| C1 – PRIX DU CONSEIL REGIONAL DE NORMANDIE – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 29,000 |
1. JOS DU PILET – Unplaced here last month before faulting in a 3100m Class F at La Gacilly on Monday and has no possible chance
2. JOSELITO DU VIVIER – Won a 2525m Class F at Les Andelys on 30 June, his 2nd victory in 4 starts. Has secured 2 of 4 racing right-handed and, 3 times a winner for Yoann Lebourgeois, can double his money
3. JACK DU CEBE – Returns to the harness code after finishing last but one in a 2950m Saint-Malo monté Class F a week ago. Gabi Gelormini reining this time but others still easier to back
4. JUMANJI BLEU – Encouraged on first start of the year but has been off the boil since, latterly sanctioned in a 2850m Carentan Class F last weekend, and can be ruled out
5. JUSTAUCORPS – 9th of 10 when preparing for this in a 2850m Carentan Class F last weekend. Went close last time here and, barefoot for the occasion, can break into first 5
6. JACKSON DU CLOS – Sanctioned, when being conditioned, in a 2750m Ecommoy Class F on 7 July. Has 2 races in him by now, has references at the venue, and the new shoeing formula may prove just the ticket
7. JUDY MATIDY – Failed to confirm her Vichy success when sanctioned in a 2775m Craon Class D on 23 June. Reverts to the Vichy configuration, is proven here, but others still preferred
8. JOURNEE REVEE – Sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class D last weekend following a number of false starts. Is unbeaten at the venue and, with application, can defy the draw and finish close
9. JAZZ UP – 7th of 11, on comeback, in a 2825m Class E at Le Croisé-Laroche a month ago. Will have come on for the run and, racing unshod-all-4, looks a serious proposition. Chance
10. JEUNESSE ETERNELLE – Useful mare but somewhat disappointing 6th of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class F earlier in the month. Has previously won with front pads fitted and, even from the back row, is not to be overlooked
11. JOUEUSE DU MIREL – Unexceptional mare that faulted, at 164/1, in a 2850m Laval Class F on 3 July and can be confidently passed over
12. JASMIN DU VALLON – Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2800m Vichy Class C late last month. Is new to the venue but has shown decent aptitude racing clockwise and, if applied, can make a big splash
Summary: A fine servant when he can keep his action together, JOSELITO DU VIVIER (2) is the equine definition of ‘all or nothing’, posting 6 wins and 4 sanctions in his last 10 starts, and with application, should be able to wrap this up. JAZZ UP (9) has one race in him since the layoff, is barefoot for the first time and, even though incurring the penalty, still looks the principal danger. The nicely-engaged JACKSON DU CLOS (6) will be fit by now, sports a new configuration, and on good behaviour will be competitive, as should second-line starter JASMIN DU VALLON (12) who is never to be underestimated when applied.

| C2 – PRIX FANDANGO – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class A Race – Mounted – EUR € 57,000 |
1. FLOPY RUSH – Steps up in category after coming 3rd of 9 in a Class D over course and distance a week ago but, on this occasion, looks out of his depth
2. DIERLOV VOLO – No slouch on a good day and most recently 4th of 10 in a 2950m Vichy Class D a fortnight ago. Pitted against better this time however, and not an obvious choice
3. FALCO DES ROCHERS – A total write-off in all 9 starts this season, latterly 9th of 11 in a 2775m Class C at Les Sables d’Olonne 11 days ago, and can be disregarded
4. GEF DE PLAY – Springs the occasional surprise but lacklustre last of 7 behind IN LOVE DU CHOQUEL (7) in a 2850m Vincennes Class A mid-June, and will have too much to do on Cabourg debut
5. ESPOIR DU RAVARY – Honest mare but below-par 2nd-to-last, behind FANATIC FLASH (9), in a 2875m Enghien Gr.3 9 days ago. Races barefoot this time though, went close on lone start at the venue, and should acquit himself honourably
6. GALA D’URFIST – Very hard to knock when he can stay in stride. Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2875m Enghien Gr.3 2 weeks ago and, with application, should prove main threat to IN LOVE DU CHOQUEL (7)
7. IN LOVE DU CHOQUEL – Won 3 on the trot before being beaten only by a very good horse in a 2850m Vincennes Class A mid-June. Youngest horse in the field and unarguably the best prospect here
8. EQUINOXE JIEL – Has done nothing noteworthy for some time, latterly last of 13 in a 2875m Enghien harness Class B last Saturday. Benjamin Rochard drafted in for the occasion but still no more than a minor place prospect
9. FANATIC FLASH – 3rd of 11 in a 2875m Enghien Gr.3 9 days ago. Boasts excellent right-handed credentials, has won twice here, and must be afforded respect
10. FOUGUE DU DOLLAR – 8th behind FANATIC FLASH (9), on comeback, in a 2875m Enghien Gr.3 on 10 July. 2nd in this race last year and is unlikely to go home empty-handed
11. GALET STED – 3rd of 7 finishers in a 1640m Solvalla Gr.2 on 26 May. Has had time to recover, returns to racing barefoot, goes over any trip, and looks a solid first-3 chance
Summary: A veritable metronome with form at a superior level, IN LOVE DU CHOQUEL (7) may be less effective racing right-handed but in current condition will nevertheless take all the beating. He will be opposed by the good but temperamental GALA D’URFIST (6) who is shod to preference following his summer freshener at Enghien. Barefoot for the occasion, GALET STED (11) makes his first appearance since going close in a Solvalla Gr.2 late-May and has every chance of making the frame once more. In cracking form over the past 3 months, FANATIC FLASH (9) drops marginally in category after a decent Gr.3 performance and will be more competitive this time around.

| C3 – PX SWEET FM (PX OFFICE TOURISME CABOURG) – 2725m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 23,000 |
1. JUSTE PARFAITE – Blows hot and cold, latterly 8th of 11 finishers in a 2200m Caen Class E a month ago. Franck Nivard takes over at the helm and, although not a priority, can nevertheless get in on the action
2. JAMAICA D’OYSE – 5th of 9, behind JAINA D’ESSARTS (3), in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F last week. Has yet to deliver at Cabourg, is never easy to gauge, but will still have her supporters
3. JAINA D’ESSARTS – Seldom disappoints when she can stay in stride, most recently reassuring 2nd of 9 in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F a week ago, and a similar effort would see her go close again
4. JUNON DES ROSES – Got off the mark at Reims on 22 June before trotting 2nd of 9 finishers in a 2050m Class F here on 2 July. Nicely-positioned on front line and is not incapable of having her way
5. JOCONDE DES PRES – 6th of 9, behind JUNON DES ROSES (4), in a 2050m Class F here on 2 July. Seldom lets the side down when barefoot and must be respected
6. JELGA DU VIVIER – Lacks reliability, not ability. Quickly sanctioned in a 2050m Class F here earlier in the month but has a lot going for her this time and can return to winning ways
7. J’ADORE BLUE – Moderate mare that finished 9th of 14 in a 2400m Amiens Class E on 13 June. Starts wide and looks to be facing a stiff test
8. JOSELITTA CLAUDE – Lost her action in a 2500m Molières Class H on 7 July. Would have better prospects at a lower level and can be ruled out
9. JACINTHE DES BOIS – Makes first Cabourg appearance after coming 5th of 7 in a 3475m Class F at Agon-Coutainville last weekend, and is not about to influence the result
10. JINA FAST – Barring penultimate outing has been on a good run of form. Reassuring 3rd of 13 finishers in a 2725m Lisieux Class F a fortnight ago. Hind shoes off this time but the draw will do her no favours
11. JORDANIE GLAM – Has struggled so far this year to replicate last summer’s form, latterly 10th of 14 in a 2400m Amiens Class E mid-June, and is not about to break the mould
12. JOY DES DIMANCHE – A total write-off since placing at Argentan in January. Last of 10 in a 2800m Class F at Moulins-la-Marche late last month and races here on a prayer
13. JAVA DE RETZ – Has shown potential but off the boil this year, most recently unthreatening 7th of 12 in a 2750m Class F here 10 days ago, and can be passed over
14. JESABELLE DU JOUR – Won smartly over longer here 2 weeks ago before faulting in a 2900m Clairefontaine Class E last weekend. Benjamin Rochard takes over and, despite the tough draw, can set the record straight
Summary: Although never far from losing her action, JELGA DU VIVIER (6) is an excellent competitor when focused, and starting on the front row, with Yoann Lebourgeois in the sulky, can wrap this up. The complicated JESABELLE DU JOUR (14) won over 2750m here a fortnight ago, sports 4 pads for the first time and, with application, will put up considerable resistance. Similarly well-known to the stride-police, JAINA D’ESSARTS (3) reassured last week at Saint-Malo, is shod differently this time, and from the 3-spot can play a prominent role. JUNON DES ROSES (4) enjoys a decent spot behind the car, is plainly at the top of her game, returns to racing barefoot, and her recent Cabourg performance stands her in good stead.

| C4 – GRAND PRIX DE LA VILLE DE CABOURG – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class B Race – Harness – EUR € 49,000 |
1. FELICITA D’ECOUVES – Honest mare that has done little to disappoint lately, most recently 5th of 16 in a Class E over course and distance. Takes on some tougher horses this time but starts in front and is unlikely to be far from the action
2. FALCON D’OURVILLE – Looked very ordinary when last but one in a 1609m Vichy Class D 2 weeks ago and, barefoot or not, appears to have a mountain to climb
3. INSTINCT D’AM – Showed improvement when 5th of 16 in a 2450m Caen Class D on 10 June. Should logically give another good account and is not incapable of picking up a minor place cheque
4. FOLLOW ME FLASH – Has 3 runs under his belt since the spell, most recently 10th of 16 in a 2150m Enghien Class C 9 days ago. Shod as he was when winning at Vincennes but still not an obvious choice
5. FEE DU VERNAY – Good 4th of 12 in a competitive Class B over 2625m at La Rochelle last weekend. Has placed just once in 4 here but has been in excellent shape this term and can play a leading role
6. INFANT PERRINE – 8th of 14 in a 2850m Vincennes Class B early last month, but has otherwise been in fine form. Has had time to get his house in order and will be expected to make amends. Place prospect
7. ROCKY TILLY – 8th of 12 finishers in a 2150m Enghien Class C on 29 June and even racing barefoot will have too much to do
8. FILOU DE CHARDET – Out of the picture in all 5 starts this year, latterly sanctioned when unsupported in a 2150m Enghien Class C late-June, and is not about to spring a surprise
9. FOREVER JIEL – Form has regressed since placing at Strasbourg 2 months ago, most recently last of 12 after faulting in a 2150m Enghien Class C 3 weeks ago. Benjamin Rochard reining this time and should not be written off
10. EXTRA DU CHATELET – 4th of 10 in a 1609m Vichy Class D a fortnight ago. Struggled for much of the year but is plainly back at his best, sports modified shoeing and can give this a good go
11. FALCO DU DOUET – Has ample ability but disappointing recently, latterly sanctioned in a 2650m Bordeaux Gr.3 a month ago. Comes here fresh but is unlikely to shake things up
12. HAVE SEVEN – Lost his action in a 2875m Enghien Class C on 3 July. Has a mixed bag of results racing clockwise but can win this if he replicates his Bordeaux performance
13. FLY SPEED – Has not been seen out since coming 8th of 9 in a 3000m Salon-de-Provence Gr.3 late-November. Barefoot for re-entry but others still preferred
14. ENZO D’ESSARTS – Was not disgraced at Enghien before coming 4th of 11 in a 3550m Niort Class A on 23 June. Unseen at Cabourg since 2020 but still looks competitive for a place in the frame
15. GITANO – Wonderful campaigner with nothing to prove at this level, latterly 6th of 15 in a 2850m Laval Gr.3 1.5 months ago, but stays shod for the occasion and best to keep one’s powder dry
Summary: Well-entered on the front row here, HAVE SEVEN (12) showed his form in a Bordeaux Gr.3 a month back before faulting at Enghien, but with application, under these conditions, can make this his own. Yoann Lebourgeois will still be wary of the good dual-discipline FEE DU VERNAY (5) who sports front pads this time, and INFANT PERRINE (6) who is considerably better than his latest performance would suggest. ENZO D’ESSARTS (14) starts 25m further back but is enjoying a decent run of form and is not going to be far off the mark.

1. INCA – 9th of 11 finishers, on comeback, in a 2700m Vire Class E on 1 July. Should be race-ready by now and, shod to preference, is unlikely to disappoint
2. ICEMAN DU KLAU – 5th of 14 in a 2800m Chartres Class F a month back. Returns to racing right-handed and, from the 2-spot, can bring home the bacon
3. INTOUCHABLE AR – Disappointing in all 3 starts this term, most recently finishing 8th of 11 in a 3450m Agon-Coutainville amateurs Class H last weekend and, despite the good draw and pads fitted, can be comfortably ruled out
4. ISA DU PRESSOIR – Failed to confirm her Bourigny victory when sanctioned in a 2800m Class F at Moulins-la-Marche 12 days ago, but form is not in doubt and, with application, can go far
5. IL MAGNIFICO – Sanctioned at Chartres before coming a reassuringly good 3rd of 10 in a 2875m Enghien amateurs Class F 3 weeks ago. Is plainly close to his race and is sufficiently well-placed to challenge for the win
6. INDES GALANTES – Returns to the harness code after faulting in a 2200m Clairefontaine Class H last Sunday. Is capable on a good day but still not an obvious choice
7. IRUN DU BOCAGE – 6th of 14 in a 2625m Class F at Saint-Jean-de-Monts on 30 June. May not be the most reliable but has right-handed form to back him up and, in spite of a wide draw, can still get a look-in
8. INCANTATOR – Pleasant 5th of 10 in a 2400m Amiens Class F on 22 June. Starts on back line here, with just front shoes off, and will struggle to make his mark
9. IDEAL DE NGANDA – 6th of 11 finishers in a 2900m Arras Class F late-June. Is seldom far off the mark when barefoot and in current form can challenge for a place in the frame
10. ITALIENNE IDEF – Unexceptional mare that finished 12th behind IRUN DU BOCAGE (7) in a 2625m Class F at Saint-Jean-de-Monts late last month and already looks outclassed
11. IMPERIALE NORMANDE – 5th, a place behind INDES GALANTES (6), in a 2600m Genêts Class F on 7 July. Out of the picture in both Cabourg runs and even with modified shoeing, appears to have no realistic chance
Summary: Winner at Amiens last time racing clockwise, ICEMAN DU KLAU (2) has since produced a brace of decent left-handed performances and, sporting a fresh configuration, looks thoroughly capable of making his Cabourg debut a winning one. Loris Bizoux will still want to be wary of the decently-positioned IL MAGNIFICO (5) who reassured at Enghien 3 weeks ago, and ISA DU PRESSOIR (4) whose recent sanction can be disregarded. IDEAL DE NGANDA (9) consistently gives his best and, although yet to deliver at Cabourg and placed on the 2nd row, nevertheless looks competitive for a spot on the podium.

1. KARROUMYS – Has yet to earn a € in 4 career starts. Sanctioned in a 3200m Fougères Class F early-May and is not about to shake things up
2. KALIMERO DE RIO – Sanctioned more often than not, most recently in a 2300m Class F at La Gacilly on Monday, and backs up with limited prospects
3. KRUSTY – Won first 2 before trotting 5th of 7 in a 2600m Nancy Class F mid-April. Is fresh, unshod-all-4, entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois, and looks a serious proposition
4. KINDER DANOVER – Lost his action when never threatening in a 2400m Amiens Class F last week and is unlikely to influence the outcome
5. KELAS DU CEBE – Put 3 sanctions behind him when 2nd of 8 in a 2475m Niort Class F on 23 June. Benjamin Rochard reining this time but still no more than a minor place prospect
6. KINGWOOD DE GUELLE – 12th of 14 in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel late last month. Front shoes off this time but others still preferred
7. KRYSTAL DES FANES – Started to come good during the spring and most recently ran 5th of 8 in a 2825m Vire Class E on 1 July. Will not be far off the mark if he takes to the Cabourg profile
8. KITO DU BOUILLON – 5th of 9 in a 2950m Vichy Class E earlier in the month. Well-beaten on sole appearance here and will not be losing his maiden status any time soon
9. KAVALO BELLO – 6th of 10, on first start for new trainer, in a 2800m Bernay Class F 12 days ago. Is reunited with his driver of preference and can impose
10. KENYA D’HERFRAIE – Rather disappointing in last 2, latterly 8th of 11 in a 2725m Cabourg Class E 10 days ago. Has merit though and racing first time barefoot, will be worth monitoring
11. KOEUR DE VANILLE – Tricky but talented sort that finished 2nd in a 2750m Class D at La Capelle a month ago, only to be disqualified. Shoes back on and, even from the back row, can make his presence felt
12. KING BLACK DANOVER – 3rd over 2050m here before trotting 4th of 8 in a Class E over track and trip 10 days ago but, in this company, is unlikely to cause an upset
13. KARAMEL DES BOSC – Has ample ability but never far from faulting. Sanctioned in last 3, latterly a monté Class D over course and distance on Tuesday, and has no realistic chance
14. KING GEORGES ELLIS – 5th behind KILLER DES CHAMPS (15) in a 2875m Enghien Class E on 10 July. Seldom puts a foot wrong racing right-handed though, goes barefoot this time, and is competitively well-in
15. KILLER DES CHAMPS – Consistently in the thick of things over recent months, latterly 3rd of 9 in a 2875m Enghien Class E 9 days ago. Is not far off opening his 2024 account and must be afforded respect
16. KEEP TIME – 5th, a place behind KING BLACK DANOVER (12), on re-entry in a Class E over course and distance 10 days ago. Will have progressed and going barefoot this time, looks a decent place chance
Summary: A number in the running here but preference nonetheless goes to front-line starter KAVALO BELLO (9) who thrives with François Lagadeuc. Winner of 2 from 3, KRUSTY (3) makes his first appearance since April but races first time barefoot, has been entrusted to a leading driver, and has a reasonable chance of taking his win-rate to 75%. Forced to start on the back row, KILLER DES CHAMPS (15) has been knocking at the door for some time and deserves to be rewarded with success one of these days. KEEP TIME (16) will have come on for his return run, has decent clockwise references, and racing barefoot will do his prospects no disservice.

1. LEWIS DE GINAI – Faulted twice at Caen before coming good 2nd of 8 in a 2050m Class E here a fortnight ago. Has the inside line and must be taken seriously
2. LORDIUS – Put 2 moderate runs behind him when securing a 2550m Reims Class E mid-June. Front pads fitted for the first time and while unlikely to repeat, can still get in on the action
3. LE BOLIDE – In the frame in 2 last month before running a lacklustre 6th of 9 in a Class D over course and distance on 2 July, and even from the 3-spot will have his work cut out
4. LOOK DE LARRE – One-paced 5th behind LEWIS DE GINAI (1) in a 2050m Class E here 2 weeks ago but still has more to find
5. LANDSMAN – Blotted his copybook just once in 5 starts, latterly 3rd of 12 in a 2200m Caen Class D on 24 June and, from the 5-spot, will have his chances
6. LE CAPORAL – Turned a corner after starting to race left-handed, most recently 3rd of 8 in a 2150m Enghien Class E 9 days ago. Trainer taking a punt on sending him clockwise this time but the new configuration may make all the difference
7. LULU DES CARREAUX – Got off the mark at Bernay before quickly faulting in a Class D over course and distance earlier this month. Sports front pads this time and François Lagadeuc will be out to set the record straight
8. LABRAX DU SKY – Impressive winner of a 2500m Questembert Class G on debut late last month. Takes on a better bunch here but can still play a prominent role, even breaking from the back row
9. LIBRE PENSEUR MEEK – Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2900m Clairefontaine Class D last Sunday. Has previously imposed here and, despite starting on the back line, still looks a player
10. LIKE POWER – Not without merit but is as capricious as they come. Sanctioned in a 2650m Class D at Les Sables-d’Olonne last Saturday and others easier to trust
11. LIOR DE SASSY – Yet to show any particular bent for the game, most recently trotting 7th behind LANDSMAN (5) in a 2200m Caen Class D on 24 June, and has no possible chance
12. L’AS DE COEUR – Lost his maiden status at Caen last month before faulting in a 2150m Enghien Class E 9 days ago, and can expect to have few takers
Summary: There is a number of promising individuals in this competitive field, notably LE CAPORAL (6) who has begun to find his way after a tricky start to his career. Fitted with 4 pads for the first time, he returns to racing right-handed and looks marginally better than the (mostly) dependable LANDSMAN (5) who has solid references going clockwise, and LABRAX DU SKY (8) who got off the mark late-June at the first time of asking. Dependability may not be his strong suit but LIBRE PENSEUR MEEK (9) is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois who won with her here last autumn and, fitted with hind pads this time, will be competitive if focused.

1. LADY DU CHATELET – Qualified under harness in 1’18″5 at Caen last October. Entrusted to François Lagadeuc for debut and will be assured every chance
2. LADY LAMOTTE – Untried filly that qualified without fanfare under harness at Caen last October. Hails from a good yard, with Adrien Lamy in the irons, and should not be written off
3. LUBIE DE CELINIERE – Made it 2 straight sanctions when faulting in a 2150m Durtal harness Class G on 16 June. Takes first competitive steps under the saddle, with 4 pads fitted, but still not easy to like
4. LEA JOSSELYN – 5th of 6 on debut early-June in a 2825m Class F at Sablé-sur-Sarthe, and has a lot more to find
5. LICORNE DE LA JOIE – Sanctioned in first 4 before trotting 4th, a place behind LA FLECHE (12), in a 2450m Caen Class F on 24 June. Not a priority but will certainly not be available at 60/1 on this occasion
6. LEA MADJI – Flattering 4th here early-June before coming last but one in a 2375m Dozulé Class G a fortnight later. Sports 4 pads this time but others still preferred
7. LIZON DES BORDES – Showed a different side to herself when respectable 3rd of 8 in a 2000m monté Class E at la Capelle earlier this month. Debuts at Cabourg with morale restored and is not to be underestimated
8. LASTOJAINE – Takes first steps in the discipline after placing just once from 6 under harness, latterly 7th of 9 in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F a week ago, and appears to have nothing to contribute
9. LOLITA DE MIELOUI – Respectable in both harness starts so far, most recently 5th of 9 in a 2900m Amiens Class F on 13 June. Makes first appearance in the ridden code but chances still limited
10. L’ODYSSEE MESLOISE – Lacklustre 8th of 9 in a 2700m Segré Class G mid-June after having shown potential, but still looks to have her work cut out
11. LUEUR DU CHATELET – 5th behind LA FLECHE (12) in a 2450m Caen Class F late last month. Is no star but with some luck in running could get a look-in
12. LA FLECHE – Reinvigorated lately, trotting 3rd under harness before repeating in a 2450m Caen Class F on 24 June, and with form maintained, could well play a leading role
13. LICORNE QUICK – Debuted well under harness at Graignes 3 weeks ago before trotting 4th of 9 in a 2800m Bernay harness Class F 12 days ago and, if form transitions, can get off the mark
14. LEONIE DE L’ECLAIR – Beaten only by a very good horse in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 13 June. Is proven right-handed and can get that maiden monkey off her back this time
15. LUCIA DI JENILAT – Sanctioned more often than not, latterly a 2450m Caen harness Class D a month ago. Debuts under the saddle and can play a leading role if Alan Gendrot keeps her trotting
16. LADY LUNA PARK – Sprang a pleasant surprise when 2nd of 8 in a 2525m Class E at Les Andelys late last month but a repeat seems improbable
Summary: Improving with every run, LEONIE DE L’ECLAIR (14) left a very good impression at Graignes mid-June and, with form maintained, can open her career account. That said, the marginally less-experienced LICORNE QUICK (13) has shown enough under harness to be considered a player on her monté debut. LUCIA DI JENILAT (15) is similar in profile, although more complicated, and will be no pushover if applied. LA FLECHE (12) has evident ability and her recent Caen performance bodes well for her chances.

He can edge this from TALLINSKI (4) who ran unplaced last time but was second before that over 1100m at Dieppe in a Class 3 handicap on June 14th. He can make an impact.

2. CALIFANO – A decent third-placed run last time over 1200m in a Class 3 race. Ought to be thereabouts
3. VICTORY SALUTE – Has four unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 1200m in a Class 2 race on February 13th. Others rate higher
4. ISMAEL PAINT – Nice 3rd last time in a Class 2 handicap at Deauville on July 7th over 1200m. Has a leading chance of scoring
5. EXCALIBUR – Won last time over 1100m in a Class 4 handicap on June 25th at Salon Provence. In the mix
6. TIME SIGNATURE – 3rd on the last two runs, the latter over 1200m in a handicap at Chantilly on July 2nd. One to keep safe
7. CERVARO – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1350m in a Class 3 handicap on June 15th. Hardly inspiring
8. REVANCHE – Won last time over 1100m at La Teste in a handicap on June 27th. Has outside place claims
9. TILL WE DIE – 2nd last time, won before that over 1100m in a Class 4 handicap was on May 25th. Ought to be on the premises
10. DROIT DE PAROLE – 3rd two runs back over 1200m at Chantilly in a Class 3 race on June 2nd. Needs a few to falter
11. IDEE DE CHEVAL – 2nd last time over 1300m in a handicap at Deauville on October 18th. Might need this race for fitness
12. AMAZON PRINCE – Has shown no form for some time, the latest poor run was over 1200m on July 7th in a Class 3 race. Opposable
13. LE CENTRAL – Five unplaced runs this year, the most recent over 1400m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on July 2nd. Unlikely to figure
14. KOUTSOUNAKOS – Has six unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1300m in a Class 3 race at Le Touquet on July 1st. Pass over
15. HY DREAM – Has been in the frame on the last six runs, 2nd last time over 1200m in a Class 3 handicap on June 26th. Player
Summary: ISMAEL PAINT (4) was a pleasing third in a Class 2 handicap at Deauville earlier this month. He is overdue for another success. MARY GOLD (1) can make her rivals work hard, she won on her penultimate start over 1100m in a Class 2 race in early March and rarely runs out of the frame. CALIFANO (2) looks like the best option each-way after a decent third-placed run last time over 1200m in a Class 3 event. EXCALIBUR (5) makes up the shortlist.
