11. ROCKMOONLADY – Disappointing last run when 5th in Climer at Lyon-Parilly over 2400m on 8 June. Capable of better and has a place chance on handicap debut
Summary: MEISHO BONHEUR (5) is improving and could go one better on the good runner-up performances at Royan La Palmyre last month. REVALITE (4) has improved this year and will not go down too easily. LUMINESCE (2) is on the up and has knocked loudly in claimers of late so deserves some respect. JULIE ANAIS (8) showed improvement when winning last time out and is not out of it.

1. TELCHERBOLINE – Showed promise on debut when third in a Conditions race at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 1200m on 16 May. Can do a lot better stepped up in trip
2. JACQUEMINE – Not disgraced when fourth on debut in a Conditions race at Nantes over 1400m on 3 July. Should fight out the finish
3. LADY MADEIRA – Finished 7th on debut in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 1200m on 20 May. Capable of improvement and could earn some money
4. SANS REGRETS HEM – Did not show much on debut when tenth in a Conditions race at Le Lion-d’Angers over 1400m on 9 June. Can improve but others are preferred
5. REDSIA FAL – Finished 8th on debut in a Conditions race at Le Mans over 1100m on 16 May. Capable of improvement stepped up in distance
6. EMIV – Has not shown much so fat and was 9th last time out in a Conditions race at La Teste-de-Buch over 1400m on 3 July. Others are much preferred
7. PHANTASIALAND – Ran well on debut when third in a Conditions race at Strasbourg over 1400m on 13 June. Can contest the finish again
8. UMAMI – A two-year-old filly by Kodiac out of Cry Baby who is making her debut. Watch the betting

Summary: An interesting race where the newcomers could do best. CERES (11) is a well-bred filly from a powerful yard and could be ready to score on debut. UMINEKO (10) also catches the eye on breeding and could be the biggest threat. JACQUEMINE (2) showed promise on debut and should have more to offer and will prefer this slightly longer distance. TELCHERBOLINE (1) was not disgraced first time out and is another to consider.

Summary: LIBYAN PHAROAH (5) was a good second at Chantilly over 1400m on June 26th on his last start. He should be too smart for his rivals.

Summary: SPINNING MIST (3) has been in top form of late, she won on her latest start over 2250m in a Class 3 handicap on July 4th. She will be once again competitive. LIB APACHE (11) can pose the main threat having run a good race when fifth last time at Nantes on July 3rd over 1600m in a Class 4 race. AMARHALEN (13) looks like the one to side with from an each-way angle. KUPALA (8) is best of the remainder.
