  2. DEW POINT – Got off the mark over 2000m at Marseille Pont-De Vivaux in a Class 3 race on May 23rd. Good run over this track when 4th in early May over 1600m. Live chance

  4. THUNDERBIRD – Four unplaced runs, the latter over 2000m at Nancy on May 22nd in a handicap. Place chance if in better form
  5. MON COMEDIEN – Three unplaced efforts of late, the latest over 2000m in a handicap at this track on April 30th. Capable of being competitive
  6. MATWAY – Nice win on her third start over 2000m at Vitteaux in a maiden race on May 18th. Handicap debut and has more to do
  7. GYP SEA – Credible 3rd on the latest start over 2100m at Dax in a Class 3 claimer on May 19th. Can make the frame at nice odds
  8. GOLDEN MAJESTY – Three unplaced run, the most recent over 1600m at Chantilly on May 16th in a maiden race. Pass over

  11. CALLA FONDA – 5th on the last two runs, the most recent in a conditions race at Bratislava (SVK) over 1700m on May 4th. Unlikely to threaten
  12. RUA – Three runs so far, 6th on the last run at Tarbes in a maiden on May 12th. More to come and is capable of a much better run
    Summary: DEW POINT (2) got off the mark on the PSF last time, which came after a solid run when fourth in a handicap over 1600m at this track in early May. He looks like he is improving with race experience. RUA (12) has shown ability in her three starts, and was sixth at Tarbes in a maiden last time out in May. She will be involved. PRETTYLADY (9) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. YOUNG AND PROUD (1) won last time at this track and has to be considered.

  13. MONTE CINTO – 5th on the last run over 3100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 4 handicap on May 9th. Top weight but should not be ruled out
  14. JEWEL DE CERISY – Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 4 handicap on May 9th. Strong stayer who has place claims
  15. AND WE DANCED – Two unplaced runs since a win over 2500m in a Class 4 handicap at Argentan on April 9th. Warrants respect
  16. BRAVE EVAN – Four unplaced efforts this year, the most recent over 3000m at Dieppe on May 24th in a conditions race. Out of form
  17. FRENCH DIVA – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 3100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 4 handicap on May 9th. Leading contender
  18. MORNING SPIRIT – Two good runs of late, a win two runs back over 2900m at Cavaillon in a Class 4 race on April 26th and a 3rd last time over 3100m at Saint-Cloud in May. Player
  19. MATGIWELL – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2400m at Limoges in a Class 4 race on May 4th. Unlikely to be involved
  20. CHARLES LEGEND – Four unplaced runs this year, the latter over 2100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap on May 23rd. Needs to recapture better form
  21. LADY STRAIGHT – Ran well to be 3rd over 3100m at Nantes on May 5th in a Class 4 handicap. One to keep onside
  22. STRIVER – 4th on the last run over 2600m at Morlaix on May 11th in a Class 4 race. Capable of making the top four
  23. SIXTINE BAAL – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 2500m at Deauville in a Class 4 handicap on January 23rd. Look elsewhere
  24. LITTLE HEART – 3rd last time over 2600m in a Class 4 race at Plestin on May 18th in a conditions race. Not the most reliable
  25. CONCERTO – 5th last time, a win before that over 2850m at Loudeac on April 27th in a Class 4 race. Looks vulnerable
  26. PRINCE SHALAA – Won on the last run over 2600m at Vitteaux in a Class 4 race on May 18th. Others make more appeal
  27. CHONBURI – Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3200m at Lignieres on April 13th in a Class 4 handicap. Opposable
  28. MILORD DU LEMO – He has been running over hurdles, finishing 3rd in a handicap hurdle at Chateaubriant on May 12th over 4200m, when last seen. Pass over
    Summary: FRENCH DIVA (5) could be the answer to this open handicap. She was a decent second at Saint-Cloud on her penultimate start in early May and can edge this from MORNING SPIRIT (6), who has been in good shape recently with a win two starts ago and a third in the same race as the selection at Saint-Cloud in May. MORNING SPIRIT (6) was fifth in the same race and is one to look at each way. AND WE DANCED (3) heads the remainder.

  29. YES ZARA – Won on the last run over 3100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 4 race on May 23rd. One to pay attention to
  30. STILYKER – 6th on the one run this year over 3100m on May 23rd in a Class 4 race at Saint-Cloud behind YES ZARA (1). In the mix
  31. DYLAN’S SPIRIT – Three unplaced runs this year, the latter over 2500m at Le Croise-Laroche in a Class 4 handicap on May 18th. Hard to fancy
  32. ELOISE – Placed on her last two runs, the latter when 3rd over 2400m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on May 7th. Player
  33. QUARTZDARGENT – Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 2400m at Vichy in a Class 4 handicap on May 14th. Has placed form over a similar trip and can make the frame at nice odds
  34. JEU DE JAMBES – 5th last time, 2nd before over 3000m at Limoges in a Class 4 race on May 4th. Needs to be more reliable
  35. SUMMER WAY – 5th on the one run this year, that was at Fontainebleau in a Class 3 handicap on March 7th. Among the leading each way chances

  38. SHANGHAI SPIRIT – 7th last time, 3rd before that over 3100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap on May 1st. One to look at each way
  39. KENJI – She won over 3100m at Saint-Cloud three runs back in a Class 3 handicap in April and was a decent 2nd on her last run at the same track/trip on May 23rd in a Class 4 race. Ought to be in the shake-up
  40. RED JOY – Unplaced last time, 2nd before over hurdles at Compiegne on March 12th in a Class 2 handicap. Little to be enthusiastic about
  41. PRINCESS KARA – Placed on the last two runs, 3rd on the latest over 2650m at Chateaubriant on May 12th in a Class 4 handicap. Others seem better equipped
  42. SHAMSABAD – Ran well to be 2nd over 2600m at this track in a Class 4 handicap on May 15th. Looking for win number 9 and warrants respect
  43. UM ELNADIM – Won on her last run over 2650m at Chateaubriant on May 12th in a Class 4 handicap. Outside place chance at best
  44. STRANGELOVE – Several unplaced runs of late, well beaten over 3000m at Dieppe on the latest on May 24th. Look for an alternative
    Summary: ELOISE (4) has placed in her last two starts, including one at this track in a Class 3 handicap. She steps up in trip but has previous placed form over 2900m, making her a strong contender. YES ZARA (1) is a proven stayer, having won at Saint-Cloud late last month, and poses a real threat. KENJI (11) benefits from a favorable racing weight and is a solid each-way option. STILYKER (2) finished behind the main selection last time but remains a respectable contender.

  47. GOLD INDEX – Won on the last run over 1600m in a Class 3 race at Vichy on May 25th. Capable of making his presence felt
  48. LUCKY WINE – 5th in a Class 2 race last time over 1600m at Chantilly on May 16th. Course winner over 1300m last year. Player
  49. SAIDI EL FAL – Two solid runs this year, 4th on the latter over 1400m in a Class 1 race at this track on May 7th. One to keep onside
  50. LEV – 6th on the one run this year, that was over 1800m at Chantilly in a Class 2 race on April 3rd. Others appeal more
  51. AROUND THE WORLD – 2nd on the last run over 2000m in a Class 3 race on May 17th at Lyon Parilly. Would be a surprise winner
  52. GOLIGHTLY – Won on the last start over 1800m in a Class 2 race on October 17th at Chantilly. Might need this run after a layoff
  53. HIT IT – Two unplaced runs this year, the latest over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 2 handicap on May 16th. Has work to do
    Summary: MERKUR (2) finished a strong second in a Listed race at Köln last time and has a solid chance of securing another victory. LUCKY WINE (4), a previous course winner over 1350m last year, put in a commendable performance at Chantilly in May in a Class 2 race and should be competitive here. SAIDI EL FAL (5) also warrants consideration and is expected to be in the mix. GOLD INDEX (3) triumphed in a lower-level race at Vichy last time and enters calculations.
    SELECTIONS
    MERKUR (2) – LUCKY WINE (4) – SAIDI EL FAL (5) – GOLD INDEX (3)

  54. PRINCESSE SAPHIR – 6th last time out, 4th before that over 2000m at Compiegne on April 25th in a Class 4 race. Unlikely to trouble some of these
  55. VERNIX – Two unplaced runs since a win over 1600m at Fontainebleau on March 18th in a conditions race. Not the most reliable
  56. ZILRAK – Fair 3rd last time over 2000m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on April 17th. Among the leading contenders
  57. ODEMAR – Two solid runs this year, a win at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 race on April 4th and a 4th at this track in a Class 3 race on May 22nd. Hard to overlook
  58. DAMINO – Placed on the last three runs, 2nd on the latest over 2000m in a Class 3 handicap on May 13th at Saint-Cloud. Ought to be in the shake-up
  59. STORMY NIGHT – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 2100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap on March 20th. Track form has not been inspiring
  60. MAD WHIP – 6th last time, a win before that over 2000m at Toulouse on April 20th in a Class 4 handicap. Can have a say in the finish

  62. HELLO COTAI – Three consistent runs of late, 3rd on the most recent over 1800m at Dieppe in a Class 3 handicap on May 24th. Place contender
  63. COEUR DE ROUME – Placed on the last two runs, 2nd on the latest over 1800m at Compiegne on May 21st in a Class 3 handicap. Might find this more challenging
    Summary: SEE THE LIGHT (8) ran a good race to be second at Chantilly in mid-May on his last start, and he is preferred ahead of ZILRAK (3), who shaped well to be third at this track when last seen in April in a Class 3 handicap. ODEMAR (4) has run well on both starts this year, the latest when fourth in a competitive Class 3 race at this track, when not beaten far two weeks ago. DAMINO (5) is an honest performer and can have a say at the business end.

  67. GANASS – Ran well to be 4th over track and trip two runs back on May 11th in a Class 1 handicap when behind a couple of today’s rivals. Hard to rule out of the frame
  68. SWIFT FLIGHT – Two unplaced runs of late, 6th on the latter over 2000m at Fontainebleau on April 21st in a Class 3 race. One to keep safe
  69. GRAND BALCON – 2nd on the last run over 2000m at this track in a Class 2 handicap on May 11th. One to consider each way
  70. MOTION – Two nice runs of late, a win on April 15th over 2500m in a claimer and a 3rd at Angers on May 20th in a Class 2 handicap. Merits consideration
  71. DEEP SEA – Won last time over 1800m at Compiegne in a Class 3 race on May 21st. Others seem more likely
  72. RAQEEBB – Two placed efforts of late, 4th on the latter over 2000m at this track on May 11th in a Class 2 handicap. Among the leading each-way contenders
  73. LOUVAGNY – 4th on the last run over 2000m at Fontainebleau in a Class 3 race on April 21st. Has work to do
  74. ALATHEA – 6th last time, won before that over 2000m at Le Lion D’Angers in a Class 4 handicap on May 6th. Look for alternative
  75. LE FREINAY – Unplaced last time, a win over 1900m at Deauville on April 8th in a Class 3 handicap last time. Hard to recommend
  76. NARCOS – Nice 2nd last time over 1950m in a Class 3 race at this track on May 4th. Can make the top four at nice odds

    Summary: GAMESTARS (1) tops the handicap and ran a strong third in a Class 1 handicap over 2000m at this track early last month. Lightly raced, he has plenty more to offer. ALMIRO (2) finished one place ahead in second in the same race and remains a serious threat. They meet on identical terms, but the wide draw could tip the balance in the former’s favour. GANASS (4), who was fourth in that contest, is a solid contender. RAQEEBB (9) has strong recent course form and should be in the mix, while SWIFT FLIGHT (5) leads the remainder.

  92. MOUNKA – Two unplaced runs since a win over 2400m at Pornichet on February 6th in a Class 4 handicap. Others make more appeal
  93. SCHERWOOD – Two unplaced efforts this year, well beaten on the latest over 2000m at Fontainebleau on April 1st in a Class 3 handicap. Look for an alternative

ARMORIGENE (3) poses a threat after finishing a solid third in a Class 3 handicap at Saint-Cloud in April, and he remains a contender despite a less convincing run last time out. THAT’S MY POWER (10) has performed well in his last two outings and is a strong each-way option. MY DARLING (7) completes the shortlist.

    C8 – PRIX PAT GLENNON – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 4 Race – Flat – EUR € 16,000
  94. JUST IN TIME GAME – Two nice runs of late, 2nd on the latest over 1400m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on May 22nd, and a win before that in April over track and trip. Sets the standard
  95. BOUGAINVILLIER – Unplaced last time out, 2nd before that over 1600m at Chantilly on April 3rd in a Class 3 handicap. One to consider
  96. MARLOWE – Two unplaced runs since a 4th over 1600m at Nantes on April 9th in a Class 3 handicap. He won at Chantilly in April over 1600m. Player

  103. JIEPIES MELODY – Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1600m at Vichy in a Class 4 handicap on May 14th. Not consistent
    Summary: JUST IN TIME GAME (1) has solid form at this racecourse. A win over course and distance in April and a good second over 1400m two weeks ago when last racing. He gets the vote ahead of LETTY’S MARVEL (5), who was a close-up fifth over 2000m at this track in early May and should be suited by the drop back in distance today. MARLOWE (3) looks like one for the each-way backers to take seriously. BOUGAINVILLIER (2) is also worth considering.

She gets the nod ahead of LOVE TO RUN (10) who returned to form last time and is capable of great things when in the mood. LOLA DU CLOS (9), after an encouraging comeback, and ideally positioned LIYAVA (3) also have the means of troubling the principals.

    Summary: LIDO DE LOU (11) didn’t go unnoticed on his much-needed return and is a genuine candidate for success with improved fitness on his side. Sharper without his irons, LUTHIER DE PAIL (5) will likely fight for victory, along with enigmatic LOVAK DE HOUELLE (8) and LOCKED UP (4), who is open to improvement racing fully unshod for the first time. LE VOILA SAUTONNE (3) should not be underestimated either.

  27. MACHIAVEL BOURBON – Unbeaten in two starts with the latest being in Class D at Châteaubriant over 2400m on 3 February. Returns from a break break but has a winning chance
  28. MAGIE DU CHATAULT – Unbeaten in two starts, with the latest being in Class E at La Capelle over 2700m on 8 May. Can complete the hat-trick
    Summary: An exciting duel in prospect between two unbeaten horses bidding to complete the hat-trick. MAGIE DU CHATAULT (5) is only marginally preferred to MACHIAVEL BOURBON (4), a winner against some Parisian heavyweights but unseen since early February. Consistent MILLESIME STAR (3) should and improving MIRZA DU BOUILLON (2) appeal most for the remainder and will likely fight it out for the remaining podium berth.

  29. KERLOVE – Finished 9th in a Class E race at Le Mans over 2950m on 8 May. Fitter this time and was barefoot when winning and is barefoot for this race
  30. KING MAJANO – Disappointing last run when 8th in a Class F race at Sablé-sur-Sarthe over 2850m on 25 May. In good form before that and has a place chance
  31. KEMER SI – Has struggled of late and finished 6th in a Class E race at Caen over 2200m on 28 May. Needs to do more to beat these rivals
  32. KLASSIC WINNER – Disappointing last run when 8th in a Class E race at Graignes over 2700m on 23 May. A winner of his two previous starts and has a winning chance
  33. KING D’HERMES – Showed some improvement when a barefoot winner of a Class F race at Sablé-sur-Sarthe over 2850m on 25 May, Remains unshod and can double up
  34. KASSKOU CLEMAXELLE – Finished 6th in a Class E race at Nantes over 3025m on 29 May. Capable of better and can get involved with the finish
  35. KAZAN DE VANDEL – Holding form and finished 5th in a Class E race at Vincennes (Grande Piste) over 2100m on 16 May. Capable of doing better than that and has a winning chance
  36. KLEMS DE JAVIE – Only modest form of late and finished 8th in a Class E race at Le Mans over 2950m on 22 May. Needs to do more to win this race
    Summary: A winner on turf at Sablé recently, KING D’HERMES (5) again races barefoot so confirmation from him is therefore expected. Ultra-consistent KAZAN DE VANDEL (7) is ideally engaged under these conditions and likely to pose a threat. KASSKOU CLEMAXELLE (6) is better than his last start suggests and the presence of Éric Raffin in the sulky bodes well for his chances too. Despite his recent mishap at Graignes, KLASSIC WINNER (4) shouldn’t be underestimated either.

  52. IQUEM – He was disqualified in his last three races, most recently at Cagnes-sur-Mer on 9 January. Probably best watched for now
  53. HANACK DE VIVOIN – Disappointing recent form and was 8th in a Class C race at Lyon-Parilly over 2850m on 24 May. Did better at the beginning of the year and could surprise
  54. GRAND PAJELO – Has lost his way and was unplaced in a Class D race at Vincennes over 2850m on 3 May. Others make more appeal
    Summary: Thriving IDEAL DE BAULON (2) completed a hat-trick of victories when scoring at Châteaubriant recently and this represents a good opportunity for him to extend his winning sequence. Fellow last-start winner IZIO D’ECHAL (4), up in class after a recent Villedieu-les-Poêles success, and IBOY DES TITHAIS (6) have the form and experience to trouble the selection, while HOLD THE LINE (15) isn’t favourably positioned but also has the means to make his presence felt .

  68. IL TROTTE JARL – Has struggled of late and was unplaced in a Class F race at Durtal over 2850m on 18 May. Did better last year and could surprise
    Summary: HERCULE DES SABLES (12) returns to the scene of his latest success and, after a disappointing last start, is worth giving another chance to back at a track he enjoys. He is preferred to IN LOVE DE BLARY (8), who is better under the saddle and would’ve refined her form/condition with a recent start in the harness category, and HOMMAGE LUDOIS (13), a hard-knocker at this level with the form and experience to acquit himself competitively. HARLEY DELTO (6) has a proven track record under saddle and also deserves a mention.

    Summary: Enigmatic JUST D’ACADIE (8) has disqualification issues but certainly has the means to win a race of this nature. JUNIOR ANGELE (7) has acquitted himself well in both comeback outings and will presented in ‘race mode’ so should play a leading role here. Consistent JAGERBOMB (5), unreliable JASMIN PHIL (6) and hard-knocker JEAN MADRIK (9) are competitive for a spot on the podium.

    Summary: HEAD OF STATE (13) fluffed his lines last time but finds himself in a position to restore his image under conditions that should suit him. INDIEN DE FONTAINE (12) is back on track after consecutive victories and is another genuine candidate for success. INSTINCT SAINT BAR (10) is better than his record suggests but has sufficient quality to play a leading role, especially without his irons again. IDEAL DU LERRE (6) is reunited with Éric Raffin, a tandem that has proven itself already.

  1. CAMPACITE – A well-backed debut winner of a Conditions race at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 1200m on 5 May. Should follow up and beat these rivals
  2. SUCKING DIESEL – Improving and was runner-up at Madrid over 1100m on 25 May. Needs more to beat these rivals but can earn some prize money
  3. GOLDEN BREEZE – Failed to show her best when 7th in a Listed race at Vichy over 1000m on 14 May. Won nicely on debut and could be a threat
  4. THE BEST GLORY – Finished 6th in a Listed race at Vichy over 1000m on 14 May. Won over this track and trip on debut and is clearly not out of it
  5. VICTOR VITAE – Finished 5th on debut in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud on 19 May. Capable of improvement and is one to consider
    Summary: CAMPACITE (1) was a €160,000 purchase last summer and went some way to repaying her connections by showing impressive acceleration to make a winning debut. He would’ve benefitted from that experience and is good value to remain unbeaten. After finishing 6th and 7th, respectively, in a Listed race at Vichy after winning debuts, fillies THE BEST GLORY (4) and GOLDEN BREEZE (3) are best placed to challenge the selection. Of the rest, likely improver VICTOR VITAE (5) completes the shortlist.

  12. MIDSHIP PONTADOUR AA – Showed little on debut in a Conditions race over this track and trip on 6 April. Capable of improvement, but others are preferred
    Summary: A pleasing 3rd on debut, HAPPY BIRTHDAY (4) improved with that outing under the belt to win last time and she seems capable of following up here with further progress expected. Last-start runner-up HINDABAD (2) is closely matched with the selection so will likely pose a threat, along with recent Dax scorer CHARLIE DE LA BRUNIE (1) and likely improver CLINT IS WOOD (6) who didn’t finished an encouraging 3rd on debut.

Consistent last-start scorer KAI LUNG (5) and MANEKI (6), stablemate to the selection, are most likely to expose any chinks in the armour of the favourite. Experienced MARVELOUS BY NIGHT (7) is weighted to challenge for a spot on the podium.

  24. DIVINE DE LENZAC AA – Unreliable and was fourth in a Conditions race at Dax over 2100m on 19 May. Needs more to trouble the principals
  25. FREE VOLE AA – Has shown only modest form so far and was 5th in a Conditions race at Royan La Palmyre over 2300m on 29 May. Needs to improve
  26. VALSE AREDIENNE AA – Has run well in both starts and was third in a Conditions race at Dax over 2100m on 19 May. Should be in the mix again
    Summary: Gradually dropped out to the rear of the field on debut, FRODON DU PECOS (4) didn’t have to exert himself in the straight to get the better of his rivals and such was the manner of his performance that it should pay to follow his progress. Runner-up to our favorite that day, VALSE AREDIENNE (7) and long-time leader (3rd) in that key reference race FARREL DU PECOS (1) will obviously pose a threat on these terms. FLINTILIE (3) is open to improvement wearing blinkers for the first time.

  37. MALICIA – A runner-up in a Condition race at this track over 1500m on 12 May. A good latest effort on this track and warrants attention
    Summary: Top-rated ZANGAR (1) will likely find a handy position in this contest and could have the race run to suit, so he gets the nod at the primary expense of ROMAN FORUM (6), who has an impressive record over this course in his two outings, and MARQUES (8) who will once again be partnered by Jean-Bernard Eyquem. OTOMAI (2) is back on the right track so could fight MALICIA (11) for a place on the podium.

  47. OJIBWE – Fifth on debut in a Condition race at La Teste-du-Buch over 1800m on 16 May. Others are preferred in this line-up
  48. COUR SAINT ELOI – Well beaten 9th in a Condition race at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 1900m on 24 May. Unlikely to be involved in the finish
    Summary: PARANIAK (4) got going too late last time but seems close to a breakthrough first victory. However, he will need to be wary of BLACK ULTRA (2), who showed enough in both starts to fight for victory, and experienced PIRAILLAN (1) who ran well at this venue last time out. LIGHT MELODY (9) is probably better than what she showed on debut so cannot be hastily condemned, so could challenge for a podium berth along with BIG DREAM CEN (5).

  49. JOJO JUNIOR – Fifth in a Handicap at Dax over 1400m on 19 May. Not far off them in the last two efforts, and is not out of it
  50. PERLI CHOPE – Finished 6th in a Handicap at La Teste-du-Buch over 1100m on 16 May. Was behind INSTRUIT (4) in the latest but can be competitive
  51. EXPERTISE – Finished 8th in a Handicap at Marseille-Borely over 1200m on 9 May. Supplemented for this race and was a runner-up three runs back
  52. INSTRUIT – A runner-up in a Handicap at La Teste-du-Buch over 1100m on 16 May. Should make a bold bid for victory. Good chance
  53. BLOOD DIAMOND – Unplaced in a Handicap at Toulouse over 1600m on 21 May. Needs to find a few lengths to be competitive
  54. QUEEN OF LIGHT – Unplaced in a Handicap at La Teste-du-Buch over 1100m on 16 May. Poor form and others are preferred
  55. POLIVATE – Finished 7th in a Handicap at La Teste-du-Buch over 1100m on 16 May. Track-suited and can contest the finish
  56. SILAHAI GIRL – Unplaced in a Condition race at Marseille-Vivaux over 1500m on 8 March. Others make more appeal in this line-up
  57. HAARICIA – Finished 6th in a Condition race at Lyon-Parilly over 1200m on 29 May. Unlikely to be involved in the finish
    Summary: After a series of poor performances, INSTRUIT (4) made a name for himself over this distance last time when finishing 2nd and he need only repeat that performance (confirm that improvement) to go one better. Sixth that day, PERLI CHOPE (2) didn’t go unnoticed and remains competitive off her current mark. POLIVATE (7) won over a longer distance in his only appearance at Tarbes but has to be respected. EXPERTISE (3) completes the shortlist.

  1. IMAM FLASH – Pulled-up in a 2800m Bernay Class G on 1 May. No longer the horse he once was and can be ignored
  2. INITIALE MACHA – 10th of 12 in a 2400m Amiens harness amateurs Class G on 17 May. Has never shown much aptitude for the ridden game and is not about to break the mould
  3. JACADY SLY – 8th of 11 finishers in a 2700m Graignes Class G a fortnight back. Is confirmed here but in this company will need to find more
  4. JEKILL ROCQ – Below-par at Alencon but redeemed himself when 2nd of 15 in a 2750m Elbeuf Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Tends to go well here and in current form is easy to like for a place in the frame
  5. JOYAU DE MORTREE – Back under the saddle after being sanctioned in a 2825m Sablé-sur-Sarthe harness Class E on 25 May. Has produced some good efforts this season and, shod to preference, should not be overlooked
  6. JET BESP – Authoritative winner of a 2550m Gournay-en-Bray Class H on 25 May. In better company this time and while unlikely to repeat can still challenge for a place on the podium
  7. JUBLA VIKING – Drops in category after running 7th of 8 in a 2450m Caen Class F on 17 May. Is better than recent numbers would suggest and will not be far from the action if she can keep her action together
  8. JASMINE DE NEUVY – Complicated but talented mare that made it 2 on the trot when dominating a 2700m Graignes Class D early last month and if applied will take all the beating
  9. ISIDORE BONHEUR – 6th of 11 in a 3150m Abbeville Class H a week ago. Has little room for manoeuvre against the 5yo’s but has shown a liking for Mauquenchy and, shod to preference, is worth retaining
  10. IN LOVE DE L’ITON – Made up for Alencon clinker when unopposed winner of a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 21 May. Seldom puts a foot out of line and is not about to buck the trend. Chance
    Summary: Back at the top of her game following a tough start to the season, JASMINE DE NEUVY (8) makes her Mauquenchy bow on a hat-trick and with application can pull it off. That said, IN LOVE DE L’ITON (10) has never been bested win the day’s configuration, benefits from a fine entry, and will be no easy touch. Barefoot and in-form for his return to the discipline, JEKILL ROCQ (4) has shown a liking for the venue and is not to be underestimated. JET BESP (6) got back in the game 11 days ago and sports modified shoeing for the occasion.

  11. KISS SYMPHONY – Sanctioned in a 2550m Reims Class E on 17 May. Has been off her porridge over recent months and has no realistic chance
  12. KOMSI KOMSA – Continued her modest ways when sanctioned in a 2600m Class F at Châlons-en-Champagne on 25 May and can expect to remain friendless
  13. KHALEESI HEAVEN – 5th of 8 in a 2550m Gournay-en-Bray Class F 11 days ago. Races barefoot with Franck Ouvrie in the bike but still has too much to do
  14. KISS ME FIRST – Well-beaten in both starts this season, most recently last of 12 in a 2800m Bernay Class E on 1 May, and will struggle to make her presence felt
  15. KABRIOLE D’ENFER – Imposed at Moulins 2.5 weeks ago, at 30/1, before running 2nd of 15 in a 2150m Vichy Class F 8 days later, at 50/1, and must be taken more seriously this time around
  16. KARINA JOSSELYN – Defied expectations to fly up in a 2875m Laon claimer on 18 May. Makes first appearance for new stable and even with shoes fitted is worth keeping an eye on
  17. KLEM DU HANOY – Sanctioned when preparing for this in a 2775m Elbeuf Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Trainer back in the bike and although in better company this time still looks competitively well in
  18. KOPAZE DE HOUELLE – Has yet to make her mark this year, latterly 6th of 11 finishers in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E on 11 May, and is unlikely to create an upset
  19. KAMELIYA – Secured the double in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F last November. Unraced since but is hard to knock when applied and can bring the fight to KAROLE DU JOUAN (12)
  20. KARA DES DUNES – Has not been seen out since winning a 2700m Graignes Class F late-December. Should appreciate Mauquenchy profile though and even with pads fitted can still finish close
  21. KELLE NANA – Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2625m Cherbourg claimer on 11 May. Is well-entered though, with Yoann Lebourgeois reining, and must not be underestimated
  22. KAROLE DU JOUAN – Imposed at Pontivy before running 2nd of 12 in a 2800m Tours Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Pleased on lone start at the venue and, barefoot this time, is easy to like for the win
  23. KRONA VIKING – Starts for first time since being sanctioned in a 2175m Vincennes Class E on 11 April. Forced to start on back line here and can be passed over
  24. KIRA DE CAHOT – Disappointing so far this year, most recently 10th of 13 finishers in a 2875m Argentan Class E last week, and prospects look decidedly slim, barefoot or not
  25. KUNZITE D’EM – Encouraged in March and April but sanctioned in last 3, latterly a 2400m Amiens Class D 10 days ago, and the extra 25m to travel will do her no favours
    Summary: Something of an open affair this, but it is nonetheless difficult to ignore the well-engaged KAROLE DU JOUAN (12) who has turned a corner since returning to racing barefoot. KAMELIYA (9) though is seldom far off the mark when focused and even though unseen since November, she still looks the main threat. Mare of a similar profile, KARA DES DUNES (10) sports pads for her the-entry and makes her Mauquenchy debut with a realistic chance of coming close. KLEM DU HANOY (7) is barefoot as she was when successful in Lyon and must be considered a player.

  26. KIROYAL DU VINOIS – 7th of 15, a place behind KAPITAN TER BLEKTE (7) in a Class E over course and distance mid-March. Has not been seen since and, shod for the occasion, is unlikely to shake things up
  27. KROONER DE L’ITON – Last but one in a 2825m Sablé-sur-Sarthe Class F on 25 May. Is not devoid of talent but appears to need another race
  28. KANSAS DU RIB – Met little opposition en route to victory in a 2800m Vire Class F, on comeback, early last month. Is as tricky as they come but on good behaviour could well confirm
  29. KADO DE VANDEL – Last of 11, on comeback, in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E a month ago and is clearly out of his depth
  30. KASH WIT – 10th of 12 in a 2725m Graignes Class F on 1 May. Re-shod this time, won his only start here, but is taking on too much
  31. KRUNCHY – Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2825m Sablé-sur-Sarthe Class F late last month, and can be confidently ruled out
  32. KAPITAN TER BLEKTE – Always gives his best but will need to improve on his 6th of 11 in a 2550m Reims Class E on 17 May
  33. KENAVO BELRI – Comfortable winner of a 2600m Châlons-en-Champagne Class F 11 days ago, on first start for 2.5 months. Shoes off again and steps up in category with a good hand to play
  34. KIKEN GASHI – Back under harness after finishing 6th of 7 in a 2550m Gournay-en-Bray monte Class F late last month and with hind shoes back on is not about to spring any surprises
  35. KUZCO – Sanctioned in 2 before running 9th of 12 in a 2600m Class F at Châlons-en-Champagne on 25 May. Ran 2nd here when barefoot last autumn though and will have his supporters
  36. KARTING DU VIVIER – Sanctioned early in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E on 21 April. Has won 4 of the 5 races he has finished and with application can make this his own
  37. KESSERO – Ran 3rd of 15 in a 2800m Bernay Class E on 1 May. Goes barefoot for the first time on a hard surface and despite the handicap could exceed expectations
  38. KILLER ANGOT – Won nicely at Villedieu-les-Poëles before coming 2nd of 13 in a 2700m Graignes Class E a fortnight ago. Is a tough nut when barefoot and even from the 2nd line will not be far off the mark
  39. KARAMBA KARACHO – 5th of 12 in a 2700m Class D at Le Croise-Laroche on 21 May. Is confirmed when barefoot and, well-engaged, will be no easy touch if focused
    Summary: Nicely-entered at the limit of earnings, KARTING DU VIVIER (11) reverts to a previous configuration after having lost his action early at Cherbourg and Sébastien Ernault will be determined to set the record straight. Leading the opposition, KENAVO BELRI (8) has done nothing but improve this term and is not incapable of confirming his Châlons success, while Yoann Lebourgeois will have been encouraged by the performance KANSAS DU RIB (3) put in on re-entry early last month. KESSERO (12) is 25m worse off but showed marked improvement last time out and runs barefoot again.

  41. JOURNAL INTIME – Ran 2nd at Cholet before coming 5th of 11 in a 2825m Durtal Class E 2.5 weeks ago, and from the front line is unlikely to disappoint
  42. IPSON WIND – Pleasantly surprised on re-entry when 3rd of 13 in a 2400m Amiens amateurs Class G on 17 May, but a repeat seems most improbable
  43. JAVA DES BERTHES – Sanctioned in a 2875m Argentan Class D on 25 May. Sanctioned in last 2 here and with hind shoes back on is unlikely to trouble the judge
  44. JAZZY MAKER – Particularly productive since starting to race barefoot, most recently 2nd of 12 in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle a month back, and the 25m head-start will only work to her advantage. First 3
  45. HOLLY GREEN – 6th of 11 in a 2725m Graignes Class E a fortnight back. Incurs the penalty but with shoes off this time should be able to give this a good go
  46. HANUGAN – Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2750m Cabourg amateurs monte Class F last August and will have nothing to offer
  47. JAGUAR DU FAN – Solid as a rock so far this season, latterly 2nd of 16 to JOLIE COKTAIL (10) in a 3150m Abbeville Class E 3.5 weeks ago. Bridesmaid in 4 of last 5 but it is just a matter of time before he gets his nose in front
  48. INFIEL – Sanctioned in a 2400m Amiens Class E on 17 May. Races barefoot for first time this year and with application will not be far off the mark
  49. JOLIE COKTAIL – Came 3rd at Elbeuf before winning a 3150m Abbeville Class E 3.5 weeks ago. Has freshness on her side and looks every part the pick of the field
    Summary: A fine servant when barefoot and focused, JOLIE COKTAIL (10) benefits from a golden entry here and in current condition will take all the beating. Runner-up to him at Abbeville, JAGUAR DU FAN (8) is plainly close to his race but may have to play 2nd fiddle once more. A model of consistency, and presently enjoying a rich vein of form, JAZZY MAKER (5) is 25m better off and represents a solid place prospect. Similarly breaking in front, JOURNAL INTIME (2) is in fine shape and must be afforded respect.

  52. LYX OF CAMARO – Won on April comeback at Vire before running courageous 4th of 12 in a 2800m Chartres Class E early last month. Comes here fresh and will be expected to contest the finish
  53. LABORANTIN – Out of the picture in 3 starts this year, latterly last of 9 in a 2450m Caen Class E last week, and will struggle to make his presence felt
  54. LISSANDRO D’ARC – Runner-up in 2 of last 3, latterly a 2150m Vichy Class F on 20 May. Top driver in the bike this time and from the 5-spot will be no pushover
  55. LIKE YOU MADRIK – Won 3 in a row before coming 2nd of 18 in a 2650m Cherbourg claimer on 11 May. Steps up in category on first outing for new yard and in current form is hard to ignore
  56. LOOK DES CAILLONS – Made up for Loudeac sanction when imposing over 3150m in an Abbeville Class F 3.5 weeks ago. Benefits from a good entry and will be competitive for the spoils
  57. LOTUS JIEL – 4th of 11 in a 2600m Nancy Class F last Friday. Unlikely to win this but is still good enough to make first 5
  58. LOGO MAJYC – Quickly sanctioned on re-entry in a 2300m Chartres Class E last Sunday. Has evident ability, is entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois, and could well get his nose in front
  59. LE LIBERTY – Last of 8, on return to competition, in a 2200m Caen Class F last Saturday and has no possible chance
    Summary: Enjoying something of a renaissance since starting to race barefoot, LAUREL (2) returns to running left-handed and with form maintained should have the measure of LYX OF CAMARO (3) who took no time getting back in the winners’ enclosure, and the more widely-drawn LOOK DES CAILLONS (7) who has won 2 of his last 3. LISSANDRO D’ARC (5) has been handed a good spot behind the car and, entrusted to Gabriele Gelormini for the first time, will be afforded every chance.

  60. LILOU D’ATOUT – Back under harness after running 7th of 13 in a 2750m monte Class E at La Capelle a month ago. Starts on the inside but is first-time barefoot and merits respect
  61. LADY MAJOR – Made short work of a 2725m Graignes Class F on 23 May. Similarly configured this time and has a realistic chance of doubling her money
  62. LA VALLEY FLIGNY – In the frame in last 4, latterly 3rd of 8 finishers in a 2300m Chateaubriant Class E on 25 May. Barefoot this time but the challenge looks significantly stiffer this time around
  63. LOUNA DU LOCHEUR – Serious filly making first appearance since faulting in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on Christmas Eve. Has nothing to prove at this level and, if applied, can make a big splash
  64. LEWISIA DE LATOM – Got straight down to business on re-entry, winning a 2400m Amiens Class F mid-May. Boasts a 50 percent win-rate which she could well extend here
  65. LA BELLE MIKA – 4th of 11, at 22/1, in a 2400m Amiens Class E 10 days ago but will struggle to repeat
  66. LADY MASTER – Failed to confirm Graignes victory when 5th of 14 in a 2650m Alencon Class F last weekend. Is undeniably capable though and has a decent chance of trotting her way into the picture
  67. LA CALLAS – 5th of 6 finishers in a 3150m Class F at La Roche-Posay on Sunday. Just front shoes off this time but others still preferred
  68. LUNA DE BELFONDS – Disappointing for past 2.5 months, most recently sanctioned in a 2300m Chateaubriant Class E 11 days ago, and will have nothing to contribute
    Summary: LADY MAJOR (2) stormed home at Graignes recently when competitively shod for the first time and is ideally-positioned to repeat. Robin Lamy will nevertheless be justifiably wary of LEWISIA DE LATOM (5) who he himself drove to victory mid-May, and LOUNA DU LOCHEUR (4) who, although unraced since December, will be no soft touch if focused. LADY MASTER (7) proved superior to the Jajolet filly at Graignes and warrants consideration.

  69. JEREZ – Makes first start since running 5th of 12 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D last August. Shod for re-entry and starts on the rail but takes a notable dip in category and will be hard to oppose
  70. GRANADOS – Last of 13 on comeback in a 2800m Vire amateurs Class G on 20 April. Raced better that day than the result would suggest and looks main danger to JEREZ (1)
  71. GET READY – Back in the harness game after coming 7th of 11 in a 2700m Graignes monte Class D a fortnight ago. Has never excelled at Mauquenchy but has the wherewithal to pick up a first-5 cheque this time
  72. HIMEROS DU GOUTIER – Honest campaigner that ran 4th of 12, a place behind GOPTION MONTAVAL (8), in a 2750m amateurs Class G at La Capelle last Saturday. Handed a good draw but seems to be biting off more than he can chew
  73. FRINGANT PACHA – Ran 2nd over course and distance before comfortably winning a 2850m Laon amateurs Class G on 1 May. Has nothing to prove under these conditions and is well-placed to give this a good go
  74. FLASH BACK DU NORD – Has raced respectably this year, most recently coming 4th of 10 in a 2825m amateurs Class G at Le Croise-Laroche on Monday, and backs up with moderate ambition
  75. HOUBLON BLEU – Made little impact when 7th of 18 in a 2825m Bernay claimer 2.5 weeks ago and the draw will do him no favours
  76. GOPTION MONTAVAL – Produced another good effort to come 3rd of 12 in a 2750m amateurs Class G at La Capelle last Saturday. Is plainly close to her race, has form under these conditions, and despite the draw can finish close
  77. GYPSIE MAGIQUE – Ran 3rd at Enghien but failed to confirm when 11th of 12 in a 2100m Vincennes amateurs Class F in late-April. Comes here fresh, is proven at the venue, and should not be overlooked
  78. GAVROCHE BOCAIN – Unexceptional 7th of 15 on comeback in a 2700m amateurs Class G at Le Croise-Laroche on 12 May and will have nothing to offer
  79. HARLEY DE JANEIRO – Last of 11 in a 2750m Elbeuf amateurs Class H a month ago. Barefoot this time but latest numbers do nothing to inspire confidence
    Summary: A quality element that has never failed to fire at Mauquenchy, JEREZ (1) may not have been seen out since last August, and races with shoes fitted, but at this level will be hard to beat. GRANADOS (2) has yet to deliver in the amateur division but is a very capable sort with a decent spot on the front line. Less favourably drawn, GOPTION MONTAVAL (8) has been progressing well and ran 3rd on her only start under these conditions. FRINGANT PACHA (5) takes on a decent lot here but is in the form of his career and has solid credentials in the day’s configuration.

  81. MULTIPASS – Has come into himself this year, most recently securing a 2750m Elbeuf Class G 2.5 weeks ago. Enjoys a decent draw and is unlikely to be far from the action at the business end of the race
  82. MASSALIA DU BOURG – Made amends for 2 straight sanctions when 3rd of 7 in a 2600m Nancy Class D last Friday. Placed nicely on front row but has no left-handed references and others easier to back
  83. MADE IN CASTELETS – Honourable 4th of 7 in a 2400m Amiens Class E 10 days ago. Races first-time left-handed and in this company seems to be taking on too much
  84. MYRIADE D’ORION – Made up for April sanction when 2nd of 9, at 34/1, in a 2550m Reims Class E on 17 May. Unlikely to repeat but is still worth keeping an eye on
  85. MUZE MAKER – Won on debut before coming 2nd of 10 in a 2700m Graignes Class E on 9 May. Starts in front and winning this is well within his capacity
  86. MICHELANGELO ZEN – Lost his maiden tag at Lyon-Parilly before finishing 6th of 7 in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle on 8 May. Ran better that day than the result would imply and it would be foolhardy to ignore his chances
  87. MARIEVA DE LOU – Well-regarded filly that ran 2nd of 12 in a 2400m Amiens Class F in early-April. Not ideally-drawn, and takes on the colts, but nevertheless has a realistic chance of opening her account
  88. MY LADY DE CAHOT – Out of the picture in all 3 starts last month, latterly 9th of 12 in a 2700m Class D at Le Croise-Laroche a fortnight ago, and can be ruled out
  89. MAYO DES FLOTS – Failed to make any impression when 9th of 12 on debut in a 2300m Le Mans Class F on 8 May. May not be an obvious choice on paper but has the wherewithal to turn a few heads
  90. MOGADOR – Sanctioned in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F a week ago. Has evident ability and even though starting on back row will be dangerous if focused
    Summary: Sent for a spell after making a solid debut at Amiens 2 months ago, MARIEVA DE LOU (8) runs left-handed for the first time but is a promising future prospect with a decent chance of getting off the mark. Robin Lamy will be justifiably wary though of the better-placed MUZE MAKER (6) who has been thoroughly professional to date. MAYO DES FLOTS (10) is better than her Le Mans bow would suggest and should be treated more favourably on this occasion. MOGADOR (11) has yet to make good on his promise but it is just a question of time.
