    Summary: ZEN POETRY (6) ran with plenty of promise when he was second on debut in early July behind a filly that has won a Group 3 since.

THE HIGHLIGHT (5) is another to pay attention to, having been given time since his third on debut in May at Saint-Cloud when third. He can be on the premises, as can MISTER ENGLAND (3), who looks best of the rest.

DIVINA FE (7) can improve from her debut third at Deauville early last month and can make things interesting. ERALA (2) has the benefit of experience and is another to consider and has strong place claims.

  35. MELUSINE DU HOULEY – Recent success over 1600m at Parislongchamp in a handicap on July 2. Honest filly who can give another good account
  36. IKOTOFETSY – Has really struggled and finished 9th in a Class 2 at Compiegne over 1,600m on 28 July 2026. Seems out of form and can be opposed
  37. SAINT ELIGIUS – Finished 8th in a Class 3 Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 1,600m on 5 July 2026. This is a stiffer test today and he can be opposed
  38. STAR ROCK – Only modest and finished 7th in a Class 3 Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 1,600m on 5 July 2026. He lacks consistency and can be opposed
  39. TOPY’SIM – In good form and finished 3rd in a Class 3 Handicap at Saint-Cloud over 1,600m on 5 July 2026. Although she has bottom weight she might find this a step too far

He is marginally preferred over MIJAS (12), who has found it difficult in Pattern class on his last two starts and can play a lead role in much calmer waters this time. SUPIDO (6) is one to look at each-way after a good effort at Newmarket (UK) when fourth in a competitive handicap last month. CALAS (3) is also worth considering and can have a say in proceedings. HALF HALF (11) is an honest performer and is dangerous to ignore with Cristain Demuro booked to ride.

  43. GRAND SON OF DARK – Placed on all five runs this year, 4th on the latter over over 2000m in a Group 3 race at Milan (ITA) on June 21. He has work to do to trouble some of these

  46. LORD CLOVER – Finished 4th on his last start in a Group 2 race at Koln (DEU) over 1600m on May 25. He might not trouble the main protagonists but can not be discounted each-way
  47. DISTANT STORM – Two solid efforts this year, 2nd on the latter in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (Gr.1) at the Curragh (IRL) on May 23 over 1600m on the most recent. Hard to dismiss over this distance

  49. LYNEHAM – Showed some improvement when fourth in a Class 2 at Newmarket over 1,600m on 9 July 2026. More to do here to make the top three
  50. SAINT ARNOULT – Victorious in a Class 1 at La Teste De Buch over 1,600m on 15 July 2026. More to do in a better race but he warrants respect

    Summary: DISTANT STORM (8) has produced solid form this year, finishing placed in both the English and Irish 2,000 Guineas. His latest effort when second in Ireland, where he finished much closer to the horse that had beaten him by eight lengths previously, represented a step forward, and he can come out on top. KOMOREBI (3), who runs in the same ownership, rates the main danger after a fine second in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains (Gr.1) at ParisLongchamp on his penultimate start and should once again give a good account. SYNARAN (5) shaped well when fourth in a Group 3 contest in June and can have a say in the finish, while KHOVIKHOV (1) completes the shortlist.

  61. DIVISION – Fair 5th in the July Cup (Gr.1) at Newmarket (UK) over 1200m on July 11 on his last start. Capable of being competitive
  62. MY CALYX CEN – Unplaced in a Group I at Ascot over 1,200m on 19 June 2026. Group 3 winner on his penultimate start over 1100m on April 14 at Chantilly. This distance might not be ideal

    Summary: TRUE LOVE (12) has been the model of consistency. She won the English 1,000 Guineas (Gr.1) in May and has been placed in three Group 1 races since that success. Her latest second in the Prix Jean Prat was a solid effort and she can get the better of STOLEN KISS (1), who was a good fourth in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (Gr.1) at Ascot in June. TAKE CHARGE STAR (9) is another to pay close attention to and can make his rivals work hard for success. DIVISION (10) is also worth attention after a fifth in the July Cup (Gr.1) on his latest start.

  76. STERNLE – Unplaced in a Listed at Deauville over 1,200m on 4 July 2026 when last racing. She looks out of her depth
    Summary: REGIONAL (5) was a solid fourth in the Prix Maurice de Gheest (Gr.1) last year, and can be forgiven for his latest run in June at Ascot. He can bounce back and be too much for ESTEPONA (3), who should like this trip having won a Listed race on his latest start over this journey in June at Chantilly. CHARIBELLE (10) likes to race prominently and is another to pay attention to in this class of race. SHIRI (12) competes the shortlist.

  90. NO TUNE – Threatening to win and was runner-up in a Listed at Deauville over 1,200m on 4 July 2026. Can not be ruled out
    Summary: MOOJEED (3) ran well enough in a competitive Group 3 race when a close up fifth on his latest start against older rivals in early July. Back against his same age group he can get back on track and gets the vote ahead of BEHIKE (4) , who makes the trip from the UK after a pleasing second at Ascot in early July when last seen. KAILANI (2), likes to be held up and can be expected to arrive late and he has solid each-way claims. NO TUNE (14) is another to pay attention to and can not be overlooked.

  104. LAGOA SANTA – Unplaced in a Class 4 Handicap at Senonnes-Pouance over 1,350m on 13 March 2026. Seems to be out of form at the moment
    Summary: HATFAVILLE (4) arrives after success at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap in early June . Despite the penalty, she looks like she can follow up. RED GUST (2) was a solid second on his penultimate start at Dieppe and can make life difficult for the selection. AIR DE SAMBA (8) ran well to be second late last month at Le Touquet in a Class 4 handicap and has solid each way claims. Consistent, BIG BOOTS (9) is also worth considering and can be on the premises.

    Summary: Successful in her last two races, ILIADE DU GOUTIER (2) could shine once again. She will, however, have to be wary of IDEAL DE NGANDA (5), a recent winner at Royan, and INVICTUS ELLIS (9), who is in excellent form. JODLEUSE MAG (13), coming off an encouraging performance, also has the potential to make the frame.

He will, however, have to contend with KADOR D’ESPACE (15), who ran well last time out, KREIZ DE PRAT GUEN (14), racing with front shoes and without hind shoes this time, and KUNG FU FAMILY (16), who must also be respected on best form.

The main opposition should come from KALEDA DE LA COUR (1), an impressive winner in her latest mounted outing. OTT DU BOCAGE (6), unbeaten in two starts since joining the Guillaume Cardine stable. Entrusted to Alexandre Abrivard, JERICHO DU BELLAY (2) also has the credentials to fight out the finish.

He is preferred over the ultra-consistent JITANE VALLEE (6) and JUNON DE LOU (7), who has proven competitive at this level. Despite the 25-meter handicap, FEMTO DE VAUVERT (13), who was unlucky last time can also get involved with the finish.

    Summary: A very open lucky last race. MOGADOR DE LOU (16) recently showed promise on grass and looks capable of confirming that form. MARCEL D’ANJOU (15), returning from a break is capable of being a lively danger. MALOIN D’ELMA (4), judged on her latest effort can also contest the finish. MERITE JULRY (13), if she stays disciplined, has the ability to put in a strong performance as well.

KARAKOUM (3), who shaped like the winner on his debut over this track before being caught late, should have learned plenty from that experience and looks a serious danger. GOLDY GLORY (6) has shown a sharp turn of foot and cannot be overlooked, while the well-bred newcomer BRAE ROY (9) could also contest the finish.

    Summary: LA CARMEN (2) made a strong impression on debut and was considered worthy of an entry in the upcoming Prix Marcel Boussac (Gr.1). She can remain unbeaten close to home but will need to be wary of SYDNEY MOON (1), who can take advantage of her experience and ability. Trained by the Wertheimer brothers, the only unraced runner in the field, TIMIDE (3), also has a role to play. HISTORI CHOPE (4) represents the in-form stable of Ludovic Gadbin and can make the frame.

KER WELEN (4) has never finished worse than fourth in five starts over this course and distance. ALMAGUER (2) should not be inconvenienced by the drop in distance and can also be considered a possible winner.

  32. ROBERTO PESTO – Has only been modest of late and finished 9th in handicap at Saint-Malo over 1800m on 1 August. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  33. SAINT MONCHIK – Holding form and was fourth in a Maiden at Dieppe over 2,400m on 9 July. Capable of making the frame yet again
  34. WARHOLM – Finished 8th last time out in a handicap at Chantilly over 2000m on 7 July. Can win a race of this nature
  35. RUE RECAMIER – Finished 14th last time out in a handicap at Chantilly over 2000m on 7 July. In good form before that and is clearly not out of it
  36. NISSAKIA – Yet to win a race but was not disgraced when fourth in a handicap at Compiegne over 1600m on 16 July. Can be a lively danger
  37. MARAKANA – Struggled when 13th in a handicap at ParisLongchamp over 2200m on 18 June. Did better in all three starts before that and has a place chance
    Summary: After two disappointing outings in the spring, WARHOLM (5) showed clear improvement in early July, finishing as the first of the beaten horses in a handicap. On the rise, he can return to the winner’s circle but will need to be wary of BLACK THUNDER (2), ridden for the first time by Martin Protti, and the consistent SAINT MONCHIK (4), who drops in distance. RUE RECAMIER (6) is better than her latest effort at Chantilly in early July suggests and is another that could shine.

  47. PASTILLE BAM’S – A three-year-old filly by anodin out of Vauquoise who is making her debut. Her Dam won 4 of her 44 starts. Could need this experience
  48. LACRA – A three-year-old filly by Ectot out of Lakritze who is making her debut. Her Dam won twice in 16 starts. Could earn some money
  49. HONEYBLISS – A three-year-old filly by Bathyrhon out of Enduring Bliss who is making her debut. Her Dam was unraced in France. Could be a threat
    Summary: UMMAGUMMA (4) ran an eye-catching race on debut when flashing up for second. She returns to the distance to seek vengeance and may snatch up victory. Supplemented GRAND PALAIS (2) ran seventh on debut and looks to have the educational run behind him. In a smaller field like this, he will firmly make his presence felt. PERFECT MAN (1) is always in the thick of things and is one who has shown grit to date. He can pop up once again into the equation. HONEYBLISS (12) heads the rest.

  50. MARIGOLD SACREE – A winner in a maiden over 2500m at Saint-Malo on the 22nd of July 2026. Confidence could be up and must be considered
  51. MADONE CAUVELLIERE – Supplemented and was a winner in a maiden over 2700m at Le Dorat on the 14th of July 2026. One for the larger exotic plays
  52. MAHAURI SEA – Good 4th in a Group III over 2400m at Vichy on the 22nd of July 2026. Should take a power of beating in this lineup
  53. MANDELINE – Credible effort into 3rd in a maiden over 2500m at Saint-Malo on the 22nd of July 2026. Should be considered in all plays
  54. MOLAINE – Hard trying 4th in a maiden over 3100m at Corlay on the 28th of June 2026. Will be fighting for the backend of quartets

  58. MELEAGRINE – Hearty effort into 7th in a Group III over 2400m at Vichy on the 22nd of July 2026. Can disrupt the top 4 finish
  59. MISSQUICK – This filly is out of the 3-time winning mare Geny Des Airs who found success in the steeple chase races. She just may need the experience here
    Summary: MAHAURI SEA (3) delivered an admirable effort when running fourth in a Group III and looks to take a power of beating in this lineup. MILIA (7) made vast improvement when she furnished into second and if she repeats this effort, she will be a firm contender at the firing line. MARIGOLD SACREE (1) broke her maiden spell after seven starts and looks to be filled with confidence. She will be right there once again. MANDELINE (4) is one to consider in all aspects on form.

  63. SAUVIAC – Difficult 9th in a Class 4 Handicap over 3000m at Lion D’Angers on the 2nd of August 2026. Top choices look more attractive
  64. BRAMANTE – Ran 10th in a Class 4 Handicap over 2400m at Saint-Cloud on the 8th of July 2026. Others seem more intriguing
  65. HAMILTON DESJY – Finished 8th in a Class 4 Handicap over 3000m at Lion D’Angers on the 2nd of August 2026. Needs to bounce back to earlier form
  66. AME DIVINE – Forgivable 10th in a Class 4 Handicap over 3000m at Lion D’Angers on the 2nd of August 2026. Can make amends here
  67. DREAM FILLY – Credible 2nd in a Class 4 Claimer over 25600m at Savenay on the 14th of July 2026. Can disrupt the top 4 play
  68. RIGEL – Not the best run finishing 14th in a Class 4 Handicap over 2650m at Chateaubriant on the 21st of July 2026. Best to look elsewhere
    Summary: TIMBALLINA (3) was unlucky when just beaten into second over the distance and has the possibility of adding to her winning tally in this field. NICK BOUTIQUE (2) has run two consecutive seconds in his last two starts and is overdue another career win. He can give the top elect a run for her money. NEVER COME BACK (1) is a complete honest solider being a seven-time winner and his experience could very well carry him through here. AME DIVINE (7) needs to make amends on her last attempt.

  71. NULLE S’Y FROTTE – Good 4th on debut in a maiden over 2400m at Dieppe on the 17th of July 2026. Should not be discounted from any exotic play

  76. NOCTALIE SACREE – This filly is out of the unraced mare Amour Toujours. Not much confidence on pedigree and is best to watch the betting
    Summary: Supplemented NAYONS PEUR DERIEN (7) went missing on debut but now goes about having her second start. She is packed with ability and could showcase her talent in this sort of event. NIAMH DU MOU (1) and NICOTINEDUQUARTIER (2) are no strangers to each other as they renew their rivalry here when representing the same form line. Both candidates are selected to fill in the second and third place positions and can confidently do so which may lead to them fighting out the finish. NIKITA DES MOTTES (4) completes the quartet mix.
