C1 – PRIX ANDRE ADELE – 3600m (a2m1/4) – TURF – Handicap – Steeple Chase – EUR € 98,000

  1. KING PINEAU – Came home 8th in a Listed Handicap Chase at Auteuil over 4,400m on 16 May and 4th before that. Others make more appeal
  2. JUVAL – Victorious in a Handicap Chase at Moulins over 3,800m on 18 September. More is needed in what looks like a better race
  3. KEASY STORM – He did not complete the course last time when falling at Craon over 4200m in a Class 2 chase on September 27. He might need a few to misfire
  4. LAKADAME – Fourth in a Class 3 Condition Chase at Auteuil over 4,400m on 17 September last time out. Not to be taken lightly
  5. L’ARRABIATO – Fair 3rd last time out at Merano over 4000m in a Grade 1 hurdle on September 27 and a winner over fences three runs back at Clairefontaine in July. Holds leading claims
  6. DREAM DU LEMO – Came home 8th in a Class 3 Condition Chase at Auteuil over 3,500m on 12 September. Ought to be in the shake-up
  7. MANIYSA BLEUE – Showed promise and was third in a Class 3 Conditions Chase at Auteuil over 3,500m on 6 October. Top three contender
  8. ELIAN – Finished 6th in a Handicap Chase at Dax over 3,800m on 2 October. He might find this challenging
  9. HERALISTE – Failed to finish last time at Merano (ITA) in a Grade 1 chase on September 27, and three placed runs before that over fences. Key chance
  10. TUTTI BELLA – Pulled up last time, a win before that over 3900m at this track in a handicap hurdle on May 17. Absent since June and she has work to do
  11. HURRICK DES OBEAUX – Third in a Claiming Chase at Auteuil over 3,700m on 1 October when last racing. Can make the frame
  12. KATE DES GENIEVRES – Victorious in a Handicap Chase at Compiegne over 3,900m on 30 September. Capable of making her presence felt
  13. KING S BOUM – Won in a Handicap Chase at Auteuil over 4,400m on 1 March and a win before that at Pau in January. Back from a layoff and fitness is a concern
  14. FILIPPINO – In good form and finished 3rd in a Class 3 Condition Chase at Fontainebleau over 3,850m on 3 October. Can make the frame at nice odds
  15. HOKUSAI VALLIS – Victorious in a Handicap Chase at Auteuil over 4,400m on 26 September. Hard to ignore on a track he likes
  16. ITIEPY – Failed to complete the course at this track over 4400m in a Class 2 chase on October 17. Out again quickly and others preferred
    Summary: HERALISTE (9) is a former winner of a Grade 3 chase at this track and can be forgiven for his latest start in Italy in a Grade 1 chase when he failed to complete the course late last month. He is marginally preferred ahead of L’ARRABIATO (5), who scored at Clairefontaine three runs back over fences in July and was a decent third over hurdles in Italy in an Grade 1 hurdle late last month when last seen. MANIYSA BLEUE (7) has been placed over hurdles and fences recently and is an option each-way. LAKADAME (4) ran well at this track in mid-September when last racing in a Class 3 chase when fourth and is one to keep onside, as is DREAM DU LEMO (6), who looks best of the rest.

    HERALISTE (9) – L’ARRABIATO (5) – MANIYSA BLEUE (7) – LAKADAME (4)
    C2 – PRIX PETIT FONTAINE – 3600m (a2m1/4) – TURF – Class 2 – Hurdles – EUR € 51,000
  17. LION BLUE – Placed 2nd on the flat twice. He was pulled up on his sole start behind INSTANT FRAGILE (3) in a Class 2 hurdle on his latest start on October 1 over track and trip. Best watched for now
  18. MARTIN – Came home 4th in a Class 2 Condition Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,600m on 1 October last time. Warrants respect
  19. INSTANT FRAGILE – Recent success over 3600m in Class 2 hurdle at this track on October 1. Hard to overlook
  20. RIVERSIDE DAVIER – Ran well when 2nd over this track and trip in a conditions hurdle on September 12. Among the leading players
  21. KHALADAM – Two unplaced runs, the latter over this track and trip on October 1 in a Class 2 hurdle behind INSTANT FRAGILE (3). Unlikely to be a threat
  22. SILENCE ON TOURNE – Fair effort when 3rd over this track and trip in a conditions hurdle on September 12. He looks progressive and merits consideration
    Summary: INSTANT FRAGILE (3) was useful on the flat and won well on his hurdling debut in a Class 2 hurdle over course and distance at the start of this month. he will be hard to beat and looks like a smart prospect. He can be too smart for RIVERSIDE DAVIER (4), who ran with promise when second in a race for unraced over hurdles in early September having shown potential in two runs on the flat. SILENCE ON TOURNE (6) was back in third in the same race and he has a few lengths to find to reverse that form.

    C3 – PRIX AL CAPONE II – 4400m (a3m) – TURF – Class 2 – Steeple Chase – EUR € 55,000
  23. MACALO DE GREZ – Excellent runner-up in a Class 2 Condition Chase at Auteuil over 3,500m on 1 October and a win before that. Player
  24. MULOUGHBOY – Not disgraced when third in a Class 1 Conditions Chase at Compiegne over 3,450m on 30 September. Hard to ignore

  27. MISTRAL MORIVIERE – Finished 8th at this track in a Class 2 chase over 3500m on October 1. Two good runs before that including a win at Pau over hurdles in January in a Class 3 hurdle. In the mix

  29. MADE IN’K – Finished 3rd on his latest start over 3500m at this track in a Class 2 chase on October 1. Merits consideration
  30. MAGICIEN D’OR – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3500m at this track in a Class 2 chase on October 1. Look elsewhere
    Summary: MARIACHI (6) is a previous winner over hurdles at this track and was a decent third on his latest start in a Class 2 chase early last month over 3600m. Stepping up in trip today could bring out more progress and he is preferred ahead of MACALO DE GREZ (1), who ran a respectable race when second at this track on October 1 in a Class 2 chase. MULOUGHBOY (2) was placed in Listed hurdles at this venue and has shown promise in his two starts over fences. He can be involved, as can MISTRAL MORIVIERE (5), who makes up the shortlist.

    C4 – PRIX EMILIUS – 3600m (a2m1/4) – TURF – – Hurdles – EUR € 58,000
  31. NEVIS – Gelding by Cokoriko, the dam won 1 race over hurdles. Likely to step forward for this run and he does not appeal as a likely first time out scorer
  32. MISTER PARAMOUNT – Finished 5th at Craon over 3,000m on 28 September on his sole start on the flat. Hurdling bow and he is best watched with the future in mind
  33. MAGNUM VALLEY – Gelding by Nirvana Du Berlais, the dam won 7 races including a Listed chase. Nice profile and he is one to pay attention to on racecourse bow
  34. NONPAREILS – Victorious at Saint Brieuc over 2,400m on 4 October on his sole start on the flat. From a top stable that will have this gelding well tuned. In the mix
  35. NAVIGATEUR AND CO – Gelding by Cokoriko, the dam won 1 race on the flat. Stable runners tend to need a few runs to reach peak fitness and others could be more forward
  36. CELTIC HEIR – Gelding by Telecaster, the dam ran a few times on the flat. Likely to improve for this run and others make more appeal
  37. MA’O MANA – Gelding by Moises Has, the dam won 13 races, 1 on the flat and the rest over jumps. He is best watched on racecourse debut unless the betting says otherwise
  38. IRRESITIBLEMENT – Outclassed the opposition in a Maiden at Deauville over 1,600m on 1 September on the flat by four lengths. Hurdles debut and can be considered if staying this distance
  39. NOUS Y VOILA – Not disgraced when third in a Maiden at Argentan over 2,900m on 1 October on the flat. Tries hurdles and can make the frame
  40. IRONHORSE HAS – Colt by No Risk At All, the dam was placed over hurdles. From a top stable that can ready a newcomer to strike on debut. Can be involved
  41. PINOTCALO – Gelding by Hunter’s Light, the dam never ran in France. His trainer has three in the line-up and he might improve for this run unless any market support appears
  42. NOUVEAU CHAPITRE – Gelding by No Risk At All, the dam won 2 races over jumps. Respected connections and he is worth a market check for clues
  43. HOUSE OF LORDS – Gelding by Doctor Dino, the dam won 3 races including a Listed hurdle. Choice pedigree and one to consider if the betting patterns are positive
  44. POLYDAMAS – Gelding by Nathaniel, the dam won 8 races including two Grade 3 hurdles, and placed in Listed hurdles. Taking pedigree and from a leading stable. He will be well tuned for this opening run
    Summary: It may pay to side with MAGNUM VALLEY (3), who is entered in the Prix Cambaceres (Grade 1) in November and he is from a stable that will have him well prepared. He faces two threats, in the George/Zetterholm trained pair IRONHORSE HAS (10), who looks good on paper and can be expected to know his job, his stablemate POLYDAMAS (14) is out of a classy mare, who won eight races, including Graded hurdles. He has to be considered, as does NOUVEAU CHAPITRE (12) who will be nicely tuned for a bold show.

    C5 – PRIX GENERAL DONNIO – 4400m (a3m) – TURF – Listed – Steeple Chase – EUR € 88,000
  45. LUCKY NONANTAIS – Ran 7th in a Handicap Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,600m on 1 October on his last outing. Back over fences and warrants respect
  46. LISKARIA – Finished 2nd in a Class 1 Condition Chase at Auteuil over 4,400m on 2 May on his most recent start. Not to be taken lightly
  47. LEADER CONTI – Came home 8th in a Class 2 Condition Chase at Auteuil over 3,500m on 26 September. Tough task ahead of him
  48. HAPPY PEOPLE – Finished 5th in a Class 2 Condition Chase at Auteuil over 3,500m on 26 September and three unplaced runs previously. Hard to fancy

  53. LEGENDE ALLEN – Victorious in a Class 3 Condition Chase at Auteuil over 4,400m on 17 September. One to look at each-way
  54. ORNITHINE – Victorious in a Class 2 Condition Chase at Auteuil over 4,400m on 23 November 2025. Back from a layoff and others make more sense
    Summary: NEVERCHANGEDOCTOR (6) jumped well when scoring at this track on his chasing bow over 3500m and he is given the nod over LAGON BLEU (5), who was back in second when they both met late last month at this track. Both are racing over this extended trip today. LUCKY NONANTAIS (1) was a pleasing second in a Grade 3 chase at this track in March on his penultimate start and has to be respected. LISKARIA (2) is a winner over track and trip in a Class 1 chase in November 2025 and can feature.

  57. PREMIER CHANT – Threatening to win and was runner-up in a Class 3 Condition Hurdle at Moulins over 3,500m on 18 September. Seems progressive and has to be considered
  58. TONKAWA – Finished 3rd in a Handicap Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,500m on 1 October. Lightly raced and he has more to come
  59. KAMALA – Failed to complete last time, placed before that on her three runs, the latter at Dieppe over 3400m in a Class 3 hurdle on August 30. In the mix
  60. TROTINETTE – Finished 8th in a Handicap Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,500m on 1 October when last racing. Place claims
  61. SUMAVA – Came home 5th in a Handicap Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,500m on 1 October. She can make her presence felt

  64. THE FIST – Finished 7th in a Class 2 Condition Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,500m on 26 September. Not reliable and others make more appeal

  66. KASYMIR – Unplaced in a Class 3 Condition Hurdle at Clairefontaine over 3,400m on 29 June and below par before that. Looks vulnerable
    Summary: TONKAWA (4) ran a race full of encouragement when third over 3500m in a handicap hurdle at this track at the start of the month and this lightly raced gelding has more to come. His main threat could be SUMAVA (7), who was back in fifth in the same race and she can make her presence felt. KAMALA (5) could be a sensible option for the each-way backers to take seriously. PREMIER CHANT (3) is also worthy of consideration.

  70. NADURRA – Unplaced in a Listed Handicap Hurdle at Clairefontaine over 3,600m on 17 August and a win before that in July at the same track in a Class 1 hurdle. Look elsewhere

  72. BELIZE – Not disgraced when third in a Class 2 Condition Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,600m on 22 September. Not to be taken lightly
  73. DINADAME – Runner-up in a Listed Handicap Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,600m on 6 October and consistent efforts before that. Player

  76. MISSDENUO – Won in a Class 2 Condition Chase at Compiegne over 3,900m on 30 September. Returns to hurdles and faces a stiff task
    Summary: GOOD GIRL DE FAUST (2) will be sharper for a run on the flat 11 days ago and she is given the nod having won at this track previously in a Listed hurdle. Her main danger could be CHOEUR DE GRIVE (9), who reverts to hurdles after two wins over fences, the most recent at Compiegne late in September. DINADAME (7) ran well in a Listed handicap hurdle over this track and trip 16 days ago and is hard to overlook each-way. GORSTELLA (3) makes up the shortlist.

  80. BALMORAL – Threatening to win and was runner-up in a Handicap Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,600m on 11 October. Hard to ignore
  81. KABRIOLE DE SIVOLA – Won in a Handicap Hurdle at Auteuil over 3,600m on 11 October on her latest start. She has to enter each-way calculations

  92. JOSIE D ‘AJONC – Finished 6th in a Class 4 Hurdle at Le Touquet over 4,100m on 4 October. She lacks consistency and can be opposed
    Summary: JIKITO (3) has performed well on his last three starts runs at this track, which includes a win in May in a handicap hurdle over 3900m. He can be too smart for BALMORAL (4), who was beaten less than a length in a handicap hurdle over this track and trip 11 days ago and another good account can be expected. PETIT TRUC (1) will strip fitter for a recent second in a Class 4 hurdle 18 days ago and has to be respected, despite top-weight. LE ROI LOTH (2) is a winner at this venue over track and trip in October 2025 and heads the rest.

  1. THE BLACK FRIDAY – Has only been moderate of late and finished 6th in a claimer at Nantes over 1400m on 1st July. Needs to find a few lengths to beat these rivals
  2. OROPENDOLA – Has only been modest so far and finished 6th in a claimer at Vichy over 1400m on 22nd September. More is needed to score
  3. SKAROS – Has not shown much so far and was 8th in a claimer at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on 8th October. More is needed to win
  4. DICANTO – Did not run too badly when 6th in a Class 2 Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 1200m on 14th October. Has won a claimer and could be a threat
  5. NYMPHENBURG – Not disgraced when fifth in a Class 2 Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 1200m on 14th October. Can contest the finish
  6. WESTMINSTER FIRE – Has been well beaten in two starts, the latest when 11th in a Conditions race at Craon over 2650m on 27th September. Capable of improvement but others make more appeal
  7. HERMES DU HAUT – A bit of a disappointment when only 8th in a Conditions race at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 1400m on 28th September. Did better on debut and can be a lively danger
  8. GONAFOOT – Knocking very loudly at the door and was runner-up in a claimer at Deauville over 1300m on 5th October. Can go one place better

  13. QUEEN STAGE – A two-year-old filly by Ardad out of Elizabeth Bennet who is making her debut. Her dam won once in just three starts. Can be a threat
    Summary: In excellent form, SLIPPER ORCHID (11) should play a leading role in this company. APPEN (9) has never disappointed over this distance and will be a danger. Judged on her excellent debut, HERMES DU HAUT (7) is a viable outsider. GANAFOOT (8) is at the top of her game and looks a contender as well.

Behind the selection, Pierre Menard’s two runners, EXCESSIVENESS (2) and PLUMBAGO (9), are also capable of playing leading roles. KHAMEPHIS GAME (1) should benefit greatly from the softer ground and can also make the frame.

  32. SHALIMAR – Yet to win a race but is in good form and was runner-up in a Class 3 Conditions race at Nort-sur-Erdre over 2500m on 4th October. Capable of earning some money
  33. ROBERTO PESTO – Has only been moderate of late and was 7th in a claimer at Sablé-sur-Sarthe over 1650m on 20th September. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  34. DERAWLINA FIDJIS – Improving and was victorious in a Class 3 Conditions race at Nort-sur-Erdre over 2500m on 4th October. Can follow up trying a handicap
  35. LA SALUTE – In good form and finished 3rd in a Class 3 at Nort Sur Erdre over 2,500m on 4 October. Can play a minor role
  36. ABRONZAL – Consistent and was fourth in a handicap at Lyon-La Soie over 2400m on 11th October. Yet to win but can fight for top honours yet again
  37. DREAM D’ARMOR – Has only been modest so far and was fifth in a Class 3 Conditions race at Nort-sur-Erdre over 2500m on 4th October. More is needed to score
  38. ADVENTURA – In good form and was runner-up in a Conditions maiden at Argentan over 2900m on 1st October. Can go one place better
  39. ZELZANA – Threatening to score and was runner-up in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2500m on 11th September. Big chance in this line-up
  40. GLORIO – Has only been moderate of late and was 7th in a claimer at Clairefontaine over 2400m on 3rd August. Could need this run after a short break
    Summary: ADVENTURA (9) has been knocking on the door and deserves to win, as does ZELZANA (10), whose last two outings have been excellent. Despite carrying top weight, the consistent LILLY’S LIGHT (1) looks capable of making her presence felt, as does POWDER (2), who is worth watching closely on her handicap debut.

  56. BALINA GARY – Has some fair recent form and finished 4th in a handicap at Senonnes over 2100m on 19th September. Might earn some minor money
    Summary: Trainer Thierry Poché looks to hold a strong hand in this handicap with LOU MARINA (2), who should benefit from the softer ground, the dangerous late finisher LELLA DESJY (7), and HAMILTON DESJY (1), whose form is reliable. If in the mood, TESTIPEDRO (11) is also capable of finishing in the first four but it is a very open looking race.

  72. PRINCESSE MAIA – A three-year-old filly by Saint des Saints out of Maia Dancer who is making her debut. Her dam never raced. Could make the frame
    Summary: With so many inexperienced runners, this race is extremely difficult to predict. However, the pick is OR ROSE DU GRENAT (2), who made an encouraging debut. Several of the unraced runners boast interesting female lines, notably NEW ROQUE (9), NINA JERSEY (14) and PRINCESSE MAIA (16).

    Summary: With the benefit of the very soft ground and against this opposition, ISMAEL PAINT (6) should play a leading role, despite the presence of MRS HOLIDAY (8), who is well weighted. Always effective over this distance, ALBERTINELLI (4) deserves consideration. MICHELANGELO (2), currently in excellent form, is an interesting outsider.

  86. MARCHEMALO – Did not show his best when 8th in a claimer at Deauville over 2500m on 5th October. Unreliable but can’t be ruled out

  90. ROSA RUGOSA – Has shown improvement of late and was victorious in a Conditions race at Rostrenen over 2200m on 7th June. Tougher task returning from a break
    Summary: Recent winner I AM PARADOU (7) looks capable of following up, despite the presence of LE SAGE (2), who should benefit greatly from the softer ground. The consistent TOP TOWN TELL TALE (1) is capable of finishing in the first three. ZVALIKOVA (6) always gives her best in competition and has to be considered a possible winner.

  1. KELSAM DU RUISSEAU – Disappointing 6th in a Class F Apprentices’ race at Reims over 2,500m on 14 October, having imposed at Cavaillon the previous month, and the pressure will be on Justin Maillard to set the record straight
  2. KAZAN DE VANDEL – Was unable to confirm Craon victory when unplaced in a Rambouillet Class F 11 days ago. Gave a fine account on lone start at the venue and from the 2 slot can give this a good go
  3. KUSAERI – Unplaced in a Class E over 2,750m here on 3 October. Is in his category this time, has pulled a good number, and can challenge for the win
  4. KAVRIK DE GUEZ – Successful in a Class E Apprentices’ race at Paray-Le-Monial over 2,625m on 11 October. Consistently gives his best and can figure prominently if he takes to the new conditions
  5. KILLER DE CAHOT – Starts for the first time since running third in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,100m on 7 February and is going to need the run
  6. KAID MARTIN – Unplaced in a Class E at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,775m on 21 August but has been fitted with 4 pads for the first time and will be expected to get back into the game
  7. KHEOPS SAINT CLAIR – Unremarkable element that ran 8th in a Class F at Les Andelys on 13 September and in this category can be ruled out
  8. KOZIELLO DE LOU – Has been disqualified in 7 consecutive starts, the latest a Class F over 2,750m here on 16 September, and can be confidently passed over
  9. KING OF DAY – Unplaced when preparing for this in a Class E at Argentan a month back. Won for Alexandre Lefaucheux on their sole association and must be taken seriously
  10. KRAC BOREAL – Disqualified last time out in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 7 October, 3 weeks after running 3rd over 2750m here, and while not a priority, will have his supporters
  11. KARO DAIRPET – Finished 2nd in a Class F over 2,750m here on 16 September. Takes on a tougher bunch this time but sports a new profile and should not be overlooked
  12. KABRI – Disqualified in a Class F at Durtal over 2,825m on 11 October. Has buckets of ability but has little going for him this time
  13. KOPEK BOURBON – Unplaced in a Class F Apprentices’ race at Savenay over 3,125m on 27 September. Is confirmed under these conditions but will first need to reassure
    Summary: KELSAM DU RUISSEAU (1) will have to overcome the disadvantage of drawing slot one behind the car, but nevertheless has the ability to win a race of this nature, as do KUSAERI (3), who has form with Gilles D’Haenens, KAVRIK DE GUEZ (4), recent winner going clockwise, and KING OF DAY (9), who has been reconfigured for the occasion.

  16. OLINA BELLA – Starts for the first time since finishing fifth in a Class E over course and distance on 4 August. Esteban De Jésus in the bike this time and is well-placed to give this a good go
  17. ORIANNE DE L’AUNAY – Disappointing 7th on debut in an Alencon Class F last Sunday and will need to show marked improvement
  18. OMAHA JENILOU – Fifth in a Class F at Laval over 2,050m on 24 September, first time out. Was not given a hard race that day, but looks a serious proposition this time around
  19. OLYMPE DE BOISNEY – Disqualified in a Class E at Bihorel Les Rouen over 2,500m on 4 October. Has yet to show any aptitude for the discipline and is not about to begin now
  20. ORFEE DANEPIERRE – Has not been seen out since coming 7th in a Class D at Enghien over 2,250m on 26 July. Paul Ploquin in charge this time and is not out of the equation
  21. OTTAWA DES RIOULTS – Posted a solid 1’18’7 in qualification over 2000m here on 15 September. Is not ideally-drawn for racecourse bow but should still be good enough to make first five
  22. OBRA TEJY – Made little impact in qualification at Laval a month ago, posting 1’20’8, and is unlikely to shake things up
  23. OLYANNA – Disqualified on debut in a Class D under these conditions on 14 October. Left a good impression nevertheless and, despite a second-row draw, still looks a player
    Summary: Thomas Levesque looks to hold strong cards with OMAHA JENILOU (5), who made a solid debut at Laval, and OLYANNA (10), who showed ability despite being disqualified here last week. OLIVE D’ANSY (2), partnered by Benjamin Rochard again, could split them though. OLINA BELLA (3) has a pair of runs under her belt and will be fresh for her first objective of the autumn.

  25. OTHELLO D’AVE – Ran 7th in a Class D under these conditions on 1 October. Did place over course and distance last month but looks a minor place chance at best this time
  26. OCTAVE QUARTO – Finished 4th in a Class G at Evreux over 2,100m on 27 September. Leading pilot at the helm this time and will be expected to finish closer
  27. OURSON DE LASTELLE – Disqualified in a Class E at Angouleme over 2,200m on 4 October. Has yet to wow connections and others easier to back
  28. ORAGE VINCI – Finished 3rd in a Class E at Angouleme over 2,200m on 4 October. Is unlikely to repeat but can nevertheless give this a good go
  29. OTHELO DE LA LONDE – Close second in a Class G at Evreux over 2,100m on 27 September, first time out. Will have improved for the run, starts in front, and can again finish close
  30. OMEGA DU FER – Has been disqualified in all 3 starts to date, the latest a Class B at Enghien over 2,875m on 12 October, and others easier to trust
  31. OKENOBI DAIRPET – Could well have won on debut when disqualified in a Class D at Cholet over 2,100m on 27 September, and the engagement of Yoann Lebourgeois can make all the difference this time. Claim
  32. OMEGA SANTIGNY – Qualified in 1’17’6 at Caen 3 weeks ago but has been handed a tough draw and is unlikely to spring any surprises
  33. ONE DAYDREAM – Set off no fireworks in qualification when posting 1’20’7 at Caen 3 weeks ago, and can be passed over
  34. ONLY MAN – Qualified in a good 1’18’3 under harness at Grosbois on 11 August. Hails from a yard firing on all cylinders and can make his debut a victorious one
    Summary: Entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois, OKENOBI DAIRPET (8) will be expected to make amends for his debut elimination when challenging for victory. Principal opposition should take the form of ONLY MAN (11), whose qualification did not go unnoticed, followed by OTHELO DE LA LONDE (6), who was beaten by little first time out, and 4th-placed OCTAVE QUARTO (3) who should improve with Benjamin Rochard in the bike.

  37. NEVER D’AVE – Disqualified in a Class E under these conditions on 19 September. Has bags of ability and will be dangerous if Yoann Lebourgeois keeps him trotting
  38. NEVADA HAUFOR – Opened his account after securing a Class F at Craon over 2,275m on 6 July. Has not been seen out since, and makes his debut on sand, but still looks competitively well in
  39. NATIF DU MEU – Finished 3rd in a Class E at Vichy over 2,800m on 19 September. Should appreciate Cabourg conditions but in this company will show his limits
  40. NORTON KEN – Won a Class F at Bihorel Les Rouen over 2,500m on 11 October. Has gone from strength to strength since his mid-August debut but is still taking on too much
  41. NIKOS DE TROIS – Finished 2nd in a Class F at Savenay over 2,600m on 27 September, following 4 straight eliminations, but is clearly in top condition and must be taken seriously
  42. NUCIFER – Disqualified in a Class E at Enghien over 2,150m on 26 September. Is not devoid of ability but is not about to spice things up either
  43. NYANGA – Second in a Class F at Reims over 2,550m on 10 October. Has done nothing but improve since returning to competition, but still needs to find more
  44. NELSON CHARENTAIS – Finished 2nd in a Class E at Challans over 2,900m on 11 October. Finds himself in superior company this time and is unlikely to create an upset
  45. NINO SOLO – Successful in a Class E at Blain over 2,600m on 20 September. Faces a stiffer test this time around but should nevertheless hold his own
  46. NEVERSOIS – Ran 6th in a Class E over 2,725m here on 1 October, 2.5 weeks after imposing at Bernay, and would have better prospects on turf

  48. NEGOCIATEUR MAGIC – Lost his maiden tag when successful in a Class F at Rambouillet over 2,000m on 11 October. Is unlikely to confirm but will not be sent out at 87-1 this time
    Summary: NIKY DU LOGIS (1), who was disqualified after finishing third last time out for a start-related offence, the temperamental but talented NOOKER (2) who is back to racing shod, NEVER D’AVE (3), entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois this time, and the reconfigured NIKOS DE TROIS (7), are all capable of winning this race in which focus will have a major bearing.

  50. MANZANA CASTELETS – Disqualified in last two starts, the latest a Class F at Graignes over 2,700m on 17 October, on monte debut. Antonin André gets the nod this time and will have her supporters
  51. MISS VASTERIE – Finished 10th in a harness Class G at Lisieux over 2,725m on 11 October and quite simply has no possible chance
  52. MA ROBERTA – Finished 10th in a harness Class F at Caen over 2,200m on 28 September, her first start for 2 months. Has form under the saddle but will struggle to make her mark this time
  53. MARQUISE DE PUCH – Unexceptional filly returning to the discipline after being disqualified in a harness Class F at Bihorel-lès-Rouen last weekend and can expect to have few takers
  54. MEVOILA VIVANCIERE – Has been disqualified in 3 consecutive starts, the latest a Class F under these conditions on 16 September. Is a new arrival in the Bazire yard and will be re-shod with Paul Ploquin aboard. First five
  55. MA JOLIE JIEL – Disqualified in a harness Class F at Amiens over 2,400m on 3 October. Is first-time barefoot for monte debut and, on good behaviour, could pleasantly surprise

  59. MALICE LUDOISE – Finished 3rd in a Class E at over course and distance on 1 October. Has taken a liking to Cabourg conditions and should prove competitive at the business end of the race

  62. MELUSINEDARCHE – Has not been seen out since coming 3rd in a Saint-Malo Class F on 11 August. Enjoys an excellent entry though and has a realistic chance of making the frame
    Summary: MOLITA (12), solid on re-entry and shod as she was when twice a winner at Caen before the layoff, MILADY (10), shod to preference for her monte debut, and MALICE LUDOISE (11), close to her race, can be preferred to MELUSINEDARCHE (14) who benefits from an excellent entry here.

  65. MIGNON DES MACE – Finished 11th in a Class E at Laval over 2,850m on 24 September. Is useful for the most part but will first need to reassure
  66. MAXIMUS DECIMUS – Pulled-up in a Class F at Saumur last Sunday. Is undeniably capable but would have better prospects at a lower level
  67. MALKER D’ALOUETTE – Easily got off the mark in a Class F at Vichy over 2,950m on 12 September. Has had ample time to get back to his best, starts in front, and the choice of driver speaks for itself. Claim
  68. MYTHIQUE RENKA – Disqualified in a Class E under these conditions on 1 October. Has done little of note this year and is unlikely to set off any fireworks
  69. MACHISTADOR – Victorious in a Class F at Rambouillet over 2,000m on 20 September. Faces a much stiffer challenge this time but has been reconfigured and cannot be discounted
  70. MANDARINO FLEURY – Disqualified in a Class E at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,700m on 12 October. Will have come on for the run and in the hands of Benjamin Rochard will be afforded every chance
  71. MISTER LANDEMER – Finished 2nd in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 3 October, after having won a brace at Le Mont-Saint-Michel, and is easy to fancy for a place in the picture
  72. MY HERO – Finished 8th in a Class E at Enghien over 2,150m on 7 October. Is not a priority but is associated with Antonin André and should not be overlooked
  73. MIRACULOUS DANOVER – Finished 2nd in a Class F at Durtal over 2,825m on 11 October, however confirmation seems most unlikely
  74. MYTHE D’ERABLE – Unplaced in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 28 July. Enjoys a good entry and racing barefoot may be just the ticket to his redemption
  75. MILLENIUM JIEL – Disqualified in last two starts, the latest a monte Class D at Enghien over 2,250m on 10 August, and will have other priorities
  76. MERCATO D’OLIVERIE – Has not been seen out since being disqualified in a Class B at Laval over 2,850m on 1 November 2025 and is going to need the run
  77. MULTIPASS – Fourth in a Class D over course and distance on 14 October, after having run second at the same venue the previous month, but is unlikely to repeat
    Summary: Partnered by Yoann Lebourgeois, MALKER D’ALOUETTE (5) looks capable of following up his recent impressive Vichy win, but he will still face resistance from MYTHE D’ERABLE (12), racing barefoot for the first time, MON RETOUR D’OSCAR (1), who should not be condemned for his recent run, and MISTER LANDEMER (9), who just missed out on the hat-trick.

  78. LE BEAU CIEL – Finished 8th in a Class F at Niort over 2,475m on 20 September. Is better than recent results would suggest and with Lebourgeois back in the bike can start to put things right
  79. LE HAVRE – Disqualified in a Class F at Ecommoy over 2,750m on 13 September, having placed at Amiens 8 days earlier, but others still easier to trust
  80. LAZAAL – Victorious in a Class F at Vire over 2,800m on 20 September. Is plainly back on track and Arthur Rebèche can be justifiably confident of another good run
  81. LAOS JIEL – Pleasant 4th in a Class F at Gournay-en-Bray on 27 September but has a lot more to find this time around
  82. LARIMAR – Finished 12th in a Class E at Caen over 2,450m on 10 October, his first start since April. Shoes on again and is not a concern
  83. LUCKY LOVE THANA – Comfortable winner of a 2550m Class F at Gournay-en-Bray late last month. Has earned the right to race in this company and securing the double is well within his capability
  84. LEADER BEACH – Unplaced in a Class E at Caen over 2,450m on 10 October. Pleased in last 2 Cabourg starts but appears to be off the boil
  85. LEADER DE L’AUMOY – Unplaced in a Class E at Vincennes over 2,700m on 6 October. Has otherwise been in good shape but would have better prospects at a lower level
  86. LATINO DES ISLES – Unplaced in a Class F at Angers over 3,125m on 18 October. Is here for a change of scenery and will have nothing to offer
  87. LE CAP – Ran 7th in a Class E at Vincennes over 2,700m on 6 October. Left a good impression here in early-September though and must be afforded respect
  88. LITTLE KING – Fourth in a Class E at Caen over 2,450m on 10 October, a month after having imposed at Villedieu-les-Poëles, and will have his supporters
  89. LITYGE DE CYM – Moderate element with better aptitude for the other code, although recent results don’t even bear that out
  90. LATHOS DE VIVOIN – Finished 7th in a Class E at Paray-Le-Monial over 2,625m on 11 October, after having placed in 3 of 4. Is not a leading contender but in the hands of Paul Ploquin can make his presence felt
  91. L’AMOUR D’ETANG – Finished 11th, on comeback, in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 3 October. Is still being conditioned and best to hold off
  92. LIPTON DU NOYER – Finished 2nd in a Class E at Paray-Le-Monial over 2,625m on 11 October, confirming his Amiens run, and considering the entry must be considered a priority
  93. LOBAYE – Runner-up in a Class D over course and distance on 28 August. Comes here fresh, has a lot going for him, and Jean-William Hallais will be determined to go one better this time
    Summary: LOBAYE (16), re-shod, ideally-engaged and in cracking form, LUCKY LOVE THANA (6), convincing winner at Gournay-en-Bray, LIPTON DU NOYER (15), close to his race, LE BEAU CIEL (1), racing barefoot for his reunion with Yoann Lebourgeois, and LAZAAL (3), back in business, are all capable of bringing home the bacon.

  95. KETCHUP – Successful in a Class E Apprentices’ race over course and distance on 1 October. Has turned a corner this autumn and again looks competitive for the win
  96. JULIUS DU THEIL – Disqualified is last 2 starts, the latest a Class F at Graignes over 2,700m on 12 October, and has nothing to contribute
  97. JEDI – Finished 8th in a Class E at Le Croise-Laroche over 2,825m on 30 September. Has done nothing noteworthy since the spring and is not about to start now
  98. KILDARE OF LOVE – Unplaced in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,700m on 13 October. Presents solid right-handed references but still seems to be out of his depth
  99. JUVENIA DU CLOSET – Unexceptional mare that has yet to show any particular flair for the discipline and will have few friends
  100. JAKA DU RUEL – Unplaced in a harness Class D over 2,725m here on 14 October. Has been exceptional under the saddle the year, will be barefoot for the occasion, and should not be underestimated
  101. KORINTO BELLO – Beaten only by a very good horse in a Class E at Angers over 3,125m on 9 September, and a similar run would see him win this time
  102. JASONDOR DU VINOIS – Made short work of a Class E Apprentices’ race at Alencon over 2,650m on 4 October. Has form with William Dersoir-Habib and must be considered a player
  103. JUMPER MATIDY – Handy individual returning to a hard surface following a pair of eliminations on turf. Has no particular love for Cabourg though and others preferred
  104. JACAR DE LA DIVES – Finished 3rd in a Class F at Enghien over 2,875m on 8 October. Benjamin Rochard in the bike and will not be available at 73-1 this time
  105. JOHN MAGIC – Disqualified in a Class E Apprentices’ race at Cholet over 2,800m on 20 September, after having placed in both codes the previous month, but is being aimed too high here
  106. KING DE PLAY – Ran 6th in a Class E Apprentices’ race at Alencon over 2,650m on 4 October. Has looked decidedly ordinary for some time and is unlikely to trouble the opposition
  107. JAZZ SESSION – Is back under the saddle after running 4th in a Rambouillet harness Class E earlier in the month but will struggle to make her mark at this level
  108. JUDICIEUSE PRIOR – Ran 7th in a Class H at Savenay over 3,100m on 27 September. Is not devoid of ability but others still easier to support
  109. KAMIKAZE – Runner-up in a Class D at Laval over 2,850m on 30 September. Has been excelling for some time and can open his Cabourg account
    Summary: KORINTO BELLO (8), who found only one too good at Angers, and KAMIKAZE (16), patently at the top of his game, look the horses to beat, however they can expect significant opposition from the likes of KETCHUP (2), who excels at Cabourg, KOKTAIL DE JANZE (1), who is always easy to recommend, and JASONDOR DU VINOIS (9), who was most impressive on his return to the ridden code at Alençon.

  1. LOUKPAN – Has some fair form and finished 5th in a Maiden at Lyon-Parilly over 1,600m on 6 October. Could play a minor role
  2. MONSIEUR CHARLIE – Came home 4th on debut in a Conditions race at Chantilly over 1,600m on 29 September. Should fight out the finish
  3. MAG MAS – Has only been modest so far and finished 7th in a Maiden at Chantilly over 1,400m on 7 October. More is needed to score

    Summary: A son of a Prix de l’Opéra (Group 1) winner and a brother to a horse placed in the Prix Dollar (Group 2), FRIAR TUCK (9) could make a striking debut. However, he will need to be wary of MONSIEUR CHARLIE (2), who made an encouraging debut in a strong field. VALIANTUS (4) and OURGAME (7) are closely matched on paper, have made promising starts to their careers and deserve plenty of respect.

  19. BLUE STAR – A two-year-old filly bySealiway out of Mon Etoile who is making her debut. Her dam won once in 8 starts. Others make more appeal
    Summary: From an interesting female line, BUKORISHIA (3) made a respectable debut during the summer and should soon get off the mark. However, she will need to be wary of MATANA (2), who produced an encouraging effort on debut. QUEEN OF DIAMONDS (7) and BELLE DE REVE (5) made their debuts together in a decent field and could show significant improvement.

IMDALA (11), who recently opened her account, heads the opposition. DELAJA (14), who is well placed near the bottom of the weights and ARAYA (8), who is improving, also could have a say in the finish.

DINA QUEEN (1) faces competition better suited to her at this point in her career, she should relish the slight drop in trip and challenge here. PERSIAN DEVA (9) last ran in July, she improved on her penultimate on that occasion and could run well after her rest. HATSLIANA (11) is well drawn and positioned at the weights so she could earn a minor cheque.

  86. WOOTIQUE – Unplaced in a Maiden at Compiegne over 1800m on 9 October 2026. First visit to the track last time, will need the run
  87. KUUTAMO – Dam was lightly raced but did achieve a first place finish in a handicap in Great Britain. This individual is from a successful yard and could earn here
  88. INOUI – Dam was a Group III winner and successful in handicaps and listed races as well. This individual will make for an interesting watch
  89. PRECIOUS LADY – Dam had a few Listed and Group race appearances but was at best a Conditional winner. Can give this individual a pass this time
    Summary: SIRAT (1) has been eager to get off the mark and was not far off last time. He is fairly positioned in the race and could finally pull the trigger. MAGUELONE (3) has had three positive runs so far in his career. He was not disgraced last time out in second and could give the judge some trouble at the line. VALIKA (6) was not far off in her last appearance. She is well positioned at the weights and could be competitive here. INOUI (11), Dam has already produced winners and Group race contenders. This individual can be competitive.
