| C1 – PRIX DES FUSCHIAS – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 29,000 |
1. IDEAL DE L’OUEST – Sanctioned, on return to competition, in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables d’Olonne 9 days ago, following a 2 years’ hiatus, and will need another run
2. ISLA – Disappointing on the whole for some time, most recently sanctioned in a 2875m Argentan Class E mid-month, but seems to be biting off more than he can chew
3. IRMINIO KILY – 2nd of 14 in a 2725m Class F here 2 weeks ago. Is regularly object of the stewards’ scrutiny but will not be far off the mark if Franck Nivard can keep him trotting
4. IGGY PERRINE – Blows hot and cold but reassuring 4th of 12 in a 2650m Class F at Les Sables d’Olonne on 10 July. François Lagadeuc at the helm and will be worth watching
5. IMAKO VERDERIE – Pleased at Craon a month back but has twice failed to confirm, latterly 8th of 9 in Argentan race of reference, and can be ruled out
6. HORACE DU VIVIER – Complicated type that made it 2 straight sanctions when faulting in a 2475m Francheville Class F 12 days ago. Flopped on lone appearance here and is unlikely to shake things up
7. HIBISCUS NORMAND – 8th of 10 finishers in a 2475m Francheville Class F on 14 July and in present condition has no realistic chance
8. IF BLEU – Made it 2 straight sanctions when faulting in a 2800m Vichy Class E early last month. Has bags of ability though and will be no easy touch if he stays in stride
9. HIJO MOKO – In flying form for last 2.5 months, most recently 3rd of 14 in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class G a fortnight ago. Hind shoes off this time and with form maintained, and stride in check, will not be going home empty-handed
10. IL MAGNIFICO – Raced significantly better than his 8th of 9 in a 2725m Cabourg Class F last week would suggest. Has previously won for Yoann Lebourgeois who will be out to set the record straight
11. IDAO NAY – Secured a 3rd success of the season when winning a 2700m Class H at Le Dorat on 14 July. Entrusted to David Thomain for the occasion and is not without his chances
12. IGRISONI – Fine trotter that was rewarded with victory in a 2850m Carentan Class D a fortnight ago. Shoes on this time, and even though incurring the handicap, still looks a player
13. INVICTUS MADRIK – Races with just front pads fitted for the first time after coming 3rd of 13, at 115/1, in a 2875m Argentan Class D mid-month. Not a priority but still worth keeping an eye on
14. IRENO DES PLAINES – Ran out a convincing winner of a 2875m Argentan harness Class E on 15 July. Gives 25m to his main rivals but nevertheless has the class to double up
Summary: IRENO DES PLAINES (14) left a very good impression at Argentan mid-month after having trotted 4th here and, in similar form, can confirm. That said, IDAO NAY (11) has been superb over the past 3 months and legitimately bids to win his 4th of the season. IL MAGNIFICO (10) was not the luckiest last time out, but form is not in question, and he gets a Yoann Lebourgeois drive for the occasion. More than capable on a good day, IF BLEU (8)should be nearing his best and will be competitive for a place payday if he stays trotting.

| C2 – PRIX HENRI BALLIERE – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 33,000 |
1. HELIOS DE VANDEL – Pleased here on 9 July before coming in a below-par 7th of 10 in a 2875m Class E at Meslay-du-Maine last weekend, and others preferred
2. FIEF – 10th of 13 in an amateurs Class G over course and distance last Tuesday. Competitively-shod this time but other more attractive options available
3. HEBE DU PETIT ODON – 2nd under these conditions 3 weeks ago before faulting when being prepared for this in a 2600m Class E at Saint-Pierre-la-Cour 9 days later. Barefoot for the occasion and must be considered a contender
4. HAMOUR TEJY – Honest sort that finished 3rd, a place behind IPSO D’AVIGNERE (8), in a 2400m Amiens amateurs Class G 2 weeks ago. Is 25m better off this time but still represents no more than a minor place chance
5. GOLDEN DES TOUCHES – Unexceptional 5th of 7 in a 3175m Saint-Omer Class F last Sunday. Fitted with 4 pads this time, with Benjamin Rochard reining, but chances still limited
6. HARRYBEAU DE COUET – 8th of 14, when being conditioned, in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables d’Olonne earlier in the month. Has placed just twice in 5 here, but is barefoot this time and will be worth monitoring
7. HERNANDO BELLO – Has hardly put a foot wrong when barefoot this term, latterly 3rd of 8 finishers in a 2600m Class E at Saint-Pierre-la-Cour 12 days ago, and while not a priority, can still figure prominently at the business end of the race
8. IPSO D’AVIGNERE – 2nd of 11 in a 2400m Amiens amateurs Class G, when being conditioned, a fortnight ago. Shod to preference this time and, from the front line, looks the one to beat
9. FARCEUSE DU PRE – Surprise 4th, a place behind HERNANDO BELLO (7), in a 2600m Class E at Saint-Pierre-la-Cour 12 days ago, but a repeat seems improbable
10. ISIS D’HERFRAIE – Sanctioned in a 2850m Laval Class D late last month, but has otherwise been in fine shape. Won her only start here, and even from the 2nd row, can maintain her perfect Cabourg status
11. GLORIOSO BELLO – Ran 3rd in a Vichy claimer 3 weeks ago before finishing 7th of 8 in Saint-Pierre-la-Cour race of reference, and can be ruled out
12. ISEULT FLOWER – 4th of 12 in a 2800m Bernay Class A earlier this month. Already 3 times a winner this season and even with an extra 25m to travel, is not going to be far off the mark
13. HUNE LOVE – 10th of 12 finishers, behind ISEULT FLOWER (12), in a 2800m Bernay Class A on 7 July. Has won 2 of 4 at Cabourg though and must not be written off
14. HOBAMA – Quality element that finished last of 13, when being conditioned, in a 3450m Agon-Coutainville Class E on 8 July. Shoes on again, and no threat
15. IDOLE OF LOVE – Sanctioned in a 2475m Royan Class E last weekend. Has come somewhat off the boil over recent weeks, but has a lot going for her and, on good behaviour, can play an important role
Summary: IPSO D’AVIGNERE (8) took little time getting back in shape following the break; he has shown a liking for the venue, races with front shoes off, and considering the entry, may just have the edge over the excellent ISIS D’HERFRAIE (10) who is forced to start 25m back. HEBE DU PETIT ODON (3) was most impressive here earlier in the month and will have her chances. Well-engaged at the limit of earnings and sporting modified shoeing, IDOLE OF LOVE (15) will not be far off the mark if Louis Baudouin manages to keep her trotting.

1. KIMAKO VERDERIE – 4th of 14 in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel a month ago. Steps up in category though and chances limited
2. KELAS – Just recently returned to competition, finishing last but one in a 2900m Clairefontaine Class E mid-month, and looks to be one race shy
3. KILOU – Capable on a good day but disappointing lately, most recently sanctioned in a 2200m Caen Class E earlier this month, and others easier to support
4. KALOU D’IROISE – Races shod again after faulting in a 2050m Class E here on 16 July, and has no realistic chance
5. KYLEBEAU DU LUOT – Returns to Cabourg on a hat-trick, having easily secured the double in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel last week. Unlikely to pull it off but can still hold his own
6. KERLAZ D’AVE – 2nd in a 2050m Class E here, at 156/1, on 16 July. Front shoes off this time but is unlikely to repeat
7. KIRWAN THORIS – Pleasantly surprising 2nd of 13 in a 2150m Argentan Class E here mid-month but confirmation will be tough
8. KRONOS ZEN – Won at Vire early-June before being sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class E on 10 July. Returns to racing right-handed though and is a serious proposition
9. KOQUIN DU PERCHE – A different horse since starting to race barefoot, latterly an unlucky 4th behind KERLAZ D’AVE (6) in a 2050m Cabourg Class E 10 days ago, but can make amends if his driver keeps him out of trouble
10. KENTUCKY PIYA – Last but one, on comeback, in a 2725m Cabourg Class E on 9 July. Has merit but still needs another race
11. KALADO DE HOUELLE – Runner-up 3 times last month but sanctioned in next 2, latterly a 2900m Clairefontaine Class E on 14 July. With application, will not be far from the action, but others easier to trust
12. KORIGANO – Went from claiming winner to 3nd of 9 in a 2050m Class E here 10 days ago. Takes on better this time but can still challenge for a spot in first 5
13. KASH DES RIOULTS – Pleasant 6th of 11 finishers in a 2725m Class E here on 9 July. Goes unshod for the first time and, if fully-fit, can impose
14. KING DE LARRE – Gave a very good account to finish 3rd of 11 in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle earlier this month. Sports a fresh formula, is in his category, and will be competitive for a place on the podium
15. KING BABEL – Sanctioned, when clearly in fine shape, in a Class F under these conditions on 9 July. Shod similarly this time, he will have a lot to contribute if François Lagadeuc keeps him focused
Summary: KASH DES RIOULTS (13) showed considerable aptitude last season and, competitively-shod with two races under his belt this term, can open his 2024 account. Yoann Lebourgeois will, unsurprisingly, be wary of the tricky but talented KRONOS ZEN (8) who will be a serious player if David Thomain keeps him trotting, and the freshly-configured KING DE LARRE (14) who has been knocking at the door recently. KING BABEL (15) left a decent impression here earlier this month despite losing his action, and is unlikely to disappoint if focused.

1. JOKER DU MATCH – Has not put a foot out of place for 2.5 months, most recently very close 3rd of 11 in a Class E over course and distance a fortnight ago. In better company this time but can still give this a good go. First 5
2. JOHNY DU VIVIER – Unlucky to be sanctioned in a 2625m Class E at Agen-Le Passage on 22 June. Is otherwise a model of consistency and Yoann Lebourgeois will be expected to put things right. Chance.
3. JEANBAT DANOVER – 7th here earlier in the month before trotting 2nd of 9 in a 3100m Class F at La Gacilly a week later. Front shoes off but still not an obvious choice
4. JUSTIN DES MARAIS – Never far from faulting but has won 2 of last 4. Last of 10 in a 2875m Enghien Class E 9 days ago and although better than that, others are easier to trust
5. JERZINO VICI – Not as sharp as he was earlier in the year, most recently faulting in a 2675m Class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel last week, and must get his house in order
6. JOKER GEMA – Took no time getting back in the game following the break, latterly 2nd of 14 in a 2950m Vichy Class E early-July, and already a winner here, returns to racing barefoot with a good hand to play
7. JOCKEY – Has bags of ability but sanctioned in both return runs, latterly a 2850m Laval Class D a month ago. Remains shod and can be ruled out
8. JUNIOR DU CHERISAY – 9th of 11 in a 2200m Le Mans Class D on 16 July. Disappointing this year and will have few friends
9. JOYEUX NONNA – 4th of 11 in a 2875m Enghien Class D late last month. Tends to go well with front pads fitted but is not about to cause an upset
10. JEWEL TOUCH – Good 3rd of 14 in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle on 9 July. Serious sort with an excellent record racing clockwise, and can make his Cabourg debut a winning one
11. JONAGOLD – 6th of 11 finishers in a 2200m Le Mans Class D on 16 July. Has never disappointed at Cabourg but is likely to find this a stiff test
12. JETPACK – Pleasant 5th of 10 in a 3025m Luçon Class E on 7 July. Races barefoot for the first time this year and will be expected to finish in first 3
13. JOTUNN DU DOME – Seldom far off the mark when applied, latterly 5th behind JOYEUX NONNA (9) in a 2875m Enghien Class D late last month. Will be at peak fitness by now and is unlikely to disappoint
14. JASMIN PHIL – Seldom gets his nose in front these days but regularly gives his best when focused. Faulted in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 10 July but on better behaviour can make it a minor place payday
15. INSTINCT D’AUTHISE – Was on a decent run of form before flopping to 7th of 13 in a Class E over course and distance early-June. Shod for return though and best to wait
Summary: JEWEL TOUCH (10) has done nothing but improve since his spring break and, if still on the same trajectory, may just prove a marginally better bet than the excellent, and freshly-configured, JOHNY DU VIVIER (2) who won his only start at the venue. Nicely-entered and still fairly fresh, JOTUNN DU DOME (13) put on a good show at Enghien late last month and, with application, can make the frame this time. Quality Swedish import, JETPACK (12) showed improvement at Luçon earlier in the month and, barefoot with Franck Nivard reining, will be afforded every chance.

1. JAYA STARDUST – Lived up to expectations when 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2900m Clairefontaine Class H last weekend. Hind pads fitted this time though and others preferred
2. JAMAIQUE DE MADKER – Races first time barefoot after trotting 3rd of 10 in a 2725m Pornichet Class F a week ago and, if still on the boil, could pleasantly surprise
3. JOIE DE CORTEM – Unremarkable mare that could manage no better than 8th of 12 in a 2825m Durtal Class F 12 days ago, and will have few takers
4. JUDICIEUSE ZAILER – 8th of 12, when being prepared for this, in a 2475m Royan Class G mid-month. Goes barefoot this time but, in this company, will have too much to do
5. JOYCE PILE – In the frame in 2 of last 3, most recently 2nd to JEEP DE DALINE (13) in a Class F over track and trip 2.5 weeks ago, and Gérald Blandin will be eager to turn the tables
6. JOLYA DE POMMERAYE – 5th of 13 in a 2825m Durtal Class F mid-month. Has shown marked improvement since starting to race barefoot and will have her supporters
7. JANET DE MEMARTIN – Sanctioned, when well-backed, in a 2200m Clairefontaine monté Class F last Sunday. Is not without ability but in this category will have her work cut out
8. JASMINE DU BOCAGE – Pleased at Amiens before faulting in a 2600m Genêts Class F last weekend. Starts in front but stays shod, and others easier to back
9. JARA DES ERABLAIS – Returns to racing clockwise after missing out by little in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d’Olonne recently. Benefits from a superb entry on the front row and Christopher Corbineau is unlikely to let the opportunity pass him by
10. JOFESCA BUISSONAY – Put a string of poor performances behind her when 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2050m Class F here on 2 July. On the back line but, if focused, can get in on the action
11. JERIKA DE KERYANN – 6th of 9 in a 2150m Argentan Class E mid-month. Is being conditioned for a monté campaign and can be passed over
12. JAVADA DU MONT – 5th, a place behind JOLYA DE POMMERAYE (6), in a 2675m Class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel a month ago. Shoes back on though and best to hold off
13. JEEP DE DALINE – Dominated JOYCE PILE (5) to win a Class F over course and distance earlier this month. Has been bested just once here and, even from the 2nd row again, can repeat
14. JUST AN ARTIST – Respectable 7th of 12 in a Class E over course and distance a fortnight ago. Has form here but is on the back line this time and not an obvious choice
15. JUNE D’ERABLE – Serious mare that finished last but one, on re-entry, in a 2900m Clairefontaine Class E on 14 July. Stays shod and best to keep one’s powder dry
16. JOCELYNE – Unraced since faulting in a 2700m Vincennes Class D in early-April. Enjoys an excellent entry, is in ‘competition-mode’, and given her love for Cabourg, is not to be underestimated
Summary: Four times a winner in five starts at Cabourg, JEEP DE DALINE (13) beat the improving and better-placed JOYCE PILE (5) under these conditions on 9 July and once again appears to have the advantage. JARA DES ERABLAIS (9) got back in the game at Les Sables 9 days ago and in this configuration, will be no pushover. Although unseen for almost 4 months, JOCELYNE (16) has shown a significant liking for Cabourg and can get straight back down to business.

1. ILARIA DE CORTEM – Switches back to the monté discipline after trotting 11th of 13 in an amateurs harness Class G over course and distance on Tuesday, and already looks out of her depth
2. HAVANE ORANGE – Quality element making first appearance since finishing 9th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D early-February. Shoes off for the occasion and will have a lot to contribute if she takes to the new profile
3. HELEGANE JASMA – Sprang a 67/1 surprise with a 2725m Pornichet Class F romp a fortnight ago, and with form maintained, will be expected to give HAGUE GEMA (8) a run for her money
4. HAZOE DES GLENAN – Back under the saddle after trotting 10th of 14 in a 2775m harness Class F at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 10 July. Reverts to a previous formula, adores Cabourg and, with application, could pleasantly surprise
5. ILOVIROIZ DI LEONE – Lost her action in a 3125m Monpazier Class H earlier in the month, on first ridden start since the break. Has never delivered at Cabourg but is proven at a superior level and is unlikely to let the side down. Place chance
6. HIROISE DU PARJAT – Sanctioned in a 2750m Class H at La Ferté-Vidame last weekend. Has done nothing noteworthy in either code this year but given the dearth of runners, she could yet make first 5
7. HUITRE D’OR – Returns to the monté code [in which she has yet to shine] after a poor streak under harness, latterly faulting in a 2150m Argentan Class E mid-month, and even with 4 pads fitted, is not about to influence the outcome
8. HAGUE GEMA – Won a Class F over course and distance, in good order, 10 days ago. Unbeaten in 2 when barefoot here and looks set to confirm
Summary: On paper, this looks a 2-horse race between HAGUE GEMA (8) who imposed with great tenacity over course and distance 10 days ago, and the freshly reconfigured HELEGANE JASMA (3) who herself returned to the winners’ enclosure at Pornichet a fortnight ago. HAVANE ORANGE (2) has never won right-handed but is barefoot for her return to the track and, if fully-fit, will have an important role to play.

1. LILIAN DU PARADIS – Makes first appearance since faulting in a 2875m Argentan Class D 2 months ago. Has merit though and debuts for his new trainer with legitimate ambition
2. LEMON FLEURY – Made it 2 in a row when dominating a 2875m Argentan Class E mid-month. Is unbeaten with Yoann Lebourgeois who will be out to preserve their unbeaten status. Claim
3. LUXE D’ERABLE – Runner-up at Argentan late-May before coming 3rd of 11 in a 2725m Class D here on 2 July. Is plainly on the way up and can finish in the mix if he keeps his action together
4. LOUPIAC DE GODREL – Sanctioned in a Class C over course and distance 2 weeks ago, making it 3 on the trot. Is not devoid of ability but has better prospects at a lower level
5. LUBIN SECRET – 10th of 13 finishers, on return from a spell, in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago. Is no slouch when fit but appears to need another run
6. LAST KINGDOM – Has not been seen out since coming 3rd of 5 in a 2700m Vincennes monté Class C in early-April. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be passed over
7. LOUIS QUATORZE – Scored 2nd victory in 4 starts, latterly with authority, in a 2300m Chartres Class E early-June. Takes on better this time but is an improving type that looks a decent place prospect here
8. LOULOU DES OUBEAUX – Respectable 2nd of 8 finishers in a 2150m Enghien Class E on 10 July. Has a decent turn of foot, has previously won right-handed, and must be considered a solid first-5 prospect
9. LANCELOT PLATANES – Races clockwise for first time after coming last of 8 in a 2750m Class D at La Capelle earlier in the month. Not a contender but can still get a look-in
10. LABORANTIN – Lacklustre last of 7 in a 2150m Enghien Class B mid-June. Has had time to freshen up, boasts solid form racing clockwise, but is possibly being aimed too high this time around
11. LOVING STAR – Solid as a rock since his first steps on the track, most recently 2nd of 7 in a 2200m Vincennes Class D on 11 June. Goes right-handed this time and has a realistic chance off bringing home the bacon
Summary: LEMON FLEURY (2) has started to make good on his potential since being fitted with pads and is thoroughly capable of pulling off the 3-timer. He will still meet opposition from the well-engaged LOVING STAR (11) who has been knocking at the door since his March debut, and LOUIS QUATORZE (7) who reassured with victory at Chartres early last month. LUXE D’ERABLE (3) appears to have found his way and can again vie for a spot on the podium.

1. LILI GUILLERVILLE – Qualified unexceptionally under harness at Caen last October. Will have come on in the meantime, receives a Paul Ploquin ride for her debut, but still no more than a minor place prospect
2. LADY MILLION ANAJO – Qualified in 1’19″4 under the saddle at Meslay last month. Sanctioned in both public outings since, most recently a 2225m Moulins-la-Marche Class F on 7 July. Sports front pads but others still preferred
3. LAURIANA BELLA – Sanctioned in both public outings to date, most recently in Caen race of reference, but the new formula may prove just the ticket
4. LISA DU HEURT – Out of the picture in both starts to date, latterly sanctioned in a 2200m Agon-Coutainville Class H 2.5 weeks ago, and will not be troubling the judge
5. LORCANTA – Showed promise in last autumn’s qualification but sanctioned in all 4 public outings, most recently a 2700m Vire Class E early last month. Sports pads all around this time but still not a priority
6. LATINE DE L’ITON – 6th of 8 finishers on debut 12 days ago in a 2200m Agon-Coutainville Class F and will need to raise her game
7. LANA DE SENOVILLE – Lost her action early, when unsupported, in a 2450m Caen Class F on 24 June and is not about to shake things up
8. LA SOL FA – 7th of 9 in a 2100m Lignières Class F last weekend. Has demonstrated little skill for the discipline and, even with hind pads fitted, can be disregarded
9. LEDORIKA – Non partante
10. LOVELY MARINA – Last in both monté races so far, most recently 8th of 8 in a 2200m Vichy Class E 2 months ago. Comes here fresh but has no possible chance
11. LICORNE DE LA JOIE – Has started to come good since switching codes, most recently 3rd of 10 in a Class F over course and distance a week ago, and is not to be underestimated
12. LA FLECHE – 3rd to LA CHENEVIERE (14) at Caen before coming last but one in a Class F under these conditions a week ago. Most likely just a blip on her formcard and the change of jockey may be precisely what she requires
13. LUCIE D’AWAGNE – Has taken well to her new vocation, most recently 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2400m Amiens Class E early-June and, with Benjamin Rochard in the irons this time, will be no pushover
14. LA CHENEVIERE – Showed a different side to herself on 24 June when making short work of a 2450m Caen Class F, and looks eminently capable of repeating
15. LOU D’ECROVILLE – Lost her action when full of running in a 2050m harness Class E here earlier this month. Has done enough under harness to be considered a contender on monté debut
Summary: She may have taken some time to come to hand but LA CHENEVIERE (14) was a most impressive winner at Caen a month ago and, in similar form, can double up. Luc Gaborit will nevertheless be keeping a keen eye on the progressive LUCIE D’AWAGNE (13) who is plainly close to opening her account. LAURIANA BELLA (3), a full-sister to Kandora Bella, has evident potential, sports front pads for the first time, and will have her chances if Camille Levesque gets her off on the right foot. Dependability may not be her strong suit but LOU D’ECROVILLE (15) has obvious ability and makes her monté debut with 4 pads fitted for the first time this summer.

8. ADSUM – Won last time over 4500m at this track in a Class 3 cross-country chase on June 15th, 2023. Might need this return outing after over 12 months off
Summary: FORZA CONTI (4) will be better suited over today’s distance than she was when a credible third in a Listed cross-country chase at this track last time. She was a course winner two starts ago and can edge this from another previous course winner in GOLDEN DAWN (7) who has not been out of the first two in all of her races at this track. MISS LAURA (1) is the most likely safe option each way. GUMPCHOP (3) is also expected to have a say in proceedings.

1. KENMADA – Unplaced on both runs so far, the latest over 1400m at this track on June 9th in a maiden. Has work to do
2. LADELONETTE – Unplaced on her sole start over 1400m at Compiegne on June 22nd. Looks hard to recommend
3. SIGNORIA PIAZZA – Ran well when 2nd last time in a claimer was over 1200m at Aix-Les-Bains on July 9th. More needed but can make the frame
4. NIIA – 6th last time over 1000m at Dieppe on June 14th in a maiden on her second start. Should like the step up in trip this time
5. LARMES D’OR – Unplaced over 1400m at this track on July 11th on her sole start. She should improve but others make more appeal
6. BAY DE LARMOR – Unplaced on her sole start over 1400m at this track on July 11th. Needs vast improvement to figure
7. PEARL WOOD – Fair 4th last time over 1100m at Le Mans on May 15th in a Class 3 race. Can not be overlooked
8. CAMBODGE – Non-Runner
9. LADY OF ANDROS – Newcomer by Ardad, the dam won twice. Bold show is expected for this nicely bred filly
Summary: LADY OF ANDROS (9) has been found a good opportunity through her connections to make a winning debut in what looks like a modest maiden race. PEARL WOOD (7) has the best form of those that have raced and is the obvious threat. SIGNORIA PIAZZA (3) will need more than she showed when second last time in a claimer to be successful, but it was a better run. NIIA (4) should show an improved run on a step-up in trip today.

6. HARMONIE D’AINAY – 4th last time on July 1st over 3900m in a handicap chase. Will be better for that return outing and she can make an impact
7. CHAT PITRE – 5th last time over 4500m over fences at Corlay on June 30th. Will strip fitter this time but others preferred

9. EAGLE STEAL – Unplaced on his sole run in 2023 over 3700m at Craon in a handicap chase on September 25th. Makes return run and best watched
Summary: HARMONIE D’AINAY (6) should be sharper for a pleasing return run earlier this month when she was fourth on her seasonal return at Clairefontaine. She is preferred to ECOUTE EN TETE (1) who was not quite up to Listed Class last time but was a decent third in May in a Class 1 chase at Auteuil. HERALISTE (3) knows how to win and scored in a Class 1 hurdle two starts ago at Dax. He is effective over fences. JACKSON VILLE (5) is also worth considering.

3. LUKALEO – Won by 2L on his sole start over 2400m at Vichy on May 26th. Will improve from that and looks like the one to beat
4. LADIVA SMART – Won on her second start at Durtal on June 2nd over 2300m when last racing. Looks the type to keep improving with experience
5. LOLLY STAR – Won at Corlay over 2300m when last seen on her second start on June 30th. Needs a few to falter
Summary: All five of these are winners on their latest run. LUKALEO (3) scored on his debut with a bit to spare at Vichy in late May and is a marginal choice ahead of LAKOTA BLUE (1) who got the job done on his debut at Corlay and will have learned a good deal from that effort. LADIVA SMART (4) won at the second time of asking at Durtal in early June and she looks best of the remainder.

12. CORONASPRING – 4th last time over 3900m in a Class 4 chase on June 2nd at Landivisiau. Looks vulnerable
Summary: KI SOIT MARVEL (1) was third last time at Craon when beaten by less than a length by L’ETOILEE (5). On better terms this time he can reverse placings with his old rival. TRIM (6) won two runs ago over fences and could be the main danger to the selection. L’ETOILEE (5) has scored on her latest two runs and will find this harder with the rise in the weights. Although she can not be ruled out. HOLD THE HEART (4) is also worth a mention.

Summary: ALYAQUT (5) has shown ability in all three of her runs so far, she was a good fourth two runs ago in a maiden in May at Parislongchamp and can get off the mark this time. BAILEYS TOPAZE (6) has yet to win after nine runs but has been placed on the majority of her starts. She can play a lead role as can MA MOME (7) who was a good second on her latest start in a handicap. TANTOMILE (4) makes up the shortlist.

2. PRINCE DES DUNES –

16. BULSARA – Has six unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1400m in a Class 4 handicap on June 30th. Makes no appeal
Summary: A large number of the runners are out of form. PODIA DAZ (5) was a good second last time 10 days ago at Chateaubriant and is the tentative selection to finally get off the mark. ACHKI (7) can be a threat if emulating his effort at Chantilly earlier this month when he was third. L’AIR DU TEMPS (3) has eased in the ratings and is capable of being involved off his current handicap mark. SPACE FORCE (4) makes up the shortlist.

Summary: DIEPPE (16) can score from the foot of the weights. She has been on the premises on her last four runs and was not beaten far when sixth on her latest run at Chantilly 24 days ago. ROXY MUSIC (11) was a pleasing second two starts ago and can make the selection work hard for the win. UN PLUS UNE (12) has a nice racing weight and will be expected to be competitive.

10. JABIN DES TOURS – Showed improvement when 5th last time out in Class E Mounted race over this track and trip on 17 June. Can contest the finish
11. JALIENORTH GAME – Has really struggled this year and was 7th last time out in a Class E Mounted race over this course and distance on 16 June. Others are much preferred
12. JET DU RAVARY – Disqualified last time out at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on 26 June. Could have run third when faulting last time out and could make amends and score this time
Summary: JET DU RAVARY (12) ran much better than he fault last time out shows and could be good enough to win this time around if smart. JABIN DES TOURS (10) showed with an improved last run that he could be returning fro his best form. JUMACHA (8) is likely to do much better this time back under the saddle. JUNIOR DU CHATAULT (7) has been disappointing of late but could do better this time around.

Summary: ZOKOA (2) ran a cracker against stronger last time out and will appreciate the step down in class. He should play a strong hand here. NOIRE DESIRE (5) has been a model of consistency and with a weight advantage, he should be in the firing line. TEMPLE GATE (1) romped home to victory last and could be well placed to follow up. THECLIMB (13) hasn’t been too far off the action and looks to be one that should run another honest race.

Summary: QUDILLERO (2) finished a clear 2nd last time out and comes into this race with a pull at the weights over a couple reopposing sorts which could assist in him holding the edge. HARIASA (3) is 1.5kgs worse off at the weights with the top choice but should be able to get involved for the minor spots. L’ARCHET (6) comes from the same form as the top two and shouldn’t be discounted. PEDROZIO (11) is a longstanding maiden who has been there or thereabouts and it wouldn’t come as a shock if he were to come out victorious.

Summary: AWJ (4) dipped her feet in testing waters and didn’t particularly go well but back into calmer waters, it should see her play a leading role. SICILIAN THREAT (2) is better than her last effort and with a light galloping weight along with dropping in trip, she can challenge strongly. BUFFALO WOMAN (5) arrives in a good space and should produce a solid performance. JEALOUS SKY (6) has been a consistent sort and could be involved at the finish.

Summary: In a race that isn’t going to take a great deal of winning, MACANELLA (6) could be the answer as she comes into the race with a low galloping weight and has been knocking on the door for that maiden win. NOBLE COTAI (1) met a bit stronger last time out and comes into a suitable race which could see him fighting it out. WATHAB (3) can throw in a poor run every now and then but is mainly consistent and should be on the premises. PIU DREAM (2) ran a good race at his last start and can get involved.

Summary: NASOMO (2) gets weight off the back and brings winning form to the table which should see him right in the thick of things and he can go back to back on home ground. QUEST FOR LOVE (1) returned to winning ways with a fluent performance and can certainly follow up with the apprentice engaged. PLATEADO (7) was narrowly denied last time out and should be involved.

LUPIN DA CLODIA AA (3) met a useful field last and could be well placed to run a huge race. FIRST LILY PECOS AA (6) loves it at this venue and can bounce back to winning ways.

Summary: BASELITZ (8) slots in with bottom weight and needs to be forgiven for a rather indifferent run. He should bounce back in a very winnable race. PRINCESS ZIZOU (1) has shown to prefer running in these races where conditions suit and she can run a big race. JUBILE (4) has some form to his name which could be enough to see him in the shake up.

5. FOL EPI PECOS AA – Well beaten in 6th spot over 2100m at Tarbes on the 31st of March 2024. Would be a surprise winner
6. HEROS DU MAS AA – Dam won four times from 1700m – 2400m and this newcomer may be one to keep an eye on. The market is our best guide
7. PARIS GAGNANT AA – Finished 7th over 2100m at Tarbes in a Classic I on the 5th of June 2024. One to pass by
8. MY DARLING AA – Put up a fair effort to finish 4th over 2100m at Tarbes in a Classic I race on the 5th of June 2024. Minor money chance
9. LAOS PONTADOUR AA – Failed to finish the course over 2100m at Mont-De-Marsan on the 5th of July 2024. Unlikely to mount a challenge
10. SANDRO DE CAJUS AA – Finished 4th over 2200m at Cazaubon Barbotan Thermes on the 22nd of July 2024. More needed to feature
11. LEIA DE LA BRUNIE AA – Held in 6th position over 2400m at Castera-Verduzan behind a reopposing sort on the 6th of July 2024. Place chance
Summary: HARNAGA AA (2) showed lots of heart and fight to win on debut and wasn’t disgraced at her latest outing so could bounce back to winning ways. LOUP DE TANUES AA (1) wasn’t far behind the top pick at his last run and could turn the form around with a bit of luck in running. HERMIONE POMPADOUR AA (4) built on her debut effort to run out a comfortable winner and should be involved. LEIA DE LA BRUNIE AA (11) can show up better to run into the money.
