- IDYLLE DU PERSIL – A moderate 7th in a Class D over 2,700m at La Capelle on 2 September. she has finished runner-up on four occasions at this course and well placed behind the starting get, she could well have a say in the finish

- IOUPY TOLLEVILLE – Finished 7th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 18 September. Had run some decent races at this track but has been erratic and cannot be relied upon. Racing without shoes this time he could surprise if in the mood
- JOS MAZA – Excellent runner-up in a Class D at La Capelle over 2,700m on 2 September. That was a top run against a classy winner and coupled with his good position behind the starting gate, he does look formidable
- HAPPY PACHA – Finished 9th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 18 September. He has only been moderate of late but does have ability on his day and goes well for driver Alexandre Abrivard. Should not be ignored
- HERMES D’ECROVILLE – Unplaced in a Class D over 2,700m at La Capelle on 2 September. He has not run well at this course and has not won in two years. His form is poor and he is likely to battle

- JAGUAR DU FAN – A moderate 7th in a Class D over 2,850m at Carentan on 6 July. He has good from at this course but has not shown much on recent months. Coming back from a two-month break he does need to prove himself
- GALOPIN DE BIANCA – Finished 7th in a Class B at Feurs over 2,850m on 7 September. He will be racing with plates on all four feet and as a 10-year-old having to start from the second row, he is going to need some luck
- JEWEL TOUCH – Outclassed the opposition in a Class E at Redon over 2,950m on 6 September. He is in top form, goes well for driver Eric Raffin and likes to come from off them so his second row starting position will not be of concern
- INDIGO DU PERCHE – Came home 7th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m on 5 September. That run was against a strong field in a mounted race. He is better than that and must have place propects
- JOYCE DES GRANGES – Came home 5th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 12 September. She rarely runs a bad race, has respectable form at this track and could run into a place
- INTELLO DE CHENU – Finished 13th in a Class E at Sable Sur Sarthe over 2,825m on 9 August. He is not in the best of form and looks unlikely to trouble the stronger contenders
- JAZZ DE PADD – Finished 3rd in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 11 September. Has proven form at this course which makes him dangerous and he has won with driver Alexis Collette in the driver’s seat
- INTREPIDE DES BOIS – Excellent runner-up in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,850m on 11 September. Has finished second in his last four starts and could do again despite his wide starting position
Summary: JOS MAZA (4) has the right credentials to win a race of this nature. He is well positioned on the front row and looks well prepared for this race. Form-wise, INTREPIDE DES BOIS (15) has a similar profile and comes into the race off four successive seconds. He holds JAZZ DE PADD (14) on form but the latter has progressed since then. JEWEL TOUCH (10) comes off three wins in a row but does face stronger. JIBI DU FRUITIER (2) is another in good form and will be looking to cause the upset.

- OASIS DU CHOQUEL – Showed promise and was third in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m on 11 September. There should be progress from that debut run and more can be expected
- OH FAMILY – Disqualified in a Class C over 2,200m at Vincennes on 18 September. She should be forgiven for her last start and deserves another chance
- ODESSA DE MORGANE – Disqualified in a Class D over 2,175m at Vincennes on 11 September. Unlikely to be a threat in this field
- OZANA PRIMA – Came home 5th in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,175m on 11 September. She has not performed badly in both of her starts but will need to find more this time
- OCKNETTE DE CORDAY – A reasonable 4th in a Class F over 2,300m at Bernay on 12 July. She faces stronger this time so could struggle
- OLYMPE DE BELINE – Finished 3rd in a Class F over 2,550m at Reims on 13 September. She has come on nicely since her first run and will be driven by Alexandre Abrivard
- OASIENNE – Finished 7th in a Class C over 2,200m at Vincennes on 18 September. She has been moderate so far and cannot be considered
- OLYMPE KAYZ – A promising 4th in a Class E over 2,400m at Cabourg on 13 September. She put up a decent effort but will need to up her game to compete at this level
Summary: The last performance of OH FAMILY (6) when she missed the start should be ignored as she won with authority on debut and more can be expected this time. OASIS DU CHOQUEL (5) is another who showed up well on debut and should progress for that experience. OLYMPIC MEMORY (3) is another who should be forgiven for her last disqualification as she will have Eric Raffin in the driver’s seat. Well-bred ONE LIFE (2) won on debut and is also worth considering.

- NEO DE FAEL – An excellent 2nd in a Class E over 2700m at La Capelle on 25 August. Will be a massive contender as long as he reamains focused

NEO DE FAEL (7) does not lack talent but will need to stay focused. NOBEL DU CHOQUEL (5) comes off a decent win which has been franked by the runner-up and will again have the services of Benjamin Rochard. NISKO D’ELCE (1) is not out of contention as long as he can keep his mind on the job.

- LOUPIO MENUET – Winner of a Class F over 3,100m at Vibraye on 30 August. Has been running well on turf and could have confidence returning to sand with Alexandre Abrivard in the saddle.
- LEDA SAINT LATUIN – An excellent 2nd in a Class F over 2,725m at Pornichet on 24 August. Has had a second wind since changing to mounted racing and should be right there

- LUANA SPORT – Disqualified in a Class E over 2,100m at Vincennes on September. She has ability and could make her mark racing under the saddle for the first time. Will have plated shoes in front
- LE TRESOR KRAAILO – A disappointing 6th in a Class D over 2875m at Enghien on 23 June. He is better than his last few runs and teaming up with Eric Raffin needs to be kept safe
- LUCAS DE TOURNAI – Disqualified in a Class E over 2,850m at Laval on 0 September. Recent form is moderate and will find it tough to feature
- LUMIO FALL – A decent 2nd in a Class E over 2,800m at Villedieu Les Poeles on 13 September. Has done litte wrong recently but does have more to do in this field
Summary: LLUANA SPORT (11) has her quirks but is not short on talent and could produce a winning performance in her first run under the saddle. LEDA SAINT LATUIN (7) has done little wrong in mounted racing and should be in firing line as should LE TRESOR KRAAILO (12), who is better than his recent form might suggest. LUCIANO VET (4) is another making his debut in a mounted race and has the ability to cause a surprise.

He will need to be wary of the consistent EXPLOIT KRONOS (5). KASSIOPEE DREAM (11), has also won at this course on July 9th so must be respected. KAPITANO DE LOU (15) also has claims.

NORTH RIM (1), a quality reappearance candidate, is the obvious danger to our selection. NOBLESSE DE CORDAY (4) is on the up and an obvious threat. NOTEZ LE (3) would have leading claims if keeping his mind on the job so also deserves a place on the shortlist.

C4 – PRIX HARAS DE LA HAIE NEUVE (PRIX ONDE AMERE) – 3000m (a2m) – TURF – Condition – Flat – EUR € 10,100 - RITANO GUAPO – Finished 3rd in a Conditional at Craon over 3000m on the 5th of September 2026. Showed promise in his first run, should be involved in the finish here
- ESPOIR NONANTAIS – Not disgraced in 4th in a Conditional at La-Roche-Posay over 2400m on the 13th of September 2026. Should show more and go one better here
- FINEST CUP – Came home 4th in a Class 3 at Craon over 3,000m on 5 September 2026. Is capable of improving on his first run and doing well against this line up
- NESTORDELABARRIERE – Dam was unraced and this colt comes from a yard that can ready them up on debut. Can run into the money here
- NOZAY – Dam was unraced and this newcomer doesn’t make much appeal on debut. Will benefit from the racing experience
- MISTER PARAMOUNT – Dam won once over 2200m and this newcomer could be one to keep on the safe side. Follow for any market support
- NOUGAWAY – Dam won one race over hurdles and this gelding is likely headed for a career over jumps. Doesn’t make any appeal
- NIGHT IN BLOU – Dam raced twice without any success and this newcomer makes no appeal first up. Will struggle here
- NEXUS –
- LEVANTIN – This son of Tin Horse fails to make any appeal on pedigree and is the first foal. Will need a few needs to tighten up
- NAUTILUS DU BANCO – Dam was not the most succesful on the flat, but she was not a stranger to the podium over her career. The run is needed
- NATIF DE CARTIGNY – Weak performance in 11th over 3600m at Auteuil in a hurdles event on the 12th of September 2026. Will battle here
- NIGHT DU BREUIL – This daughter of Gris De Gris hails from a yard that aren’t known for debut winners. Others make more appeal
- MELODIE DE VASSY – Dam was unraced and this newcomer is the first foal to run. Yard aren’t known for debut winners and one to pass by
- VENIZZIA – Dam won once over hurdles and it’s no surprise to see her step out over this trip. Could need a run or two
- LIBELA DES BAMBOUS – Dam won twice in chasing races but this filly doesn’t appear an a likely debut winner. One to pass by here
Summary: RITANO GUAPO (1) ran a super race first up and with that experience on his side, he will go very close to winning here. FINEST CUP (3) finished behind the top pick on debut and looks to be held on that but can improve further to earn again. ESPOIR NONANTAIS (2) put up a solid run in debut and has improvement to come which should see him in the money. NAUTILUS DU BANCO (11) makes his debut here for a yard that can get them ready and he warrants plenty of respect.

- IDEAL DU ROCHER – Threatening to win and was runner-up in a Group 3 at this course over 2,775m on 7 September. Can go one place better
Summary: Based on their performances at this track in the Green Trophy Final, IDEAL DU ROCHER (18) and KING OPERA (15) stand out from the field. IRIS DES ROSEAUX (9) is in good form and has the confidence of his trainer, so it would be risky to oppose him. JE VIENS DU SUD (2), a seven-year-old gelding who rarely disappoints on grass, also deserves plenty of respect.

- BRIVIDA FLORE – Dam was a hurdle runner and found the runner up position a couple times in her career. She could be headed for a new discipline after this
Summary: QERDIE DES ROSES (5) has shown good improvement over in his career with 2 successive podium finishes. He will be looking for his first win and can get the job done. NEW BEDE (11) produced an excellent run first up and with more to come, she should be a dangerous player. PACIFIC SKY (3) produced a useful run on debut and looks like the type who will have something to offer here. ZANZARE’S (4) was not disgraced on debut and can run into the money.

- MUST DE BANVILLE – Victorious in two of last three starts, including in a Class D at Vichy over 2,950m on 25 August. Capable of scoring again
Summary: MUST DE BANVILLE (18) is in excellent form and, with Matthieu Abrivard in his corner, should not disappoint. MILORD DE TERNOIRE (4) and MAGIQUE REVAT (10) are both bidding for a fourth consecutive win and it would be risky to oppose either. MAGICO (9) also has the ability to play a leading role in the finish in a race of this nature.

LILLY’S LIGHT (8) has been very competitive of recent and looks to have obvious claims of featuring once again. AUTOROUTE (4) did not have the best run leading up to this race but should still gather interest as she is much better than her last race and should still earn here. SAINTE SARAH (7) was a no show last time out and can return to prior form which saw her challenge.

Summary: ZACHARI (9) ran with plenty of promise on his debut at Parislongchamp earlier this month and with progress expected he can score.

- DANCING EAGLE CEN – Came home 5th in a Maiden at Vichy over 1,600m on 19 August on her second start. Ought to be in the shake-up
- SEASEA DE CERES – Filly by Sealiway, the dam was placed a few times on the flat. Stable runners tend to improve for a run or two. She is best watched with the future in mind

- WINNIE CEN – Filly by Churchill, the dam was placed several times. Nice pedigree and she is one to keep an eye on in the betting exchanges for clues
Summary: HISTORI CHOPE (2) ran a creditable race in a Listed race on her latest start and back in calmer waters today she can shed her maiden tag. Her main danger could be FEEL WELL (4), who has plenty of experience and ran well to finish second on her latest start at Vichy earlier this month.

Summary: CHAI D’OEUVRE (1) won at Toulouse on his latest start with a gutsy effort and has solid claims of making it two in a row. NIKOLAJ (2) could be the one that gives the selection the most concern. He ran with credit at Tarbes when fourth back in May and runs well fresh.

- RAINSILVER – Finished 2nd in a Maiden at Aurillac over 1,600m on 13 September on his most recent outing. Tough task ahead
- OFF TO DUBAI – Back in 8th on his last start over 1650m in a claimer on September 20. He lacks consistency and is best avoided
- ZELZALA – Ran 7th in a Class 3 at Vichy over 1,850m on 14 August on her latest start. Class 4 winner in June and is one to keep safe
- MISS DE PANAME – Unplaced in a Class 3 Handicap at Longchamp over 1,400m on 10 September. Better than her form figures and can be involved
Summary: ALHAMA RIVER (3) is top rated and with Romain Dubord claiming off his back he looks like the most logical winner in this claimer. His main rival could be MISS DE PANAME (7), who drops in class and is better than recent form figures. VALTRADA (1) has strong each-way credentials after five placed efforts recently. ZELZALA (6) won a Class 4 race in June and is worth consideration on her first run in a claimer.

- NOLITO – Second in a Class 3 Handicap at La Teste De Buch over 1,600m on 5 September on his latest start. Top-three chance
- EVERSTAR – Came home 7th in a Class 2 Handicap at Deauville over 1,500m on 20 August and shaped well before that with three placed runs. Player

- STORIA DI ROMA – Came home 5th in a Class 3 at Dax over 1,400m on 23 August on his last outing. He will need a few to falter
- RAPIDO PRESTO – Recent success at La Teste on August 26 in a Class 4 race over 1800m. In the mix
- BARE ELEGANCE – Placed 3rd on the latest start over 1500m at Tarbes in a Class 4 race on August 29. She might find this a step too far
Summary: EVERSTAR (3) ran a creditable race on the PSF in a Quinte+ when last seen and will have no concern back on turf today. He can edge this over NOLITO (2), who was a decent second on his latest run at La Teste earlier this month in a Class 3 handicap behind DULINI (6), who can once again give a good account of herself despite being penalised. RAPIDO PRESTO (8) is one for the each-way backers to latch on to.
