| C1 – PRIX HOTEL ESCALE OCEANIA PORNICHET – 2725m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 20,000 |
1. J’Y PENSE – Sanctioned in a 2850m Class E at Maure-de-Bretagne early last month and, in current form, has no possible chance
2. JAVA DU PLESSIS – Showed improvement when 2nd of 10 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F mid-June but appears to be biting off more than she can chew this time
3. JEWEL CASH – Delicate but very talented type making first appearance since last December. Front shoes off but will need the race
4. JAMAICA DE LOU – Disappointing in all 4 starts this term, most recently faulting in a 3200m Montmirail Class F on 30 June. Front shoes off again and the engagement of Paul Ploquin must be seen as a positive sign. Outsider of interest
5. JUST RAPID – Has been in fine shape this season, barring 3 sanctions, latterly in a 2800m Moulins-la-Marche Class F late last month. In better company this time but, if applied, can nevertheless get in on the action
6. JACOB DE MIENNAIS – Useful for the most part when focused but lacklustre 12th of 14 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E late-June and must first reassert his credentials
7. JEAN MAJYC – Raced better in a 2050m Cabourg Class F 9 days ago than his 5th place would suggest and should be competitive for a place in the frame
8. JONCTION HAUFOR – Sanctioned in a 2950m Vichy Class E a fortnight ago when clearly going well. Never easy to gauge but reverts to a previous formula and will have a lot to offer if Damien Bonne keeps her trotting
9. JOW PIQUENARD – Somewhat below-par 5th of 14 in a Class F over course and distance a week ago. Champion driver reining this time and can impose
10. JEROMINUS TURGOT – Drops in class after coming 5th of 16 in a 2150m Enghien Class E late last month. Trainer back in the wagon and has every chance of opening his summer account
11. JOUEUR DU LUPIN – Won a 2825m Chartres Class E 2 months ago. Comes here fresh and, even though shod this time, still looks a respectable first-5 prospect
Summary: Nicely-engaged here and currently enjoying a good run of form, JEROMINUS TURGOT (10) takes a dip in category and looks thoroughly capable of winning a race of this nature. Similarly on a fine streak, JOW PIQUENARD (9) did not however live up to expectations here last week, but with Eric Raffin reining, can put things right. JEAN MAJYC (7) made up for his Amiens sanction earlier this month and the engagement of Benjamin Rochard will only work in his favour. Calling the reconfigured JONCTION HAUFOR (8) complicated may be something of an understatement but her talent is not in doubt and, with application, can make a big splash.

| C2 – PRIX JLR – 2650m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 23,000 |
1. IDEAL DE SASSY – Good campaigner that is clearly back at his best, most recently 3rd of 11 in a 2700m Vire Class E on 1 July, but could have gone closer that day and can impose this time
2. IDEFIX DES LANDES – Courageous 4th of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class D a month back. Enjoys a good spot behind the car and has the wherewithal to make a big splash on Pornichet debut
3. IGOR VICKING – Not short of ability but disappointing of late. Faulted in a 2825m Chartres Class D late-June and despite a decent draw here, nevertheless appears to have too much to do
4. IBLIS GEMA – Decent 4th of 11 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class F last week. Benjamin Rochard in the wagon this time and, ideally-positioned in front, will afford his charge every chance
5. CRALGIDO SM – Has ample ability but sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class D 2 weeks ago. Sports a previous configuration, with Eric Raffin reining, and will not be far from the action if he can keep him trotting
6. I KEEP CALM – Won at Laval late-April but has twice failed to confirm, most recently 6th behind IDEFIX DES LANDES (2) in a 2850m Laval Class D mid-June. Has won twice at Pornichet in the day’s configuration and must not be overlooked
7. IDEAL DU DIGEON – Very hard to fault in last 3 starts, most recently 3rd of 13 in a 3200m Montmirail Class E on Sunday. Has no references here, and starts wide, but is fitted with front pads and will be competitive for a minor place cheque
8. ILMAT DES KECHES – Quality element that came 4th of 12 in a 2800m Pontchâteau Class D early last month but shoes back on this time and best to wait
9. CETIZ – Handy Italian mare taking first steps on French soil. 2nd over 2100m in Naples late May, comes here fresh and unshod behind, and while not a priority, Paul Ploquin reins and will have her supporters
10. CAROLYN FRANCIS – Unplaced in both starts since returning to competition, latterly last of 10 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago, and can be ruled out
11. LET IT BE VP – Has little to write home about since coming south. Sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class D late June and has no realistic chance
12. BOLD REQUEST – Fine Swedish raider making French debut off the back of a good 3rd over 2140m at Solvalla late-May. Has had time to acclimatise and will be expected to put on a fine show. Chance
13. INTREPIDE DES BOIS – No slouch on a good day and most recently 4th of 10 finishers in a 2100m Vincennes amateurs Class G a month ago but has little going his way here and others preferred
Summary: Tenacious winner at Caen before placing at Vire 10 days ago, IDEAL DE SASSY (1) benefits from a good entry, races with just hind shoes for the occasion, and Damien Bonne will be loathe to pass up such a good opportunity. BOLD REQUEST (12) is forced to break from the 2nd line but has serious form at home in Sweden and, even though shod for the occasion, can figure prominently. IDEFIX DES LANDES (2) scored at La Roche-Posay before pleasing at Laval and from the 2-spot, looks a player. CRALGIDO SM (5) is not the easiest of horses to handle but is shod differently this time and will be no pushover if he stays in stride.

1. IRPIEU DE VARVILLE – Imposed at Maure late-April but failed to confirm when 6th of 7 in a 2800m Chartres Class F 3 weeks ago. Similarly-shod and redemption anticipated
2. HERACLES DU LAYON – 6th of 8 finishers in a Class F under these conditions last week and can be confidently ruled out
3. ILDA DE BERTRANGE – Returns shod to the monté code after trotting 3rd of 13 in a 2825m Sablé-sur-Sarthe harness Class F on 30 June. Sanctioned, however, in all 3 previous monté starts and can expect to have few takers
4. HUNE DE CONDE – Sanctioned in a 2725m harness Class F here last week. Has never made any impact under the saddle, has been disappointing since 2022, and will have few, if any, friends
5. IN LOVE DE L’ITON – 5th, a place behind HERACLES DU LAYON (2), in a 2850m Laval Class F 2 weeks ago. Leading jockey onboard this time around and can wrap this up
6. ISABELLA KILY – Pulled-up in a 2825m Vire Class F 10 days ago. Is never easy to gauge but hind shoes off this time and will have her supporters
7. IQUEM NARCY – Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2800m Cholet Class F early-May. Debuts for the Bonne stable and, barefoot for the occasion, will have a lot to contribute if focused
8. IF DE LA COUDRE – 9th of 12 when preparing for this in a 2800m Chartres harness Class F 3 weeks ago. Has shown significant potential under the saddle and must not be underestimated
9. IOKO TARTIFUME – Made up for his May sanction when 4th of 7 in a 2800m Class G at Castéra-Verduzan 11 days ago. Front pads fitted but still has more to find
10. HELEGANE JASMA – Disappointing on the whole for some time, most recently 7th of 10 in a 2825m Class F at Sablé-sur-Sarthe late last month, and can be passed over
11. IONA GENDREENNE – Barring the occasional sanction is seldom far off the mark. Encouraging 2nd of 8 finishers in a 2900m Bourigny Class F on 22 June and, on good behaviour, can trot her way into the money
12. IMPACTS LUDOIS – Useful in both codes, but surprisingly sanctioned in a 2200m Vichy Class G on 25 June. Back to racing left-handed and should logically make amends. Place prospect
13. HERACLES DU LILAS – Has merit but totally off the boil this year. Faulted in a 2700m Segré harness Class F mid-June and must get his act together
Summary: In form and back on the right road following a series of clinkers, IN LOVE DE L’ITON (5) is barefoot for the occasion, with Eric Raffin in the irons, and is in with a realistic shout of winning this. IQUEM NARCY (7) is a tough nut when focused, makes his first appearance for his new handler and, with application, can play a leading role. Winner at Maure-de-Bretagne before being sanctioned at Vichy, IMPACTS LUDOIS (12) has previously won at Pornichet and must be taken seriously. Relatively new to the monté discipline, IF DE LA COUDRE (8) left a very good impression at Chartres 2 months ago and returns to the code with legitimate ambition.

1. HYSOPE DU BOCAGE – Has thrived since returning to racing barefoot, latterly 4th of 14 in a 2700m Segré Class E 11 days ago. Boasts a fine record at the venue and, from the front row, can give this a good go
2. HELIOS DJEMA – Unbeaten in 4 starts this year, latterly romping in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E on 16 June. Front pads fitted again and will take all the beating
3. HURRICANE WIND – Authoritative winner of a 2875m Enghien amateurs Class F, on re-entry, late last month. Eric Raffin in the sulky this time and looks main threat to HELIOS DJEMA (2)
4. HAUTENTICA – Reassuring 3rd of 17 in a 2675m Class D at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 2 weeks ago. Starts on the front line but cannot be considered a priority
5. GENERAL DE CONNEE – Generous type that came 2nd of 13, at 23/1, in a 2450m Caen Class F on 24 June. Change of drivers but not an obvious choice this time around
6. GAROU PIERJI – 7th to FINGER DES BORDES (8) in a 2800m Pontchâteau Class E mid-June, when being conditioned. Shoes on and best to hold off
7. HASUR DAIRPET – Took some time to get going this term but runner-up in last 2, latterly to FINGER DES BORDES (8) in a 2800m Pontchâteau Class E mid-June, but represents no more than a minor place chance
8. FINGER DES BORDES – Imposed at Pontchâteau at 100/1 mid-June before coming 6th, behind GIANINA BELLA (9), in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Is no champion but nevertheless has the capacity to pick up come crumbs
9. GIANINA BELLA – Blows hot and cold but is plainly in form, most recently 4th of 16 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Olivier Raffin reins this time and will be competitive for a first-5 spot
10. GOLD D’ECROVILLE – Sprang an 18/1 surprise winning a 2750m Class E at La Capelle on 16 June, but a repeat seems improbable
11. HAITIAN FIGHT SONG – Would have finished 2nd/3rd behind HELIOS DJEMA (2) in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E on 16 June had she stayed in stride. Benjamin Rochard at the helm this time and should figure prominently if he can keep her trotting
12. HERO SIBEY – Facile winner of a 2975m Jallais Class E mid-June. Has never disappointed here, incurs the penalty but Eric Raffin will be ably replaced by Damien Bonne this time. Chance
13. FOGO PICO – Sanctioned twice after winning at Vincennes, most recently in a 2950m Vichy Class D mid-June, and others easier to trust
14. FEELING BOY – Disappointing of late despite having bags of ability. Sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class C on 23 June and must get his house in order
15. GLOIRE DU LUPIN – 13th of 16, on return to competition, in a 2675m Class D at Le Mont-Saint-Michel a fortnight ago. Front shoes off this time and, if fully fit, can get a look-in
Summary: Winner of all four starts since the turn of the year, HELIOS DJEMA (2) stormed up at Cherbourg last time out and from the front line, can make it 5 on the trot. Leading the opposition is the similarly well-placed, and reconfigured, HURRICANE WIND (3) whose recent return to competition was simply astonishing. HERO SIBEY (12) has 25m more to travel but has been superb so far this season and, reverting to a proven formula, looks dangerous. Very hard to knock for the past 2 months, HYSOPE DU BOCAGE (1) is not to be ignored.

1. KRUNCH FOR MONEY – Sanctioned as often as not, most recently in a 2525m Class F at Les Andelys 11 days ago, and can expect to remain friendless
2. KONG DODVILLE – Has won 2 of 3 to date, latterly with style in a 2850m Laval Class G 8 days ago, and has every chance of repeating
3. KETBERNY – Not without merit and 5th to KSAR DE MONE (4) in a 2975m Jallais Class F mid-June, but in this category will have too much to do
4. KSAR DE MONE – Has looked a different horse of late, most recently 2nd of 14 in a 2975m Jallais Class F mid-June. In a tougher field this time but can still play a small role
5. KAISER FROMENTRO – Got off the mark in a 2550m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class F late last month, at the 18th time of asking. Unlikely to repeat but, with form maintained, can figure prominently
6. KLASSIC WINNER – Took some time to come to hand this term but reassured when 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F early last month, and will not be sent out at 54/1 this time
7. KRONOS DES LANDES – Placed in 2 minor events before faulting early in a 2800m Chartres Class E late last month and is being aimed too high here
8. KAFU – Came in a good 4th of 12 finishers in a Class F over course and distance last week and, competitively-shod, is unlikely to disappoint. Place chance
9. KING SUN DRALIAM – Unraced since coming 6th of 9 in a 2700m Graignes Class E last November and is unlikely to spring any surprises
10. KOBE BEJI – Has found his way since starting to race unshod-behind. 4th of 10 in a 2825m Class F at Le Croisé-Laroche on 24 June and will be worth keeping an eye on
11. KENTUCKY DERBY – Difficult type but won a 2200m Vichy Class F smartly late last month. Nivard appoints Ploquin to take over in the sulky and he will be expected to apply the pressure on KONG DODVILLE (2). Chance
12. KOKTAIL LUDOIS – 2nd only to a very good horse in a 2950m Vichy Class E 10 days ago. Entrusted to a leading driver for the occasion and is not to be underestimated
13. KOKO DU CANTER – 2nd on return to competition late-May before winning a 2700m Segré Class F in the middle of June. Steps up in category but still looks good enough to hold his own
Summary: One of the least-experienced horses in the field, KONG DODVILLE (2) has nonetheless displayed excellent aptitude for the game and, reunited with Eric Raffin who guided him to maiden victory, will be expected to confirm his recent Laval success. It will not be all plane sailing though if the tricky KENTUCKY DERBY (11) can replicate his recent Vichy romp. The consistent KAFU (8) left a good impression here a week ago and, with front shoes off this time, will be expected to go closer. KOKTAIL LUDOIS (12) got back down to business at Vichy recently and Benjamin Rochard has been engaged to ensure a more competitive performance.

1. KIZIA STAR – Back on the right road following a couple of mid-season blips, coming 2nd of 9 in a 2500m Questembert Class H late last month. Takes a significant step up in category but pleased on lone start with Matthieu Abrivard reining
2. KATOUNE DE MAI – Modest filly that finished last but one in a 2775m Craon Class F just under 3 weeks ago and will struggle to make any impact
3. KAMILLA FRANCE – Showed promise at 3 but below-par this year. Came 7th of 12 in a 2850m Laval Class E on 13 June and is not about to shake things up
4. KARLESS DANICA – Took no time getting down to business following her long layoff, latterly winning a 2525m Class F at Les Andelys 11 days ago. Hind shoes off for the first time and despite the step up in category, looks competitive for a payday
5. KERMESSE DU PARC – Has progressed respectably, most recently trotting 2nd of 11 in a 2625m Class F at Saint-Jean-de-Monts late last month. Shoes back on though and best to hold off
6. KAHIRA DES MARES – Disappointing since winning at Graignes in April. Reverts to racing unshod-behind and can make up for faulting in a 2850m Class F at Maure-de-Bretagne early-June
7. KYOKA BOCNEUF – 6th of 11 finishers in a 2825m Sablé-sur-Sarthe Class F on 30 June and will need to raise her game considerably
8. KELLE BELLE JASMA – Lost her maiden tag in a 2975m Jallais Class F on 16 June. Will have come on for the run, comes here with morale intact, and looks a player
9. KANAILLE DU LUPIN – Serious future prospect that was sanctioned on re-entry early-June in a 2650m Alençon Class F. Has never disappointed when shod and is capable of giving KISS ME DU BOULAY (10) a run for her money
10. KISS ME DU BOULAY – Quality filly that was a surprisingly lacklustre 10th of 12 in a 2850m Laval Class E on 13 June but Yvonnick Dousset will be loathe to allow the same thing to happen a second time. Claim
11. KAIPIRINHA – Last of 4 finishers, but did not disappoint, in a 2600m Class F at La Roche-Posay on 23 June. Has a lot going for her this time and will be no shrinking violet
12. KALIAH DES LANDES – Rather disappointing 6th of 8 in a 2800m Chartres Class E on 30 June. Sébastien Hardy could not have hoped for a better entry though and looks a decent first-5 prospect
Summary: Simply superb in her first three starts this year, KISS ME DU BOULAY (10) should not be too hastily judged for her recent clinker and can more than make amends by winning this. She will still come up against resistance from the likes of the tricky KANAILLE DU LUPIN (9) who returns to racing barefoot, and a similarly unshod KELLE BELLE JASMA (8) who got that maiden monkey off her back last time out. KAIPIRINHA (11) has yet to get off the mark but she sports a new configuration, with Eric Raffin reining, and will also have her chances.

1. LORD DAIRPET – Disappointing on the whole this year but showed improvement when 6th of 7 in a 2800m Chartres Class D 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to cause an upset but can still make first 5
2. LINCOLN HAWK – Made amends for his debut fault when scoring nicely in a 2225m Laon Class F a month back and is well-positioned to give this a good go. Place chance
3. LEELOO MATCH – Failed to confirm her late-June performance when 9th of 12 in a 2950m Vichy Class E 9 days ago, and can be passed over
4. LUTIN JABA – Won at Durtal mid-June before faulting, when full of running, in a 2950m Vichy Class E 9 days ago, but can play a leading role if he stays in stride
5. LOUISIANE LEMAN – Serious future prospect that came a very good 3rd of 10 in a 2850m Laval Class E late-May. Comes here fresh and, from the front line, can bring home the bacon
6. LAUREL – Below-par in last 2, latterly last but one in a 2200m Vichy monté Class E 10 days ago, and his left-handed references are unlikely to cut the mustard
7. LAZIO – Takes first public harness steps after winning a 2825m monté Class F at Sablé-sur-Sarthe on 9 June. Has had time to recuperate and can make a big impact if form transitions. Chance
8. L’ENCYCLOPEDIE – Form has regressed since imposing on debut, most recently 8th of 12 finishers in a 2200m Caen Class D late last month, but has merit and will generate some interest
9. LYMKA PRINCESSE – Sanctioned in all 3 starts to date, and has not raced since December. Disregard
Summary: Winner on debut 2 months ago, LOUISIANE LEMAN (5) subsequently left another good impression at Laval next time and will take some beating. That said, the progressive LAZIO (7) recently lost her monté maiden status and could well repeat first time under harness. JMB’s complicated LUTIN JABA (4) would have finished close at Vichy had he stayed in stride and Romain Congard will be out to make up for his boss’s ‘error’. Put away for 2 months after his debut sanction, LINCOLN HAWK (2) did everything right at Laon last month and must be respected.

1. HORYVIL DES MOYEUX – Returned to victorious ways late last month, winning a 3450m amateurs Class H at Agon-Coutainville. Goes shod this time but is not incapable of repeating
2. HARCANGE – 5th of 10 when preparing for this in a 2600m amateurs Class H at Saint-Pierre-la-Cour in middle of June. Pleased on lone appearance here and, with front shoes off this time, can play a leading role
3. GALET DU LEON – Unlucky 5th of 14 finishers in a 2775m Craon amateurs Class G on 23 June. Has already won twice this term and, from the front row, can set the record straight
4. HABANO DE GENNES – Disappointing since winning at Meslay earlier in the year, most recently 7th of 9 finishers in a 2700m Erbray amateurs Class H on Sunday, and backs up with limited prospects
5. HOLY D’AIMTE – 4th of 8 finishers in a 3100m amateurs Class H at Nort-sur-Erdre early last month. Has never delivered at the venue but at this level, looks a serious proposition
6. GARDE A VOUS COSSE – Honest type but disappointing 10th of 12 in a 3100m amateurs Class H at La Gacilly last weekend. Breaks in front but still not easy to make a case
7. HERMINE SIMARDIERE – 5th of 13 in a 2850m Laval amateurs monté Class G 8 days ago. Barefoot this time but is here for a change of scenery and can be passed over
8. HERMIONE DARCHE – Considerably better than her recent 8th of 12 in a 2675m Erbray amateurs Class H performance would suggest. Benefits from a front-row start and, even with shoes on, warrants respect
9. FANNY CAT – Reassuring 5th of 12 in a Class H under similar conditions here last Saturday. Just front shoes off this time and, from the 2nd line, will need to find more
10. FAB RUSH – Last but one when preparing for this in a 2500m Molières Class H last Sunday. Excels at Pornichet and even with shoes on, can make his presence felt
11. GUIGNOL DES FORGES – Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2300m Le Mans monté Class F last October. Shoes on and no threat
12. FUNKY JULRY – Respectable 6th of 13 in a 2800m amateurs Class F at Sablé-sur-Sarthe late last month but needs to take his game up a level in order to compete for a slice of the pie
13. EQUALITY – Can prove a handful but reassured when 6th of 8 in a 2725m Cabourg amateurs Class F last week. Has nothing to prove in this category and can get a look-in
14. FIFTY WINNER – Has decent amateur references, and has won here, but sanctioned in a 2975m Jallais Class H early-May. Comes here fresh but still not easy to like
15. ECRIN DU LAYON – 10th of 12, behind HERMINE SIMARDIERE (7), in a 2850m Laval amateurs Class G last week. Just hind shoes on this time but is still out of his depth
Summary: Front-row starters have the advantage here and GALET DU LEON (3) can expect significant support considering he would have won at Craon had he not faulted turning for home. François Berthault will nonetheless be keeping a keen eye on the unshod-behind HOLY D’AIMTE (5) who has taken well to the new category, and the in-form, and reconfigured, HARCANGE (2) who has come close more than once this term. HORYVIL DES MOYEUX (1) is back doing what he does best in the amateur category and even though shod this time, still looks a player.

4. HARIBO DU DOME – Ran well when 5th in a class F at Vichy over 2150m on 30 June. He is seldom far off them and was a runner-up at this track in May. Can go close
5. GAIA DU CHERISAY – Well beaten 10th in a class F at Bernay over 2800m on 7 July. Not in the best of form and reverts to barefoot

Summary: OZAT (3) comes from the Fabre stable and comes into the race fresh off a victory at Lyon Parilly over 1600m. His overall form is solid and he is selected to follow up. DONAMAY (8) won on debut and followed up with an encouraging 4th at Compiegne. She has strong each way claims and can be followed into the future. GOLIGHTLY (5) backed up her win with an encouraging 2nd and based on that, has to be given serious claims. AZILIA (4) should be right there and is a natural for the quartet.

4. BOHEMOS – Placed 5th at the second time of asking over 1400m at Compiegne in a claiming race on the 22nd of last month. Strong place chance
5. RUE DU PERCHE – Daughter of Galiway out of a Fast Company mare that might need a run or two to tighten up. Watch the betting trends for more. Pass by
6. TIBERIANA – A first timer that will need to be very good to beat this field on debut, but watch the betting trends as race time looms
7. CALA BONITA – Ran a good race on debut finishing 5th over 1400m and with natural improvement, could be difficult to oppose. Strong win
8. EYWA – Caught the eye last time albeit in a claiming race when 2nd over 1400m at Compiegne. Strong each way claims
9. FARFA – Finished 4th over 1350m at Angers last time out and will need to do way more for the win. Outside quartet chance at best
10. BYGRACE – Finished 5th over 1350m at Angers last time out and more than that is required for the win. Prefer others
Summary: CALA BONITA (7) caught the eye on debut when finishing just off the winner and placed horses. She ran 5th and with natural progression, should go close to getting it all right. RETT ANGEL (1) did win a claiming race but followed that up with an encouraging 2nd over 1400m in early June and can fight out the finish. EYWA (8) is running well, albeit in claiming races, but she is showing some talent and is one for the shortlist. VIVRE LIBRE (2) is a must for most bets, especially, the quartet.

1. GOLDFIELD – Placed 11th last time out but did win before that over 1300m at this course. An outsider with a very small place chance
2. MAGIC PERSEVERANCE – Will need to build on recent form but has shown talent before. Hard to assess but can never be ignored
3. VITESSE – Running well, placed 3rd over 1600m in Handicap class at Toulouse on the 19th of June and has strong each way claims
4. WIKENDA – Finished only 10th over 1400m at Compiegne in a weak claiming race and would be a surprise winner despite winning penultimate. Unlikely
5. CHIRICCO – Placed 2nd at penultimate and followed up with a fair 5th over 1100m in a Handicap at La Teste on the 27th of last month. Good chance
6. MAITRE D’ARMES – Lightly raced, finished 2nd at penultimate start over 1700m at Granville and has an outside place chance for the quartet
7. TANIS – Taking time to win, ignore last run, finished 2nd over 1400m at Chantilly before that in a Handicap and deserves the utmost respect. Big chance
8. ETEL – Was a winner three races back but has not shone thereafter. Hard to assess but do far prefer others
9. BAIGNADE – Lightly raced, last run when 6th over 1700m is a small concern. Prefer other and happy to ignore
10. GRACELLA – Will need to do way more than most recent 6th over 1350m at Angers over 1350m and is therefore hard to make a case for. No
11. ALIMAYA – Is hard to fancy on current form and can be ignored from all bets for today. Pass by
12. WAY TO MARBELLA – Will need to progress on recent 5th over 1600m at Parislongchamp on the 13th of last month. Prefer others
Summary: TANIS (7) can be forgiven for her last run but judged on the penultimate effort when 2nd at Chantilly. She has strong each way claims. VITESSE (3) boasts consistent form and should trouble the judges at the finish. If she were to win, it would be no shock at all. MAGIC PERSEVERANCE (2) is a tad off form currently but has shown some form before. She has more of a place chance than a winning one today, but is a must for all bets. CHIRICCO (5) has as strong place chance and should win the maiden soon.

15. WILD N’BEAUTIFUL – Dam won three times in Germany over 2200m & 2400m. The yard aren’t known for getting them ready first time out. One to pass by
16. SEPTIMUS – Dam won three times over 1500m & 1900m including a win at Listed level but this gelding could need the experience. Others make more appeal
Summary: OSCAR (7) looked ready to win a maiden before being thrown into the deep end in a Group 3 where the form has worked out very well and now back against maidens, he sets a very high standard and looks hard to oppose. EVERGREEN (5) has produced two fair efforts to date and should be involved for the placings. SOEUR (13) has improved with her two efforts to date and can earn. SAILAWAYWITHME (12) has been consistent in the maiden ranks and should be there or thereabouts once again.

16. GLORY NIGHT – Dam won twice on the flat over 1400m & 1600m. This filly is likely to need a few runs before shaping up.
Summary: IN MY LIFE (12) made a pleasing introduction to racing and the step up in trip looks set to suit her down to the ground. She is one of the leading lights. LIKASA (7) was a clear second on debut but would have tightened up with that run under the belt and will make her presence felt in a big way. MR L’APOTHICAIRE (5) was 1.5L behind Likasa on debut and is 2kgs worse off at the weights but can place. GRAND STARS (13) showed promise on debut and should make good improvement on that.

16. MOUSSON D’EVAILLE – Finished 7th over 3400m at Les Sables in a maiden on the 2nd of July 2024. Would be a shock winner
Summary: MER NOIR (3) is better than her last run and will appreciate stepping back up in trip. She was knocking on the door for that next win and can pick up from where she left off. LEANDER (4) wasn’t far off the action at his most recent start and should be in the firing line once again with the form that he represents. ZILCOVER (7) brings solid form to the table and will be involved at the finish with a bit of luck in running. MY DARLING (12) is a well tried maiden that does enough to warrant an inclusion for the minor positions.

17. LADY STRAIGHT – Far from disgraced in 6th spot over 2800m at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on the 6th of June 2024. Should be involved at the finish
Summary: STEP MORNING (6) arrives in terrific form and is aiming to make it three wins from his last five outings. He sets the standard and is the one they all have to set their sights on. LADY STRAIGHT (17) is seldom far off the action and slots in with a very light weight which makes her a player. BARBADIN (5) is better than his last and can bounce back to form so needs to be respected. BADEN ROCKS (3) is always about the action and should be involved for the minor positions.

Summary: DAZZLING JEWEL (7) has won her last two runs, the latter over 2000m at Strasbourg in a Class 3 on June 13th. She is getting better and can score again. CORNELIENNE (9) looks like the main danger, she was a good second last time in a Class 2 race at Dax on June 2nd and had solid form before that.

Summary: FAYONA (8) was a good second last time over 1950m in a Class 3 handicap on June 3rd. She looks to be a key player. Her biggest danger is PLOTINUS (11) who gets in at the foot of the handicap after a good fourth last time at Les Sables over 1950m on July 2nd.

5. JESS TAVEL – 5th last time at Segre behind L’IRLANDAISE (1) in a Class 4 cross-country on June 30th over 4000m. Needs vast improvement to turn that form around
Summary: L’IRLANDAISE (1) is given the marginal vote after a win last time over 4000m at Segre in a Class 4 cross-country race on June 30th. She is a solid performer in this discipline. Her main danger looks to be FATAL BEAUTY (2) who is seeking a hat-trick of wins. Her latest win was at Corlay in a Class 4 cross-country race on June 9th. She can not be ruled out. DON DU CIEL (3) looks the best of the others.

He is preferred to MARILLAWOOD (8) who was third last time in the same race and was only narrowly beaten by the selection that day.

11. FLEUR DE SEL – Has four unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1600m in a Class 3 handicap on July 5th. Looks out of form and best watched
12. DANDY COOL – Four unplaced runs of late, 4th before that over 1400m in a Class 4 race on May 9th. Looks safely held
13. LA FLACA – Has several unplaced runs this year, the latest over 1350m in a Class 4 handicap at Angers on June 20th. Hard to recommend
Summary: ANTHARIS (1) was a good fourth last time in a Class 2 handicap over 1600m on June 18th. He has leading claims. VIOU (7) was a nice third last time over 1400m at La Teste in a Class 3 handicap on June 28th and can make his presence felt. JUST IN TIME GAME (8) was a decent second two starts ago over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap. He is the each-way must. CITY OF HOPE (6) makes up the shortlist.

1. MISTER CHANG – 5th last time in a Class 2 race at Chantilly over 1200m on June 26th. Needs a few to falter
2. REVOLUTIONNAIRE – Nice 2nd last time in a Class 2 race at Lyon Parilly over 1350m on June 23rd. Live chance
3. OUT OF AFRICA – Won by 3L on her sole start at Craon over 1300m on June 10th. Looks useful and can be on the premises
4. DESERT ROSE – 4th last time at Chantilly in a Class 2 race on June 26th over 1200m. Merits consideration
5. BELVEDERE PALACE – 3rd at Lyon Parilly last time over 1350m in a maiden on June 24th. Hard to rule out of being involved
Summary: A small field but a competitive race for this Class 2 event. REVOLUTIONNAIRE (2) was a good second last time Lyon Parilly over 1350m on June 23rd in a Class 2 race and looks like the one to beat. OUT OF AFRICA (3) is a filly with plenty of promise. She won her maiden at Craon over 1300m on June 10th and will make life difficult for her rivals. BELVEDERE PALACE (5) is also one to take seriously having shown talent on all three runs so far.
