and she fell before that over fences in September. Hard to recommend
   Summary: MESSUA DE LABRUNIE (1) has been in terrific form this year, with two wins, over hurdles and fences in August in Class 4 events. She arrives after a second at Segre in a Class 3 chase early last month and is preferred over SANTORINI (4), who won over hurdles in April and was then fourth in a handicap chase in May. She has been a tad low key recently over hurdles but is capable of a return to form. SERIAL WINNER (2) tries fences for the first time and drops in class and has the scope to do well in this discipline.

7. VLATY’LEZ – Unplaced at Le Mans over 1,950m on 5 October in a Maiden on his sole start. He will need to improve vastly to be involved
8. BLUE STONE – Finished 6th at Nancy over 2,000m on 27 September in a Maiden on her only run. Unlikely to be a threat
9. SHALOM – Came home 5th at Lyon-Parilly over 1,600m on 2 September in a Handicap and a win before that at Deauville in August. Player
10. TOMIKOVA – Finished 7th on her sole start over 1200m at Prague (CZE) in a conditions race on June 21. She will need to improve to make the frame
11. INDIAN BELLE – Showed promise and was third at Le Mans over 1,950m on 5 October in a Maiden on her second start. One to pay close attention to
12. LUCKY ANGEL – Finished 7th at Koln (DEU) over 1600m in a conditions race on October 11 on her only run. She can improve and has place claims
13. MONDELLO – Colt by Mondaliste, the dam was placed on the flat. He is one to consider if the betting vibes are lively on his first day at school
14. DWIGHT – Colt by Marianafoot, the dam was unraced in France. Stable runners are well prepared and he is worthy of a market check for clues
15. ATUROS – Colt by Best Solution, the dam was unraced in France. Stable runners tend to improve for a few runs and he is best watched on his opening run with an eye on the future
16. EMPEREURDAVIGNON – Gelding by Montgolfier, the dam won 9 races on the flat. Does not appeal as a likely first time out scorer and others are preferred
17. OLECOEUR DU MAUPAS – Filly by Keiai Nautique, the dam won 1 race. She will likely need this run and is best watched for the time being unless the betting says otherwise
18. WILD BEAUTY – Filly by Windstoss, the dam was won a Group 3 and was placed in a Group 2 race in Germany. Nice profile and bred to be smart. The betting can guide
    Summary: SHALOM (4) won a claimer two runs back in August at Deauville on the turf and was a creditable fifth on her latest start in a handicap in September at Lyon Parilly. She should have too much in her locker for INDIAN BELLE (6), who showed improvement when third on her second start at Le Mans last month in a maiden event. DWIGHT (9) is an interesting newcomer and is one to watch in the betting for any market interest. RIVERHEIGHT (1) fared well enough in a handicap at Saint-Cloud on his latest start in October and heads the rest.

20. I AM A DOCTOR – Came home 5th at Fontainebleau over 4,400m on 28 October 2025 in a Class 3 Conditions Chase. Absence to deal with but can be involved if fit to go
21. KERMILLIS – Outclassed the opposition at Strasbourg over 3,600m on 4 October over hurdles in a Class 4 Conditions Hurdle. Can follow up back over fences
22. BEAU CHARENTAIS – Not seen since a win at Mont De Marsan over 4,000m on 16 March 2025 in a Class 4 Conditions Chase. Back from a layoff and can be involved with fitness taken on trust
23. IN VICTIS – He was 5th at Lyon-Parilly over 4,100m on 18 October in a Class 4 Chase last time. More needed to be involved
24. VOIXDEGINO – Unplaced at Nimes over 3,900m on 1 November 2024 over hurdles in a Handicap Hurdle. Long absence and is best watched on her return to action
    Summary: KERMILLIS (3) has strong claims after success on her latest start at Strasbourg early last month in a Class 4 conditions hurdle. She reverts to fences and can make her presence felt. Her main rival could be BEAU CHARENTAIS (4), who is unbeaten in his three runs over fences, his latest success in March 2025, which sways the balance in the former’s favour. KWELAFE (1) should have no fitness concern and is also worthy of attention. He looks best of the remainder.

29. MINUTY – Finished 2nd on her last outing at Baden-Baden (DEU) in a conditions race over 2400m on October 18. Solid each-way claims
30. BETISE – Finished 3rd at Baden-Baden (DEU) in a conditions race over 2000m on October 16 when last seen. She can be on the premises
31. AVEC PLAISIR – Unplaced at Vittel over 2,400m on 27 July in a Maiden. She will have to step forward from her debut to make the frame

33. MARANTAO – Came home 4th at Saint-Cloud over 2,400m on 14 October in a Claimer. Capable of a bold show
34. ROTEIRO – Finished 2nd at Most (CZE) on his latest start over 2000m on October 17. French debut and he might find a few of these too smart
35. EMAAR – Unplaced at Nancy over 2,000m on 11 October in a Maiden on his sole start. He will need to improve to be a threat
36. MHAIRI – Filly by Poet’s Word, the dam ran a few times on the flat. From a good stable that can ready a newcomer to strike on debut
    Summary: DJIN’S (8) tries the flat for the first time and this classy operator over jumps is given the nod. He arrives after a second over fences in July and he should be too smart for MARANTAO (9), who has improved, and was a decent fourth on his latest start at Saint-Cloud in a claiming event when last seen in October. MINUTY (5) has been placed in Germany on her last two starts and looks solid each-way. MHAIRI (12) is worth a market check on her first day at school from a respected stable.

40. GUACARI – Below par over 2500m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on October 11 when last seen. He might find a few of these too smart
41. STELLA MARINA – Fair 5th at Lyon Parilly on her latest start in a Class 4 handicap over 3150m on September 26. Ran well over this track in April when second and she can not be overlooked
42. SHACKLETON – Threatening to win and was runner-up at Longchamp over 2,400m on 13 October in a Class 3 Handicap. Holds leading claims
43. KOELLE – Finished 5th on his last outing at this track in a Class 4 handicap on October 11 over 2500m. Ought to be thereabouts

45. DALIAPUR – Finished 6th at Strasbourg over 2,350m on 22 March in a Class 4 Handicap and three unplaced efforts before that. Look elsewhere
46. RUE DE SAVOIE – Fourth at Cavaillon over 2,900m on 11 October in a Class 4 when last racing. She has work ahead to make the frame
47. JUWEL – Won on his latest start over 2400m at Baden-Baden (DEU) in a conditions race on October 18. Faces stronger and can be opposed
48. PEPINA – Unplaced at Vittel over 2,400m on 12 August 2025 in a Class 4 Handicap. Back from a layoff and can be opposed
    Summary: QUARTZDARGENT (3) won nicely over 2500m on his latest visit to this track early last month and will be expected to follow up stepping up in trip today. His main threat could be SHACKLETON (6), who has consistent form with several placed runs recently and is hard to discount. STELLA MARINA (5) is better than her recent form figures and is worth considering each-way. AFTERGLOW (8) fared well at this track when fourth on her latest start in October and warrants respect.

53. HELLO VEGA – Below par when 11th at Fontainebleau over 1,200m on 16 October in a Claimer last time, a win before that over 1400m in a claimer at this track in September. Ought to be in the shake-up

She can be too smart for HELLO VEGA (5), who scored over this track and trip two runs back in a claimer in September and is dangerous to overlook.

    Summary: ZARAKIVA (1) won over this track and trip in April and can bounce back after a couple of recent unplaced runs. Her main threat is ELKABIER (5), who has been second on his last two starts and deserves to get his head back in front. ROUVRAY (9) has been consistent recently and another good effort can be expected. ANGEL DUST (14) is also worthy of consideration each-way after a third at Vichy in late September on her latest start in a Class 4 handicap.

    Summary: SARASTRO (1) has been racing in stronger races on his last two runs when unplaced. Back in calmer waters he can get back on track and is preferred ahead of RUE DE L’ODEON (11), who got the job done at Saint-Cloud on her latest outing in mid-October in a Class 3 handicap and warrants respect.

WITE TOAST (5) has finished in the first three in her last four starts and should once again give her best. ANAGRAMME (7) has a leading role to play judged on her second place at this course.

    Summary: François Rohaut has three runners in the field and will be particularly hopeful of a bold showing from GENEVA (6), who won this Group 1 in impressive fashion last year. However, she will need to be wary of MONEER (4), who has finished in the first four in every start since making his debut. MAQBOOL (5) was in good form over the summer but disappointed at the highest level last time and can bounce back. Well treated at the weights for her return, WALA’A (7) goes well fresh and is another to consider.

EL PROFESSOR CHOP (5) has finished in the first two in each of his last four outings and should again fight hard all the way to the line. GRIS DE PERLES (2) can claim a podium finish, as can OCEAN (3), who should not be dismissed away too readily.

    Summary: NEILA AL MAURY (4) is a quality performer and a very serious contender for victory, despite dropping back in distance. MNEEFA (2) was an impressive winner over this trip in her first start in blinkers and will also be bidding for top honours. ALMAHA (5) could take another step forward wearing cheekpieces. Jean de Mieulle’s second runner, supplementary entry ZANOBIA (7), is improving and should not be underestimated.

    Summary: A convincing winner at Jarnac on 11 October, SECULIER (6) ran well again at Bordeaux last time and gets the vote to score. READY TO GO (1) is partnered by Lara Le Geay for the first time. She has less room for improvement since her victory at Dax but enjoys this course. Supplementary entry ARGYRON (3), like the selection is the oldest runner in the field and should give everything. ALGECIRAS (4) cannot be ruled out if rediscovering his best form.

47. SAAD AL CHAM – Successful on debut in a Conditions race at this course over 2,100m on 16 September. Can get involved with the finish once again
    Summary: After a highly encouraging start to his career in Doha, SPAREO (1) has quickly adapted to racing in France and is a leading contender in this wide-open Group 3. SAAD AL CHAM (5) made a pleasing winning debut and clearly has plenty of ability. WATHAB (2) is also improving and deserves consideration. NADAU DE FAUST (3) battled courageously to win in early September and will once again sport cheekpiecess.

    Summary: HALANDJILA (1) has to concede weight to all her rivals, but she clearly beat four of today’s opponents over this course in mid-September. HYDE POMPADOUR (5), her younger rival and third in that race, does not win often but should again put up a strong performance. IDEAL DE CAJUS (7) was sidelined for almost a year but has now had two runs back. A previous course winner, HORIZON DE TANUES (2) can use his experience to good effect.

    Summary: NACRE DE BUSSET (5) made an encouraging return in the key race at Le Croisé-Laroche on 12 October and looks a reliable proposition at this level. NAIRA D’HUIN (2) has room for progress and has every chance of playing a leading role in this contest. NUTELLA DU CAMPUS (8) is something of an unpredictable performer but has ability. NOT FOR SALE (13) looks close to a winning effort and should feature prominently.

    Summary: MADRELLO (7) returns from a break, but trainer-driver Christophe Martens has given him the green light, suggesting confidence in his chances. A tough and determined performer, he has every chance of winning a race within his reach. MON ROYAUME (14) looks the main danger on the strength of his second-place finish at this track on 30 July. MANHATTAN SYGA (13) is particularly effective racing unshod. MATIN DE MARS (8) is a consistent and reliable performer who enters the equation.

MANTA BUISSONAY (9) should be sharper after a necessary comeback run and benefits from an ideal engagement. MAZA MENCOURT (5), who will race barefoot on all four feet, has strong claims for the places. MIDINETTE DU VAL (8) steps up in class but is on the upgrade and also deserves consideration.

MIAMI SAUTREUIL (9) will also be unshod for the first time in her career and has a good opportunity to open her account. MAHINE D’OCCAGNES (13) makes plenty of appeal on the strength of her current form and an attractive engagement. MAYA VIP (12) bolted up at Laon but faces a tougher assignment stepping up in class.

NYRO D’ERPION (4) caught the eye with a strong finish over this course last time and warrants respect. NO LIMIT JIEL (7) can be inconsistent, but this looks a winnable contest for him if he fares up to his standard.

87. INSIDE – Disqualified last time out at La Capelle over 2,700m on 25 October in a Class D. Not easy to trust and others make much more appeal
    Summary: JUST A DOLLAR (12) has been in consistent form and should once again be in the thick of things, although giving away ground at the start will not be easy, particularly against JUNIOR DU CHERISAY (6), who scored in impressive style at Le Croisé-Laroche. JADORE D’ISQUES (15) arrives in good form and can get involved, provided he gets a clear run. JAGUAR D’ESCRIT (9) is ideally entered on the front row and cannot be dismissed lightly.

JAVA DES TIGARDS (4) is a familiar face in this grade and should be respected. KRAPO LILA (3) could sneak into the frame with a good trip.
