Race 1

1. GOLDEN RAJSA - She has won five times from thirty runs including one of these in a Class 2 handicap on the polytrack at Chantilly in April. Course and distance winner is respected here

2. STRONG AND STABLE - One win from just ten career starts which came in a Class 2 handicap over course and distance here in April. Eleventh of sixteen behind Lanana in a Class 2 handicap at Clairefontaine last month

3. LADY SIDNEY - A five time victor from forty nine run and rarely ran a poor race before finishing thirteenth in a Class 2 handicap at Deauville in July. Better fifth at Clairefontaine last month

4. RIDAA - Made a big improvement from her debut here in June to win a maiden at Vichy in July and a Class 2 race over this trip at Clairefontaine last month. Interesting on handicap debut

5. MOTIVAROOM - Successful in a conditions race at Marseille Vivaux in July and easy six length winner over 1950m at Chateaubriant last month. Raised 2.5 Kg today but is respected

6. SILVER CAPE - Missed most of 2018 but returned in decent shape earlier this year. Second in a conditions race at Nort-Sur-Erdre last time out in May. Stiff test today

7. LA POUTANESCA - A three time winner from twenty eight outings. Won on debut this season and three other very good placed efforts as well this term before an unfortunate fall at Lion-D'Angers last time out

8. ATTIRANCE - Won a Class 2 handicap over 2200m at Clairefontaine early last month and was a good runner up under a 3.5 Kg penalty at Deauville last time out. Not ruled out

9. HOLDBACKTHERIVER - A dual winner from fourteen runs and the second of those came in a handicap at Saint-Cloud last November. Running very nicely since then and has a shout here

10. ROKSANEH - Placed in a couple of big handicaps last year off a higher mark. Disappointing on her reappearance in a Class 2 handicap at Clairefontaine last month. Needs to reaffirm

11. QUEEN MORNY - Finally off the mark when winning a claimer at La Teste Buch in June and followed that up with two more wins in a claimer and handicap at Deauville. Up 3 Kg after her latest success

12. DRAGONESS - Runner up in her first two starts and third behind Lamu in a maiden at Clairefontaine last month before winning at Saint-Malo last time out. On a fair mark for her handicap debut

13. SAGA DAYDREAM - A winner over 2300m at Madrid last time out in June. Yet to win in France after six runs although she was placed in three of those. Faces a tough test here today

14. ZAVERNA - A six time winner from thirty six career starts including a hard fought success in a Class 2 handicap over this trip at Clairefontaine last time out. Raised 2.5 Kg today

15. CREATIVITY - One success from eleven outings. Just the three starts so far this season and she was a fair fifth of fifteen behind Lanana in a Class 2 handicap at Lion-D'Angers last time out

16. MISS SPRINGSTEEN - Runner up on her debut at Fontainebleau in March and was fourth in a maiden there in April. Disappointing in her last three and needs to improve from those

Summary

The big betting race of the day and as usual it is completely wide open. There is an interesting bet however. The totally unexposed and only four times raced (12) DRAGONESS can only further improve following her win at Saint Malo last month. She was placed in her three previous three runs. (9)

HOLDBACKTHERIVER looks a big threat. (8) ATTIRANCE should also show up well. (5) MOTIVAROOM could well be involved along with (4) RIDAA.

Selections

(12) DRAGONESS - (9) HOLDBACKTHERIVER - (8) ATTIRANCE - (5) MOTIVAROOM - (4) RIDAA - (1) GOLDEN RAJSA - (2) STRONG AND

STABLE - (15) CREATIVITY

Race 2

1. SHAKEN NOT STIRRED - One win from four starts which came in a maiden at Clairefontaine early last month

2. ASHTARA - A winner on her debut at Fontainebleau in May and ran well in a Group Three at Chantilly in June. Consider

3. PRINCESSE MATHILDE - Sixth of seven behind Star Terms in a Listed race at ParisLongchamp in July. Place chance

4. MARYLIN - Scored at Cagnes sur Mer in February but will need to improve from her latest effort at Deauville

5. AHESTA BERO - Impressive winner on his debut at Saint-Cloud last year and two good efforts on the PSF after that. Consider

6. HOOKING - All three runs came at Lyon Parilly last year and was a fair fourth in a Listed race there last September

7. ARIKI - Improved from her debut with a good win in a maiden on the PSF at Deauville last month. Respected

8. SUNLIGHT - Debut winner at Vichy back in May. A little disappointing at Clairefontaine last month

9. CALDERA - She won a maiden at Senonnes in April and a claimer at ParisLongchamp in May. Not recommended

10. TILDA - Posted a good second on her re-entry at Saint-Cloud last April but not so good last time out

11. BILLY DE LA ROCHE - Well beaten tenth of eleven on his debut in a maiden at Le Touquet last month. Others preferred

Summary

This is a good class two conditions event for three year olds. (2) ASHTARA looks a very progressive individual having won on debut and then did better to finish fifth in a Group Three at Chantilly last time. Soumillon is doing the steering. (6) HOOKING has a chance for second along with (7) ARIKI and (8) SUNLIGHT who also look interesting.

Selections

(2) ASHTARA - (6) HOOKING - (7) ARIKI - (8) SUNLIGHT

Race 3

1. SILENCIOUS - One win from six starts which came in a Clairefontaine claimer. More required here

2. GOLDMEMBERS - Disappointing last time out in a claimer at Maisons-Laffitte after some fair form before that

3. MUZY - Consistent enough colt who is one win from seven starts. Not without a chance here

4. JAYADEEVA - One win from twelve and has been consistent in the claiming division. Tough test today

5. LOST IN FRANCE - Has done well in claimers with wins at Salon Provence and Croise-Laroche. More needed here

6. MY PREMIER COUNTY - Only career success came in a claimer at Aix Les Bains in July. Can be in the mix

7. IRISH DIANA - By Coach House and is the first foal to run out of a dam that was a winner in the UK

8. VERENY KA - Seldom disappoints but needs to up her game to win. Could sneak in to a place

Summary

(3) MUZY is chosen here. Consistency is always a good trait in an animal and this Penny's Picnic colt scores in that department. He may just about have enough to see off (2) GOLDMEMBERS who does look second best while (1) SILENCIOUS and (5) LOST IN FRANCE are probably best of the others in a contest that looks mundane enough.

Selections

(3) MUZY - (2) GOLDMEMBERS - (1) SILENCIOUS - (5) LOST IN FRANCE

Race 4

1. VARAMINI - Third in a maiden race at ParisLongchamp in June and has a chance if repeating that form

2. PAROUSIA - Runner up in her last two races, both at La Teste Buch. Her turn is not far away

3. EXCLUSIVITE - Four decent runs in maiden races so far this term. From top connections and has a leading chance

4. DESIDERATA - Good second behind Mushayed in a maiden on the PSF at Deauville last time out. Consider

5. GOLDIKA - Creditable third behind Gemma Blu in a maiden on the PSF at Deauville last time out

6. CICCIA - Well beaten last of ten behind Mushayed on her debut in a maiden on the PSF at Deauville last month

7. CANTILIENNE - Disappointing in all three of her career starts to date and needs to improve to feature

8. JETCOLOGNE - Placed in three of her eight career starts in Germany. Tough test on French debut

9. LOLLIPOP LADY - Disappointing in all three of her career starts to date in the UK and others are preferred

10. MEDITERRANEENNE - By American Devil and is the third foal to run out of a dam that has produced one winner

11. SPINALUNGA - Decent effort when sixth of twelve behind Eternal Summer in a maiden at ParisLongchamp in May

12. ROLLI DEL'RAIS - Fair fifth of twelve behind Lamu on her debut in a maiden at Clairefontaine last month

13. GO LADY - Six lengths second behind My Girl on her debut in a maiden at Le Touquet last month

14. ON THE BALCONY - Well beaten sixth of ten behind Wild Rye in a maiden at Le Touquet last month

15. KAKO KORITSI - By Mafki and is the sixth foal to run out of a dam that has produced four winners

Summary

A big field go to post here for this three year old maiden event. The German raider, (4) DESIDERATA, who is trained by Waldemar Hickst, was a very decent second at Deauville last time and her two previous placed efforts were good also.

The tainer excels with his raiders into this country. (5) GOLDIKA and (2) PAROUSIA can fight for second with (3) EXCLUSIVITE also involved.

Selections

(4) DESIDERATA - (5) GOLDIKA - (2) PAROUSIA - (3) EXCLUSIVITE

Race 5

1. MOTAWAAFEQ - Fourth on his debut in a newcomers race here in July and fourth on the PSF at Pornichet last month. Place claims

2. BLUE CUP - One place from four runs so far. Fifth of seven in a maiden at Clairefontaine last month. More needed

3. TRIBHUVAN - Placed in four of eleven runs runs and that may be best hope here too today but could attain that

4. GLORIOUS EMARATY - Runner up three times from eight career starts. Fifth in a Class 2 race at Craon this month

5. VULCANUS - Eight start maiden who finished runner up in a claimer here in July. Stiff test today

6. MUSTAQQIR - By Shamardal and is a full brother to Alrahma who was a Group Three winner at Deauville. Interesting

7. AL JAROUD - Has not run since last November when second of twelve behind Siyak in a maiden on the PSF at Deauville

8. AQUASTAR - By Sea The Stars and is a half brother to Mixed Intention who was a dual Listed winner

9. THE TIME - Well beaten seventh of nine on his debut in a maiden race at Le Touquet last month. Needs to improve

10. JULIUS - Third of seven behind Mafkra on his debut in a maiden at Clairefontaine last month. Respected

11. CARDINO - Third on seasonal reappearance at Fontainebleau in March but disappointed at Saint-Cloud last time out

12. ZEITUNG - Last of nine in a maiden on the PSF at Deauville last time out. More needed today

Summary

A three year old maiden confined to males over the mile. (6) MUSTAQQIR is bred in the purple being a full brother to Alrahma whos is a Group Three winner and his overall page is very interesting. His in form trainer will have him tuned up for this but he will improve as well going forward. (10) JULIUS ranwell on debut and can do better. (1) MOTAWAAFEQ and (8) AQUASTAR have frame claims.

Selections

(6) MUSTAQQIR - (10) JULIUS - (1) MOTAWAAFEQ - (8) AQUASTAR

Race 6

1. VORASHANN - Won on debut at Saint Cloud in June but only sixth at Deauville last time

2. BALLET RUSSE - Just the three runs and a talented sort. Won the middle of those here. Fifth and last in a Group Three last time but much respected

3. JE NE REGRETTERIEN - Very good sort. Four runs and one victory. Excellent third in Group Three at Chantilly last time

4. PURPLE VICTORY - Has won two of four outings including a claimer at Clairefontaine last time out

5. SPARKLE IN HIS EYE - Nice sort in Britain winning one from five. Also one from two in this country

Summary

What a very exciting Class Two conditions staying event for the the three year old's. (3) JE NE REGRETTERIEN certainly looks the best of them judged on her excellent third in a Group Three to one of her very progressive stablemates back in June. She looks hot here. (2) BALLET RUSSE is the very obvious danger. (1) VORASHANN and (5) SPARKLE IN HIS EYE can come in much later.

Selections

(3) JE NE REGRETTERIEN - (2) BALLET RUSSE - (1) VORASHANN - (5)

SPARKLE IN HIS EYE

Race 7

1. LOCAL WHISKY - Won on sole start at Pise in March and should improve off that effort here

2. OYAMBRE - One win from five runs. Runner up on penultimate starts and very much fancied

3. DAATIS - Winner in Germany and looked decent enough. Fifteen lengths third in claimer at Clairefontaine last time

4. PLACE PASDELOUP - All three runs came this season and finished fourth in all of those. Needs more

5. CAMUSOT - Just the two runs which came during summer this year and did show some promise

6. BISCAYA STORM - A dual winner from seven outings in Germany but a few kilos to find here it seems

7. ANECDOTIC - One win from three last year and tried at the very highest level. Fourth on second run this year in April

8. KARMA SEEKER - One win from ten outings. Below par twelfth at Deauville last time out

Summary

This is a claiming race for three year old's. It may be worth risking some of your hard earned on (2) OYAMBRE who hails from the very much in form yard of Mme Pia Brandt. The selection ran better than his final position suggested last time and will be value against the big hitter, (7) ANECDOTIC. (5) CAMUSOT and (8) KARMA SEEKER can fill the frame.

Selections

(2) OYAMBRE - (7) ANECDOTIC - (5) CAMUSOT - (8) KARMA SEEKER

Race 8

1. BEAMA - Half a dozen wins from forty runs. Fourth in Deauville claimer last time out

2. WAR ASSET - Eight time winner from over thirty runs in Italy. One win from seven in Britain

3. MATHIX - Just the one win from thirty eight. Fifth at Toulouse last time out which was fair effort

4. LIPSTICK - Remains a maiden after fourteen runs but has been placed on several occasions to be fair

5. ALBEROBELLO - A three time winner from twenty seven but recent few efforts are a bit of a worry

6. VIKING QUEST - Ten wins from one hundred and forty nine runs. Work to do. Others look better placed

7. GAETANO DONIZETTI - A dual winner from twenty eight but horribly out of sorts when last seen in May

8. RADJA - Four time winner from twenty eight. In more than reasonable form and respected

9. GILYANA - A dual winner from fourteen runs and chance if putting best foot forward here

Summary

A difficult enough looking claiming event here for four year old's and up. (1) BEAMA is joint top rated and ran adequately enough when back to form fourth at Deauville last time and may come on another little bit from that to take this. Many will fancy (4) LIPSTICK and (9) GILYANA while (8) RADJA has a shot as well.

Selections

(1) BEAMA - (4) LIPSTICK - (9) GILYANA - (8) RADJA

Race 9

1. KENAVA - One win from seven which came two starts back at Aix Les Bains. Twelfth last time out

2. MIDGREY - One win from fourteen. Placed in two of last three and fifth at Deauville last time out

3. FREIHEIT - Placed in three of seven runs in Ireland. Thrice a winner from ten i this country. Ninth at Chateaubriant last time out

4. HEADS TOGETHER - A dual winner from twenty six runs. Placed in last two at ParisLongchamp and Chateaubriant

5. OPHELIA'S DREAM - Unplaced in one run in Britain. Placed in last three of five in this country so going the right way

6. DREAM NIGHT - Off the mark on fifth and last start at Clairefontaine so bang in form and confident

7. MAGIC SONG - A three time winner from twenty nine runs. Runner up at Clairefontaine last time out so in form

8. SRI PRADA - A dual scorer from twenty two. Placed in two of latest three so bang at it right now

9. FLOR DE SEDA - Remains a maiden after ten but has been placed in half of those. Runner up last time at Chateaubriant

10. PEACEFUL CITY - Four time winner from thirty nine but recent numbers are slightly worrying

11. ESPIONNE - One win from twenty one. In very consistent form. Second at Clairefontaine last time out

12. APRIL ANGEL - A three time winner from forty four but recent numbers are very off putting

Summary

The final race of a very long day and it is a handicap for three year olds and up. (5) OPHELIA'S DREAM seems to be on an upward curve for vey big connections and may well shed her maiden status for very big connections. She seems well weighted for this. (9) FLOR DE SEDA will threaten to break the ice as well. Others to note are (2) MIDGREY and (11) ESPIONNE.

Selections

(5) OPHELIA'S DREAM - (9) FLOR DE SEDA - (2) MIDGREY - (11) ESPIONNE

Horse of the day : Farnice (302)

Dark Horse : Julie du Puy Noir (611)

Race 1

1. SIEGE - Dual winner from 13 on the flat. Yard is not known for producing winners over jumps

2. KIMRIVER - Won a 12f handicap on the flat and should be closely monitored in the betting

3. SANGENNARO - Newcomer by Poliglote out of a dual winner over hurdles. Can get a look in

4. GALLOPING STAR - French half-bred who has posted two creditable efforts on the flat. Respected

5. GEMYSTORY - Well-related newcomer by Gemix and pairs up with Kevin Nabet. Has to be monitored in the baetting

6. HIGH KING - Newcomer by Turgeon who is a half-brother to useful performer Queens Crystal

7. BALLARAT - One place from four starts on the flat. Local betting will provide the best clues

8. TYLAK - Two modest efforts on the flat so far and is unlikely to garner much support

9. GAMIN D'OUDAIRIES - One win and one second place from two starts on the flat. Big expectations on hurdling debut

10. NAAQDAW DEL RAIS - Newcomer by Naqoos who is unlikely to pose a threat. Probably best to be watched

11. BOUQUETIN - Newcomer by No Risk At All. Is a half-brother to multiple Group winner Ambroise

12. GOLD ALLEN - Newcomer by No Risk At All who is a half-brother to multiple winner Saindor. Check betting for clues

13. FIRST SOLDIER - Was far from disgraced in sole run on the flat last July. Bred to succeed over jumps

Summary

The Macaire-trained (9) GAMIN D'OUDAIRIES has shown plenty of promise on the flat and is expected to run a big race first time over jumps. Newcomer (3) SANGENNARO who is by Poliglote is said to have worked well and is probably best to have on the shortlist. (6) HIGH KING is bred to jump and must be respected as well as the well-spoken (5) GEMYSTORY.

Selections

(9) GAMIN D'OUDAIRIES - (3) SANGENNARO - (6) HIGH KING - (5)

GEMYSTORY

Race 2

1. WANT OF A NAIL - Runner-up in all four starts to date including one over course & distance

2. GOLDEN PARK - One time winner from six. Disappointed on re-entry a fortnight ago. Must reaffirm

3. KALMIA - Easy winner ahead of (1) WANT OF A NAIL when off the mark at the venue last July. Player

4. SEDUCTION - Easy winner on hurdle debut at Clairefontaine last month. Steps up in grade with claims

5. GOUTTE DE THAIX - Has made the frame in both her starts at the venue last spring. Respected

6. GAMALINE - Sound winner of a newcomers race at Dieppe back in May. Off since then

Summary

A clear winner ahead of (1) WANT OF A NAIL at this venue in July, (3) KALMIA has always been well-regarded by her connections and is sure to gather a lot of support. Guillaume Macaire's filly has always found one too good so far and that could just be the case today again. Both (4) SEDUCTION and (6) GAMALINE are worth some consideration.

Selections

(3) KALMIA - (1) WANT OF A NAIL - (4) SEDUCTION - (6) GAMALINE

Race 3

1. BEL APSIS - Runner-up to Goliath Du Berlais in his last three starts at Group level. Leading chance

2. FARNICE - Has improved nicely in this code last spring and won a Group III chase ahead of (7) FEU FOLLET in his most recent start

3. FIGUERO - Won two consecutive chases before finishing fifth to Goliath Du Berlais in a Group I in May

4. PORTO POLLO - Consistent performer over both hurdles and fences. Has a lot of experience and can get a look in

5. KAPDAM - Showed early promise before flopping in a Group II chase in April. Off since then

6. KING ELVIS - Dual winner over fences. Could finish only sixth in the Group I Prix Ferdinand Dufaure last May

7. FEU FOLLET - Impressive winner of a Group I over hurdle last May. Second to (2) FARNICE in a Group III chase in June. Off since then

Summary

An impressive winner of is last two starts over the fences, (2) FARNICE made little work of (7) FEU FOLLET in the Group III Prix La Perichole and looks the one to be on in this competitive chase. (1) BEL APSIS will not have to cross swords with Goliath Du Berlais (off to stud) anymore but still face a very stiff opposition. (7) FEU FOLLET and (3) FIGUERO have to be respected.

Selections

(2) FARNICE - (1) BEL APSIS - (7) FEU FOLLET - (3) FIGUERO

Race 4

1. IMPERTINENT - Modest performer on the flat so far and is hard to make a case for on hurdle debut

2. SURELY MOTIVATED - Seven start maiden on the flat who was previously trained in Germany. Watch betting for clues

3. SAINT CHELY - Easy winner of a bumper at the end of last month. Half-brother to multiple NH winner Sainte Saone

4. LOOK AROUND - Not sighted in sole run on the flat in August. See betting for clues

5. ELMADAM - Newcomer by Martaline out of successful mare Eladame. Has to be respected

6. HUBERT DES FRESNES - Never a factor on debut on the flat at the end of June. Hard to assess

7. GRACE A DIEU - Won first time out on the flat but was unplaced in next three outings. See betting for clues

8. VOLKOV JELOIS - Newcomer by Vol De Nuit who is a half-brother to multiple NH winner Hilton Jelois

9. LE BERRY - Newcomer by Gemix out of a mare that was fourth in a Group III on the flat

10. GAGNEUR - Newcomer by Coastal Path out of Suite who was a winner first time out over jumps

11. RES SOLIS - Unplaced in sole run on the flat. Half-brother to multiple NH winner Rasango

12. GARDE SAINT - Newcomer by Kapgarde out of a dual winner over jumps and has to be respected

13. GALAZANO LE DUN - Newcomer by Muhtathir who is a half-brother to dual NH winner Albama Le Dun

Summary

(9) LE BERRY is a well-spoken son of French Champion hurdle dual winner Gemix. He will be fit and ready to go so could be a serious candidate for success. The well-related (5) ELMADAM will also be in top condition and is another one for the shortlist. Guillaume Macaire is double-handed in this line-up with (3) SAINT CHELY and (2) SURELY MOTIVATED. Both his horses have to be closely monitored too.

Selections

(9) LE BERRY - (5) ELMADAM - (3) SAINT CHELY - (2) SURELY MOTIVATED

Race 5

1. DEAL BAIE - Enjoyed a productive 2018 season in this discipline but is off since October and may need the run

2. ECHO SACRE - Dual winner from five start in this code. Off since November 2018 but scored on re-entry last year

3. EMBRUN D'OUDAIRIES - Yet to win a race over jumps but has made the frame on both starts over fences this season and should be hugely respected

4. ENIOCANTO - Has struggled over hurdles all season. Not easy to back switching to the fences now

5. DOUX DINGUE - Course & distance winner who has not been seen at his best this year yet. Question mark

6. EDWARD - Has shown early promise in this code. Off since April but a player all the same

7. DICLA - Has won two from five in the provinces this year. First run at Auteuil

8. DAFFODIL ROSE - Has hinted at ability in the provinces last year. Pulled-up on re-entry and must show vast improvement

9. ECHO DE CHAMPDOUX - A triple winner over hurdle last year. Two solid effort over fences this term. First run at Auteuil

10. EN AVANT BAYONNE - Erratic horse who fell in only start this season. Others make more appeal

Summary

(3) EMBRUN D'OUDAIRIES has made the frame on both his starts over this course and distance this season. He is a very consistent horse who can run well fresh and is likely to take all the beating. (2) ECHO SACRE won on re-entry last year and is definitely one to take into consideration as well. (6) EDWARD and (9) ECHO DE CHAMPDOUX look interesting too.

Selections

(3) EMBRUN D'OUDAIRIES - (2) ECHO SACRE - (6) EDWARD - (9) ECHO DE

CHAMPDOUX

Race 6

1. TAP TAP BOOM - Finished third at 79/1 in a Group III hurdle last spring at Auteuil. Modest re-entry on the flat at Deauville last month

2. LE MANS - Four time winner over jumps. Off since March and unlikely to be fully fit

3. MISS SALSA BLUE - Has not won for some time but enjoyed a good 2018 at Group level. Not in the same form this year though

4. BOY ROYAL - Dual winner from six over hurdles. Off since April but should be close to his peak form

5. CELTINO - Smart dual-purpose gelding who is off since early March. No blinkers today so unlikely to be fully fit

6. MARLONNE - Very effective over hurdles last year and was placed twice over fences this term. Off since June

7. MAN OF PLENTY - UK raider having his first run on French soil. Modest last efforts and not easy to back

8. ARAGORN D'ALALIA - Ten time winner from forty-seven. Has never run off such a long break. See betting for more clues

9. BLASIMON - Runner-up in an identical race at the venue last May. Best to forget last run over fences

10. CHAHUTEUR - Smart horse over the fences. Has not won over hurdles since October 2016

11. JULIE DU PUY NOIR - Won a competitive contest over course & distance last time out in April. Off since then

Summary

(3) MISS SALSA BLUE has probably not been seen at the top of her game this season yet but she is the class act in this contest and should resume winning ways. A winner of three of his last four starts, (5) CELTINO has won off a break in not such a distant past and should be closely monitored too. (6) MARLONNE and (11) JULIE DU PUY NOIR are worth a look in.

Selections

Race 7

1. POLY GRANDCHAMP - Experienced individual who won a Listed chase over course & distance by twelve lengths last June

2. MONTGEROULT - Won the Group III Prix du President in April. Disappointed in next start in a Group II

3. ROXINELA - Consistent mare in this code. Finished fourth in the French Gold Cup back in May. Off since then

4. STORM OF SAINTLY - Won the French Gold Cup in 2014 and was runner-up in 2015. Has had issues since then

5. EDGEOY - Useful chaser who has never won at this level of competition. Not a priority

6. DALIA GRANDCHAMP - Except for her last run, has generally been consistent over both hurdles and fences at the hightest level. Respected

Summary

This is a very open race ! An easy winner of a Listed chase over course and distance in June, (1) POLY GRANDCHAMP generally runs well fresh and certainly has a leading chance. Stablemate (6) DALIA GRANDCHAMP has not been seen at her best this season yet but she has a lot of class and can bounce back. (3) ROXINELA and (4) STORM OF SAINTLY can be in the shake-up.

Selections

(1) POLY GRANDCHAMP - (6) DALIA GRANDCHAMP - (3) ROXINELA - (4)

STORM OF SAINTLY

Race 8

1. STARKHOV - Has enjoyed a productive season over fences and is one to watch back over hurdles

2. DIVA D'ATHOM - Has shown big promise in this branch of the game last March. Must be respected on handicap debut

3. DOCTOR FONTENAILLE - Opened account over hurdles a fortnight ago at the venue. Has a six pounds penalty to defy

4. CLONDAW CIAN - UK raider who has posted some fair efforts over fences this season in France

5. KAMI KAZE - Three time winner over this course & distance but pulled-up in last two and must reaffirm

6. KLAUS YOUR EYES - Comes in on the back of two consecutive successes in the provinces. Has it all to prove at Auteuil

7. CALCIUM - A promising sort in his early days but needs to show vast improvement after poor re-entry run

8. MAIRY GOLD - Runner-up in a modest condition hurdles last time out in April 2018. Off since then

9. TAKE TWO - A winner over hurdles back inn 2016. Won a handicap chase at Angers in April. Off since May

10. LE METEQUE - Not devoid of ability and looks very competitive off this mark. Can get a look in

11. EASTER BOY - Just the one win on the flat. Showed ability over hurdles last back end

12. GUERLIN - Twenty-two start maiden who is very hard to make a case for on paper. Ignore

13. SANTANA DU BERLAIS - Erratic gelding who has not won a race since June 2018. Competitive off this current mark though

14. LASCAR GRIS - Showed some progress in a claiming hurdles last time out at Compiegne. More is required today though

Summary

The lightly-raced (2) DIVA D'ATHOM seems on a fair mark on handicap debut and should be fit enough to play a prominent role in this line-up. (1) STARKHOV should enjoy the switch to hurdling after his recent disillusion over the fences. (3) DOCTOR FONTENAILLE has been penalized six pounds for his recent success but seems to have more to offer.

1. FOR LOVING YOU - Moderate type with little love for Vincennes and will have her work cut out

2. FLECHE DE FEU - Capable but has proved to be a handful and in current shape can be overlooked

3. FULL MOON DRALIAM - Capable filly but not at her most productive of late. Needs to reaffirm

4. FIBULE DU VIVIER - Disappointing in last couple of runs but remains capable of so much better. Respected

5. FUGEES - Knows how to win, remains barefoot and should be competitive racing unshod

6. FRESCATY D'ICELEA - Excellent servant that always gives her best. Can challenge for a spot on the podium

7. FESTA DES VALS - Consistent servant who remains in good form. Will give this a good go

8. FELINE DE LA FYE - Undeniably capable but has shown better aptitude for the other discipline and is not a priority here

9. FLORA BLUE - Unreliable but does pop up on occasion and remains unshod. Place chance

10. FUTAIE D'ERPION - Disappointing in last three starts but is capable of so much better. Must reaffirm

11. FLICKA DU SKY - Consistent for the most part but was disappointing last time out and must reaffirm

12. FEE ZIA DE NAPPES - Fit and well and has some fair recent form. Has earning potential

13. FIESTA FROMENTRO - Well tried this year without winning but is seldom far off the mark

14. FEEL SMART - Erratic but capable sort who could have a role to play on her

best form

15. FUNTANONE MAG - Opened her account at 14th attempt three starts back but has been sanctioned in both starts since

16. FANTASIA LOVE - Delicate but has ability in spades and on good behaviour could play a role here

17. FOLIE DE CRACK - Can trot on a good day but out of the picture this year. Others preferred

18. FEE DE CERISY - Has not won for some time but is useful in both codes and could pop up if in the mood

Summary

(7) FESTA DES VALS continued her good form with an eye-catching effort at Cabourg last time and should enjoy this course. Barefoot for the first time and with Franck Nivard in the kart, she is preferred to (4) FIBULE DU VIVIER who also left a favorable impression on the Normandy Coast and, on that evidence, could pose a threat. Both (6) FRESCATY D'ICELEA and (5) FUGEES are consistent sorts who are unlikely to be far off the mark either, although several others could have a say too.

Selections

(7) FESTA DES VALS - (4) FIBULE DU VIVIER - (6) FRESCATY D'ICELEA - (5)

FUGEES - (3) FULL MOON DRALIAM

Race 2

1. GODINE DE VALFORG - Kicked off her career with two impressive victories. Holding form but more needed here

2. GRANITA BELLA - Quality filly who gets better. Rewarded for consistency last time and should be competitive

3. GLORIA DELLA MARIA - Kicked the year off well but has since gone off the boil. Will have few takers

4. GRACE DHELPA - Showed early promise during the autumn but has disappointed since and appears to have her work cut out

5. GREATEST GAME - Seldom far from the action when applied and can get a look in if she keeps her action together

6. GALIKA DE VANDEL - Complicated but has merit. Yet to show appreciation for long course though - watch for now

7. GLORIA D'IRATY - Useful type but tends to show more at a lower level and unlikely to shake things up

8. GAZELLE DU BOURG - Long-time maiden who tends to run in and out of the minor money placings

9. GOULETTE - Fine filly when applied and is clearly in excellent shape. Can impose if maintaining stride

10. GLINDA - Has demonstrated decent aptitude for the game and been in good form of late. Consider

11. GODIVA MATCH - Has struck a purple patch of form recently and found only one better in her hat-trick bid last time. Player

12. GRAVITY DELO - Can trot on a going day but is sanctioned more often than not. Watch for now

13. GUTSY - Talented sort who does well when applied but is too often ill-disciplined to trust

14. GEANTISSIME - Complicated type who was sanctioned last time but has been in good form. Player

Summary

Good race. (9) GOULETTE can prove tricky but proved her worth when winning last time out and a repeat of that effort should see her go close again. (11) GODIVA MATCH found only one too good in her hat-trick bid recently and on current form is likely to play another leading role in this.(14) GEANTISSIME fluffed her lines last time but could stake a claim if bouncing back to earlier form,

while consistent last-start winner (2) GRANITA BELLA is well placed to make her presence felt again. Several others could also have a say.

Selections

(9) GOULETTE - (11) GODIVA MATCH - (14) GEANTISSIME - (2) GRANITA

BELLA

Race 3

1. GEANT D'OCCAGNES - Respectable since re-entry. Is no champion but can figure prominently from ideal spot

2. GUERRIER DE BRETT - By no means the best horse here but drops to a more reasonable level. One to note

3. GETEHI DU NOYER - Last-start winner. Takes on stronger here but not without a chance. Watch

4. GOODBOY OF MY LIFE - One win from 11 starts which came at Avranches in July. Well beaten in three starts since

5. GOLD DU METZ - In good form and looks distance suited. Can fight out the finish again

6. GALILEO CREEK - Delicate but did win his last completed race and on that evidence could pose a threat

7. GADGET DU LOUVET - Won his last two starts and should have a role to play if running to recent form

8. GALI GAME - Consistent enough sort but will need to show marked improvement to threaten these

9. GAUGUIN MAZA - In good form when keeping stride and will pose a threat here if applied. Respect

10. GALAHAD DES BAUX - Yet to show any aptitude for either code and can be confidently disregarded

11. GROSS DAIRPET - Finished 2nd on debut but sanctioned in both outings since. Must reaffirm

12. GOSPEL TRUTH - Tricky but he is capable when focused and is not without a chance of a place today

Summary

(5) GOLD DU METZ has filled the runner-up berth in his last two starts but been beaten by two bright prospects on each occasion. He should go one better in this lineup and score at the expense of (9) GAUGUIN MAZA who will be looking to make amends after a last-start sanction, having won two of his previous three starts. Hat-trick seeking (7) GADGET DU LOUVET appears best of the rest.

Selections

(5) GOLD DU METZ - (9) GAUGUIN MAZA - (7) GADGET DU LOUVET - (1)

GEANT D'OCCAGNES

Race 4

1. ELO D'ARCY - Has been out of form for over a year so easily passed over. Others preferred

2. FICTION CASTELETS - Has ample ability but is very complicated and is not an obvious choice

3. FINGER DE RODREY - Can prove a handful but has decent ridden references. Will need to improve to feature today

4. FEERIE DARCHE - Yet to win a race but seldom far off the mark and has earning potential

5. FLIBUSTIERE - Has taken superbly to this specialty and must be taken seriously. Player

6. ET MAINTENANT - Rarely gets his nose in front but has encouraged in this discipline. Place chance

7. FOUDRE DAIRPET - Blows hot and cold but useful when focused. WWill not be far off the action and has a minor place chance

8. FASTER SYGA - Complicated but has won under these conditions and can play a minor role

9. FOSCA LUDOISE - Faithful for the most part in this discipline and has won at Enghien in this code. Outsider

10. ESCONDIDO - Quality individual in this code and adores Vincennes. Not to be underestimated

11. ERMINE DU LUDE - Hard to fault when racing unshod behind, which is not the case here. Will have her supporters though

12. ELDORADO DREAM - Can show a lack of discipline but is presently in fine form. Must be respected

13. EVIDENCE FLY - Fine servant in this code and will be at peak fitness. Unshod behind with Raffin in the saddle, will have her chances

14. EDITION GOLD QUICK - Sanctioned last time in her hat-trick bid but boasts an excellent record under the saddle and could make amends

Summary

(14) EDITION GOLD QUICK left huge regrets after faulting in her hat-trick bid here last time and she could set the record straight if applied throughout. However, (5) FLIBUSTIERE acquitted herself well in the Prix Legoux-Longpre recently and in similar form should also challenge for race honours. (12) ELDORADO DREAM, who hit the woodwork last time out, is capable of making

his presence felt although the same could be said of both (10) ESCONDIDO and (11) ERMINE DU LUDE who disappointed last time but remain capable of better.

Selections

(14) EDITION GOLD QUICK - (5) FLIBUSTIERE - (12) ELDORADO DREAM -

(10) ESCONDIDO

Race 5

1. DAGUERRE D'ARCY - Confirmed under harness and well placed to be competitive reverting to this code

2. DONATELLA TERRIE - Too delicate to trust but can trot on a good a day and if applied should be competitive

3. CREON DE LA BESVRE - Unreliable and is battling to win but could have a minor role to play

4. CRACK DE CHRISTAL - Unreliable but does pop up on occasion and could surprise if on a going day

5. COQUINE DU MANOIR - Has lost her way this year and needs major improvement to have a say here

6. CUPIDON DE BASSARD - Remains barefoot but has been struggling of late. Others are preferred

7. DI MAGGIO - Has ability but yet to get into his stride following a lengthy absence. Keep an eye

8. CAPORAL DE LARRE - Ha been very disappointing for some time now so has no realistic chance

9. CAGNOISE D'AGON - A bit disappointing last time out but always gives of her best and could make amends

10. CARINA DU PORHOET - Got back in the game with an impressive last-start success and should have a say on that

11. CHAYANE DE CALVI - Regularly in the thick of things when racing under these conditions. Respected

12. ANTI DOCTOR - Moderate type who has done little of note at this level. Outsider here

13. CALINEKA GWEN - Seldom far off the mark when applied but too unreliable to trust. Others preferred

14. BE CASH MONEY - Unexceptional trotter who has done little of note for some time and can be passed over

15. DIANE D'HOULBEC - Blows hot and cold. Hard to trust but has ability and can not be ruled out

16. AMAZAR DE FLORANGE - Seldom far off the mark when applied but too unreliable to trust. Others preferred

Summary

(9) CAGNOISE D'AGON was still in contention for back-to-back wins when sanctioned last time and, if applied throughout, could make amends. (10) CARINA DU PORHOET was impressive when making light work of her opposition in the north recently and, while she faces a tougher task here, should make her presence felt. (2) DONATELLA TERRIE is unreliable but more than capable of posing a threat too. Both (7) DI MAGGIO and (11) CHAYANE DE CALVI have been disappointing of late but also remain capable of getting a look in.

Selections

(9) CAGNOISE D'AGON - (10) CARINA DU PORHOET - (2) DONATELLA

TERRIE - (7) DI MAGGIO - (11) CHAYANE DE CALVI

Race 6

1. FLAMBOYANT D'ILE - Hard to fault when applied and has the form to make the frame again from ideal spot

2. FORJET VOGOULIERE - Serious sort on a good day and on good behaviour can go close here. One to watch

3. FLAVIUS DE LUBEL - Sanctioned more often than not but capable on a going day. Shoes on though so his chances limited

4. FIGARO D'AM - Has not done enough in each of three starts under harness this year to warrant consideration

5. FESTIN D'AVRIL - Holding impressive winning of late in both codes and should give this a good go again

6. FLYING MOKO - Showed improvement recently in this code but still has no more than a place chance

7. FIGOV DE LA CLOUE - Complicated sort but showed what he is capable of last time and in similar shape will be competitive here

8. FALCO MIL - Seldom disappoints when applied and on good behaviour will not be far off the mark

9. FALCO DES AGETS - Fine trotter in the branch of this business and confirmed under these conditions. Can get a look in

10. FLAMBEUR ROYAL - Last-start winner when switched to this discipline so warrants respect

11. FLYING BRICKELL - Not without merit in the other code but disappointing on the whole this season. Best watched for now switching disciplines

12. FESTIVAL CASTELETS - Can prove tricky but quality element nonetheless under harness. Worth consideration in this code

Summary

Highly regarded and equally capable in both codes, last-start winner (5) FESTIN D'AVRIL rates the one to beat in his hat-trick bid after wins in this discipline and, more recently, under harness respectively. (7) FIGOV DE LA CLOUE is delicate but reaffirmed last time out and in similar form should give cheek. (6) FLYING MOKO, consistent in this branch of the game, and last-start winner under the saddle (10) FLAMBEUR ROYAL could also have roles to play.

Selections

(5) FESTIN D'AVRIL - (7) FIGOV DE LA CLOUE - (6) FLYING MOKO - (10) FLAMBEUR ROYAL

Race 7

1. HILUNA - Newcomer by Ualtar trained, owned and to be driven by Laurent Laudren

2. HUPERLA MAG - Sanctioned on debut but did enough to suggest that she is one to make note of

3. HALTA CRISCANI - Was a creditable 5th on debut and should be wiser to the task now. Watch

4. HELICIANE D'ERABLE - Promising 3rd on debut and with natural improvement can get a look in

5. HYDRE DE LERNE - Has the form to be competitive but needs to show more to pose a threat

6. HARLEY BADREC - Was a creditable 4th on debut and will be wiser to the task now. Another to watch

7. HERMINE GIRL - Has the form to be competitive but needs to show improve to feature. Place chance

8. HERBE VERTE - Put it together to win last time out after consecutive sanctions. Player

9. HERMINE SIBEY - Eye-catching 2nd on debut and with improvement should go close to winning

10. HEVE DE LA NOE - Slightly disappointing last time after debut 2nd. Not without a chance

Summary

Judged on her debut in early August at Enghien, where she recorded a promising time in finishing second, (9) HERMINE SIBEY is most likely to open her account. (8) HERBE VERTE put it all together when winning last time after two sanctions and will pose a threat. (10) HEVE DE LA NOE and (4) HELICIANE D'ERABLE are more than likely to improve so could play a role.

Selections

(9) HERMINE SIBEY - (8) HERBE VERTE - (10) HEVE DE LA NOE - (4)

HELICIANE D'ERABLE

Race 8

1. GRACE DE CARINA - Sanctioned on debut but could have improvement to come with benefit of that experience

2. GREATNESS - Has not anything to warrant consideration. Best watched until improvement is shown

3. GRAINE D'AMOUR - Has done nothing to write home about so is hard to make a case for. Others preferred

4. GLORIA D'AMOUR - Confirmed recent improvement with a last-start success and with further progress should be competitive

5. GARIMA - Showed good improvement when switched to this code last time. More needed now...

6. GALAXIE GEMA - Broke her duck when switched to this discipline last time. Raffin rides - one to watch

7. GAZELLE AU CHALET - Has finished 3rd twice in her two starts under the saddle. Has another place chance

8. GOUAPA JIHAIME - Moderate sort under harness at a lower level and is best watched for now in this code. Others preferred

9. GALACTIQUE MERITE - Has shown promise in this code and could improve further still. One to note

10. GRACE DE CLAIVINCE - Holding form in both codes but needs to do more to play a role. Outsider

11. GENTIANE DU RIB - Tricky type but has left a good impression in this discipline and will get a look in if applied

12. GET LOVELY DELO - Was improving with each start prior to last-start sanction and will have a say in this if applied

13. GOYAVE DARCHE - Not the most productive but seldom far off the action in this code when keeping stride and could have a role to play

14. GINA DE FROULAY - Complicated but demonstrates decent aptitude for both codes. Winner in this code last time so warrants respect

Summary

(6) GALAXIE GEMA made a dominant winning debut in this code last time and will be hard to beat if reproducing that performance here. (12) GET LOVELY DELO, although sanctioned last time, will have more to offer and could pose a threat to the selection on the strength and consistency of her earlier form, although last-start winners (14) GINA DE FROULAY and (4) GLORIA D'AMOUR

should make their presence felt too. (7) GAZELLE AU CHALET, (9) GALACTIQUE MERITE and (11) GENTIANE DU RIB are also capable of getting a look in. Good race!
