  1. SHOLPANA – Filly by Wootton Bassett, the dam was unraced. She is a half-sister to Shandoz (Listed winner) and from a stable that can produce first time out winners
  2. MILLION BELLS – Filly by St Mark’s Basilica, the dam was unraced. Likely to improve for this run unless the betting vibes are lively
  3. ZAKETT – Filly by Charm Spirit, the dam won 2 races. She can improve for this debut run unless the betting patterns are positive

  5. RAFFAELLE – Filly by Ghaiyyath, the dam was placed a few times. Stable runners are respected on debut and she is worth a market inspection for clues
  6. CHIEMGAU – Newcomer by Pinatubo, the dam was unraced. She will likely improve for this run and others make more appeal
  7. ENGEL MEMORIES – Newcomer by Ectot, the dam won 3 races. She does not appeal as a likely first time out scorer and other could be more forward
  8. LUTECE – Filly by Night Of Thunder, the dam was placed twice. Some good aspects to her profile and from a trainer that knows the time of day. In the mix
  9. UPMANIA – Filly by Churchill, the dam won 1 race and was placed in a Listed race. Nice profile and worth a market check for clues
    Summary: Rose Lake has a top-class pedigree, she is out of Sea La Rosa (Gr.3, Gr.2, and a winner of the Prix Royallieu (Gr.1). Her trainer will have her well forward and ready to go. Her main threat could be SHOLPANA (1), who is a half-sister to Shandoz who scored in Listed class. UPMANIA (9) is one to consider with Maxime Guyon booked to ride. LUTECE (8) looks good on paper and is worthy of consideration on her first day at school.

SOLMARIS (12) could be the one that gives him the most to think about. His dam won a Listed race and was placed in Group races. He will be expected to play a lead role. ARAKI (11) is also one to pay close attention to, he is half-brother to the classy Nightime (Gr.3, Gr.2 winner and Group 1 placed). DOUBLE BID (10) was bought for 250,000 euros and is worth a market check for any support.

  23. DON’T SHUT ME DOWN – Fifth in a Class 2 Handicap at Deauville over 3,200m on 25 August and a winner before that at Vichy in July. He will be fit to go after a layoff
  24. BLACK SAXON – Excellent runner-up in a Class 3 Handicap at Lyon-Parilly over 2,400m on 15 September. Honest performer who can not be overlooked
  25. PRINCESSE D’AMOUR – Outclassed the opposition in a Class 2 at Craon over 3,000m on 28 September when last seen. Can make her presence felt
  26. A BEAUREGARD – Unplaced in a Class 2 Handicap at Compiegne over 2,800m on 15 September and a win before that in a Class 2 race at Deauville in late August. He needs to be more consistent
  27. FERDINAND PREMIER – Finished 15th in a Class 3 Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2,400m on 25 September. Won twice earlier in the year and he has to get back to that sort of form
  28. STEP MORNING – Not disgraced when third in a Class 2 at Craon over 3,000m on 28 September on his latest outing. Can have a say in proceedings
  29. MIGHTY BOY – Not disgraced when third in a Class 2 Handicap at Compiegne over 2,800m on 15 September and in form before that. Among the leading contenders
  30. RAM SEA – Unplaced in a Class 2 Handicap at Compiegne over 2,800m on 15 September. He can bounce back and make the top-four
  31. DEMPY – Unplaced in a Class 1 Handicap at Longchamp over 2,500m on 3 October and 2nd before that a Compiegne in a Class 2 race in September. Player

  34. RECOLETTY – Unplaced in a Class 3 Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2,500m on 2 October. She is talented but others are more persuasive
  35. ZARFLIGHT – Fifth in a Class 2 at Craon over 3,000m on 28 September on his most recent start. Others seem to be better equipped
  36. FANTASTICO – Came home 5th in a Class 2 at Angers Eventard over 2,100m on 21 September and out of form before that. Look elsewhere
  37. MEASTER OWEN – Finished 7th in a Class 2 Handicap at Compiegne over 2,800m on 15 September and won a Class 4 before that at Vichy in August. More to do in a better race
    Summary: DEMPY (10) is the tentative selection in a wide open handicap. He was a pleasing second on his penultimate start at Compiegne in September and is marginally preferred ahead of PRINCESSE D’AMOUR (4) who scored in a Class 2 race at Craon on her most recent start late in September over 3000m and has solid claims. STEP MORNING (7) is another to keep onside and can make his presence felt. MIGHTY BOY (8) has been in good shape recently and another good account can be expected. BLACK SAXON (3) looks best of the remainder.

  40. AMINACO – Latest success in a Class 1 Handicap at Longchamp over 2,000m on 13 September, and two wins before that. Steps up in class and he might find a few too smart
  41. BEST SECRET – Unplaced in the Hardwicke Stakes (Gr.2) at Ascot over 2,400m on 20 June and a win previously in a Group 3 at Parislongchamp over 2400m in May. Key chance

    Summary: Group 3 winner BEST SECRET (4), was not disgraced at Ascot in the Hardwicke Stakes (G.2) on his latest start in June and has strong claims on a track he likes. LAPOTHEOSE (9) can make life difficult for the selection. She has won four of her six starts, including the Prix Saint-Alary (Gr.2) in May and was second in the German Oaks (Gr.1) in August. ZARAKI (8) is lightly raced and has plenty more to come. He must be respected after a reasonable effort in the Prix Niel (Gr.2) last month. HERBAL (1) is also on an upward curve and can not be ruled out

  51. DARNATION – Not in the best form running 11th in a Group III over 1400m at Doncaster on the 13th of September 2026. Needs to redeem herself

  55. PIERCHIC – Confident 2nd in a Group III over 1800m at Chantilly on the 19th of September 2026. Strong winning chance

    Summary: PIERCHIC (9) was narrowly beaten into second in a Group III and Cristian Demuro looks ready to guide this talented filly in clinching this Listed contest. LAND OF LIBERTY (11) always makes her presence felt at the finishing line and she deserves acknowledgement as she will be firmly involved in the frame. HELLO AVENUE (8) will be flying at them once again and it would be of no shock if she ends up victorious. Her form makes her absolutely noticeable here. DARNATION (5) is not without a chance and wraps up the top four selection.

  62. FIRE FLY – Hard trying 10th in a Group III over 1200m at Deauville on the 30th of August 2026. Will be fighting for the backend of quartets
  63. ALMA MATER – Inconsistent 5th in a Class 3 Handicap over 1400m at Parislongchamp on the 10th of September 2026. Erratic of late
  64. ROSENINSEL – Difficult 8th in a Listed over 2000m at Salon-De-Provence on the 14th of September 2026. Others seem more intriguing

  66. FIGJAM – Ran 6th in a Handicap over 1200m at Haydock on the 26th of September 2026. Others preferred here

  74. INDIFFERENTE – Decent 5th in a Group III over 1400m at Parislongchamp on the 13th of September 2026. Can pop up if wise
    Summary: LEADING DANCER (13) was second in command in her previous attempt back at Newbury and as she has her debut run on French soil, she looks to take a power of beating in this competitive Listed race. QUIESCENT (14) already has a Listed race to her name and being a four-time winner already, she looks to keep adding to her winning tally. Her form strikes that she must be given serious consideration. CERAMIC (15) should not be discounted from any betting calculations. VADIROUMA (2) completes the quartet mix.

  84. ASTON CLINTON – Better effort into 5th in a Class 3 Handicap over 1600m at Chantilly on the 14th of September 2026. Each way chance
  85. ZASYMOKA – Not in the best shape running 8th in a Class 3 Handicap over 1600m at Lyon Parilly on the 6th of October 2026. Can bounce back to form
    Summary: MOOREA (4) delivered a hearty effort finishing sixth over the course and distance and returning here will see her seeking to make amends. She must have a lively chance in this field. ZASYMOKA (11) may not be in the best form of late but does have the opportunity to polish up on her current state in this division. ASTON CLINTON (10) is long overdue his second career win and it would be no surprise if he is successful here. MARKSWOMAN (5) is in lethal form and with Christophe Soumillon piloting her, She could spook her opposition.

    Summary: GRAND ART (4) comes into this race fresh off a solid victory and he could have a similar mindset here in following up on a good victory. ALLEZ FRERES (1) just broke the maiden spell in his last effort and his confidence will be on an upward trend resulting him in being competitive in this sort of field. EMBIEZ (3) has found herself winning four of her last eight starts and if the top two fail to deliver, she will be waiting to motor home into the winners box. ANDOUINS (8) holds a place chance here.

    R3 CAEN [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DE NEHOU – 2450m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Mounted – EUR € 24,000

  1. MELEUC DU DOUAROU – Finished 10th in a Class E at Laval over 2,850m on 24 September. Is freshly re-shod for monte debut and the engagement of Benjamin Rochard will win him support
  2. MAGNUM DU LEVANT – Disqualified in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 1 October. Form is not in question though and will have a lot to contribute if he stays trotting
  3. MAHORA QUEEN – Finished 3rd on comeback in a harness Class F at Rambouillet over 2,000m on 6 September. Has been re-shod for monte bow and, although unlikely to shake things up, should nevertheless hold her own
  4. MAHARADJAH ROYAL – Finished 12th when preparing for this in a harness Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 3 October. Would be preferred barefoot and is not a concern
  5. MAMBO BLANC – Disqualified in a Class E at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,825m on 28 September. Is shod as he was when 4th at Reims but still looks to be out of his depth
  6. MA JOLIE CHOSE – Made it 2 for 2 under the saddle when dominating a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 1 October. Mathieu Mottier in the saddle again and will take all the beating
  7. MONALYSA DU ROEN – Fifth, at 47-1, in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 26 September. A repeat, however, looks decidedly unlikely
  8. MOMINETTE – Finished 6th in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 26 September. Is clearly better than that, and sports a fresh profile, but others still preferred
  9. MOLLY WHITE – Unplaced in a harness Class D over 2,200m here on 10 October. Has been off the boil since the spring and can be confidently disregarded
  10. MAGIC DE TILLARD – Runner-up in a Class E at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,825m on 28 September. Has taken well to his new vocation and can challenge for a spot in first five
  11. MARGATE – Fifth in a harness Class D over 2,200m here on 10 October. Excellent in both monte starts this season and should prove competitive at the business end of the race
  12. MULANE DU BOCAGE – Finished 6th in a harness Class D over 2,200m here on 10 October. Has a lot going for her here and will be expected to finish in the frame
    Summary: Impressive when winning twice under the saddle at Cabourg, posting outstanding times of 1’12”7 and 1’12”8, MA JOLIE CHOSE (6) will be difficult to beat. Ideally-entered for her debut in the discipline, MULANE DU BOCAGE (12) is worth considering next, ahead of MARGATE (11), who has serious monte aptitude, and MAGNUM DU LEVANT (2), who opened his ridden account just last month.

  13. OH SO EASY – Nicely-related individual making career debut after having qualified in 1’20 here in July. Is not an obvious choice but will generate interest all the same
  14. OLYMPE DU PRESSOIR – Racecourse debutante that qualified modestly here 2.5 weeks ago and is unlikely to spring any surprises
  15. OLYMPIQUE BLANCHE – Ran 6th in a Class E at Les Andelys over 2,525m on 13 September. Showed promise in qualification here in May but may just be taking on too much
  16. ORADA BELLA – Finished 6th on debut in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,050m on 14 October. Is no star-in-the-making and can be passed over
  17. OLYMPE KAYZ – Disqualified in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,050m on 14 October. Is not about to lose her maiden tag and is unlikely to influence the result either
  18. OTHELLA DU CAMPUS – Second on debut in a Class D at Cholet over 2,100m on 27 September. Is sure to have come on for the race and with Alexandre in the bike this time can make a big splash
  19. OLGA STAR – Disqualified in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,200m on 18 September, having got off the mark at the first time of asking, and Robin Lamy will be determined to make amends
  20. OLBIA CASTELETS – Disqualified in last two starts, the latest a Class C at Enghien over 2,150m on 28 September. Is confirmed racing right-handed and looks a respectable first-five chance
  21. OLGAYA – Runner-up in a Class E at Angouleme over 2,200m on 4 October. Looks the best horse in the field this time and can get off the mark
  22. ONE MORE LIFE – Victorious in a Class E at Les Andelys over 2,525m on 13 September. Is just one of two winners here and her trainer will be keen to keep it that way
    Summary: OLGAYA (9), who was beaten only by a serious horse at Angoulême, OTHELLA DU CAMPUS (6), good second on her debut at Cholet, ONE MORE LIFE (10), who will have improved for her maiden win, and OLGA STAR (7), whose recent blip can be excused, are all realistic contenders.

  23. OTENTIK DE L’ENVOL – Untried and well-related colt that qualified in 1’19’9 here on 20 May and, if as good as believed, is unlikely to let the side down
  24. ODIN JOME – Disqualified in a Class D at Cholet over 2,100m on 27 September. Should not be too hastily-judged though and will be worth keeping an eye on
  25. OLD SOUL – Disqualified on debut in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,050m on 1 October, but has significant promise, and will not be far off the mark if he gets off on the right foot
  26. OPEN JAZZ – Pulled up in a Cabourg Class D on debut early this month and can be confidently disregarded
  27. OPIO DE LA VALLEE – Disqualified in a Class F at Laval over 2,050m on 24 September, having debuted rather modestly just over 2 weeks earlier, and is not an obvious choice
  28. ONE DIDO – Finished 3rd, on career bow, in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,050m on 1 October. Looks an interesting future prospect and his km reduction will not have gone unnoticed
  29. OPERA WOOD – Finished 4th in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,050m on 1 October. Is on the right road but still represents no more than a minor place prospect
  30. OFFSHORE MIJO – Fourth in a Class D at Cholet over 2,100m on 27 September. Is not without merit but would have better prospects at a lower level
  31. OTTO BILOU – Disqualified in a Class D at Agen Le Passage over 2,625m on 20 September, a month after having won on debut, but is out of his league here
  32. OURAGAN DE LA COTE – Made short work a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,150m on 8 August, first time out, and a similar performance would see him confirm
  33. ORION JIEL – Fifth in a Class C at Enghien over 2,150m on 5 October, 3 weeks after running 2nd at Reims, and will have his supporters
  34. OUTSIDER DE KACY – Facile winner, on debut, of a Class F at Reims over 2,550m on 13 September. Will have progressed for the race and has a realistic chance of repeating
    Summary: Very nicely-bred, OURAGAN DE LA COTE (10) made a winning debut at Les Sables-d’Olonne, beating a Westerink-trained rival who has since won at Vincennes. Yoann Lebourgeois will need to be wary though of OUTSIDER DE KACY (12), who was equally convincing on his own career bow. ONE DIDO (6) left a good impression first time out and will have improved, while newcomer OTENTIK DE L’ENVOL (1), a half-brother to Ninja De l’Envol, will be unsurprisingly well-supported.

  35. NAGOYA DE LOU – Unplaced in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 September, just over 3 weeks after running 2nd in a Vire Class E, but is still not a player
  36. NENESSE PECE – Disqualified in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 26 July, after having won 2 of 3. Comes here fresh and looks main danger to NOBLIA (7)
  37. NOBLESS DU NOYER – Finished 2nd, on comeback, in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,725m on 1 October. Will have progressed for the run and can again finish close
  38. NARISSA DE LOU – Ran 6th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 September. Has pulled a good number though and can pick up a cheque if she takes to Caen conditions
  39. NEZUKO JIEL – Disqualified in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 29 September. Seldom disappoints when focused and Gabriele Gelormini will be keen to put things right
  40. NAHINE D’OCCAGNES – Victorious in a Class E at Vichy over 2,800m on 19 September. Knows Caen, having qualified well here last month, and looks competitive for a place in the picture
  41. NOBLIA – Sent for a spell after comfortably winning a Class E at Cabourg over 2,725m on 21 July. Clearly means business though and can get straight back in the game
  42. NOGHERA COUNTESS – Has not been seen out since winning a Claimer at Enghien over 2,875m on 16 April and can be confidently disregarded
  43. NANA DU LEVANT – Has turned a corner since starting to race on turf, lastly 3rd at Craon over 2,750m on 28 September, but will struggle to make her mark here
  44. NEPTUNE D’AVE – Disqualified in last two, the latest a Class B at Argentan over 2,875m on 23 September. Drops back down the category-ladder but is still not a priority
  45. NICE CAILLERIE – Second in a Class E at Erbray over 2,675m on 30 August. Has shown considerable aptitude so far but seems to be taking on too much this time
    Summary: NOBLIA (7), unraced since winning at Cabourg in July, NENESSE PECE (2), who should not be too hastily-judged for faulting at Enghien, NOBLESS DU NOYER (3), who made a solid comeback at Cabourg, and NAHINE D’OCCAGNES (6), impressive winner at Vichy, all look capable of contesting the finish.

  46. MOLLY DU VALLON – Unplaced in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 2 October. Will appreciate returning to racing right-handed but is still not a priority
  47. MYSTIC D’AVE – Disqualified in a Class B at Graignes over 2,700m on 12 October. Is confirmed at Caen but recent results do nothing to help
  48. MY DREAM DU GRAIS – Finished 9th in a Class B at Graignes over 2,700m on 12 October. Has done nothing of note since late-June and is unlikely to spice things up
  49. MORNING NEWS – Finished 11th, on comeback, in a Class B at Rambouillet over 2,800m on 20 September. Stays shod and can be ignored
  50. MATADOR – Ran 6th in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,100m on 17 September. Will be fully-fit by now and should have a realistic chance of imposing this time
  51. MISTERIOSO – Unable to complete the hat-trick when 6th in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 27 September. Has delivered just once in 4 clockwise starts but still cannot be discounted
  52. MAGIC INSTINCT – Unplaced in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 27 September. Does spring the occasional surprise but is unlikely to under these conditions
  53. MINERVE DE VANDEL – Disqualified, when being prepared for this, in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 2 October. Simply excels when barefoot and will have her chances
  54. MISTRAL JENILOU – Finished 2nd in a Class B at Argentan over 2,875m on 23 September. Thrives with Yoann Lebourgeois who will be justifiably confident of a big run
  55. MUST DE BANVILLE – Excellent runner-up at Craon over 2,775m on 28 September. Has not finished outside first two since mid-June and is unlikely to start now
  56. MOON STAR FOR YOU – Runner-up in a Class B at Lisieux over 2,725m on 29 August. Is plainly on the right road but in this company looks a minor place prospect at best
  57. MOUNTAIN – Unplaced, when being conditioned, in a Class B at Cordemais over 2,800m on 4 October. Is in race-mode this time and, considering she scored a five-timer earlier in the year, will garner support
  58. MAMZELL L’AVENTURE – Finished 12th in a Class B at Laval over 2,850m on 30 September, her first start since the spell, and will have nothing to contribute
  59. MISTHOS CHRISTAL – Finished 8th in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 27 September, having imposed at Enghien the previous month, and, considering the entry, must be taken seriously
    Summary: There is little to choose between MATADOR (5), who has two races under his belt, MUST DE BANVILLE (10), at the top of his game and sporting a new shoeing profile, a similarly-reconfigured MISTRAL JENILOU (9) who excels with Yoann Lebourgeois, and MINERVE DE VANDEL (8), who runs barefoot for her first objective of the autumn.

  61. KRACK CLEA – Beaten only by a very good mare when runner-up in a Class A at Argentan over 2,875m on 23 September. Is patently in rude health and can bring the fight to IMAGINE D’ATOUT (12)
  62. ICARE WILLIAMS – Finished 5th in a Class B at Vincennes over 2,175m on 29 September. Is new to Caen and can expect to find this a stiff test
  63. IGO CLEA – Unplaced in a Class B at Vincennes over 2,175m on 29 September. Had encouraged 12 days earlier but still has more to find
  64. GARD – Runner-up, on comeback, in a Class D at Beaumont-De-Lomagne over 2,550m on 14 September. Is plainly in fine shape, imposed last time at the venue, and will be expected to finish in the mix
  65. HIS DREAM DE CAHOT – Second in a Class C Apprentices’ race at Enghien over 2,875m on 5 October. Has finished runner-up in 3 of last 4 starts but looks no more than a minor place chance this time
  66. IKURO JIEL – Unplaced in a Class B at Vincennes over 2,175m on 29 September. Has struggled to make his mark this term and best to hold off
  67. IRIS DES ROSEAUX – Unplaced under harness at Craon over 3,500m on 28 September. Gave an excellent account on monte debut, even though subject to the stewards’ wrath, and returns to the discipline with a potentially good hand to play
  68. HELIOS SI – Unplaced at Craon over 3,500m on 28 September. Has been disappointing over recent months and can be passed over
  69. HURIEL LUDOIS – Secured the hat-trick when successful in a Class C Apprentices’ race at Enghien over 2,875m on 5 October. Is just as comfortable racing right-handed, sports a fresh shoeing profile, and is unlikely to disappoint
  70. IDOLE OF LOVE – Unplaced at Gelsenkirchen over 2,600m on 10 October. Is, however, capable on a good day, although her chances appear limited this time around
  71. IMAGINE D’ATOUT – Tenacious winner of a Class B at Vincennes over 2,175m on 29 September, just her second start back. Comes here with morale intact and a realistic chance of confirming
  72. IT’S MY DREAM – Third in a Class B at Vincennes over 2,700m on 11 September. Seldom disappoints when barefoot, has won twice at Caen under harness, and should not be underestimated
    Summary: The winner should come from IMAGINE D’ATOUT (12), back in top form, KRACK CLEA (2), who found only Lambada Du Goutier too good at Argentan, IRIS DES ROSEAUX (8), who returns to the code with Mathieu Mottier in the irons, and JABLO DU CHENE (1), who can be forgiven his recent blip.

  73. LOVELY MILL – Made up for Vincennes blip when runner-up in a Class B at Rambouillet over 2,800m on 20 September. Is not always the easiest to gauge but, with form maintained, can challenge for victory
  74. LEONARDO DU DERBY – Ran 6th in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 12 August. Faces a less-exalted bunch this time and from the 2 slot will have a decent shot at picking up a cheque
  75. LA VIE EST BELLE – Disqualified in a Class B at Argentan over 2,875m on 23 September, just over 2 weeks after running 2nd in a Craon Class D. Showed her form though at Argentan and will be dangerous if her driver keeps her focused
  76. LIL BOSS ONLY – Fifth in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,850m on 9 October. Drops back down the category-ladder and from the 4 slot can finally return to winning ways
  77. LACIENDA FLASH – Third in a Class E at Challans over 2,900m on 11 October. Is as good in one code as the other and the draw will do her chances no disservice
  78. LADY POP – Finished 7th in a Class D at Pornichet over 2,725m on 19 September. Has otherwise been in good shape and the Mathieu Mottier-factor cannot be ignored
  79. LYRA POTERIE – Disqualified in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 2 October. Has twice failed to confirm her Cabourg success and others easier to support
  80. LA CALLAS – Won a Class E at La Capelle over 2,750m on 8 October. Is unlikely to repeat but breaks in front and will be no pushover if she takes to the new conditions
  81. LA KIFFANCE PIYA – Made up for Lisieux sanction when second in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,100m on 17 September. Gave a good account last time here and can get in on the action if Sebastien Ernault successfully navigates the start
  82. LOVELY JENILOU – Finished 6th in a Class D at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,650m on 26 August. Is preparing for a campaign in the other code and can be ruled out
  83. LUTIN DU PRATEL – Missed out on the hat-trick when second in a Class E at Angers over 3,125m on 9 September. Steps marginally up in category, and has pulled a 2nd row draw, but has earned the right to race here and must be respected
  84. LA VISTA HAUFOR – Finished 9th, on comeback, in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 30 September. Is still in conditioning-mode and can be ruled out
  85. LA STAR – Successful in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 30 September. Takes on a better lot this time, starts on back row, and is not a priority
  86. LOST IN PARADISE – Has not been seen out since being disqualified in a Class F at Saint Malo over 2,850m on 1 November 2025 and will have nothing to offer
  87. LYRE D’ERABLE – Surprise 3rd in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,100m on 17 September. Is not without merit but a repeat still seems most unlikely
  88. LILIE D’OMAHA – Unplaced in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 2 October. Has struggled to make any impact this term and can be passed over
  89. LET IT SNOW – Unplaced, on re-entry, in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 3 October. Has bags of ability but is here for reasons of conditioning and best to wait
  90. LET’S GO MAURICIEN – Starts for the first time since finishing runner-up in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 24 July. Shoes fitted and best to keep one’s powder dry
    Summary: This looks wide open. LIL BOSS ONLY (4), who finished strongly at Vincennes recently, LOVELY MILL (1), in form and ideally-engaged, LA VIE EST BELLE (3), reconfigured in a bid to make up for her recent sanction, and LUTIN DU PRATEL (11), who has not put a foot wrong since the spring, can be preferred to LEONARDO DU DERBY (2), who sports a fresh profile for his return to the provinces.

  94. JASON – Fifth in a good Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 17 September. Is plainly in decent shape and from the 4 slot will be no easy touch
  95. JACK DES ASS – Impressive winner of a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 5 October. Is one of the more exceptional horses here and looks main threat to JIPET DE CREPIN (8)
  96. HONEY KING – Finished 12th at Segre over 2,700m on 4 October. Starts in front here but her form figures do nothing to inspire confidence
  97. JAIN MAB – Victorious in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 7 October. Steps back up in category but still looks capable of making the frame once more
  98. JIPET DE CREPIN – Should not be condemned for failing to deliver in an Argentan Gr.3 late last month. Is clearly in fine condition and, even though starting wide, can impose
  99. HARMONY LA NUIT – Ran 7th in a monte Class C Apprentices’ race at Enghien over 2,875m on 5 October. Won her only start at the venue and can play a prominent role if Benjamin Rochard defies the draw
  100. ISIA DU CHENE – Unplaced over 2,450m here on 10 October. Is not the easiest of horses to use but has won 3 of 4 at Caen and must be afforded respect
  101. JINGLE DELO – Has not been seen out since coming 5th in a Class C at Laval over 2,850m on 3 June. Is barefoot for the occasion but is unlikely to create an upset
  102. HAPPY DANOVER – Ran 6th at Segre over 2,700m on 4 October. Faces a completely different task here and will have few friends
  103. GRAZIELA D’EL – Fifth in a Class D at Cordemais over 2,650m on 4 October. A repeat, however, is most improbable
  104. IN LOVE DE JIEL – Starts for the first time since finishing unplaced in a Class D Apprentices’ race at Vincennes over 2,850m on 18 September 2025 and will have nothing to offer
  105. IXELLE BLEUE – Disqualified in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 7 October. Is no slouch on a good day, and has placed here twice, but others still easier to back
  106. HERCULE DE LEAU – Makes first appearance since finishing unplaced in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 22 May. Has been out of sorts for the past year and must first reassure
  107. ISOCRATE D’ELA – Finished 3rd in a monte Class D Apprentices’ race at Vincennes over 2,850m on 17 September and is only here to be kept on the boil
  108. HAPPY FACE – Fifth in a Class C at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,700m on 30 September. Has pulled a rough number but is not incapable of getting a look in
    Summary: JIPET DE CREPIN (8) has valid reasons for his run at Argentan and looks the one to beat, but he will face serious resistance from the better-positioned JACK DES ASS (5) provided that Théo Duvaldestin manages to keep him focused. Recent winner JAIN MAB (7) is next on the list, ahead of HARMONY LA NUIT (9) who will be partnered by Benjamin Rochard. JASON (4) appears to be back on the right road and from the 4 slot can figure prominently.

    Summary: This looks a competitive affair, with several runners holding realistic claims. LUPIN DU BOURG (4) knows this track well and has been fairly consistent. He deserves to end a long losing run. LAMSOU SAN (9) also has plenty going for him and, racing with all four shoes on, looks a leading contender. LUDO PAROYO (12), could be a threat in a race of this nature. L’ALPHA DE LAUNI (8), a;lso has a winning chance.

    Summary: The runners look closely matched, but KOLMI DES EPINES (1) has impressed in his last two visits to Cabourg and is well drawn on the front row. He should be involved in the finish alongside KENNEDY TEXAN (2), who is capable of winning at this level, and KSAR UNIQUE (4), who goes barefoot for the occasion. KADOR DU RABUTIN (12) arrives on the back of a win in an apprentices’ race over this course. Although drawn in the second row, he should not be discounted.

MIKA RENARDIERE (5) has rediscovered his best form in recent weeks and, racing barefoot again, deserves plenty of respect. MERLIN DE MAHEY (3) can be temperamental, but has strong claims if keeping his composure. MERCURE (8), who races with his hind shoes removed, could also get involved with the finish.

However, she faces a serious challenge from MANOU DJOB (12), who was still well placed when making a mistake in late September. MUSE DU GOUTIER (8) won decisively last month and deserves another chance to follow up. MICKAELLA (10) has become more reliable and will be aiming to confirm her current good form.

  78. JAHIA DU TRIO – Has only been modest of late and finished 7th in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 7 October. Capable of winning a race of this nature
    Summary: Although making up ground from the second line is never easy on this track, those starting from the handicap look to hold the stronger claims. JAHIA DU TRIO (16) stands out as she drops in class and is a leading contender. JULIANO (15), has campaigned wisely so also merits serious consideration, along with JUNON DES ROSES (11), who has already shon promise with her current driver. JALENZA DU BOCAGE (12) represents a stable in excellent form and should not be overlooked.

    Summary: NALIUS (1) qualified in impressive fashion in late September and, with his trainer clearly confident, could make a winning debut. NEO DOM (12) was narrowly beaten in his first start and should not be long in opening his account. NUAGE DU LUDE (3) is likely to have done plenty of work ahead of his debut and is one to watch closely, while NOBLE BOY (2), who qualified during the summer, also merits consideration on his first appearance.

    Summary: ASPIC (4) has a much more manageable weight to carry this time and looks to have a good opportunity to bounce back. CHAMAWAVE (6) suffered a dose of bad luck last time and is worth another chance. NAUSICAA TROIS (2) is a strong finisher who has the ability to make amends off this weight.

    Summary: NO WAR LABOUEYRIE (8) has been imperious in his last two starts and will be bidding for a hat-trick, although he must concede two pounds to NEO DE LA BRUNIE (2), who chased him home at Toulouse. FORMIDABLE PECOS (5) is gradually finding his stride and should give another good account, while NEKTAR DE LAGARDE (3) also merits consideration after producing an honourable late effort on his latest outing.

    Summary: FOCOSA DU PECOS (8) has been flawless since making her debut and looks to have this field at her mercy. Victory is clearly the objective. FRENESIE DU PECOS (4) finished close behind her on their penultimate meeting, but will have to concede an extra kilo this time, making a reversal of the form more difficult. NOUSTE COLOR (6) is a consistent performer who deserves serious consideration, while PRIMAVERA (7)is in excellent form, also has claims.

    Summary: NERON DE LA BRUNIE (7) was beaten narrowly by SKALIBUR (6) at Toulouse on 23 September, when conceding his rival a kilo. They meet on level terms this time, and he looks capable of reversing the form. The remainder of the field looks more evenly matched, with RAPIDE DA CLODIA (8), who can force the pace, and FORBES DU PECOS (2), judged on his performances in the first half of the year, likely to fight for some honours.

    Summary: LOUXOR PONTADOUR (1) was an impressive winner of the Grand Prix des Anglo-Arabes at ParisLongchamp last month and is the obvious choice. He beat MOZARD DE LA BRUNIE (2) on that occasion, but the latter receives a kilo from him this time and could make more of a race of it. FANTASTIQUE (9) is very well treated on the weights and could finish ahead of EDANTZA (4), although the latter has a strong record on this track.

    Summary: HEROS DU MAS (4) produced a devastating late surge to win a closely fought finish at Craon on 8 September. ALLURE AREDIENNE (10) also finished strongly that day to claim third, narrowly behind JAKARTA TROIS (3), whom she meets again with a two-pound advantage. FARREL DU PECOS (6) has raced too freely on his last two starts, but it would be unwise to write him off just yet.
