R1 – PX IDAC INTERP.(PX H. D.MONTESQUIEU – LONGINES FEG. W.CHAMP. FOR GR) – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Handicap Claiming – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. WASACHOP – Honest campaigner who regularly gets in on the action. Dangerous to dismiss
back in the category of his last success
2. TOUR D’ECHELLE – Has blotted her copybook recently with a pair of moderate outings but looks
well placed here back in a handicap off her current mark. Redemption awaits
3. ALMANARAH – Consistent for the most part so should not be condemned for her last-start
failure. Capable of better
4. YAKAMETTE KOUKEBAK – Unreliable but seldom far off the mark on a going day. Hard to trust
but is not easily ruled out either
5. DOWNEVA – Has been inconsistent of late although has shown sufficient means to play a leading
role here, despite cutting back in distance
6. BANKSY – Has been struggling for some time now and is unlikely to trouble the judge, so can
be ruled out. Others preferred
7. JASMINA – Maintaining a fair level of consistency but has no more of a place chance in this
grade/company. Must raise her game
Summary : TOUR D’ECHELLE (2) was disappointing last time in a claiming race but is well placed
here and has a great opportunity to make amends in this opening event handicap, having already
proven herself off at this value. DOWNEVA (5) lines up here in good shape and is likely to pose a
threat, ahead of ALMANARAH (3) and WASACHOP (1) who are also capable of getting into the
picture.
SELECTIONS
TOUR D’ECHELLE (2) – DOWNEVA (5) – ALMANARAH (3) – WASACHOP (1)
R2 – PRIX DE LA VILLE DE SAINT-GATIEN-DES-BOIS (PRIX DU HAUT BOIS) – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. DIZZLE DAZZLE – Has shown signs of improvement recently but will need to raise her game a
level to play a role here
2. RANEVSKAYA – It was not unworthy during its first two outings and seems capable of getting
on the podium.
3. MISS DABIRSIM – Open to improvement having finished 6th on debut. Would’ve gained plenty
from that experience and should have more to offer
4. SHAMARKAND – Well-bred Harzand colt representing formidable connections (His Highness
Aga Khan). Francis-Henri Graffard trains, Mickaël Barzalona rides
5. BLOOMEREC – Well-related Recorder colt whose sister Tertuliane Bloom has revealed aboveaverage ability. Maxime Guyon aboard
6. CONTENTIOUS SOUL – Tony Piccone rides this gelded son of City Light on debut for trainer
Paul De Chevign. Best watched for now
7. YELLOW BRICK ROAD – Galiway newcomer whose connections have appealed to jockey
Christophe Soumillon to partner this colt. Keep safe
8. REVALITE – Newcomer to note with Cristian Demuro engaged to ride this Ludovic Gadbintrained Toronado filly. Beware
Summary : A hard race to assess but it could pay to take a chance on newcomer SHAMARKAND
(4), who is out of the well-performed Group III winner Shamkala. Well-related BLOOMEREC (5), a
brother to the useful Tertuliane Bloom, and the experienced RANEVSKAYA (2), who improved last
time, are likely to challenge. YELLOW BRICK ROAD (7), with Christophe Soumillon a noteworthy
jockey engagement, is another to keep an eye on.

R3 – PRIX VINCENT DE GOURNAY – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Newcomers – Flat – EUR € 23.000
1. GILDED DRAGON – Newcomer by Siyouni, the dam won at Listed level. Bold show is expected
from this well-bred colt. The market guide will be informative
2. MOONWALKER – Colt by Taareef, the stable runners are well prepared and this colt can be
expected to be better for this run. watch the betting closely
3. YOUNG GENTLEMAN – A gelded son of George Vancouver, the yard runners are nicely
prepared. Can progress for this outing
4. ROSA TREZY – Daughter of Dream Ahead, has a nice profile and is from a top yard. Market
best guide for clues
5. REIGNSKOTA FAL – Newcomer by Ten Sovereigns, the yard runners warrant respect. Any
market support should be noted
6. SEMENOVKA – Filly by Fas, can come forward for this debut run. The market best guide for
clues
7. LET’S GO GIRL – Filly by Birchwood, the trainer will have prepared this filly well. Can make
presence felt
8. LET ME DO – Newcomer by Recorder, the dam was a useful performer who won at Listed level.
The market best guide for expected performance
Summary : All making their debuts. The son of Siyouni who will be expected to make a winning
debut is GILDED DRAGON (1). His dam was a smart performer who won at Listed level. He could
have a few problems with ROSA TREZY (4) who has a nice profile and ought to be well prepared
for her first day at school. LET ME DO (8) is out of a useful mare who was successful in Listed
Class when racing and this filly needs a careful inspection in the betting market. LET’S GO GIRL
(7) is also one to keep a close eye on.

R4 – PX DE LA BISC.L’AB.(PX DU CL.FLEURI-LONGINES FG W.CHAMP. FOR LADY R.) – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 18.000
1. BONNIE HOPPS – Bounced back to form last time when finishing 2nd, which proved she is
capable of winning a race like this. On the shortlist
2. LIFE’S A BREEZE – Was an authoritative last-start winner at La Touquet and a 2kg penalty is
unlikely to prevent another bold showing
3. ISABELA – Inconsistent mare but her rider, Diana Lopez Leret, is very skilled so an improved
effort may be on the cards. Beware
4. RIVERWING – Erratic mare who is hard to catch right but remains capable of staking a claim in
a race of this nature. All or nothing
5. STAR DRACK – Undeniably capable but has lost his form, which has resulted in his reduced
value/weight situation. Can do better
6. MAKENO – Unreliable though seldom far off the mark on a going day. Out of sorts at present
and hard to trust but is also hard to rule out
7. PRINCE LOS – Has gone off the boil recently with three successive modest showings so needs
reaffirm. Best watched for now
8. JONH FOR ALWAYS – Continues to blow hot and cold, popping up on occasion but often makes
no impression. Who knows what to expect
9. MEHANYDREAM – Has shown signs of improvement in his last two starts so could get a look in
if confirming his progress here. Dark horse
Summary : BONNIE HOPPS (1) fell just short of success last time and she needs only to confirm
that improvement to fight for victory once more. LIFE’S A BREEZE (2) won with force at Le Touquet
in her most recent outing and ought to remain competitive despite a 2kg penalty for that win.
ISABELA (3) and STAR DRACK (5) are inconsistent but are not incapable of having a say too.

R5 – PRIX JOSEPH ET JOBIC SEVERE – 2500m (a1 9/16m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. KANADA DENUO – Won over 2300m at Corlay in mid-July on the only run so far. Sets the
standard
2. KALINA D’ENGILBERT – Unplaced on last run, won before that over 2700m at Erbray in early
July. One to pay attention too
3. KALCA MOME – Fair 3rd over 2300m at Senonnes on only run in late March. Has had a nice
break and ought to have a leading say
4. KRACANT – Newcomer by Gentlewave, can be expected to improve for this outing. Market best
watched
5. KLIMT DES PICTONS – Unplaced last time over 2400m at Saint-Brieuc in mid-May. Has work
to do to feature
6. KONTROVERSE – Unplaced on both runs so far, the latter over 2300m at Durtal in April.
Vulnerable
7. KOLMY – Credible 6th over 2400m at Saint-Brieuc on only run in late May. Cannot be ignored
Summary : KANADA DENUO (1) can make it two wins from only two runs. He scored by 2.5L on
debut and looked like a decent performer. KALCA MOME (3) showed a good deal of promise when
third on his only run at Senonnes in March. Given a nice bit of time, he can have a major say in
proceedings. KALINA D’ENGILBERT (2) was a narrow-margin winner on her debut run at Erbray
and was a bit below par 9 days ago at Vichy. She can have a say if none the worse for her third
run in a month. KOLMY (7) could fare best of the rest.

R6 – PX DU GD ORDRE DU TROU ND,DES CALVADOS,CIDRES,& POMMEAUX(PX DU TREFLE) – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. GEMICI – Inconsistent but has sufficient means to be competitive in this category. Booking of
Mickaël Barzalona must be noted
2. RULE OF THUMB – Has not gone unnoticed in his UK appearances so must be respected here
in his first start on French soil. Beware
3. KHANWEILER – Finished an improved 3rd last time in his first start at this level. Will have a role
to play if confirming
4. TASHKER – Disappointing last start but is better than that outing at a higher level suggests. Has
legitimate claims dropped into this grade
5. LODOVICO – Consistent for the most part and, given his sound form references, ought to play a
leading role here in his first start at this level
6. DEIRA – Improved, despite a tough run in the race, to finish 6th in a competitive field last time
and can confirm that progress by fighting for victory
7. KING MOLLENKOTT – Proven rather unreliable but is seldom far off the mark on a going day.
Hard to trust but not ruled out
8. ETOILE DE BRAM – Finished unplaced and was well beaten on debut. Would’ve gained from
that experience but is best to watch for now
9. MIGNONNE DES PINS – Has looked rather ordinary to this point so her chances appear limited
even at this level. Overlook
10. PITRIZZA – Made no impression in either outing and is unlikely to trouble the judge here on
that evidence. Ignore
11. GAVILLA – Has struggled to find form or spark any improvement so is another unlikely to trouble
the judge here
12. PAQUES TOT – Has shown improvement in recent outings and is quite capable of staking a
claim in a race like this. Dark horse
Summary : DEIRA (6) endured an unfavourable run last time but still managed to finish a creditable
5th in a what looked a good field at Compiègne, so she ought to fight for victory with further
improvement more than likely. LODOVICO (5), however, could challenge her given his form
references and superior experience. GEMICI (1), after a comeback win in Germany, will also play
a leading role with improved fitness on his side, with the shortlist completed by KHANWEILER (3)
and TASHKER (4).

R7 – PRIX JULIEN BROSSAIS – 2500m (a1 9/16m) – TURF – Handicap Claiming – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 12.000
1. ISHRAQ – Three unplaced runs, won before that over 2100m at Chantilly in April. Live chance
2. MIXED MIND – Fair 3rd last time out, and won before that over 2100m at Savenay in mid-July.
Competitive run expected
3. CAPTAIN EAGLE – Nice run when 2nd over 2400m at Nantes last time in early July. Hard to
ignore
4. CANNELLO – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2350m at Machecoul in February. Others
preferred
5. FALMOUTH LIGHT – Not seen since a 2nd placed run in May 2022 over 2400m in a claimer.
Might need this outing
6. BOORGA – Decent 4th two runs ago over 2400m at Parislongchamp in early June. Ought to be
thereabouts
7. CONCERTO – Has several unplaced runs, the latter over 2100m at Savenay in mid-July. Others
look better equipped
Summary : CAPTAIN EAGLE (3) should be too good for his rivals, he was beaten under a length
at Nantes last time in early July. He will likely have the most to fear from BOORGA (6) who has yet
to get her head in front but has enough talent to make things interesting. ISHRAQ (1) is worth
considering, he won nicely on the PSF at Chantilly in April and is effective on turf as well. He might
be worth including in the place bet permutations. MIXED MIND (2) has been in good shape of late,
winning two runs ago and another pleasing effort when third on his latest run.

1. UNCATCHABLE – Was 4th on debut but a little disappointing when only finishing 5th last time.
Needs to improve to get a look in
2. KAID GALESTE – Improved to finish 2nd last time after a pleasing debut 5th and will be
competitive if able to confirm that progress
3. DANSE S Y – Finished 4th on debut but only managed 5th last time, so needs to raise his game
to play a role here
4. KAHRAMAN – Has the experience and form references to warrant consideration, but has no
more than a place chance
5. VERT GALAND – Made a good debut at this track and that experience will stand him in good
stead here. Will be a factor
6. EL PRO – Has been consistent to this point and, given that form and superior experience, will
fight for victory
7. KELLER DODVILLE – Excellent 2nd on debut at this track and is likely to go one better with any
improvement. One to beat
8. LOVEATFIRSTSIGHT – Showed little to get excited about when well beaten on debut so is hard
to make a case for. Watch for now
9. WURFGEIST – Has finished 5th in both outings, not beaten far. Open to improvement given that
experience so could have a say
10. ON A SOUFFERT – Likely improver after a pleasing introduction (5th) for a stable in good form.
Warrants utmost respect
11. LIGHTNING BOLT – Open to improvement after finishing a modest 7th on debut but others
make more appeal. For another day
12. MOON DASH – Caught the eye on debut when finishing 4th and would’ve made progress since.
Will have a role to play
13. SIR WESTMINSTER – Runner-up on debut but was found wanting last time (9th) when failing
to confirm earlier promise. Can be ruled out here
Summary : On the form of their meeting in the Prix Matahawk at this track last month, KELLER
DODVILLE (7) finished a clear 2nd and had VERT GALAND (5), MOON DASH (12) and ON A
SOUFFERT (10) well behind him. He should his superiority with a likely threat to come from EL
PRO (6). Of the remainder, KAID GALESTE (2) makes most appeal.

R9 – PRIX DE LA SOCIETE DES COURSES DE NANTES – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. GET SET – Won two runs ago over 1800m in late June at Parislongchamp. Can make an impact
2. ENDLESS CHAIN – Ran 3rd last time over 1700m in March at Pornichet. Capable of making the
frame
3. ON LOCKDOWN – 3rd over 1600m on the last run on July 20th. Others make more appeal
4. VINO BELLO – Unplaced on the last couple of runs, 3rd before that over 1950m in late April.
Others make more sense
5. HENOUVILLE – Unplaced latest run, 3rd before that over 2000m at Saint-Cloud in mid-June.
Place claims
6. THE LAWYER – Not seen since December when unplaced over 2100m at Pornichet. Might need
this return outing
7. DELTA SPIRIT – Unplaced on the last two runs, 2nd before that over 1650m at Craon in midJune. In the mix
8. L’AIR DU TEMPS – Placed on the last three runs, the latter a 2nd place over 1400m at
Clairefontaine in early July. Player
9. MINOTAUROS – 3rd three runs ago over 1650m at Craon in mid-June. Likely to be a threat
10. BOKEN – Good 2nd last time over 1950m at Chateaubriant in mid-July. Bold run expected
Summary : The extra 400m could play to the strengths of L’AIR DU TEMPS (8) who ran well when
second over 1400m last time when beaten a neck. He can get the better of BOKEN (10) who has
been running well over slightly further than today’s journey. The minimal drop back in trip should
be of no issue and he gets in off-bottom weight. HENOUVILLE (5) should be given plenty of respect
and she can make the frame. DELTA SPIRIT (7) does not appeal as the likely winner but does look
the best of the remainder.

1. AMNERIS – Ready to break through now and open her account after several near misses. Will
have her supporters
2. NORMFLUCHTIGE – Likely to have made progress after an introductory outing and benefits
from her rider’s allowance. Watch
3. KEEP AHEAD CLERMON – Open to improvement after finishing 5th on debut, from which she
would have gained a lot. Keep an eye
4. GALISIA – Finished a well-beaten 8th on debut and, while likely to improve, is best watched for
now. Outsider
5. DESPONA – Made big improvement last time, finishing 2nd after a debut 8th. Must confirm that
progress to have a say
6. RECOLETA – Has looked rather ordinary to this point so her chances are limited even at this
level. Others preferred
7. ISIS D’INOR – Seldom finishes far off the mark and will benefit from her rider’s 1,5kg allowance.
Has a place chance
8. TIYMARA – Has looked rather ordinary to this point so her chances are limited even at this level.
Others preferred
9. BELLBIRD – Made no impression on debut but is likely to have come on appreciably since that
outing. Must not be underestimated
10. FLORA QUEEN – Finished a surprising 3rd in the reference race here and could have a role to
play if confirming that form
11. SIREN – has both the form and experience to be competitive, so should have a role to play. Not
taken lightly
12. ALTESSEROYALETAVEL – Non partante
13. PARTNUN – Finished an encouraging 2nd on debut at this venue so with any improvement
should fight for victory
14. SAANEN – Has looked rather ordinary to this point so her chances are limited even at this level.
Others preferred
Summary : AMNERIS (1) enjoyed a good first half of the year and should open her account sooner
rather than later, but to do so here, she will have to get the better of PARTNUN (13), runner-up 2nd
in the reference race, and SIREN (11) who has the benefit of a little more experience. BELLBIRD
(9) is a student of André Fabre and is likely to improve after a discreet introduction. ISIS D’INOR
(7), NORMFLUCHTIGE (2) and FLORA QUEEN (10) complete the shortlist.
