- FLEUR CELESTE – First timer by Goken out of the Lope de Vega mare, Ratona. She has a wide draw to contend with and may need the outing
- CARLA VELOSSO – Unraced daughter of Victor Ludorum out of the Dalakhani mare, Aksinya. Tony Piccone does duty, but she may need the experience
- DANCING EAGLE CEN – Unraced daughter of Gleneagles out of the Empire Maker mare, Daring Dancer. If not too green, she should start her career on a positive note
Summary: MADAHA QUEEN (3) has finished third in both her efforts to date. Cristian Demuro rides and she can shed her maiden tag. SEXXY (6) finished off her debut effort well and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should pose a massive threat. GOSEA (2) finished second on debut over this distance at La Teste-Bassin Arcachon. She would have come on from the outing and can go close. FRISSONANTE (1) finished behind GOSEA (2) on debut and there should not be much separating the pair.

- YUQUOT – Positive 2nd in a Group III over 1200m at Deauville on the 27th of June 2026. Must have an each way chance
Summary: JUMBOTRON (1) is in absolute fine fettle winning his two starts to date and Christophe Soumillon pilots him in which he can reel off the hattrick win. YUQUOT (9) went super close last time out in a Group III when finishing second and she looks the main threat to the top elect in this Listed event. ASKAM CHOPE (4) packs ability and cherishes the 1200m. She won’t go down without a fighting chance. BELISA BAY (8) wraps up the top four selection and will strongly make the frame.

- BLINGY’S SISTER – Credible 3rd over 1600m at Ascot on the 11th of July 2026. She has to be considered in everything as she debuts on French surfaces
- GELINOTTE – A winner over 1600m at Madrid on the 26th of April 2026. Should be acknowledged and not overlooked
Summary: ZARAXIA (5) was second in command in her last attempt in a Listed and stepping to the 1600m could find her making amends and grabbing her second Listed career success. REPEL (4) can be forgiven for her last start when running in Ascot and in this sort of smaller field, she has every chance in redeeming herself. STIMULATIVE TRIP (6) is always in the thick of things and will be firmly involved once again. BLINGY’S SISTER (8) completes the quartet mix.

- HAUTE GAMME – Inconsistent 14th in a Class 4 Handicap over 1900m at La Teste-Bassin Arcachon on the 3rd of June 2026. Erratic but capable
Summary: GET SET (1) delivered a pleasant effort when finishing sixth and he is a well-experienced soldier being a nine-time winner. His experience can prevail here. BURNING HEART (9) has run two consecutive seconds and is in a highly threatening position. He could very well strike into the winners enclosure. MYBOYFRIEND (6) should not be discounted from any betting calculations as he could make a big splash. DULINI (3) could spark this field up if they caught asleep.

- SALAMANQUE – Supplemented and finished 2nd in a maiden over 1600m at Pompadour on the 5th of July 2026. Can disrupt the finishing play
Summary: VALLOIRE (1) has been taking on a tougher sort and does take a slight step down in Class here. Maxime Guyon is served to do justice on the filly in which he can deliver. VALDERRAMA (7) has built the urge to break the maiden shackles off her hooves and after a close second last time out, she could very well execute it here. INTRIGUING (5) has a place chance here. GYMNAST (6) wraps up the mix.

- RUBENESQUE – A firm winner in a Claimer over 1400m at Dax on the 29th of June 2026. Has the ability to contest
Summary: INDY B (1) comes into the race with honest and is yet to taste success on French surfaces. She is long overdue her win and can seal it off in this event. OSHIA (3) cruised to victory last time out and it would be of no surprise if she had to follow up here. RUBENESQUE (6) broke the maiden spell in her previous outing and could be filled with confidence now. She deserves a bold mention. BLACK SOLEA (4) does return after four months and if the return does not hold her back, she can deliver a courageous effort.

- HE STAR DU CALICE – Has struggled of late and was 11th in Class H at Bagnoles-de-l’Orne over 2850m on 14 July. Did better last year and makes little appeal
- JACKPOT DE VIETTE – Not reliable but was third in Class E at Montier-en-Der over 3025m on 5 July. Might play a minor role at best

Summary: This amateur contest could offer JACKPOT DE JUMILLY (5) the perfect opportunity to bounce back after a luckless effort at Pornichet, especially returning to a track that clearly suits him. IMMIX PONT VAUTIER (1) arrives in fine nick and, despite stepping up in grade, looks a major player. HECTOR DE CORDAY (4) has a solid understanding with Guillaume Porée, commands respect. JUDICIEUSE ZAILER (3) does possess a sharp turn of foot and should be finishing strongly so must be considered a possible winner.

Summary: A fascinating contest for juvenile fillies where the spotlight falls firmly on the newcomers. OPEN ALL NIGHT (2) created a taking impression in qualification without coming off the bridle and could be anything, while the well-related OMBRE DU CHOQUEL (1) has shown the right attitude to suggest she’ll be ready to strike first time out. ONE NIGHT IN RIO (6) sets the standard of those with experience after an encouraging debut and is entitled to progress. OVATION DU CHOQUEL (5) can be forgiven a below-par introduction and is expected to leave that effort well behind, making her another to consider closely.

- NIDORINO – Finished fifth last time out in a Class C at Hyeres over 2850m on 27 May. Capable of scoring if staying in stride
Summary: NIDORINO (10) is an intriguing contender in his first start for Charley Mottier and, built for this mounted discipline, could prove a lively runner if taking to it straight away. That said, the more established NEMO VICI (6) and NIRVANA DE VANDEL (8) bring stronger credentials in the saddle and set a solid standard. NOW OR NEVER ZEN (7) is another to note closely on debut in the code.

Summary: NEW WORLD (3) shaped better than the bare result when not ideally suited by a right-handed track last time and, back going left-handed here, looks primed to strike at this level. He may have the edge, but it won’t be straightforward. NESPRESSO MIJO (2) remains a risky but talented operator capable of posing a serious threat if putting it all together, while NOBELL DALLAUCH (1) is an interesting contender with new shoeing that could unlock improvement. NOIR D’ETE (5) is also capable of contesting the finish.

- NAYA D’ERONVILLE – In good form and finished 4th in a Class C over this course and distance on 26 June. Capable of scoring
Summary: NAYA D’ERONVILLE (12) faced a stiff task in deeper company last time but drops into a far more workable contest here and looks well placed to get back on track. She sets the standard. The Raimond-trained pair NOW I’M HERE (9) and NEW PRETTY LADY (3) both take a rise in class but are open to improvement and could make their presence felt on this bigger stage. NOTRE HISTOIRE (10) appeals as solid each-way player this time.

- LUNIK DU CHOQUEL – Faulted last time out in a Class C mounted race over this course and distance on 4 July. Can bounce back and beat these rivals if staying in stride
Summary: LUNIK DU CHOQUEL (10) and KEZIO JOSSELYN (6) both bring solid credentials at this level and look the pair to beat in what appears a very winnable contest. The latter, in particular, is a potent finisher when delivered late and could prove decisive if things fall his way. KIARHA DE NAPPES (4) takes a notable drop in class and commands respect on that basis, while LATINO PURA VIDA (3) arrives on the back of an encouraging effort on turf and is another with claims.

- MANOLA DE MUZE – Disqualified twice in a row, the latest in Class E at Clairefontaine-Deauville over 2900m on 13 July. Capable of contesting the finish when staying in stride
Summary: MAGIE DES MOLLES (3) is clearly not without risk, but at her best she has the talent to land a race of this nature. If her driver can keep her settled throughout, she could well prove too strong for this field. MY QUEEN (11) arrives in excellent form and looks a major threat, while the resilient MUSIC DE BERTRANGE (10), though not the easiest ride, has the engine to feature prominently if things go her way. MANOLA DE MUZE (12) has the the ability to pick up the pieces if the principals fail to deliver.

- MALICE CAILLERIE – Disqualified in a Group I mounted race at Vincennes over 2,850m on 21 June. Drops in class and should be a real threat to these rivals
Summary: A race featuring several unreliable types, particularly at the start, which adds a layer of intrigue. MOJITA (2) is one of the more talented runners in the field and, on a going day, has the class to take this lucky last race. MALICE CAILLERIE (12) is similarly gifted but not the easiest to trust. LIBERTINE DJOB (9) returns to the mounted discipline after some solid efforts in harness and looks a serious contender if adapting smoothly. ION DES ISLES (11) may lack the same raw ability but is capable of capitalising should the principals fail to keep things together.

Summary: The second-row starters could hold the key here, with MISTRAL DE KACY (12) looking a leading contender if he keeps his mind on the job. He has the ability to win a race of this nature with a clean run. MACHTWO DU MORTIER (10) is given another chance after failing to deliver a few days ago. MY WORLD QUICK (11) produced a respectable effort at Marseille-Borély last month and looks well capable of making the frame in this company. MARLEY D’ERI (6) is edging back towards peak form and should not be overlooked as a potential contender.

LUPIN DE SIOULE (10) faces a less-than-ideal engagement but still deserves plenty of respect on his overall profile. LOUNA D’OR (12), if reproducing her best form, has the ability to make a major impact and should not be overlooked.

KAPITANO DREAM (11) has formed an excellent partnership with his apprentice and is a serious threat. KOOL CRISTAL (9) is better than his latest effort and can bounce back to score. KAIROS JULRY (6) is in peak form and could prove dangerous from his favourable starting position.

- LUCKY CYNASOSO – Only modest of late and finished 6th in a Class E at Feurs over 2,850m on 20 June. Has claims in an open looking race
Summary: LAERTE DU GOUTIER (9) has yet to fully reflect his ability in terms of earnings and arrives here with genuine ambitions for a leading finish. LUCKY CYNASOSO (16) could prove the main threat, with his trainer opting to race him barefoot in a bid to unlock his full potential. LE WINNER AS (12) is a model of consistency and deserves a winning turn. LUGANO (15) was only narrowly denied when finishing fifth behind that rival last time and should not be dismissed in this competitive event.

Summary: A competitive lucky last race. JAVELOT DE HOUELLE (11) has been a solid performer in this Trophée Vert des Amateurs and, despite only managing fifth at Royan last week, arrives here with every chance of bouncing back. KISS BOY (9) looks a major threat on his return to a grade where he has consistently performed well. KEIKO DU CHALET (6) is quite capable of contesting the finish. JUSSIE (2) also has the ability to get involved if things go her way.

SIJOUX (9) has a favourable racing weight and looks capable of making a strong impact. LETTYT FIGHT (3) has finished third on her last three starts and appeals as the most reliable each-way option.

Summary: CHEERIO (2) won well on his sole start at Le Mans in April. He has been given some time and has solid claims of following up. His main threat could be ENTLEBUCH (4), who a a decent second at Vittel on his latest start in a Class 3 race 20 days ago. HEY JO (6) was not beaten far in a good handicap last time at Compiegne and can not be excluded. THE PISTOL STAR (7) makes up the shortlist.
