2. HYGNUS PRIOR – Has scoured the province with great success at this level – won his latest outing at Bagnoles-de-l’Orne over 2850m on 14 July. Keep safe
3. FOX DU RIB – Consistent/competitive in the amateur category – achieved his best references (last 7 victories) – at that level. Disqualified at Château-du-Loir in his last start on 28 July
4. HARPAGOS RULES – A tricky customer but has the undeniable means to win a race of this nature – confirmed as much with a good 3rd over 3000m at Rochefort on 22 July. This will again be a question of wisdom with him
5. GOPTION MONTAVAL – Inconsistent veteran mare with references at this level under similar conditions/in this (barefoot) shoeing configuration. Didnt go unnoticed when 6th over 2800m in a stronger race at Compiegne on 27 July
6. FANFARO BELLO – Honest hard-knocker with sound references – seldom far off the mark at this level though has been hard to win with – just 3 victories from 119 starts. Was 5th over 2500m at Reims on 8 April – for lovers of outsiders
7. HELECHO – Rattled off a hat-trick of wins in this grade, the latest of those victories over this track and trip on 10 July. Acquitted himself well weh finishing a creditable 5th at a higher level over 2700m at Graignes on 25 July
8. EBENITO D’AURCY – Returned to form with an encouraging 3rd over 2475m at Francheville on 14 July. Could have a role to play if confirming that form/improvement
9. HATLAS DE MOUTIERS – Last-start winner of a minor contest over 1600m at Avenches on 23 July. This demands a lot more of him
10. HERMES D’ECROVILLE – Hard-knocking veteran with references at a higher level and seldom far off the mark – didn’t go unnoticed when 6th over 2700m at La Capelle on 26 July. Dark horse
11. GOSSIP BOY – Out of sorts but did finish 2nd in a similar race over track and trip in May. Unplaced in 4 and disqualified in 2 of his last 6 starts – the latest (8th) over 2700m at La Capelle
12. FAUST LUDOIS – Well-performed veteran, confirmed under these conditions but went off the boil some time ago – unlikely to trouble the judge on current form. Was a modest 9th in a similar contest over track and trip on 27 June
Summary: HELECHO (7) has nothing to prove in this category and is good value to resume winning ways on his return to this grade after an encouraging 5th at a higher level (in a stronger race) against better opposition last time. HARPAGOS RULES (4) gets a 25m headstart from that rival and need only avoid disqualification to make life difficult for the selection. FANNY CAT (1) also has the means to make her presence felt, especially with her front shoes removed from an ideal starting position. HYGNUS PRIOR (2) and EBENITO D’AURCY (8) are consistent performers whose competitiveness at this level is beyond doubt, so they aren’t taken lightly either.

1. EMIR SPEEDHYCAT – Disqualified in his last 5 appearances, the latest at Cabourg on 30 July. Hard to make a case for – outsider
2. GIAC JOLI – Finished 4th over 2800m at Vichy in his last appearance at this level on 4 July. Can get into the picture
3. GUELIZ – Out of sorts and finished unplaced again (8th) in a 2150m claimer on this course on 17 July. Longshot
4. EASY MARCEAUX – Out of sorts and, despite sparking improvement to finish 5th at Waregem over 2400m on 24 July, is not likely to trouble the judge here
5. GANGSTER D’URFIST – Inconsistent veteran but has sound references at this level – including a win over this course and distance on 27 June in this (barefoot) configuration. Didnt go unnoticed when 5th over 2700m at Vichy on 21 July
6. GORLANDO LUDOIS – Hard-knocking veteran with references at a higher level (seldom far off the mark). Didn’t go unnoticed in a better/stronger race over 2775m at Les Sables on 26 July when finishing – dark horse
7. FIGARO GEMA – Course-and-distance winner on 27 June. Has blown hot and cold in 3 subsequent starts – the latest (11th) over 2150m at this venue on 27 July – but has sufficient means to play a leading role
8. FLORALYSE D’AUTHOU – Disqualified in back-to-back recent outings (both appearances last month), the latest over 2150m at this venue on 27 July. Shouldnt be hastily condemned dropped significantly in class
9. FERIA DE LIGNY – Unreliable veteran mare but has sound references (including a victory) at this level. Wasnt disgraced when 8th in a stronger race/against better opposition over 2700m at Graignes on 1 August – on the shortlist
10. FAKIR DE GESVRES – Sparked improvement to finish 4th in a 2150m claimer on this course on 17 July. Confirmation required
11. DOMINO DE LA BRISE – Unplaced in all 13 appearances this year, the latest (8th) over 2800m at Compiegne on 27 July. Overlook
12. FAUBOURG DU PERCHE – Tricky customer but proved his undeniable means when a reassuring 5th (barefoot) over track and trip in a significantly stronger race/field on 13 July. Candidate for success
13. EIGHT – Has rediscovered his form/momentum recently following a 5-month absence, finishing 3rd (at Arras) and 2nd in his latest outing over 2575m at Agen – both in stronger races/against better opposition. Contender
Summary: EIGHT (13) and FAUBOURG DU PERCHE (12) are favourably engaged at the threshold of earnings and both should find this drop in class to their liking after encouraging recent performances. They should fight for victory. FERIA DE LIGNY (9) was victorious in her only start at this level, so could pose a threat. GANGSTER D’URFIST (5) and FIGARO GEMA (7) complete the shortlist.

1. LAIKA DES MARES – Long-time maiden unlikely to open her account, or trouble the judge for that matter after finishing 6th in 3 consecutive recent outings – the latest over 2850m at Bréhal on 29 July
2. LUGACHA – Delicate but has undeniable means/ability – acquits herself well/competitively when she is not disqualified. Confirmed as much with a good 3rd at Vichy over 2950m on 12 June
3. LADY BEAUTIFUL – Unreliable although versatile filly (has won in both codes) disqualified in both/consecutive starts over course and distance last month – the latest on 28 July. Others preferred
4. LOLITA DE LA BUTTE – Consistent filly with sound references/form credentials, albeit without success (a 15-start maiden). Didn’t go unnoticed when 5th over 2150m at Enghien on 20 July – place chance
5. LYRA DU METZ – Won her Enghien debut (April) over track and trip before finishing 2nd on Vincennes debut in May. Would’ve benefitted from her 2150m comeback run (8th) at this venue on 20 July
6. LOUISIANE KAT – Improving last-start winner over 2850m at Vincennes on 18 June in this shoe-fitting. Ought to remain competitive
7. LOLITA BOURBON – Promising, progressive filly with consistent/competitive references at this level and under these conditions, including a last-start 3rd over track and trip in a similar race. Main threat
8. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL – Revealed considerable ability in the provinces and confirmed that promise with a last-start success over this course and distance on 17 July. Exciting prospect – follow her progress
Summary: Exciting LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (8), by winning her last 2 completed races (3 starts), has revealed her undeniable quality. She made amends after the disqualification of her penultimate outing by bouncing back to winning ways last time and seems likely to continue her momentum. LOLITA BOURBON (7) fits a similar profile and is best equipped to fight for victory. LOUSIANE KAT (6), who has regained freshness since her last-start success, and LYRA DU METZ (5), after a much-needed comeback outing 2 weeks ago, appeal most of the remainder.

1. KANDIE D’ARDENNES – Lightly raced filly and seldom finishes far off the mark – didn’t go unnoticed when 5th in this shoe-fitting at Le Croise-Laroche over 2700m in her penultimate start. Disqualified at La Capelle on 22 July
2. KUBITSA – Disqualified in back-to-back comeback outings (unshod) recently – the latest over 2150m at this venue on 15 June – following a 3-month break and races with his irons (shod) here. Others preferred
3. KALISTA DE HOUELLE – Made an encouraging seasonal reappearance at Cabourg, finishing 5th over 2725m on 5 July on her return from a 7-month absence. Improvement expected
4. KRONA VIKING – Promising, lightly raced trotter who has revealed considerable means/ability. Blotted her copybook when disqualified for the first time 8 starts (2 wins, 3 places) at Clairefontaine on 20 July. Can’t be written off yet
5. KAPELLA VET – Has regained her momentum after 3 comeback outings – improved with each start. Showed her form and well-being by finishing 3rd over 2050m at Cabourg on 12 July
6. KALINE DU BOULAY – Lightly raced filly with scope to improve, though will need to do so to trouble the judge after two modest comeback outings over 2750m at Cabourg recently – unplaced (8th) on 16 July and disqualified on 23 July
7. KINDY DU VIVIER – Ultra-consistent performer with sound references/form credentials – never disqualified (10 starts) and has a victory and a 2nd in 2 starts without her irons (unshod). Finished 6th over 2750m Cabourg on 16 July but raced shod on that occasion – barefoot now
8. KRACOTTE VERGNIER – Opened her account at Saint-Malo on 12 July and improved again to win over 2850m at Mauquenchy over 2850m on 25 July. Up in class but warrants serious respect
9. KIA DE GUELLE – Bounced back to winning ways last time (2750m at Cabourg on 23 July) in her first start with this shoeing configuration. Ought to remain competitive for the leading places
10. KERIDA BEST – Inconsistent although rarely far off the mark when applied/on a going day and is confirmed in this unshod configuration. Finished 4th at Cabourg last month before her last-start disqualification there on 23 July
11. KOH SAMUI BOND – Capable filly but is very delicate – disqualified in her last 3 appearances, the latest at Meslay-du-Maine on 30 May. Has the undeniable means to make her presence felt if avoiding disqualification
12. KOVALLIE MONTAVAL – Lightly raced, consistent filly with sound references at a lower level – including an improved/encouraging 3rd over 2450m at Villeréal on 27 July. This demands a lot more
13. KAPELLA DRY – Won her first start in this shoeing configuration at Laval in June but fluffed her lines when disqualified last time over track and trip on 6 July. Favourably engaged under these conditions so may well redeem herself
14. KAHINA DE LATZ – Last-start winner over 2050m at Feurs on 5 July in her first start with this shoeing configuration. Shouldn’t be underestimated
15. KATSOUKA – Returned to form with a reassuring 3rd, albeit in a weaker race, over 2700m at Vittel on 14 July. More will be needed in this grade/company
16. KAMOVA DU RILER – Inconsistent filly but is seldom far off the mark on a going day, though has achieved her best references in the claiming category. Didn’t go unnoticed when 6th in a similar contest over track and trip on 6 July
Summary: Most effective when racing without her shoes (unshod) and, with Éric Raffin engaged for this commitment, KINDY DU VIVIER (7) makes for an attractive betting proposition in this contest for which she has been carefully prepared. Last-start winner KIA DE GUELLE (9) is likely to give the selection most to fear, although KAPELLA DRY (13) could also pose a threat if avoiding disqualification. KAPELLA VET (5) has upset potential and could pop-up at a nice price.

1. ESPOIR DU JOUR – Most effective under the saddle and in this (unshod) configuration but is best watched for now after his modest 12th in a harness race over 2700m at Cagnes on 29 July
2. HAZILYS – Consistent, versatile mare rarely seen in the mounted category but has sound references under the saddle including her victory in her last appearance (July 2022) in this category. Not taken lightly
3. FASCINANT – Returned to form with a reassuring 4th over course and distance on his return to the mounted category on 17 July. Can get into the picture
4. HOTKATISSIME – Last-start winner over 2750m at Cabourg on 9 July. Can be followed with confidence on his return to Paris
5. HURIEL LUDOIS – Versatile veteran who showed his form and well-being with a good 3rd in a harness race over 2727m at Pornichet on 25 July. Candidate for success back under the saddle
6. HELLO JADE RUSH – Consistent, versatile mare with sound references/form credentials in both codes – including a good 2nd at Brehal over 2850m on 29 July. Keep safe
7. FAUST DE BEYLEV – Has lost his way/form this year and was soundly beaten (8th) over 2750m at Cabourg last time (12 July) so is best watched for now
Summary: Preference in this event is for the seven-year-olds over their elders. HOTKATISSIME (4) returned to winning ways at Cabourg recently and gets the nod ahead of HURIEL LUDOIS (5), who shouldn’t be underestimated on his return to the mounted code. HAZILYS (2) has already proven his efficiency/competitiveness under the saddle and could trouble the principals. Consistent HELLO JADE RUSH (6) can also have some solid claims for the podium.

1. IZZIE D’ERONVILLE – A tricky customer but didnt go unnoticed when 5th over 2150m on this course last time (27 July). More needed
2. IL PLEUT BERGERE – Honest hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials – seldom far off the mark at this level though hard to win with (4 victories from 39 starts). Didnt go unnoticed when 6th over 2875m at Meslay (21 July)
3. IVORY WIND – Resumed winning ways in this shoe-fitting (plated) over 3175m at Saint-Omer on 21 July. Should continue her momentum
4. INFERNA DE HOUELLE – A tricky customer but has the undeniable means to win a race of this nature. This will again be a question of wisdom with her after a recent disqualification at Vittel on 21 July
5. IDOLE DE MEAT – Rarely races fully unshod (barefoot) so cannot be underestimated, despite her last-start disqualification in this configuration on 14 July. Keep safe
6. I FEEL PRETTY – Consistent/competitive at this level and boasts sound references under these conditions. Shouldn’t be hastily condemned for her latest/recent failure (sanction) over 2150m at this venue on 27 July
7. INES QUICK – Consistent for the most part and usually acquits herself well when avoiding disqualification. Shouldn’t be hastily condemned for her latest/recent failure (sanction) over track and trip on 10 July
8. IDAHI DE HOUELLE – Has rediscovered her form and consistency recently, finishing 3rd in consecutive outings – the latest over 2700m at Vittel on 21 July. Not taken lightly
9. IDOLE ELDE – Has won back-to-back recent outings (both last month) under similar conditions, the latest over 2950m at Le Mans on 16 July. Returns to Paris with legitimate ambitions
10. IRMYLA DE SOMMAIRE – Returned to form with an encouraging 2nd over 2900m at Clairefontaine on 21 July. Could have a role to play if confirming that form/improvement
Summary: IVORY WIND (3) has won her last 3 completed races, including her latest outing and needs only to repeat that performance to continue her winning momentum. She will, however, have to thwart the likely challenge of IDOLE ELDE (9) who is currently at the top of her game after back-to-back recent successes. INES QUICK (7) fluffed her lines last time but, judged on the strength and consistency of her earlier form, shouldn’t be underestimated/hastily condemned. IDOLE DE MEAT (5), racing without her shoes (barefoot), and IDAHI DE HOUELLE (8) are also capable of finishing on the podium.

1. JAVA DE CASTELLE – Very unreliable and was disqualified last time out at Cabourg on 12 July. Capable of getting involved with the finish when in the mood
2. JADE DU BILLARD – Has lost her way of late and was disqualified last time out at Pornichet-La Baule on 18 July. Others are preferred
3. JUSTESS VIKING – In good form and was fourth last time out in Class E at Vittel over 2700m on 21 July. Could play a minor role
4. DONNER AMOUR – On a long losing run and was disqualified last time out at this course on 27 July. Capable of scoring over this distance
5. JAMINISTAR – Battling to regain best form and was 5th last time out in Class E at this course over 2875m on 27 July. Needs to do more to win
6. JOY DU CARNOIS – Has struck a purple patch of form with three wins in a row, with the latest win being in Class F at Feurs over 2850m on 19 July. Can win again
7. JAZZ MELODY – Unreliable but did run well when barefoot and third last time out in Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne over 2650m on 13 July. Can contest the finish again
8. JADESKA – Unreliable and was disqualified last time out at Meslay-du-Maine on 30 July. Capable of earning some money when smart
9. JAKARTA – Has struggled all year and was 9th last time out in Class E at Guerlesquin over 2900m on 29 July. Needs major improvement to win
10. DRUJBA – In good form this year and was runner-up last time out at Turin over 2060m on 21 July. Has a place chance
Summary: GIVE LOVE (4) is much better than her recent form suggests and, with Éric Raffin in the sulky, she seems capable of resuming winning ways. However, JOY DU CARNOIS (6) has won three consecutive outings recently and, despite stepping up in class, is likely to fight for victory. JAZZ MELODY (7) will be competitive if in the mood, which can also be said of JAVA DE CASTELLE (1).

4. DYNAMIC FLIGHT LF – Hard to trust and was 8th last time out in Class D at Vincennes over 2100m on 14 June. Capable of an upset when wise
5. JIVAGO TURGOT – Has major disqualification issues and was disqualified last time out at Biarritz on 25 July. Best watched for now

9. DEPP DELL’OLMO – Unreliable and was 9th last time out at Modene over 2080m on 12 July. Tough task in this line-up
10. PRIVATE BANKER SB – On a long losing run and was 7th last time out in Class E at this course over 2875m on 14 July. Needs to find a few lengths to win
11. PLAYBOY DE REVE – Outstanding form in low-stakes races in Belgium and was a winner again at Mons over 2300m on 16 July. Can be a danger
Summary: DERBY KRONOS (1) won impressively at this track recently. The shorter distance is unlikely to be a problem and he can follow up. Fourth that day, DISTILLATO (3) posted a good last finish effort and should be respected. A good solid performer in Belgium, PLAYBOY DE REVE (11) is an interesting candidate in this line-up. PRESTO D’AN (6) has plenty of early speed and should be able to play a role at the business end.

Summary: HEDIC GEMA (13) pushed himself to win the round held at Sable in June and will have his supporters.HOBAMA (5) will be a main rival who has been specifically prepared for this event and can go close here. GALA DE CRENNES (12) is consistent and can be involved in the finish. ISIS D’HERFRAIE (2) is barefoot and could be a contender. GARANCIO BELLO (8) if wise also deserves a mention

KAID DE LAPRELLE (5) did not run too badly when fifth on debut and could do a lot better this time around. KAP KELSY (14) makes her debut in a weak race and would not be a surprise winner.
