  3. MISTER CHANG – Finished 5th in a Class 1 at Chantilly over 1100m on 4 September 2026. Positive latest after disappointing penultimate
  4. GRAND SCOOP – Came home 7th in a Class 2 Handicap at Chantilly over 1,200m on 19 September 2026. Can bounce back to score
  5. HELLO CAREL – Victorious in a Class 2 at Chantilly over 1200m on 23 September 2026. Positive recent but will be hard to repeat against this bunch
  6. MAI DIRE MAI – Finished 4th in a Class 2 at Chantilly over 1200m on 23 September 2026. Could outrun odds for the minor spots
  7. SILK ROADSTER – Outclassed the opposition in a Handicap at Deauville over 1200m on 30 August 2026. Will be threat in the race despite the rise in the weight
  8. PRINCE AUBOIS – Unplaced in a Class 2 Handicap at Longchamp over 1400m on 4 October 2026. Can surprise here if overcoming the draw
  9. AWAITING CHRISTMAS – Threatening to win and was runner-up in a Class 2 Handicap at Deauville over 1200m on 22 August 2026. Will look to go one better here
  10. ROYALWOOD – Came home 4th in a Class 2 Handicap at Chantilly over 1200m on 19 September 2026. Could gather value interest
  11. SCHUMAN – Finished 3rd in a Class 2 Handicap at Chantilly over 1200m on 19 September 2026. Making steady progress and could earn a place
  12. HEROISTE – Unplaced in a Class 2 Handicap at Chantilly over 1200m on 19 September 2026. Will find it hard to compete here
  13. ASHERAH – Unplaced in a Listed at Baden-Baden over 1400m on 1 September 2026. Will need the run to show improvement
  14. YOKEN – Unplaced in a Class 2 Handicap at Longchamp over 1400m on 4 October 2026. Will not expect a better run here

  16. SIMPLY LOVELY – Finished 14th in a Class 2 Handicap at Chantilly over 1200m on 19 September 2026. Can be overlooked, others make better appeal
    Summary: GRAND SCOOP (4) was unlucky in his last run which can be overlooked as he should make a positive come back here and be a big contender. SILK ROADSTER (7) was successful last time out, he is well rested and will come into this race full of confidence. SWEET CHOP (1) finished third in his last outing in a Listed race and drops to a Handicap this time around. He goes up against a bit weaker here and will mount a serious challenge. AWAITING CHRISTMAS (9) will be eager to find the winners box after missing out twice now. SCHUMAN (11) returns to the course and distance that he relishes.
    SELECTIONS
    GRAND SCOOP (4) – SILK ROADSTER (7) – SWEET CHOP (1) – AWAITING CHRISTMAS (9)
    C2 – PRIX DE SAINT-DESIR – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 45,700
  17. SUNKAR – Dam was by top sire Sea The Stars but was unraced. Well related and should gather interest
  18. SUBARASHII – Dam was a three-time winner. Two of those coming over the same distance. Unlikely to trouble the judge
  19. EMIRGAN PARK – Dam was a three-time handicap winner in Great Britain over longer distances. Could be headed for better
  20. ULTIMO DINO – Dam was a maiden winner and was most often found in the places, she did reach the Group 1 races and earned there. Betting will provide the best clues
  21. ZARAKINO – Dam was raced 5 times in her life and was victorious on one occasion. Trained by Gérald Mossé and should be respected
  22. STERLE – Dam was successful in multiple Group 3 races in the states and at Longchamps. Should be one to watch
    Summary: EMIRGAN PARK (3) is a half sister to Ryka who was victorious in her only visit to french turf. This individual is from a yard who knows how to get them into shape and he could run well here. STERLE (6) is by the successful Dubawi and out of a mare who was no slouch herself. If this individual has a fraction of their talent he will be a solid contender. SUNKAR (1) is by a Group 1 winner in Night Of Thunder and has the genes to be a smart individual. ZARAKINO (5) faces a tough challenge here on his first run but could earn a minor cheque.
    SELECTIONS
    EMIRGAN PARK (3) – STERLE (6) – SUNKAR (1) – ZARAKINO (5)
    C3 – PRIX D’HOTOT-EN-AUGE – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 45,700
  23. CANNTARA – Dam registered two wins over 2400m/2800m which included a win at Listed level. Could be looking for furthering time but can earn
  24. VADAJA – Dam was a three time winner over 1900m and 2000m. This filly represents a powerful combination and will go close
  25. LADY OF MERCIA – The dam won twice over 2000m/2200m. This filly makes some appeal on paper and is worth including in the play
  26. LA SUISSESSE – This filly gets the services of Christian Demuro but doesn’t look to be one that could trouble the judge first up. Others preferred
  27. HUNTRIX – Dam won once over 1600m in the UK but this filly will likely benefit from the experience on debut. Others are more persuasive
  28. RAFLER LA MISE – Dam was unraced and this filly doesn’t appear as a likely winner on debut. She could need further in time to come
  29. KATSIOUX – Dam was unraced and this filly is a clear second pick from the yard. Fails to make appeal on paper and is one to pass by
  30. NEW LOVE – Dam won three races from 1600m – 2100m which included a Group 2 and 3. This daughter of Frankel can be very competitive
    Summary: VADAJA (2) hails from a leading yard and will know the business first up. She makes plenty of appeal on debut and rates as a serious challenger here. NEW LOVE (8) is ideally drawn and is a filly who could give the top choice plenty to think about. LADY OF MERCIA (3) comes from a yard who know how to get them ready and isn’t one to just ignore. CANNTARA (1) will likely benefit with the run under the belt but is one who could just pop up.

    VADAJA (2) – NEW LOVE (8) – LADY OF MERCIA (3) – CANNTARA (1)
    C4 – PRIX DU JARDIN ANGLAIS – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 27,400

  32. KARAKOUM – Runner-up in a Maiden at Saint-Cloud over 1200m on 18 September 2026. Showing promise so far and may run into the minor money
  33. ALAIN ROSE – Came home 7th in a Maiden at Saint-Cloud over 1400m on 11 September 2026. Still green and may very well need the run
  34. WONDER BAILEYS – Moderate 5th in a Maiden at Saint-Cloud over 1200m on 18 September 2026. Will need the run to compete against better company
  35. MONDAY CABARET – Not disgraced when 3rd in a Conditional at Chantilly over 1600m on 29 September 2026. Solid maiden run and can improve
  36. DIVINA FE – Came home 5th in a Group II at Deauville over 1400m on 23 August 2026. Is capable of doing better and should earn here
  37. EXTREME DREAM – Dam was by Dream Ahead who was a winner of numerous Group 1 races. This individual could be a Group 1 winner in the making
    Summary: Born in Australia, EXTREME DREAM (7) has an unusual profile but is very well-bred. With the addition of being under the wing of trainer Francis Graffard, shel will be geared up to run a good race. DIVINA FE (6) had a moderate finish in fifth in her first Group 2 race, she will look to improve on that here. MONDAY CABARET (5) had a positive start to her career with a run in third on her first outing to the track. She faces a drop in trip here which could be more suited to her capabilities. KARAKOUM (2) is yet to find his first win from his three career runs but has shown positive improvement on his penultimate run.

  48. CAPITOL HILL – Not reliable and finished 6th in a Handicap at Lyon-La Soie over 1,800m on 11 October. More is needed to beat these rivals

  51. VIENNA’S PRIDE – Has not shown much so far and came home 9th in a Maiden at Deauville over 1,600m on 1 September. Capable of improvement but others are preferred

CHARMING CECILIA (1) has finished in the first four in each of her last four outings and looks a consistent contender. PERCEVAL (4) returns to a surface that suits him, and could make the frame.

He faces older rivals for the first time, including defending champion KING ROBBE (3), who was third on his latest start, ALPARSLAN (6), remains competitive off his current mark, and REGALIEN (2), who showed signs of improvement last time also deserve some respect.

AMIE AMOUR must shoulder more weight this time, which could give CRISZILLA the chance to gain revenge.

  29. MASERATI GHIBLI – Disqualified twice in a row, the latest in a Class E at Enghien over 2,150m on 10 August. Can earn some minor money if staying in stride
  30. MONSIEUR DE VORE – Showed some improvement when second at Montignac-Charente over 2,600m on 23 July. Remains barefoot but could need this run returning from a break
  31. MUSTANG HAUFOR – Remains in good shape and finished 3rd in a Class E at Laval over 2,850m on 24 September. Can earn some more money
  32. MORGANE DE TOI – Not reliable and came home 5th in a Class E at Nantes over 3,000m on 25 September. Remains barefoot and has a place chance
  33. MIRELLA DE LOU – Battling to regain best form and finished 9th in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,650m on 6 July. Could need this run returning from a break
  34. MITSUKI DU BOURG – Finished 3rd in a Claimer at Alencon over 2,675m on 4 October. Remains barefoot but does need to do more to beat these rivals
  35. MONDIAL DE FAVEROL – Unreliable and finished 6th in a Class E at Alencon over 2,650m on 6 September. Remains barefoot but more is needed to score
  36. MADAME BOVARY – Returned to form and finished fourth in a Class E at Laval over 2,850m on 10 September. Reverts to barefoot and can get involved with the finish
  37. MILENA GRIFF – Outclassed the opposition in a Class F at Morlaix over 2,625m on 27 September. Remains barefoot but this is a tougher race. Might place
  38. MARVELA DU DUDY – Not reliable and came home 8th in a Class E at Laval over 2,850m on 3 October. Remains barefoot and is capable of contesting the finish
  39. MALICIO ATALANTE – Has some fair form and fnished 5th in a Class E at Nantes over 3,000m on 25 September. Capable of making the frame
    Summary: MAINTENANT (1) is reunited with Antonin André, who guided him to victory last time, and will be bidding for a third consecutive win. However, he will need to be wary of MARVELA DU DUDY (11), who deserves another chance with Eric Raffin in the sulky, MADAME BOVARY (9), who performs well in this shoeing configuration, and MALICIO ATALANTE (12), who could hardly have asked for a better opportunity.

  40. THAT’S IT – Did not show his best when 9th in a Class E harness race at Angoulême over 2750m on 4 October. Tries a mounted race but others are preferred
  41. JONQUILLETE CREPIN – Has struggled of late and was unplaced in a Class D harness race at Enghien over 2875m on 7 October. Better under the saddle but others make more appeal
  42. JAZZISSIME – Has some fair form and finished fifth in a Class D mounted race at Vincennes over 2700m on 22 September. On a long losing run but is not out of it in this line-up
  43. IAGO DE SENOVILLE – Has struggled of late and was unplaced in a Class D harness race at Enghien over 2875m on 7 October. Better under the saddle but others make more appeal
  44. INSERT DES MONTS – Has disqualification issues and finished 6th in a Class E mounted race at Enghien over 2250m on 13 August. Makes little appeal
  45. JAVA DE BOITRON – Has only been modest of late and finished 8th in a Class E harness race at Enghien over 2150m on 26 September. Needs to find a few lengths to win

    Summary: KASH KEEPER (7) scored convincingly at Cabourg and has a good opportunity to follow up, particularly with Mathieu Mottier in the saddle. IN LOVE DE BLARY (10) and JAZZISSIME (3) areboth heading in the right direction, look the main dangers, along with IKITORI (12), who benefits from an attractive engagement.

    Summary: NEBRASKA DE GINIER (13) has been a real revelation among the three-year-olds this year. He returns from a break but could preserve his unbeaten record racing with front shoes on. However, he will need to be wary of NEXT LOVE (2), who has done little wrong, and NENIGMA (9), who is ideally positioned just inside the second-tier starting limit. NOE DES BAUX (10), who needs to restore confidence, completes the shortlist.

  74. MORETIME DU CAMPUS – Disqualified at Mons over 2,300m on 19 September. Reverts to barefoot and did win his penultimate start. Might earn some minor money when smart

  80. MARQUETY DE BAILLY – Not reliable but finished 3rd in a Class B at Rambouillet over 2,800m on 20 September. Remains barefoot and might play a minor role at very best
    Summary: MUZE MAKER (14), a recent winner with Eric Raffin in the sulky, and MAVERICK DE FAEL (13), who found one too good last time, get the vote ahead of MUSIQUE CLASSIQUE (8), who could bounce back to form from the first starting tier, and MERRY (1), who deserves another chance.

  94. LUDIVINE – Has been disqualified in 3 consecutive starts, the latest in a Class A at Enghien over 2,150m on 23 May. Returns from a break and could need this run
  95. LEONARDO VICI – Not disgraced when fifth in a Class B at Rambouillet over 2,800m on 20 September. Capable of doing better and could play a minor role
  96. LEARN TO FLY – Came home 7th in a Group I at Vincennes over 2,850m on 12 September. Capable of earning some money
    Summary: L’ARCHANGE (5) finished third on his debut and has been lightly raced since, but has won all six of his subsequent starts. Despite not having raced since April 16, he can extend his winning sequence. However, he faces stiff opposition from the consistent LIBRIO BELLO (10), LISANDRO FIORELLO (3), who must keep his mind on the job, and LE BOLIDE (9), who has been specifically prepared for this assignment are two others that can get involved with the finish.

    Summary: KHEO VIVANCIERE (11) signalled at Argentan last time that he was ready to return to winning ways. He is presented in his ideal shoeing configuration and reunites with Mathieu Mottier, with victory of this lucky last race firmly in his sights. KASSIOPEE WIND (15) deserves another chance and could provide the main opposition, along with INDIENNE DE VAL (2), who will be partnered by Eric Raffin, and KEEPSAKE MOSSA (6), who was expected to do better last time out.

  1. NIGHT SESSION – Fifth in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 30 September, but left a good impression nevertheless. Is not a priority here but can still challenge for minor honours
  2. NIKITA DE BEAUM – Finished 4th in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 30 September. Finds herself in superior company here and, while capable of getting a look in, is still not an obvious choice
  3. NOT ALLOWED – Finished 2nd in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,650m on 4 August. Is plainly close to her race, and should take well to the Enghien profile, but looks more a minor place prospect this time around
  4. NORGAFLORE – Disqualified in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,200m on 29 September. Is here for reasons of conditioning and can be ruled out
  5. NOLLY WOOD – Finished 3rd in a Class D at Nantes over 2,275m on 25 September. Takes on a better lot here and is unlikely to lose her maiden tag, but should nevertheless hold her own
  6. NYMPHE DE DURBUY – Third in a Class D at Reims over 2,550m on 13 September. Is as capable going left-handed as right- but may just be taking on too much
  7. NINKASI SOYER – Unplaced in a Class B at Argentan over 2,875m on 23 September. Won her only left-handed start but has nothing to contribute on this occasion
  8. NINA D’EOL – Third in a monte Class D at Vincennes over 2,200m on 29 September. Has nothing to offer in this company and can be passed over
  9. NIGHT DU SAPTEL – Finished 7th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m on 11 September, after having run 3rd there just over 2 weeks earlier, and over this longer distance can make amends
  10. NOZELENN D’AVEL – Third in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,725m on 1 October. Presents solid left-handed credentials and is worth keeping an eye on
  11. NIKITA DU PONT – Disqualified on comeback at Craon over 2,750m on 28 September. Is still being conditioned and best to keep one’s powder dry
  12. NORA DE BEYLEV – Unplaced in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 September. Has yet to deliver with pads fitted but is plainly a good future prospect and Benjamin Rochard will be keen to set the record straight
  13. NUIT D’IVRESSE JAF – Unplaced in a Class B at La Capelle over 2,750m on 2 September. Is confirmed at Enghien but is clearly out of her depth
  14. NORDIC GIRL – Imposed at Laval on 23 August before repeating in a Class E at Chartres over 2,800m on 11 September. Is just 25 Euros from elimination and is hard to ignore
  15. NUTTY DREAM – Unplaced in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 September but races competitively-shod for the first time and at 5 Euros from elimination must be taken seriously
    Summary: NORDIC GIRL (14) has clearly taken a step forward this summer, winning her last two starts, and the hat-trick is easy to envisage. NORA DE BEYLEV (12) should appreciate the flat Enghien track, while the re-shod NUTTY DREAM (15) is better than recent form figures suggest. NIGHT DU SAPTEL (9) will appreciate returning to a more suitable trip.

  16. MALAVITA RULES – Finished 4th in a Class E at Vincennes over 2,175m on 1 September. Comes here fresh but is still taking on too much
  17. MAGGIOTTA – Disqualified in a Class B at Cordemais over 2,800m on 4 October. Has done nothing noteworthy in either discipline for some time and can be confidently disregarded
  18. MYSTIQUE ULTRA – Disqualified in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 17 September, 16 days after having won a Class E there. Will have no problem with the new conditions, sports 4 pads for the first time, and warrants respect
  19. MILKA DES THUYAS – Disqualified in a harness Class B at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,800m on 30 September. Takes first competitive steps at a track she has little liking for and is unlikely to generate much interest
  20. MADEMOISELLE DELF – In the frame in both ridden starts to date, lastly 3rd in a 2700m Vincennes Class D a month ago, and it is just a question of time before she opens her monte account
  21. MUSIQUE NAY – Fourth in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 17 September. Is still searching for that elusive first win but will not find it here
  22. MAJUSCULE – Looked very ordinary when 7th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 17 September. Is not devoid of ability but is too frequently disqualified to be considered a player
  23. MADINA MESLOISE – Fifth in a harness Claimer at Vincennes over 2,100m on 22 September. Always gives her best and is not incapable of making first five
  24. MAYBE DU CEBE – Should not be condemned for losing her action in a harness Class B at Laval over 2,850m on 30 September, when being prepared for this. Has been in excellent shape lately and should be competitive when it counts
  25. MY STORY – Was unable to secure the hat-trick when eliminated early in a 2175m Vincennes Gr.1 2.5 weeks ago. Is back at a more reasonable level and Mathis Champenois will be justifiably confident of setting the record straight
  26. MAERLINE D’AVEL – Ran 6th in a harness Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 25 September. Is barefoot, with Marius Durville aboard, for monte bow but is not a priority
  27. MOANA MESLOISE – Disqualified in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 25 September. Is clearly capable and switching codes may be just what the doctor ordered. Chance
    Summary: MY STORY (10) drops significantly in class and under these conditions will be expected to get herself back on track. That being said, she faces a strong challenge from MADEMOISELLE DELF (5), who has taken well to her new vocation, and the well-engaged and re-shod MOANA MESLOISE (12), who debuts in the code with Alexandre Abrivard in the irons. The serious MAYBE DU CEBE (9) is shod to preference after prepping under harness and will be no easy touch.

  29. IDEFIX JIHEM – Ran 7th in a harness Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 27 September. Showed significant monte form last season and should have the wherewithal to pick up a first-five payout
  30. HOLLYWOOD GIRL – Has not been seen out since running fifth in a Class D Apprentices’ race at Enghien over 2,875m on 25 June. Is competitively-shod for the occasion but others still easier to back
  31. ISOLEE DU BOUILLON – Finished 12th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 27 September. Form has done nothing but regress recently and we have nothing to contribute
  32. HELLO DE LIGNY – Very disappointing since returning to competition after almost 2 years out of competition and will have nothing to offer
  33. IDEAL DU NOYER – Ran 6th in a Class D at Caen over 2,450m on 10 October. Has had the benefit of two fresheners, appreciates Enghien, and is unlikely to let the side down
  34. HURLEVENT – Finished 13th in a harness Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 25 September. Is considerably better than latest monte result would suggest and has been reconfigured for his return to Enghien
  35. GO AWAY BIRD – Winner of a 2700m Vincennes Class D in February 2024, his sole start under the saddle, but recent harness form does nothing to inspire confidence
  36. HARRY DU LYS – Disappointing in last three, most recently coming 14th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m on 5 September, and can be passed over
  37. HARRYBEAU DE COUET – Fifth in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m on 27 September, a month after having won a Laval Class D, but will still need to find more
  38. HERAKLION DESBOIS – Unplaced in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 30 September. Has never shown any flair for the discipline and is not about to start now
  39. GALINETTE BLEUE – Unplaced in a harness Class D at Salon-De-Provence over 3,000m on 12 September. Is new to the ridden discipline though and is unlikely to create an upset
  40. IGOR DU PARC – Surprisingly unplaced in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m on 5 September. Has otherwise been in excellent shape, is confirmed here, and should prove competitive at the business end of the race
  41. GIFTOVER – Made short work of a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m on 27 September. Made good Enghien bow in August and looks head-and-shoulders better than the opposition. Claim
  42. IRINO DE GUERON – Successful in a harness Class E at Alencon over 2,650m on 4 October. Returns to the code in which he has already established his credentials and must be taken seriously
  43. GRAHIKA – Finished 9th in a harness Class D at Cordemais over 2,650m on 4 October. Faces first objective of the autumn and should be good enough to challenge for a place in the picture
  44. IBIS DE CHAHAINS – Excellent runner-up in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 12 September. Goes barefoot again and on this occasion looks main threat to GIFTOVER (14)
    Summary: Impressive winner across town late last month when reunited with Benjamin Rochard, GIFTOVER (14) is easy to like for the double. IBIS DE CHAHAINS (17), ideally-engaged here, has no younger horses to take on this time and looks competitive. Successful under the saddle earlier in his career, IRINO DE GUERON (15) returns to the discipline in excellent shape, will be barefoot for the occasion, and the engagement of Paul Ploquin will do his prospects no harm. GRAHIKA (16) is competitively-shod and, with application, can get in on the action. IDEAL DU NOYER (6) comes next.

    C4 – PRIX DE GRAVELINES – 2150m (a1m1/4) – – Harness – EUR € 40,000
  45. MINDFREAK – Finished 4th in a Class A at Vincennes over 2,100m on 25 September. Is seldom far from faulting but has been fitted with a new configuration and, on good behaviour, will be no pushover
  46. MALIGNO – Finished 4th in a Class E at Feurs over 2,850m on 16 September, however a repeat seems unlikely
  47. MAESTRO DES SARTS – Finished 5th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 20 September. Has form here, and is well-positioned in front, but would be preferred over longer
  48. MY DREAM MESLOIS – Disqualified in last two starts, the latest a Class D at Vincennes over 2,100m on 8 September. Ran 3rd over course and distance during the summer and, with application, can contest the finish
  49. MATISSE DU PONT – Has not been seen out since winning a monte Class D at Vincennes over 2,200m on 6 January and is going to need the race
  50. MARABOU DODVILLE – Finished 4th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 15 September. Has yet to make his mark over these shorter trips but is plainly in rude health and must be taken seriously
  51. MAGISTRALO BELLO – Serious element that has won 3 of last 4 starts, most recently a class E over course and distance on 13 August. Is barefoot for re-entry and Robin Lamy can be forgiven for feeling bullish. Claim
  52. MILLIUM QUESNOT – Disqualified in a Class B at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,800m on 30 September. Has done nothing of note in 2026 and is not about to start now
  53. MAESTRO DE PAGERIE – Finished 3rd in a Class E under these conditions on 7 October, just under 3 weeks after having imposed at Amiens, but is biting off more than he can chew this time
  54. MURO – Successful in a Claimer over course and distance on 12 October. Takes on a notably better bunch this time but still warrants respect
  55. MIDNIGHT SUN – Very good 5th, on comeback, in a Class E at Laval over 2,850m on 3 October. Will have progressed for the race and, while unlikely to get his head in front, can nevertheless pick up a minor place cheque
  56. MERCATO DES FORGES – Fourth in a Class E at Laval over 2,850m on 3 October. Races barefoot for the first time but is unlikely to shake things up
    Summary: MAGISTRALO BELLO (7) has improved significantly since he started racing barefoot; although unseen for two months he should nonetheless get straight down to business. MY DREAM MESLOIS (4) is not always the most reliable, but still has the class to win a race of this nature. Clearly in fine condition, MARABOU DODVILLE (6) has a decent chance of making the frame, as does a freshly-reconfigured MINDFREAK (1) who has won 3 of the 5 races he has finished.

  57. LAMA DE CORDAY – Finished 8th in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 1 October. Did not enjoy the best of trips that day but is clearly in shape and starting in front will only help his cause. Place chance
  58. LOUVIERS – Finished 4th in a Class E at Vincennes over 2,700m on 6 October, a fortnight after having run 2nd at Laval. Is clearly close to his race and from the 2 slot can bring the fight to LASCAUX (7)
  59. LAMENTIN – Second in a Class E at Vincennes over 2,850m on 20 September, 3 weeks after having won a Lisieux Class F. Has pulled a good number and Pierre Houel will be eager to make hay
  60. LORD DES GRANGES – Runner-up in a Class E at La Capelle over 2,700m on 21 September. Was not disgraced here in August, has been allocated a superb draw, and can play a small part
  61. LOUPIAC DE GODREL – Unplaced in a Class E at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,700m on 30 September. Is preparing for a campaign under the saddle and can be passed over
  62. LEONARDO TURGOT – Was unable to confirm La Capelle performance when 7th in a Class E at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,700m on 30 September, and can be passed over
  63. LASCAUX – Comfortable winner of a Class E at Marseille-Borely over 2,300m on 22 September. Should take well to Enghien conditions and looks set to make the trip worthwhile. Claim
  64. LOVI CADENCE – Disqualified in a Class E at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,700m on 30 September. Is clearly in decent condition but, in this company, is not a contender
  65. LATINO BELLO – Finished 4th in a Class E at Laval over 2,050m on 24 September. Has not put a foot out of line for some time and is unlikely to return home empty-handed
  66. LE GRISBI – Disqualified in a Class E at Laval over 2,050m on 24 September. Has otherwise been acquitting himself well and, despite the draw, returns to Paris with a decent hand to play
  67. LITTLE BOY – Disqualified in a Class E at Vincennes over 2,700m on 6 October. Has been re-shod for his first target of the autumn but looks a minor place chance at best
  68. LE BOSS DANOVER – Ran 7th in a Class E at La Capelle over 2,700m on 21 September. Has yet to show much liking for Enghien and will have few takers
  69. L’ARTISTE MIL – Victorious in a Class F at Blain over 3,200m on 20 September. Faces a totally different challenge this time and is not a concern
  70. LABRAX DU SKY – Unplaced in a Class E at Laval over 2,050m on 24 September. Is still being conditioned and has nothing to offer
  71. LOUKOUM DE L’ITON – Ran 6th in a Class E at Vincennes over 2,850m on 20 September. Has otherwise been showing good consistency but in this category will struggle to make his mark
    Summary: LASCAUX (7) is the attraction of the race. Out of action for a long time, he remains unbeaten after seven starts, is behind in earnings, and can make his debut in the capital a victorious one. Blessed with plenty of speed, LOUVIERS (2) will lead the opposition alongside LAMA DE CORDAY (1), who was unlucky at Cabourg two weeks ago, and LAMENTIN (3), who has been excelling over recent weeks.

  72. OCARINA LEBEL – Untried filly that qualified in 1’20 at Caen in early-May and is not about to set off any fireworks
  73. OPHELISSIMA – Fifth in a Class F at Cordemais over 2,050m on 4 October, just over a month after faulting on debut at Bernay, and can expect to have few friends
  74. OMBELLE DE CRENNES – Fourth, on debut, in a Class F at Cordemais over 2,050m on 4 October. Has ground to make up though and is unlikely to influence the result
  75. OPERA QUEEN – Finished 4th, on debut, in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m on 11 September. Will have progressed for the run and, although unlikely to create an upset, can nevertheless hold her own
  76. OASIS DU CHOQUEL – Endured misfortune to finish 7th in a Class C over 2,150m here on 28 September, but can make a big splash if kept out of trouble
  77. ONLY AFRICA – Left a good impression when dominating a Class D at Cholet over 2,100m on 27 September. Has earned the right to come to Paris and will not be far off the mark
  78. ODYSSEE DE MAI – Comfortable winner of a Class E at Vichy over 2,200m on 19 September. Faces a superior lot this time but is clearly a useful future prospect and will not be far off the mark if she turns
  79. ON THE BEACH – Disqualified in a Class C over 2,150m here on 8 October. Has otherwise displayed very good aptitude for the game and with Matthieu Abrivard reining should not be underestimated
  80. OLYMPE DE BELINE – Fourth in a Class C over 2,150m here on 8 October. Has never raced beyond 2550m but still looks the classiest horse here and can get that maiden monkey off her back
  81. OLIVIA DE MER – Finished 6th in a Class B at Vincennes over 2,100m on 1 September, just under a month after coming 3rd in a 2250m Class C here, but is taking on too much this time
    Summary: OLYMPE DE BELINE (9) has shown a certain potential. Already proven with Alexandre Abrivard, she just gets the vote ahead of ONLY AFRICA (6) who showed a smart turn of foot when winning at Cholet late last month. Unlucky behind our selection here 2.5 weeks ago, OASIS DU CHOQUEL (5) should be backed with confidence. ODYSSEE DE MAI (7) steps up in category after getting off the mark at Vichy but has bags of promise and is unlikely to disappoint.

  82. JURASSIC – Ran 6th in a Claimer at Vincennes over 2,850m on 29 September. Is new to Enghien, and starts on the inside, but could still get a look in
  83. KOOPLES DE LARRE – Finished 4th in a Claimer at Vincennes over 2,850m on 29 September. Reliability not his strong suit, but appears to be on the right road and the draw will do him no harm
  84. JIM DU PALAIS – Finished 3rd in a Claimer at Vincennes over 2,850m on 29 September. Comes to Enghien with morale intact and from the 3 slot can give this a good go
  85. JOYAU DE MORTREE – Finished 10th in a Class E at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,825m on 30 September, 11 days after having won a Langon claimer, and is well-placed to make amends
  86. JICKY GIRL – Unplaced in a Class D Apprentices’ race over 2,875m here on 28 September. Will be more at home at this level, is well-positioned behind the car, and can finish closer this time
  87. JOYCE DE LA COUR – Finished 9th in a Class F Apprentices’ race at Amiens over 2,400m on 3 October, a month after running 4th in a Vire Class E. Is not a priority but can still pick up some prizemoney
  88. KOREA – Unplaced in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 30 September. Should find this category more to her liking and from the front row can give this a good go. Place chance
  89. JIOSCO DES OMBRES – Finished 13th in a Class F at Savenay over 3,100m on 27 September. Has looked very ordinary lately and can be passed over
  90. KONFINEMENT – Finished 3rd in an Apprentices’ race at Castelsarrasin over 2,375m on 13 September. Is new to the claiming category and tends to show more racing clockwise
  91. JINGLE PASS – Gave a fine account to win a Claimer at Vincennes over 2,850m on 29 September, just his second start for new trainer, and will not be available at 113-1 this time
  92. JODLEUSE MAG – Unplaced in a Class G Amateurs’ race at Rambouillet over 2,800m on 20 September. Has placed just once in 9 starts in 2026 and will have few friends
  93. JUNIOR DE PLAY – Finished 8th in a Claimer at Vire over 2,825m on 20 September. Won a claimer in August but under these conditions has no possible chance
  94. JOKER DES ISLES – Finished 8th in a monte Class F over 2,875m here on 8 October. Is here for a change of scenery and can be ruled out
  95. JACOTTE DE TIZE – Disqualified in a Class F at Agen Le Passage over 2,625m on 4 October. Has been a complete write-off since June and is unlikely to spice things up
  96. JAZZ LINOIS – Unplaced in a Class F at Marseille-Borely over 3,000m on 27 August. Form is headed in the wrong direction and chances are limited
  97. JAYZI DU BOURG – Disqualified in a Claimer at Vincennes over 2,850m on 29 September, 17 days after having won a claimer on turf, but the draw will do him no favours
    Summary: The form from Vincennes on 29 September looks key. JINGLE PASS (10) won smartly that day and a similar effort would see him confirm. JIM DU PALAIS (3) ran third and has pulled a good number here. KOREA (7) has been disappointing since June but the dip in category may be just the ticket. JICKY GIRL (5) returns to the harness code in good shape, goes barefoot for the occasion, and looks a marginally better bet than KOOPLES DE LARRE (2) who ran 4th in the race of reference.

  99. KUNAMATATA – Finished 10th at Craon over 3,500m on 28 September, when being prepped for this. Is plainly in race-mode and the draw will only work to her advantage. Chance
  100. KACEY BELL – Disqualified in a Class F at St Omer over 2,625m on 30 August. Has pulled a good number but would have better prospects on turf
  101. JEAN MADRIK – Third in a Class F Amateurs’ race at Vincennes over 2,850m on 6 October. Is unlikely to be sent out at 90-1 this time but is unlikely to be as competitive either
  102. ILLICO PRESTO FAC – Victorious in an Apprentices’ race at Segre over 2,700m on 4 October. Benefits from a good draw but would be preferred on turf
  103. JAWAX DE KERYANN – Finished 11th in a Class E Amateurs’ race at Vincennes over 2,100m on 2 October. Is reunited with Ann Kristin Rasmussen who ran 3rd with him in mid-December and cannot be discounted
  104. JUST FOR FUN – Won a Claimer at Vincennes over 2,100m on 6 October. Takes on a different lot this time but breaks in front, has ample speed, and can finish in the mix
  105. JACKPOT D’ORGUEIL – Finished 4th in a Class E Amateurs’ race at Vincennes over 2,100m on 2 October. Is not ideally-drawn, but is clearly on the right road and is unlikely to disappoint provided Sven Hoste successfully negotiates the start
  106. JACKSON HILL – Runner-up in a Class E Apprentices’ race over course and distance on 26 September, having won smartly at Vincennes 2.5 weeks earlier, and is in with a realistic chance of imposing
  107. JOCIE DU VILLARD – Failed to confirm September performance when 11th in a Class F Apprentices’ race at Amiens over 2,400m on 3 October. Is barefoot this time, but others still easier to support
  108. IRAFARA – Finished 10th in a Class G at Mauquenchy over 2,850m on 10 September. Has placed just once in 4 amateur appearances and is unlikely to spring any surprises
  109. KLARCK DE VANDEL – Unplaced in a Class E Amateurs’ race at Vincennes over 2,100m on 2 October. Has been fitted with 4 pads for the first time and Sébastien Laboutique will be eager to put things right
  110. KNITULIA – Finished 8th in a Class E Amateurs’ race at Vincennes over 2,100m on 2 October. Has not been at her sharpest lately, has yet to deliver at Enghien, but in present shape can pick up minor honours
    Summary: Winner under similar conditions across town before going close in a Class E here, JACKSON HILL (9) races shod this time but is still easy to like for the win. Florine Auber will, however, be legitimately wary of the useful KUNAMATATA (2) who is shod to preference for her first objective of the autumn. Fourth in the key race at Vincennes at the start of the month, JACKPOT D’ORGUEIL (8) is preferred ahead of JUST FOR FUN (7), who recently lifted a Vincennes claimer.
