R1 CABOURG [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DE LISIEUX – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 29,000

  1. LOVELY TRIP – Last of 12 finishers in a Class D over course and distance 3 weeks ago but is clearly being aimed too high
  2. KRONOS DE TROIS – Ran 2nd at Mauquenchy before coming 4th of 7 finishers in a 2300m Chateaubriant Class F a fortnight back. Sports 4 pads for first time and should not be underestimated
  3. LYRA POTERIE – Tricky filly that finished last but one in a 2725m Class D here a month back. Has a lot more going for her this time and on good behaviour is unlikely to disappoint
  4. JOKER BODENSEE – Unplaced in last 2, most recently 7th of 10 finishers in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class F on 15 August, and can be confidently ruled out
  5. LAST DES BROUSSES – Surprising 3rd of 10 in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 2 August. Appears to be close to his best and will not be sent out at 78/1 this time
  6. LA TRINITE NEMO – Was competitive for a place when eliminated in a Class D under these conditions 3 weeks ago. Is an excellent servant for the most part and with stride in check can make a big impact
  7. LULU DES CARREAUX – Made amends for Enghien clinker when dominating a Class E over course and distance 10 days ago. In tougher company this time but is 25m better off and can double his money
  8. JILINO – Got back in the game a week ago when 4th of 10 in a 2875m Class H at Bagnoles-de-l’Orne. Enjoys a good entry but is still out of his depth
  9. JULLOU – Reassuring 3rd of 14 in a 2875m amateurs Class G at Meslay-du-Maine last week but is taking on too much this time
  10. KHAMSA – Classy mare that ran 10th of 11 behind KAZACHOK (11) when being prepared for this in a 2150m Argentan Class D 2 weeks ago. Is still in conditioning-mode though and best to hold off
  11. KAZACHOK – Sports 4 pads for first time after running 5th of 11 in a 2150m Argentan Class D 2 weeks ago. On back row but can still play an active role
  12. JAMAICA D’OYSE – Ran 4th in good company here on 25 July prior to finishing 6th of 16 in a 3450m Agon Class E a fortnight later. Incurs the penalty but still has the capacity to make first 5
    Summary: Advantage to those starting in front here and recent course-and-distance winner LULU DES CARREAUX (7) is easy to fancy for a repeat performance. Opposing him here, LA TRINITE NEMO (6) will be expected to bounce back from her recent elimination, and LYRA POTERIE (3) who sports a new configuration and will be reined by Yoann Lebourgeois for the first time. LAST DES BROUSSES (5) gave a reassuringly good account at Enghien 3 weeks ago and returns to racing clockwise with a good hand to play.
    SELECTIONS
    LULU DES CARREAUX (7) – LA TRINITE NEMO (6) – LYRA POTERIE (3) – LAST DES BROUSSES (5)
    C2 – PRIX DE VILLEDIEU LES POÊLES – 2050m (a1m1/4) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 25,000
  13. LOU D’ECROVILLE – Sanctioned for the 4th time in succession when faulting in a 2150m Argentan Class D a fortnight ago and others easier to trust
  14. LUNE DE L’EMION – 7th of 9 finishers on re-entry in a 2750m Class E here 10 days ago. Starts in front but is going to need another run
  15. LOUBIANA DU BOURG – Eliminated on return to competition 11 days ago, after faulting in a 2850m Brehal Class E. Has shown significant talent, has twice won right-handed, and is ideally-placed to give this a good go
  16. LOLA D’OHARA – Got off the mark in a 2950m Biarritz Class E 3 weeks ago, at 19th time of asking. Is barefoot as she was when 2nd at Feurs, benefits from a terrific draw, and should not be overlooked
  17. LADY MAJOR – 4th of 10 in a 2150m Argentan Class D on 9 August. Gets a top pilot this time and from the 5-spot will have her chances
  18. LIO DE PIENCOURT – Back under harness after being eliminated in a 2450m Caen monte Class F in late-May. Is barefoot with David Thomain in the bike, but still looks an outsider
  19. LILY ROSE MYSTIC – Made up for June blip when making short work of a 2700m Class E at La Capelle a month ago. Drawn wide but still looks a serious proposition
  20. LUCKY LADY D’AMOUR – Makes first appearance since being eliminated in a 2325m Toulouse monte Class D in early-May. Shoes on and no threat
  21. LOVE ME ALWAYS – Last of 10 behind LADY DE NEUILLY (13) in a 2875m Enghien Class E on 27 July. Goes barefoot this time but appears to be taking on too much
  22. LADY DE JANEIRO – Sanctioned early in a 2750m Class E here a month ago. Handed a 2nd line draw and will struggle to make her presence felt
  23. LAURA SISSI – Showed marked improvement when 2nd of 11 in a 2725m Class E here a week ago. Has form here and while unlikely to win this, can nonetheless finish in the mix
  24. LUGACHA – Returns to racing barefoot after finishing 8th of 11 in a 2150m Enghien Class D a month ago. Franck Nivard at the helm but still not a priority
  25. LADY DE NEUILLY – Non partante
  26. LEWISIA DE LATOM – Has taken her game to a new level recently, lastly winning a 2750m Class E here late last month. Has been reconfigured, and Robin Lamy would have preferred a better draw, but still looks a respectable first-5 prospect
    Summary: A fine filly with an excellent record, LADY DE NEUILLY (13) may not be the best-positioned here but she runs barefoot on sand for the first time and should still be good enough to win this. LILY ROSE MYSTIC (7) however, did get back in the winners’ circle last time out and will be no pushover if she stays in stride. Hard to knock of late, LADY MAJOR (5) is first-time barefoot and has been entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois. LOUBIANA DU BOURG (3) is not the easiest of horses to handle but she has ample ability and will have come on for her re-entry run.
    SELECTIONS
    LILY ROSE MYSTIC (7) – LADY MAJOR (5) – LOUBIANA DU BOURG (3) – LEWISIA DE LATOM (14)
    C3 – PRIX DE GRAIGNES – 2725m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 26,000
  27. KALINKA DU HOME – Got back in the winners’ circle at Amiens before running 5th of 9 finishers in a 2750m Class E here 10 days ago. Enjoys a terrific entry and Joachim Brandon Lelièvre will be eager to oblige
  28. KIRENE FLASH – Runner-up in last 3 starts, most recently a 2600m Class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel in mid-July. Handed a decent draw and is eminently capable of getting her nose in front this time
  29. KALIPETTE JELOCA – 8th of 14 on comeback in a Class E over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Nicely in on the front line, and barefoot for the occasion, but represents a minor place chance at best
  30. KATANE DU CORTA – Finished last of 10 on re-entry in a 2700m Graignes Class F 2 weeks ago. Is barefoot and nicely placed behind the car this time and must be considered a contender
  31. KIRA DE CAHOT – Left a good impression when 4th of 8 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E late last month. Is by no means a priority but will have her supporters
  32. KHARA DRY – Last but one behind KALIPETTE JELOCA (3) on re-entry in a 2750m Class F here on 25 July and has no realistic chance
  33. KAPELLA DAIRPET – Took little time showing her form following a lengthy break, coming 2nd of 16 in a 2875m Enghien Class E last week. Is still progressing and looks a major player once more
  34. KALI DES LANDIERS – Back racing with shoes fitted after running 5th of 11 in a 2475m Francheville Class F last Sunday and will not be taking Cabourg by storm
  35. KALINE DJOB – Could have finished closer than 5th of 14 behind KATINKA COTON (12) in a 2750m Class F here 2.5 weeks ago had she been afforded a run. Was at 89/1 that day and others easier to back
  36. KISSES ROYALE – Eliminated in last 2, latterly a 2875m Enghien Class E last week. Not the most courageous of horses but can play a part if Yoann Lebourgeois keeps her focused
  37. KSARYA DE CHENU – Failed to confirm Vichy success when last of 12 behind KIRA DE CAHOT (5) in a 2750m Ecommoy Class F a month ago and is unlikely to generate much interest
  38. KATINKA COTON – Beaten only by a good horse in a 2750m Class F here 2.5 weeks ago. Not ideally drawn but should prove no problem over 2725m and with stride in check could pleasantly surprise
  39. KALANSKA – 4th behind KIRENE FLASH (2) at Le Mont-Saint-Michel before repeating behind KATINKA COTON (12) in a 2750m Class F here 2.5 weeks ago. On back row with Pierre-Yves Verva reining and has a decent chance of making first 4
    Summary: Reinvigorated lately, and very effective with David Thomain in the bike, KIRENE FLASH (2) is clearly close to her race and returns to racing barefoot with a realistic chance of opening her 2025 account. KAPELLA DAIRPET (7) showed her form at Enghien last week and even though drawn wide still looks the main threat. KATANE DU CORTA (4) always gives her best, has a race under her belt, and with shoes off is unlikely to disappoint. Less favourably drawn but solid here earlier in the month, KATINKA COTON (12) will be no easy touch.
    SELECTIONS
    KIRENE FLASH (2) – KAPELLA DAIRPET (7) – KATANE DU CORTA (4) – KATINKA COTON (12)
    C4 – PRIX D’ARGENTAN – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 37,000
  40. JALDO D’OCQUE – Failed to confirm Mont-Saint-Michel performance when 9th of 13 in a 2700m Class F at Aix-les-Bains on 5 August. Is unbeaten here though and should logically start to show improvement
  41. DADA DEL RONCO – Has not been seen out since dominating a 2100m Vincennes Class E in late- April. Is barefoot for re-entry, with Franck Nivard in the bike, and must be taken seriously
  42. FROU FROU – Yet to get into his stride this term, latterly last of 13 in a 2725m Class E here 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly capable on a good day but must first reaffirm his credentials
  43. ANOTHER CREATION – Last of 13 to JOURNEE REVEE (6) in a Class D over track and trip on 4 July. Has failed to make any impression after returning from a lengthy hiatus and can be ruled out
  44. DRAGOWSKI – Placed in Toulouse before running an unlucky 6th of 13 to JOURNEE REVEE in a Class D over track and trip on 4 July. Boasts an enviable strike-rate and looks competitively well in
  45. JOURNEE REVEE – Won over course and distance in early-July but eliminated in a 2150m Enghien Class B a fortnight back. Boasts a remarkable Cabourg record and looks the pick of the lot again
  46. JUST DE L’OISON – Good 2nd of 9 on re-entry 2 weeks ago in a 2650m Class D at Les Sables-d’Olonne. Won his lone start at the venue and can confirm
  47. JET EXPRESS – Tenacious 3rd of 11 in a 2500m Class C at La Rochelle on 28 July. Has a particular liking for the venue and in current condition is easy to recommend for a place in the frame
  48. GATSBY WIC – 7th of 11 finishers in a 2400m Amiens Class D in late-July. Springs the occasional surprise but with shoes back on is not about to spice things up
  49. ICARE DE PHYT’S – Starts for the first time since being pulled-up in a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-June. Shoes on and no threat
  50. L.A.BOKO – 5th of 13 in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 19 July. Has solid references over longer and if focused will be competitive for a cheque
  51. IKURO JIEL – Easy winner of a 2250m Enghien monte Class C early this month but was subsequently eliminated. Returns to racing barefoot but is here for reasons of conditioning and is unlikely to influence the outcome
  52. GASOLIN – Last but one behind L.A. BOKO in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 19 July. Out of the picture in all 3 starts this summer but benefits from a good entry and will be worth monitoring
    Summary: A tricky character she may be but JOURNEE REVEE (6) left a very good impression here in July and can impose if Jean-Philippe Dubois manages to keep her trotting. That said, JUST DE L’OISON (7) seldom lets the side down, is unbeaten here, and will have come on for his return run. Reassuring at La Rochelle late last month, JET EXPRESS (8) appreciates Cabourg conditions and merits considerable respect. DRAGOWSKI (5) has solid references at this level and is reunited with Gabriele Gelormini. L.A.BOKO (11) consistently gives everything he has and should prove competitive.
    SELECTIONS
    JOURNEE REVEE (6) – JUST DE L’OISON (7) – JET EXPRESS (8) – DRAGOWSKI (5)
    C5 – PRIX D’ALENCON – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Mounted – EUR € 33,000
  53. GINKGO ROCQ – 6th of 8 finishers in a 2875m Argentan Class E 2 weeks ago and will need to find considerably more
  54. IDEAL D’ARTONGES – Ran 3rd under the saddle at Amiens before finishing 12th of 15 in a 3025m harness Class D at Montier-en-Der on 19 July. In superior company this time and not an obvious choice
  55. INDIAN FIGHTER – Gives the monte code another go after running 4th of 12 in a harness Class D over course and distance 3 weeks ago, but chances nevertheless seem limited
  56. HAZOE DES GLENAN – Good, consistent mare than ran 4th of 9 in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 9 August. Seldom disappoints here and, reverting to racing with 4 pads, is unlikely to return home empty-handed
  57. HYM SUBLIGNAIS – Runner-up in his last 3 starts, latterly to IVRE DE TOI (8) in a 3100m Vibraye Class E a week ago. Will be rewarded one of these days but may once again have to settle for a place cheque
  58. IDYLLE COPAISE – Was preparing for this when 8th of 10 in a harness Class E over course and distance on Tuesday and backs up with a realistic chance of imposing
  59. HELL GIRL CHATHO – Back under the saddle after finishing 9th of 12 in a 2750m Ecommoy Class F a month back. Left a good impression at Caen last time in the discipline and is shod as she was that day. First 5
  60. IVRE DE TOI – Comfortable winner of a 3100m Vibraye Class E a week ago. Hard to knock when barefoot and focused and a repeat is not out of the question
  61. GENTLEMAN LOVER – Out of the picture in all 3 starts this term, latterly last but one in a 3450m Agon Class E a fortnight ago. Eliminated in all 3 ridden outings and is not about to change his ways
  62. IN LOVE REGLISSE – Easy winner of a harness Class E under these conditions late last month. Has also imposed here in the ridden code and will be no soft touch
    Summary: Back in her code of preference after being conditioned under harness, IDYLLE COPAISE (6) went close under these conditions earlier in the year and looks good enough to win a race of this nature. IN LOVE REGLISSE (10), on the other hand, is as good in one code as the other and Esteban De Jesus will be confident he can confirm his latest harness victory. A terrific campaigner in this branch of the game, IVRE DE TOI (8) is not incapable of repeating her Vibraye success. Second to her that day, HYM SUBLIGNAIS (5) can again finish in the mix.
    SELECTIONS
    IDYLLE COPAISE (6) – IN LOVE REGLISSE (10) – IVRE DE TOI (8) – HYM SUBLIGNAIS (5)
    C6 – PRIX DE BOURIGNY – 2050m (a1m1/4) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 22,000
  63. MAJOR DU MAINE – Useful type that ran 4th of 7 in a 2400m Amiens Class E late last month. Starts on the inside here and can expect to find this a stiff test
  64. MIRADOR PLANCHETTE – Made up for July clinker when 3rd of 13 in a 2725m Class E here 2 weeks ago. Decently placed behind the car and with his mind on the game can again finish thereabouts
  65. MILLE MERCIS – Got off the mark late last month prior to finishing last but one in a 2150m Argentan Class E a fortnight ago. Has been handed a decent draw though and Jean-Philippe Dubois will be eager to take advantage
  66. MAGNUS DE FLEUR – Stormed up in a 2850m Brehal Class F on 11 August. Unlikely to be any less effective on sand and can double his money
  67. MULTIPASS – Eliminated in 2 before running 6th of 9 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class E on 24 July and has a lot more to find
  68. MIDNIGHT WAY – Eliminated on debut but has been consistent since, latterly 3rd of 13 in a 2200m Agon Class E on 25 July. Starts on front line and should be good enough to challenge for a place in the frame
  69. MINUS DE CHENU – Starts for the first time since comfortably winning a 2200m Vichy Class F on 24 June. Comes here fresh and despite the wide draw can still play a small role
  70. MACHO PERRINE – Debuts on a hard surface after running 2nd of 13 to MAGNUS DE FLEUR (4) in a 2850m Brehal Class F on 11 August. Forced to break from 2nd row but still looks a serious proposition
  71. MOMENT MAJYC – Debuted nicely at Avranches before winning a 2750m Class F at La Ferte-Vidame early this month, but appears to be taking on too much this time
  72. MICA DE FARCHAT – Pleased under the saddle at Caen before being eliminated in a 2700m Class F at La Capelle a month back. Is plainly in form though and should not be entirely written off
  73. MAESTRO VET – Lost his action when on course for victory in a 2650m Portbail Class F on 10 August. Gets to race on sand for first time which may just prove key to his rehabilitation
  74. MISTRAL DES SABLES – Eliminated in a 2500m Chinon Class H a week ago. Has yet to show any particular ability and can be passed over
  75. MY BUDDY – Courageous 5th of 10 in a claimer over course and distance 10 days ago but in this company will have too much to do
  76. MAX DE LA NOE – Failed to confirm Guerlesquin performance when eliminated in a 2500m Vibraye Class F a week ago and under these conditions has no possible chance
    Summary: Unopposed winner on turf recently, MAGNUS DE FLEUR (4) finds himself ideally-placed on the front line and Yoann Lebourgeois will be expecting to double his money. Runner-up to him that day after having imposed first time out, MACHO PERRINE (8) has been handed a tough number but Franck Nivard will not be unduly concerned. MIDNIGHT WAY (6) has been progressing nicely and deserves to take his chances here. MAESTRO VET (11) would have won at Portbail had he stayed trotting and Bertrand Le Beller will be determined to set the record straight.
    SELECTIONS
    MAGNUS DE FLEUR (4) – MACHO PERRINE (8) – MIDNIGHT WAY (6) – MAESTRO VET (11)
    C7 – PRIX DE CARENTAN – 2050m (a1m1/4) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 21,000
  77. NEWZIRA JOSSELYN – Complicated but talented filly that was eliminated in a 2150m Saint-Malo Class E a week ago. Starts on the inside but will not be far from the action if Robin Lamy keeps her focused
  78. NIKITA DE BLARY – 4th of 9 in a 2250m Enghien Class D on 19 July. Entrusted to David Thomain this time and will be one to watch
  79. NIZZA ROCCA – Encountered a very good colt when 2nd of 8 in a 2150m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne a fortnight ago. No colts to face this time, will have progressed for the race, and could well have her day in the sun
  80. NATIVE DE PLAY – 3rd of 9, a place behind NOELA JOSSELYN (5), in a Class E under these conditions 2.5 weeks ago. Has more to find but can still challenge for a spot on the podium
  81. NOELA JOSSELYN – Good 2nd of 9 in a Class E under these conditions 2.5 weeks ago. Has bags of untapped potential and every chance of getting off the mark
  82. NAYARA – 3rd of 7 in a 2250m Enghien Class D late last month despite losing her action. Gets to start in front here and is unlikely to be far off the mark
  83. NEVADARA – Showed improvement when 3rd of 6 in a 2475m Francheville Class E last Friday. Forced to break wide and cannot be considered a contender
  84. NIGHT DE BANVILLE – Qualified in an unremarkable 1’20″7 at Caen 3 weeks ago. Handed an unfavourable number and others easier to back
  85. NIGHT ERCA – Courageous but unthreatening 5th of 9 behind NOELA JOSSELYN (5) in a Class E under these conditions 2.5 weeks ago and is not about to improve on that
  86. NOBLESSE OBLIGE EC – Qualified in 1’17″9 at Caen on 17 July. Not ideally-positioned for career debut though and is unlikely to shake things up
  87. NESTOLA – Racecourse debutante that qualified in 1’19″9 at Caen a fortnight ago and from the back row is unlikely to create an upset
  88. NOBILITY – 4th of 9 in a 2250m Class G at La Ferte-Vidame on 3 August. Should have no issue with the hard surface and despite a poor draw, can still figure prominently at the business end of the race
  89. NEBELINE LEMAN – Unplaced in both to date, latterly 6th of 9 behind NOBILITY (12) in a 2250m Class G at La Ferte-Vidame earlier in the month, and can be confidently passed over
  90. NEBULEUSE FLIGNY – Qualified in 1’20″2 at Caen early last month. Has pulled a tough number for racecourse bow and chances appear slim
    Summary: After qualifying nicely at Caen in May, NOELA JOSSELYN (5) was beaten only by a very good horse on debut here earlier this month and can open her account this time. NATIVE DE PLAY (4) ran a place behind her that day and can again figure prominently, but will first have to see off the promising NIZZA ROCCA (3) who is nicely placed in front, and NAYARA (6) who pleased at Enghien despite being unsure of stride.

    C8 – PRIX DE MOULINS LA MARCHE – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Mounted – EUR € 22,000
  91. MY FUNNY VALENTINE – Eliminated in all 3 starts to date, latterly a 2250m Enghien Class E late last month, and other more faithful options available
  92. MADERE – Showed improvement when 4th of 11 to MISS GRAIGNES (9) in a 2375m Dozule Class F on 13 August. Cannot be considered a priority on this occasion though
  93. MAYO DES FLOTS – Quickly eliminated in a Class F under these conditions 2.5 weeks ago. Has no right-handed references and chances appear limited
  94. MALAGA DU DIGEON – Makes first start since running 3rd of 9, on career debut, in a 2950m Vichy harness Class F mid-June. Makes first start for the Bonne stable and must be considered a serious player
  95. MADONE ROCHEL – Last of 5 at Graignes before being eliminated in a 2150m Biarritz Class D on 10 July, and will not be troubling the judge
  96. MADAME DE MORNY – Just missed out, on ridden debut 2.5 weeks ago, in a Class F over course and distance. Is plainly a decent filly in the making and can again figure prominently
  97. MIMI RAUDIERE – Makes ridden bow almost a month after finishing 5th of 11 in a 2200m Agon Class E. Takes on some good elements this time and others preferred
  98. MISS SPEED – Lost her maiden status at first time of asking, lifting a 2625m harness Class G at Saint-Jean-de-Monts late last month. Oscar Placier in charge this time and can be confident of another big performance. Chance
  99. MISS GRAIGNES – Got off the mark in a 2375m Dozule Class F last week. Will have come on for the run and although unlikely to double up can nevertheless play an active role
  100. MAGIE DE GUIBRAY – Pleasantly surprising 3rd of 10 finishers, a place behind MADAME DE MORNY (6), in a Class F over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago, and in similar form can pick up another cheque
  101. MALICIA – Debuts in the discipline after being eliminated in a 2300m Bernay Class E on 13 July, and is not about to influence the result
  102. MIMI D’AUVILLIER – Unremarkable 4th of 8 finishers, on ridden debut, in a Class F over track and trip on 18 July. Is unlikely to spring any surprises but can nonetheless hold her own
  103. MONA GALAA – Returns to the code after finishing last of 10 on comeback in a harness claimer over course and distance 10 days ago. Is not the worst horse here but still seems to be taking on too much
  104. MALICIA JIEL – Makes first appearance since being eliminated in a 2550m Reims Class E on 17 May. Is already a winner under the saddle and can get in on the action if she gets off on the right foot
  105. MAGGY PAULO – Showed improvement when 4th of 8 finishers in a 2150m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne last week. Has yet to show any particular bent for the code but can still get a look in
    Summary: Switched to the ridden code after living up to expectations on her harness debut late-July, MISS SPEED (8) is not incapable of repeating. Oscar Placier will still be vigilant of MALAGA DU DIGEON (4) who moved yards after her promising June bow. MADAME DE MORNY (6) left a very good impression here earlier in the month and should again prove competitive, as should MISS GRAIGNES (9) who opened her monte account last week.

    R2 DIVONNE [L-H]

C1 – PX DE VILLARD – PX FULL MOON MINI GOLF – 2000m (a1m1/4) – Class G Amateur Drivers Race – Harness – EUR € 6,000

  1. GIORGIO DU VIVIER – Fourth in a class G at this track over 2600m on 17 August. Seldom far off them and has place prospects
  2. JOLIE GRAVURE – Ran 8th in a class F at Lignieres over 2775m on 13 July. Remains barefoot and must be respected in this line-up
  3. JOLIE MOME CHIC – Third in a class F at this track over 2675m on 17 August. Leading chance and can come out on top in this category
  4. IAKA – Third in a class G at this track over 2600m on 17 August. Finished off the latest well and is in with a decent shout
  5. IZZIA HIGHLAND – Disqualified in a class G at this track over 2600m on 17 August. Has a shoeing arrangement change and needs to find a few lengths
  6. HORIZON DU GERS – Unplaced in a class F at this track over 2675m on 17 August. Lighter in the shoeing arrangement. Others are preferred
  7. HELLINE SERVINOISE – A runner-up in a class G at this track over 2000m on 19 August. Seldom let’s the side down when applied and warrants attention
  8. INDIGO – Fourth in a class H at Aix-les-Bains over 2000m on 5 August. Can play a minor role at the finish if at best
    Summary: JOLIE MOME CHIC (3) has been very consistent of late. Her last two runs at this track have been good, and she could take out this opening event. IAKA (4) has improved at this track recently and should be a threat. HELLINE SERVINOISE (7) is on a long losing streak but could go one better this time. JOLIE GRAVURE (2) is capable of improvement and could make the frame if showing her best form.

LACKING SPIRIT (4) faltered with a fault at this track but was in good form before that and can be a lively danger. LEXKI DU GERS (2) faulted at Saint-Galmier but is talented and would not be a surprise winner. LOST (7) needed his last run and could be competitive.

ILLUSTRATION ECLAT (6) is not reliable but has won under the saddle and could contest the finish. JOYAU DE SOYORA (4) is very hard to trust but can make the frame when in the right mood.

    Summary: JAGUAR’S EYES (3) has been very consistent of late and could be rewarded with a winning turn in a competitive race. He does like this track. JOHN DOE (10) is unbeaten in four starts at this track and must be highly respected for that. INTREPIDE TURGOT (1) was very consistent in Italy and can be involved at the finish.

  67. KANDIE D’ORCO – Only modest of late and finished 9th in class F at Feurs over 2850m on 21 June. Has a place chance on best form
    Summary: KNITULIA (10) has not been consistent this year but hinted at another win when runner-up at Langon three weeks ago. She could score for Alexandre Abrivard. KAPITAN D’HERIPRE (7) is more reliable than that rival and looks a threat. KRIS MARTIN (6) has had a couple of recent disqualifications but is quite capable of winning when wise. KALIKA DU RIS (3) is another unreliable runner who could shine on her day.

    Summary: HUDO DU RUEL (10) has been in very good form for most of the year. His last-start disqualification can be overlooked, and the gelding gets the vote to score. ISTER MAN (9) has not won this year but is always knocking at the door and would not be a surprise winner. JANE AIMEE (4) is talented but does have disqualification issues. MATEO DI QUATTRO (3) is better than his last run suggests and can get right in the mix.

  1. BAGAZ – Ran 2nd in a Maiden over 3000m at Dieppe on 4 August. He put up a good race against a highly rated filly so should not be underestimated
  2. KANDO – Ran 4th in a Handicap over 3000m at Dieppe on 31 July. Judged on his third place in a Maiden on 9 July, he must have a winning chance
  3. LE CONQUERANT – Ran 3rd in a Maiden over 2450m at Mont-De-Marsan on 16 July. He has a strong finish and should be suited to the longer distance
  4. GURVAN – Finished 3rd in a Maiden at Dieppe on 22 July. Faces stronger this time and tries the trip for the first time
  5. EMERALD ISLAND – Ran 2nd in a Maiden over 2200m at Dieppe on 22 July. Will need to show more in this company but could place
  6. MOON SEA – Finished 4th in a Maiden over 2400m at Vichy on 18 July. Another who will need to prove himself over this sort of distance
  7. FILLE DU HAVRE – Ran 2nd in a Maiden over 2700m at Le Touquet on 27 July. Having finished in the top three in all of her starts, this Francis-Henri Graffard inmate will be strongly fancied
  8. SIYOULA – Ran 6th in an event for unraced horses over 2400m at this course on 6 August. Should improve on that debut run so respect
  9. AUSMAS FAL – An unraced 3yo colt by Australia out of Quality Road mare Masaaqaat trained by Gavin Hernon. Mare has only had one previous runner who has two 2 places from 8 starts
    Summary: There is no doubt about the staying ability of FILLE DU HAVRE (7). Barring any incident, she should once again fight it out for top honours. Although still immature, LE CONQUERANT (3) should improve with each race. Much talked about recently, KANDO (2) also seems capable of winning a race like this. BAGAZ (1) has just made an excellent debut in the stayers’ ranks among so he could surprise.

  10. GWO KA – Won a Claimer over 2500m at Deauville on 12 August. A recent winner of a similar event, he will be looking to reward his new conenctions
  11. BLACK BOSS – Ran 2nd in a Maiden over 2400m at Vichy on 7 August. Very consistent in Conditions races and Handicaps, he can open his account at this lower level
  12. LE ROI LEON – Ran 3rd in a Conditions race over 2400m at Vichy on 13 August. After his last run he will be looking to notch up a first win in a Claimer
  13. ETREHAM – Ran 2nd in a Claimer over 1900m at Deauville on 7 August. A model of consistency, he will take advantage of the increased distance to try and reverse the form with SILVER TOWER (5)
  14. SILVER TOWER – Won a Claimer over 1900m at Deauville on 7 August. She tries further this time but does have three impressive wins under her belt
  15. ARNAGA – Finished 4th in a Claimer over 1900m at Deauville on 7 August. She looked good last time and it will be intersting to see how she performs over further
  16. NUNUKA – Won a Claimer over 2000m at Vichy on 25 July. She has been in good form but will have to up her game in this field
  17. BARBIYA – Finished 6th in a conditions race for first-timers over 2400m at this course on 2 July. Could improve on that debut run
  18. JESSE GREY – Finished 11th in a Claimer over 2500m at Deauville on 12 August. Recent form does not give much encouragement
  19. SPANGLED STAR – Won a Handicap over this course and distance on 6 August and although taking on stronger opposition, could place
    Summary: SILVER TOWER (5) has won three of her last five races and is in good form, but she needs to prove she will handle the extra distance. ETREHAM (4), however, meets her under more favourable weight conditions and will try to reverse their last form line. GWO KA (1) comes off a good run on the sand, but is just as effective on grass. On his best form LE ROI LEON (3) would have a say against a field of this nature.

  21. ACOTANGO – Ran 14th in a Handicap over 2400m at Dieppe on 4 August. Although outclassed in a Quinté+ last time, he was an easy winner of his previous start in similar company at Compiègne
  22. GALEGO STAR – Ran 3rd in a Claimer over 2400m at Compiègne on 24 July. He has just changed trainers, and now with Cristian Demuro could contest the finish
  23. CALYPSO KING – Ran 5th in a Hurdles race over 3600m at this course on 16 July. Having failed over jumps, he will be partnered with Maxime Guyon for his return to the flat. Could provide good value
  24. MORSAN – Finished 9th in a Claimer over 2400m at Compiègne on 28 March. Coming back from a break and will need to show more
  25. KAR VERT – Ran 4th in a Claimer over 2400m at Compiègne on 25 July. That was a decent comeback run but the ground may not be soft enough for his needs
  26. LEPARD – Finished 9th in a Claimer over 1900m at Deauville on 12 August. Not in the best of form and is suspect over the distance
  27. LIGHTNING BOLT – Finished 10th in a Qualifying Handicap over 2400m at Chantilly on 20 July. Not in the best of form and is best ignored
  28. KINGDOM – Finished 9th in a Handicap over 3100m at Saint-Cloud on 1 May. Comes back from a break and will need to improve to feature
  29. CENTRICAL – Ran 3rd in a Handicap ovet 2400m at La Teste on 5 August. Drops in class so this looks an ideal opportunity for him, especially with Warren Levesque in the irons
    Summary: CENTRICAL (10) has raced against a lot stronger and finds himself with a very favourable entry. However, the opposition is decent, headed up by ACOTANGO (2), an easy winner of his last attempt at this level. After a dry spell, GALEGO STAR (3) has shown some of his old spark and is in to confirm his well-being. I’M A BELIEVER (1) is capable of winning if the race comes down to a sprint.

  33. LION KIRIKOU – Ran 4th in a Listed Steeplechase over 4400m at Dieppe 28 June. He didn’t run badly in his one run on the Flat. Given his trainer’s form, one should be wary of him
  34. CONQUER ALL – Finished 7th in a Claimer over 2400m at Compiegne on 24 July. Current form is poor and will need to do more

  37. LOULOU BERE – Finished 6th in a Hurdle over 3600m at Senonnes on 12 April. This is first run on the Flat for a year and he needs to prove himself
  38. BLUE TIKI – Finished 9th in a Conditions race over 1900m at Deauville on 7 August. Will need to make marked improvement on her debut effort
  39. LADY DI LA COLMINE – Finished 9th in a Condtions race over 2400m at Vittel on 25 July. That was a poor debut and much more will be needed

  43. GLORI LEADER – Unraced 3yo colt by Australia out of Champs Elysees mare Glorifcation. Only mare’s second foal
  44. KHAL TYRON – Pulled up in a Hurdle Handicap over 3600m at Auteuil on 23 March. A good level horse over jumps, he will appeal to outsider enthusiasts on his Flat debut
    Summary: PROMETHEAN (7) had shown some ability as a 2-year-old in France before earning his living across the Channel. He is returning in the hope of finally opening his account. Timing will be the key for QUESTURA (12) as she attempts to finally pick up a win following two promising runner-up spots. PAGAN SUN (2) and INSPIRADO (3) are both honest horses who will be looking to find any flaws in the performances of the first two selections.

  51. UTXA – Placed in maiden races and two Class 3 races. 3rd on the latest start over 1600m at Vittel in a maiden race on July 20th. Player
  52. LAKE DREAM – Placed on her last two runs, 2nd on the most recent over 1400m in a claimer at Le Lion D’Angers on August 14th. Hard to rule out of the top three
  53. MIA FAST – Unplaced on both starts, the latter over 1600m at Saint-Malo on July 24th in a maiden race. Opposable
  54. SCHIZZO – 8th on her debut at La Teste on June 28th in a newcomers race over 1400m. She should improve and has outside place claims
  55. DANICA – Two unplaced efforts, the latter over 1400m at Vichy in a maiden on July 15th. She can improve, and the drop in class is a positive
    Summary: MON POTE LEO (1) opened his account in a 1600m maiden at La Teste 17 days ago and is fancied to follow up. UTXA (7) rates the main danger, having shown consistent placed form in maidens, including a third over 1600m at Vittel in late July. DANICA (11) has hinted at ability in stronger company and may find improvement now dropped into a claimer. LAKE DREAM (8), placed on her last two starts, also warrants respect.

  57. SAGE DREAM – 9th on the one starts this year over 1600m at Vittel on August 3rd. Might find this difficult
  58. LE RAPIDE – Better run to be 3rd at Dusseldorf (DEU) over 1700m on August 3rd when last seen. Place contender
  59. TERRA MADRE – Fair 5th over 2000m in a Class 3 handicap on her last outing on July 29th. Can make the top three
  60. SAINT FIACRE – Recent win over 1600m at Vittel in a Class 4 race on August 3rd. He won by 3L last time and looks like the each-way must
  61. BAKHCHISARAY – 4th at Le Touquet over 2100m in a Class 4 handicap on August 17th when last racing. Ought to be in the shake-up
  62. MONTGAUDRY – Three unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 1800m at Fontainebleau on April 12th in a Class 3 handicap. Capable of a bold show, having dropped in the weights
  63. DSCHINGIS ARROW – Three unplaced runs of late, 7th at Saint-Malo over 2500m on August 1st on his last run. Needs more to be in the frame
  64. LILY OFTHE KINGDON – Has been out of form recently, finished in the rear over 1900m in a Class 3 handicap at Deauville on the latest outing on August 5th. Little to recommend her
  65. ALAMSAR – 5th at Deauville over 1900m in a Class 4 handicap on the last run on August 10th. Among the leading chances
  66. PETERHOF – Four unplaced runs this year, the most recent over 1600m at Vittel on August 3rd in a Class 4 race. Others rate higher
  67. MASSA CHOP – Two unplaced runs since a win at Dax over 2300m in a Class 4 handicap on July 2nd. Needs to be more consistent
  68. MEARAS STYLE – 5th last time, 3rd before that over 2000m at Compiegne on July 29th in a Class 4 handicap. One to keep safe
  69. FLAME D’AMOUR – Several unplaced runs of late, well beaten over 1900m at Deauville on August 10th in a Class 4 handicap. Looks vulnerable
  70. SUBLIME CHOPE – Three unplaced efforts of late, 12th in a handicap at this track over 2400m on the last run on August 6th. Hard to fancy
    Summary: MONTGAUDRY (7) is racing off quite an attractive handicap rating, and if emulating his third-place effort in the Spring at Fontainebleau, he can get off the mark. ALAMSAR (10) does pose a threat. He ran a credible race when fifth at Deauville in a Class 4 handicap earlier this month on his last start. TERRA MADRE (4) shaped well to be fifth at Compiegne late in July and is better than his form figures. BAKHCHISARAY (6) makes up the shortlist.

  72. ARCUBIATU – Two 5th placed efforts of late, the most recent over 1800m at this track on August 2nd in a Class 3 handicap. Can get back to winning form
  73. INATTENDU – 6th on the last run over 1600m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on July 26th. Has dropped in the rating and a better run is anticipated
  74. ELKABIER – Showed more when 4th at Dieppe over 1800m in a Class 4 race on August 4th after a few unplaced efforts previously. One to pay attention to
  75. BONNIE ELIZABETH – Unplaced last time, 2nd previously over 1850m in a Class 4 claimer at Vichy on July 17th. Merits consideration
  76. AFRICAN GREY – Has been out of form, made no show over 1800m in a Class 4 handicap at La Teste on August 5th. Best watched for now
  77. APOLLON – Ran well to be 2nd over 1600m at Deauville on August 17th in a Class 3 handicap. Can be competitive

  79. BLUFF – Several placed efforts have been made lately, including 2nd in the latest over 2000m at Vichy on July 30th in a Class 4 handicap. Hard to rule out of the top four
  80. DZARINA – 8th on the one run this year over 1500m at Deauville on January 4th in a Class 4 race. Makes very little appeal
  81. MIA GRANDE – Four unplaced runs of late, well held over 1500m at Deauville on August 12th in a Class 3 handicap when last seen. Pass over
  82. ORANGE VIF – 5th last time out, 4th before that over 1600m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on July 26th. He can make his presence felt
  83. BEST SHALAA – Several unplaced runs of late, 13th at Deauville in a Class 3 handicap on August 17th. Others seem more likely to score
  84. SHANNA ROSE – 5th on her last run over 1600m at this track on July 26th in a Class 3 handicap. Unlikely to threaten some of these
  85. TOPINAMBUR – Two placed efforts of late, 3rd at Vichy on August 4th over 1600m in a Class 4 handicap. Can make the frame at nice odds
    Summary: ARCUBIATU (2) could be the answer to this open handicap. His last two starts when fifth were reasonably good efforts. He is the tentative choice ahead of BLUFF (9), who has a good racing weight and has shown consistency recently with several placed runs. ELKABIER (4) can make the top three after a better effort shown when fourth at Dieppe earlier this month on the latest start. APOLLON (7) is also worth a mention.

  90. MARHARRY – Unplaced on both starts this year, most recently in a Class 2 handicap over 1600m at Deauville on July 6th, but should strip fitter for those runs and can be involved.

  94. NOLITO – Two 4th placed runs of late, the most recent over 1600m at La Teste on August 11th in a Class 3 handicap. Outside place chance
  95. PRINCESSE SAPHIR – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1800m in a claimer at Compiegne on July 21st in a claiming event. Unlikely to trouble the leading lights
  96. STARS AND AWAY – Three unplaced runs of late, 4th before that at Chantilly on February 14th in a Class 3 handicap. Handles most surfaces and is one to keep safe
    Summary: SWIFT FLIGHT (7) takes a drop in class and shaped with encouragement when sixth in stronger company at Compiègne. This Class 4 assignment may prove the key to success. STARS AND AWAY (11) has been a touch frustrating of late, but retains the ability to pose a serious threat if putting it all together. MARHARRY (5) should strip fitter for a couple of runs this season and looks capable of making the top three. DROIT DE PAROLE (6) is another to consider for minor honours.

KELRAPIDE DU LUPIN (8) bounced back to form and looks a serious threat he can build up on the last success. KIWI DE CHINE (4) has already won twice, is barefoot, and looks ready to strike again. KANGOO DU CANTER (11) can in the thick of things.

IGRISONI (12) has won his last two starts and is chasing a hat-trick. HAIKIDO (15) is unreliable and has disqualification issues but could go well for Matthieu Abrivard.
