C1 – PRIX DE VIROFLAY – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 24,700

  1. SHALAZI – Finished 3rd in a Conditions race at Lyon-Parilly over 2200m on 29 March. Has run well in both starts and can contest the finish
  2. THE ODYSSEY – Needed the experience when 7th on debut in a Conditions race at this track over 2100m on 5 April. Can bounce back and score
  3. ROMAN BOY – Finished 8th on debut in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on 17 April. Likely to prefer this distance but more is needed to score
  4. TRIPLE SEPT – Finished 9th on debut in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on 29 March. Capable of improvement but others make more appeal
  5. MASARO – Showed some promise when runner-up in a Conditions race at this track over 2100m on 5 April. Can go one place better
  6. ZARLAND – Finished 5th in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 2100m on 3 April. Has some fair form and could earn some money
  7. ROI DE LA LIBERTE – Consistent and finished 4th in a Group III race at this track over 1800m on 5 April. Fitter this time and should fight out the finish
  8. NOBLE MEMORY – Finished 7th on debut in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on 17 April. Tries further and is capable of improvement. Others are preferred
  9. MAKAN – A good debut when 3rd in a Conditions race at this track over 2100m on 5 April. Capable of making the frame again
    Summary: An interesting race. THE ODYSSEY (2) did not get a clear run on debut. It would not be a surprise if he were to improve and beat these rivals. MASARO (5) was ahead of that rival that day and is also capable of improvement, so must be respected. SHALAZI (1) has run well in both starts and can make the frame again. ROI DE LA LIBERTÉ (7) only tired late in a Group 3 last time out and is also capable of scoring.

  12. ALMARIS – Showed promise on debut when 3rd in a Conditions race at this track over 2100m on 5 April. Can be competitive once again
  13. LEIA ORGANA – Has run well in both starts and finished 3rd in a Conditions race at Chantilly over1900m on 26 March. Tries the grass but is not out of it

  16. ROSE NOIR – Showed some improvement when 4th in a Conditions race at Chantilly over 1900m on 26 March. Might play a minor role trying the turf
  17. KISSES – A three-year-old filly by Showcasing out of Como Te Llamas who is making her debut. Her Dam never won a race after 3 starts. Could need this experience
    Summary: REGAL CHIME (5) showed promise on debut and the form has worked out well, as the winner has since been placed in a Listed race. She looks the one to beat. There was not much between ALMARIS (3) and ETINCELLE (6) when they met on debut, and it is possible those placings will be reversed this time around. PLACE DE L’OPERA (2) was only modest on debut, but improvement looks very likely and she could make the frame.

    Summary: ARISTOS (12) has shown improvement this year and was a solid winner of a handicap last time out. He does carry a penalty for that success but can double up, as he will be full of confidence. CARTAAM (7) has been consistent of late and should be involved with the finish once again. MISSION D’ESPOIR (4) is not reliable but is weighted to be right there at the finish. BATURHAN (10) is not reliable but is capable of making the frame.

  39. MARIE DE PRUSSE – Has shown improvement of late and was runner-up in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2400m on 10 April. Can go one place better
  40. ROMANE LAHRA – Unreliable but did finish third in a claimer at Nort-sur-Erdre over 2500m on 5 April. Needs to do more to beat these rivals
  41. BRIVIDO MOON – Yet to win a race but was fifth in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2400m on 10 April. Improving and could earn some money
  42. SHIVA FLOWER – Has yet to win a race but is improving and finished fourth in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2400m on 10 April. Should contest the finish

MARIE DE PRUSSE (8) showed improvement and had a number of these rivals behind her last time out at Saint-Cloud. She can go one better, with further improvement likely. SHIVA FLOWER (11) is looking for a first success and is improving, so must be respected. CAMELARUA (2) seems better than her recent form and could be a threat. REMOONDER (13) did not run badly last time out and is another to consider.

    Summary: A renewed rivalry between the top four choices as they met in their last start and are confidently selected to fill in the top four placings.

  72. SILVER CONDOR – Finished 8th in a Class 4 Handicap over 2000m at Compiegne on the 25th of April 2026. Others seem more intriguing
    Summary: OLYA (11) polished up well in her last run when finishing second and a repetition of her last attempt can see her going one step closer here. PERIHELIO (3) can be forgiven for his last three starts when taking on Class 3 Handicaps and now steps down in division where he can be more effective. TEARDROP EXPLODES (7) is always there and thereabout and should make her presence well felt. ZOLIA (5) heads the rest.

  87. BLOWN BY THE WIND – Discouraging 8th in a Class 4 Handicap over 1600m at Nantes on the 14th of April 2026. Others seem more intriguing
    Summary: LA BONITA (13) is a honest sort and always finds herself flashing up late against her opposition. She last won almost two years ago and it seems about time for her to claim her second career win. LONDONPOLO (4) seems to enjoy the 2000m and is yet to taste success. He meets a field where he could shed the maiden shackles off his hooves. NARCOS (1) conquered his opponents last time out and the well-experienced soldier could school this field. NEUSCHWANSTEIN (6) completes the quartet mix.

  102. ROYALWOOD – A winner in a Class 2 Handicap over 1200m at Chantilly on the 14th of April 2026. Prefers the sprint trips
  103. ALPARSLAN – Discouraging 8th in a Class 2 Handicap over 1200m at Chantilly on the 14th of April 2026. Others seem more intriguing
    Summary: JUSEARTH FAL (6) and HALF HALF (14) meet again when both candidates faced off at Parislongchamp last time out and certainly boasts solid form to fill in the first and second place positions here. TORTISAMBERT (1) romped home into the winners box over the distance in his previous attempt and if the top two fluff their lines, he is the worthy one to take full advantage of it. TEN HORNS (3) deserves serious consideration and will hold a podium chance. KRASHKOV (9) should not be discounted from any betting calculations.

    R2 DIEPPE [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DU BUISSONNET – 3200m (a2m) – TURF – Newcomers – Hurdles – EUR € 24,000

  1. MINDANAO – Gelding by Masked Marvel, the dam won 3 races on the flat. From the David Cottin stable that will have this newcomer well prepared. Merits consideration
  2. STRIKE IT RICH – Gelding by Rich History, the dam never ran. Stable runners are well prepared and any market support could be informative
  3. SOMMERKONIG – Two unplaced runs on the flat, the latter over 1600m in a maiden at Le Mans on October 29th. Has joined a top stable that can produce first time out winners over hurdles
  4. NOUVEL ESPOIR – Gelding by Moises Has, the dam won 1 race over hurdles. He should improve for this run and is best watched on his racecourse debut
  5. TROTINETTE – Gelding by Beaumec De Houelle, won 3 races over jumps. From a top trainer that can get one ready to strike on debut. Bold show expected
  6. NAR KANJI – Gelding by Bathyrhon, the dam won 2 races over jumps. Looks good on paper and can make his presence felt on debut
  7. NOKIA DES MOTTES – Gelding by Hunter’s Light, the dam ran twice over jumps. From a top trainer that knows the time of day. The betting patterns can be informative
  8. MOISE JUNIOR – Gelding by Silverwave, the dam won 1 race on the flat. Some good aspects to his profile. Any market support should be noted
  9. ZOOK – Gelding by Roman Candle, the dam ran once over hurdles. One to monitor in the betting for any market support
  10. KENTUCKY D’ALCO – Gelding by Karaktar, the dam won 3 races over jumps. Respected from a top stable that can ready a newcomer to strike on debut

  13. LANSKY – Gelding by For Fun, the dam won 5 races over jumps. Might improve a good deal for this run unless the betting vibes are strong
  14. GYPSY BEAT – Two unplaced runs on the flat, the latter over 1675m at Nottingham (UK) on October 23rd. Hurdling debut and others make more appeal
    Summary: TROTINETTE (5) has a taking pedigree and will be well tuned by his astute trainer. He could be the first string of the trainer’s two in the race. KENTUCKY D’ALCO (10) is out of a useful mare that won three races over jumps. He can have a say on his debut, as can SOMMERKONIG (3), who showed some talent on the flat and will be well schooled by his trainer. KALON GLAZ (12) is from a good stable and is worth a market check.

  24. JULIETTE DE THEYSS – Filly by Bande, the dam won 4 races on the flat. Her trainer will have this filly nicely prepared and she is one to monitor in the betting for clues
  25. PRINCESS DINO – Filly by Doctor Dino, the dam won 1 race over jumps. Should know more after this debut run and others are preferred
  26. LARAYA – Filly by Beaumec De Houelle, the dam ran a few times on the flat. Should be better for this run and others make more appeal
  27. RAFFLES JET – Filly by Doctor Dino, the dam won 4 races over jumps, including a Grade 3 hurdle and was Listed placed. Ought to be thereabouts on her first day at school
  28. WHOISSHE – Filly by Goliath Du Berlais, the dam was unraced. One to watch closely in the betting for any support
  29. KAPFADAS – Filly by Kapgarde, the dam won 4 races including a Listed hurdle. From a respected trainer that knows how to ready a newcomer. In the mix
    Summary: KIFF AND KISS (8) is well-bred out of a mare that won 9 races, including a Listed over hurdles and fences, and a Grade 1 chase. She will be well schooled and get off the mark on her debut. NANA THOM (1), has the experience of one run on the flat when showing talent. She is worth a market check, as is DORADE BLEUE (9), who has a taking profile and is one to pay attention to. INGENUITY (3) is from a top trainer and has a good young claiming rider on top. She is worth considering.

  30. SILVER BUCKLE – Two unplaced runs of late in Listed hurdles, the latter on March 11th, 2nd in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil over 3600m on September 23rd and she should do well over fences
  31. LAIKA TEK – Nice effort to be 2nd over 3550m in a Class 3 hurdle at Fontainebleau on April 15th. Tries fences and has the scope to do well in this code
  32. LITCHI ROQUE – Three unplaced runs of late, 5th at Compiegne over 3450m in a Class 2 chase on April 6th. Can be overlooked
  33. MAIRYGARDE DE MEE – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 3600m over hurdles at Senonnes on March 13th. Little to recommend
  34. MARIANNE DU CHENET – Placed twice on two of her last three runs over fences, 4th on the latter at Fontainebleau in a Class 4 over 3600m on March 29th. Merits consideration

  36. MENTION BIEN – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 3600m at Auteuil in a Class 2 hurdle on February 14th. Chasing debut and warrants respect

  38. MUSISTAR – Placed 4th on her chasing bow at La Roche-Sur-Lyon on April 19th over 4200m in a Class 5 race. Others make more appeal
  39. MOON LIGHT ALLEN – Recent success on her third start over 3700m at Le Lion D’Angers in a Class 3 hurdle on April 5th. One to keep onside
    Summary: LAIKA TEK (2) might be the answer to this competitive race over fences. She will be well schooled by her astute trainer and is preferred ahead of SILVER BUCKLE (1), who has been contesting Listed hurdles recently. She has the size to do well over fences. CHOEUR DE GRIVE (8) has won over hurdles and ran well in a Class 1 hurdle at Compiegne last time out in late March. She enters calculations on her chase debut, as does MOON LIGHT ALLEN (10), who scored over hurdles earlier this month and heads the rest.

  45. KNIGHTOFTHEFOREST – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3600m at Auteuil in a Class 2 hurdle on April 2nd. Won on the flat but needs to show more than his hurdles debut to be involved

  48. MADE IN VILLERETS – Two unplaced runs on the flat, the latter over 2900m at Argentan in a conditions race on March 6th. Might find this difficult
  49. HERE BE DRAGONS – Unraced by Doctor Dino, the dam did not run. From a top stable that will have this gelding well tuned. Bold show can be expected
  50. MARTAGNAN D ATHON – Two solid efforts on the flat, a win on debut in November and a 2nd last time over 2900m at Durtal on December 14th. Hurdles bow and worth strong attention
  51. VAUTOUR DU BERLAIS – Finished 7th on his debut at Durtal in a Class 4 race over 2900m on March 22nd. Hurdles debut and holds each-way claims
  52. DEMASKETOI – Placed 3rd on his sole start over 3200m at Nort-Sur-Erdre in a Class 4 race on the flat on April 5th. Has work to do on hurdles debut
  53. MOISE MADRIK – Gelding on debut by Moises Has, the dam won 6 races over jumps. Looks good on paper and can play a prominent role on debut
  54. BABAAS – Finished 6th at Royan in a Class 4 race over 2900m on April 4th on the flat. Tries hurdles and should do well in this code
  55. CRIN DE LUNE – Two unplaced efforts over hurdles, the most recent over 3550m in a claiming hurdle at Fontainebleau on February 26th. Hard to fancy
    Summary: HERE BE DRAGONS (10) has a good profile and is from a good stable that will have this gelding nicely schooled. He will be expected to play a lead role on his racecourse debut. MADISON ROQUE (1) could be the biggest threat and ran a good race at Fontainebleau in a Class 4 hurdle when second in early October. He will be fit to go. CHATEAU ESQUIULE (2) won on the flat and can step forward from a pleasing third on debut over hurdles late in March and be involved. MARTAGNAN D ATHON (11) heads the rest.

  69. MERVEILLE D’ETOILE – Unplaced on her one run on the flat over 2900m at Durtal on March 22nd. Tries hurdles and from a trainer that does well with this type of filly
  70. NEUF DE PAQUES – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2400m at Saint-Cloud in a maiden race on March 25th. Clear talent on the flat and is one to respect on hurdles debut

    Summary: DESIRE PARADISE (3) ran well to be fourth at Fontainebleau in a Class 4 hurdle 15 days ago and she can improve for that run. She is given the nod over GOLDIDAME (4), who showed promise when fifth at La Teste on April 1st on debut over hurdles, and is open to improvement. LUNAROSA (7) showed some talent at Moulins on her sole start, before getting tired and more can be expected today. FOMALHAUT (11) has a nice pedigree and is worth a market check on debut.

He looks hard to oppose and can score at the expense of KART DE THAIX (4), who was a decent third in a Class 2 chase in late November at Compiegne when last seen.

    Summary: JOYEUSE ROQUE (6) ran a decent race when sixth in the Prix Alain Du Bresil Hurdle (Gr.1) over 3900m on May 21st when last seen and will be more at home in much clamer waters today. She can score from VISMIE (4), who will not lack fitness and was a pleasing third in a Class 1 hurdle at Compiegne late in March. BLUENESS (7) looks like a sensible option for the each way backers to latch on to and SAISHO (10) makes up the shortlist.

  1. NIGHT OPAJELO – Yet to show any particular flair for the game. Paul Ploquin in the saddle this time but still not a priority
  2. NOUMEA JENILOU – Switches code after her debut elimination under harness at Caen 2.5 weeks ago. Adrien Lamy in the irons and should not be overlooked
  3. NATASHA DES BAUX – Modest filly switching codes for first time following a harness conditioner at Elbeuf, and is not about to create an upset
  4. NAVY D’EURVAD – Placed here first time out but eliminated in next 2. Hind pads fitted for the occasion and can play a part if she keeps her action together
  5. NACARA BELLA – Decent element taking first competitive ridden steps after a much-needed freshener at Pontchateau 2.5 weeks ago, and the engagement of Eric Raffin speaks volumes. Chance
  6. NEMESIS DU METZ – Ran respectable 3rd of 5 finishers on monte debut 2 weeks ago in a Toulouse Class D. Is confirmed going left-handed but may just be taking on too much this time
  7. NEPHY ELDE – Ran 4th at Enghien first time out prior to being trounced over the inner course here mid-month, and can be confidently passed over
  8. NORMA FIRST – Lost her maiden status in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E on 5 April. Takes on a better lot this time and Benjamin Rochard has opted for NUEVA DE VANDEL (9)
  9. NUEVA DE VANDEL – Runner-up in 2 before faulting over the inner course here on 14 April. Benjamin Rochard gets the nod this time and will not be far off the mark if he manages to keep his filly focused
  10. NOBLE QUEEN – Convincing winner of a 2150m Argentan harness Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Has had the monte discipline on her agenda for some time and looks thoroughly capable of getting straight down to business
  11. NYX DE VAL – Returns to the monte code after a harness freshener at Chateaubriant last week. Showed serious potential at Vincennes in February and will be justifiably well-backed. Chance
  12. NINA JAVO – Easily lost her maiden status in a 2450m Caen Class E on 25 March and even though in better company this time, still looks a serious player
    Summary: Like a different horse since starting to race in her current configuration, NOBLE QUEEN (10) takes to the monte code after opening her harness account at Argentan, and Mathieu Mottier will be expecting to double his money. Runner-up over the inner course on her sole ridden start, NYX DE VAL (11) is very easy to like, as is the reconfigured monte debutante NACARA BELLA (5) who will be partnered by Eric Raffin. Nicely-engaged here, NINA JAVO (12) has demonstrated very good aptitude for the discipline and Victor Saussaye will be legitimately confident of a big performance.

  14. MEWTWO – Lightly-raced colt that has endured an interrupted career. Is competitively-shod for the first time but latest figures do little to inspire confidence
  15. MOONLIGHT DU RHIN – Acquitted himself respectably on comeback but was quickly eliminated here late last month and is unlikely to shake things up
  16. MIGHTY DREAM – In the frame in all 3 starts this year, latterly 2nd in a Class E over course and distance a fortnight ago. Steps up in category but goes barefoot and can play a leading role
  17. MUZE MAKER – Has taken particularly well to racing barefoot, most recently outclassing the opposition in a Lyon-Parilly Class E mid-month. Has earned the right to step up in category and should prove main threat to MAVERICK DE FAEL (8)
  18. MISTER D’ECROVILLE – Eliminated in 2 of last 4 but has otherwise been in fine form. Surprise 3rd in a 2100m Class D here 3 weeks ago and will not be available at 43-1 this time
  19. MAROLY – Serious gelding that has yet to get into his stride this term but can play a small role if his driver-trainer gets him off on the right foot
  20. MAVERICK DE FAEL – Quality individual that gave a fine account of himself on re-entry when 4th in an Argentan Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Will not be sent out at 84-1 this time, and it would be surprising were he not to win this
  21. MALDRIC D’ECHAL – Useful on a good day but out of the picture in last 2. Debuts, shod, for new trainer though and can start to redeem himself. First 5
  22. MILLIUM QUESNOT – Can trot but is no champion. Has just the one race under his belt since the break though and in this company is not about to cause an upset
  23. MAGELLANO SUN – Has done nothing but improve this term, most recently putting in a fine finish at Mauquenchy, and is unlikely to let the side down
    Summary: Winner of 3 from 4 prior to being put away last September, MAVERICK DE FAEL (8) will have come on for his recent comeback run and, sporting 4 pads for the first time, will be expected to take all the beating. That said, MUZE MAKER (5) has done everything asked of him lately and his recent Lyon performance bodes particularly well for his chances. MIGHTY DREAM (4) has been knocking at the door recently and will be first-time barefoot. MISTER D’ECROVILLE (6) can prove a handful but is patently in shape and will have his chances if Matthias Legros assures his initial strides.

  25. MEDICIS DU BOCAGE – Lost her maiden status on comeback earlier in the month when securing a Bihorel-lès-Rouen Class F. A repeat, however, looks highly unlikely
  26. MELODY CHANTEREINE – Got back in the game at Lisieux on 14 March, coming 2nd in a 2725m Class F. Is new to Vincennes but can play a role if she takes to the new profile
  27. MA PIECE D’OR – Has been kept on the boil under harness since opening her account at Cordemais in early-March. Will be barefoot this time and can bring the fight to MISS DE BAILLE (8) provided Alexandre Abrivard keeps her focused
  28. MAMMA MIA DE LOU – Has not been seen under the saddle since last June but is clearly in form. Paul Ploquin in the irons and, with application, can trot her way into the frame
  29. MAYBE DU CEBE – Sent for a break after opening her account across town last October. Will have progressed for her return run, will be reunited with Benjamin Rochard, and must be afforded respect
  30. MALAGA DU DIGEON – Has yet to get off the mark but regularly goes close. Has not been seen out since early-January but will be competitively-shod with Eric Raffin aboard and must not be overlooked
  31. MISS DE BAILLE – Eliminated more often than not but has bags of ability. Would have fought out the finish here early this month had she not faulted mid-straight and Mathieu Mottier will be keen to put things right
  32. MAJUSCULE – 25 starts and yet to lose her maiden tag. Has been acquitting herself honourably though and in present shape can get a look in
  33. MENTION GRAVE – In the frame in last 2 monte starts, both at Toulouse. Takes on a much bigger task this time around and chances appear limited
  34. MAGGIOTTA – Is not without merit but will need to improve on latest effort here. Is barefoot for the occasion but still represents no more than a minor place chance
  35. MY FAIR LADY – Ran 3rd under harness in a Meslay-du-Maine Class E on 17 March before confirming under the saddle over the inner course here on 3 April. Is barefoot for the occasion and is not about to let the side down
    Summary: Winner at Meslay-du-Maine on 17 March before being eliminated when competitive over the inner course early this month, MISS DE BAILLE (8) is plainly close to winning another and can pull it off if Mathieu Mottier manages to keep her trotting. She will still come under pressure from a barefoot MA PIECE D’OR (4) who demonstrated considerable monte aptitude earlier in the season, and the talented but complicated MAMMA MIA DE LOU (5) who showed her form after being eliminated here mid-month. MAYBE DU CEBE (6) has a conditioner under her belt since the winter break and, barefoot for the first time, will be no pushover.

  37. NOOR DU CAMPUS – Should not be too hastily-judged for coming 5th in a 2175m Class B here late last month. Form is not in question and will be reunited with Alexandre Abrivard who won with her here in February
  38. NO ONE – Won over the short course here on 20 March before failing to confirm over 2175m 2 weeks ago. Partners again with Mathieu Mottier who scored with her last month and is unlikely to be far from the action
  39. NUIT MYSTIC – In the frame in 3 of 4 this term, latterly 3rd to NEW WAVE (10) in a Class C over course and distance on 31 March. Has ground to make up though and others easier to back
  40. NIKKI BEACH JISCE – Like a horse reborn this season, winning 2 for 2. Should have no issues with the main track and Eric Raffin can be forgiven for feeling bullish
  41. NEW YORK CITY – Takes to the main course for the first time after having won a 2200m Class D here on 14 April. Takes on some superior horses this time but can nevertheless hold her own
  42. NOUMEA DES BROUETS – Gave a very good account here on 31 March when 2nd to NEW WAVE (10) in a Class C over course and distance. Has been knocking at the door since her first competitive steps and will be rewarded with victory one of these days
  43. NOT ALONE – Takes to the main track for the first time after twice placing in the southwest, but appears to be biting off more than she can chew
  44. NO LIMIT DELO – Useful filly from a yard in excellent shape. Has acquitted herself well in both starts this season and it will not be long before she makes her way back into the winners’ circle
  45. NEW WAVE – Convincing winner of a Class C over track and trip on 31 March. Will be reined by Matthieu Abrivard this time and will be no soft touch
  46. NEREIDA – Back under harness after being eliminated early in a monte Class A under these conditions last week, and is unlikely to spring any surprises
    Summary: After winning unopposed at Laval on her comeback, NIKKI BEACH JISCE (5) went on to comfortably impose over the inner course next time and trainer Jocelyn Robert will be justifiably confident of securing the hat-trick. Eric Raffin will still be keeping an eye on NO LIMIT DELO (9) who is clearly on the right road, and NEW WAVE (10) who climbs the category-ladder after opening her account over course and distance a month back. NOUMEA DES BROUETS (7) is still chasing that elusive first win but ran close 2nd to Raffin’s horse last month and must be taken seriously.

  47. LOIR ET CHER – Modest trotter going barefoot following a modest comeback at La Capelle recently and can be ruled out
  48. LEADER ATOUT – Ran 4th in a 2175m Class E here on 11 April after having imposed at Mauquenchy 9 days earlier, and is eminently capable of making the frame
  49. LARIMAR – Has gone from strength to strength since moving yards, latterly easily winning an Argentan Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is unlikely to repeat but can nevertheless challenge for a place on the podium
  50. LYS GEMA – Has enjoyed a productive run of form since beginning to race barefoot. Is new to Vincennes but is clearly a serious Sassier second-string and must be respected
  51. LORD DES GRANGES – Form has done nothing but regress since placing in a Class E under these conditions on 14 January, and can be confidently disregarded
  52. LUGANO – Showed considerable improvement when 2nd in a 2800m Villedieu-les-Poëles Class E 11 days ago, but has little love for Vincennes and others easier to back
  53. LUCHADOR – Looked very ordinary when 9th of 10 finishers behind LEADER ATOUT (2) in a 2175m Class E here on 11 April. Is not entirely devoid of talent though and can pick up some minor honours
  54. LORD DE CHENU – Has not been seen out since imposing at Laval on 18 February, but clearly means business, and will be unsurprisingly well-backed to win this
  55. LITCHI CASTELETS – Serious type that has finished 2nd in 3 of last 4 starts. Benefits from a terrific entry though and, already a winner for Eric Raffin, can give LORD DE CHENU (8) something to think about
    Summary: Winner of 6 of his last 7 starts, most recently over 2 months ago at Laval, LORD DE CHENU (8) is nevertheless configured as he was when dominating a Class E over course and distance in January, and can get straight back in the game. Louis Baudouin will still be mindful of the marginally better-engaged LITCHI CASTELETS (9) who has been knocking at the door since the start of his season, and the in-form LEADER ATOUT (2) who is better than his latest result would suggest. LARIMAR (3) excels in his current configuration and makes his Vincennes bow with a good hand to play.

  56. LOVER JULMA – Handy element making first appearance since failing to deliver here on 19 February, and is going to need the run
  57. LE GRAAL – Has started to come good again over recent weeks. Goes barefoot for the first time and from the 2-spot must not be underestimated
  58. LOUNA DU LOCHEUR – Quality mare that has not put a foot out of line for some time. Is competitively-shod, has placed in 2 of 3 under these conditions, and has a realistic chance of making the frame once more
  59. LUTELLIA MONNERIE – Pleased in both starts over course and distance but has struggled of late and is unlikely to spice things up
  60. LAUSSAC DU BUISSON – Returns to racing barefoot after prepping on a saturated Enghien track last month. Could not have asked for a better entry and Franck Nivard will be minded to deliver
  61. LUCIANO VREDEBEST – Fine trotter that clinched victory on comeback in a Meslay-du-Maine Class E earlier in the month. Will have progressed for the race and is sufficiently well-placed to make a big splash
  62. LORELEI DE REUX – Surprising 4th in an Ecommoy Class D early this month, however a repeat seems most improbable
  63. LOUISON – Has raced and placed at a superior level but sports pads for comeback and can be ruled out
  64. LYANA D’ARC – Unlucky 3rd in a Class D under these conditions on 14 April. Not ideally-drawn but is clearly in excellent shape and Mathieu Mottier will be keen to set the record straight
  65. LUTIN JABA – Starts for the first time since May 2025 and with shoes fitted will have nothing to offer
  66. LEVEL ONE SYGA – Never far from faulting but has otherwise been in fine shape. Stays shod in a bid to reproduce his Enghien victory but faces a much stiffer test this time around
  67. LUSANIO DE WARNOC – Smartly won a 2700m Class D here earlier in the month, but under these conditions is unlikely to confirm
  68. LOUANGE CASTELETS – Has not got her nose in front for some time but will have come on for her re-entry run and will not be far from the action if Anthony Barrier successfully navigates the start
  69. LIL BOSS ONLY – Wonderfully dependable type with solid references here, latterly 3rd under these conditions 3 weeks ago. Was handed a poor draw that day too but will be barefoot and must be worth retaining
  70. LAGO DE PERVENCHE – Previously a good sort but has made no impact so far this term and is unlikely to start now
    Summary: Terrifically-engaged, ideally-placed in front, and barefoot as he was when successful under these conditions in January, LAUSSAC DU BUISSON (5) is easy to fancy for the win. Franck Nivard will still want to be wary though of the Vincennes-liking LUCIANO VREDEBEST (6) who was victorious on his comeback at Meslay-du-Maine 3 weeks ago, and the consistent LOUNA DU LOCHEUR (3) who sports a fresh configuration for the occasion. LYANA D’ARC (9) was unlucky here mid-month and even in spite of a tough number, should nevertheless give this a good go.

  71. KARMEN DE MONTCEAU – Out of the picture in all 3 starts this year and has nothing to contribute here
  72. KALITY D’ERABLE – Not the most dependable of horses but can trot. Goes barefoot following her return run and, with her mind on the game, can pick up a cheque
  73. KEJAIME DE HOUELLE – Faces first objective of the season after her re-entry at Meslay-du-Maine last month. Has won all 5 races with Benjamin Rochard and should again acquit herself competitively
  74. KISS ME DE MADKER – Steps back up in category after running 3rd in a Graignes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Has been reconfigured for the occasion, with Eric Raffin at the helm this time, and should prove competitive when it matters
  75. KABALVA – 4th to KALIAKIE PHEDO (9) at Meslay-du-Maine before failing to impress in an amateurs Class G here early this month, and can be passed over
  76. KELOMA DREAM – Back in the capital after running fine 2nd in an Ecommoy Class D in early-April. is plainly close to her race and should prove main threat to KALIAKIE PHEDO (9)
  77. KISS ME DU LIVET – Barring a pair of sanctions, has hardly put a foot wrong this term. In this company though is unlikely to set off any fireworks
  78. KRACOTTE VERGNIER – Has not put a foot wrong since imposing at Cagnes on 18 December. Is confirmed at the venue, with a top pilot reining, and can finish close
  79. KALIAKIE PHEDO – Serious mare back in race-mode after being prepped at Chateaubriant last week, and a repeat of her Meslay-du-Maine performance would see her impose
  80. KANELLE STAR – Useful on a good day but has not had many of those recently and cannot be considered a priority
    Summary: Simply dynamic when shod as she is, KALIAKIE PHEDO (9) returns to Vincennes in top shape and, with application, can impose. She will still be opposed by KELOMA DREAM (6) who has been particularly competitive lately, and KEJAIME DE HOUELLE (3) who will be shod to preference following a necessary freshener at Meslay-du-Maine. Consistently-performant when barefoot and focused, KRACOTTE VERGNIER (8) has yet to disappoint here and the engagement of Mathieu Mottier will only enhance her prospects.

  81. JOKER DU PONT – Opened her seasonal account in a 2825m Chartres Class F mid-March at 45-1 and even with Gabriele Gelormini in the bike this time is unlikely to repeat
  82. ICE HAUFOR – Has been out of sorts since last September and although reconfigured is not about to spring any surprises
  83. I LOVE IGNY – Pleasant 4th in a Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 10 days ago, but will have a mountain to climb this time
  84. JYTRACE DE HOUELLE – Serious individual that seldom disappoints when barefoot. Imposed under these conditions late last year, has never failed to deliver for Mathieu Mottier, and appears to have a good hand to play
  85. JUSTICIA GLAM – Beat JAG HAUFOR (11) in a 2100m Class E here on 27 March before being conditioned at Meslay-du-Maine 3 weeks ago. Has form with Benjamin Rochard and can again finish close
  86. JOYCE DES GRANGES – Has not won since last August but consistently gives what she can. Has never excelled over 2175m here but will nevertheless have her supporters
  87. INSTALL D’ALOUETTE – Considerably better than recent numbers would imply, most recently very unlucky in a 2700m Class E here a fortnight back, and will not be going home empty-handed if kept out of harm’s way
  88. ILARIA KILY – Has been enjoying something of a renaissance recently, winning 2 on the trot. Is confirmed at the venue and is not without a chance of picking up minor honours
  89. JADE RENARDIER – Superb in first 3 starts this year only to be found wanting in 27 March race of reference. Excels with Anthony Barrier though and has a realistic chance of contesting the finish
  90. JALDO D’OCQUE – Has been firing on all cylinders since early last month, winning 2 of last 3. Has no love for the venue but in current condition is very hard to ignore
  91. JAG HAUFOR – Denied a run, finishing 6th behind JUSTICIA GLAM (5), in a 2100m Class E here on 27 March. Is plainly in rude health though and can redeem himself if kept out of trouble
  92. JOYEUSE ENTREE – Tends to show more in the monte code these days and best to keep one’s powder dry
  93. ILLICO DE BOUTEAU – Got back in the winners’ circle 2.5 weeks ago at Saint-Omer but in this company will struggle to make his presence felt
    Summary: Rather unlucky over 2100m here late last month, JAG HAUFOR (11) is clearly better than his result would suggest and David Thomain will be out to put things right. JUSTICIA GLAM (5) ran a surprise 3rd that day, is barefoot this time, and can again figure prominently, but may first have to see off JADE RENARDIER (9) who clearly has a point to prove. JALDO D’OCQUE (10) is not a big Vincennes fan but he is patently at the top of his game and will be reunited with Matthieu Abrivard.

  1. KENOR DES LANDES – Has been kept to harness races and was victorious last time out in a claimer at Meslay-du-Maine over 2900m on 4 April. Might play a minor role trying a mounted race
  2. LATINO BOY – Has only been modest this year and was 6th in a Class G mounted race at Castillonnès over 2450m on 5 April. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  3. LATINO ELDE – In good form and was runner-up in a Class F mounted race at Reims over 2550m on 15 April. Should fight out the finish once again
  4. KASTILLE – Disqualified last time out at Aix-les-Bains over 2000m on 3 August. Hard to trust and should need this run returning from a break

    Summary: LATINO ELDE (3) has been in good form of late and his performance at Reims earlier this month suggested a winning turn is not far away. LEGENDE DES ÉCUS (9) is unreliable but is also capable of going one place better on his run at Toulouse a few weeks ago. KOME ON ERCA (10) needed his only run of this year and races without shoes this time, so could strike. JAGERSRO (11) is not easy to trust but is quite capable of scoring when smart.

  16. LIKE A PRAYER – Has some fair recent form and was 5th in Class E at Laval over 2850m on 28 March. Can do better and is not out of it

LOULIANA DE VANDEL (10) was in good form before her disappointing last run but can bounce back to score. LORA SCOTIA (6) is fitter this time and has a good record with this shoeing, so would not be a surprise winner. LANISTER SMART (1) returned from a break to win on the grass and might well double up.

    Summary: A very open-looking race. KATSUKI (15) has tended to be unreliable, but his last run was a good performance and he may well go one better this time. KANDY VENESI (4) has been in very good form this year and would not be a surprise winner. KING DODVILLE (6) returns from a break but is talented and could contest the finish if fit enough.

  76. MAESTRO ECUS – Finished 3rd in class C at Vincennes over 2850m on 3 June. Returns from a long break and could need this run
    Summary: MYSTIC RED (1) does look a classy sort, so could overcome a break and beat these rivals if fit enough. MILORD DU CHÂTELET (2) mixes disqualifications and successes but is a threat to these rivals. MISTRAL DU REGENCY (10) continues to hold form and should be involved with the finish yet again. MALANDRINO (7) is an unreliable sort but is capable of contesting the finish when in the right frame of mind.
