1. BEAUTIFULL RISK – Won a solid race over 2300m at Dax in a Class 3 course qualifier on the 8th of July 2024. Must inclusion
2. STELLO TALLY – Finished 4th over 2300m at Senonnes-Pouance in a handicap on the 6th of July 2024. Should be in the firing line
3. TERRE BLANCHE – Finished 4th over 2100m at Marseille Borely in a claimer on the 7th of June 2024. Include in the play
4. IL CAPO – Runner up over 2400m at Salon De-Provence in a limited handicap on the 25th of June 2024. Winning claims
5. LEGEND RACE – No show in 8th spot over 2400m at Salon De-Provence in a limited handicap on the 25th of June 2024. Hard to assess

7. VINO – Finished 3rd over 2400m at Chantilly in a limited handicap on the 29th of June 2024. Each way chance
8. WELL DESTINY – No type of run in 7th position over 2500m at Aix-Les-Bains in a Class 3 event on the 4th of July 2024. Others make more appeal
9. TESTIMONIO – Beaten out of sight in 6th position over 2300m at Dax in a Class 3 course qualifier on the 8th of July 2024. Would be a surprise winner
10. SHALAA DANCER – Finished 7th over 2500m at Aix-Les-Bains in a limited handicap on the 4th of July 2024. One to pass by
Summary: IL CAPO (4) has been a model of consistency and would be deserving of that maiden win. STELLO TALLY (2) gets weight of the back and will make her presence felt in a big way. TERRE BLANCHE (3) is seldom far off the action and is hard to ignore. she will be on the premises and with a bit of luck, she can win. BEAUTIFULL RISK (1) is at the top of the weights but arrives in winning form and it would be no surprise to see her make it three in a row.

1. NUIT DE L’HOMME – Finished last of five over 1400m at Saint Cloud in a Class 2 on the 30th of June 2024. Winning chance in this
2. GOLDY DAY – No type of effort in 12th position over 1600m at Clairefontaine in a maiden on the 5th of July 2024. Can show up better
3. PARISCAYENNE – Not seen to best effect in 10th spot over 1350m at Lyon Parilly in a maiden on the 24th of June 2024. Capable of better
4. TOMIKA – Finished 5th over 1400m at Strasbourg in a maiden on the 13th of June 2024. Can make solid improvement to earn
5. PEPPONE CHOP – Finished 8th over 1350m at Lyon Parilly in a maiden on the 1st of June 2024. Others preferred
6. GUAPAK – Dam won six times from 2400m – 3400m and this colt may lack the sharpness needed on debut. Others preferred
7. MADE IN PEPPER – This filly hails from a yard that aren’t known for debut winners and she is likely to need the experience. The market will be a guide
8. YOUNG AND PROUD – Below par effort in 9th spot over 1350m at Lyon Parilly in a maiden race on the 24th of June 2024. Can bounce back
9. ABBESSES – Finished 7th on debut over 1400m at La Teste in a maiden race on the 27th of June 2024. Open to good improvement and can feature
10. MAKING WAVES – Finished 6th over 1200m at Marseille Borely in a Class 3 on the 27th of May 2024. One to pass by
11. SIREN’S SYMPHONY – Dam won twice over 2000m and this filly could be in need of the outing but may be one to keep an eye on. Follow the market
12. TAGA – Finished 6th over 1200m at Aix-Les-Bains in a claimer on the 9th of July 2024. Others inspire more confidence
13. EVERBLOOM – Finished 6th over 1100m at Salon De-Provence in a claimer on the 25th of June 2024. Unlikely to feature
Summary: ABBESSES (9) showed signs of ability on debut and would have tightened up significantly with that run under the belt. She can only improve and could be worth an each way play. YOUNG AND PROUD (8) brings solid form to the table and looks to be ready to win despite a moderate last run. NUIT DE L’HOMME (1) has run against slightly strong in a couple of his outings to date and looks to be well placed in this. GOLDY DAY (2) can get involved if showing improvement on her debut run.

1. CIARAN – Finished 8th over 1200m at Chantilly in a Group 3 on the 16th of June 2024. Should go very close
2. SUPIDO – Runner up over 1400m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 2 event on the 30th of June 2024. Could run into the money
3. REUX – Winner over 1200m at Marseille Borely in a Class 2 on the 7th of June 2024. Money chance

8. BLUE HUNT – Finished 3rd over 1200m at La Teste in a Class 2 event on the 28th of June 2024. One to pass by
Summary: CIARAN (1) was outclassed at Group level last time out where the form has worked out with the winner coming through to win again. He will find this to his liking and rates the one to beat. DETONATE (4) was a gutsy maiden winner and should have more to come. LA GUAPISIMA (7) is improving and winning well so will be a threat at the finish. O SOLE MIO (5) is better than his last run and can bounce back.

5. SPINELLO – Finished close up in 5th spot over 2200m at Parislongchamp in a divided handicap on the 20th of June 2024. Should go close
6. ARIGATO – Held in 3rd spot over 2600m at Marseille Borely in a Class 2 on the 31st of May 2024. One to pass by
7. DAY TRADER – Pleasing effort in 4th spot over 2200m at Parislongchamp in a divided handicap on the 20th of June 2024. Winning chance
8. ZERAFA – Found one too good when runner up over 2400m at Chantilly in a maiden contest on the 1st of June 2024. Place chance
9. CHESS – Winner over 2200m at Parislongchamp in a divided handicap on the 20th of June 2024. Include in all bets
10. WIT PERD – Comfortably held in 5th spot over 2400m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 2 on the 30th of June 2024. Will be a surprise winner
11. NATURAL GIFT – Finished 3rd over 2400m at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 course qualifier on the 13th of June 2024. Place chance

14. MEASTER OWEN – Won with a bit in hand over 2400m at Salon De-Provence in a limited handicap on the 25th of June 2024. Could still be under the radar
15. LADY MANA – Finished 2nd over 2400m at Lyon Parilly in a handicap on the 15th of June 2024. Others inspire more confidence
16. GALIGERA – Finished 2nd behind a reopposing sort at Marseille Borely over 2600m in a limited handicap on the 7th of June 2024. Work cut out here
Summary: SPINELLO (5) has been improving with each start and looks to be heading in the right direction to be a serious threat for top honors. The extra yardage should see him in the firing line. DAY TRADER (7) is a two-time winner that wasn’t disgraced last time out and has the ability of winning a race of this nature with a bit of luck in running. CHESS (9) made the right move last time out and with Maxime Guyon in the irons once again, he should have every chance of another possible checkmate. NATURAL GIFT (11) is a well bred filly that should make her presence felt with a handy weight.

1. WOODCHUCK – Talented, good form, placed 2nd over 2000m on the 23rd of June at Milan in a Group 3 and could be hard to beat. Win
2. MAGELLAN – Brings solid credentials into the race, finished 3rd over 2400m at Lyon Parilly on the 23rd of June in Listed class. Big runner
3. SPEECHMAN – Placed 2nd over 2100m at Parislongchamp on the 20th of June in a weak claiming race. Prefer others
4. MON BEL CANTO – Was a winner over 2000m at Marseille Borely on the 21st of last month albeit against much weaker. Place chance
5. QUEST THE MOON – Takes on stronger, won last start over 2000m but others are preferred for the win. Small, outside, place chance
6. UNE PERLE – Boasts a victory in her last start and should go close. The win came at Milan over 2000m last month. Include
7. JORDANELLA – Has shown some spark, ignore last run, placed 2nd before that in a Listed race but others should be too strong
8. PERSIST – Taking time to win again, placed only 9th last time and needs to do plenty more for the win. Unlikely
9. TRAFALGAR SQUARE – Ignore last run, placed a good 2nd over 2200m before that in Group 3 class at Parislongchamp. Strong each way chance
Summary: WOODCHUCK (1) has been excelling in some very competitive races and ran an absolute cracker last time in a Group 3 over 2000m at Milan, Italy. He is the one to beat. TRAFALGAR SQUARE (9) can be expected to serve up way more than he did last time and boasts useful, overall form. Bright chance. UNE PERLE (6) comes into the race fresh off a victory in Italy and should be very competitive. MAGELLAN (2) has strong each way claims and is a must for all betting calculations.

1. CUSTARD TARTE – She is a long time maiden but should win soon off this mark. Placed 9th over 1800m in a Handicap at Clairefontaine last month. Include in the play as the place value
2. CREAM ICE – Winning well, most recent victory was at Nantes over 1600m in a Handicap on the 3rd of July and can follow up. Win
3. TWIN BOY – Was a winner 5 starts back at Lion D’Angers over 1400m but has been disappointing thereafter. Pass by
4. SPORT COUPE – Finished 5th over 1850m in a weak claiming race at Hyeres on the 28th of last month. Should run well. Chance
5. MAGICAL LOVE – Has been racing at Prague, finished 2nd over 1800m there last month and despite being a likely outsider, could earn
6. SENEPARK – Current form has been on the decline and is therefore hard to make a case for. Pass by
7. TELL ME WHY – Will need to progress on latest 5th placing at Deauville over 1900m in a Handicap and can. One for the shortlist. Good chance
8. KISS QUEEN – Finished 7th over 2000m last time out and will need to build on that to feature here. Pass by
Summary: CREAM ICE (2) has won two out of her last four starts and is clearly in a good space. Her most recent win was at Nantes over 1600m. CUSTARD TARTE (1) is taking time to get it all right but has shown glimpses of hope and is well handicapped now. SPORT COUPE (4) is making us wait for his next win but is never too far adrift the action. He can build on his latest 5th and get much closer. TELL ME WHY (7) is the value suggestion for the quartet.

1. FREE BREATH – Better effort last time when 4th over 2400m at Clairefontaine on the 5th of this month albeit in a weak race. Good place chance
2. SHATTERHAND – Ignore last run, is a tad erratic, placed 2nd at penultimate start over 2100m at Saint-Cloud. On best form, can go close. Chance
3. JUSSIFER – Has run 5th in his last three starts and could easily run 5th again. Include in larger quartet perms at best
4. PIERRE LE GRAND – Finished 7th over 1800m in a Handicap at Marseille Borely on the 21st of June and 3rd before that. Respect and include
5. INTERIEUR – Current form has been on the decline since running 4th three starts ago and is therefore hard to like. Pass by
6. NO CURE NO PAY – Finished an encouraging 2nd over 2000m at Compiegne in a claiming race on the 9th of this month and can go one more. First choice
7. KETAMINE BAILLY – Current form has been on the decline and she would quite frankly, be a shock winner. Hard to fancy
8. CLEMENZA – Ignore last run when 7th, placed 4th over 1600m at Lyon Parilly on the 1st of June and has a bright chance on that. Strong each way claims
9. PERROU – Encouraging 3rd last time over 1850m at Hyeres and can place again. Good chance
10. WUKOLINA – Finished 10th over 2900m at Clairefontaine last time. Far prefer others and can be dismissed from all bets
Summary: NO CURE NO PAY (6) is testing our patience for the maiden win but did make a huge threat of getting it all right soon, last time, over 2000m at Compiegne. He is selected to go one better. SHATTERHAND (2) is a tad erratic and difficult to predict but on best efforts seen, can go close. FREE BREATH (1) is taking time to achieve his next career victory but did run a fair race last time and can be included in the quartet. CLEMENZA (8) can be expected to build on her latest 7th placing at Clairefontaine. Strong place chance.

1. KIEF DU NORD – Lightly raced against weaker but could make the presence felt here. Fair 4th over 2400m at Wissembourg last time. Outsider with a place chance
2. JONCOURT – Won a 2900m race at Durtal on the 2nd of June and has fair overall form. Include in larger quartet permutations
3. JORIS – Was a winner three starts back at Angers but has not shone thereafter. Much prefer others for the shortlist
4. KALEO JIM – Much better 3rd last time over 3100m at Nantes on the 18th of June and can place again. Place chance
5. JAKARTA DE FROM – Holding form, one for the shortlist, finished 3rd over 2800m at Lyon Parilly last time. Strong each way claims
6. KEL ESPOIR EN JEU – Bidding for the hat trick, won over 2800m at Lyon Parilly on the 15th of last month and is confidently selected to win again
7. KARLA CONTI – Two attractive efforts thus far. Placed 2nd over 2400m at Nantes on the 18th of June and can go very close. Bright chance
8. JUDGELAND – Boasts a recent win over 3000m at Wissembourg on the 8th of June and can follow up. Bright chance
9. KAFKAIENNE – Great debut run but followed up with only a 7th placing at Vichy on the 26th of May over 2600m. Expect much better
10. JOKE – She is hard to fancy on current and overall form and would be a surprise winner. Happy to dismiss from all bets
Summary: KEL ESPOIR EN JEU (6) has had a handful of runs and already notched up three victories. She is bidding for the hat trick and is confidently selected to achieve it. JAKARTA DE FROM (5) boasts consistent form and can never be ignored. She finished 3rd at Lyon Parilly last time over 2800m. Strong each way chance. JUDGELAND (8) attracted the attention when winning last time and if she were to follow up, it would be no shock at all. Lively chance. KALEO JIM (4) is becoming hard to assess but did run well last time and therefore has to be considered for the quartet.

| C1 – PRIX DE LA GARE DU NORD – 2875m (a2m) – Class G Amateur Drivers Race – Harness – EUR € 12,000 |
1. IT’S DU QUENNE – Unthreatening but respectable 5th of 10 in a 2875m amateurs Class G here a week ago. Still has more to find though
2. IVORY DU CHERISAY – Was on a fruitful streak before finishing 8th of 12 in a 2850m Class E at Maure-de-Bretagne on 12 May. Unseen since but is shod to preference and, from the front row, should not be ignored
3. HYSIA D’HUON – Would have finished close in a 2825m Class G at Le Croisé-Laroche early last month had she kept her action together. Form is not in question and will be dangerous if Jean-Maxime Lesne can keep her trotting
4. IZQUIERDO – Runner-up in an amateurs event at La Capelle before being sanctioned 4 times in a row, most recently a 2700m Class F at Le Croisé-Laroche on 24 June, and can be passed over
5. HIMEROS DU DOLLAR – Flattering 4th of 11 in an amateurs Class F over track and trip 3 weeks ago and, even with front pads fitted, is not about to cause an upset
6. GAGA LADY BENACH – Blows hot and cold but has superb amateur references. Sanctioned though for the 3rd time in 4 starts when faulting in a 3450m amateurs Class H at Agon-Coutainville on Sunday, and backs up with limited prospects
7. ICONE PLANCHETTE – Won 2 of 3 recent amateur starts, latterly a 2725m Cabourg amateurs Class G last week. Unbeaten with Julien Mouchard reining and will have her chances
8. FLEUR DE VANILLE – Disappointing in last 2, latterly last of 12 in a 2800m amateurs Class H at Moulins-la-Marche 10 days ago and can expect to remain friendless
9. IQUITO PLANCHETTE – Last of 10 in a 2850m Laval Class D on 13 June, but has been impressive at this level lately and is not about to go down without a fight
10. INDIAN PACIFIC – 3rd in a Bernay amateurs event before coming 2nd of 9 in a 2650m Saint-Galmier Class F late-June and, with application, should have this in the bag
11. GINGIRELLA – 6th of 9 in an 1800m Class E at La Capelle last week. Tends to go well for Piet Van Pollaert and, considering her amateur references, must be taken seriously
Summary: Three of the 4 big-hitters are forced to start on the back line here but it is hard to ignore the revitalised INDIAN PACIFIC (10) who has gone close in both the amateur and professional ranks recently and, even though shod this time, can still bring home the bacon. ICONE PLANCHETTE (7) tends to show more racing clockwise but was successful in 2 of her last 3 at this level and will be no pushover. Stablemate HYSIA D’HUON (3) has been enjoying a productive run of form and will be expected to bounce back from his Laval clinker. Winner at Le Croisé-Laroche late-May, HYSIA D’HUON (3) failed to confirm next time out, but returns to racing barefoot and, 25m better off, should logically set the record straight.

| C2 – PRIX DES BOUCHES-DU-RHONE – 2150m (a1m1/4) – Class R Claiming Amateur Riders – Harness – EUR € 18,000 |
1. EDITEUR LA RAVELLE – Was preparing for this when last but one in a 2150m Biarritz Class D a fortnight ago. Has nothing to prove in this category, will appreciate the short trip over this even surface, and can get straight back in the game
2. ELVIS D’EVRON – Decent dual-discipline trotter racing barefoot this time after coming last but one in a conditioning Class A over course and distance mid-June. Shoes off this time and is not to be underestimated
3. DUC DU LUPIN – Back under harness after coming 6th of 11 in a monté Gr.3 over course and distance a week ago. Has twice placed in claimers here, in the same configuration, and from the 3-spot could pleasantly surprise
4. DORUN BEAM – Left a good impression at Montauban before trotting 7th of 15 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C late last month. Takes a big dip in category, has an excellent place on the front line, and is very easy to like for a place in the frame
5. EL SANTO HAUFOR – Last of 8, behind EDITEUR LA RAVELLE (1), in a 2150m Biarritz Class D 2 weeks ago and can expect to have few friends
6. EMENCOURT BLEQUIN – Won a Cagnes claimer last February but has 6 time failed to confirm, most recently 6th of 10 over 2960m at Waregem 10 days ago. Front shoes off but prospects still appear limited
7. EASY ATOUT – Showed form here earlier in the season but has since come off the boil, latterly 7th of 17 in a claimer under these conditions 3 weeks ago, and is unlikely to spring any surprises
8. ELIXIR DU RABUTIN – Has not been seen out since trotting 11th of 14 in a 2950m Vichy Class D mid-May, but is very effective in this category and can make a big impact on his Enghien debut
9. DOMINO DE LA BRISE – Last of 10 in a 1609m Vichy Class D 11 days ago and, in present form, is hard to make a case
10. HONEY MONEY – A complete write-off in all 5 starts this year, latterly 13th of 15 in a 2850m Vincennes Class F 2 months ago, and has no possible chance
11. FAKIR DE GESVRES – Confirmed under these conditions but out of the picture in last 3, most recently last of 14 in a Class D here late-June, and can be disregarded
12. FRUCTUEUX – Disappointing on the whole recently, latterly sanctioned in a 2525m Class F Les Andelys late last month, and can be ruled out
13. GUELIZ – Decent 6th of 17 in a 2675m Class D at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 3 weeks ago. Unplaced on lone claiming start but in present form can trot his way in for a minor-place cheque
14. GLOSSY BOY – Respectable 5th of 10 finishers in a 2575m Agen-Le Passage Class D on 22 June. Handed a rough draw but appears to be on the way back up and will not be far off the mark if Tom Beauvais positions him early
15. EDEN DE L’ITON – Placed twice a this level during the spring, including under these conditions. Returns to the category after coming 11th of 12 in a 2150m conditioning Enghien Class C and, despite the draw, looks a serious player
Summary: Very impressive earlier in the year, EDITEUR LA RAVELLE (1) subsequently went off the boil but he has 3 races under his belt, goes barefoot for the occasion and, with his mind on the game, can win this. That being said, EDEN DE L’ITON (15) placed in 2 claimers during the spring and will have his chances if his driver successfully navigates the start. DORUN BEAM (4) is smartly-positioned behind the car and raced better at Vincennes last time than the result would suggest. ELIXIR DU RABUTIN (8) breaks from the wide outside but has solid claiming credentials and is unlikely to let the side down.

1. LOVELY DES BROUETS – Unthreatening 6th of 12 in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle on 21 June and is unlikely to improve on that
2. LINDY D’OURVILLE – Unremarkable filly that finished 11th of 13, behind LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (5), in a 2850m Laval Class E on 13 June and is not about to ruffle any feathers
3. LOVE LETTERS FERM – Has not been seen out since coming 5th of 13 in a 2350m Angers Class D early-April and will need the run
4. LADY PETTEVINIERE – Produced some decent performances before being sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class D a month ago. Should not be too hastily judged and, with David Thomain reining, will be afforded every chance
5. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL – Progressive filly that did not enjoy the best of trips 2 weeks ago when sanctioned in a Class C over course and distance, but can win this if she stays in stride from one end of the race to the other
6. LADOTA PRIOR – Reassured at Cabourg before being sanctioned, when going well, in a 2150m Class D here 3 weeks ago. Form is not in doubt though and, on good behaviour, can go close
7. LUTTE DU LOGIS – Last of 9, behind LUCKY STAR JIEL (9), in a 2725m Cabourg Class D a fortnight ago, on first start back. 4 pads fitted this time and is unlikely to go home empty-handed
8. LIONELLE DU SOLEIL – Makes just 2nd appearance under harness after coming 4th of 7 in a 2200m Vincennes monté Class D 3 weeks ago and will have limited chances
9. LUCKY STAR JIEL – Improving sort that finished 7th of 9, on re-entry, in a 2725m Cabourg Class D 2 weeks ago. Is sure to have progressed, will appreciate the Enghien profile, and is not going to be far from the action
10. LUMIERE DAIRPET – Imposed at Erbray early-June before coming close 2nd of 10 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class D 11 days later. Has never delivered racing anticlockwise but will have a lot to contribute if she turns
Summary: Solid in her first 2 starts, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (5) lost her action here next time but with Alexandre Abrivard reining on this occasion, should not disappoint. She will still come under pressure from the tricky, but clearly talented, LADOTA PRIOR (6) who will have a lot to offer if Mathieu Mottier can keep her action together, and the well-engaged LUMIERE DAIRPET (10) who has started to make good on her promise. A quality element with one race in her since the break, LUCKY STAR JIEL (9) will have come on for the run and makes her Enghien debut with legitimate ambition.

1. LOTUS PAULOIS – Back under harness after coming 4th of 6 in a 2550m Reims monté Class E mid-June and appears to have no possible chance
2. LICARI – Got off the mark at Amiens last month before faulting early in a 2150m Class E here a week ago, but with application, can get a look-in
3. LAIOS DU GOUTIER – Runner-up in 2 of last 3, latterly by the smallest of margins in a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to impose but can still pick up a first-5 cheque
4. LYS GEMA – Improving colt that lost his maiden status in a 2225 Feurs Class F on 22 June. Steps up in category, with 4 pads fitted, but still no more than a minor place prospect
5. LARIANO – Has started to make good on his promise, most recently winning a 2525m Class E at Les Andelys on 16 June. Alexandre Abrivard reining for the first time and will be no shrinking violet. Chance
6. LUTIN VENESI – Won a 2300m Montier-en-Der Class F 10 days ago, on just 2nd start back. Has won 2 of 3 to date, is entrusted to David Thomain for the first time, but may struggle to make any impact
7. LYNX DU RIB – Left a very good impression at Cherbourg a month ago, winning a 2625m Class E in good order. Takes on a better bunch this time though and a repeat seems improbable
8. LIGNERY – Promising colt making first appearance since being sanctioned in a Class B over course and distance last October and will need the outing
9. LANCIER DU GOUTIER – Smartly won a 2700m Vire Class E on 12 June following 2 straight sanctions and, with stride in check, could double his money
10. L’ARGENTIER – Improving colt that missed out by little in a 2450m Caen Class D a month back. Has evident potential and is not without a chance of winning this
11. LESS TIME – Produced 2 good efforts before easily getting off the mark in a 2675m Class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 3 weeks ago. Enjoys a superb entry and can wrap this up
Summary: Always in the mix, LESS TIME (11) opened his account late last month, outclassing the opposition, and if he takes to the Enghien profile, can make this his own. Benjamin Rochard will still be keeping a keen eye on the progressive LANCIER DU GOUTIER (9) who made short work of a Vire Class E mid-June, and LARIANO (5) who looks thoroughly up to the task after losing his maiden status a month back. Like the favourite, L’ARGENTIER (10) is well-entered and legitimately bids to confirm his recent success.

1. LOTUS DES CHAMPS – Sanctioned on debut in a 2700m Vire harness Class F earlier in the month, and is unlikely to shake things up
2. LAZIE PONT VAUTIER – Has taken well to the new code, latterly 5th of 8 in a 2000m Class E at La Capelle 10 days ago. Front pads fitted for the occasion but may be biting off more than she can chew
3. LINDY LOU – Sanctioned as often as not but stormed up in a 2850m Laval Class E earlier this month and a similar performance would logically see her repeat
4. LAURENE DE BAILLY – Has demonstrated some aptitude for the discipline but sanctioned, when unsupported, in 29 June race of reference, and is unlikely to spring any surprises
5. LITTLE DRAGON – Has form at a superior level but below-par last but one in a 2700m Vincennes Class B a month ago. Has had time to get his house in order and looks a respectable place prospect on this occasion
6. LOLA DAIRPET – Appears to have found her way in the new discipline. Won a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 25 June and the 3-timer is not out of the question
7. L’APOGEE IMPERIAL – Oddly out of sorts when 6th behind LEGEND DARLING (11) in a Class B under these conditions late last month. Has otherwise been in cracking form and will not be far off the mark
8. LUSSABEAU – Showed improvement a month ago when 4th of 7 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class B. Fitted with 4 pads this time, with Alexis Collette reining, but still no more than a minor place prospect
9. LOTUS ZEN – Has been encouraging recently, most recently 4th, a place behind LEGEND DARLING (11), in a Class B under these conditions late last month, and others preferred
10. LOBBY MESLOIS – Has taken to the monté code like a duck to water, most recently winning a 2200m Vincennes Class D in good order 3 weeks ago, and looks principal threat to LINDY LOU (3)
11. LEGEND DARLING – Yet to get off the mark but consistently comes close, most recently 3rd of 7 finishers in a Class B over 2875m here on 29 June. Unlikely to have her way but will still figure prominently
12. L’ARC EN CIEL – Moderate colt that trotted 6th of 8 in a harness claimer over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Has been campaigned at a high level under the saddle and even in this company, will have his work cut out
Summary: Temperamental she might be but LINDY LOU (3) was nothing short of majestic at Laval a fortnight ago and can double her money if she stays in stride. LOBBY MESLOIS (10) has won 2 of 3 monté starts and even stepping up in class, looks a serious proposition. LOLA DAIRPET (6) makes her Enghien debut on a hat-trick and is very much in the running, while LITTLE DRAGON (5) drops back in category and will be more competitive.

1. KANKAN – Regularly figures prominently when focused, but unthreatening 7th, behind KAPITANO DE LOU (7) in a 2150m Class D here 11 days ago. Will be fit by now though and, on good behaviour, will be expected to figure prominently
2. KIPLING IRON – Sanctioned but still showed his form in a 2150m Class D here 11 days ago. Has buckets of talent but is too frequently sanctioned to warrant much support
3. KOH I NOOR – Quality element that has done nothing but improve since his winter break. Authoritative winner of a Class E over course and distance on 29 June and will be a tough nut to crack
4. KISMET – Substandard since winning at Salon-de-Provence in May, latterly 8th of 9 in a 2650m Saint-Galmier Class B late last month. Mathieu Mottier reining this time but others still easier to back
5. KOZIELLO DE LOU – Form has regressed since winning at Vincennes 3 months ago. 10th of 13 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes Class C late-June but has references at this level and, already a winner for Yoann Lebourgeois, will have his supporters
6. KELYO DU SOLNAN – Scored a 3rd straight success when triumphant in a 2825m Vire Class E early this month. Arguably better racing right-handed but in current condition is very easy to like
7. KAPITANO DE LOU – Has shown signs of the promise he demonstrated at 3, most recently 4th of 16, at 61/1, in a 2150m Class D here 11 days ago. Will not be available at that price this time and Franck Nivard reining will do nothing to harm his prospects
8. KURTISS – Disappointing since returning to competition, most recently faulting in a 2150m Vichy Class D early last month. Entrusted to Jean-Philippe Monclin for the first time, returns to racing shod, but still not a priority
9. KAISER DES GRANGES – Unraced since faulting in a 2700m Vincennes Class D early-April. Seen more often across town and is sure to need the race
10. KID PARKER – Sanctioned in 2 after winning at Lisieux, latterly a 2175m Vincennes Class C on 4 June. Shod this time as he was late-March and, already a winner for his driver, can play a major part if he stays in stride
Summary: A veritable metronome in 2024, KOH I NOOR (3) was a commanding winner over course and distance late last month and is going to take all the beating. Nicely-engaged here, KID PARKER (10) is confirmed at this level, sports modified shoeing and, with application, will be no soft touch. KELYO DU SOLNAN (6) is unbeaten in the day’s configuration and while pulling off the 4-timer is unlikely, it is still within the realm of possibility. KANKAN (1) has 2 races under his belt by now, sports just front pads this time, and is not to be underestimated.

1. GLOIRE DE FLEURY – Unseen under the saddle since October 2021. Returns to the code after being sanctioned in a 2150m Vire harness Class E on 1 July and chances appear slim
2. IBIS PETTEVINIERE – 5th of 6 in a 2750m Cabourg Class D earlier this month. Runner-up in last 2 under the saddle and returns to the code with every chance of making the frame
3. IT’S MY DREAM – Was preparing for this when last of 6 in a 2750m Cabourg Class D on 5 July. Won last 2 under the saddle, latterly over track and trip and, barefoot again, will justifiably garner support
4. IMPERATRICE D’ELLE – Has not been seen out since finishing last but one in a 2875m Class F at Meslay-du-Maine 2 months ago. 4 pads fitted for the first time though and, with her mind on the game, can pick up a cheque
5. ESPOIR DU JOUR – Switches back to the ridden code after coming 9th of 14 in a 2150m harness Class E here earlier in the month. Won over course and distance 5 years ago but that’s unlikely to cut the mustard
6. GRINGO SAVA – Well-supported when sanctioned in a 2800m Chartres Class E on 30 June. Gets another crack at it in this configuration and can play a role if he stays in stride
7. FRODON THONIC – Last of 7 in a 2800m Chartres Class E late-June. Has done nothing of note for some time and will have few takers
8. IKURO JIEL – Easily won a 2825m Vire Class F on 1 July. Has turned a corner this year, appreciates Enghien, and will be expected to finish in the thick of things
9. FASCINANT – Sanctioned, when preparing for this, in a 3025m harness Class E at Montier-en-Der 10 days ago. Races barefoot this time but other more attractive options available
10. ILTON ROYAL – Sent for a break after winning at Vincennes last February. Flew up on re-entry in a 2950m Vichy Class E 3 weeks ago and looks eminently capable of pulling off the hat-trick
11. HURIEL LUDOIS – 7th of 13 in a 2775m harness Class C at Les Sables-d’Olonne 9 days ago. Excels under the saddle though and will be expected to play a leading role
12. ISOCRATE D’ELA – 4th, a place behind IKURO JIEL (8), in a 2200m Vincennes Class D early last month. Has solid Enghien credentials and although unlikely to win this, can still pick up a thin slice of the pie
13. GARNEMENT BLEU – Disappointing since comeback, most recently sanctioned in a 2150m harness Class E here earlier this month. Has never delivered under the saddle and is not about to start
Summary: ILTON ROYAL (10) picked up on re-entry at Vichy 3 weeks ago where he left off last winter, this time in sensational fashion, and will again take all the beating. Leading the opposition is the complicated IBIS PETTEVINIERE (2) who is back under the saddle with a good hand to play, and a barefoot HURIEL LUDOIS (11) who boasts fine monté credentials, and who went close on his only appearance at the venue. IKURO JIEL (8) has been a model of consistency and is not incapable of confirming his Vire success.

1. JOAL DU RIB – Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2850m Laval Class E on 13 June. Has previously won under these conditions and will be no easy touch if Jean-Loïc Claude Dersoir keeps him trotting
2. JOSHUA PEJI – Complicated type making return to harness racing after winning 2 straight under the saddle, most recently a 2800m Chartres Class E late last month. Is brimming with ability and will be dangerous if form transitions
3. JACKSON HILL – Lasckustre 7th of 8 in a Class D over course and distance a week ago. Just front pads fitted this time but others still preferred
4. JOUTEUR D’AUGE – Below-par since winning at Graignes earlier in the year, most recently faulting in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 7 June, and others easier to back
5. JASMIN D’AVE – 10th of 11, on return from his spell, in a Class D under these conditions late-June. Pads fitted this time, with Franck Nivard reining, but still not an obvious choice
6. JOHORE – Encouraged at Laval before coming 5th, a place behind JUST BUILT (12), in a 2700m Vincennes Class D early last month. Is new to the venue but has a reasonable chance of making his presence felt at the business end of the race
7. JAGUAR DU FAN – Won a 2850m Laval Class E mid-June, on just 2nd start back. Imposed last time at the venue and will also be expected to apply the pressure on JIDEO STREET (9)
8. JAFAR DE FAEL – Capable trotter that was an oddly lacklustre 8th of 13 in a 2775m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne 9 days ago. Sports a revised formula, with Benjamin Rochard in the sulky, and will have his supporters
9. JIDEO STREET – Like a horse reborn since returning to racing barefoot, latterly close 2nd in a 2150m Class E here on 27 June. With form maintained, should be able to wrap this up
10. JERICHO – Unraced since coming last but one in a Class D over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Won over shorter here earlier in the year though and, with freshness on his side, will be expected to bounce back. First 5
11. JUSTIN DES MARAIS – Tricky sort but clearly back in the game, winning a 2850m Lyon-Parilly Class E with ease late last month. Won for David Thomain at Saint-Malo 2 months ago and will again be afforded every chance
12. JUST BUILT – Seldom gets his nose in front but regularly in the thick of things. 4th of 12 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 21 June and looks thoroughly capable of trotting his way in for a place cheque
Summary: JERICHO (10) took no time getting back in shape following the spring break and the nature of his recent Enghien run augurs well for his chances of imposing this time. JOSHUA PEJI (2), on the other hand, has won 2 on the trot under the saddle recently and despite having no Enghien references, still looks the principal threat. JAGUAR DU FAN (7) got back in the winners’ circle at Laval last month and comes here fresh and with justified aspirations. Well-entered at the limit of earnings, JUST BUILT (12) has been competitive at this level and can vie for a place in the frame.

His main threat could be CLOTILDA (7) who shaped well when fourth in a Class 1 hurdle at Auteuil last time on June 25th. She can make things interesting.

5. POLYNESIA – Newcomer by Saint Des Saints, from a respected trainer who will have this filly well prepared. Market support can be informative
6. LORENN DU CHENET – Credible effort on her debut when she was fourth over 3400m on June 18th at Clairefontaine.

Summary: ZAINE (1) was a decent second over 3400m at Clairefontaine on June 18th on the sole start. She can improve and score. LORENN DU CHENET (6) was just over three lengths behind in fourth in the same race and looks like the main danger here. RAFFLES HONOUR (9) made a good debut when third two starts ago at Dieppe in May and although slightly below par last time, she can not be overlooked.

Summary: MA LILI (9) made a pleasing start to the season when third at this track in a claiming chase last time on June 18th over 3900m. She will strip fitter today and can score. ZAPOROGUE (1) is a threat after a good third at this track over 3900m in a handicap chase on July 1st. GALANT DES BOULATS (7) is also one to consider if getting his jumping right on his return to fences. REGAXOS (4) is seeking a hat-trick of wins and can not be ruled out.

6. KOURANTDAIR SIVOLA – Three unplaced runs so far, he has shown some talent and back over hurdles after parting company with his jockey last time at Auteuil in a Class 2 chase he should be more involved

16. VOYAGE PRIVE – Fair 3rd last time over 3800m in a claiming hurdle at Vitre on June 2nd. One to consider each way
Summary: HIGH EXIT (4) could be the answer to this claiming hurdle. She was fifth last time at this track in a handicap hurdle over 3400m on July 1st and won a claiming hurdle at Auteuil in late May. Her main danger could be KATHLEEN (8) who made a pleasing effort when second at Dieppe last time over 3800m on June 29th in a claiming hurdle. ATTACK MASSIVE (1) is also worth considering in this after a decent effort last time when third at Dieppe last month. KIARA DU SEUIL (11) heads the remainder.

8. SHOLOKJACK – Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3900m in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil on June 25th. Others preferred
9. FOUDRE DELTA – Won three runs ago over 4400m in a Class 2 chase at Auteuil on May 18th. Has won over hurdles and can make presence felt

Summary: FLASH DE LA CHANIE (9) has a leading chance of getting a hat-trick of wins after a recent success over 3400m at Dieppe in a Class 4 hurdle on June 6th. His main danger could be DESERT STORM (12) who has faired well on both starts over hurdles. A recent second at Dieppe when narrowly beaten was a step in the right direction on June 29th. KARASTIC (2) can also play a lead role at the business end. EARL OF SHANNON (3) heads the rest.
