R1 CABOURG [R-H]
C1 – PRIX DE LISIEUX – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 29,000
- MOLLY DU CAUX – Took little time getting back in the game following the spring break, winning a Class D over course and distance three weeks ago. A repeat seems unlikely but still has the capability to get a look in
- MISS DU PERCHE – Hardy filly that is undefeated in 2 starts with David Thomain. Has been showing her form since the spring and even though stepping up in class must be respected
- MEGINO – Finished 8th in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 12 August. Will appreciate a return to racing clockwise and from the front line can put on a good show. Place chance
- LAMENTIN – Showed improvement when 4th in a 2725m Class F here in mid-July but at this level will struggle to repeat
- MOJITO DE BANVILLE – Made up for Enghien sanction when 3rd in a Lisieux Class B last Monday. Sports a new configuration and the front-row start will do his chances no disservice
- MARQUIS D’ENFER – Won a Class D at Argentan over 2,150m on 8 August. Ran 2nd here a month earlier and, given the entry, is easy to like for a place in the frame
- KEL PRESTANCE – Has endured an interrupted career. Is some way off the form he showed as a 4yo and will have nothing to offer on first start back
- LIKE MESLOIS – Missed out on the three-timer when eliminated in a Pornichet Class D in mid-July. Won under these conditions on sole start at the venue and deserves to be taken seriously
- MONTEQUILLO – Fifth in a Class C at Enghien over 2,875m on 1 July. Has been re-shod for the occasion and in this company looks a serious proposition
- LOVE’S SECRET – Finished 13th in a Class B at Bernay over 2,800m on 26 July. Is preferred under the saddle and best to hold off
- MUST DREAM – Dominated the opposition in a Class D over 2,050m here on 14 August, making it 4 wins in last 5 starts, and should logically take all the beating
Summary: MUST DREAM (11) won the Quinté+ here with ease last week and will race in the same configuration. Clement Duvaldestin should be wary though of MONTEQUILLO (9), who has a good opportunity to make his presence felt again. In excellent form and ideally-engaged at the limit of earnings, MARQUIS D’ENFER (6) can be preferred to MEGINO (3), who deserves to be given another chance.

C2 – PRIX DE LINAIRES – 2050m (a1m1/4) – – Harness – EUR € 25,000 - MULANE DU BOCAGE – Third in a Class E at Amiens over 2,400m on 29 July 2026, her best performance for almost 3 months, however a repeat seems unlikely
- MASCOTT DU CHOQUEL – Won a Class D over course and distance early last month but was eliminated at Argentan 2 weeks ago. Is never far from faulting but on good behaviour can get in on the action
- MOANA DE WALLIS – Sprang an 11-1 surprise when successful in a 2725m Class E here a week ago. Has never delivered at this distance but has pulled a good number and should not be underestimated
- MERVEILLEUSE – Won a Class E at Mauquenchy over 2,850m on 23 July after 2 straight eliminations. Is unlikely to repeat but from the 4 slot can give this a good go
- MUSE DU VIVIER – Finished 8th in a Class E over 2,750m here on 11 August 2026, her first start for over 4 months. Is clearly in race-mode this time and thoroughly capable of imposing
- MAYA DU POMMEAU – Tough winner of a Class E at Amiens over 2,400m on 29 July. Has thrived since moving yards and should be good enough to give MUSE DU VIVIER (5) a run for her money
- MOON NORMANDY – Finished 3rd in a Class E at Enghien over 2,875m on 2 August following a pair of disqualifications. Breaks wide on front line but is hard to knock when focused and must be taken seriously
- MAGIE D’ORLY – Got back in the game when successful in a Class E over course and distance 10 days ago. Takes on a better lot this time, is not ideally-positioned, but will generate some interest
- MILADY DREAM – Started to come good in the spring before subsequently losing her way, and will have little to offer
- MARMARA BLEUE – Second in a Class E over course and distance on 11 August 2026. Has been knocking at the door since imposing at Lisieux in May and despite a 2nd line draw, is still worth keeping an eye on
- MISS GRAIGNES – Runner-up in two before coming 4th in a Class E over 2,750m here on 14 July. Takes on a better lot this time but can still challenge for minor honours
- MELODIE BECO – Runner-up in a Class D at Biarritz over 2,950m on 25 July. Faces a significantly tougher task this time though and can be passed over
- MOLLY WHITE – Complicated filly preparing for a campaign in the other code and can be ignored
- MADONE PIYA – Unplaced in a Class E at Amiens over 2,400m on 29 July, 2 weeks after having encouraged over longer here, and others easier to back
Summary: MUSE DU VIVIER (5) has just returned from a break, will have been specifically prepared for this, and will be barefoot for the occasion. She can be preferred to MAYA DU POMMEAU (6), who has quickly regained her form with Antonin André, MOON NORMANDY (7), who could not be better-engaged, and MERVEILLEUSE (4), who is out to confirm her Mauquenchy victory.

C3 – PRIX DE GRAIGNES – 2725m (a1m1/2) – – Harness – EUR € 26,000 - LA PERLA DE LOU – Out of the picture in last 2 but will be barefoot this time and reunited with Mathieu Mottier who ran 3rd with her at Lisieux last month. First 5
- LADY AURELIA – Capricious mare but has won 2 of last 3, most recently a Brehal Class F 11 days ago, and will not be far from the action if she deigns to keep her action together
- LOUMIA CASTELETS – Won a Caen Class E in June but has twice failed to confirm and can be passed over
- LUANA SPORT – Gave a reassuringly-good account when 2nd in a 2750m Class F here 2.5 weeks ago. Is superbly-engaged, well-positioned behind the car, and can impose this time
- LOLITA CHARMEUSE – Just missed out on the hat-trick when second in a Class E at Lisieux over 2,725m on 7 June. Is barefoot for re-entry and from the 5 slot can play an important role
- LAGHERTHA DU PONT – Ran 7th in a Class E at Meslay-du-Maine over 2,875m on 28 July, 6 weeks after imposing at Vichy, but others still easier to trust
- LIBERTY HEROLD – Unplaced in a Class E at Enghien over 2,150m on 23 June. Has been biting off too much since winning at Amiens in May and is unlikely to spice things up
- LADY D’HELIOS – Solid during the spring but has subsequently come off the boil and will first need to reassure
- LET’S GO SMART – Finished 7th in a Class E Apprentices’ race at Enghien over 2,875m on 13 August. Has been re-shod for the occasion but current form does little to inspire confidence
- LUTECE D’OUVILLE – Was not disgraced when 6th in a Class E at Enghien over 2,875m on 25 July. Is not a priority but can still get a look in
- LADY EVER – Second in a Class F Apprentices’ race at Amiens over 2,400m on 29 July, after having imposed at Les Andelys earlier in the month, but is being aimed too high this time
- LADY CHANNEL – Comfortable winner of a Class F over 2,725m here on 17 July. Simply excels at the venue and even from the back line looks the horse to beat
- LARISSE D’ECHAL – Victorious in a Class F at Montier En Der over 3,025m on 9 August. Has hardly put a foot wrong over recent months and is easy to like for the win. Chance
Summary: There is little between LUANA SPORT (4), who met a very tough rival here on 4 August, LADY CHANNEL (12), who is behind in earnings, LARISSE D’ECHAL (13), a recent winner when racing barefoot, and LOLITA CHARMEUSE (5) who has been consistently competitive since the spring.

C4 – PRIX D’ARGENTAN – 2750m (a1m1/2) – – Harness – EUR € 37,000 - MAX OCCAGNES – Unplaced in a Class C at Enghien over 2,150m on 9 July, his second start back. Is far off the form he showed in the spring and cannot be regarded a player
- NELSON GREENWOOD – Finished 4th in a Class B at Enghien over 2,875m on 29 July, somewhat making up for losing his action at Enghien late last month, and if applied should finish in the mix
- EXPRESS D’ARC – Sent for a break after winning a Vincennes Quinte in January. Has struggled since returning to competition and will have nothing to offer
- KESITO D’URVILLE – Finished 2nd in a Class E at La Roche-Posay over 3,150m on 9 August. Has hardly put a foot out of line this term, will be barefoot this time, but may be taking on too much
- IBANQUE LEBEL – Has looked rather ordinary since returning from her lengthy layoff, most recently unplaced in a Class E under these conditions 2 weeks ago, and will have few takers
- KNOCKONWOOD – Finished 5th in a Class B at Enghien over 2,150m on 6 August. Has not won for some time, and is not about to this time either, but he has been holding his own lately and merits attention
- KRYSTAL PIYA – Handy sort that encouraged at Enghien a fortnight ago when 4th in a 2150m Class B. Is not a priority but has the wherewithal to give this a good go
- KAISER – Authoritative winner of a Class D over course and distance on 3 July. Ran 2nd at Brehal next time and should again prove competitive when push comes to shove
- JERICHO DU RIB – Won a Class D at La Capelle over 2,700m on 20 July. Has done nothing but improve lately, however he is being conditioned here and will have other priorities
- INDOCILE – Ran 7th in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,750m on 10 July. Has placed just once in 12 starts this year and is not about to spring any surprises
- EVERY TIME WINNER – Runner-up in a Class B at Chatelaillon over 2,625m on 12 July. Is plainly close to his race and at this level should have the measure of most, if not all
- BROTHERS IN ARMS – Unplaced in a Class A at Enghien over 2,150m on 23 May. Not the easiest to handle but has form at a superior level and cannot be discounted
- PANTOCRATOR – Should not be too hastily-judged for faulting in a Class B over course and distance on 17 July. Has already won twice this term and will be barefoot as he was at Graignes. First five
- DAYAK (ITY) – Won a Vincennes Class E in June before landing an Enghien Class D a month later. Lost all chance at the start next time but will be a tough nut to crack if Yoann Lebourgeois keeps him focused
- IGGYPOP D’HERFRAIE – Finished 12th in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 31 July. Has otherwise been in good shape but would be preferred a level down
- IVOIRE PRESTANCE – Finished 11th in a Class D at Cabourg over 2,750m on 31 July. Benefits from a good entry but looks to be out of his depth
Summary: Fourth in three Gr.3s since the start of the year, EVERY TIME WINNER (11) recently proved his form at Châtelaillon-La Rochelle and could well get the better of all of his rivals this time. DAYAK (14), who scored twice before faulting at Enghien, can lead the opposition alongside the reconfigured KAISER (8), impressive winner here early last month, and NELSON GREENWOOD (2), fourth in a good race at Enghien last time. PANTOCRATOR (13), racing barefoot after a recent clinker here, can also play a prominent role.

C5 – PRIX D’ALENCON – 2750m (a1m1/2) – – Mounted – EUR € 33,000 - LUCA BAROSSO – Should not be too quickly condemned for failing to deliver here late last month. Debuts for his new yard, has already won for Mathieu Mottier as jockey, and can now do so as trainer
- INDIGO GEDE – Has been completely off the boil for past 3 months and in this company will have nothing to offer
- HEPAX SPEED – Placed on turf 2 months ago but has done nothing noteworthy since and can be confidently disregarded
- JUST PACHA – Excellent servant that won his second of the summer when securing a Class F at Le Sap earlier in the month. Has never failed to fire at Cabourg and is not about to start now. Chance
- PARKER – Came encouraging 4th in a Class F at Abbeville a fortnight ago but others still preferred
- JAGUAR GEMA – Won a Class F at St Jean De Monts over 2,625m on 9 August 2026. Is consistently in the thick of things and, although unlikely to repeat, should nevertheless hold his own
- JIHERE DU PORET – Went into her spring break on a good note but has failed to deliver since returning to competition, most recently disqualified in a Class D at Vichy over 2,950m on 1 July, and is not an obvious choice
- JAZERANE – Won a Class E over course and distance on 7 August. Simply excels with Alexis Collette who will be justifiably anticipating another big performance
- HEIDI DU BISET – Has struggled since imposing at Le Mont-Saint-Michel in late-June, lastly unplaced in a Class E Apprentices’ race over 2,725m here on 4 August, and is unlikely to upset the status quo
- IDEAL DE BANNES – Victorious in a Class E at Vibraye over 3,100m on 15 August 2026, putting behind him a poor run at Vichy in early-July. Hélia Fernandes Rios keeps the drive and will justifiably generate interest
- JADE DU PARC – Ran reassuring third in a Class E at Meslay-du-Maine over 2,875m on 28 July after having lost her action at Vichy the previous month. Has not delivered here for some time, but in current condition is hard to ignore
Summary: Sporting a new configuration on his first start for Mathieu Mottier, LUCA BAROSSO (1) should make amends for his disappointing run here on 31 July. At the top of his game, JUST PACHA (4) can lead the opposition alongside JAZERANE (8), who is capable of making an immediate impact on her ridden debut, and Antonin André’s second runner, IDEAL DE BANNES (10), who scored at the first time of asking for his new connections.

- NORIANO BELLO – Ran 2nd to a very good horse in a 2725m Class E here 2 weeks ago. Is well in on the front row and looks thoroughly capable of imposing this time
- NEW MAN ANGELE – Finished 2nd in a Class E over 2,725m here on 7 August 2026. Appears to have got his act together and his latest run here bodes well for his chances
- NITAI SANTMIXO – Finished 3rd in a Class E at Amiens over 2,400m on 29 July. Is not about to lose his maiden tag but is in sufficiently good shape to contest a place on the podium
- NEFERT D’ALESA – Encouraging fourth in a Class E over 2,725m here on 17 July. Has no references at this distance but is nicely-drawn and in present shape is worth keeping an eye on
- N’OUBLIE PAS – Finished 3rd in a Class E at Cherbourg over 2,625m on 24 June. Is plainly close to his race and from the front line can give this a good go. Place prospect
- NEON DU PARC – Showed improvement when 5th in a 2725m Class E here 2 weeks ago, his first clockwise start, but still needs to find more
- NUMENOR’S FELLA – Finished 3rd in a Class F at Chateaubriant over 2,400m on 7 August 2026. Will not be sent out at 64-1 this time and could even challenge for the win
- NELSON MELODY – Sports 4 pads for the first time after running 5th in a Brehal Class F on 10 August. Is as tricky as they get though and others easier to trust
- NEW YORK STEF – Unexceptional sort taking a hike in category after a poor showing at Abbeville a fortnight ago, and appears to have no possible chance
- NO EXPECTATIONS – Qualified respectably in July but was eliminated on debut earlier this month and is unlikely to shake things up
Summary: NORIANO BELLO (2) looks to have ample ability for a race of this calibre and can be preferred to NUMENOR’S FELLA (8), sporting front pads for the first time, the consistent N’OUBLIE PAS (6), and NEW MAN ANGELE (3), provided he stays in stride.

- ODESSA DE MORGANE – Made amends for modest debut when second in a Class E at Saint Malo over 2,150m last weekend and, with form maintained, can make the frame once again
- ONE NIGHT IN RIO – Serious filly that finished 4th behind ORIGINE CASTELLE (4) in a Class E under these conditions 2.5 weeks ago. Will be entrusted to David Thomain for the first time and has a realistic chance of bringing home the bacon
- ORIGINE CASTELLE – Ran third on debut in a Class E at Cabourg over 2,050m on 4 August, confirming her good qualification, and from the 4 slot can get her nose in front this time
- OLA VALLIERE – Qualified without fanfare on 8 July, then ran out victorious in a Class F at Bernay over 2,300m 18 days later. Faces better horses this time but has pulled a good number and can make first five
- OCACINA – Disqualified in both starts to date, most recently a Class E over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago, and will have few friends
- OLBIA CASTELETS – Finished 4th in a Class E at Saint Malo over 2,150m on 15 August, first time out. Will have come on for the run but others still easier to back
- OPALE DE L’OISON – Set off no fireworks in qualification at Caen in early-June. Is nicely-related though and will not be far off the mark if Esteban De Jésus successfully negotiates the start
- OVADA – Gave a good account on debut when 4th behind ODESSA DE MORGANE (2) in a Saint-Malo Class E last weekend. Faces a stiffer test this time but should nevertheless acquit herself honourably
- OMBREE JISCE – Career debutante that qualified respectably at Meslay in June. Starts on back line but hails from a yard going good-guns and must be afforded respect
Summary: ORIGINE CASTELLE (4) and ONE NIGHT IN RIO (3) recently finished in that order here and should battle it out for victory this time. ODESSA DE MORGANE (2), a good second at Saint-Malo, and newcomer OPALE DE L’OISON (8) can also be considered.

- NORGAFLORE – Disqualified on debut in a Class F at St Jean De Monts over 2,625m on 2 August. Christopher Corbineau takes over in the saddle and enjoys a good opportunity to make amends
- NANA PAULLH – Ran 7th on debut in a Class F at St Jean De Monts over 2,625m on 2 August. Will be fitted with pads this time but still not an obvious choice
- NOSTALGIE JIEL – Finished 7th on debut in a Class E at La Capelle over 2,750m on 7 July. Will have come on for the run, sports pads this time, and should not be overlooked
- NAYA DE MYE – Nicely-related filly switching codes for the first time after having failed to impress under harness, and could pleasantly surprise
- NIKA LEGACY – Disappointing on the whole since her April debut, most recently disqualified in a Dozule Class F last week, and can be ruled out
- NAELE DU POMMEREUX – Has failed to place in 7 starts to date and is expected to maintain the trend
- NATIVE D’AUVERS – Not the easiest of horses to handle but has ample ability and can contest the finish if Adrien Lamy manages to keep her trotting
- NUSICA ASSCHADEL – Modest individual that has yet to show any particular flair for the code and is not about to create an upset
- NORMANDY JOSSELYN – Entrusted to Alexis Collette following a pair of sanctions under harness. Clearly has promise and can play a leading role if she takes to the new conditions
- NOUBA CASTELETS – Ran 5th on monte debut here on 24 July but has not been quite as sharp since. In this company though, could play a small part
- NOVA DE LA VALLEE – Finished modest 7th in a 2375m Dozule Class F last week, her first start in the discipline, and will need to find considerably more
- NANALAND – Showed promise during the spring but has failed to make any impact since. Was prepared for this under harness here 10 days ago but others still preferred
- NOUVELLE D’ATOUT – Finished 4th in a Class F over course and distance on 4 August, but is considerably better than the result would suggest, and can wrap this up
Summary: NOUVELLE D’ATOUT (14), reliable in this discipline, and the delicate NATIVE D’AUVERS (8) can be preferred to NORMANDY JOSSELYN (10), who will be no pushover if she takes to the new discipline, and NORGAFLORE (2), who should not be too harshly-treated for faulting first time out.

- INDIGO – Disqualified last time out in Class H at Aix-les-Bains over 2700m on 8 August. Battling to find his best form and others make more appeal
- HALDO DE LA CLOUE – Showed some improvement when fourth in a Class G at this track over 2000m on 18 August. Might play a minor role
- IDUNN – In good form and finished third in Class G at this track over 2600m on 16 August. Can get into the mix of things once more
- KLASSIC MUSIC – Showed what she is capable of with a victory in a Class F mounted race over this track and trip on 18 August. Capable of doubling up
- KASANE DU BISET – Successful last time out in a Class G at this course over 2000m on 18 August. In good form and is capable of doubling up
Summary: KASANE DU BISET (10) won comfortably at this course last time and looks the one to beat. IDEAL LOVER (1) finished strongly that day and is an obvious danger. INO PURPLE (2) has been consistently competitive at this level and should be involved again. IDUNN (8), the second Masschaele-trained runner, also has claims

- LOVE ME DE CERISY – Unreliable but was runner-up in a Class F mounted race at Saint-Galmier over 2675m on 21 July. Can contest the finish

Summary: KATKO DES CAILLONS (7) made the most of his return to the mounted discipline, winning on his debut for trainer Alexis Grimault, and looks well placed to follow up in this tailor-made race. LISANDRO DE LOU (2) returns to the saddle with strong ambitions after finishing a good third in harness racing recently. KLEOPATRE D’ALFORT (4), a hard-fought winner earlier this month, is another leading contender. LOVE ME DE CERISY (5), whose current form is beyond doubt, also can get involved wth the finish.

Summary: Several runners have leading claims, headed by NEVEE (3), who encountered a useful filly at Cabourg and can be expected to build on that experience. NEWTON DE TILLARD (4) made a promising return to action and should improve for the run. NOBLE BARRA (6) caught the eye with a strong finish last time and can fight for a podium place.

KLOE DU ROUEZO (4) has formed a formidable partnership with her driver and looks a leading contender. KAP PAASLOO (11) remains eligible for lower-grade races and could prove well treated. KABOTIN CHENEVIERE (6) is regaining form and is a threat. KANEA DE L’ABBAYE (5) is progressing nicely and deserves some attention.

Summary: HOOPER DES CHASSES (5) has failed to show his true potential at Cagnes and needs to regain his confidence, but this could be a good opportunity to bounce back and win this lucky last race. JAPPELOUP TURGOT (2) heads the seven-year-old opposition and has been specifically prepared for this race. His stablemate JOLIVERT DU GERS (15) also has claims despite his unfavourable draw behind the starting gate. JOUR DE FETE (14) has made the trip with serious intentions and should not be overlooked.

- NO TURNING BACK – Hearty 4th in a Class 2 Condition over 1600m at Compiegne on the 28th of July 2026. Place chance
- FILIGRANE – Difficult 7th in a Class 2 Condition over 1400m at Lion D’Angers on the 2nd of August 2026. Has the form to be there on best foot
Summary: TORNADO ALLEY (4) is in absolute fine fettle being in striking form and can once again strike into the winners box. He will take a power of beating. PERSIAN IMP CEN (6) was not disgraced when running seventh in his penultimate start in a Listed and followed up after with a bold second. He can give the top choice a run for his money. Supplemented VARDIF (1) ran a credible third in a Group III three starts back and must be given serious consideration. NO TURNING BACK (12) can be involved in the equation.

- LUNALA – Better run into 3rd in a Class 3 Handicap over 1300m at Deauville on the 13th of August 2026. Experience can prevail

- WHIZALIO – Pleasant 3rd in a Class 4 Handicap over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on the 5th of July 2026. Can disrupt the top 4 play
Summary: ELENKA (1) has the urge to break the maiden shackles off her hooves and will be giving her everything in this field to execute it. LUNALA (3) ran a bold third last time out and being a four-time winner already, she can add to her winning tally. EL PROFESSOR CHOP (9) is built with the right accolades and if the top two fluff their lines, he will take full advantage. CIACCINO (6) should not be discounted from any betting calculations.

- KINGMAN DELO – Disqualified in a Class F over 3025m at Lucon on 5 July. Racing unshod this time he could show some major improvement
- KHALEESI LA VIE – A moderate 6th in a Class E over 3150m at La Roche-Posay on 9 August. Faces stronger and looks outclassed
- KAID MARTIN – Not disgraced when third in a Class F at St Jean De Monts over 2,625m on 9 August 2026. Bounced back to best last time and could provide some value. Will race with padded shoes in front
- KOSETTE DU LINON – Came home 4th in a Class F at St Jean De Monts over 2,625m on 9 August 2026. Has a lot more to do this time
- KELLE BELLE JASMA – Came home 8th in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 2 August 2026. Form is not good enough and is best left alone
- KOH I NOOR – Winner of a Class E over 2750m at Meslay-Du-Maine on 27 July. That was an improved effort but he will battle in this field
- JALISCA FLIGNY – A reasonable 4th in a Class E over 3100m at Nort Sur Erdre on 10 August. Faces stronger and will have a hard time in this company
- JAYA DES BROUSSES – Second in a Class E at Bernay over 2,800m on 26 July 2026. Showed excellent improvement last time and that puts her in the running
- KISS ME DU LIVET – Finished 6th in a Class H over 2675m at Portbail on 9 August. Unlikely to have any impact on this field
- KLASSIKA DIDALO – Victorious in a Class D Apprentices’ race at Vire over 2,800m on 8 May 2026. In good form and entrusted to Eric Raffin, she should go close
- JAZZ PETTEVINIERE – Finished 3rd in a Class F over 3150m at Abbeville on 8 August. That was in a mounted race and he is unlikely to do the same in a harness event
- JOYAU D’EVER – Victorious in a Class F Apprentices’ race at Pornichet over 2,750m on 6 August 2026. Is currently in good form and cannot be underestimated
- KAPLA DEVOL – Finished 2nd in a Class E over 3100m at Nort Sur Erdre on 10 August. Will have Benjamin Rochard in the driver’s seat and they have a good record together
- KRONO DU TRIO – Winner of a Class H over 3150m at Abbeville on 26 July. He defeated King Moko who has gone on to win so the form has been franked
Summary: KAPLA DEVOL (13) comes off two top runs on the grass and if he can convert that form to the sand must have a lively winning chance, especially partnered with Benjamin Rochard. KRONO DU TRIO (14) is in the same boat, coming off a win last time where the form has been franked. JOYAU D’EVER (12) rarely runs a bad race and is always a threat. KLASSIKA DIDALO (10) has run well without shoes recently and using the same configuration on his return to this track must be considered.

- HELIA SUCCES – Finished 4th in a Class E Apprentices’ race at Pornichet over 2,725m on 6 August 2026. Did beat JOEY DU NOYER (6) in June so she must have a chance in this
- JOEY DU NOYER – Successful in a Class E at La Roche-Posay over 3,150m on 9 August 2026. He is in top form and is proven at this track
- JAGUAR DJOB – Unplaced in a Class E over 3475m at Agon-Coutainville on July. He is certainly better than his last run on the grass and this race should give him an ideal opportunity
- JEWEL TOUCH – Outclassed the opposition in a Class E at Aix Les Bains over 2,700m on 8 August 2026. In excellent form and has a lot going for him
- JOCELYNE – Disqualified in a Class E over 2750m at Cabourg on 7 August. Could run a place if she keeps her focus this time
Summary: JAGUAR DJOB (7) may have let the side down last time but he is better than that and could have found the perfect vehicle for success on this occasion. He should be right there. After a dominant victory last time out JEWEL TOUCH (8) stands out as the main threat to the selection. JOEY DU NOYER (6) looks to be back to his best form and must be considered, as should HELIA SUCCES (5) who rarely disappoints.

- KARTOON DU FER – Finished 3rd in a race for amateurs over 2625m at Montignac-Charente on 6 August. That was his first run for a new trainer and there could be more to come

- KITO DU BOUILLON – Unplaced in a Class E over 2900m at Dozule on 5 August. Form is poor and should be overlooked

- KING IMPERIAL – A strong 2nd in a Class F over 3150m at Le Roche-Posay on 9 August. Rarely runs a bad race and must be a strong place contender
- KINGDOM DE CHENU – Finished 4th in a Class D over 2825m at Sable Sur Sarthe on 9 August. Ran well enough at Pornichet prior to his disqualification following an inquiry. Not without a chance
- KING DE CHOISEL – A poor 9th in a Class H over 3100m at Plesse on 26 July. Will need to up his game to feature but will race barefoot this time
- KADOR DU MONT – A disappointing 13th in a Class F over 2725m at Pornichet on 30 July. Should be fully wound up after three warm-up races and racing unshod behind could make all the difference
- KANGOO DU CANTER – A promising 3rd in a Class F over 2700m at Avranches on August. Has a good rapport with Jean-Yann Ricart so could place
- KANSAS DJOB – Disqualified twice in last three starts, the latest in a Class F at Les Sables D’Olonne over 2,650m on 6 July 2026. Has had two successive disqualifications but hopefully Eric Raffin will be able to keep him focused
- KING STEED – Outclassed the opposition in a Class F at Chatelaillon over 2,500m on 3 August 2026. Won with authority and teamed up with Benjamin Rochard again could prove hard to beat
Summary: KING STEED (14) barely raised a sweat to win last time and is perfectly placed to make it two wins in a row. KADOR DU MONT (11) has had three preparation races and a change in shoe configuration implies he is now ready to compete again. KANSAS DJOB (13) will need to keep his mind on the job but will have the advantage of strong handling. KRONOS ZEN (7) has the form to provide a serious challenge.

- KISS ME SMART – Victorious in a Class F at La Roche-Posay over 3,150m on 9 August 2026. Scored a win on turf last time and even starting on the 2nd row she should be competitive

Summary: The victory of KARLIE STAR (7) last time was never in doubt and it could all come down to whether she keeps her composure during the race. A second win is on the cards. KATHARINA DE MAI (8) looks set to overcome the disappointment of her last disqualification and could be the main danger, especially with lighter shoes in front. KYOHA (3) will benefit from starting at the front and should provide a threat. KOMREVEE DIESCHOOT (10) is proven at this track and must have a chance.

Summary: LAUTREC CARISAIE (8) was hugely impressive when dominating at Pornichet last time and looks capable of following up. LASTRONAUT DANOVER (7) was a convincing winner over this course and distance at the start of the month and is another who should be prominent in the betting. LEON SEVEN (2) can be tricky but possesses undoubted ability. LOOK DE CARA (6) is another with his quirks but has plenty of engine and will be racing in an unfamiliar configuration.

LAVEZZI PEJI (6) was unlucky at Châteaubriant, where she was narrowly beaten by LORETTE UP STAR (10), who finished strongly that day. Both merit plenty of respect.

MATELOT KERYANN (4) had been highly consistent before his disqualification on June 7th and deserves another chance. METEOR JALLERIE (1) should not be judged too harshly on his latest effort after winning on grass the time before.

Summary: NYDAM DE FELLIERE (8) made a quiet comeback in harness racing with this race clearly in mind and, in a field containing plenty of uncertainties, offers the strongest guarantees. NICO DU RIB (10) always gives his best and looks a solid second choice. NOSCAVIVA LUDOISE (4), racing in lighter shoes could get involved with the finish.
