Race 1

1. USAIN HENNA - Seldom disappoints having recorded 21 victories and 23 places. Be in the shake-up

2. I LOVE PARIS - Useful Swedish mare who finished second here three-runs back. With shoes removed could get a look in

3. JERRY MOM - Remains barefoot. He knows how to win and is in good form. Has a winning chance

4. DRAGON DES RACQUES - Will need to improve many lengths on current form to trouble a lot of these rivals

5. DIRECT WAY - If he sparks further improvement on penultimate second he could sneak into the minor money placings

6. SUPER FEZ - Thirty-time winner who is complicated but not without ability. He has decent credentials at this venue and should be competitive

7. BALANDO - Mixes the good with the less good but surprised in a Gr.2 last year. Raffin at the helm this time and with form maintained will have his chances

8. BAD BOY DU DOLLAR - Has been battling to regain winning form and is best watched until he makes improvement

9. CARLA DU CHATELET - Form clearly proves she is best under the saddle. Look elsewhere for a possible winner

10. COLONEL - Goes barefoot. Won latest at this venue and if he reproduces a similar performance will be hard to beat

11. CANTIN DE L'ECLAIR - Recent report cards fail to inspire the punter with any confidence. Others preferred

12. CALASKA DE GUEZ - Ignore last two performances. She won four of five efforts prior and on that form looks a lively contender for top honours

13. CICERO NOA - Useful on a good day and won at Cagnes-sur-Mer in August but somewhat below par in last four and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Summary

(10) COLONEL goes barefoot and makes most appeal having won latest rather impressively. (12) CALASKA DE GUEZ is far better than last two performances suggest. She won four of five starts prior and if reproduces that form will fight out the finish. (7) BALANDO has Raffin at the helm this time and with form maintained will have his chances. (3) JERRY MOM could sneak into the minor money placings

Selections

(10) COLONEL - (12) CALASKA DE GUEZ - (7) BALANDO - (3) JERRY MOM

Race 2

1. FANTAISIE - Although she gets disqualified more often than not, she has recorded a victory and close-up second from four starts under the saddle. Chance

2. FASCINANTE HUB - Long-time maiden who has only run a place in three of eighteen starts. Others are preferred

3. FLEUR DE SUBLIGNY - Occasionally ill-disciplined but otherwise a hardy campaigner. Unlikely winner today but can place

4. FASTANIA DE VIETTE - She is ultra-consistent and has impressively won five of eight starts. Big player

5. FONTAINE DU BANNEY - Has finished ninth in last two performances and will need to improve many lengths to trouble the market leaders

6. FIDJI DE GENNES - Inconsistent one-time winner who has only run a place in five of 21 starts

7. FEERIE DES VENTES - Delicate mare whose last three results comprise two sanctions and a ninth. Has done well here before and with application can get in on the action

8. FEE SUZANNE - Useful under the saddle but gets sanctioned more often than not and is best watched for now

9. FLORETTE DE BLARY - The only time this dual winner has finished far from the action is when sanctioned. Be in the shake-up

10. FLORIANE - Handy sort that imposed under the saddle three-runs back. She has two races in her and if fully fit can figure prominently

11. FASHION TOUCH - Although disappointing of late, she kicked off her career by registering two triumphs and three seconds. If she brings that form to the course, could make the frame

12. FALBALA D'EM - Three-time winner who has finished fourth in last two appearances. With further improvement could sneak into the minor money placings

13. FIDJI DES THUYAS - Long-time maiden who has only run a place in seven of 26 appearances. Place chance at best

14. FELINE HAUFOR - Considering her four results under the saddle boast a victory and two seconds, she should fight out the finish

15. FALLING STARS - When not getting sanctioned, this three-time winner seldom disappoints. Finished third in penultimate and can earn minor money here

16. FELUCIA - Far better than last two starts suggest. Won under the saddle in

May and can have a say

Summary

(4) FASTANIA DE VIETTE simply doesn't know how to run a poor race having impressively won five of eight career starts - hard to oppose. (14) FELINE HAUFOR's four efforts under the saddle boast a victory and twi seconds. She should fight out the finish. The only time dual winner (9) FLORETTE DE BLARY has finished far from the action is when sanctioned - big player. (16) FELUCIA should not be underestimated

Selections

(4) FASTANIA DE VIETTE - (14) FELINE HAUFOR - (9) FLORETTE DE BLARY

- (16) FELUCIA

Race 3

1. GLOIRE ET BEAUTE - Although she has placed in this code, her recent form clearly proves she is best under the saddle. Look elsewhere

2. GELINDA - Seldom disappoints and has won three of last four, including latest at Enghien. Consider

3. GREYLINE - Has won four of ten starts, including latest Chatelaillon-La Rochelle. Be in the shake-up

4. GRAZIELLA - Disappointing in last two performances. capable of doing better and could finish in the money

5. GARANCE DE HOERDT - When not getting sanctioned, this dual winner consistently finishes in the mix-up

6. GONDOLE DE BLARY - Disappointing in last two starts. Capable of better and does have a place chance

7. GLORISSIMA - Has impressively recorded four victories and three thirds from last six starts. Be in the shake-up

8. GIANT CELEBRITY - In exquisite form at the moment and will attempt to register a fourth consecutive success

9. GRACIEUSE LIGHT - Far better than recent eighth suggests. Was on a two-run winning streak prior and if she brings that form to the course will likely fight out the finish

10. GLORIA DELLA MARIA - Holding form really well. Tougher task in this line-up but could earn some minor money

11. GAYA DE BELLOUET - Although still a maiden, she has placed in 50% of 12 appearances and with further improvement could go a lot closer than recent fourth

12. GEISHA DU PRE - Has been threatening to leave maiden ranks for a long time now, running a place in nine of 15 outings

13. GOOPGIRL - Capable but still a maiden after 23 starts. Minor place prospect at best

14. GUERANDE - Disappointing last four starts, but she is fit and ready for this. Could be the surprise package

15. GLOIRE DE FLEURY - Useful three-time winning trotter, who is in good form and well placed to play a role

Summary

(3) GREYLINE looks a decent sort in the making. She's won four of ten starts,

including latest Chatelaillon-La Rochelle. Be in the shake-up. (11) GAYA DE BELLOUET has placed in 50% of 12 appearances and with further improvement could go a lot closer than recent fourth. Both (7) GLORISSIMA and (8) GIANT CELEBRITY have the right form credentials to win a race like this and should not be underestimated

Selections

(3) GREYLINE - (11) GAYA DE BELLOUET - (7) GLORISSIMA - (8) GIANT

CELEBRITY

Race 4

1. FAME MUSIC - Excellent servant that rarely puts a foot out of place. Won penultimate and should not be underestimated

2. FEE DE BOISNEY - Has been on a cracking run for a minute now Fourth over this course and distance last time and can get in on the action

3. FASHION JOSSELYN - Will need to improve many lengths on most recent eleventh-place finish to win

4. FERIA DIBAH - Hard to trust. She was sanctioned in four consecutive performances prior to finishing second recently

5. FEVER - Moderate last four runs and could need this second run after layoff. Might play a minor role

6. FREGATE ISLAND - Has finished seventh in last three performances so she is extremely hard to recommend for the win

7. FLAMME DU GOUTIER - Will need to improve many lengths on most recent eighth-place finish to trouble a lot of these rivals

8. FIESTA DU BELVER - Inconsistent dual winner who tends to run in and out of the minor money placings

9. FRANCE VOIRONS - Since winning on the first time of askinh, she has only run a place in six of seventeen appearances

10. FILLE DU CHENE - Although previous form is sketchy, if this three-time winner makes improvement on recent fourth, she could sneak into the minor money placings

11. FLICKA LUCAXELO - Has finished sixth in last two outings so looks to have a place chance at best

12. FLECHE DU YUCCA - Hard opppse on recent form having won eight of last eleven starts. One to beat

13. FLORA DU POMMEREUX - Won latest at Enghien impressively and if she brings the same mentality to the course will fight out the finish

14. FLAYA KALOUMA - Six-time winner who has been enjoying something of a renaissance since starting to race unshod all four. Could surpprise

15. FIDELE DU GOUTIER - She is very hard to knock when applied and unshod all four. Has previously imposed under these conditions and should be shortlisted

Summary

(12) FLECHE DU YUCCA is extremely hard to opppse having won eight of last eleven starts. Six-time winner (14) FLAYA KALOUMA has been much-improved

since starting to race unshod on all four - could surpprise. (13) FLORA DU POMMEREUX won latest and if she brings the same mentality will fight out the finish. (1) FAME MUSIC looks an eachway prospect

Selections

POMMEREUX - (1) FAME MUSIC

Race 5

1. ETOILE DE QUESNY - Versatile sort. Can prove tricky but on good behaviour could run into the minor money placings

2. ZAUNI - Nineteen-time winner who is in exceptional form at the moment and could play a leading role to play

3. EVENING STAR - Faithful servant in this branch of the business and she adores Vincennes. Be in the shake-up

4. DYNASTY PEJI - Will need to make tremendous improvement on recent ninth to win. Look elsewhere

5. EZREAL JIEL - One-time winner who has only run a place in ten of 36 appearances. Needs to improve

6. DARK NIGHT LOVE - Although she is not the most reliable, she has impressively won eleven of 26 starts

7. DARLHEY DU RIB - Unreliable but she is always capable of popping up in the minor money placings

8. ETOILE DE BRUYERE - Two victories and just as many places from five starts under the saddle this year. Big player

9. EXOTICA DE RETZ - Five-time winner who has placed in three of last four, including when third here in latest. She will be no pushover

10. DRAGON DU FRESNE - Has battled to win or run a place in all six starts this year. Look elsewhere

Summary

(8) ETOILE DE BRUYERE has bagged two victories and just as many places from five starts under the saddle this year - be in the mix-up. (9) EXOTICA DE RETZ has placed in three of last four, including when third here in latest. (2) ZAUNI could sneak into the minor money placings

Selections

ZAUNI

Race 6

1. EARL CHICK - Won three times this year and was runner-up in penultimate. Chance in this line-up

2. ENRIQUE DE VIETTE - Quality element with decent harness references and although an unlikely winner, he could fill the minor money placings

3. EL SANTO HAUFOR - Talented three-time winner that lost his way late last season. Fifth most recently and could sneak into the picture

4. ELEGANT FARCAP - Dual victor who has finished fifth in last two performances. Eachway prospect

5. ENZO VIVA - Although previous form is sketchy, he was a noteworthy second at Cabourg last time out and with further improvement could sneak into the minor money placings

7. EJAG - Will need to improve many lengths on current form to trouble the market leaders

8. ECHO JIEL - Five-time winner who has finished close-up second in two of last three, including latest at Nancy

9. ERASME WILLIAMS - Seldom far from the action when applied. Has previously won under these conditions and on current form must be afforded respect

10. EXPRESSO GOOD - Over last seven months, he has done very little wrong. Competitive for a cheque

11. ECLAIR GOLD - Has finished eighth in two of last three and was sanctioned in penultimate. Look elsewhere

12. EASY DES FLICS - Useful in both codes. Currently in good form under harness and should be competitive

13. EOLIEN DE CHENU - Goes unshod and considering last eight at Vincennes boast two wins, a second and three thirds - he looks a lively contender for top honours

14. EL GRECO BELLO - In exquisite form at the moment and will attempt to register a third consecutive triumph

15. EAGLE EYES - Seven-time winner who blows hot cold but is not short of ability. Triumphant in latest and if he reproduces a similar performance could sneak into the frame

16. EL CONDOR PILLIERE - Fine servant that is hard to fault when applied and barefoot. He is a three-time winner at Vincennes and on current form looks a

serious proposition

Summary

(14) EL GRECO BELLO has been firing on all cylinders of late and will attempt to register a third consecutive success. (16) EL CONDOR PILLIERE is a three-time winner at Vincennes and on current form looks a serious proposition. (10) EXPRESSO GOOD has done very little wrong over last seven months and should be competitive for cheque. (13) EOLIEN DE CHENU looks the joker in pack

Selections

(14) EL GRECO BELLO - (16) EL CONDOR PILLIERE - (10) EXPRESSO

GOOD - (13) EOLIEN DE CHENU

Race 7

1. FORMIDABLE VOYAGE - Surprisingly below par in last two starta but otherwise in fine form over past five months. Will have his supporters

2. FALMACO DES ANGLES - Will need to improve many lengths on recent report cards to trouble a lot of these rivals

3. FORTO DEO - Followed up penultimate second with a victory at Nancy. Be in the shake-up

4. FIGARO VICI - Three-time winning Scandinavian colt that won at Vichy three-runs back. Sixth last time and can get in on the action

5. FOR EVER MIX - Got off the mark in good order over shorter at Enghien in penultimate. Disqualified in latest but will have his chances

6. FINGER DE RODREY - Has only run a place in two of eleven appearances this year. Needs to pull his socks up

7. FATSBY DE GUEZ - Although he gets sanctioned more often than not, he was on a two-run winning streak prior to finishing third most recently. Big player

8. FAKIR STARDUST - Inconsistent three-time winner that has only run a place in three of 23. Tread lightly

9. FRED DU GUERET - Triumphant last timr out and if he reproduces anything close to that offering will surely fight out the finish

10. FALCO SACHA - One-time winner who looks a big player having followed up his penultimate third with a second

11. FLASH DE CELLAND - Although this one-time winner's previous form is inconsistent, he was a game second in latest and could fight out the finish

12. FRIMEUR DU START - In good form at the moment and won penultimate at this course. Respect

13. FALCO SOMOLLI - Has bagged four triumphs and two places from eleven outings. He only disappoints when getting disqualified

14. FELICIO DU JOAMAX - Quality element but has placed just once in seven starts at Vincennes. He is in form though and should not be underestimated

15. FOX PAPA TANGO - Was disqualified in three consecutive outings prior to finishinh eleventh last time out

Summary

(9) FRED DU GUERET won latest here and if he reproduces anything close to that offering will surely fight out the finish. (3) FORTO DEO followed up penultimate second with a victory at Nancy. Be in the shake-up. Although (5)

FOR EVER MIX was disqualified last time out, he won penultimate and judged on that showing looks a lively contender for top honours. (10) FALCO SACHA shouldn't be too from the action passing the finish line

Selections

(9) FRED DU GUERET - (3) FORTO DEO - (5) FOR EVER MIX - (10) FALCO

SACHA

Race 8

1. GONDOR LAUMA - Has been very disappointing to date in both disciplines and will have few friends

2. GEGE DE L'AUNAY - Extremely hard to recommend having only run a place in one of twelve starts

3. GRANTURISMO LEPINE - Although third in latest, he is yet to take the world by storm and this is unlikely to change his ways

4. GELATO - Hardy sort that has placed in two of five starts under the saddle. Can make the first five

5. GANADAM - Followed up debut third with a victory so he has very good references in this code. Eachway prospect

6. GRAFFITI JIEL - Kicked off his career with a win and although he lost form shortly after, there was a lot to like about his most recent triumph. With application can put on a good show

7. GOSTELLU MAG - Showed promise earlier in the year but has been a total write off since and can be ruled out

8. GOLEADOR D'ETANG - Has struggled in four consecutive starts since winning on debut. Place chance

9. GAZOUILLIS DU MAS - Was on an impressive two-run winning streak prior to being sanctioned in last two. Can make amends

10. GAVROCHE BEST - Still chasing his first win but has shown ability on a number of occasions. Unlikely winner but can pick up a stake

11. GENLOU BLOND - Hard to fault in this speciality having recorded two victories and a third from four. Big player

12. GOOD MORNING BIBIS - Complicated individual but has shown potential. Has only raced twice under the saddle for a commendable second and fourth. will have his supporters

13. GOLD DU VAL - If this long-time maiden makes further on recent Enghien second, he will give the selection a scare passing the finish

Summary

(11) GENLOU BLOND makes most appeal having recorded two victories and a third from four starts under the saddle. There was a lot to like about (6) GRAFFITI JIEL's most recent triumph. With application can put on a good show. (13) GOLD DU VAL and (5) GANADAM have been doing well in this speciality and should be shortlisted

Jockey of the day : Kilian Dubourg (307, 605, 713)

Horse of the day : Rock Sky (613)

Dark Horse : Pop Up (505)

Race 1

1. ABSTEME - Both of his wins from seven starts this year have come at Durtal including one earlier this month. Tough test here

2. POKER DE BALLON - Has some fair chase form this year including a win at Le Pertre in September. Interesting on Cross Country debut

3. VITADOR - Runner up at Nuille Vicoin and Senonnes before a fair third here last time out. Leading contender

4. DESIRS DES BLAISES - Still a maiden after thirty three starts and his record in this discipline has been poor

5. DIAMS DU RIVAGE - Runner up and fourth here in Cross Country races in her last two starts. Not without a chance

6. GO WILKO - A faller in a claiming chase at Paray-Le-Monial in a claiming chase last time out. Others preferred

Summary

After finishing runner up at Nuille Vicoin and Senonnes (3) VITADOR was a fair third behind Don Du Ciel over course and distance here last time out on October 29th. He can return yo winning ways today and can confirm placings with (5) DIAMS DU RIVAGE who was behind him in fourth last time out. (2) POKER DE BALLON is next best.

Selections

(3) VITADOR - (5) DIAMS DU RIVAGE - (2) POKER DE BALLON - (1)

ABSTEME

Race 2

1. FRENCH DREAM - Generally effective in this division. A winner at Moulins last time out and can go close again today

2. ANDALOUSIE - Disappointing when pulled up in a claiming chase here ten days ago. Needs to improve

3. LILIE - A well beaten sixth in a claiming chase here ten days ago. Capable of better than that

4. PATRYANN STLAURENT - Probably needed her comeback run at Compiegne earlier month and could run in to a place here

5. SASSARI - Won a claiming hurdle at Compiegne last month and was runner up in one there seven days ago. Consider

6. COUP DE MAITRE - Twelve start maiden. Has been placed in this division over fences but hard to recommended here

7. FEE DU BOSC - Has done little of note in six starts over hurdles and one in a chase. Needs to improve

8. FANTASTIQUE LAND - Pulled up in two and unplaced in the other three of five career starts to date. Others preferred

9. FIANCEE DU LARGE - Reasonably consistent in the claiming hurdle division and can get a look in here today

Summary

(5) SASSARI won a claiming hurdle at Compiegne last month and was runner up behind the easy winner Portentoso in one there seven days ago. She is the selection to beat (1) FRENCH DREAM who won a claiming hurdle over 3800m at Moulins last time out and must be respected. (4) PATRYANN STLAURENT and (9) FIANCEE DU LARGE can make the frame.

Selections

(5) SASSARI - (1) FRENCH DREAM - (4) PATRYANN STLAURENT - (9)

FIANCEE DU LARGE

Race 3

1. PRINCE DE LA BARRE - Well beaten third of five finishers in a handicap chase at Meslay-Du-Maine eight days ago

2. BYE BYE D'ORTIGE - Has run only three times so far this season and will need to improve from those outings

3. QUINZE DE LA ROSE - Has won his last two races in the Czech Republic and Italy. Place prospects here today

4. STOP - Chase winner at Beaupreau in August and won over hurdles at Argentan last month. Can be in the mix

5. WINTERFELL - Won a chase on his reappearance at Meslay-Du-Maine earlier this month and is not ruled out today

6. MIRACLE DU DESERT - Has not run since November of 2018 when a fair third to Guaduloup in a chase at Compiegne

7. LIMPOPO HAS - Decent effort behind Beau Nora in a handicap chase at Toulouse last time out. Leading player

8. GREEN ROCKS - Runner up behind Joffre La Victoire in a chase at Nancy last month. Tougher test today

9. POLYQUICK - Won a handicap hurdle over one year ago at Auteuil but has done nothing of note since then

10. WANAPSI SIM - Pulled up on his reappearance in a hurdle race at Niort last month. Others preferred here

11. BACARA DES BOIS - Still a maiden after twenty one career outings and is hard to recommend on her chase debut

Summary

(7) LIMPOPO HAS ran well behind Beau Nora in a handicap chase at Toulouse last time out after finishing second on his reappearance at Angouleme earlier last month. He gets the vote ahead of (5) WINTERFELL who won a chase on his reappearance at Meslay-Du-Maine this month. (4) STOP and (3) QUINZE DE LA ROSE can make the frame.

Selections

(7) LIMPOPO HAS - (5) WINTERFELL - (4) STOP - (3) QUINZE DE LA ROSE

Race 4

1. FACILE A VIVRE - Remains a maiden after ten career runs. Well beaten seventh in a chase here last time out

2. FORZA - Runner up behind Divine Prestige in a chase over this trip here last time out. Can have a say

3. DUC DE MERAN - Five time winner from thirteen starts, two of them over hurdles. Hard to recommend here on his chase debut

4. SAMBA NONANTAISE - Comfortable winner over hurdles here last month and can make a winning chase debut today

5. TIC - Third in her only chase start to date at Le Touquet in September. Place claims here today

6. ROSELOVE HAS - A winner over hurdles at Compiegne in May. Fell on her chase debut here last month. Respected

7. FANTAISIE MUSICALE - Won over hurdles last year. One place from four starts over fences this season. More required

8. FATINES - One success from eight runs which came on seasonal reappearance at Chateaubriant in May. Chase debut today

Summary

A comfortable winner over hurdles on her reappearance here last month the Macaire trained (4) SAMBA NONANTAISE is the selection to make a winning chase debut today. (2) FORZA finished runner up behind Divine Prestige in a chase over this trip here last time out and looks the main danger. (6) ROSELOVE HAS and (5) TIC are next best.

Selections

(4) SAMBA NONANTAISE - (2) FORZA - (6) ROSELOVE HAS - (5) TIC

Race 5

1. STORM OF DESIRE - Third on debut at Le Touquet and two sixth place finishes since then

2. KAPROSE D'ANJOU - Seventh on debut at Dieppe and third at Moulins next time. Absent since June but has every chance

3. VALVIKA - Tenth on debut at Auteuil in March but showed something to work on there

4. MAGIC BREIZH EAGLE - A newcomer by Mesnil Des Aigles out of a Next Desert mare. Dam was a maiden and this is her first foal to race

5. POP UP - Promising fifth on racecourse and hurdles debut at Niort last month and will be a force here

6. GOODY - A newcomer by Cokoriko out of a Video Rock mare. Dam was minor winner and four of her six foals have been successful

7. GEEVESTON - A newcomer by Cokoriko out of a Fragrant Mix mare. Dam was unraced and this is also her first foal to come to track

8. ONE CALL AWAY - No placing from her ten runs so far and that statistic should be enhanced here again

9. FOLIE PASSAGERE - A newcomer by Kapgarde out of a Ballingarry mare. Dam was a triple winner and this is her first progeny to come racing

10. GRANDE PREMIERE - Sixth on her racecourse and hurdles debuut at Moulins last month. Should come on from that for big connections

11. GADOU GIRL - A newcomer by Barastraight out of a Cadoudal mare. Dam was a winner and both her foals have also been successful

12. POMM RUN - Unplaced on all five outings and has an amount of work to do on that evidence

13. STOP LINE - Sixth on debut in flat maiden at Strasbourg last month and there was some merit in that

14. LOUANAS - Fell on debut at Auteuil and then came in fifth at Saint Brieuc. Has shown a good deal

15. DONNA KAROLINA - Unplaced on all three outings and surely has a big amount to find here on that evidence

16. GOUDINE MARVELLOUS - Unplaced in all her four outings and surely a similar fate could await here

Summary

A juvenile condition hurdle here for the fillies. (5) POP UP could do just that following a promising enough debut at Niort last month and if building on that just might get the better of (2) KAPROSE D'ANJOU who looks a clear second best. (7) GEEVESTON is a very interesting newcomer. (14) LOUANAS and (1) STORM OF DESIRE can have a look in too.

Selections

(5) POP UP - (2) KAPROSE D'ANJOU - (7) GEEVESTON - (14) LOUANAS - (1)

STORM OF DESIRE

Race 6

1. GUPPY DE LA BRUNIE - Placed in the first three of five runs and could be interesting for the frame

2. POLYVALENT - Third on both runs at Dax and Niort and sure to play a huge part here today

3. OURAGAN INDIEN - One third place finish from four runs. Pulled up at Auteuil last time

4. LE ZINO - Placed on the last of three runs which came at Lyon Parilly and could run well

5. POLLEXFEN - Third on racecourse and hurdles debut at Vichy in September and a surefire improver

6. MANGO BARON - Sixth on debut at Strasbourg and then third at Lyon Parilly last time. Possible improver

7. MONTBRAY - One win from eleven outings. Unplaced on hurdles debut at Compiegne last time out

8. GOLDAYAR - Unplaced on both runs to date and will have a huge task on hands here

9. RIO BORGET - Pulled up on debut and sole start at Compiegne last month and will have little hope

10. SUN D'ART - Sixth on racecourse and hurdles debut at Niort last month and will have to improve a bundle

11. BUCK'S BO MEC - Came in sixth on racecourse and hurdles debut at Auteuil in March and did show a little something

12. GOSPEL SPIRIT - By Spirit One out of a Grape Tree Road mare. Dam was placed maiden and both her offspring have won so far

13. ROCK SKY - Both runs have come at Auteuil over last few months and came sixth and seventh in those. Showed promise there

14. SALTIMBANQUE - One fourth place finish from five outings and has a big task on hands

15. GUYANO BELLO - Out of frame on both runs. Did not show much there and also has an absence to overcome

16. AUGUST DREAM - Some promise on three unplaced runs to date and should win at some point in future

Summary

Guillaume Macaire has a very interesting contender here in the shape of (13) ROCK SKY who has only two unplaced efforts at Auteuil to his name so far but he showed in those that he has a degree of talent. Much more will be expected today. The price should be mouthwatering. (2) POLYVALENT is the form choice and is of course dangerous. (5) POLLEXFEN and (3) OURAGAN INDIEN have frame claims alongside (1) GUPPY DE LA BRUNIE.

Selections

Race 7

1. CASIMIR - Four wins from twenty runs. Sixth last time out at Auteuil. Could well figure

2. AMORDORO - Just the two runs and a huge break between those efforts. Placed in both of those and every chance

3. FANTASTIC ROCK - Three runs and won on flat debut at Vichy. Both runs since at Auteuil. Pulled up last time

4. FANTASIO - Has had seven outings. Third on the latest of those which came at Saint Brieuc

5. FLEUR DE L'AIR - A dual winner from a dozen runs. Fifth at Les Sables Olonne last time out

6. CREASY FASHION - Pulled up on only start which came at Auteuil earlier this month so loads to do

7. OBJET D'OR - By Axxos out of a Mansonnien mare. Dam was unraced and one of her four foals have been successful

8. OKIAM DES MOTTES - One success from nineteen runs. Form looks extremely moderate to be fair

9. FOXDAMON - Fifth on sole run which came in a flat race at Machecoul in April. Best watched

10. SIMSONG - Placed in a quarter of his sixteen runs. More will be required here today

11. SEXYFISH - By Authorized out of a Highest Honor mare. Dam was a dual winner in Britain and all five of her foals have been winners including smart Harrie

12. BANOUSH - One of the yards lesser lights with one success from fourteen runs. Still has a shout

13. FORTUNE DU LARGE - Sixth of the seven finishers on debut at Pau nearly a year ago. Could be interesting

Summary

This will take little winning and a chance is taken on an animal that may represent huge value. That one is the perceived second string of Guillaume Macaire. (13) FORTUNE DU LARGE only beat one home on debut at Pau just under a year ago but that was a hot contest and she did show something there. (2) AMORDORO is totally unexposed and dangerous. (1) CASIMIR and (12) BANOUSH have each way claims.
