R1 Longchamp [R-H]

C1 – PRIX LORD SEYMOUR – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Listed Race – Flat – EUR € 52,000

  1. MONT DE SOLEIL – Great effort in a Group III contest finishing 6th over 2000m at Baden Baden on the 24th of August 2024. Strong winning chance if fit. Has been supplemented for the race and is from a red-hot yard
  2. TRABUCO – Finished 8th in a Class 2 Conditional over 2400m at Compiegne on the 28th of March 2025. Deserves an eachway shout
  3. DIAMOND VENDOME – Finished 11th in a Class 3 Conditional over 2000m at Fontainebleau on the 18th of March 2025. One to ignore in this field
  4. JORDANELLA – Finished 8th in a Listed over 2400m at Saint-Cloud on the 20th of March 2025. Placed in a Group 3 last year. Include in all plays
  5. FULL OF HOPE – Decent effort finishing 3rd in a Class 3 Conditional over 2000m at Fontainebleau on the 18th of March 2025. Will be tough to pose a threat against the top selectors but worth the backend quartet play
    Summary: Supplemented MONT DE SOLEIL (1) takes his place in this Listed event coming off two creditable efforts in Group III contests last year. His form poses for him to be the horse to beat if the eight month break does not affect him. TRABUCO (2) is as honest as they come and won’t be no surprise if he strikes a winning threat. JORDANELLA (4) can be forgiven for her last start returning from a small rest but her penultimate run when finishing third in a Group III makes her a livewire. FULL OF HOPE (5) has the ability to be competitive.

    Summary: FIRST LOOK (5) enters this Listed race with solid Group form and without a doubt, he will be urging to romp into the winners box. CAMBRONNE (1) is in pleasing form and will be putting his best foot forward to fight out the finish. CLIMATE CHANGE (2) has won two of his last three starts and although taking on tougher in his last start when finishing sixth in a Listed, he must be given consideration. WAKABURN (3) holds a place chance in this contest.

  13. RAGNAR CITY – Finished 6th in a Class 2 Handicap over 2400m at Saint-Cloud on the 16th of March 2025. Does hold surprising Group form, won’t be shocked if he sneaks into the backend of quartets

  23. XILOFONO – Finished 3rd in a Class 3 Conditional over 2000m at Mont-De-Marsan on the 23rd of March 2025. Others pose a more boastful interest
  24. DSCHINGIS RANGER – Finished 8th in a Class 2 Handicap over 2400m at Saint-Cloud on the 16th of March 2025. Erratic on current form
  25. FREEZE – Finished 9th in a Class 2 Handicap over 2400m at Saint-Cloud on the 16th of March 2025. Currently frozen on form and won’t pose a threat to the top selectors
  26. NOVA SCOTIA – Finished 2nd in a Class 3 Claimer over 2400m at Compiegne on the 28th of March 2025. Others weigh more attraction
    Summary: AQUA AUGUSTA (1) is a winner over the trip in her penultimate start and for a two time winner off seven starts, she will be trying her best to add to her winning tally in this competitive Handicap. FOXTROT ZULU (8) comes off two victories in her last two starts and does step up to face Class two company but has the ability to seal off a hat-trick win. TILILA (6) bounced to winning ways in a similar field and if she remains wise here, she will be competitive again. BIBBIENA (12) is a true definition of a honest performer and will be right in the mix again. ZULU WARRIOR (2) must be respected for his last two starts finishing second.

  31. HEYBETLI – Finished 6th in a Group I contest over 1400m at Parislongchamp on the 6th of October 2024. Based off the last two Group efforts, won’t be a surprise if he creeps into the backend of quartets

  33. DARIUS CEN – A winner in his last start in a Listed over 1600m at Saint-Cloud on the 16th of March 2025. Will have a good eachway chance
    Summary: MISUNDERSTOOD (4) ran an eye-catching race in the Group I Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère last October, finishing third despite running keen. His penultimate start reflects him winning a Group III contest over the course and distance. He should win here if he is to turn into a Classic prospect. SAHLAN (3) was a winner on debut and this well bred youngster shows he has ability to produce similar efforts. DARIUS CEN (7) comes off winning his last two starts and will be trying his best to seal a hat-trick success. MADERO (6) boasts to be pleasing over the mile and definitely holds a place chance.

  34. ZARIGANA – Has only suffered defeat once in three starts and that was in a Group 1 over this course and distance on 6 October. Sets a high standard and can return to her winning ways
  35. SHES PERFECT – Showed promise last year and was third last time out in a sales race at Goodwood over 1400m on 25 Septmber. Returns from a break but is not out of it
  36. GODSPEED – Fit and was not disgraced when third last time out in a Conditions race at Chantilly over this distance on 17 March. Tries the grass and tackls tougher this time
  37. SAFIA – Returned from a break ro remain unbeaten in two starts, with a Conditions race win at Saint-Cloud over this distance on 25 March. Clearly talented and should fight it out
  38. ROSA SALVAJE – Very consistent so far and was third last time out in a Group 3 over this track and trip on 12 September. Can contest the finish again returning from a break
  39. TIGRESS OF GAUL – Unbeaten on the PSF at Chantilly, with the latest being over this distance on 27 February. Tries the grass but could be anything and deserves some respect
  40. LADY MAJESTY CEN – Improving and was runner-up last time out in a Listed race at Toulouse over this distance on 11 November. Can make the frame
    Summary: ZARIGANA (1) is a class act and has only suffered defeat at Group 1 level—a race she might well have won with better luck in running. She returns from a break but should prove too strong for these rivals. SAFIA (4) is unbeaten in two starts and could be anything. She may also have the fitness edge. SHES PERFECT (2) has travelled over from the UK, suggesting her connections are confident of a good performance. ROSA SALVAJE (5) is consistent and should be in the mix for a place.

  45. NITOI – Looked good when scoring on debut in a Conditions race at Chantilly over 1800m on 16 September. Returns from a break but has a winning chance

  47. TITO MO CEN – Unbeaten in two starts this year, with the latest being a Listed race at Chantilly over 1800m on 9 March. Has impressed this year and the one to beat trying the grass this time
    Summary: An interesting Group 3. TITO MO CEN (7) is unbeaten, with both wins coming this year on the PSF. He now tries the turf and looks the one they all have to get past. NITOI (5) impressed in his debut win last year and will be a serious challenger if reproducing that performance. There was not much between UTHER (6) and AIDAN’S PHONE (2) last time out, and UTHER (6) might win that argument this time.

  51. ALEKSINE – Not disgraced when 5th last time out in a handicap at Chantilly over 1400m on 17 March. Capable of making the frame
  52. EL PEQUENIO – Kept to the PSF of late and was unplaced last time out in a handicap at Chantilly over 1400m on 17 March. Probably better on the grass and could be the surprise package of the race
  53. IFFROCTA FAL – Still improving and was runner-up last time out in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over this distance on 25 March. Be right there at this finish
  54. DUTY – Did not show on his debut when 8th on handicap debut at Saint-Cloud over this distance on 25 March. Capable of better and has a place chance
  55. LADY DIORA – Needed her only run of the year and was 7th in a Conditions race at Chantilly over 1900m on 24 March. Capable of an upset back on the grass
  56. SOMMERBLAU – A winner on debut last year but has not been as good this year and was 6th last time out in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over this distance. Might play a minor role on handicap debut
  57. HEMATITE – Kept to the PSF for her three starts and was third last time out in a Conditions race at Pornichet-La Baule over 1700m on 26 March. Might play a minor role on handicap debut
  58. TOOGOODTOBEROOD – Has only been tried on the PSF so far and was not disgraced when fourth in a handicap at Chantilly over 1400m on 17 March. Might play a minor role
  59. MON COMEDIEN – Unreliable so far and was 6th last time out in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on 25 March. Needs to do a bit more to win
  60. ORANGERIE – Has not shown much in four starts and was 9th in a Conditions race at Compiegne over 1600m on 28 March. Needs to find a few lengtsh to win
  61. MY QUEEN – Kept to the PSF so far and was fourth last time out in a Conditions race at Chantilly over this distance on 4 March. Tries the grass on handicap debut and can contest the finish
  62. PERGOLOR – Yet to win a race and was fourth last time out in a Conditions race at Fontainebleau over this distance on 18 March. More is needed to beat these rivals
    Summary: Some competitive handicaps to end a good meeting. NAKED MEMORIES (2) ran a decent race in a Quinte and is clearly capable of winning a handicap off his mark. He is fit and the one to beat. IFFROCTA FAL (6) is improving and only found one better in his first crack at a handicap, so will be a threat. MAHASEN (1) has scope for decent improvement and deserves respect in her first handicap. MY QUEEN (14) tries the grass and also has claims.

  63. THIRSTY – Unreliable but was third last time out in a handicap at Deauville over 2500m on 17 January. Has done better on the grass and is cspable of winning
  64. LISMORE – Probably needed the only run of the year when 5th in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 2800m on 11 March. Better over further but could surprise
  65. TURANIA – Not disgraced when 5th last time out in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over this distance on 16 March. Capable of earning some money
  66. IRTYCH – Did not show his best when 15th in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2000m on 29 March. In good shape before that and is not out of it
  67. DAY OFF – Returned from a break and was 9th last time out in a handicap at Chantilly over 2700m on 27 February. Needs to find a few lengths to win

  70. ARTURO – In good from and was runner-up last time out in a handicap at Lyon-La Soie over 2400m on 30 March. Could be better on that surface though
  71. MOZART DES BRIERES – Disappointing last run when 9th in a handicap at Marseille Borely over 2600m on 19 March. Distance suited but others are preferred
  72. AUTEUR – Disappointing handicap debut when 13th at Fontainebleau over 3000m on 1 April. In good form before that and is not out of it
  73. SAUVIAC – Did not show his best when 9th in a handicap at Senonnes-Pouancé over 2900m on 15 March. Better over further and others are preferred

    Summary: A tough lucky last race to find a winner. ONE POINT (6) did not run too badly in a Quinte last time out and should do a lot better in this division, so gets a narrow vote to score. AUTEUR (10) struggled on handicap debut but is clearly capable of better and would not be a surprise winner. ARTURO (8) remains in good shape and should be right there at the finish. HOW DARE YOU (13) is consistent and has a winning chance.

C1 – PRIX FLORENCE CHARRIER – 4500m (a3m) – TURF – Class 4 Race – Steeple Chase – EUR € 23,000

  1. JOLILAND – Placed on his last three runs, the latter over 4200m at Landivisiau on September 15th in a Class 4 chase. Should be fit after a break
  2. JALZAN – Unplaced last time out, 2nd before that over 3800m at Angers in a Class 3 handicap chase. Outside place contender
  3. KOUDOU – 5th on is last start over 3800m at Nancy on March 16th in a Class 3 chase. Can be competitive
  4. KIRIKOO – Won on his latest start over 4100m at Saumur on March 30th in a Class 4 chase. Player
  5. GRANGOUSIE CHALUZY – 2nd on his last start over 4500m in a cross-country race at Paray-Le-Monial on November 10th. Might find this difficult
  6. JERICHO D’ALENE – 5th last time, 4th before that over 4250m at Argentan in a Class 4 chase on March 1st. Others preferred
  7. KNICKERS – Decent 2nd on his last start over 3600m at Fontainebleau in a Class 4 chase on March 11th. Can go one place better
  8. INTRIGANTE – 3rd on her latest start over 4200m at Moulins in a Class 4 chase on March 9th. Has work to do
    Summary: KNICKERS (7) was a pleasing second at Fontainebleau last time out in early March and can go one place better this time. JOLILAND (1) has been placed on his previous three starts, and he should be ready for his return run after an absence since September last year. KIRIKOO (4) will be in a good frame of mind after scoring at Saumur late last month and can be a threat. KOUDOU (3) heads the remainder.

  10. JALOUSIE D’AINAY – Unplaced last time out, 4th before that over 4100m at Pau in a Class 2 cross-country on December 25th. Live contender
  11. REAL DES ROCS – Two unplaced runs since a 3rd over 4600m in a Class 3 cross-country on October 5th at Cluny. In the mix
  12. SPEED DES LANDES – Won on his latest start over 4800m in a Class 4 cross-country at Blain on March 23rd. One to pay attention too
  13. JAZZ COLLONGES – Two unplaced efforts since a 3rd over 4200m at Agen in a Class 4 cross-country race. Needs to be more reliable
  14. IMAGINAIRE – 5th on the latest start, 3rd before that over 4100m at Compiegne in a handicap chase on November 2nd. Player
  15. JOKER DU ROY – Unplaced last time out, 4th before that over 4500m at this track in a Class 3 chase on March 1st. Cross-country debut and is best watched
    Summary: JALOUSIE D’AINAY (2) was a good fourth, two runs back in a Class 2 cross-country at Pau in late December, and is more than capable of taking a race of this nature. SPEED DES LANDES (4) won on his latest start at Blain in a Class 4 cross-country and can make life difficult for the selection. IMAGINAIRE (6) ran over regulation fences last time out and has had a couple of tries in this code before. She can be on the premises. REAL DES ROCS (3) looks best of the others.

  16. SUPER TIE BREAK – Recent win over 1600m at La Teste on April 2nd in a Class 4 handicap. In form and can feature
  17. NANTIKA – Lightly raced, she was 6th on her latest start over 2100m on the PSF on December 8th in a handicap. A winner on turf at Niort last October. Key chance
  18. ITAO DE BOUSSAY – Several unplaced runs of late, the most recent over 1600m at Cavaillon in a Class 4 race on March 23rd. Opposable
  19. PICCINELLI – Three unplaced efforts of late, 4th before that over 1600m in a claimer at Nantes on May 6th. Makes little appeal
  20. GRAND MACHO – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a handicap on June 17th. One to keep safe
  21. FORCEIGHT – 5th on her latest start in a Class 4 handicap at Lyon La Soie over 1800m on March 30th. Place chance
  22. L’HORLOGE – Four unplaced runs since a 4th over 2400m at Vichy on July 24th in a claimer. Unlikely to be a threat
  23. PANAY – Five unplaced runs last year, the latter over 2000m in a claimer at Vichy on August 23rd. Hard to recommend
    Summary: NANTIKA (2) won last October on the turf at Niort and had a couple of runs after on the PSF, with a third-placed effort on her penultimate start. She is lightly raced and has more progress to come. SUPER TIE BREAK (1) won at La Teste 11 days ago in a Class 4 handicap and looks like the main danger. GRAND MACHO (5) was a decent third at Saint-Cloud last June, and if emulating that run, he can not be ruled out. FORCEIGHT (6) is also one to consider.

  24. MYLORD DE LA SERRE – Unraced gelding by Bamiyan, the dam never raced. Can be expected to improve for this run. Watch the betting patterns for clues
  25. MAC FIRST – Gelded son of Karaktar, the dam ran once. Might need this debut run and is one to watch in the betting for clues
  26. MARIOLE – Unraced gelding by Beaumec De Houelle, the dam won 2 races over jumps. Looks good on paper, and his trainer is a shrewd operator. Live chance with a market check advised
  27. MARIGNY – Newcomer by Karaktar, the dam was unraced. Her trainer has three in the race and this filly is one to watch in the betting for clues
  28. MULTIP – Filly by Cokoriko, the dam never raced. Likely to improve for this debut run. The betting can be the best guide
  29. MISAM – Filly by Prince Gibraltar, the dam was placed on the flat. Her trainer has three in the race, and this filly could be not the first choice, judging by jockey bookings
  30. MAZARINE – Unraced filly by Zarak, the dam won over fences. From a leading stable who will have this newcomer well tuned. The betting can guide
  31. MUSIQUE ALLEN – Unraced filly by Saint Des Saints, the dam won 6 races, including a Listed chase. Stable runners know what is required, and any market support should be noted
  32. ME VOILA LA MOME – Unraced filly by Voiladenuo, the dam was unraced. Stable runners usually improve for a run or two. Monitor the betting patterns
    Summary: In a field of newcomers, it may pay to side with MAZARINE (7) who looks the part on her pedigree. She will be well prepared by her astute trainer. MARIOLE (3) is out of a mare who won two races, and this gelding is worth watching in the betting exchanges. MUSIQUE ALLEN (8) has a taking profile; her dam won six races and was placed in a Listed chase. She can be involved as can MARIGNY (4), who could be the first choice of her trainers trio in the lineup.

  34. SAWAF – 5th on his last two starts, the latter over 2000m at Strasbourg on March 22nd in a maiden race. One to keep safe
  35. ANGAD – Showed ability on his debut before getting tired over 1800m at Le Croise-Laroche in a maiden on March 21st. Place contender
  36. SAKURASAKU – Decent 5th two runs back over 1600m at Chantilly in a maiden race on February 13th. Player
  37. MAYDY DE ROMAY – Three unplaced runs so far, the latter over 2000m at Durtal in a claimer on November 1st. Hard to recommend
  38. MIEUX QUE PAPA – Four unplaced runs since a 4th over 1600m at Vichy on September 24th in a maiden race. Hard to fancy
  39. GERARD TER BORCH – Unraced gelding by Ectot, the dam won 2 races an was Listed placed. Choice profile and a bold show can be expected on debut
  40. ANTANDRA SWEETY – Unraced filly by Moises Has, the dam won 3 races including the Criterium De Saint-Cloud (Gr.1) and a Group 1 race in Germany. Looks good on paper and the betting can be the most informative guide
  41. BALTFOOT FAL – Unraced by Footstepsinthesand, the dam never ran. Stable runners usually improve for a run or two. Keep an eye on the betting exchanges for clues
  42. MAHAL PICH – Unraced by Taj Mahal, the dam won 12 races, likely to improve for this debut run, and the betting can guide
  43. BIRCHPACOLAURGREEN – Unraced filly by Birchwood, the dam never ran. Stable runners warrant respect on debut. Watch the betting patterns
  44. ARDENZA – Unraced filly by Le Brivido, the dam won 1 race and was placed. Likely to improve for this opening run, unless the market says otherwise
    Summary: SAKURASAKU (4) was below his best last time but posted a promising fifth at CHANTILLY in mid-February and is the first choice in what looks like an open maiden. GERARD TER BORCH (7) makes plenty of appeal on paper and is expected to play a leading role on debut. SAWAF (2) has finished fifth on his last two starts, and with race experience on his side, he can make the frame. TEPITO (1) has shown ability and is one to consider each-way.

  45. ALMACADO GREE – Recent win over 2800m at Saint-Cloud on March 11th in a Class 3 race. Capable of being competitive
  46. ANDOUINS – He has won his last two starts, the latter over 3100m at Pornichet in a Class 4 race on March 26th, and a win before that at this track on March 1st. Key chance
  47. WAIT THE STORM – Fair 3rd over 3100m at Pornichet on March 26th on her latest start in a Class 4 race. Each way angle
  48. I’M ON MY WAY – Creditable 4th last time, he won before that over 3000m at Nancy on March 16th in a Class 4 handicap. Ought to have a say
  49. ADORABLE – Four unplaced runs of late, 4th before that over 2700m at Parislongchamp on May 23rd in a handicap. Warrants respect

  53. CHONBURI – 6th last time out, 2nd before that over 3100m at Pornichet on January 28th in a Class 4 handicap. One to consider
  54. HIGH WAY – Several unplaced efforts of late, the latter over 2200m at Lyon Parilly in a maiden race on October 18th. Others look better equipped
  55. GALWAY CITY –
    Summary: ALMACADO GREE (1) is an honest performer and won at Saint-Cloud on his latest start in a Class 3 race in early March. He is given marginal choice over hat-trick seeking ANDOUINS (2), who won over course and distance in early March and followed that up with a win on the PSF later that month. WAIT THE STORM (3) was third behind the latter on the PSF last time and can be involved at the finish. I’M ON MY WAY (4) is another for the shortlist.

  56. KNIGHT DES MOTTES – Fair 5th last time out; he won before that over 3100m at Corlay on June 9th in a conditions race. Player
  57. LORD MALTHAIX – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 3000m at Limoges in a conditions race on November 30th. Others make more appeal
  58. LEADER D’ALLIER – Nice win by 2.5L on his second start over 2500m at Nancy in a conditions race on March 16th. Looks a progressive type
  59. KAMELIA DE CORTON – 7th on her latest start over 2600m at Morlaix in a conditions race on March 30th. Among the leading each way chances
  60. KAPRISS COLLONGES – Three unplaced runs since a 4th over 2450m at Cluny on October 5th in a conditions race. Looks vulnerable
  61. KAFKAIENNE – Two unplaced runs over hurdles of late, 5th before that on the flat over 2400m at this track in a conditions race on November 30th. One to keep safe
  62. LALFA D’AIRY – Unraced by It’s Gino, the dam ran once over hurdles. Likely to improve for this debut run. Watch the betting patterns
    Summary: LEADER D’ALLIER (3) can keep on improving and looks like the one to be with in this conditions race. He won by over two lengths last time out at Nancy in March. KNIGHT DES MOTTES (1) can keep the selection honest and won two runs back over 3100m at Corlay last June and will be sharper for a recent outing last month. KAFKAIENNE (6) is versatile and has had a couple of runs over hurdles recently. She warrants respect, as does KAMELIA DE CORTON (4), who should not be ruled out.

C1 – PRIX VOITURES ANCIENNES DE BEAUCE – 2825m (a2m) – Class G Amateur Drivers Race – Harness – EUR € 6,000

  1. JALNA DES ECUS – Last of 14 behind JAPPELOUP CARNOIS (2) in a 2825m Cordemais Class E 2 weeks ago. Is still in conditioning mode but in this company will have her supporters
  2. JAPPELOUP CARNOIS – 4th of 14 in a 2825m Cordemais Class E 2 weeks ago. Enjoys a good entry in front and looks a serious proposition
  3. IRIS RENARDIER – Back under harness after coming 5th of 8 in a 2550m amateurs monte Class H at Gournay-en-Bray 3 weeks ago but is unlikely to spring any surprises
  4. INSTAR JOKE – Oddly below-par 7th of 16 behind HISTOIRE DE LIERRE (11) in a 2850m Laval amateurs Class G on 29 March. Should not be hastily-judged and will be expected to redeem himself
  5. ILLUSTRE BLUE – Returns to racing barefoot after running 9th of 16 behind HISTOIRE DE LIERRE (11) in a 2850m Laval amateurs Class G on 29 March. As comfortable in the amateur ranks as professional and could pleasantly surprise
  6. J’ADORE CHENEVIERE – 5th of 13 in a 2775m Elbeuf claimer 2 weeks ago but looks a rank outsider on amateur bow
  7. JULLIAN DADDY – Smartly won a 2600m Nancy amateurs Class G on 29 March. Consistently gives everything he has and, again from the first line, can double his money
  8. JET COMMANDERIE – Useful element debuting in the amateur division but has not raced since being sanctioned in a 2825m Cordemais Class D mid-January. Benefits from a fine entry though and should not be ruled out
  9. HIVAOA DES BROUETS – Unseen since running 4th of 16 in a 2525m claimer at Les Andelys last August. Shoes on and no threat
  10. GREAT STUDBAKER – Superb in this division and even though unraced since winning a 2800m amateurs Class H at Villedieu-les-Poëles last September, could still get a look-in
  11. HISTOIRE DE LIERRE – 4th of 16 in a 2850m Laval amateurs Class G on 29 March. On back row again but is more competitively shod and must be taken seriously
  12. GET READY – Back in the amateur category after finishing 9th of 13 in a 2750m Toulouse Class F a month ago and the extra 25m will do him no favours
  13. FLASH BACK DU NORD – Failed to deliver when 6th of 10 in a 2150m Mauquenchy amateurs Class G on 17 March and is not easy to recommend
  14. JUDITH REINE – 7th of 15 on comeback in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E a fortnight back. Incurs the handicap but is nicely-engaged and unlikely to be far off the mark
  15. IDEAL MOSSA – Makes first start since finishing last but one in a 2850m Vincennes Class E on 21 December. Races shod and can be ruled out
    Summary: So often so close, JULLIAN DADDY (7) finally got off the mark late last month, doing it in style, and a similar performance would see him repeat. That said, the in-form and barefoot JAPPELOUP CARNOIS (2) takes to the amateur category for the first time and looks particularly dangerous from the front row. JUDITH REINE (14) made an encouraging re-entry and even though 25m worse off, is proven in the day’s configuration and makes her amateur bow with legitimate ambition. HISTOIRE DE LIERRE (11) encouraged at Laval a fortnight ago and, with hind shoes off, is in with a shout of making the frame this time.

  16. MAORI NUEVO – Qualified in 1’18″8 at Laval last May. Has been afforded ample time to come into himself and, if as good as believed, can get straight down to business
  17. MOGADOR – Set off no fireworks in last July’s qualification but comes from a good home and it would be no surprise to see him finish in the mix
  18. MY LOVELY LADY – Qualified in 1’19″9 at Laval last October but will need to show more in order to make any impact here
  19. MESSIRE DU GERS – Sanctioned in a 2475m Royan Class F on debut last weekend. Left a good impression thereafter though and can wrap this up if Nicolas Bazire keeps him trotting
  20. MOONLIGHT DU RHIN – Broke into a gallop on debut in a 2000m Rambouillet Class F late-March and is unlikely to trouble the judge
  21. MALMO DE PUCH – Failed to confirm excellent qualification when 6th of 8 finishers on debut in a 2375m Challans Class F 3 weeks ago, but must be given another chance. Attention
  22. MAYA DE LA FYE – 10th of 14 behind MOJITO FRAISE (10) in a 2000m Rambouillet Class F a fortnight ago. Yet to show any flair for the game and can be ruled out
  23. MARIE LOU DE LARRE – Pleased on debut before faulting, when unsupported, in a 2300m Class F here mid-March, and can expect to have few takers
  24. MATCH LOVE – Goes left-handed this time after coming 3rd of 13 in a 2425m Angers Class F 3 weeks ago. Eric Raffin at the helm and will be afforded every chance
  25. MOJITO FRAISE – Good 3rd of 14 in a 2000m Rambouillet Class F a fortnight ago. Looks the sort that would appreciate this longer trip and, with form maintained, can figure prominently
  26. MISTERIOSO – Lost his action in a 2700m Graignes Class F 3 weeks ago, but can make a big splash if he replicates his Cherbourg effort
  27. MONIA VERDERIE – Respectable filly that lost her action in a 2450m Caen Class F early last month. Will acquit herself honestly but others still easier to back
    Summary: A promising colt from a top yard, MESSIRE DU GERS (4) lost his action first time out, but nonetheless showed his form, and with application can more than make amends. MISTERIOSO (11) was unable at Graignes to confirm his fine Cherbourg debut and the same caveat applies. Pierre-Edouard Mary thinks a lot of the untried MAORI NUEVO (1) who is not here just to go home empty-handed. MOJITO FRAISE (10) got back in the game at Rambouillet and Benjamin Rochard can be confident of another good performance.

  29. LUNA BLANCA – 2nd of 12, when first-time barefoot, in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 16 March. Takes on marginally better this time but looks thoroughly capable of finishing thereabouts
  30. LILIBETH SMART – Useful sort that was surprisingly sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes Class F mid-March. Has already won here though and Gabriele Gelormini will be keen to put things right
  31. L’ULKA DI LEONE – Good, consistent filly making first start since running 4th of 11 in a 2725m Graignes Class E last November. Unlikely to cause an upset but should nevertheless finish in the mix
  32. LOVELY KILY – Pleasant 3rd of 12, on return run, in a 2600m Class F at Blain-Bouvron-Le Gâvre 3 weeks ago. Trainer in the bike this time, sports modified shoeing, and has the wherewithal to make first 5
  33. LEONTINE CASH – Runs first-time barefoot after coming 3rd of 13 in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche late last month. Top talent at the helm and looks the one to beat
  34. LOLLIPOP D’UNEVIE – Won over course and distance mid-March but sanctioned 9 days later in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F, and can be passed over
  35. LOU DE LOSQUE – Failed to confirm Mauquenchy victory when 8th of 15 in a 2200m Vincennes Class E on 18 February. Comes here fresh but still not a concern
  36. LADY DU COUDOU – Sanctioned, when unsupported, in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F on 25 March and can expect to have few friends
  37. LALIE SOLAU – Promising sort but has not been seen out since running 3rd of 9 in a 2800m Class C at Castera-Verduzan last August, and will need the race
  38. LILY BAM – 10th of 16, on re-entry, in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class F on 17 March. Will have progressed for the run, races with front shoes off, but others still preferred
  39. LIBERTINE DE CHENU – Good 3rd of 14 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 31 March. Has turned a corner this year and looks main threat to LEONTINE CASH (6)
    Summary: Thoroughly professional since her first steps on the track, LEONTINE CASH (6) made a fine re-entry at Le Croise-Laroche and, racing barefoot with Benjamin Rochard in the bike this time, can get off the mark. On the way back up and yet to disappoint in the day’s configuration, LIBERTINE DE CHENU (12) will be no easy touch, and neither will the progressive LIBERTE DE L’AUNAY (1) who races unshod-behind for the first time. LILIBETH SMART (3) will be expected to bounce back from last month’s sanction.

  42. LAZIO – Unraced since coming 5th of 8 in a 2250m Enghien monte Class E last July. Here for reasons of conditioning and will have nothing to contribute

  44. LUCULLUS DU DOLLAR – Returns to a hard surface after running 5th of 15 in a 2600m Class F at Blain-Bouvron-Le Gâvre 3 weeks ago and is unlikely to be far from the action
  45. LOOKING GOOD ER – Disappointing 6th of 9 finishers in a 2700m Graignes Class F mid-March and will need to raise his game
  46. LOOK DE LARRE – Moderate sort that was sanctioned on first start back, faulting in a 2875m Class F at Meslay-du-Maine on 18 March, and can be disregarded
  47. LOUP DE MER – Produced a good effort to run 3rd of 9 in a 2900m Amiens Class F mid-March. Placed in one of 2 here and is worth monitoring
  48. LARRY DU DOUBS – Won over course and distance mid-March before running 6th of 13 in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F 3 weeks ago. Never easy to gauge but still has the capacity to pick up a cheque
  49. LEADER BEACH – Superb in both return runs, most recently winning a Class F over track and trip on 16 March. Is unbeaten with his driver and Eric Raffin will be determined to keep it that way
  50. LAMA DE CORDAY – Solid in 3 of 4 to date, latterly 3rd of 9 in a 2700m Vire Class F early last month. Has freshness on his side and a realistic chance of finishing close
  51. L’AMIRAL SACHA – 2nd of 13 on re-entry in a 2700m Graignes Class F 10 days ago. Comes here in good morale and shape, and can impose if he takes to the new conditions
    Summary: A quality element that produced an excellent performance on his first start since December, the nicely-engaged L’AMIRAL SACHA (12) will have come on for the run and should logically open his 2025 account. LAMA DE CORDAY (11) has hardly put a foot wrong so far, and even though untried left-handed, he races barefoot and will be no soft touch. A course-and-distance winner mid-March, on his first association with Eric Raffin, LEADER BEACH (10) will not go down easily. LUCULLUS DU DOLLAR (5) has been holding his own since the break and, barefoot for the first time on a hard surface, is unlikely to disappoint.

  53. KISS ME BABY – 11th of 18, on return to competition, in a 2725m Lisieux Class E 2.5 weeks ago and with shoes on will have little to offer

  58. KEEPER BAY – Useful campaigner but has not been seen out since running 2nd of 14 in a 2100m Parilly Class F mid-December and can be passed over
  59. KIWI DE CONNEE – Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2800m Class F at Villedieu-les-Poëles 2 weeks ago. Has previously imposed with Eric Raffin and can do so again
  60. KAPRICE D’EVAILLES – Steps up in category after winning a 2750m Elbeuf Class H a fortnight ago. Enjoys a good entry in front and will have a claim on the silverware
  61. KOLOSSE RHODES – Disappointing in both return runs, most recently sanctioned in a 2400m Amiens Class F mid-March. Pads fitted this time and cannot be considered a player
  62. KISSES ROYALE – Serious mare making first appearance since winning a 2700m Vincennes Class E last August. Stays shod for the occasion but should nevertheless give an honourable account
  63. KAISER BEGONIA – Unseen since finishing 11th of 14 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D last October and is not about to spice things up
  64. KINGDOM DE CHENU – Respectable 6th of 8 in a 2150m Enghien Class E on 25 March. Breaks from 2nd line but will appreciate a return to Chartres and will be expected to figure prominently
    Summary: Christophe Mallet appears to have a lock on this race with the wonderfully-engaged pair of KIWI DE CONNEE (8), who goes barefoot with Eric Raffin reining, and recent winner, KAPRICE D’EVAILLES (9), who is confirmed at the venue. KEVISE BECO (5) has 2 runs in her since the winter layoff and should be able to contest the finish. Well-entered at the limit of earnings, KINGDOM DE CHENU (13) has an extra 25m to travel but is in form, has previously won here, and looks player.

  69. JEALOUS GIRL – Has 2 races under her belt, latterly 9th of 11 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class E 10 days ago. Shod to preference this time and is not incapable of making her presence felt
  70. JERONIMO DU CAUX – Unremarkable 7th of 16 in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche late last month and with shoes on this time is unlikely to influence the outcome
  71. JAHINA VITA – 12th of 14 in a 2825m Cordemais Class E a fortnight ago. Missed the break that day but enjoys a good entry and can play a leading role if Frédéric Guinhut gets him off to a decent start
  72. HORS CADRE – Last of 13 when being prepared for this in a 2700m Graignes amateurs Class G 10 days ago. Barefoot for the occasion, on front row, but others still preferred
  73. JIM D’ALOUETTE – 3rd of 16 in a 2875m Enghien Class E a month ago. Is plainly close to winning another and racing barefoot may be just the ticket
  74. IERMES DE GUEZ – Quality individual that ran 4th of 12, on return to competition, in a 2850m Vincennes E 9 days ago. Incurs the handicap but will have progressed for the run and may yet prove the main danger
  75. GRAND PAJELO – Sanctioned on return to competition 2 weeks ago in a 2825m Cordemais Class F. Shoes on again and can be ruled out
  76. HANDZARO DU BOCAGE – Excellent servant here for reasons of conditioning after running 11th of 13 in a 2450m Caen Class E late last month and best to hold off
  77. JALIMEDE – Has not been seen out since running 6th of 11 in a 2100m Vincennes Class B on 23 January. Shoes on and poses no danger
  78. JETIDA – Tough mare making first start since finishing a surprising last but one in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 16 February. Has been freshly-reconfigured and should not be ruled out
  79. JAZZ DE PERVENCHE – Won an Enghien amateurs before running 2nd of 16 in a 2800m Argentan Class E 3.5 weeks ago. Unlikely to win this from the 2nd line but sports a new formula and is still competitive for a first-5 cheque
  80. JIPET DE CREPIN – Serious trotter making first start since winning a 2850m Vincennes Class C mid-January. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be passed over
    Summary: Wonderfully-entered on the front row and currently in fine form, JIM D’ALOUETTE (9) races barefoot for the first time, at a track he will appreciate, and should be able to wrap this up. Even though 25m worse off, IERMES DE GUEZ (10) reassured in good company at Vincennes and, similarly-shod, will be no pushover. Runner-up in an amateur event on comeback, IBIZA DE CONNEE (4) breaks in front this time, runs barefoot, and is reunited with Eric Raffin. JAHINA VITA (7) raced better at Cordemais than the result would suggest and, proven at Chartres, must be retained.

  86. JEFF DE TILLARD – Won under harness at La Capelle before repeating in a 2550m monte Class F at Gournay-en-Bray 3 weeks ago and the hat-trick is very much in play
  87. JUPITER DE VAL – Excellent in both return runs, most recently 4th of 12 in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 25 March. Will be close to his best and makes his Chartres debut with a good hand to play
  88. IMPEC DE BERTRANGE – Modest sort that ran last to 12 to JAR BEN (2) in a 2700m Graignes Class F mid-March. Shoes on and can be ruled out
  89. JAZZ MARTINEZ – Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2700m harness Class F at Le Croise-Laroche, but has considerable aptitude, has been entrusted to Benjamin Rochard, and the entry could not have been better
  90. JACKPOT DU CHOQUEL – Starts for first time since finishing last of 9 in a 2175m Vincennes Class C last August and is going to need the race
  91. JUBY DE BAILLY – 15th of 17 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E 2 weeks ago. Unraced under the saddle for almost exactly a year and is not about to cause an upset
  92. IKITORI – As solid as a rock since late-December, most recently 2nd of 11 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class G early-March, and will be no easy touch
  93. JAVA WIC – Is close to her best, most recently 3rd of 9 in a 2875m Argentan Class E on 19 March. Is due a win soon and despite the penalty can still compete for a place in the frame
  94. IRIS THORIS – Returns to her code of preference after running 12th of 18 in a 2625m Cherbourg harness Class D conditioner a week ago. Has never delivered at Chartres but, considering the engagement, deserves to be taken seriously
    Summary: Runner-up in her last two, and eye-catching at Mauquenchy mid-March, JACADI DE PEBRAC (4) put on a good show on his lone Chartres start and is easy to like for the win. Estelle Croisic can still expect to feel the heat from fellow front-row starters, JEFF DE TILLARD (6), who comes here on a hat-trick, and JUPITER DE VAL (7) who drops down the category-ladder. Very hard to knock when barefoot, JAVA WIC (13) is forced to travel an extra 25m, but is still competitive for a spot on the podium.

    Summary: A very competitive lucky last. LADY JULES (7) has fair form in stronger company and a change in shoe arrangement could spark a winning run. She has disqualification issues but remains barefoot and is better judged on her solid penultimate performance. LUMIO FALL (1) showed vast improvement last time out and could have more to offer. LE COQUIN (6) is very unreliable but tries barefoot for the first time and could surprise.
    SELECTIONS – LADY JULES (7) – LADY LAMOTTE (5) – LUMIO FALL (1) – LE COQUIN (6)
