More required today After getting off the mark at Moulins last October (1) DUNE ROUGE won on the sand at Lyon La Soie in November and made it three wins in a row when winning on her reappearance at Nantes this month.

(1) DUNE ROUGE - (2) DEAR MISS - (5) DIVINE MAPOOLISH - (3) EASY TIME

4 Race 3 1. QUEVILLON - Won a Quinte race here last May. Third in a conditions race at Compiegne in September and a close second in a handicap at Maisons-Laffitte in November. Plenty weight here 2.

Looks well handicapped and not ruled out 4. DAYNAWAR - Made rapid progress last year winning three in a row including two handicaps at Maisons-laffitte and shot up the ratings. Not at his best yet this year 5. BUBBLE RANI - Caught the eye in her first two starts at this level. Third here behind Zouk in a Class D handicap last time out in November and can be in the mix again today 6.

BO PAPA - Had a few of these behind when beating Quiet Zain by two lengths here in a Class D handicap earlier this month. Gets a 3.5 Kg penalty for that success which is a big ask today 13.

5 this month and a leading player today 14. BERJOU - Thrice a winner from seventeen including at Cagnes on the sand in January when just scraping home in a claimer. Third and fifth in a Quinte race since and is respected 15. L'ARLESIENNE - Very useful filly on both surfaces. Runner up behind Dubai Dunes in a Class E race at Lyon La Soie last time out. A consistent filly that could run well at a big price 16. WOOTALOVE - Fourth behind Most Empowered in a handicap at Angers last time out in November. Some decent form before that as well but a tough test here today (15) L'ARLESIENNE has only been out of the first four twice in eleven races. She has a few lengths to find with (13) GO FAST from her run at Cagnes last month but the consistent and versatile filly gets a tentative vote to reverse those placings. (5) BUBBLE RANI has been third in both handicap starts which were both at this track and is likely to go close again today. (14) BERJOU and (3) WINFOLA are two more that must be considered. (15) L'ARLESIENNE - (13) GO FAST - (5) BUBBLE RANI - (14) BERJOU - (3) WINFOLA - (1) QUEVILLON - (9) BARON - (12) BO PAPA

6 Race 4 1. BETTING TIP - Easy maiden winner at Lyon la Soie in January and placed in two Class 1 races at Cagnes since. Up in class here 2.

NOT MINE - Won a Class 1 race at Bordeaux last time out in November and can push for a place here 5. TIGER VOICE - Improved when winning a maiden at Fontainebleau this month and must improve again here 6. GYLLEN - Promising debut win on the PSF at Deauville in October and a Class 1 winner here this month. Leading player 7. SAHELIAN - Won a Class 2 race at Angers in October and a good third at Fontainebleau recently. Not ruled out After a debut win on the sand at Deauville in October (6) GYLLEN was disappointing in his next run before getting back to winning ways in a Class 2 race here earlier this month. He can add a Listed success to his name today. (7) SAHELIAN was an easy winner of a Class 2 race at Angers in November and looks the main danger. (2) MASTERPIECE and (4) NOT MINE are next best. (6) GYLLEN - (7) SAHELIAN - (2) MASTERPIECE - (4) NOT MINE

7 Race 5 1. IRON SPIRIT - Won a Class D handicap here over course and distance last year and not ruled out 2. HEIR TO A THRONE - Showed early promise in the UK but lost his way then.

COPACETIC - Placed in four of his nine career runs but well beaten in a Class E claimer at Compiegne eight days ago (1) IRON SPIRIT has some decent form at this track including a win in a Class D handicap at this distance last May. He can run well when fresh and gets the vote today. (5) FAWLEY ran well when fifth in a Class E claimer at Deauville earlier this month and can be in the mix again today. (3) LOUVAIN and (9) MATKEN can make the frame. (1) IRON SPIRIT - (5) FAWLEY - (3) LOUVAIN - (9) MATKEN

8 Race 6 1. DORCIA - Won three races in Sweden last year including a Group Three. Not recommended on French debut 2. TAMELLY - Fourth to Canndera in a Listed race over 2800m here last time out in October. Not without a chance 3.

Place claims 4. SEE YOU SOON - Has some decent form in handicaps and claimers so not totally ruled out here 5. GREY CAVIAR - Capable of running well on best form though this looks a stiff test here today 6. SPIRIT OF NAYEF - He has won three times from twenty three runs but can be left out of consideration here 7. CAZALYS - Two wins from twenty career runs including a Class G claimer at Chantilly seven days ago. Consider 8. GERRARD'S RETURN - Won one race at Mons in Belgium but overall would not be sharp enough here 9. SAO PAULO - Won a Class G claimer at Strasbourg in September and a fair third there this month 10.

Hard to recommend A four time winner in 2017 including a Class D handicap at Fontainebleau in November (2) AMADEUS WOLFE TONE won a Class G claimer at Compiegne earlier this month. He is the selection to continue on his winning ways. (1) BUBBLE BATH is well capable at this level and must be respected. (7) CAZALYS and (4) SEE YOU SOON can make the frame. (2) AMADEUS WOLFE TONE - (1) BUBBLE BATH - (7) CAZALYS - (4) SEE

10 YOU SOON

(3) WAYNE is proven at this level and cannot be discounted. (2) SENEPARK and (12) JAY KULINA are two more for the short list. (14) RAISE THE STAKES is next best. (9) CASCADE - (3) WAYNE - (2) SENEPARK - (12) JAY KULINA - (14) RAISE THE STAKES

Ridden debut (10) FILOUTE DE BASSARD probably met a smart one - in the form of Felixorio - when runner-up on her ridden debut at Angers last week and it will be no surprise if Herve Sionneau's charge goes one better here. Le Mont-Saint-Michel-

14 winner (8) FINLANDE PIERJI is ridden by Eric Raffin this time while (2) FLORAMA caught the eye in qualification. (10) FILOUTE DE BASSARD - (8) FINLANDE PIERJI - (2) FLORAMA - (11) FALBALA D'EM

16 An open contest where plenty have chances. The race here won by 30/1-shot (11) CYBELE DES ILES on March 19 is not a straightforward form line. The winner and fifth - (16) CITY SEES (sent off 4.8/1 second favourite) - both now have to give 25m to (4) CHIVA DES RACQUES who was returning from a fourmonth break and it is feasible that Alexandre Buisson's daughter of Olitro may beat both of them this time. (2) COPACABANA BEACH - who is barefoot for the first time since may also play a part. (4) CHIVA DES RACQUES - (16) CITY SEES - (11) CYBELE DES ILES - (2) COPACABANA BEACH - (6) CIGALE D'ARRY

The erratic (13) EVIDENCIA along with (18) ETHIOPIA and (12) ERIPREE DU GOUTIER look likely to battle it out for the placings.

28 (1) COPERNIC DE PLAY won at this track on March 8 and would have played a major role a week later but for losing rhythm in the closing stages - redemption awaits. (6) BEN DE TORVIC - who completed an autumn hattrick - must be respected on his second run since resuming. La Capelle-third (5) BALZAC DU CHATELET also comes into the equation.

(7) ALMENARA was not disgraced when fourth last time out and could do even better this time. She has a winning chance.(5) GREY FROST and (6) BLACK PRINCESS have bits and pieces of form that should make them competitive. (11) ADJUDANT CHEF - (7) ALMENARA - (5) GREY FROST - (6) BLACK PRINCESS

32 Race 3 1. SHEHAB - In good form and did win latest which was over this track and trip. Gives chunks of weight to rivals 2. GRAND GALA - Likes this course and distance. Good third in latest start.

Must be given respect (1) SHEHAB does very well over this course and distance and will be the one to beat despite picking up a big penalty for his last win and giving chunks of weight away to all his rivals. (2) GRAND GALA is in good heart and should be right there at the finish. (4) JASPER and (5) AKRAM might both need to improve to win but do have place chances. (1) SHEHAB - (2) GRAND GALA - (4) JASPER - (5) AKRAM

33 Race 4 1. MOT DE PASSE - A bit unreliable but does know how to win and has run well over this track and trip 2. ARISTOTE - Has run poorly on this surface recently and needs major improvement to win 3. ROBIN BLOOD - Does well this course and distance and should be right there at the finish 4. FLEURON - Likes this course and distance but recent form has been poor. Best watched for now 5. AMERICAN SONG - Only modest form lately and seems better in claimers. Needs to improve to win 6. LA PLAYA - 20 starts without winning and needs major improvement to win this race 7. BRIAREE - Back on the flat after many jump runs. Bets watched until regaining some form 8.

BRANCAIO - Has been struggling on this surface for a long time. Could prefer the turf 11.

(1) MOT DE PASSE and (8) MILREVES are not completely out of it. (9) WIN ON SUNDAY - (3) ROBIN BLOOD - (1) MOT DE PASSE - (8) MILREVES

34 Race 5 1. MEASURE OF A DAY - Has yet to win and recent form is only fair but must have a chance in this line-up 2. BINGO - Fit and ready for this race Did well over this course and distance last time out 3. METASTRESS - Poor first three runs. Drop in distance could spark some improvement. Might improve 4. ASCOT SPIRIT - A bit disappointing last time. Likely to better back on the PSF. Big chance 5. LUTETIA - Well beaten on debut. Could improve dropped in distance and trying the PSF 6. VILLABONA - Improved last run which was over this course and distance. Has a place chance 7. TISHKA - Much improved last run. Could do even better this time. Deserves some respect 8. DOMNINE - Only modest form shown in both starts but could still improve and play a minor role Mostly lightly raced sorts for this race and any type of result is possible but (4) ASCOT SPIRIT does get the vote. Her first two runs which were both on this surface were promising and her turf run could be forgiven. (2) BINGOis another good ride for Soumillon and should be considered. (1) MEASURE OF A DAY is another that can win. (4) ASCOT SPIRIT - (2) BINGO - (1) MEASURE OF A DAY - (6) VILLABONA

35 Race 6 1. PEACEFUL CITY - Very good form in claimers at this track. Should be right there at the finish 2. SWISS BANK - Continues to do very well in this class and has a big chance of winning 3.

THOUSAND OAKS - Holding from well. More needed to win this race but could finish in the money 6. MOULI - Only fair form shown so far including some Claimers so will need to find a few lengths 7. ROCKY VICTORY - Has yet to win a race after man tries and needs to find a few lengths to win this race 8. FACINATEUR - Fair recent form but will need to do more to win this race. Might play a minor role It is hard to look past (1) PEACEFUL CITY and (2) SWISS BANK for the winner of this race. Both have done particularly well in this division and are suited to this course and distance. We have sided with Soumillon again and (2) SWISS BANK gets the vote to score. The battle for third place is competitive but could go to (3) WOOLDIX (2) SWISS BANK - (1) PEACEFUL CITY - (3) WOOLDIX - (5) THOUSAND OAKS

36 Race 7 1. VIKING'S - Should be competitive off this mark and could fight out the finish Has a chance 2. GREY MIRAGE - Unreliable but is distance suited and is capable of playing a minor role 3. ZORRA CHOPE - Battling to win a race but is fit and could pop up in the places. Place chance 4. VOYAGER - Battling to regain best form and needs to find a few lengths to win this race 5. THE RACER - Returns from a break. Is a course and distance winner so could be the surprise package 6. SPLIT STEP - Well tried this year without a winning success. Needs to find a few lengths to win 7. FULL TALENT - Has been really struggling for a long time now and is very unlikely to win this race 8. PUCE DU RHEU - Battling to regain best form but does like this track and might pop up in the places 9. ROMANNE - Not disgraced when fourth over this course and distance last time out. Go close 10. BE ON THE BELL - Modest form this year and needs major improvement to win this race. Others preferred (9) ROMANNE narrowly missed winning recently and will be looking to go one better this time. (1) VIKING'S has won over this course and distance and has a winning chance in this open looking lucky last race. (8) PUCE DU RHEU is fit and ready for this and might have one last win in her. (4) VOYAGER must also be respected. (9) ROMANNE - (1) VIKING'S - (8) PUCE DU RHEU - (4) VOYAGER

URBANIO - Above-average type with useful form. Can surprise from the ideal starting berth 2. DORIA RAUDIERE - Has done nothing noteworthy in recent starts and can be written off. Overlook 3. DON DIEGO GWEN - Much improved since last summer and looks set to take on better horses at present 4. DANDY DE GODREL - A model of consistency. Should acquit himself competitively will needs to find more to win 5. UNA BELLA GAR - Modest recent form and is unlikely to make an impact under these conditions 6. URALI OP - Modest type that has done nothing of note for some time and can be passed over 7. DIEGO DE BOMO - Remarkably consistent last term. Needed his last run and shoes come off now so better expected 8. DOSTOIEVSKI - Hardy sort. Has three races under his belt this term and with different tactics could make amends 9. DIEGO SAUTONNE - Has shown significant progress in recent times and looks capable of contesting the outcome again 10. SUPER NICE - Has made excellent progress since relocating to France. Arrives in good form - player 11. DUCATO BOURBON - Disappointed last time when expected to give a better account. Can redeem himself 12. DANAE DE LA FRETTE - Talented mare. Failed to fire in two comeback runs but got back on track last time. Respect

38 (11) DUCATO BOURBON fluffed his lines at Caen last time but ran better the bare form would suggest. He will need luck in running from an inside draw on the second row but should he get it could emerge victorious at the expense of consistent (9) DIEGO SAUTONNE. Several others with good recent form could also make their presence felt. They include (10) SUPER NICE runner-up in her last two last-start winner (12) DANAE DE LA FRETTE and (4) DANDY DE GODREL (11) DUCATO BOURBON - (9) DIEGO SAUTONNE - (10) SUPER NICE - (12) DANAE DE LA FRETTE

39 Race 2 1. DANAE QUESNOT - Makes little appeal on current form and is probably best watched for now 2. DOLGA DU POMMEREUX - Capable of earning on best form though recent efforts inspire little confidence 3. DAME DU RIL - Has won two of her last three starts. More to do now but not without a chance 4. DEESSE DE L'OISON - Hardy sort. Unable to express herself last time but looks a serious player 5. DAYLIGHT - Disappointed last time but is better than that run suggests. Not without a chance 6. DEESSE DES NOES - Has been struggling with form lately but she can be the surprise package 7. DUBAI DREAM - In fine form since her return winning two of three. Can complete a hat-trick 8. DOUCE LIGNERIES - No closer than sixth since returning from a layoff in 2017 and can be passed over again 9. DASCALIA - Not always the most dependable but is capable on her day. Outside chance 10. DIVA FERFAY - Has improved significantly since racing unshod and looks capable of grabbing a place 11. DISCOVA - Went through purple patch the end of last summer but lost her way. Improved last run must confirm 12. DATCHA - An enigma - a decent sort who has yet to realise her full potential. Place chance Hat-trick seeking (7) DUBAI DREAM is progressive and looks well placed to go in again.admittedly she will need to raise her game to get the better of (4) DEESSE DE L'OISON who barefoot now will pose a threat having won her only start at this track. Both (5) DAYLIGHT and (2) DOLGA DU POMMEREUX are better than recent efforts suggest so can run into the money. (7) DUBAI DREAM - (4) DEESSE DE L'OISON - (5) DAYLIGHT - (2) DOLGA

40 DU POMMEREUX

41 Race 3 1. ECOSSAIS DE VIVOIN - Rewarded for consistency with last-start success.continues to improve - player 2. ET VOILA QUICK - Good 3rd on hiss comeback but has failed to build on that since. Got little going for him 3. ETNA POLE - Capable of earning on best form though recent efforts inspire little confidence 4. ECLAT DE STAR - Often thereabout but only recently made his comeback and will need another outing 5. ECLAIR BAZOQUAIN - Showed promise last year and confirmed that with a comeback from a three-month layoff. Go close 6. ELIXIR DU RADON - Improved last run at Graignes two starts back but has a few lengths to find here. Outsider 7. EZANO VILLETOT - Lacks discipline but is not short of ability. Can stake a claim if applied 8. EJAG - Totally failed to live up to expectations this winter. Associated with a top driver this time but others still preferred 9. ESTAK GENTIL - Useful type for the most part. Ran with merit on his comeback last time - consider 10. ENVOL D'HARCOURT - Encouraging first start this year but has been rather disappointing since. Outsider (5) ECLAIR BAZOQUAIN confirmed the promise he showed last year with an encouraging comeback win at Mauquenchy. He should have more to offer so can follow up with (7) EZANO VILLETOT his most likely danger. The latter caught the eye on his return to action and ought to have improved with the benefit of that run. Last-start winner (1) ECOSSAIS DE VIVOIN and a fitter (9) ESTAK GENTIL have claims too. (5) ECLAIR BAZOQUAIN - (7) EZANO VILLETOT - (1) ECOSSAIS DE VIVOIN - (9) ESTAK GENTIL

42 Race 4 1. DREHA DE VANDEL - Shed her maiden tag at the 37th attempt but looks vulnerable here. Overlook 2. DIDINE DU DIGEON - Disappointed last time but is better than that run suggests. Not without a chance 3. CANDY OAKS - Smart performer under the saddle but must be shaping up for later entries. Best to pass over 4. DAELIA DE VANDEL - Acquits herself well when applied. Could play a small role - outside chance 5. DOYALE FOR D'AM - Last-start winner who has decent references in this discipline. Can stake a claim 6. DIGITALE - A reliable performer in this discipline. Holding form and should give another good account 7. DAISY MAISY - Course specialist but currently enduring stride issues. Should be in the mix if applied 8. CALINE DE FACO - Undeniably capable but struggled during the winter against better horses. No forlorn hope 9. DAME DE BELLOUET - Impressive in ridden races. Needed last start after a break and should feature prominently (9) DAME DE BELLOUET sets the standard here. She fluffed her lines on her comeback but must be forgiven that effort as redemption awaits. (7) DAISY MAISY disqualified in both starts after a spell on the sidelines is better than her recent form suggests and can pose a threat if applying herself. Consistent (6) DIGITALE and last-start winner (5) DOYALE FOR D'AM both have solid credentials and should be competitive too. (9) DAME DE BELLOUET - (7) DAISY MAISY - (6) DIGITALE - (5) DOYALE FOR D'AM

43 Race 5 1. FUCHSIA D'OCCAGNES - Good last two runs at and has experience on his side. Needs to raise his game 2. FUNAMBULE MATCH - Debut winner at Mauquenchy and open to any amount of improvement. Warrants respect 3. FANFARON DU LOIR - Made a good impression when winning on debut at Cagnes-sur-Mer. More to come 4. FETICHE D'URZY - Kicked his career off nicely but not as productive since and must show improvement 5. FILEAS D'OSMOZ - Successful on debut and has run with merit at Vincennes. Has earning potential 6. FURIANI DE TAVERNA - Good debut winner and confirmed that promise when trying a bit further next time. Player 7. FALCAO DE LAURMA - Built on the promise of a debut 2ndd when winning last time out. More to come 8. FRESH BIDDER - Was not winning out of turn last time and on that evidence should play a leading role 9. FANTASTIC LOVE - Race ready and has the form to be competitive. Won't be far off the action Good race. (8) FRESH BIDDER was not winning out of turn at Bordeaux last time and should have more to come. (7) FALCAO DE LAURMA made the expected improvement in his last start building on a debut 2nd to score at La Capelle. They are likely to compete for top honours along with (9) FANTASTIC LOVE who has the form to pose a threat. (6) FURIANI DE TAVERNA has displayed useful ability so could also have a say although debut winners (2) FUNAMBULE MATCH and (3) FANFARON DU LOIR should be discounted either. Franck Nivard is a noteworthy booking for the latter. (8) FRESH BIDDER - (7) FALCAO DE LAURMA - (9) FANTASTIC LOVE - (6) FURIANI DE TAVERNA

44 Race 6 1. ELMER - Has placed just once from eight career starts and has no realistic chance 2. ELVIS DES LUCAS - Disqualified more often than not but surprised when winning last time. warrants respect 3. ELIXIR DU PARC - Will come on from his last run. Did show ability in this discipline last year 4. ELITO DRY - Tends to go well when not disqualified but remains an adventurous bet 5. EUREKA DE CHENOU - Complicated last-start winner but not without ability. May need comeback run 6. EDEN JOSSELYN - Confirmed recent improvement with last-start success. Has more to do now 7. ELO D'ARCY - Finished a creditable 5th against better rivals last time. Should find this easier (7) ELO D'ARCY held his own against stronger opposition last time and on that evidence should hold too many guns for this lot. The likely dangers appear laststart winners (2) ELVIS DES LUCAS and (6) EDEN JOSSELYN. Both have more to do to follow up but can pick up the pieces should the selection fluff his lines. (7) ELO D'ARCY - (2) ELVIS DES LUCAS - (6) EDEN JOSSELYN - (5) EUREKA DE CHENOU

45 Race 7 1. COCKTAIL WAY - Pleasing effort in a class D at this track three starts ago. Chance if ready on comeback 2. BACCARAT TEJY - Not much room for maneuver but remains capable of grabbing a small place 3. COLONEL CEHERE - Undeniably capable when applying himself but others make more appeal. Outsider 4. BAGDAD - Consistent individual rarely runs a bad race. Should give another honest account 5. BELLA DE VIVE - A victory and two places last summer but has yet to reproduce that form since her comeback 6. AMIRAL DANICA - Back in business following some disappointments. Does well in amateur races 7. BIQUET DIDJEAP - Never finishes far from the action but seldom wins races. Small place chance 8. BIWA FLOR - Needed last start after winter break. Needs to show more to warrant inclusion 9. BUENO VERDERIE - Disappointed in in every start since the turn of the year. Needs to reaffirm 10. CISULIE DE GUEZ - Not the most productive horse. Has shown little since her comeback and can be passed over 11. ANGEL DARK - Very modest individual that seldom makes any impact and is not about to break the mould 12. CRUSOE D'ANAMA - Has been biting off more than he can chew. Incurs a 50m penalty here and chances slim at best 13. AS DE PIENCOURT - Disappointed in in every start since the turn of the year. Needs to reaffirm 14. AMIRAL DE BEAULIEU - Last-start winner proven in this company. Leading role despite 50m penalty 15. COLORADO BLUE - Holding form in his last two starts and ready to make a bold bid. Player 16. BOSS DU MARNY - Last-start winner and proven in amateur races. Can stake a claim despite 50m penalty
