She is well handicapped at the moment but others preferred here today (3) IRON SPIRIT had several of these behind when third to Blessed Silence in a Class B handicap at Deauville earlier this month.

(4) APRILIOS and (2) NICE TO SEE YOU are two more for the short list. (10) SAINT POIS can make the frame.

More to do here Although failing to come under starters orders at Deauville earlier this month the Rouget colt (6) ASPIRER had won his previous two races at Clairefontaine and Toulouse. He has plenty potential and gets the vote ahead of (4) BUTHELA who ran well when second to Enlighted in a Class 1 race at Deauville this month. (2) LIGHTUPTHENIGHT and (8) JAZZ MELODIE are next best. (3) AJJLAN - (4) BUTHELA - (2) LIGHTUPTHENIGHT - (8) JAZZ MELODIE

(3) MR MAXIMUM - (4) MOWAFROST - (10) CHIQUIT INDIAN - (6) SOWGAY

8 Race 6 1. ASULAMAN - Back on a fair handicap mark but needs to improve on recent form 2.

EQUILADY - Won a Class E handicap over course and distance in May but has struggled since then 4. DUCALE DI MAREMMA - Yet to win in France after fourteen starts. Hard to recommend today 5.

(8) DANI BLUE and (10) AMIE INTIME are next best.

REBECCA - Disappointing last time out in a handicap but has won three claimers this year and must be respected 5. DORA BRUDER - Won a claimer at Clairefontaine last time out but this is a tougher test today 6. ALLIANCE SECRETE - A close second to Vieux Moulin in a claimer at Clairefontaine this month. More competitive race today 7. GRAN PIERINO - Well beaten seventh behind Vieux Moulin in a claimer at Clairefontaine this month 8. WORLD POWER - Has a bit to find with Dora Bruder from her latest outing at Clairefontaine this month 9. POWER BECQUA - Fifth behind Vieux Moulin in a claimer at Clairefontaine this month. Plenty to do here 10. A HEAD AHEAD - Won on his debut at Cagnes in January but needs to improve on recent form 11.

NORWEGIAN HIGHNESS - One win from nine starts in the UK and is interesting here on her French debut 15. DEAR DJANGO - Last of ten in a claimer at Maisons-Laffitte last month and hard to recommend here today In a competitive looking claimer preference is for the Rouget trained filly (12) PREMIERE GACHETTE who was having her first start for six months when winning a maiden at La Teste Buch last month. She gets the vote ahead of (2)

11 STREETS OF RIO who ran well in a handicap at Deauville recently. (4) REBECCA and (13) ANGEL BABY are two more for the short list. (12) PREMIERE GACHETTE - (2) STREETS OF RIO - (4) REBECCA - (13) ANGEL BABY

12 Race 8 1. PASSEPORT - Four time winner from twenty seven but not flying high right now 2. ROYAL SPRING - Third in a Class G claimer at Clairefontaine this month but has not won since VENT DU LARGE - Disappointing last time out at Deauville but respected on previous form 4.

(3) VENT DU LARGE and (11) ADAM'S PEAK are next best.

14 VINCENNES - 31st August Trainer of the day : Laurent-Claude Abrivard (413, 704) Jockey of the day : Eric Raffin (117, 302, 504, 609, 806) Horse of the day : Ecu du Vivier (202) Dark Horse : Dolly Bird (413) Race 1 1. DEESSE DE FOOT - Disappointing last run at Divonnes. Must have a bit to find 2. CYBELE JIEL - Has not done anything of note for a while and best to pass over 3. CHEF DE PARTI - Has long been out of form and unlikely to attract much support 4. CROCQ DIANE - Won a small race last time out in this discipline and could grab a place today 5. COUP DE CHANCE - Can go well when not disqualified and could be the surprise package in this race 6. CABALLO DESBOIS - Course winner. Has long been struggling with form though 7. CHAKALAKABOUMBOUM - Currently hitting a rough patch and unlikely to make an impact in this race 8. CADENCE D'URZY - Did not go unnoticed when runner-up at Divonnes last time out and cannot be excluded of the equation 9. DIAMANT THE BEST - Never a factor in three runs this term and cannot be worth much consideration 10. CAPELLE - Has failed to make the frame in last nine starts and unlikely to change this figure 11. CIMOKO D'ANKAR - Has not done enough in recent starts to be worth some consideration 12. CELLO ALTO - Possibly better in harness racing but should feature in this modest line-up 13. COW BOY DE MIEUX - Not devoid of ability but has it all to prove at Vincennes. Minor place chance 14. CLEENA DRYME - Has shown good recent form in harness racing and has

15 claims on return to ridden racing 15. CYRIAC D'ALCI - Lightly raced this season. Has no room for maneuver in a race of this nature 16. DEMON DE BABEL - Should come on from return to action. First time in a claimer 17. DIANE LA MESANGE - Finished third in a class D disputed under the saddle on penultimate start at Enghien and a repeat of this effort shall see her go close 18. DIABOLO DE JOUDES - Never won a race from 39 starts and unlikely to break his maiden status today 19. CHERRY DE L'OREE - Poor overall recent form. Sole contender to jump off te 25m handicap mark Unlike most of today's rivals, (17) DIANE LA MESANGE has shown good recent form and generally runs her race. She will be retained ahead of (16) DEMON DE BABEL who looks an interesting contender judged on what he achieved here last January. Stablemates (12) CELLO ALTO and (14) CLEENA DRYME are worth some consideration if anywhere near their best form. (8) CADENCE D'URZY is not out of it for place. (17) DIANE LA MESANGE - (16) DEMON DE BABEL - (12) CELLO ALTO - (14) CLEENA DRYME - (8) CADENCE D'URZY

16 Race 2 1. EL GRECO BELLO - Has recorded only four podiums from nine starts thus far and has a few lengths to find 2. ECU DU VIVIER - Got off the wrong foot at Cabourg. Has previously shown a large amount of ability 3. ESPOIR VENESI - Good last run at Enghien but this was under the saddle. Others preferred 4. EL PADRINO NOA - Lightly-raced. Has shown plenty of early speed last time at Enghien. Enters the equation 5. EARLY MARCH - Won a small race at 30/1 last time out. Steps up in grade. Associated with a top-pilote 6. ESPERANZO - Last run too bad to be true. Has claims on the back of his previous efforts 7. EDEL DE VANDEL - Finished third in a claimer last time and much more is needed to feature here 8. ELECTHOR D'EVA - Has made the frame (success) only once from eight harness starts. Best to watch 9. EXPRESSO - Caught the eye when runner-up at Rouen last time out and a repeat of this effort shall see him go close 10. EASY CASH - Showed promises in winning first two times out. Gone cold in last two starts (2) ECU DU VIVIER looked a very promising prospect when off the mark at Cabourg on 4 August and it may be best to forget his last effort. The three years old gelding has always been held in high esteem by trainer Thierry Duvaldestin and there are many reasons to believe he can resume with winning ways. (5) EARLY MARCH has a good draw too and looks the main danger to the selection. (2) ECU DU VIVIER - (5) EARLY MARCH - (6) ESPERANZO - (9) EXPRESSO

17 Race 3 1. DIVINE D'ECROVILLE - Good last three runs and is distance-suited but only had one start in this disicpline thus far 2. DARK FLY - Has shown significant progress since racing in this discipline and should be in the final shake-up once again 3. DRIVERIGO D'EAM - Has benefited from favourable circumstances when second at Enghien but on the rise and could feature 4. DUC DU GERS - Made honorable debut in this discipline on 13 August at Enghien. Should show progress 5. DISCO DES TAUREAUX - Unable to recapture last year's form and others can be preferred 6. DIVINE JET - Well-related son of Goetmals Wood. Poor recent form. First time under the saddle 7. DALTON - Useful performer in harness racing but disqualified two from two under the saddle 8. DEFENSEUR D'AM - Very useful performer in this disicpline but has made the frame only once from six starts at Vincennes 9. DARUS D'OCCAGNES - Sound performer in harness racing and could be worth a look in on debut under the saddle 10. DOCILE DES CHAMPS - Not sighted on both starts since back from a spell. Things can only get better 11. DREAM WORLD - A distant fifth last time at Divonnes and has a few lengths to find to feature 12. DEFI DES PISTES - Has made the frame in all three starts in this discipline. Should come on from return to action. Respect 13. DIVA D'IROISE - Out of form since February and unlikely to attract much support 14. DADDY CASH - Solid last two efforts in this discipline and must have every chance 15. DONA MAZA - Has had two comeback races behind the sulky and must be hugely respected on return to her preferred discipline (14) DADDY CASH is still lightly-raced in ths discipline and must have plenty of prgress to offer. He finished fourth in a good race at Vincennes on 10 June before a subsequent success at Le Mont Saint-Michel and looks the one to be

18 on. Third in a Group II last January (15) DONA MAZA makes a much awaited return to her favourite discipline and has to be closely monitored. Watch for both (7) DALTON and (2) DARK FLY. (14) DADDY CASH - (15) DONA MAZA - (7) DALTON - (2) DARK FLY

19 Race 4 1. CLIO DE BASSIERE - Cannot be worth any consideration on paper and best to ignore 2. DON DIEGO PARIS - Has the ability to feature in a race like this but has it all to prove at this course 3. CIRRUS DE L'ESQUE - Poor recent form and unlikely to trouble the judge in a race like this 4. DESIR DE PEMBO - Showed better intentions in last run and could grab a place with further progress 5. DINKY BOY VISAIS - Erratic horse. Has shown his limits at Enghien last time and best to watch 6. COCKTAIL DE CARO - Good last run in Belgium but faces a stiffer task today and not a priority 7. CESAR DES LUCAS - Had shown early promises but subsequently failed to live-up to expectations 8. DAPHNE DE FAVEROL - Useful performer in this class of event and enters the equation 9. DIAMANT DE MONCHEL - Not devoid of ability but boasts a poor record at this track 10. CRYSTAL SKY - Has been knocking on the door since last June and should feature prominently 11. CAGNOTTE DU CEBE - Has shown solid recent form in the Province and looks to have every chance back at Vincennes 12. CARLINE MONTAVAL - Finished first and second in last two starts in claiming races and looks an obvious contender 13. DOLLY BIRD - A close second to Doria de Vauville at Enghien last time and should go well once again 14. DEFI D'HAVANE - Has long been struggling with form and cannot be worth much consideration 15. DORIA DE VAUVILLE - Flying high since last June and should be at the premises once again 16. DRAGON CLEMAXELLE - Much more efficient under the saddle and unlikely to make an impact 17. CRUNCH DES BROUETS - Has failed to make the frame in five runs over course and distance. Poor recent form 18. COSMOS PERRINE - Capable sort in a good day and cannot be totally ruled

20 out Anything can happen in this claimer but both (11) CAGNOTTE DU CEBE and (15) DORIA DE VAUVILLE have shown solid recent form and are likely to play prominent roles in this contest. (13) DOLLY BIRD ran a convincing second on her first try in a claimer and looks the best alternative for success should the selections run below-par. (10) CRYSTAL SKY and (8) DAPHNE DE FAVEROL can make the frame. (11) CAGNOTTE DU CEBE - (15) DORIA DE VAUVILLE - (13) DOLLY BIRD - (10) CRYSTAL SKY - (8) DAPHNE DE FAVEROL

21 Race 5 1. CHIMENE SPEED - Not devoid of ability but has it all to prove over this course and distance 2. CORAMES - Has shown significant improvement this summer and looks set to take on better horses at present 3. CREATION - Disqualified on sole start in this discipline ten days ago and has it all to prove 4. CHANT DES SIRENES - Caugh the eye when fifth of ten in the Group II Prix Jockey here ten days ago. Has run only once in this discipline so far 5. CANDIE D'ATOUT - Consistent performer in this class of event and must feature on the shortlist 6. CATALOGNE - Much more efficient when all shoes come off and this is not the case this time 7. CERE JOSSELYN - Does not make much appeal on paper but top-pilot in the irons and could surprise 8. CANADIEN D'AM - Distances were too short in last three runs and should find herself much more comfortable this time round (4) CHANT DES SIRENES made late headways in the coveted Prix Jockey last time and is expected to run a big race in what will be only her second start under the saddle. (8) CANADIEN D'AM is far better than his last three runs suggest and should be able to make the frame over this demanding distance. (5) CANDIE D'ATOUT generally runs well when all shoes come off. (2) CORAMES is not out of it for place. (4) CHANT DES SIRENES - (8) CANADIEN D'AM - (5) CANDIE D'ATOUT - (2) CORAMES

22 Race 6 1. EBENE DU LOGIS - Boasts a sound track record. On-form and can spoil despite tougher opposition 2. EXTASY D'OURVILLE - Good seasonal debut on 6 July at Enghien but did not run since then 3. ENERGIE D'ECHAL - Hard fought win at Saint-Malo three weeks ago. Steps up in grade 4. EFFIGIE MADRIK - Went off stride at the start at Enghien last time. Expected to show a better figure today 5. EXTREME VRIE - Has shown promises last year but failed to live-up to expectations this season 6. EXTRA CADETTE - Good effort when runner-up in a class B at Pornichet latest. Can grab a place 7. ELEVATION - In contention for podium when disqualified at Enghien last time out. Must be given another chance 8. ESPERANCE - Not the best of run when narrowly headed in a class D at Enghien. Player 9. EMPRESS - Easy winner of her last three starts in the Province and should be hugely respected 10. ELOISE VENESI - Looks held on form in a race like this and others can be preferred 11. EMARA DU GOUTIER - Clocked a modest 1'16'3 when off the mark at Enghien on 13 May. Gone cold in three subsequent starts 12. ERABELLA MADRIK - Tends to go well when not disqualified and can be in the mix if applied 13. ESPERANCE MIX - Won two from last three starts but in lesser class of events. Has a bit to find An impressive winner of her last three starts in the Province, (9) EMPRESS will be closely monitored on her first steps at Vincennes and gets a tentative vote to make it four in a row. (7) ELEVATION would have gone very close at Enghien had she kept in stride and is in for redemption today. (3) ENERGIE D'ECHAL has plenty of stamina and looks a sound place prospect.

23 (9) EMPRESS - (7) ELEVATION - (3) ENERGIE D'ECHAL - (12) ERABELLA MADRIK

24 Race 7 1. DIABLE DE VAUVERT - Boasts a poor record over this course and distance and has too much to find 2. DANCING LOVE - Consistent performer but faces a tough assignement in this class of event 3. DUNBAR - Won 8 from 12 thus far. Has plenty more to offer and could surprise 4. DRAGON DES RACQUES - Second passed the post before subsequent disqualification in the race of reference. Definitely worth another chance 5. DIABLO DU NOYER - Multiple Group placed. Made a promising return to action on turf at Craon 6. DISCOURS JOYEUX - Group I winner who has failed to make the frame in last five starts 7. DREAMMOKO - Has been knocking on the door in recent starts and should go close once again 8. DIJON - Won a Group II ahead of many of today's rivals last April over 2100m. Has it all to prove over today's trip 9. DRAGON DU FRESNE - Top-class performer under the saddle but may find it tough in this company 10. DJANGO RIFF - Back on top of his game in last two starts and may prove hard to oppose (10) DJANGO RIFF has won a couple of big races this summer and is back on top of the four years old generation. However (7) DREAMMOKO gave the selection a bit to do at Enghien a fornitgh ago and once again he looks the main danger to Philippe Allaire's charge. (4) DRAGON DES RACQUES did not go unnoticed in the Criterium des Quatre Ans and is worth considering for podium. (10) DJANGO RIFF - (7) DREAMMOKO - (4) DRAGON DES RACQUES - (5) DIABLO DU NOYER

25 Race 8 1. DAVINA - Has demonstrated an interesting potential in the Province but faces a stiff task here 2. DUBAI DREAM - Showed significant improvement in last start and can feature prominently from this draw 3. DAME DES GOUJONS - Has been running well of late in Central-East France and can surprise on first attempt at Vincennes 4. DORABELLE - Easy winner of a class E at Cabourg latest and steps up in grade with claims 5. DIVA DU GRANIT - Goes very well when not disqualified. Best to forget last run and can be given another chance 6. DECOLORATION - Has previously run well at this course. Unlucky last time at Vichy and expected to make amends 7. DIANA DU PECH - Has long been struggling with form. Never made the frame from 17 runs at Vincennes 8. DOUCHKA D'ORMOY - Off since 17 March and unlikely to be fully fit for this 9. DONA DE BASSIERE - Never won a race from 19 starts and much preferred under the saddle. Watch 10. DEMOISELLE DU CLOS - Easy winner of a small race on turf last time but faces a totally different challenge here 11. DRASTERIA - Four disqualifications from last five starts and many others are far more reliable 12. DREHA DE VANDEL - Useful but somehow mentally-fragile performer under the saddle. Best to watch 13. DEESSE DES BAUX - Impressive winner of a class E at Cabourg latest. Definitely worth a good look in (2) DUBAI DREAM benefits from a good entry and has pulled a perfect draw. There are many reasons to believe this could be the day for the Vercruyssetrained filly. (5) DIVA DU GRANIT's last run is best to be forgotten as her previous form is solid. (6) DECOLORATION and Eric Raffin are worth considering for place. (13) DEESSE DES BAUX has ability but faces a tough task from this poor draw.

27 MARSEILLE-VIVAUX - 31st August Trainer of the day : Patrick Khozian (108, 101, 210, 302, 704) Jockey of the day : Guillaume Millet (107, 302, 401, 503, 702) Horse of the day : Its All Class (107) Dark Horse : L'Arlésienne (304) Race 1 1. UN DE LA CANEBIERE - Very good strike rate with ten from seventy and a must for shortlist 2. LE BANDIT - Has won six from thirty and a place perhaps is best shot 3. HUNDRED ACRE - Dual winner from seven including seasonal debut at Compiegne few month ago 4. RIZZICHOP - Five time winner from twenty three including three of last five 5. DARSELECT - He is six from forty nine and was runner up here last time out 6. VERMIX - Five time winner from twenty three including last two here and every chance 7. ITS ALL CLASS - Seven time winner from sixty two and comes into this in flying form 8. ELLERMAN - Thrice a winner from seventeen and primed to be involved 9. FORMENTOR - One win from twenty but did finish third in last two runs 10. ISSAUROMA - Triple winner from thirty including penultimate start here 11. NEXT TEMPTATION - Has scored in two from forty two but is difficult to fancy 12. KOSKOROBA - Triple winner from twenty nine including here two goes back 13. BONNIE AND CLYDE - Broke the ice four runs back but then very poor since This opener is competitive without any stars being on show. (7) ITS ALL CLASS just has to be the overall choice though based on a series of good runs lately and must go close of his current handicap rating. (8) ELLERMAN has strong credentials as well and should be feared. (6) VERMIX and (1) UN DE LA CANEBIERE need respect too.

29 Race 2 1. OK ET APRES - Triple winner from twenty seven and two good placed efforts lately 2. AIMLESS LADY - Former five time winner and might have an each way shot at best 3. JASPER - Three time winner from forty six and can have some sort of say 4. TAHITI WAY - Triple winner from thirty nine but appears to be a bit out of form right now 5. REINE VERTE - Is zero from eleven and has an awful lot to prove right now 6. LADY COMMANDEMENT - Four time winner from thirty six and place hopes at best 7. MIND - Seven time winner from fifty seven and might have each way chance 8. SMOKY CITY - Six time winner from many starts and may need to drop another pound or so 9. ROBIN BLOOD - Triple winner from thirty three but is on long losing run now 10. SISTER CHOPE - Triple winner from sixty five including penultimate start here 11. AMERICAN WAY - Good record with six from thirty six and chance if on a going day 12. ADJUDANT CHEF - Second career win came way back in 2013 and that stat is damning 13. THE RACER - Five time winner from forty nine but best left alone today It is easy enough to side with the credentials of (1) OK ET APRES. The five year old daughter of Panis has been placed here and at Vichy in her last two outings and the feeling is she will click today. Chief dangers appear to be (11) AMERICAN WAY and (10) SISTER CHOPE with each way hopes for (8) SMOKY CITY also. (1) OK ET APRES - (11) AMERICAN WAY - (10) SISTER CHOPE - (8) SMOKY CITY

30 Race 3 1. FIRST WOOD - Five time winner from nineteen and looks one of the leading lights 2. REAL FICTION - Dual winner from seventeen and comes in here in very good order 3. BERJOU - One win from eight and only out of the frame on a single occasion 4. L'ARLESIENNE - One win from a total of six starts this term. Consistent with a big chance 5. GIGI TRIO - One win from eight and can be forgiven blowout at Vichy last time 6. EDITORIAL - Dual placed from five runs and will do well to get anyway close 7. SAVANA BAIE - Off the mark two starts back from seven and has it to prove 8. LAST PARADISE - Just the one victory from twenty and can be hard to predict 9. LITHESOME - Is a maiden after six but two nice runs coming into this race 10. LA VALENTINE - One place from three runs and would be a surprise winner 11. POUDREUR - Runner up on debut but has gone downhill since then to be fair (4) L'ARLESIENNE can certainly go well here and maybe at a good price to boot. The chosen one is very consistent which is such an important trait in animal but also has plenty of ability so hopes are high for win number two. (1) FIRST WOOD and (2) REAL FICTION must come into it of form plus (9) LITHESOME as well. (4) L'ARLESIENNE - (1) FIRST WOOD - (2) REAL FICTION - (9) LITHESOME

31 Race 4 1. VOLSTORA - Only one win from seventeen but chance nonetheless in this weak event 2. MAGESQ DRALLIV - Very little in four runs and is easily avoided once more 3. PERLE DE DARCAN - Nothing at all in three runs and is ignored again here today 4. MATHONVILLE - First win from sixteen was three runs back and might have frame hopes 5. L'ASSAUT SIX - Placed in three of her six including the last twice so has some hope 6. TEMPETE DE PLUMES - Fifteen winless runs but improved effort when runner up at Vichy last time 7. EL RIO GRANDE - Placed in five of his fourteen runs but looks to be on the wane 8. RYOS - Eventually off the mark after nineteen runs when scoring at Aurillac last time 9. SIRENS CALL - He is zero from a dozen and needs to buck up ideas to figure 10. ZAHIRIA - Just a couple of bits of form from nineteen but easy to dismiss The selection here in this handicap is (1) VOLSTORA despite what look like to be average performances in her last few races. Those results are not as bad as they seem in the context of this event and if recapturing her best will be difficult to beat. (6) TEMPETE DE PLUMES should be in the mix along with (10) ZAHIRIA and (3) PERLE DE DARCAN. (1) VOLSTORA - (6) TEMPETE DE PLUMES - (10) ZAHIRIA - (3) PERLE DE DARCAN

32 Race 5 1. PLEASE BE TRUE - One win from five runs and has a bit of a shout at a price 2. SANDY QUEEN - A newcomer by Orpen who might be better off in handicaps 3. LAGORA - One win from six efforts and has the form to be involved 4. FIRST AND LAST - Unplaced in both starts and looks a forlorn hope again today 5. JESSY LOVE - Placed twice in her five outings and has another chance here 6. LUCIBELL - She is zero from seven and likely to stay that way after this 7. BOUSTIE - One win from seven and can be forgiven latest blip so noted 8. TIMELESS GIFT - Unplaced in three outings and has little hope as such so ignored (7) BOUSTIE ran a bit of a shocker at Vichy last time out but all previous efforts and including at this venue had been very consistent and progressive so it is best to forgive that poor run so the selection can get back on track here. (3) LAGORA will find any chinks in the armour of the above choice. (5) JESSY LOVE and (1) PLEASE BE TRUE can come next. (7) BOUSTIE - (3) LAGORA - (5) JESSY LOVE - (1) PLEASE BE TRUE

33 Race 6 1. CROSS WITS - Won twice earlier this season and creditable efforts since then 2. CHICISSIME - Triple winner from fourteen including a claimer at Vichy last time 3. SCARY CHOP - One win from nineteen runs but pretty consistent in the main 4. ETOILE BERE - Remains a maiden after thirteen and seems to have little chance 5. LAS VEGAS DIVA - Dual winner from thirteen including a claimer here last time 6. MAIGVIL - Unplaced in seven outings and has a whole lot to do once more 7. MALIKA - Placed in four of her nine outings and another frame chance 8. AVROTI - Placed in five of her ten outings and would like a player again Sire of the moment Nathaniel could provide another winner here in the shape (8) AVROTI who has shown enough ability in her previous ten outings to suggest she could go well at a big price. (5) LAS VEGAS DIVA should be on the premises and will have plenty of supporters. (1) CROSS WITS and (2) CHICISSIME must have frame hopes too. (8) AVROTI - (5) LAS VEGAS DIVA - (1) CROSS WITS - (2) CHICISSIME

34 Race 7 1. DEIMOS - Finished in front of some of today's rivals on two occasions last June. Not one to be ruled out 2. INVINCIBLE LOVE - A close third to Deimos on 23 June over course and distance. Player 3. BALLE REELLE - Won ahead of Evrest Bere and Deimos when off the mark over track and trip last April. In mixed form since then 4. EVREST BERE - Useful competitor in this class of event. Still a maiden from 14 starts 5. VUE DU CIEL - Is zero from fourteen but has run several creditable races 6. PRIME MINISTER - Never a danger on both career starts at this course. Hard to make a case This should take little winning and is not a race to get too excited about. (2) INVINCIBLE LOVE must be thereabouts. The gelded son of Vale Of York has not got the best of form figures lately but a chance is taken that he can bounce back in this grade of event ahead of (4) EVREST BERE and (3) BALLE REELLE with (1) DEIMOS next in line. (2) INVINCIBLE LOVE - (4) EVREST BERE - (3) BALLE REELLE - (1) DEIMOS
