    Summary: Trained by the in-form Francis-Henri Graffard, ZANELLA VELASCA (5) is likely to attract plenty of support and looks a major player. LEARNING (4), a €200,000 yearling purchase, is another who should be popular in the market and has plenty to recommend her. Zagora was a champion on the track but has not been quite as successful as a broodmare, although RYMSKHAYA (7) still deserves close attention. REINA SIOUX (8) has an interesting profile, is another to consider.

  39. VIBRATO – Unplaced in a Class 3 Handicap at Deauville over 1,500m on 2 August. Better on the grass but cannot be ruled out
    Summary: This looks wide open for the win, with PIERRE PREMIER (6) taken to come out on top despite tackling a shorter trip than usual, having not raced over this distance for some time. He has, however, landed an excellent draw and can take advantage. WILD MOOR (3) is capable of making the running and will aim to fend off the opposition. MICHELANGELO (9) can build on his recent return to form. VIBRATO (15), well treated at the foot of the weights, is another who could have a say.

    Summary: A tricky race despite the small field, with Richard Chotard having saddled the third last year and capable of going one better this time with MASTER MAN (4). BOLT OF BLUE (3) is stepping up in trip but showed plenty of determination when opening his account and could progress again. MOONDANCE (6) and ARALIA (7) have both faced strong opposition since making their debuts and should not be underestimated in this company

    Summary: SI CAPO SI (8) has found his form again after a few average performances and he is on the right track to that next win. KAKHOVKA (10) slots in with a galloping weight and on the back of her last two efforts, she should go very close. EL PROFESSOR CHOP (14) has a light weight and is holding useful form which should see him in the firing line. ZIPPERE (13) hasn’t been too far off the action and can challenge here.

    Summary: MISTER BLACK (5) is better than his latest effort when he failed to fire up. His prior form is strong and from a good draw, he holds the key in this contest. PRIMA LUCE (8) produced an excellent finish to land the spoils and with more scope for improvement, she should be bang there at the finish. DEVIL’STORY (13) is a well tried maiden who continues to keep one interested on his consistency and should be involved once more. ARTOA (9) has produced some fair efforts on late and has claims for the minor spots.

    Summary: MEMORY (14) put his hooves in all the right places last time out when winning with ease and appears to be a very progressive sort. EGYPTIAN GLORY (15) and ANDEOL (10) met last time out and there wasn’t much to choose between them with the latter finishing just ahead but that form can be reversed here. Both can fight it out. REVE BLEU (2) has been running well in defeat this year and should produce another competitive run. THING FOR THE HOT (3) has hit his straps nicely and continues to take the right steps forward. He will be involved at the finish.

  3. PETTICOAT LANE – Successful in a Class 5 Condition Chase at Nort Sur Erdre over 4,200m on 12 April 2026 last time. Confidence boosing win last time and warrants respect
  4. PER FAVOR – Recent win over 3900m at Gemozac in a Class 5 chase on July 5 when last racing. Others make more appeal
    Summary: LECA DE THAIX (2) has strong credentials for scoring after a good second in a Class 3 chase at Dieppe six days ago. She can edge this over LOKO MOME (1), who has been consistent all year and arrives after a third in the same race at Dieppe last week. PETTICOAT LANE (3) was an easy winner by eight lengths at Nor-Sur-Erdre when last seen in early April and has to be respected despite a short layoff and he can be involved at the business end.

    Summary: HERALISTE (5) can improve from his third placed effort at Dieppe in early July on his return to the track after an absence of seven months. He is given the vote over KAPPA D’ESTRUVAL (2), who ran well when fourth at Auteuil in mid-May when last seen in a Class 3 chase. KEASY STORM (1) reverts to fences after several runs over hurdles recently, which includes a win two runs back at Dieppe in June in a Class 3 event and he should not be excluded.

  13. MILIJIM – Finished 6th on his last start over 3100m at Corlay in a conditions race on the flat on June 29. Tries hurdles for the first time and others make more appeal
  14. GRISE D’AZUR PELEM – In good form and finished 3rd in a Class 5 Condition Hurdle at Chateaubriant over 3,550m on 21 July 2026. Hard to rule out

  16. YAVENINIA – Fell on her latest start at Dieppe over 3400m in a Class 3 hurdle on July 10. She was disappointing on the flat and does not appeal on what she has shown in two runs over hurdles
    Summary: MANZADAME (2) won both of her runs last year, on the flat and over hurdles and she was a decent third on her return to action in March at Compiegne in a Class 2 hurdle. She will be ready to go after a layoff and can be too smart for MARQUIS DE BREON (1), who is a threat after scoring at Dieppe by over six lengths in mid-July on only his second try over hurdles. MYRTEA (6) is making her debut and is one to keep safe if the betting vibes are lively. GRISE D’AZUR PELEM (5) makes up the shortlist.

  17. DOCTORINO – Facile success over 3400m in a claiming hurdle on the only run at Clairefontaine on June 29. Can follow up for new connections
  18. NUNCIO D’ELIPE – Gelding by Gary Du Chenet, the dam was placed over jumps. Stable runners are respected on debut and this gelding will be well schooled by connections. Best watched for the time being
  19. SUNNY MAN – Gelding by Headman, the dam won 3 races over jumps including a Listed hurdle and was placed in a Grade 3 and Grade 1 hurdle. Choice pedigree and from a respected stable that can ready a newcomer to strike on debut
  20. PARADOX TOO – Gelding by Born To Sea, the dam won 2 races over jumps. Some good aspects to his profile and he is one to monitor in the betting for clues
  21. FOR ELFY – Showed promise when 6th at Senonnes over 3000m in a hurdle race on July 2. One to consider with progress expected
  22. RIVA BELLA – Filly by Nirvana Du Berlais, the dam won 5 races on the flat. Likely to improve for this run and she does not appeal as a likely first time out winner
    Summary: DOCTORINO (1) won by twenty lengths on his racecourse debut at Clairefontaine in late June on his only start and was claimed by current connections. He can follow up. SUNNY MAN (3) could be the one to give the selection the most to think about. He is well bred and from a stable that excels with newcomers. FOR ELFY (5) showed promise on her debut over hurdles and will know more this time and is worth a market check, as is PARADOX TOO (4), who is on debut and looks good on paper.

  23. KIND OF MIX – Finished 6th in a Class 4 Condition Hurdle at Saint Malo over 3,900m on 1 August 2026. Ran well when 3rd at Clairefontaine in June over hurdles and has to be respected
  24. TORONADO BELLO – Fair 3rd last time out over 3900m in a handicap hurdle at Clairefontaine on July 27. Merits consideration
  25. IRUN LORD – Placed 2nd on his last run over 3800m in a claiming hurdle at Plesse on July 27. Ought to be in the shake-up
  26. SWEEPER CHOP – Threatening to win and was runner-up in a Class 3 Condition Cross-Country Chase at Molieres over 4,800m on 26 July 2026. Solid claims back over hurdles
  27. JET SETH DUBREAU – Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3900m in a Class 4 chase at Morlaix on March 29. Alternative options make more sense
  28. BALMORAL – Recent win over 2300m at Dinan on August 3 on the flat in a Class 4 conditions race. Winning hurdler last year and can not be discounted
  29. RINGO STAR – Finished 3rd on his last start over 3900m at Corlay in a claiming chase on July 14. Others make more appeal
    Summary: SWEEPER CHOP (4) has strong credentials in claiming events and arrives after two second place efforts in cross-country races. He can score from BALMORAL (6), who is seeking a hat-trick after a win over hurdles in July 2025, and recent success on the flat at Dinan 10 days ago. KIND OF MIX (1) is another to pay close attention to and was a good third in a handicap hurdle two runs back in late June at Clairefiontaine. IRUN LORD (3) looks best of the remainder.

  31. MISTER DE COQUERIE – Two wins of late, the latter over 3400m at Pompadour in a Class 4 hurdle on July 25. Holds leading claims
  32. MON IDEE – Finished 5th on her latest start over 3400m in a handicap hurdle at La Teste on July 11. She has to convince over fences
  33. BATHIRFORT – Finished 2nd in a Class 3 Condition Chase at Segre over 3,800m on 28 June 2026 on her second run after a win on debut. In the mix
  34. BRESSLAND – Solid effort when 2nd over 3600m at Vittel in a Class 3 chase on July 27 when last seen. Capable of being competitive
  35. MASKA D’AIRY – Failed to complete over 3500m in a Class 4 hurdle on her latest start on January 11 at Pau. Chase debut and can be opposed
    Summary: MORFALOU (1) has been in terrific form with a hat-trick of wins recently. The latest in a Class 3 chase at Segre in late June . He looks like he can win again from his main danger BRESSLAND (5), who was a decent second on her return from almost 14 months off on her chasing debut at Vittel late in July. MISTER DE COQUERIE (2) is seeking a hat-trick of wins after success over hurdles and fences in July and can once again give a good account of himself.

  37. HOLALA HAS – Not disgraced when fifth in a Class 4 Condition Hurdle at Dieppe over 3,400m on 9 July 2026. She will be fitter for her latest run and can not be discounted
  38. MON VIEUX JEAN – Finished 12th in a Maiden at Saint Malo over 2,500m on 1 August 2026 on the flat. Back over hurdles and is one to keep onside
  39. BANKSY NOVA – Finished 4th on his last run over 3900m in a claiming hurdle at Saint-Malo on August 1. Has work to do to play a lead role
  40. APRIL FLOWER – Fair 3rd last time over 3900m at Saint-Malo in a handicap hurdle on July 22. Ought to be in the shake-up

  42. LOOKING FOR YOU – Placed 2nd on her latest start over 3800m in a handicap hurdle at Plesse on July 27 behind GARYLIA TALISKER (6). Can be opposed
    Summary: MAESTRANZO (1) has shaped better this year with a win on the flat and a recent third over hurdles at Dieppe in early July on his latest start. He can have too much for HOLALA HAS (2), who will be sharper for a recent run at Dieppe last month having won last year on debut over hurdles. She will strip fitter today. APRIL FLOWER (5) is another to pay attention to do and can have a say in the finish. MON VIEUX JEAN (3) makes up the shortlist.

  45. MUHTALAD – Two 3rd placed runs of late, the latter over 3900m at Dieppe in a handicap chase on July 17. Hard to dismiss
  46. JALNA DE LAPRELLE – Not disgraced when fifth in a Class 4 Condition Hurdle at Saint Malo over 3,900m on 22 July 2026 last time. Might need a few to misfire
  47. KANADA DENUO – Fifth in a Class 4 Condition Chase at Corlay over 4,500m on 28 June 2026 last time out. Others make more appeal

    Summary: ILLARANT (1) won with authority at Dinan by over five lengths and has solid claims of following up at the expense of MUHTALAD (3), who has been third on his latest two runs and he can make life difficult for the selection. GEMINI D’AX (2) was victorious in the race last year and is hard to discount at this venue. GUGUSSE (6) is another to consider and can have a say in proceedings.

  1. JUTLAND – Returns to the amateur category after failing to deliver in a Laon Class F early this month. Is by no means the worst horse here and will have her supporters
  2. JAGUAR’S EYES – Finished 4th in a Class F at La Capelle over 2,700m on 24 July. Is never the easiest of horses to gauge but breaks from the 2 slot and should be retained
  3. KISS ME DUTOLLEM – Fourth in a Class F at Vittel over 2,700m on 14 July. Is a tough nut to crack when barefoot and looks the main threat to KID DE LA BANIO (13)
  4. JAVA DU PLESSIS – Form has done nothing but regress since encouraging at Biarritz 3 weeks ago, and even from the 4 slot, will have few takers
  5. JAOUEN – Finished 11th in a Class F at Le Mans over 2,200m on 13 July. Has limited references at this level but has been handed the 5 slot and Theo Perrier will be keen to make hay
  6. KANEM – Fourth in a Class F Amateurs’ race at Royan-La Palmyre over 3,100m on 19 July. Is very much at home in the amateur division and from the front row will expected to give this a good go. Place prospect
  7. KINNAIRD – Has been completely out of the picture for some time, latterly 10th in a Montignac Class H on 16 July, and in this company will have nothing to offer
  8. IMITCH DU MOULIN – Lost his action at Vittel before being trounced at Abbeville 2.5 weeks ago, and is unlikely to make any impact
  9. JALAYA DES BROUETS – Finished 10th in a Class F at Montier En Der over 3,025m on 5 July, continuing her poor run of form, and can be passed over
  10. ICARE DU FAOUET – Won a Class G at Arras over 2,900m on 2 August, making it 2 wins in 4 starts. Is shod as he was when victorious at Elbeuf and, despite the draw, must be afforded respect
  11. KEZIO JOSSELYN – Has not been as sharp since winning a 2875m claimer here on 23 June, and the draw will do him no favours
  12. IBLISS MAYBE – Won 2 of last 3, most recently a Laon Class F early this month, but reverts to a previous formula and looks more a minor place chance this time around
  13. KID DE LA BANIO – Disqualified in last 2 starts, the latest a Class E at Graignes over 2,725m on 22 May. Has pulled a poor number but, with application, will have every chance of imposing
    Summary: KID DE LA BANIO (13) will have to start from the second row but has the ability to make an immediate impact at this level if he keeps his mind on the job. KISS ME DUTOLLEM (3), well-positioned and in top form, and JAOUEN (5), looking to bounce back, will be ready to pounce on any mistake, as will KANEM (6), who is clearly close to his race.

  14. NOBEL DU VIVIER – Winner of both starts to date, most recently an Avranches Class F last week. Is not taking much of a hike in category and is eminently capable of securing the hat-trick
  15. NUGGET RIVER – Finished 4th in a Class E at Montignac-Charente over 2,600m on 23 July, a month after having won at Eauze. Is clearly in shape and returns to a hard surface with a decent chance of picking up a cheque
  16. NINO TOSCA – Runner-up in a claimer at Vincennes over 2,100m on 20 February. Has not been seen since but sports pads for comeback, and the draw only works to his advantage. Chance
  17. NEEDREAM – Disqualified in a Class D at Biarritz over 2,150m on 4 July 2026. Has shown some potential and in this category can finish in the money
  18. NOBLE AVENUE – Finished 7th in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,725m on 21 July. Is not devoid of ability though and, if behaved, can play a small role
  19. NOMIS – Got off the mark in a Class E at Agon-Coutainville 3 weeks ago, on just her second start for Mathieu Mottier, and from the front line is not incapable of repeating
  20. NAPOLI DU BOUFFEY – Should not be too quickly condemned for being eliminated in a Cabourg Class C 3 weeks ago. Takes a notable dip in category and can get in on the action if Franck Nivard successfully negotiates the start
  21. NELATI DE MORGANE – Finished 5th in a Class C at Cabourg over 2,750m on 24 July 2026. Has pulled a wide number here but can still compete for minor honours
  22. NAYA DE MYE – Has yet to show any particular aptitude for the harness game. Has pulled a rough number and, even with pads fitted, is unlikely to spice things up
  23. NEPTUNE MADRIK – Kicked her career off nicely but has done nothing of note since. Has been re-shod for Enghien bow but still has too much to do
  24. NINO SAINT CHARLES – A complete disappointment at any level since his modest April debut and can be ruled out
    Summary: NOBEL DU VIVIER (1) bids to maintain his unbeaten record after winning at Francheville and Avranches. He makes his first appearance on sand, and in a claimer, but will be padded for the first time and looks the horse to beat. Yoann Lebourgeois will need to be wary though of the well-placed NINO TOSCA (3), absent since 20 February but fitted with pads for the first time, and recent winner NOMIS (6), who will also sport pads. NEEDREAM (4), back in this category, should have a say.

  26. NAYANA DES EPINES – Ran flattering 4th of 10, on monte debut, in a 2250m Class E here a fortnight ago. Sports pads this time, with Paul Ploquin in the saddle again, but looks a minor place chance at best
  27. NIDORINA DE VIVOIN – Gave a good account at Graignes first time out, but was eliminated in a Cabourg Class F last week, and others preferred
  28. NICOLETTA DU CLOS – Finished 3rd in a Class F at St Jean De Monts over 2,625m on 2 August. Is shod as she was at Graignes in June and ought to be taken seriously
  29. NAGOYA MESLOISE – Finished 2nd on debut in a Class F at Cabourg over 2,750m on 4 August 2026. Will only have improved for the race and should prove the principal threat to NORMANDIA (10)
  30. NIKITA DU BOUFFEY – Finished 2nd in a Class F at Clairefontaine over 2,900m on 19 July. Has limited monte references, and tends to go better right-handed, but Pierre-Yves Verva will be in the saddle for the first time and will have her supporters
  31. NORMA FIRST – Unplaced in a harness Class E at Cabourg over 2,725m on 21 July when being prepared for a return to the code. Sports pads for the first time and, with application, can make first 5
  32. NEPHY ELDE – Disqualified in 4 of last 5, the latest a Class B over course and distance on 27 June 2026. Has considerable merit though and can play an important role if her new handler keeps her focused
  33. NIGHT LILOMA – Runner-up in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 24 July 2026, after having got off the mark at Graignes the previous month. Sports 4 pads this time and should again prove competitive at the business end of the race
  34. NORMANDIA – Clinched a Class F at Cabourg over 2,750m on 17 July 2026, on just her second start since the spring break. Benefits from a good entry and Mathieu Mottier can be forgiven for feeling bullish. Claim
    Summary: NORMANDIA (10), nicely-engaged at the limit of earnings, has what it takes to win a race of this nature and looks just to have the edge over NAGOYA MESLOISE (5), who made a promising debut at Cabourg, and a fully-padded NIGHT LILOMA (9), in top form. The tricky but promising NEPHY ELDE (8), now under new management, can also be considered a player.

  35. L’ELITE DU CHOQUEL – Has been acquitting herself well of late, lastly runner-up in a Mauquenchy Class F 3 weeks ago. Should appreciate the new profile but is possibly being aimed too high
  36. LADY MASTER – Form has regressed since running 3rd at Les Andelys in early-July and is unlikely to create an upset
  37. LOLITA DE MIELOUI – Put a pair of eliminations behind her to win a Class F at La Capelle 2 weeks ago. Takes on a better bunch this time but should nevertheless hold her own
  38. L’IDOLE DRY – Produced a trio of fine performances last month before being eliminated in a Graignes Class F last Saturday. Backs up in a superior field but will be reconfigured and can still get a look in
  39. LINA LA RAVELLE – Showed improvement when 3rd in a Neuillé-Pont-Pierre Class F earlier in the month but still has more to find
  40. LOVE WITH YOU – Sports modified shoeing after having come 6th in an Amiens Class F late last month and will have little to contribute
  41. LIO DE PIENCOURT – Not the most courageous of mares, latterly 5th in an Amiens Class F in late-July, however at this level will struggle to make much of an impact
  42. LA JOCONDE – Should not be too hastily-judged for losing her action in a Craon Class E early last month. Will appreciate a return to a hard surface and will be expected to make amends
  43. LOVESTORY DU YUCCA – Disqualified in a Class F at Neuille Pont Pierre over 3,000m on 2 August. Has already won this summer, gets on well with her driver, and is unlikely to let the side down. Place chance
  44. LIBERTY AVENUE – Disappointing on the whole over recent weeks. Held her own here in June but faces a much stiffer test this time
  45. LICENCE CASTELETS – Comfortably won a 2150m Mauquenchy Class F 3 weeks ago. Should take well to Enghien conditions and has every chance of confirming
  46. LA BAULE HAUFOR – Disqualified in a Class E at Meslay-du-Maine over 2,875m on 28 July. Has otherwise been in excellent shape, enjoys a good engagement, and has a reasonable chance of making her Enghien debut a winning one
  47. LINEA DE L’ALBA – Has turned a corner over recent weeks, most recently running 2nd in a Biarritz Class F 3 weeks ago. Is unlikely to get her nose in front but benefits from a terrific entry and William Claire will be eager to deliver. First 5
  48. LET’S GO SMART – Will be shod to preference after being conditioned in a Lisieux Class E in mid-July. Has no Enghien references but in this company should not be too far off the mark
    Summary: LICENCE CASTELETS (11) and Karla Renault recently impressed at Mauquenchy and will be aiming to repeat. The main opposition is headed by LA BAULE HAUFOR (12), who can be forgiven her latest effort, along with a re-shod LOVESTORY DU YUCCA (9) and LA JOCONDE (8), both of whom also made an early mistake last time out.

  51. NUIT DE MAI – Finished 6th in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 16 July, 11 days after having imposed at Les Andelys. Is competitively-shod for the first time and deserves to be taken seriously
  52. NANA DE L’ISLE – Won a Class E at Langon over 2,800m on 14 July. Ran 2nd in a claimer here on penultimate start, breaks from the 4 slot, but still has more to find
  53. NOSTRA DE LAUNI – Finished 9th in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 26 July, her first appearance since early-May. Is still being conditioned and can be passed over
  54. NAVIDA PURA VIDA – Disqualified last time out in a Class D at Biarritz over 2,150m on 4 July 2026. Has yet to get off the mark but has demonstrated good consistency, although in this company she may just be out of her depth
  55. NUIT D’IVRESSE JAF – Ran 7th in a Class C at Enghien over 2,875m on 2 August. Has looked decidedly ordinary this season and is unlikely to trouble the judge
  56. NENIGMA – Failed to remain unbeaten, and pull off the hat-trick, when disqualified in a Class D at Pontchateau over 2,800m on 4 June. Starts for new handler and even though drawn wide, still warrants considerable respect
  57. NINA DAIDOU – Was untaxed on re-entry here on 16 July, when unplaced in a 2875m Class D. Is not ideally-drawn but is better than her latest result would imply, and is hard to discount
  58. NIMES – Runner-up in a Class E at Mauquenchy over 2,150m on 23 July. Has been fitted with pads for the first time and, although stepping up in category, will generate some interest
  59. NAHIA DIBAH – Outclassed the opposition, on re-entry, in a Class F at Amiens over 2,400m on 10 July. Will have improved for the run and despite the draw can confirm
    Summary: NAHIA DIBAH (11) made a strong impression at Amiens last month and, padded for the first time, is just preferred to NAIADE JAYF (1), who has done little wrong, and NATACHA CASTEL (2), ideally placed at the limit of earnings . NENIGMA (8), making her debut for new connections, can also have a say.

  61. MIRABELLE DE LARRE – Finished 9th in a Class D at Enghien over 2,150m on 22 July. Is still chasing that elusive first win and is unlikely to have anything to contribute
  62. MALINE DU PLESSIS – Third in a Class E over 2,875m here on 4 July, following 2 straight victories. Sports are fresh configuration and should be good enough to challenge for a place on the podium
  63. MERCEDES DU LOISIR – Got straight down to business for new trainer when successful in a Class E under these conditions early this month, however a repeat seems most improbable
  64. MAKITA BERRY – Won 2 in a row before coming fifth in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 31 July. Adrien Lamy gets the drive this time and will be expected to finish in the mix
  65. MANA MIX – Failed to pull off the four-timer when disqualified in a 2750m Cabourg Class D a fortnight ago. Is quite clearly at the top of her game and, with application, can play a leading role
  66. MIA DE SIMM – Finished 4th in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,725m on 21 July. Has no particular love for Enghien but is plainly in form, and the Eric Raffin-factor cannot be ignored
  67. MANOLA DE MUZE – Made up for two straight eliminations when comfortably winning under these conditions 2.5 weeks ago. Is nicely entered here and Yoann Lebourgeois will be justifiably confident of a big run
  68. MILADY DE LA PIECE – Third in a Class D over 2,150m here on 22 July, a month after having imposed over course and distance, and looks thoroughly capable of confirming
  69. MA LIBERTE – Won 3 on the trot last winter before following up with a trio of sanctions. Has not raced since February, but is barefoot for comeback, and must be taken seriously
    Summary: The choice is not an easy one between MILADY DE LA PIECE (9), in good form, MANOLA DE MUZE (8), who bounced back last time, MANA MIX (6), who must be forgiven her latest effort, and the consistent and reconfigured MALINE DU PLESSIS (3).

  74. KENYAN BLUES – Unplaced on re-entry in a harness Class B over 2,150m here on 6 August. Boasts a good record with Eric Raffin and is expected to figure prominently when push comes to shove
  75. KISS ME SIMON – Not disgraced when fifth in a Class F at Vittel over 2,700m on 14 July. Has delivered just the once at Enghien though and cannot be considered a priority
  76. KADO SHINING – Made short work of a Class E over course and distance on 16 July when entrusted to Mathieu Mottier for the first time, and is in with a realistic chance of doubling his money
  77. KENTUCKY FIRST – Unplaced in a harness Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 24 July 2026, his first appearance since March. Is shod to preference this time, and will be reunited with Mehdi Lelièvre for whom he excels. Chance
    Summary: A convincing winner here last time with Mathieu Mottier, KADO SHINING (7) lines up in the same configuration and can confirm that form, despite the presence of a re-shod KENTUCKY FIRST (8), and a barefoot KENYAN BLUES (5), both returning to their preferred discipline after a comeback under harness.

  78. MEETING MESLOIS – 7th in a Class E at Laval over 2,850m on 5 July. Will be barefoot this time though and, with application, can play a prominent role
  79. MAGE DES MONTS – Disappointing since winning a brace in May, lastly 6th in a Mauquenchy Class E last week. Is better than latest results would suggest though and must not be underestimated
  80. MAGISTRALO BELLO – Won 2 in a row before coming 4th in a Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne early last week. Is dynamic when barefoot and is well-placed to give this a good go
  81. MAGIC DE BANVILLE – Comes here on the back of 3 straight sanctions, but showed last time that he was plainly in form, and Mathieu Mottier gets the nod. Chance
  82. MARCEL SEVEN – Fourth in a Class D at Royan-La Palmyre over 2,475m on 19 July, with JMB in the bike. Was good enough to win that day and from the 5 slot can redeem himself and impose
  83. MIKONOS DE MAHEY – Finished 4th in a Class E at Lisieux over 2,675m on 15 July 2026. Sports a new configuration for his left-handed debut and cannot be discounted
  84. MAESTRO DE FORGAN – Complicated sort that has been disqualified in 5 of last 6 starts and can expect to have few friends
  85. METEORE ETOILE – Modest individual that lost his way after imposing at Mauquenchy in January and desperately needs to reassure
  86. MOVING QUICK – Well-beaten on re-entry in a Class E at Les sables-d’Olonne earlier in the month and even though re-shod, is still facing a very tough task
  87. MYSTERIOUS LOVE – Finished 9th in a Class E at Mauquenchy over 2,850m on 5 August and must get his house in order
  88. MEPHISTO JAVANAIS – Has a pair of runs under his belt since the spring break. Gave a good account at Cabourg despite losing his action early, but on better behaviour can make amends. First 5
  89. MIGNON DES MACE – Has been hard to fault over recent weeks, lastly 4th in a Graignes Class E last weekend, however at this level can expect to find the going tough
  90. MURMURE – 2nd in a Class F at La Capelle 3 weeks ago, on just 2nd start back. Is never far from faulting, and has pulled a rough number, but is still worth keeping an eye on
  91. MOMO DES CARREAUX – Finished 8th in a Class E Apprentices’ race at Graignes over 2,700m on 8 August 2026. Is not the easiest of horses to handle and others easier to back
    Summary: MARCEL SEVEN (5), who was expected to do better last time at Royan, and MAGIC DE BANVILLE (4), provided he keeps trotting, are worth considering ahead of MAGISTRALO BELLO (3), who is in top form, and MAGE DES MONTS (2), who can bounce back with Yoann Lebourgeois.

NOBLE LOVE (2) finished only eighth on debut but shaped better than the bare result suggests and should improve for the experience. NUIT DE ROMA (12), a promising second on his first start, also commands respect, while the consistent NIKITA DUAL (10) has solid claims and should be involved in the finish.
