MY LOVE D ATHOM – Two good efforts on the flat, a win on debut ay Le Mans in September and a 2nd at Angers on the latest over 3000m on February 12th. Hurdling debut and he can make his presence felt
MY BEL DU LION – Unraced gelding by Non Rien De Rien, the dam won 3 races over jumps. Should improve for this run unless the betting speaks volumes
MAGICIEN D’OR – Finished 5th over 2600m in a Gr1 AQ race at Fontainebleau on November 22nd. Tries hurdles and he warrants consideration
MERCI ROYAL – Finished 5th over 3000m at Angers on the flat on February 12th. Hurdling bow and can have a say in proceedings
MANQUE DE RIEN – Unraced gelding by Robin Of Navan, the dam won 1 race over hurdles. Stable runners are respected on debut and he is worth a market check
M’SIEURS DAMES – Two placed runs on the flat, the latter over 2400m at Moulins on December 13th. Tries hurdles and can make the frame
MARIACHI – Won by 5 lengths on debut over 2300m at Le Mans on the flat on November 17th. Hurdling pedigree and is hard to ignore
MANGO CAY – Unraced gelding by Free Eagle, the dam won 3 races over jumps. Likely to need this run and is best watched for now
M’AS TU VU LORD – Unraced gelding by Cokoriko, the dam won 9 races on the flat and over jumps. From a leading stable that does well with newcomers. Worth watching in the betting for clues
MUTIN D’AIRY – Unraced gelding by Motivator, the dam never ran. Nice profile and he is one to watch in the betting for clues
Summary: MY LOVE D ATHOM (1) showed plenty of talent on the flat with a win on debut at Le Mans and a solid effort to be second at Angers in mid-February on his second start. He will be well-schooled and can make a winning hurdling debut. MARIACHI (7) could be the one that gives the selection the most to think about. He won on the flat at Le Mans in November by five lengths. MAGICIEN D’OR (3) has shown talent on the flat and can be involved, as can MERCI ROYAL (4), who heads the remainder.

MON MARCEL (5) won nicely on his sole start over course and distance in October last year over hurdles and looks like a nice prospect. AZOTE (2) is another to consider.

KALINE DES BOULLAT – Won on her last start over 3600m at this track in a Listed hurdle on February 14th by a narrow margin. Outside place place claims
JOUR POLAIRE – Three unplaced runs this year, the most recent over 2700m in a Class 3 handicap hurdle at Chantilly. Inconsistent and others preferred

AULKO – Two unplaced efforts since a win over 3600m in a handicap hurdle on October 12th. Has risen in the weights and needs respite from the handicapper
DIXAN SENORA – Finished 5th last time, a win before that over 4000m in a handicap hurdle at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on January 6th. Capable of having a say
J’AI LA COTE – Two solid efforts of late, 3rd on the most recent over 4100m at Angers on February 12th in a Class 3 hurdle. Merits consideration
RAFFLES LIAISON – Unplaced last time, a win before that over 3800m at Pau in a handicap hurdle on January 28th. Might find a few too smart

Summary: SHAENJET (6) ran well enough in a Listed hurdle at this track in mid-February when sixth and is the tentative selection in this competitive event. His main danger could be KANDALIUS (11), who was ahead in fourth in the same race in February over 3600m. The extra distance today could sway the balance in the former’s favour. TALK SHOW (12) is versatile distance wise and performed well when second at this track in a handicap hurdle last time out. LOU FAST (2) can be forgiven his last start and can be on the premises. LOQUAS (1) heads the rest.

Summary: NADOR (1) has won his last three starts, all at this track. The most recent in the Prix Congress Chase (Grade 2) on November 15th over slightly further. He likes to be ridden prominently and looks hard to oppose. His likely main threat could be DUC DE ROCHE (2), who won easily by 30 lengths over 3600m in a Listed chase and was second behind the selection in November in the Prix Congress (Grade 2). KOFFI KOMET (3) and INLANDSIS (5) can dual for minor honours.

MENTION BIEN (4) is also worth a mention.

Summary: KILOMETRE ILLIMITE (1) won well on his last start in the GSC Masters-Prix Robert De Clermont- Tonnerre Chase (Grade 3) in mid February by ten lengths. He is capable of confirming form with CROWN DU BERLAIS (3) who was second in the same race. He meets on better weight terms today ( 2 kilos) and can make this interesting. KENTUCKY WOOD (5) was back in fourth and is another to consider, as he will be sharper for that run.

He is a previous course and distance winner in April 2024 over hurdles. JARDIN SECRET (7) has dropped in the handicap and is worth considering each-way.

He is worth a worth a good look in on his first run in this code. Winner of this race in 2024, HEMEVOICI (6) made a winning return to action at Pau on the 18th of January and has been kept fresh for this.

Summary: MAHASEN (8) is a lot better than her latest performance when meeting winners and holds a strong winning chance back against maidens now. RACING GREEN (5) raced against some better quality rivals last time out and in this contest, he should have every chance of getting that maiden win out the way. LAMIRAL DARHAAN (2) is another who met winners and will be competitive in this company. LAVIS (4) gets valuable weight off the back and should produce an improved run.

HAKA – Failed to finish over 3500m at Toulouse in a Class 3 hurdles event on the 17th of February 2026. Back on the flat and more is needed
SIR MORIARTY – No show in 12th over 2700m at Chantilly in a maiden on the 13th of February 2026. Has poor form and will battle in this
CHERY CHARGE – Lackluster performance in 9th over 2400m at Lyon La Soie in a maiden on the 24th of February 2026. Will be a shock winner

MODUS VIVENDI – Dam was a one time winner over 2600m and this filly should be effective over this extended trip on debut. Each way chance
BLACK DU MORVAN – Dam won twice over 1000m/1400m and this filly could well know the business first up. Trainer can ready them up on debut
LOVEROSE – Dam failed to do anything after three runs and this filly won’t need to be anything special to make her presence felt. Include in the play
MILADY PRESTIGE – Dam failed to do anything and this filly doesn’t make much appeal on debut. Others are more persuasive in this event
HAKAMAORI – Dam won once over 2150m and this filly is the first foal. Trainer is yet to have a winner this year but this filly could be ready on debut
ISI DORA – Dam was unraced and the only sibling to compare her to didn’t do much after five runs. This newcomer has some fair blood on the stallion side and could be involved
Summary: In a race that won’t take a lot of winning, it is the first timers who could well dominate. BLACK DU MORVAN (9) makes obvious appeal on paper and is likely to be the most ready on debut. She tackles this trip which could suit and she warrants respect. HAKAMAORI (12) comes from a staying family and will no doubt relish this trip first up. She can challenge strongly. ISI DORA (13) and LOVEROSE (10) both won’t need to be stars to make their presence felt and are worth considering.

MA GANNAT – Sweet 2nd in a Condition race over 2400m at Lion D’Angers 8th of June 2025. Returns after a lengthy break but can threaten
Summary: MATCHA DE L’ISLE (11) is inching closer to the winners enclosure and brings strong form with her into this contest. She has every chance in getting the job done here. NYSTERE DE REPAS (1) delivered a cracking second last time out and could potentially break the maiden shackles off his hooves this time. MEMEPAPEUR (3) is another that is in fine fettle and if the top two fluff their lines, he could take full advantage. MA GANNAT (14) makes her comeback after nine months and if freshened up, she could be lethal at the firing line.

MASTER LIGHT – Inconsistent 7th in a Class 4 Conditional over 2900m at Cavaillon on the 1st of March 2026. Erratic on current form
TEPITO – Well-tried running into 5th in a Conditional over 2400m at Lyon La Soie on the 24th of February 2026. Others preferred

GENEBRIO – Hard trying 7th in a maiden over 2900m at Amiens on the 10th of November 2025. Returns after 4 months and could strip fitter now

MYRIADE MAG – Forgivable last run finishing 13th in a Class 3 Handicap over 2500m at Deauville on the 2nd of January 2026. Jumps back into a more competitive frame
MISS MENJO – Supplemented Miss Menjo finished 9th in a Class 4 Conditional over 2300m at Durtal on the 1st of February 2026. Others seem more intriguing
MY LINK – Difficult 8th in a Class 3 Conditional over 2950m at Machecoul on the 10th of February 2026. Top choices more attractive
OVER DREAM – Tough form when going amiss over the hurdles over 3500m at Toulouse on the 1st of March 2026. One to respectfully pass by
Summary: MYRIADE MAG (8) can be forgiven when taking on a Strong Class 3 Handicap last time out and steps back into a division where she can be highly competitive. MARACAMAYA (4) keeps knocking on the door and it would be no surprise if the winning doors open here. GENEBRIO (6) returns after a four-month break and could strip fitter this time around. D’ALLURE (1) is in threatening form after running a smart second and could spook up this field.

SPIRIT – Dam won once over 4300m in a chase and this newcomer will need to be special to he is to challenge here. Others make more appeal
Summary: THE WORKAHOLIC (4) met far stronger rivals last time and it showed by him finishing downfield. He will be more comfortable in this grade and should produce a strong finish. LOVELY DINO (2) has found one too good at his last two but bumps into the right type of opposition to land the spoils. LA P’TITE HISTOIRE (5) finished off 2025 in winning form and now returns of a layoff for her seasonal reappearance. She has untapped potential and will be a major threat. LOYD D’ERABLE (3) is far better than his latest effort and on his best form, he should be up to the plate in this.

Summary: NE CRAINS RIEN (6) is out of a four-time winning mare and makes her grand appearance in this small field where she could make it a sparkling debut performance. NAKAFLY D’ECHIEGEY (4) does not strike much confidence on pedigree but could be absolutely anything on her introduction to racing.

Summary: A competitive looking race. NIKI DU GOUTIER (6) is improving and gets a narrow vote to score. He did fluff his lines with a disqualification on debut, though. NATIF DES CAILLONS (9) continues to shine brightly and may have more wins in the tank. NEUVAINE (5) has done well so far so should be very competitive once again. NO RISK FLIGNY (8) has been unlucky not to win recently and should be right there at the finish yet again.

Summary: A very open looking race and only a very few of them can safely be ruled out from winning. LITCHI CASTELETS (11) will come on from his first run back from a break and can score. LA RIVER D’ECCAM (7) has been good of late with some nice wins and she will not go down easily. LASTRONAUT DANOVER (8) has a good record on right-handed tracks and can be competitive once again. LOOK QALI (13) is hat-trick seeking and clearly not out of it.

Summary: A tricky race. KISS ME DU LIVET (11) gets the vote to score baded off a good recent performance at Vincennes. KAPTA JELOCA (10) has won her last two starts at this track and remains at the top of her game so must be respected for that.

C1 – PRIX SERGE CHARLES – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 30,000

ILUCE DE BEAUCAMPS – Has won 3 of 5 this term, latterly an Auch Class E 2 weeks ago. Forced to start on the inside but still looks a serious player
IDEAL DU BOUILLON – Sports a new configuration for first goal of the year. Has never excelled here though and is unlikely to start now
IMPERIAL MARANDAIS – Should not be too hastily-condemned for recent Lyon-La Soie clinker. Has otherwise been acquitting himself well and returns to racing left-handed with the expectation of showing improvement
IMPACT SPORT – Never far from losing his action but has nothing to prove at this level. Appreciates Le Croise-Laroche, and from the 4-slot can make a big impact
JACINTHE DU BOIRON – Won a Vincennes Class E in January, passing her left-handed test, before coming 3rd in a Saint-Brieuc Class E in early-February. Should take well to the new profile and can make this her own
IDEFIX DES LANDES – Has placed just once in 6 starts over the winter. Is new to the venue and unlikely to create an upset
JOYCE ANGOT – Hardy mare that ran 2nd in both starts at the venue. Has a race under her belt, will be barefoot this time, and should be good enough to finish close
JOB DU PERSIL – Ran fine 4th in a competitive 2100m Vincennes Class E on 20 February and despite the draw still looks capable of playing an active role
IVO SIVED – Has produced results just twice in 11 starts here and is not about to shake things up on first start since November
IMPACT DE L’ITON – Moderate trotter making first appearance since last October. Has little liking for Le Croise-Laroche and will have few friends
JOCKEY – Faces first objective of the season after a much-needed re-entry run at Graignes a fortnight ago. Is undefeated in 2 starts here and even though having pulled a tough number, should not be underestimated
JERONIMO DU CAUX – Had been on a fine run of form during the autumn, including placing at Le Croise-Laroche, but subsequently went off the boil and failed to deliver here last Monday
Summary: Nicely-placed on the front line, and very hard to fault this winter, JACINTHE DU BOIRON (5) will be expected to make her debut here a winning one. She will be opposed though by the tricky but useful IMPACT SPORT (4) who is also well-positioned, but more importantly, is reunited with Thibaut Dromigny who won with him in November. Like a horse reborn over the winter, ILUCE DE BEAUCAMPS (1) is very easy to like for a place in the frame. JOB DU PERSIL (8) held his own in a Vincennes Quinté+ last time out and, in similar form can repeat.

CERTAINLY (SWE) – Ran 3rd at Vincennes in late-December but has failed to impress in 2 since. Hind shoes back on but others still easier to back
JASMIN DU VALLON – Fine servant when focused and barefoot. Has just the one run under his belt and stays shod. Minor place chance at best
MATEO DI QUATTRO – Made up for 15 February blip when 4th in a 2100m Vincennes Class D 10 days later. Is new to the venue but should appreciate the profile and is unlikely to return home empty-handed
IMPERIAL DURABUTIN – Fine campaigner that has won 3 of last 5 starts here. Impressive here before the break and, in race-mode for the occasion, can get straight back down to business
HORS BORD – Serious trotter with excellent references here. Is plainly in competition-mode and from the front row could yet get his nose in front
FEEL GOOD DESBOIS – Handy veteran making first appearance since last September. Has never disappointed here but has not raced at the venue since imposing in 2019, and is going to need the run
HABIT DE SOIREE – Surprise 3rd in a Vincennes Class B on 13 February but failed to confirm 2 weeks later. 4 pads fitted this time and not a concern
HAMILTON DU HAM – Eliminated in 2 after running 2nd, at 35-1, in a Vincennes Class B on New Year’s Eve. Shoes on this time and poses no danger
TOTO BAROSSO – Made a good re-entry in Mons on 17 February, and ran 2nd on sole run here. Forced to start on back line but is still worth monitoring
IBISCUS MAN – 7th, a place behind HAPPY DANICA (12), in a 2100m Vincennes Class A a month ago. Sports pads this time but in this company should not disappoint
HAPPY DANICA – Twice a winner and runner-up once in 5 starts here. Faces a less arduous task than she did in Gr.1 Prix de Paris and has a decent chance of trotting her way onto the podium
JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL – Takes a notable dip in class after running 10th of 12 when being conditioned in Gr.1 Prix de Paris a fortnight ago. Is confirmed under these conditions and has a reasonable chance of winning this
Summary: He may not always be the easiest of horses to gauge but IMPERIAL DURABUTIN (5) flew up here before the winter break and, barefoot with the benefit of a return run in him, starts in front and has a realistic chance of confirming. JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (13) has failed to make the grade in exalted company over the winter but ran 2nd in a Gr.3 here last May and, even from the back line, looks considerably more dangerous this time. HAPPY DANICA (12) finished behind her in the Gr.1 Prix de Paris and also incurs the penalty, but has a particular liking for Le Croise-Laroche and must be taken seriously. 25m better off and consistently in the mix, HORS BORD (6) is barefoot for his first target of the year and will be no soft touch.

C3 – PRIX CYRIL VINSARD – 2825m (a2m) – Class F – Harness – EUR € 21,000
KOQUETTE LIRE – Modest mare that seldom makes her presence felt and is not about to disrupt the status quo
JAVA DES TIGARDS – Has been disappointing on the whole since late last summer and even though barefoot this time, can still expect to have few takers
JULIE DU NORD – Complicated mare that ran 3rd last time here but has not raced since early-December and is going to need the outing
KATHLEEN DU NORD – Looked ordinary on comeback behind KAABA RINGEAT (7) here 12 days ago. Starts in front but still has nothing to contribute
KALYPSO DU CAUX – No slouch on a good day but tends to show more under the saddle these days and is unlikely to spice things up
KARA DU VAUTOUR – Previously useful but went off the boil in 2025 and her recent re-entry run did little to inspire confidence
KAABA RINGEAT – Never far from losing her action but showed her form in a 2700m Class F here on 23 February, her first start for 2 months. Benefits from an excellent entry and is easy to like for the win
JELINA DES RACQUES – Returned from her break with a pair of lacklustre performances in the amateur division and chances seem slim
JINA D’ERPION – Hardy sort that has never disappointed here. Will have been specifically prepared for this and, barefoot for the occasion, can make a big impact
JAZZY MAKER – Previously a good sort but went into her layoff on a low note and is unlikely to make much impact on first start back
JESSIE LAKE – Gave a pleasant account on comeback when 3rd in a 2400m Amiens Class F a fortnight ago. Incurs the penalty here though and others easier to back
KELOWA STARDUST – Produced a fine performance at Vincennes prior to flopping in a Cagnes Class E on 10 February. Has no references here but is confirmed in this category and should be good enough to make first 5
JALISCA FLIGNY – Honest mare that seldom gets her nose in front but always gives her best. Ran 3rd in a Graignes Class E on re-entry, will have come on for the race, and can finish in the mix
JALAYA DES BROUETS – Faces first objective of the year following a brace of conditioners. Is barefoot this time, won her only race here, and warrants respect
JALENZA DU BOCAGE – Not the most performant of horses but ran 5th, a place behind JESSIE LAKE (11), in a 2400m Amiens Class F a fortnight ago. Is nicely-entered here and even though Marc Sassier’s second-string, still has the wherewithal to pick up some prizemoney
KATINKA GEMA – Good, consistent mare that made a good return to competition at Cagnes-sur-Mer last week when 3rd in a Class D. Ran 2nd on sole start here, thrives with Alan Gendrot, and is unlikely to disappoint
Summary: The second row here is teeming with talent but KAABA RINGEAT (7) is nicely-engaged on the front line, gave a good account here recently, and looks the pick of the field. Even though 25m worse off and with just the one race in her since the autumn, JINA D’ERPION (9) appreciates the venue and will be barefoot for the occasion. Terrifically-engaged here and clearly close to her race, KATINKA GEMA (16) may be sporting pads this time but still looks competitive. Surprisingly good on her Graignes comeback, JALISCA FLIGNY (13) goes barefoot at a track she likes and can figure prominently.

LIPINSKA – Struggled to make any impression before being sent for a rest almost 3 months ago and can be confidently disregarded
LUTECE PLANCHETTE – Unremarkable mare that has yet to convince since returning from her break and will have few friends in the markets
LARAFALE PASMARICK – Faithful mare going barefoot for the first time at Le Croise-Laroche. Finished close behind LUDMILLA HAUFOR (8) on re-entry at Amiens 2 weeks ago, and from the 3-slot will have every chance of making first 5
LOBELIE DE GODREL – Back in competition following a lengthy stint on the sidelines. Would, however, have better chances in the other code
LOVHELEN D’OR – Generous mare that has yet to put a foot wrong this year. Is plainly close to her race and, considering the draw, can impose for the first time since August 2024
LIBERTY JIEL – Tricky sort but is not devoid of ability. Is reunited with Franck Ouvrie who was the last driver to win with her, and benefits from a good draw. One to watch
LUNE ROSE D’ALESA – Won a Cagnes claimer on 25 January before being eliminated in a Laval Class E 10 days later and is unlikely to be troubling the judge
LUDMILLA HAUFOR – Back on the right trajectory after some lacklustre performances in Paris. Is new to Le Croise-Laroche but will appreciate its profile and looks competitively well in
L’ELITE DU CHOQUEL – As complicated as they get but clearly has nothing to prove at this level. Is barefoot after having been eliminated in the other code and, if applied, will have her chances
LUTECE RINGEAT – Quality element that has been plying her trade well at home in Mons. Goes barefoot for just the second time in France and can make a big splash if she successfully defies her number
LUTECE – Capable mare that has pleased here for the most part, but went into her break last August on a low note and will have nothing to contribute on her first start back
LINAYA DU CHATELET – Has raced just the once following an enforced absence. Hind shoes off for first start since October but is unlikely to spring any surprises
LA LUNA STAR – Raced little, and poorly, last season. Has made no impact this term and is not about to start now
LAZIE PONT VAUTIER – Back to racing barefoot after losing her action at Amiens a fortnight ago. Did beat LUTECE RINGEAT (10) at Reims though and, with application, should not be far off the mark
Summary: LOVHELEN D’OR (5) has taken her game up a notch since beginning to race barefoot and from the 5-slot looks thoroughly capable of imposing this time. Alexis Garandeau will still be mindful of a reinvigorated LUTECE RINGEAT (10) who will be barefoot for the first time here, and L’ELITE DU CHOQUEL (9) who should have the measure of most is she deigns to stay trotting. Barefoot this time, LAZIE PONT VAUTIER (14) should not be ignored.

MARINO PONT ROYAL – Disappointing on sole French start but has thrived since. Excellent winner in Mons on 17 February and at this level can bring home the bacon
MASTER KING – Ran 3rd, on re-entry, in a 2825m Class F here on 23 February. Will have progressed for the race and from the 2-slot should be competitive at the business end of the race
MODEL DE JOUX – Starts for the first time since coming 9th behind MERGINIO (8) in a Class E over course and distance in mid-December and will have nothing to bring to the party
MY WAY DE QUELETTE – Can prove a handful but has shown serious form lately. Goes barefoot for Le Croise-Laroche debut and will be expected to bring the fight to MARINO PONT ROYAL (1)
MORNING STAR – Returns to France after 2 straight eliminations in Mons. Has placed in just 1 of 3 starts here and is unlikely to upset the apple-cart
MAMBO DU VIVIER – Imposed under these conditions 12 months ago and placed again last autumn, but has not been seen out since December and is going to need the race
MURMURE – Made a fine comeback at Maquenchy last month before coming 2nd in a Reims Class F last Sunday. Takes on some better horses this time but in current condition is hard to ignore
MERGINIO – Has yet to lose his maiden tag but has come close more than once. Ran 4th in last 2 starts here and despite the draw can confirm
MONT LIGNERIES – Eliminated more often than not but has ample talent. Gets a 2nd crack at racing in his new configuration and Jeremy Koubiche will be mindful to keep him focused. Place chance
Summary: Four times a winner from 7 starts in his native Belgium, MARINO PONT ROYAL (1) returns to France after imposing smartly in Mons and the new profile should suit him down to the ground. Surprisingly disappointing behind him that day, MY WAY DE QUELETTE (4) redeemed himself at Cagnes just last week and will be no easy touch if he can keep his mind on the game. Surprising and unlucky on his debut at the venue 12 days ago, MASTER KING (2) races unshod-behind for the first time and will not be sent out at 53-1. MONT LIGNERIES (9) did not enjoy the best of fortunes on that occasion but will be competitively-shod for the first time and, with application, can get back in the game.

JIVRY – Out of the picture in both starts this year. Is not the trotter he once was and is unlikely to set off any fireworks
KAMIL VAN HALBEEK – Unshod for the first time in 2026, was quickly eliminated last time out but has never disappointed in the day’s configuration and can win this
IMPERIAL DE FORGAN – Went into last season’s layoff on a low note. Is barefoot for re-entry but still has nothing to offer
JOUR DE GLOIRE – Unexceptional sort that looked very ordinary at Laval last week, on first aim of the season, and would have better prospects if barefoot
KACEY BELL – Defied her odds to run 4th in a 2100m Vincennes Class D a month back and, if not a flash in the pan, can play a leading role
JOSY DES LANDES – Won 2 on the trot before losing her action in a Vincennes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Takes on some 6yo’s this time but starts in front and cannot be discounted
KEITHOS DU RHIN – Should not be too quickly-judged for failing to place in Paris 3 weeks ago. Returns to conditions he has shown a liking for and from the front row can give this a good go
JALBA DU FER – Capable on a good day but has not been seen out since 10 December and would be preferred competitively-shod
INES DES FORETS – Useful mare that alternates well between the 2 disciplines, but stays shod for return run and best to leave alone
KELOWNA LEGEND – Failed to make her mark in Paris but showed considerable improvement in a Nantes Class E a fortnight ago. Would have preferred a better draw but should still have the wherewithal to finish in the mix
KOCKTAIL WOOD – An absolute write-off since returning last season from a lengthy layoff and is not about to suddenly change his ways
HARLEY DE JANEIRO – Modest sort that seldom does anything but blot his copybook these days and can be confidently disregarded
IROKO DU NORD – Consistently-performant and is confirmed under these conditions. Is unraced since early-December, but will be barefoot, and should not be ruled out
KING MOKO – Dependable for the most part but was rather disappointing in Victoria Park last weekend and the draw only compounds matters
KRONO DU TRIO – Has pulled a rough number but has excelled since the autumn. Has yet to let the side down when barefoot and Gilles D’Haenens can be justifiably confident of a big run. Chance
Summary: Faces first real goal of 2026 after being prepared in Toulouse recently. Goes well for Leo Guenet, and the draw will do his prospects no disservice. Simply excellent since starting to race barefoot, KRONO DU TRIO (15) imposed here in November and most recently confirmed at Laval. He will have a tough draw to deal with but still looks marginally superior to KACEY BELL (5) who is better-positioned behind the car. Runner-up at Mauquenchy prior to taking on too much in Paris, KEITHOS DU RHIN (7) will be shod as he was when 2nd on his only start here and is easy to recommend.

NATIVE DE CRENNES – Set off no fireworks in qualification at Caen on 21 January. Is not a priority but cannot be discounted either
NEW GIRL MELOC – Qualified in 1’19’9 at Grosbois last summer. Takes on some better horses here and will have little to contribute
NOBLESSE DU CHENE – Well-related filly that qualified in 1’17’8 at Caen in October and if as good in competition will take all the beating
NUAGEE MARANCOURT – Left a good impression when qualifying in 1’18’6 at Caen 10 days ago. Her dam debuted victoriously and is not incapable of following suit
NATIVITY QUICK – Given time to come into herself after qualifying nicely last June. Was eliminated first time out but comes here fresh and, if applied, can get off the mark
NINA DU COJEUL – Looked ordinary in Grosbois qualification last October and looked similarly ordinary on debut in early-December. Has not been seen since and is unlikely to spring any surprises
NOVA DU FER – Has yet to show any particular aptitude for the game and even with Franck Ouvrie reining will struggle to make her presence felt
NUANCE DU HOULET – Gave a good account at Mauquenchy in late-January but failed to confirm 11 days ago. Is not in the most exalted of company and, if behaved, can finish close this time
Summary: Out of the excellent Comtesse Du Chene, and by some margin the fastest qualifier here, NOBLESSE DU CHENE (3) makes her career bow with every chance of making it a victorious one. That being said,
NATIVITY QUICK (5) hails from a yard going at full-steam and looks the main danger. The richest filly here with 850 Euros to her name, NUANCE DU HOULET (8) can figure prominently if applied.

IBLISS MAYBE – Faces first objective of the new year after 3 conditioners. Sports modified shoeing and from the 4-slot is unlikely to let the side down. Place prospect
HASHTAG DU LION – Unremarkable sort starting for first time since September and with shoes fitted can be confidently ruled out
IKA JOSSELYN – Oddly below-par in Mons last month but has otherwise been firing on all cylinders. Is confirmed at the venue and, in this class, should be able to wrap this up
JOY EASTER – Opened his amateur account in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class G on 21 January, beating ISIMONEY DU CHENE (8) and HE MISS DEIHA (3). Is unlikely to be as competitive this time but will not be available at 34-1 either
ISIMONEY DU CHENE – Has not had his day in the sun since securing a brace here in 2024. Reassured at Mauquenchy on 21 January though and this configuration may be just what the doctor ordered. First 5
HUGO FRATI – Serious sort in this category of race but has not been seen out since October and can be passed over
IT’S ME DIESCHOOT – Honest type with respectable amateur credentials but failed to confirm Wolvega success when trounced in Paris, and others preferred
JOURNAC DIESCHOOT – Tends to give a respectable account when focused but has placed just once in 4 starts here and the draw will do him no favours
Summary: Twice a winner here, including over course and distance…in 2022, IKA JOSSELYN (6) has been hard to fault over recent months and returns to France with justified ambition. Better-placed behind the car, HE MISS DEIHA (3) will be reconfigured following a pair of conditioners and, given how well she acquitted herself last time here, should prove a serious opponent. Also nicely-placed on the front line, IBLISS MAYBE (4) is competitively-shod for the first time since his return to the track and although having placed just once in 8 starts here, at this level he should not disappoint. Solid when barefoot in this category here, HECTOR DE CORDAY (1) is most certainly one for the shortlist.

KINGSLAND DE SIMM (7) looked good when scoring over this track and trip and can be a lively danger. KALENCIO FLAC (8) remains in good form and should be competitive.

Summary: KAMOUR (9) has a good recent record when barefoot and can follow up on a good last win. KING D’HERMES (3) ran better than the disqualification shows last time out at Nantes and could make amends. JELGA DU VIVIER (10) is very hard to trust and has many recent faults. She does, however, have the ability to score when staying in stride. JOLI MEC D’AMOUR (13) has won his last four races when racing without shoes and is barefoot and ready to strike.

JAZZ BUROIS (5) has an excellent recent strike rate when racing without shoes and can bounce back to score. JEWEL SMILE (3) faulted last time out at Toulouse but that run can safely be ignored and he is not out of it.

Summary: A very open looking race. LEKEVIN DESBOIS (8) has been consistent of late and gets a narrow vote to score. LANNISTER (7) remains in good form and has good form at this track so is sure to be a threat to these rivals. LATINO PURA VIDA (2) ran well over this course and distance last month but is not reliable. LIVE ON (10) faulted last time out at Marseille-Vivaux but is capable of contesting the finish when smart.

LHOCIEMA (8) clearly likes this course and is likely to be concerned with the finish once again. LADY FLO DE MAX (2) is barefoot for the very first time and is clearly not out of it. LELLAMIKA (11) remains in good form and is another that is capable of scoring.

Summary: A small field but a very good race. NASSANDRA (6) has won all three of her starts so far and has looked good doing so. She can add that unbeaten run to four. NOMAN’S POINT (3) scored over the short distance on debut and followed up with a course and distance win so is clearly talented and must be respected. NICE TO SEE YOU (7) has improved of late and can contest the finish. NALA DE SMARVES (5) might need to do a bit more to beat those rivals but can make the frame.
