Summary: IGREC DE CELLAND (13) is undefeated at this track and is coming off a GR.3. victory. The one to be with. FLOREAL (15) is a GR.3. winner and is barefoot and capable of returning to form with a win. HUDO DU RUEL (7) is at best going right-handed and can get into the mix of things.

FIFTY (14) remains in top form and will not go down without a serious fight. GOLD DE LA COUDRE (4) showed improvement last time out and could have more to offer.

LOUP INDIEN (2) is undefeated and was impressive last time out so would not be a surprise winner. LOLITA TURGOT (5) returns from a break but won well last time out and can contest the finish.

12. ENTRE AMIS – Battling to regain winning form and was 5th last time out in a Class D Mounted race at Beaumont-de-Lomagne over 2550m on 25 May. Might play a minor role
Summary: ILLENC DES BOSC (10) was a bit of a disappointment last time out when only fifth but was in good form before that and could prove too good for these rivals. HOMMAGE LUDOIS (6) clearly likes to run second and could do so again. IROKO DU LOIR (4) was a barefoot winner last time out and remains unshod and not out of it.

Summary: FANATIC (3) met stronger last time out and now down in class for this assignment, he rates the one they need to beat. He looks to be a horse that could have a fair future. FRANCAISE (6) is third up for the year which should mean that she’ll be at peak fitness for this outing. She brings good form to the table and is capable of winning.

9. ORLOVKA – Dam was unraced and this filly doesn’t make a great deal off appeal on paper. Others preferred
10. READY TO GO – Dam was unraced and this filly could just be green and need the experience. Follow the market
Summary: ALOYSIUS (1) was narrowly denied victory on debut and looks poised to go one better in a shallow race. He comes from a strong yard and should make no mistakes this time out. GAYLE (2) has run a couple of encouraging efforts to date and with weight off the back, she should be able to run a place. BIARN (3) and DIVA BELLA (5) come from the same form line and shouldn’t be too far off the action.

Summary: LAPOINTEDESPIEDS (9) wasn’t seen to best effect last time out and despite not having won a race yet, this looks to be a suitable race for her to shed her maiden tag in. OVER CHOPE (2) ran a solid race last time out and with weight off the back, she should run a big race. GARCILASO (3) is seldom far off the action and comes into this event nicely weighted so could be a factor. MARQUISE VERA (7) produced a better effort last time out and could earn again.

1. MONNA VANNA – Winner over 1600m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a handicap on the 16th of May 2024. Should go close
2. CHATAIGNE – Finished last of eight over 1400m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a Class 2 on the 22nd of February 2024. Would be a surprise winner
3. UNIGENA – Finished 4th over 1600m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a handicap on the 16th of May 2024. Outside place chance
4. DONALYA – Finished 3rd over 1600m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a handicap on the 16th of May 2024. Upset chance
5. COEUR D’ARGENT – Comfortable winner over 1500m at Tarbes in a maiden on the 20th of April 2024. Should have more to offer
6. STAR FROM THE EAST – Finished 7th over 1600m at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 course qualifier on the 12th of May 2024. Capable of getting involved
7. KASPIA TRIP – Finished 3rd over 2000m in a claimer at Parislongchamp on the 6th of June 2024. Can earn a minor spot
8. VITESSE – Finished 3rd over 1300m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 course qualifier on the 10th of May 2024. Include in all bets
9. HOT IN FRONT – Held in 5th over 1900m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a maiden on the 25th of May 2024. One to pass by
10. MERCURIUS – Winner over 1600m at Royan La Palmyre in a Class 3 course qualifier on the 2nd of June 2024. More to do here
Summary: MONNA VANNA (1) arrives in very good form and with the apprentice retained for this assignment, this filly looks to be the one that they all need to beat. VITESSE (8) is in solid form and looks to be a serious contender for top honors. STAR FROM THE EAST (6) is better than her latest effort and can mount a challenge. COEUR D’ARGENT (5) got the job done well and looks to be an improving sort who should be included.

1. VILLAIRES – Two unplaced runs of late, won before that over 1200m at Toulouse in a Class 4 handicap on March 11th. Can not be dismissed
2. MONCAYO – 3rd last time over 1100m at La Teste on May 17th in a Class 4 handicap. Live chance
3. MONSIEUR BEAULIEU – Won two runs ago over 1000m in a Class 3 handicap on September 26th at Vichy. Not seen since a 6th placed effort in November
4. NATURAL PATH – 4th last time in a Class 4 race on June 9th over 1800m. Others more likely
5. RAPIDO PRESTO – Fair 3rd last time over 1500m in a Class 3 handicap at Tarbes on May 11th. One to keep safe
6. VISIR IZNOGUD – Ran 4th at Chantilly last time over 1200m in a Class 3 race on June 2nd. Can be a leading player
7. JASMIN DORE – Unplaced last time, won before that over 1200m in a Class 3 handicap at Fontainebleau on May 3rd. One to consider
8. AZUR AS WELL – 4th last time over 1300m in a Class 4 race at Argentan on June 5th. Might find a few of these too smart
9. BUTI – Four unplaced runs of late, 4th before that over 1100m in a Class 3 handicap at La Teste on July 30th. Needs to get back on track
10. AS A CHARM – Has five unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1200m in a Class 4 handicap on June 7th. Out of form and best avoided
11. BADASS – Four unplaced runs this year, won before that over 1200m at Nimes in a Class 4 race on November 19th. Makes limited appeal
12. FORCE CAT – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1500m in a Class 4 handicap at Tarbes on June 5th. Hard to recommend
13. CAPELENA – Has four recent unplaced runs, 4th before that over 1000m at Angouleme in a Class 3 race on October 29th. Looks vulnerable
Summary: VISIR IZNOGUD (6) could be the answer in this tricky contest. He was a pleasing fourth at Chantilly earlier this month and can score from MONCAYO (2) who faired well last time when third at La Teste in a Class 4 handicap in mid-May. RAPIDO PRESTO (5) could be a nice each-way option and should be value in the betting market. JASMIN DORE (7) scored two starts ago and looks best of the remainder.

2. YES BOY – 4th at La Teste on May 17th on the sole run to date over 1800m. Should improve and be involved in the shake-up
3. SHOOTFORTHESTARS – Two unplaced ruins, the latter over 2150m on the PSF on April 6th. Makes limited appeal
4. GO FLY – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter in a Class 3 race on June 9th. Hard to make a case for him
5. KAMAKURA ONE – 4th last time over 2000m at La Teste on May 17th in a handicap. Others seem better equipped
6. CAMARLEEN – 4th last time over 1900m in a maiden race on May 25th. Might be more suited to a handicap
7. FEDYANE – 5th on the sole run so far at Saint-Cloud on May 20th over 2400m. Will improve and is one to consider
8. LEPSA – 4th last time over 1600m in a handicap at Lyon Parilly on May 18th. Ought to have a presence
9. STARS AND AWAY – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2200m in a maiden on April 17th at Lyon Parilly. Hard to ignore
10. BELGRAVIA – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that on debut in a Class 2 race at Toulouse on September 22nd over 1600m. Can be on the premises
11. WINI STAR – Two unplaced runs, the latter over 2300m at Dax on June 10th. Makes no appeal
12. ROSY LIGHT – Unplaced on the sole start-over 1500m at Tarbes on June 5th. Hard to recommend
13. BATH LAU – Unraced by Battle Of Marengo, will likely improve for this debut run. Monitor the betting for clues
14. NATANSI – Unraced filly by Nathaniel, stable runners tend to need a debut run. Any market support should be noted
Summary: YES BOY (2) caught the eye when he was fourth on his debut run in mid-May. He can step forward from that pleasing run and can score from STARS AND AWAY (9) who has had three runs and looks a stayer. She was slightly below par last time but showed talent on her two starts before that. ROYAD (1) will be sharper for his recent debut run when he was fourth and is one to keep safe. KAMAKURA ONE (5) makes up the shortlist.

2. DARCKNESS AL ASHAI – Unplaced on the sole run over 1600m on May 4th. Should improve but others make more appeal
3. SIDI STAR – Fair 4th at La Teste over 1600m on May 17th on the sole run so far. One to consider
4. KARDOOM – Unraced colt by Majd Al Arab, from a good stable who can ready one to be involved on debut. The betting can be the best guide
5. AJLAAN – Newcomer by Af Albahar, could be the second string of the Rohaut runners and is best watched in the betting for clues
6. LISTO DE FAUST – Unraced colt by No Risk Al Maury, stable runners warrant respect. Any market support should be noted
7. MUKATEL AL SHAHANIA – Newcomer by Gazwan, the dam won one race. Has a taking profile and a bold show can be expected
8. ZALLAL AL SHAHANIA – Nice 2nd on her debut run over 1500m at Tarbes on April 20th. Ought to be thereabouts
9. SONGE AL MAURY – Newcomer by Munjiz, the dam was placed a few times. Should be nicely tuned for her debut. Monitor the betting patterns
10. ARENTEIRO – Unraced colt by Mahabb, should improve for this debut run. Any market support should be noted
11. ITALY – Unraced colt by Al Mourtajez, stable runners usually need a run or two for experience. Watch the betting market
12. LINO – Unraced colt by Af Albahar, should be better for this debut run. The betting can be the best guide
13. MAQBOOL – Newcomer by Af Albahar, should improve for this debut run. Monitor the betting exchanges
14. RIYAH – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1600m at La Teste on May 17th. Looks vulnerable

Summary: This could go to the nicely bred newcomer MUKATEL AL SHAHANIA (7) who looks good on paper and will be expected to give a good account of himself. AL RASHA (15) is also one to consider on her debut. She will be well prepared by her shrewd handler. SONGE AL MAURY (9) is from a stable that can produce debut winners and any market support will be significant. DER’H AL SHAHANIA (1) has the benefit of having had a run and warrants respect.

3. VIATORE – Nice 4th last time over 1600m at Pompadour in a Class 4 race on May 26th. Has not been out of the frame in six runs and can once again have a say
4. MOON DREAM – Three unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 2400m in a Class 3 handicap at Pau on January 10th. Needs to get back to form

8. VERSION COX – Won two runs ago in mid-February over 2400m at Pau in a Class 3 handicap. Needs to be taken seriously

10. FASHION BARNES – 4th two runs back over 2000m in a maiden race at La Teste. Has yet to win in 11 runs
Summary: PIANINO (1) ran a nice race when fourth last time and is given the vote in this ahead of VERSION COX (8) who was a winner two starts ago at Pau in a Class 3 handicap on February 14th. That win was on the PSF, but she can handle the turf. NEW RULER (5) is better than his last two runs and can not be overlooked. POCA GEN (2) faired well when second at Bordeaux Le Bouscat last time and heads the remainder.

1. IRPIEU DE VARVILLE – Surprise winner of a 2850m Class F at Maure-de-Bretagne late-April. Has freshness on his side, is confirmed at Chartres, and must be afforded respect
2. LET IT BE VP – Disappointing since coming to France, latterly last but one in a 2875m Enghien harness Class D last Saturday, and can expect to remain friendless in the markets
3. GENTLEMAN POWER – Lost his action in a 2825m amateurs Class G at Le Croisé-Laroche earlier in the month. Faulted on lone monté outing [08/21] but, with application, should have the wherewithal to get a look-in
4. GALIANO DU BOCAGE – Makes just 2nd appearance under the saddle after trotting 6th of 13 in an 1800m harness Class E at La Capelle on Sunday, but backs up with very modest prospects
5. GIANT STEPS – Takes first competitive steps in the code after faulting in a 2900m Bourigny harness Class F on 2 June. Races shod but still worth keeping an eye on
6. FENIX DU RABUTIN – 10th of 12 in a 2675m harness Class F at Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne last week. Has evident ability but others still easier to back
7. AMORCER LEVALLO – Debuts in France, and in the discipline, after trotting 8th over 2140m at Åby early-May. Gets a leading jockey for the occasion and must not be underestimated. Chance
8. IGOR DU PARC – Fine campaigner that won a Class F over course and distance with ease on 2 June. Takes on a similar bunch this time and looks the pick of the field
9. ITALIA SOLO – Faulted early, finishing last but one in a 2200m Vincennes Class D 12 days ago. Is in form though and can play an active role if Pierre-Yves Verva gets her off on the right foot
10. HEDEN CRUZ – Hard to fault in either code lately, most recently winning a 2875m Lyon-Parilly Class F early last month. Comes here fresh and does not make the long trip for reasons of tourism
Summary: A veritable steamroller when barefoot and focused, IGOR DU PARC (8) won unopposed here earlier this month and returns to the venue with every chance of pulling off the 3-timer. He will face resistance from the well-engaged HEDEN CRUZ (10) who imposed smartly on his return to the discipline early last month, and Swedish import, AMORCER LEVALLO (7), who is barefoot for his monté debut. 3rd at Caen a month ago, ITALIA SOLO (9) should not be too quickly judged for her Vincennes blunder.

1. INSOLITE EFBE – Has merit but below-par recently, latterly sanctioned in a 3150m Rânes Class F early-May. Shoes on again and will pose no danger
2. IDEAL MOSSA – No slouch on a good day but off the boil this term, most recently 8th of 11 in a 2825m Class E at Le Croisé-Laroche on 3 June, and will have little to offer
3. IFF LOUZEEN – In the frame in last 4, latterly 3rd of 6 finishers in a 3000m Nantes Class D on 9 May. Franck Nivard reining this time and the new configuration may be just the ticket to his success
4. IBIZA DE CONNEE – 2nd of 10 in a 2850m monté Class F at Maure-de-Bretagne 2 weeks ago and can finish in the mix if form transitions
5. INDIANO JIM – Won in a lesser category at La Rochelle before coming a disappointing 6th of 8 finishers in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F 10 days ago, and others easier to support
6. ICEMAN DU KLAU – Won well at Amiens before coming 3rd of 11 in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle early-May. Comes here fresh and debuts at Chartres with a good hand to play
7. IRUN DU BOCAGE – Encouraging 4th to IBRA TEJY (13) in a 2825m Sablé-sur-Sarthe Class D 10 days ago. Reverts to a proven configuration and merits respect
8. IL MAGNIFICO – Fine servant that trotted 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class E on 10 June. Debuts at the venue with morale intact and looks the one to beat
9. IF DE LA COUDRE – 11th of 13 finishers in a 2700m Segré Class F last Saturday. Shod as he was when 2nd here last month and, although in better company, is still worth monitoring
10. ISOLEE DU BOUILLON – Impressive at a lower level, in both amateur and professional ranks, before faulting in a 2700m Segré Class F 4 days ago. Unlikely to spring a surprise but sports 4 pads for the first time and, with application, can get a look-in
11. IPSON WIND – Useful servant but has not been seen out since coming 2nd of 12 in a 2375m Castelsarrasin Class F last September and will need the outing
12. IMAYA CHRISTUBERT – 8th of 10 finishers in a 2650m Saint-Omer amateurs Class G on 2 June. Has been a write-off this season and is not about to change her ways
13. IBRA TEJY – Got back to winning ways in a 2825m Class D at Sablé-sur-Sarthe 10 days ago and can again go close, provided he deigns to keep his action together
14. INVICTUS ORADEL – Drops back to a more reasonable level after trotting 5th of 11 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F 10 days ago and, ideally-entered, is unlikely to be far off the mark
Summary: After a couple of much-needed return runs, IL MAGNIFICO (8) showed his form at Caen just 9 days ago and, barefoot for the occasion, looks thoroughly capable of winning this. Yoann Lebourgeois will still be keeping a keen eye on a fully-padded IFF LOUZEEN (3) who is plainly close to his race, and ICEMAN DU KLAU (6) who has turned a corner recently. IBRA TEJY (13) put a trio of sanctions behind him when scoring at Sablé-sur-Sarthe recently and Thomas Chalon will be eager to repeat.

1. IDOLA – Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2850m Vincennes Class C early-March, but is clearly in competition-mode and will be no pushover if Mathieu Mottier keeps her trotting
2. HOLD THE LINE – Has done nothing noteworthy for some time, latterly sanctioned in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F 10 days ago, and can be written off
3. INITIALE HERAULT – Imposed superbly in a 2875m Enghien Class D late-May. Won her only start at the venue and can give the males a run for their money
4. GOSPEL VET – 8th, behind HAZILYS (14), in a 2875m Argentan Class F on 26 May. Has a regressive profile and is not a particularly attractive proposition
5. IF YOU CAN – Has proven a tough nut when racing barefoot, most recently victorious in a 2600m Class F at Le Touquet a month ago and is thoroughly capable of repeating
6. EN CHOEUR FERFAY – Reassuring 4th of 16 in a 2850m Vincennes amateurs Class F a fortnight ago but appears to be biting off more than he can chew this time
7. FLAG DE MARIONS – No slouch when focused but 6th of 8 over 2600m at Wolvega on re-entry and appears to need another run
8. ELZEVIR D’ECOUVES – Sanctioned in a 2800m Pontchâteau monté Class E 2 weeks ago and returns to the harness code with limited aspiration
9. INDOCILE – Tricky character but has form at a superior level. Unluckily sanctioned when full of running in a 2850m Laval Class C last week and can make amends if Cédric Terry keeps him out of trouble
10. IXORA – Quality element that came 2nd of 9 in a 2850m Laon Class D 10 days ago. Is new to Chartres but in present form is very easy to like for a first-5 spot
11. IACYNTHE DIDJEAP – Made short work of a 2800m Rambouillet Class F, on return from his spell, late last month and, although yet to deliver at Chartres, is still worth retaining
12. HAILEY D’OURVILLE – Showed improvement when 5th of 18 in a 2800m Pontchâteau Class F 2 weeks ago. Has little room for manoeuvre but can still pick up some minor-place prizemoney
13. GALION – Has ability but yet to get into his stride this year. One from last in a 3200m Landivisiau Class F earlier in the month and is unlikely to shake things up
14. HAZILYS – Yet to get her nose in front this year but has come close, most recently 3rd of 17 in a 2875m Argentan Class F late-May. Pleased on lone start here and should not be overlooked
Summary: 6 year-olds are out in force here and preference goes to IF YOU CAN (5) who is justifiably out to confirm his recent success at Le Touquet. That said, INDOCILE (9) showed his form at Laval last week, sports a revised configuration, and with application, should prove the main threat. INITIALE HERAULT (3) has won 3 of her last 4 and, even against the boys this time, still looks competitive for a place in the frame. Hard to knock when she can stay focused, IDOLA (1) is competitively-shod for her return to competition and can get straight down to business.

1. KING CASH CEKE – Kicked the year off successfully but sanctioned in next 4, latterly on re-entry in a 2100m Vincennes Class E last week. Looks to be in form though and, with application, can make first 5
2. KLIF DU DEZERT – Sanctioned in a 3000m Nantes Class D earlier this month when clearly going well. Is better than his numbers would suggest and is one to keep an eye on
3. KARMA TEJY – Missed out by little in a 2800m Pontchâteau Class E a fortnight ago, having trotted 3rd here in May and will be no easy touch if he can keep his action together
4. KAISER GRIFF – Took not time getting back in the winners’ enclosure, imposing in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F on comeback late last month. Returns to a hard surface and looks a serious proposition
5. KELISSA D’AVE – Encouraged at La Capelle in April before coming 9th of 10 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 5 May. Shoes on this time and can be passed over
6. KINGMAMBO BELLO – Sanctioned, for 4th straight time, in a 2150m Enghien Class C on 25 May. Never the easiest to gauge but has ample ability and will have his chances if Yoann Lebourgeois keeps him trotting
7. KELIA DES TOUCHES – Excellent since starting to race barefoot but is shod for first outing since coming 3rd of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class E late-April and best to hold off
8. KING IMPERIAL – Returns to racing left-handed after finishing last but one in a 2725m Lisieux Class D on 7 June. Barefoot this time but other more attractive options available
9. KRONOS DU GOUTIER – Hardy element that won a 2400m Amiens Class E with authority on 27 May. Should appreciate Chartres profile and can figure prominently
10. KARAT COOL – Returns to racing shod after being sanctioned in a 3000m Nantes Class D on 3 June. Is in decent shape though and, even with shoes back on, can pick up some crumbs
11. KANCAENNAISE – Disappointing in all 3 starts this term, most recently sanctioned, at 163/1, in a 2875m Class D at Meslay-du-Maine 3 weeks ago, and even racing barefoot, can be disregarded
12. KIRIA DE CASTELLE – Classy future prospect making Chartres debut on a hat-trick, completing the double in a 2825m Durtal Class F a month back, and will be expected to make this her own
Summary: Just €50 from the limit of earnings, and winner of both starts this year, KIRIA DE CASTELLE (12) is going to take some beating. The opposition’s charge will be led by KRONOS DU GOUTIER (9) who opened his French account at Amiens last time, and KAISER GRIFF (4) who got straight down to business on re-entry at Rambouillet late last month, and who sports a new configuration. Sanctioned in 4 of 5 starts this term, KINGMAMBO BELLO (6) races unshod-behind for the first time and will be reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois.

1. JOYEUSE DU PORTO – Failed to confirm her Machecoul success when 8th, behind JOYCE CAUVELLIERE (16), in a 2750m Elbeuf Class F on 5 May. Reliability not her strong suit but, if focused, can play a small role
2. JUGOR – Disappointing in all 4 starts this term, latterly 8th behind JAKAR DU MOULINET (6) in a 2825m Sablé-sur-Sarthe Class F late last month, and can be confidently passed over
3. JAG KADESH – Should not be too hastily judged for late-May’s 2825m Sablé-sur-Sarthe Class F sanction. Is faithful for the most part, reverts to racing unshod behind, and will be competitive for a first-5 cheque
4. JALMINE VERDERIE – Versatile mare that trotted 4th to JOKER D’OLAINE (15) in a 3150m Mamers Class F a month back. Debuts at a track she should appreciate and from the front line looks a player
5. JOLIE PETTEVINIERE – 7th of 10 finishers in a 2625m claimer at Châlons-en-Champagne on 25 May and, even with front shoes off, has no possible chance
6. JAKAR DU MOULINET – 4th of 16 in a 2825m Class F at Sablé-sur-Sarthe late-May, on first start since January. Will have come on for the run, breaks in front, and is not going to be far from the action
7. JUVARI DU QUENNE – Still being conditioned when sanctioned in a 2775m Elbeuf Class F on 2 June. Races barefoot this time, is confirmed at the venue, and could well get a look-in
8. JINGLE DU TRIO – 6th of 13 in a 2850m Lyon-Parilly Class F on 25 May. Enjoys a good entry but others still easier to back
9. JUDICIOUS DAYDREAM – Has struggled for much of the season, most recently last but one in a 2200m Caen Class F a month ago and, barefoot or not, will have little to contribute
10. JONCHEE DE BLAY – Modest mare making first appearance since coming last but one in a 2150m Argentan Class D last August, and can be ruled out
11. JOS DU JAL – Reassured at Elbeuf before coming 8th of 10 in a 2500m monté Class E at Savigny-sur-Braye 10 days ago. Shoes on and no threat
12. JOHANNA ELEVEN – Disappointing here late-April before faulting in a 2650m Laon Class E on 26 May, and the extra 25m to travel will do her prospects no favours
13. JUNIOR DE BRY – 6th of 8 finishers in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F late-May, on just 2nd start following a long absence. Returns to a track he appreciates with a realistic chance of imposing
14. JAMBIER – Sanctioned when favourite for a 2400m Class E at Beaumont-de-Lomagne 2 weeks ago. Is plainly at his best and can win this if he assures his initial strides
15. JOKER D’OLAINE – Excellent in 3 of last 4, latterly 2nd of 16 in a 3150m Mamers Class F a month ago. Unlikely to repeat in this category but will still generate some interest
16. JOYCE CAUVELLIERE – 7th of 10 finishers in a 2750m Elbeuf Class F on 5 May. Has had time to get her house in order and will have a say in the outcome, provided she runs to her mark
Summary: JAMBIER (14) may not be the easiest of horses to handle but he has been in fine form this spring and can win this if Léo Travert gets him off on the right foot. JUNIOR DE BRY (13) has 2 races under his belt, has never disappointed at Chartres, and similarly looks a serious proposition. 25m better off, and as honest as they come, JALMINE VERDERIE (4) deserves to take her chances, as does JOYCE CAUVELLIERE (16) who has just hind shoes off in a legitimate bid to get back in the game.

1. LORD DAIRPET – Finished 2nd in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class E late-April before losing it in the stewards’ room. Comes here fresh and will be no soft touch if Jacques Bruneau can keep him trotting
2. LAISSEZ FAIRE – Encouraging 4th of 11 in a 2300m Class E here on 2 June. Cannot be considered a priority but has yet to disappoint at Chartres and will be expected to make first 5
3. LORENZO DAIRPET – Well-related individual that raced better in a 2875m Enghien Class D late-May than his 6th place would suggest. Entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois for first time and will be afforded every chance
4. LADY POP – Starts for the first time since coming last but one in a 2200m Vincennes Class C late-January, and will need the race
5. LINARO – Easy winner at Graignes, first time out, before coming close 2nd of 9 in a 2275m Nantes Class E on 3 June. Is a trotter on the way up and looks eminently capable of making this his own
6. LORD DES FANES – Showed early promise but last of 6, on re-entry, in a 2800m Pontchâteau Class D 2 weeks ago, and is unlikely to garner much support
7. LADY OH – Reassuring 4th of 11 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class D 10 days ago. Takes on a tougher bunch this time but can still get in on the action
8. LUCKY DE MAC – 5th of 7 in a 2200m Vincennes Class D last week. Form clearly heading in right direction and, under these conditions, looks a leading contender
Summary: Winner on debut before being pipped at Nantes next time, LINARO (5) has a lot of progression in him and can return to victorious ways. He will still encounter opposition from the likes of the well-entered LUCKY DE MAC (8) who returns to racing shod at a track he should take well to, and LORENZO DAIRPET (3) who drops in category with Yoann Lebourgeois reining this time. Sanctioned more often than not, LORD DAIRPET (1) is nevertheless a colt with a future and it is only a question of time before he gets his nose in front.

1. KLINGER – Late developer but hails from a stable in-form. Mathieu Mottier engaged for the occasion and, competitively-shod, is not to be underestimated
2. KAID DE GARAMBEAU – Sanctioned in both starts to date, most recently a Class F at Nort-sur-Erdre 11 days ago, and can be confidently ruled out
3. KLESIA LA HURETRY – Yet to show much aptitude for the game, latterly 6th behind KEOPS DE GODINIERE (15) in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 12 May, and will need to raise her game
4. KUEEN PEARL – Pleased on debut before being sanctioned in a 2800m Villedieu-les-Poëles harness Class H on 9 June, and debuts under the saddle with modest ambition
5. KABELIA – Pulled-up in a 2400m Nort-sur-Erdre Class F on 8 June. Has placed just once in 16 monté outings and will have few takers
6. KAYSA DE THIEZAC – Showed improvement when 4th of 9 in a 2850m Laon Class F 10 days ago but still has a lot more to find
7. KALMIE HAUFOR – Disappointing this term after having shown promise last season, most recently 7th of 10 finishers in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class E a fortnight ago, and can be passed over
8. KORFOU LEMAN – Sanctioned in a 2825m Vire Class F a week ago, but has already delivered this season, and must be taken seriously
9. KANA DE SUCE – Sanctioned, when going well, in a 2825m Vire Class F last Wednesday. Not always the most rewarding of horses though and others preferred
10. KATLEEN REYOR – Looked ordinary when sanctioned on monté debut in a 2825m Vire Class F last week, and is not about to spring any surprises
11. KIDAM DU METZ – Failed to confirm his Elbeuf victory when faulting in a 2875m Argentan Class E late last month, but can play a small part if Gaël Gervais manages to keep him trotting
12. KOKA DE MALAC – Won a brace before coming 4th of 9 finishers in a 2950m Vichy Class E on 1 June. Has never confirmed racing left-handed but, in present shape, is hard to ignore
13. KANAILLE DU MONT – Lost her action in a 2150m Mauquenchy harness Class E 10 days ago. Has decent monté references though and, pleasant on her lone start at the venue, will generate some interest
14. KALLYPIGE – Steps up in category after opening her monté account, on 9 May, in a 2700m Jullouville-les-Pins Class F. Entrusted to Estelle Croisic again and, in present condition, is very easy to like
15. KEOPS DE GODINIERE – Sanctioned in a 2600m Class F at La Roche-Posay earlier this month. Is clearly in form though and is unlikely to disappoint if Romain Marty keeps him trotting
16. KRISTINA DU CLOS – 8th of 10, when being prepared for this, in a 2300m Châteaubriant harness Class E late last month. Shoes off this time, is ideally-engaged, and will be expected to challenge for the win
Summary: Excellent since starting to race barefoot under the saddle, KALLYPIGE (14) faces her last real objective of the spring and, with application, should be able to wrap this up. KALLYPIGE (14) has turned a corner lately, is unbeaten with her rider, and has the wherewithal to apply the pressure. KEOPS DE GODINIERE (15) is never far from faulting but is proven at this level and, on good behaviour, will have his chances. Like a horse reborn since returning to the monté code, KOKA DE MALAC (12) races unshod behind for the first time under the saddle, and looks competitively well-in.
