Summary: LUMIERE DE BAILLE (8) has been progressing impressively and appears capable of extending her upward trajectory. LADY DRY (6) boasts a similarly progressive profile and rates as the principal threat to the selection. LUCRECE DE CORDAY (10) has the talent to play a leading role provided she remains faultless throughout. LISBETH DRY (3) commands respect if she can maintain her stride in the closing stages, while LIGNE BLANCHE (7)is expected to appreciate a return to her preferred discipline.

Among the fillies, the ultra-consistent NYASSA DAXEL (13) and NIKITA DU MOUTHIEU (2), who races with front shoes removed, have the ability to make their presence felt.

- MISTER MOUROTAIS – Successful last time out in Class E at Chartres over 2800m on 17 June. Not reliable but is capable of following up
Summary: This is a wide open contest. Partnered by a driver currently enjoying an excellent run of form, MALKO MESLOIS (4) could well get his head in front and is given a tentative vote. However, he faces plenty of challenges, notably with MISTER MOUROTAIS (13) who comes in the race on the back of a recent cosy success, MISTRAL POURPRIX (7) who is the pick of the lot for top-driver Éric Raffin, and MUST DE VILLARD (11), a sound winner of his comeback run.

Summary: LOVELY WILMA (7) produced an eye-catching late surge to finish a strong second earlier this month and, with a flawless record of never finishing worse than fourth at this venue, she makes plenty of appeal. LEADERBOARD (4) impressed with his performances at Vincennes during the spring and, having secured a favourable draw behind the car-start, is expected to bounce back from his latest disappointment. Gifted but not always straightforward, LINNA DE VANDEL (3) has the ability to fight out the minor honours. LUCIFER DU PONT (12), a previous Group 3 placegetter, appears to be returning to peak form. LADY BIRD JENILAT (5), who finished just behind the selection last time out, also holds sound claims.

Summary: I LOVE JOSSELYN (4) produced a devastating display over this course last time out and now benefits from the services of Éric Raffin. With everything looking very much in his favour, he stands out as the clear favourite. The main dangers appear to be IDOLE ELDE (5), who has thrived since teaming up with Mathieu Mottier, and the progressive HOLLYWOOD BOND (3), who arrives in excellent form. IDEFIX JIHEM (13) also commands respect despite the disadvantage of a draw on the second-row.

Summary: Back in action for the first time since his disqualification in the Elitloppet Final, INEXESS BLEU (11) has a few questions to answer on his return to competition. Nevertheless, he remains an exceptional horse and gets the vote as the one they all have to beat. The powerful six-year-old generation is ready to test him, headed by defending champion KOCTEL DU DAIN (10). KRACK TIME ATOUT (8) and KEEP GOING (7) are two other major players judged on their very best form.

Summary: MILTON DU NOYER (5) has maintained a flawless record this season and lines up with a new shoeing configuration for the first time. Given his current form, he deservedly earns the vote as the one to beat. That said, victory is far from a foregone conclusion, with the highly talented MELLOW SPEED (8) and MARINELLA VRIE (9) both capable of mounting a serious challenge. MILA DES COUPERIES (2) is well positioned to capitalize on any weakness among the principals and appeals as an intriguing candidate.

Summary: JOKER DE FROULAY (5) enjoyed an excellent spring campaign and is expected to make a bold bid following a short break. If resuming where he left off, he should play a leading role. However, IMELDA (9), who finished ahead of him when winning over this course in mid-April, has every chance of following up and looks his main rival. Among the remainder, HAIDA SAUTONNE (13), partnered by Benjamin Rochard, and INSTANT GRAVE (7), who arrives at the top of his game, have the credentials to make their presence felt in what promises to be a competitive affair.

- TAKERYA – Finished 6th in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud over 2,100m on 17 April 2026, and 3rd in a Class 2 before that in March. Merits consideration
- SUNDARA – Fourth in a Class 2 at Longchamp over 2,000m on 9 July 2026 and a win before that in a maiden in February. Has work to do to trouble the principles
Summary: SENEQUE (2) has more than enough talent to take a race of this nature. He has been consistent in Class 2 races on his last four starts and can be too smart for SWIFT MAGIC (3), who won his maiden in early May and acquitted himself well in a Class 2 race in late June on his latest start. BASHA (1) won with a good deal of authority in his maiden win at Aix Les Bains 18 days go and warrants respect stepping up in class.

- BERLINETTA – Finished 11th in a Class 4 Handicap at Salon-De-Provence over 2,400m on 17 June 2026, 5th before that over the same track and trip in May. In the mix
Summary: ZAMNESIA (4) looks to have solid claims after making a pleasing return to action at Aix-les-Bains when second. She is taken to score at the expense of last year’s winner, USER KINDLY (2), who has solid credentials and is seeking his tenth success. Judged on her penultimate performance, CAPMAN FAL (3) holds leading claims and should be on the premises . BERLINETTA (7) is another consider off a favourable position at the foot of the weights.

- NEVER LOST – Two placed runs of late in claiming races, 3rd on the latest over 2500m at Aix Les Bains on July 7. Ought to be in the shake-up
Summary: L’ABBAYE (3) finished runner-up in the Prix Policeman, a Class 1 race at Cagnes-sur-Mer in February, and has solid claims dropping in to a claimer for the first time. The main threat could be BABOSHKA (5), who won a maiden on debut in May and ran a credible race on her only other start earlier this month and has the advantage of the inside draw. NEVER LOST (8) stays well and can not be excluded after two recent placed efforts in this grade. ABRONZAL (2) makes up the shortlist.

Summary: This handicap for juveniles could go to BODY PHYSICAL (2), who has plenty of experience and will get plenty of assistance from Maxime Guyon on top. CALIDORA (7) could be well treated by the handicapper and has shown a nice amount of talent in her three starts and can be a threat. LADY OSPREY (4) has solid claims each-way after a pleasing second on the PSF late in June on her latest start. LA BARAKA (5) tries a handicap for the first time and is another to pay attention to.

Summary: MAPLE GIRL (6) best to forgiven for her last start back here as she has the ability to run much better. Her penultimate start when running second over the distance boasts her chances here. LA PORTUGAISE (2) was not disgraced last time out and was a winner over the track and trip three starts ago. She must be firmly considered. LOGIS (3) has a good place chance on his record. CLEMENZA (4) is in with a fighting chance and can shock this sort of field.

ELUSIVE GLORY (1) was just beaten in his previous start and has every chance of inching one closer this time around. IDAHO JAMES (7) always finds himself in the frame and his experience could carry him through. SIGRUNE (10) is in absolutely shining form and has the right credentials to add to her winning tally.

Ideally placed at the earnings ceiling, JOYCE DU VAL (14) looks set to mount a serious challenge. ISEA DU QUENNE (12) also commands plenty of respect after an impressive last-start victory.

IMPERIALE MIVENCE (9) will race barefoot this time, unlike on her last two starts, and that key equipment change significantly enhances her prospects. She warrants considerable respect. Disqualified last time at Cagnes after a string of highly consistent performances, ILLIMITEE (5) is well worth another chance. INSTALL D’ALOUETTE (13) disappointed on his latest outing, but his overall profile makes him impossible to dismiss and he remains a leading contender.

Summary: Narrowly beaten two starts ago, LEADER DE MARZY (9) is just as effective racing with shoes on and looks capable of going one better if producing a clean performance. He rates as the one they all have to beat. LARRY DU DOUBS (5), fitted with a new rshoeing configuration following his seasonal reappearance, is expected to strip much fitter and shapes as a serious danger. L’AMIRAL DE LUNE (11) is enjoying a rich vein of form and should be involved in the finish. LOTUS MADRIK (3) can be hard to trust but undoubtedly possesses the talent to make a significant impact if everything falls into place.

Summary: LADY AURELIA (6) scored in impressive fashion on turf last time out and, once again racing barefoot on all four, looks well placed to follow up back on a hard surface. LOKIE KADESH (5) is not the easiest mare to trust, but her ability is unquestionable and she is capable of taking a race of this nature if she remains faultless. LIVERAINE (4) finished a promising second on her sole start of the season and is one to follow on her first outing for her new stable. The in-form L’ETINCELLE (7) continues to thrive and has another strong chance of making her presence felt.

Summary: MUSE DE L’AVRE (10) failed to fire at Chartres last time out, but that effort is best overlooked. If she can remain faultless from start to finish, she has the class to come on top. MA ROSE DE SARTHE (13) has been carefully prepared for this tailor-made assignment and is expected to bounce back into the spotlight. MAGIE D’ORLY (6) was an unlucky loser at La Capelle on June 14 and is well worth another chance,. MINA DU VIVIER (9), who finished strongly on her latest outing earlier this month, also has solid claims on the back of this performance and should not be underestimated.

Summary: MILLENIUM JIEL (10) has become far more reliable in recent outings and continues to deliver top-class performances. He faces a bunch of rivals well within his reach and looks capable of scoring. MAYBE DU CEBE (4) showed she retains plenty of ability with a good solid effort at Laval last time out and, if building on that performance, has leading claims too. LOVA DE FROMENTEL (13) is a model of consistency who deserves plenty of respect. MARION D’HAFLING (11) needs to reaffirm at present, but she has already shown considerable ability and cannot be ruled out if returning to her best level.

Summary: NEWTON DE L’AVRE (14) has been remarkably consistent since the start of his career and lines up in a particularly favourable engagement. He looks ready to get his head in front and break his maiden tag. NADAL D’OLIVERIE (6) finished close behind the selection over this course recently and is expected to lead the challengers, alongside NICO DE SAINT NOM (12), who has caught the eye on several occasions. NINO DE L’AVRE (8) failed to confirm his winning debut, but he should be much better suited by this track than he was at Vincennes and can bounce back.

Summary: Back on the track where she scored on debut and partnered by Éric Raffin for the first time, NEWMARKET (3) looks well engaged and could be the one to beat. NATSUKO TURGOT (11) comes in the race on the back of an emphatic victory at Châtelaillon and looks the most serious threat to the selection. NOCCIOLINA (1) is not the easiest to trust, but her ability is unquestionable and she remains capable of playing a major role if keeping her mind on the job. NIGELLE D’AVEL (7) caught the eye with an impressive performance at Chartres last time out and commands plenty of respect.

Summary: Runner-up last time in stronger company, IRON DU GERS (9) brings the standout form to this contest and rates as the one to beat despite his 25-metre handicap. Back in peak condition, HELLO PANAME (8) shapes as his chief rival. JALAPENO (5) and JASMIN BLEU (1) will look to make full use of their 25-metre head start and could prove difficult to reel in if allowed to dictate the race.

Summary: The talented LIVINIO FLAC (4) makes his return from a break but is expected to be ready to fire first-up, with connections expressing strong confidence. Ideally drawn behind the autostart, he gets the nod ahead of LONDON RECALL (8), who races barefoot for this assignment, and LADY DU CHENE (10), who steps up in class after an eye-catching recent success. LAMATTA (2) may lack the credentials of the leading trio but has the consistency to remain competitive and should be poised to capitalize if the principals fail to deliver.

Summary: KALAGA DU CADRAN (4) boasts an excellent record on the French Riviera and made an encouraging return to competition last time out. Barring any major incident, she should be right in the thick of the finish. KANSAS DE CASTELLE (5), who is invariably competitive when staying faultless, and KYLLIAN (3), who races barefoot on this occasion, look set to provide the strongest opposition. KOUGAR DE SIMM (7) appeals as the value outsider of the race and is capable of outrunning his odds.

Summary: This looks a wide-open contest. MANGO CASTELETS (8) made a very favourable impression during the winter campaign and is best forgiven his latest disqualification. He gets a narrow vote to come out on top. MYSTERE TURGOT (10) continues to progress and is ideally placed under the race conditions, making him a major player. MOONLIGHT DU RHIN (9) has the ability to feature prominently if he can remain faultless throughout. MADGIC STRYCK (5) has been in good spirit since joining the stable of David Cinier and commands plenty of respect.

MY LADY PRINCESS (7) possesses plenty of natural speed and has the ability to make her presence felt. She commands considerable respect.
