ZAROSE - Eight behind Miracle Des Aigles in a Class B Quinte handicap at Chantilly last time out. Won a Class D handicap there before that but plenty weight here 2. NABUCCO - Eleventh behind For Ever in a Class B handicap at Deauville last month. Decent effort at Chantilly before that but may need to drop a few more kilos 3. ROSS CASTLE - Third behind For Ever in a Class B handicap at Deauville last month. A Group Three winner at Maisons-Laffitte last year and one for the short list 4. SNAAD - Second behind Miracle Des Aigles in a Class B Quinte handicap at

2 Chantilly last time out. Had a few of these behind on that occasion and and is a leading contender 5. CREPUSCULEDESDIEUX - Ran well when second behind Borsakov in a Class D handicap at Saint-Cloud last month. Has solid place claims here again today 6. APRILIOS - Third behind Eternal Army in a Class D handicap at Chantilly last month. Drops back in trip today and it might be on the sharp side 7. KHEFYN - Has not run since March when unplaced in a Class A race at La Teste Buch. Back in trip today and this would be a concern 8. ROYAL VATI - Thirteenth behind For Ever in a Class B handicap at Deauville last month. Has won two Class E handicaps but faces a tough test today 9. ALBEROBELLO - Good effort at Chantilly in April when second to Lord Glitters in a Class D race. Well behind a few of these in a handicap at Deauville last month 10. ARTPLACE - Fourth behind Ceresi in a Class B race at Chantilly last month. Back on a reasonable handicap mark and not without a chance today 11. XOTIC - Eleventh behind Eternal Army in a Class D handicap at Chantilly last month. Needs to improve from that but is well handicapped at the moment 12. GAETANO DONIZETTI - Fifth behind For Ever in a Class B handicap at Deauville last month. Just one win from eleven starts but has a chance off this mark 13. RAKHSH - Third behind Borsakov in a Class D handicap at Saint-Cloud last month. That was a decent effort and he can run well again today 14. HOPELESS - Gets a 3.5 Kg penalty for his win in a competitive Class D handicap at Chantilly last month. Could still be improving and not ruled out The lightly raced (4) SNAAD had several of these behind when second in a Class B handicap at Chantilly last time out. He is well handicapped and looks the pick on form at present. Despite a penalty the improving (14) HOPELESS cannot be ruled out from following up his recent success. (12) GAETANO DONIZETTI and (5) CREPUSCULEDESDIEUX are two more for consideration. (3) ROSS CASTLE is also a danger. (4) SNAAD - (14) HOPELESS - (12) GAETANO DONIZETTI - (5) CREPUSCULEDESDIEUX - (3) ROSS CASTLE - (13) RAKHSH - (11) XOTIC

(8) WEIGELIA - (6) SCHAFFEN SCHAFFEN - (4) RAIN ON THE DUNE - (11) FLAME OF FAME

(4) BRETON MARCH - (5) SILVER RING - (1) ZAHID - (2) DUNGANNON

8 Race 5 1. FINCHE - An impressive winner on his debut at Deauville last month and the step up in trip should suit 2.

TEMPLE CHURCH - Has won one from three in the UK and ran well in a Listed race at Maisons-Laffitte last month 5. REAL VALUE - Had some decent placed form last year but still a maiden after nine starts 6. CULTIVATOR - Won a Class 1 race at Cagnes last month and respected with Soumillon on board today A small but competitive field for this Listed race and the Fabre pair (1) FINCHE and (3) GLEN SHIEL could be the ones to fight it out at the finish. Preference is for the former who impressed on his debut win at Deauville last month. (6) CULTIVATOR and (2) AFANDEM are both talented individuals and must be respected. (1) FINCHE - (3) GLEN SHIEL - (6) CULTIVATOR - (2) AFANDEM

9 Race 6 1. HEBAH - Good run when fourth to Sobetsu in the Prix Saint-Alary last month and will be hard to beat here 2.

IBIZA - Third in a Class 1 race at Maisons-Laffitte two weeks ago and upped in trip today (1) HEBAH ran well when fourth in the Group One Prix Saint-Alary at Deauville last month.

(3) GOLDEN LEGEND and (5) TERRE are next best. (1) HEBAH - (4) BALTIC DUCHESS - (3) GOLDEN LEGEND - (5) TERRE

10 Race 7 1. ROCKING LADY - Two wins from five career starts and could be well treated on her handicap debut 2. LINE DRUMMER - Disappointing on his latest outing but well capable off this mark today 3. MOONLIGHT GAMBLER - Well beaten in both of his comeback runs this year after a long break but is talented 4. MATA UTU - Fair effort at Baden Baden last time out but might be a little high in the weights at present 5. WITCHCRAFT - A close second in a Class e claimer at Fontainebleau earlier this month and well handicapped at present 6. YUME - Fourth to Borsakov in a Class D handicap at Saint-Cloud last month and respected off this mark 7.

(1) ROCKING LADY was a close second at Lion-D'Angers in a Class E race recently and cannot be ruled out on her handicap debut. (2) LINE DRUMMER and (14) ALFIERI are next best.

12 Race 8 1. TRES SOLID - Unplaced in his last two starts in Class D handicaps but cannot be ruled out at this level 2. ZADRAK - Unplaced in all three starts this year but well capable here if anywhere near his best 3. JULES ET JIM - Has not run since July Won a Class B race in 2015 and this is a big drop in class 4. SHAYANDI - Won two handicaps earlier this year but form has tailed off since then 5. AGAINST RULES - Unplaced on her reappearance at Maisons-Laffitte last month but a good chance here on 2016 form 6. MR GALLIVANTER - Unplaced in both starts this year but has to be considered on last years form 7. OLIVIA POPE - Second in a Class E claimer at Saint-Cloud last month but this looks more competitive today 8. NOW TODAY - Decent effort when third in a Class E race at Wissembourg last month but more to do here (5) AGAINST RULES should improve from her comeback run at Fontainebleau last month. She won a Class B handicap at Saint-Cloud last November and will take all the beating here if getting close to that form. (2) ZADRAK and (6) MR GALLIVANTER are also both well capable at this level. (1) TRES SOLID is next best. (5) AGAINST RULES - (2) ZADRAK - (6) MR GALLIVANTER - (1) TRES SOLID

13 Race 9 1. VERTI CHOP - Gets a 2.5 Kg penalty today for his win in a Class E handicap at Cagnes last month but not ruled out 2. DUCALE DI MAREMMA - Still a maiden after eleven starts and needs to improve on recent form 3. MOONWALK STEP - Has not won since May 2016 but on a favourable handicap mark at the moment 4. CALINA - Sliding down the handicap but disappointing at Fontainebleau last time out in March 5. DES ANNEES FOLLES - Won a Class E handicap on her penultimate start at Chantilly and not without a chance here 6. MAMBO WAY - Three solid efforts so far this year and could run well here off a fair mark 7. ATTILAS - Ran well on his comeback at Maisons-Laffitte last month and one for the short list today 8. ROYAL SPRING - Placed in both of his starts at this course but hard to recommend on recent form 9. DYLAR - Ran well when third in a Class E race at Lion-D'Angers last month and must be respected 10. DON MIMI - Won a Class E claimer at Saint-Cloud ten days ago. Place prospects here today 11. SARDEGNA - Creditable third in a Class E handicap at Chanyilly last time out. This looks a tougher test today 12. BONITA CHICA - Won a Class E handicap on her penultimate start at Lion- D'Angers but found it tougher off a higher mark 13. EL VALLE - Has not won since 2015 and needs to improve on recent form to feature here 14.

(1) VERTI CHOP can make the frame.

15 NANCY - 12th June Trainer of the day : Mme Virginie Lecroq (410, 512, 610) Driver of the day : Franck Nivard (503, 611, 714, 807) Horse of the day : Dream of Jet (503) Dark Horse : Vent du Der (309) Race 1 1. DINAND CONVITAL - Raider from The Netherlands having his first run in this discipline. Too many question marks 2. BACILLY - Has been thereabouts in recent starts and likely to go well once again 3. VIKING OLYMPIC - Struggled in all three starts on french soil. May have too much to find to feature in a race like this 4. PATHOS OM - Has shown ability in this discipline in Germany. Can be worth a look in on first run on french soil 5. ALI THE KING - Capable sort when he can keep in stride. Not one to rule out 6. SOLSTRALEN - Well beaten on both starts this season. Unlikely to make an impact on return to ridden racing 7. APOLLON D'ILLE - Not disgraced when sixth in a good race at Caen on penultimate start. Cannot be ruled out 8. VASCO LITTORAL - Well beaten in last four starts in this discipline and cannot be worth much consideration at present 9. VENT DU CIEL - Last seen on the podium in a small harness event at Strasbourg on 23 October. Best to watch 10. VEGA FRANCA - Latest harness form does not make much appeal. Hard to fancy on debut under the saddle 11. TOKIO HOTEL HALL - Down in grade from last start in a ridden event. Expected to be at the premises 12. VAZIRISSIMO - Has made the frame against much better opponents and has every chance if on top of his game 13. UN AMOUR DE NAPPES - Won a claimer behind the sulky last April. Gone cold in three subsequent starts. Tries this discipline

16 This a wide open contest. (11) TOKIO HOTEL HALL faces a much easier task than he did at Vincennes and this step down in grade could be just enough to see him back in the winners box. (5) ALI THE KING is not the most reliable sort but generally runs well at this course. (4) PATHOS OM's first steps on french soil have to be closely monitored. (11) TOKIO HOTEL HALL - (5) ALI THE KING - (4) PATHOS OM - (2) BACILLY

17 Race 2 1. CHEF DES RACQUES - Off since December last year and does not make much appeal on form. Others preferred 2. CHEF DE L'ECLUSE - Has been struggling in this class of event since the new year. Best to watch 3. CONCERTO DES DUNES - Pleasing effort when third at Bernay on his first run in this class of event. Player 4. CARLINO JAC - Mentally-fragile but has more than the required ability to win a race of this nature. Must be respected 5. COMETE DE DIGEON - Not sighted in three runs this season. First time in a claiming race. Still has plenty to find 6. CLEA DES GENIEVRES - Finished fifth on sole start in a claimer last February. Has been in fair form since. Can feature 7. COTKIE DE JOUX - Much preferred when shoes come off but has the credentials to feature and looks a sound place prospect If (4) CARLINO JAC gets off the right foot he should not be far from the action on his first attempt in a claiming race. (3) CONCERTO DES DUNES's last effort on turf in an identical race gives him every chance here. Although remaining fully shod on this occasion (7) COTKIE DE JOUX is not one that should be taken lightly. (6) CLEA DES GENIEVRES can make the frame. (4) CARLINO JAC - (3) CONCERTO DES DUNES - (7) COTKIE DE JOUX - (6) CLEA DES GENIEVRES

18 Race 3 1. AUDACE D'ECOTAY - Unplaced on sole run last year. Cannot be worth any consideration on return to action 2. BUENO HONEY - Lacks consistency but faces a weak field so cannot be discounted for place 3. ARAMIS DE DIGEON - Not sighted in three runs this term and unlikely to make his presence felt 4. VOLGA DE TORTUGA - Good effort when runner-up in an identical race on 17 April. Barefoot on this occasion. Same feature is used today 5. VIVE ALI - Off since September last year and cannot be worth much consideration on seasonal debut 6. VAZIRISTAN - Finished third in a lady's race at Arras last time out. Faces same kind of opposition here 7. URON DU RIED - Disqualified on sole run this season and this was three months ago. Hard to make a case 8. ULYSSE DU CAMPDOS - Tends to go well when not disqualified and can have the edge in a race like this 9. VENT DU DER - Well-entered. Down in grade and would be no surprise if in the final shake-up (8) ULYSSE DU CAMPDOS's last effort takes nothing from him. He is back in a race well within his range and should be respected. Unshod on all four (4) VOLGA DE TORTUGA looks to have the best shot from front row contenders and could get back in the winners enclosure some eighteen months after her last success. (9) VENT DU DER has never run a bad race in four attempts at this course and is another one for the shortlist. (8) ULYSSE DU CAMPDOS - (4) VOLGA DE TORTUGA - (9) VENT DU DER - (6) VAZIRISTAN

19 Race 4 1. EMERAUDE MIKA - Showed promise on winning debut at Amiens. Cannot be ruled out on the back of her last run 2. ETOILE DAIRPET - Well held in an identical race over course and distance in latest. Needs to up her game 3. ETOILE DES BROUETS - Very unlucky when disqualified at Reims last time. Definitely worth another chance 4. EN VIKING - Useful sort but somehow limited and only a place chance in this line-up 5. ECLAT DE LA ROUVRE - Made winning debut at Strasbourg last March but did not live-up to expectations since then 6. ECLAIR MYSTIQUE - Beaten far when sixth of twelve over course and distance last time. Best to watch 7. ESPOIR D'AMOUR - Off the mark in a small race at Lisieux on penultimate start. More is needed to win today 8. ENERGIE D'ANLOUNA - Not the most consistent sort but has ability and can grab a small place with a good run 9. EASY VINIERE - Three good runs this term including one over course and distance. Cannot be dismissed 10. EXPRESSO DELADOU - Sound winner when off the mark in a class E at Caen. Franck Nivard on board Eclat de Rouvre today 11. ENVOUTANTE DE KACY - Narrowly headed over course and distance last time. Has strong claims on the back of this effort 12. EAU FINE DU HOULET - Off the mark ahead of Easy Viniere at Bihorel a fortnight ago. Has more to offfer and can be in the mix (10) EXPRESSO DELADOU went off the mark at Caen and finished ahead of two previous winners on this occasion. Therefore this form looks solid and the son of Rodriguo Jet could is expected to make it two in row. (3) ETOILE DES BROUETS would have gone very close at Reims had she not lost her stride in the final stages. She is in for redemption today and could give a lot to do to the selection.

21 Race 5 1. DRAGON BLEU - Has shown promise last year but well beaten on both starts this term 2. DODDY DE VIVE - Not devoid of ability and can feature if capable of keeping his stride all way round 3. DREAM OF JET - Best to forget last run. Has strong claims on the back of three previous efforts 4. DEESSE DU HABLE - Never won a race from twenty career starts. Unlikely to break his maiden status today 5. DAGUET - Still a maiden after seventeen outings. Place prospect at best 6. DALSHIM DU NOYER - Won two races last year but has gone cold in last four starts. Off since 18 March 7. DIAMANT DE MONCHEL - Two career wins have come on turf. Needs to show significant improvement to feature 8. DUBAI DREAM - Should come on from last run and can be in the mix if anywhere near last year's form 9. DESPERADO JIEL - Won two in a row last autumn but never made an impact in two runs this term. Has a lot to find 10. DIAMANT DU NIL - Scored easily whe off the mark over course and distance ten days ago. Must be respected 11. DUC DE GRIMOULT - Moderate sort who has made the frame only twice from twenty-six runs. Best to watch 12. DONUTS DELADOU - Showed significant improvement on second run back from a spell. Can go close with further progress The suggestion is Franck Nivard's partner (3) DREAM OF JET who will have sound prospects if repeating the form of his first three runs. (10) DIAMANT DU NIL displayed a pleasing effort when scoring over this course and distance and could be the main danger to the selection. (8) DUBAI DREAM should come on from seasonal debut. (12) DONUTS DELADOU is worth some consideration. (3) DREAM OF JET - (10) DIAMANT DU NIL - (8) DUBAI DREAM - (12) DONUTS DELADOU

23 Race 6 1. CADMEA - Won two small races since the new year but has been out of the frame in eleven other starts 2. COROLLE DU RIED - Obvious lack of consistency. All three career victories were on turf. Others preferred 3. CARA D'OCCAGNES - Did not go unnoticed when third at Vichy over 2850m. Drop in distance will favour 4. COOKIE DES BROUETS - Has a few lengths to find to win a race like this. Not a realistic proposition 5. CELEBRE DE FOOT - Ridden races specialist who can also go well behind the sulky. Still has a bit to find 6. CARAT JIEL - Won three races from seven starts last year but disappointed in all four outings this term 7. CLASSIC WORD - Not disgraced in lat two starts over course and distance. Needs to up his game to win though 8. COLONEL PICCI - Good last effort when fifth of twelve in a class D at Vincennes. Down in grade and can place 9. CASBAH WOOD - Has not done anything of note in this discipline and cannot be worth much consideration 10. CALINEKA GWEN - Runner-up to a smart individual last time. Faces a much easier task in this line-up 11. CACHOU D'OCCAGNES - Won four races last year including a class D at Vincennes. Cannot be excluded of the equation 12. CRAZY LOOK - Runner-up in last three starts in this class of event. Can go one better anytime Although she never was a challenge for the winner at Pontchateau (10) CALINEKA GWEN finished in front of some pretty useful horses on this occasion and should have the measure in this field. On-form (12) CRAZY LOOK will lead the opposition with (11) CACHOU D'OCCAGNES who has not been seen at his best yet this year. (8) COLONEL PICCI cannot be dismissed. (10) CALINEKA GWEN - (12) CRAZY LOOK - (11) CACHOU D'OCCAGNES -

24 (8) COLONEL PICCI

25 Race 7 1. BANDITO - Not a bad sort in The Netherlands but has it all to prove on french soil 2. BACCHUS - Front shoes come off on second run back from a spell. Player if anywhere near last year's form 3. BULIANO - Best run from seven starts this term is a third place in a weak amateur contest. Others preferre 4. BOSTON D'OYSE - Much improved in last two runs and could have more to offer. Has to be respected 5. BELLE DU TERROIR - Scored at Rouen last October. Unable to recapture last year's form in five runs this season 6. BRUNETTE DU BANNEY - Useful sort in this class of event. Seldom wins races though. Place prospect 7. BAMBOU DES CORVEES - Well held in last three starts in small races. Has too much to find 8. BANGURO - Has been in fair form since the turn of the year. Can grab a stake cheque 9. BELLMAN JET - Showed better intentions in last two runs but still has a bit to find to make the frame 10. BLUE GIRL DU FER - Won a class E at 71/1 at Vichy last time. Unlikely to reproduce such feat from the 25m handicap mark 11. BAKLOV DE VANDEL - Capable sort when he can keep within the rule. Below-par last month on sole run at this course 12. BELLO DE BARI - Useful performer on both codes. Only one win from fourty starts thus far 13. BELLAGIO MONOI - Tends to go well when not disqualified. Good last effort at Laon and can be in the mix 14. BACCARA JIEL - Firing on all cylinders since March and looks set for another big performance (14) BACCARA JIEL is currently flying high and make most appeal by far in what looks a moderate contest. Course and distance winner last year (2) BACCHUS has had only one run this term but front shoes come off and this must be seen as a strong sign of confidence from connections. (13) BELLAGIO MONOI showed a much better figure at Laon and can feature if capable of building on this effort.

27 Race 8 1. VAL D'HARCHIES - Disqualified on both starts this term.previous form does not make much appeal either 2. AMIE D'OCCAGNES - As good as ever. Has seldom run a bad race when barefoot. Player 3. VICTORIOUS LOVE - Has gone off stride in all three starts since the new year. Hard to make a case 4. AWATIXA - Has not done anything of note for some time at present and unlikely to make an impact 5. APPLE DELADOU - Erratic horse. Capable sort on his day though and cannot be ruled out 6. ALTAYA DE DALINE - Mostly disappointing since the turn of the year and best to be watched 7. AS DES JACQUETS - Has not stopped improving since the turn of the year. Well-entered on front row 8. VALENCIO DU MAZA - Well-entered on front row but lacks consistency and others make more appeal 9. VAILLANT JIEL - Better sort under the sadle at present. Only the one run this year. Best to watch 10. ARIANE D'ARRY - Back to herself at Vichy. Can feature if capable of building on this effort 11. TENOR DU PASSAGE - One good effort from ten runs this term and unlikely to play role at the finish 12. AVERTIN BELRI - Has shown good recent form on both turf and sand. Place prospect 13. VAKATO - Not beaten far in a competitive class D at Vincennes. Has a first rate chance on the back of this effort 14. AMTAO - Cannot be worth any consideration on paper and easily passed over The way (7) AS DES JACQUETS socred last time out suggests he could do just the same here. Associated with Franck Nivard, he sets the standard and will be retained ahead of (2) AMIE D'OCCAGNES who is now back on top of her game. (13) VAKATO will relish the extra distance and can also be part of the equation. (10) ARIANE D'ARRY can be fancied on the back of her last effort.

ZASCANDIL - Maiden from five starts. Second latest at Toulouse May 22 when he was made second favorite in the betting. The draw is good and a major contender. 2. ANOTHER DREAM - Maiden from eight starts and only placed once. Will have to wait for another opportunity. 3. CHILPERIC - Maiden from six starts. Placed twiced. Trained by the mighty Jean-Claude Rouget. Should finish in the thick of thing and might win a race like this 4. ERITIERE - Maiden from two starts. Hasn't shown anything at all so far and passed over 5. CHANCELLOR - Maiden from two starts. Second and fourth at Mont-de- Marsan. Promising enough to challenge with the best jockey in the field Julien Auge. 6. DONAVITA - Maiden from six starts. Placed twice. She is owned by the Wertheimers and that alone will make her a contender. Couldn't score at La Teste-de-Buch but is the highest ranked horse today 7. VIEWBANK - Debutant by Muhtathir. Neither trainer nor jockey is a regular in the winner's circle 8. L'ARZIMUT - Debutant by Noroit. Likely to need the run This is a good opportunity for (6) DONAVITA to open her account. (1) ZASCANDIL is getting nearer and nearer a win and is likely to go close again.(5) CHANCELLOR will lose her maiden soon and (3) CHILPERIC will get involved if he doesn't lose too many lengths at the start.

31 Race 2 1. BARON - One win from seven tries. Ninth at La Teste-de-Buch latest. Was behind Ty Dream (9) that day and has a lot to find. 2. THE MIRROR - Broke her maiden in April and won a claimer at Dax May 28. Julien Auge is up and she is still not exposed. Strong place claims 3. HOT MOTIVE - Student of Jean-Claude Rouget.. Comes from a win at Auch May 14 and this gelding by Motivator must have a good chance in his handicap debut 4. LUIRE - Won a maiden at Lyon-La Soie in March. This is her handicap debut but this looks like a tough task 5. KENMARIA - Won at Auch May 14 and looks a bit low at the weights in her handicap debut. Major contender 6. MUYANA - Won a maiden at Pompadour April 16. Close to The Mirror (2) in a claimer at Dax but was receiving 4 kilos today and only 2 kilos less today. For a minor place 7. KENAMO - On his way up and better off with Ty Dream (9) today. Serious challenger to the favorite 8. LANVOLER - Fifth here in a conditions race latest and this is his handicap debut. Any share of the prize money will be a positive surprise 9. TY DREAM - In very good form and has beaten a few in this field before. Latest third at La Teste-de-Buch showed that he can carry his current rating. Strong place claims 10. MIRLO BLANCO - Still a maiden from three start and looks a bit high at the weight entering the handicap ranks. Passed over 11. LA PRESABIA - Ninth in the Spanish Oaks at Madrid May 28. Very hard to assess but still a maiden from 10 starts. Outsider 12. GUYENNE - Won a claimer at Royan-La Palmyre in April at a firm track and hope is resting on her getting the same turf conditions today. 13. LE CIRON - Hard to assess the form but it could be on the rise and racing from the bottom at the weights. Could be the surprise package 14. JICOTEA - A maiden from five starts and didn't convince in Madrid, Spain latest. Changed trainer but must show a lot of improvement to get involved. Not this time. (3) HOT MOTIVE was an easy winner at Auch recently and is making his

32 handicap debut with a favorable rating. He has legimate ambitions. (7) KENAMO is improving and should pose a serious challenge wile it is possible that (5) KENMARIA will continue her winning ways after breaking her duck latest.(9) TY DREAM has been in good form for a while and a place at the podium is within reach. (3) HOT MOTIVE - (7) KENAMO - (5) KENMARIA - (9) TY DREAM

33 Race 3 1. WIN BOY - One win from 17 starts. Outclassed by the favorite but better than most in this conditions race. 2. SEA MIST - Nine year old gelding by Lando. Still retain a lot of ability. If the favorite is very rusty he could be the one who benefits. Latest win on turf came at Chantilly 2015 in a Quinte + 3. CORSAIRYA - Last seen at Toulouse in November. Will probably need this race 4. ACHICOCO - Won here May 25 but only showed 25.5 and that won't do it today versus the likes of Academic and Sea Mist. 5. ACADEMIC - A four year old student of Jean-Claude Rouget and way better than this lot. Drawback is that he is returning from a long layoff but that shouldn't hinder this third in the Prix Derby du Languedoc (Listed) 6. TRADIGRAPHIE - One of the better ones in this race. This is a comeback race and she should finish in the mix today 7. BROOKLYN THOMAS - Won at Auch May 14 with new headgear applied. Same formula today but this task is impossible 8. SEGUITO - Ran a good race here April 11 and shouldn't be judged on his next start. Could go close 9. LE MATHEYSIN - One run after a long absence but showed nothing and outclassed in this race 10. ASTROLOGO - Latest win in March 2015 and returning from a break. Not today 11. ADENA - Last seen at a racetrack in November Won't trouble the judges today (5) ACADEMIC returns from a long layoff but is in another class than this lot with a rating of 44. He was placed in the Derby the Languedoc and won't have a problem dominating the evergreen (2) SEA MIST and (8) SEGUITO who returns to the track of his latest placing..(1) WIN BOY could follow them home with a female rider taking off 2 kilos (5) ACADEMIC - (2) SEA MIST - (8) SEGUITO - (1) WIN BOY

35 Race 4 1. GOLDEN BROWN - A maiden from three starts but a good runner up the last two and could go one better today 2. EASYWOOD PONTADOUR - A good second here April 17 in her debut. Should be able to get rid of her maiden today 3. EASYLANDE - No impressions in three starts and won't break her duck today 4. MISS D'ARGENT - 11th here April 17 far behind Easywood Pontadour. No chance today. 5. FUTEE DU PECOS - Debutant but is interesting and shouldn't be discounted 6. ECYRA PONTADOUR - Far behind Golden Brown latest and far behind Easywood Pontadour before that. No 7. MEHAREE - Sixth in her debut in March. Outsider if learning from the experience 8. DEMETRA DE LARACHI - Disgraced behind Easywood Pontadour (2). Outclassed again 9. MELODIE CELESTE - Decent fifht here in her debut not more than 3/4 of a length behind Golden Brown. Major contender 10. FLAMB'EE - Debut but is of interest coming from a shrewd trainer (2) EASYWOOD PONTADOUR was a very good second in her debut at this track and it shouldn't take long for her to break her duck. (1) GOLDEN BROWN went second here May 25 and will challenge for the win. (9) MELODIE CELESTE wasn't far behind that day in her debut and will be brought on for the experience.(5) FUTEE DU PECOS is an interesting debutant (2) EASYWOOD PONTADOUR - (1) GOLDEN BROWN - (9) MELODIE CELESTE - (5) FUTEE DU PECOS

36 Race 5 1. LA PRINCESSE - Fifth and fourth in first two starts and if keeping on progressing she could get involved 2. EUGENE DE TANUES - A good third May 9 at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat and should challenge for a place 3. FLANELLE DU PECOS - Two thirds here so far to start of her career in a good way. Two lenghts behind Clayrval (4) latest and hard to see her reverse the form 4. CLAYRVAL - Beat three of today's rivals in his debut. Will have the measure of most today and a worthy favorite 5. FRILANCE - Debutant without anything that catches the eye 6. BANJO - Far behind the favorite latest in his debut and impossible to believe in 7. PERLISSIMA DU LAC - Not a serious contender being beaten far by a couple in this race latest 8. HINDALIZI - Debutant and impossible to assess 9. AIRDELIA - Debutant who is not catching the eye 10. ELZARTE - Maiden from three starts and a place among the first five would be considered a success 11. ESPOIR LAUTEIX - Debutant and an outsider 12. PLUME EN FOLIE - Debutant carrying only 50 kilos. Outsider (4) CLAYRVAL was really good in his debut and should open his account here at the expense of (3) FLANELLE DU PECOS who has been very good in her first two outings.judged by his latest outing (2) EUGENE DE TANUES should be competitive.(1) LA PRINCESSE is on her way up and could profit if a couple of the favorites disappoint (4) CLAYRVAL - (3) FLANELLE DU PECOS - (2) EUGENE DE TANUES - (1) LA PRINCESSE

37 Race 6 1. AREOS - Gelding by Henrythenavigator. Has won 5 times from 24 starts and is clearly the horse to beat today 2. KICK DOWN - Clearly beaten by Gojici (4) in a claimer at La Teste-de-Buch latest despite receiving weight from using a female jockey. Worse off today, but should still challenge for a place 3. THREE GRACEZ - Has taken a significant drop in the ratings and if finding anything near her form from last year she would win this. Outsider 4. GOJICI - Pleased in a claimer at La Teste-de-Buch May 10. Is of interest returning to a handicap 5. FEE D'ARTOIS - Scored in a Quinte + at Deauville in August 2015 from a mark of Racing from 29 today she is an outsider. 6. AIDOS - One win from 16 starts and has won from a higher rating than today's. The form is a disaster and passed over. 7. SANDOSIDE - Very consistent in claimers and scored in a handicap race from at Saint-Malo from a rating of 26 May 18. Racing from a mark of 28 today but shouldn't be far away at the finish 8. GREY FROST - The latest wins have been on the all weather and this gelding by Verglas might not be as good back on the turf. Best watched 9. RUSTER - Eight here in a similar handicap May 25. No reason to believe he will fare much better today (1) AREOS left a good impression latest and will have a good chance of scoring today despite the top-weight.(4) GOJICI is coming back to handicap company and won't give up without a fight. (2) KICK DOWN has been given the benefit of a doubt from the handicapper and can take advantage. (7) SANDOSIDE could challenge on a good day. (1) AREOS - (4) GOJICI - (2) KICK DOWN - (7) SANDOSIDE

38 Race 7 1. INSEO - Won a claimer at Deauville in January on the all-weather and then went handicapping for a while. Could grab a place back in this grade 2. MYASUN - Clearly superior on ratings. Hasn't won since September 2015 at Maisons-Laffitte and would have preferred a shorter distance. 3. FRANCKY MINUTY - Course and distance winner who always runs his races at this track. Will finish in the mix. 4. CHARLIE ROSE - Fourth in a similar claimer at Royan-La Palmyre on June 4. Won't be too far away if coping with the short rest 5. PRORISKS - Won a handicap November 23 at Toulouse and then got a welldeserved break. Needed a couple of runs in his comeback last year and best watched today 6. PIAZZANO - Maiden from 16 starts and very simple. Outclassed in this claimer (2) MYASUN wasn't disgraced latest and is clearly the best in this race. He is preferred to (3) FRANCKY MINUTY who goes well at this track and (1) INSEO who comes back to claiming company after a couple of handicap starts.(4) CHARLIE ROSE is not a champion but good enough to grab a place here. (2) MYASUN - (3) FRANCKY MINUTY - (1) INSEO - (4) CHARLIE ROSE

39 Race 8 1. LANDO'S GIRL - Latest win came in December 2015 at Deauville. She won that day from a mark of 24.5 and was raised to 28 and since then she has crept down very slowly. After two bad runs recently she is now down to 23.5 and she could finish in the mix 2. SPLIT STEP - Won a Course G handicap at Lyon-Parilly June 1 and was raised 3 kilos for that. He is in very good form at the moment and could be able to defy the rise in weights 3. LAVA - Latest win came at San Sebastian in August 2016 and the going was very soft that day. He has dropped in handicap very fast and on his day he could get involved 4. TRESORDARGENT - No apparent form but has been given the benefit of a doubt from the handicapper and is an outsider 5. EARL OF FIRE - This 12-year-old has made 149 starts and is a hardy sort. His rating has been steady and he is very consistent and shouldn't be far away at the finish 6.

ROMANNE - Only one win from 46 starts. Showed a little form in March but quickly went back to her not-so-good form. Very simple and passed over 8. CORRENTOSO - Changed trainer to Enrique Puente Simon who also comes with Eighteen Poems (6). It is hard to tell who is the stables first string and the betting could be important to monitor. Still a maiden from 11 starts and hasn't been seen since January. Outsider 9. SENNEVILLE - Returning to action from a break since December. Tried the all weather without much success during the fall but was rewarded with a drop in handicap. Could be the surprise package 10. DARAPHIL - Has been on this low mark for an eternity and no prospect here Despite a hefty rise in weights after a win at Lyon-Parilly, (2) SPLIT STEP gets the nod.(5) EARL OF FIRE is getting old but this race should suit him well. (9) SENNEVILLE is making a comeback but shouldn't be underestimated and on his day and with the right trip (3) LAVA could get involved.
