4th (9)  Ganay De Banville |  | | | | 8 | J M Bazire | J M Bazire | 3rd in Gr.2 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere before faulting in Argentan race of reference. Runs barefoot this time and, with stride in check, can get in on the action | ||
2nd (8)  Ampia Mede Sm | | | | | 8 | B Rochard | T H Duvaldestin | Good 3rd, behind HOHNECK (2), in 1609m Gr.2 Criterium de Vitesse de Basse-Normandie at Argentan on 10 August. Would have preferred a better draw but is entrusted to Benjamin Rochard and will be afforded every chance | ||
3rd (5)  Emeraude De Bais | | | | | 10 | F Nivard | B Goetz | Solid winner of a 1609m Cagnes Gr.2 on 24 August. Is well-positioned behind the car and can play an important role if Franck Nivard keeps her focused | ||
1st (3)  Idao De Tillard | | | | | 6 | Cl Duvaldestin | T H Duvaldestin | Has not been seen out since running 2nd to Horsy Dream in 2100m Gr.1 Prix Rene Balliere at Vincennes on 23 June. Has a lot going for him here and will be expected to return to winning ways | ||
(1)  Hussard Du Landret | | | | | 7 | B Robin | B Robin | Classy element but has not been seen out since trotting 6th of 8 finishers in 2150m Gr.1 Prix de l'Atlantique last April. Shoes on and will not be given a hard race | ||
(2)  Hohneck | | | | | 7 | G Gelormini | P H Allaire | Won Gr.2 Prix de Washington before coming 2nd of 9 finishers in 1609m Gr.2 Criterium de Vitesse de Basse-Normandie at Argentan on 10 August. There is a reason he is richest horse here. Chance | ||
(4)  Gu D'Heripre | | | | | 8 | Theo Duvaldestin | T H Duvaldestin | Has raced just once since Prix d'Amerique, coming 6th of 10 in a 2700m Graignes Class D conditioner early last month. Sports a new configuration and can apply the pressure on IDAO DE TILLARD (3) | ||
(6)  Elvis Du Vallon | | | | | 10 | P Y Verva | C H Cuiller | Unthreatening 5th of 9 finishers in 1609m Gr.2 Criterium de Vitesse de Basse-Normandie at Argentan on 10 August. Has ample ability, and sports modified shoeing, but faces an even stiffer test this time around | ||
(7)  Hooker Berry | | | | | 7 | N Bazire | J M Bazire | Superb winner of Gr.2 Prix Chambon P early-June before trotting 5th of 8 in a 2950m Vichy Gr.2 a month later. Will be fresh but cannot be considered a priority | ||
(10)  Eric The Eel | | | | | 8 | F Ouvrie | T Malmqvist | Showed marked improvement when 3rd to EMERAUDE DE BAIS (5) in 1609m Cagnes Gr.2 on 24 August. Handed a tough draw here and can expect to have few takers | ||
(11)  Marion Fouty Bon | | | | | 7 | B Piton | L Cl Abrivard | Reassuring winner of a 2250m Enghien monte Class C 3.5 weeks ago but, in this company, will struggle to make the grade | ||
(12)  Inmarosa | | | | | 6 | Leo Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | 4th in Argentan Gr.2 Criterium de Vitesse race of reference. Has never delivered over a mile but has significant class and, despite the 2nd-row draw, must be taken seriously | ||
(13)  Self Explosive | | | | | 9 | J Ch Piton | Vitale Ciotola | Unraced since trotting 6th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class B 9 months ago and will have nothing to contribute |
Unseen in the winners' enclosure since his metre-munching Prix de Selection success, IDAO DE TILLARD (3) enjoys an ideal draw and reverts to a previous formula in order to keep at bay the rejuvenated and confirmed miler, HOHNECK (2), who starts upsides. That said, Philippe Allaire's charge may first have to defer to the favourite's stablemate GU D'HERIPRE (4) who is fitted with front pads for the first time. Impressive in a Cagnes Gr.2 late last month, EMERAUDE DE BAIS (5) is not about to let th

2nd (4)  Farmony De Jupille | | | | | 9 | K Phlypo | Mme Carine De Soete | Less-performant than she was during the spring, most recently 6th of 10, behind HAZEL DOPE (9), over 2300m at Mons late-July. Has little going for her here and can be disregarded | ||
1st (9)  Hazel Dope | | | | | 7 | S Hoste | I Dierickx | Good, consistent mare that ran 3rd in a 2750m amateurs Class G here late last month. Deserves to have won more than once in her 100 starts and while unlikely to deliver this time, can still challenge for a step on the podium | ||
3rd (6)  Goption Montaval | | | | | 8 | L Rivenet | Mme G Masschaele | Lost her action in a 2675m amateurs Class G at Divonne-les-Bains a fortnight ago, but has form at the venue and, with stride in check, will not be far from the action | ||
4th (1)  Hugolino | | | | | 7 | S Grisez | Pavel Tamsin | Won 2 straight amateur events before coming 6th of 10 in a 2800m Strasbourg Class F last week. Returns to his category of choice and will be expected to make a big impact | ||
(2)  Grande Malice | | | | | 8 | Th Huchede | Mme G Masschaele | 4th, a place behind HAZEL DOPE (9), in a 2750m amateurs Class G here on 27 August. Is not about to open her 2024 account but can still finish in the mix | ||
(3)  Houblon Bleu | | | | | 7 | Jean Maxime Lesne | R Chaussier | Unremarkable 6th of 10 in a 2525m amateurs Class H at Les Andelys last Saturday and will struggle to make his presence felt | ||
(5)  Hebe Du Petit Odon | | | | | 7 | M Meyer De Wulf | G Houel | 5th of 10 in a 2675m Vertou Class F on 25 August. Has only been beaten once in the amateur division when barefoot and, from the 5-spot, can bring home the bacon | ||
(7)  Flash Back Du Nord | | | | | 9 | Mme A K Rasmussen | R Kuiper | Pleased at Saint-Omer before coming 6th in late-July race of reference and will need to find more | ||
(8)  Golovkin Nathanpi | | | | | 8 | Mme B Demoulin | G Laureys | In the frame in 3 of last 4, latterly 3rd of 10 in a 2900m Arras amateurs Class G 2.5 weeks ago. Not ideally-drawn but form is not in question and will justifiably generate interest |
Twice a winner at this level, HEBE DU PETIT ODON (5) showed her form in the professional ranks 10 days ago, returns to the category with revised shoeing, and is well-placed to get her nose back in front. Maxime De Wulf will still want to be wary of HUGOLINO (1) who has never disappointed in the amateur division, and recent La Capelle 3rd, HAZEL DOPE (9), whose draw is less of an issue in this small field. A faithful servant for the most part, GOPTION MONTAVAL (6) is plainly in terrific shape and

2nd (7)  Joyce Des Granges | | | | | 5 | P Y Verva | C H Nicole | Quality element that came last of 15, on re-entry 3 weeks ago, in a 2875m Enghien Class D. Races barefoot this time and, if race-fit, could pleasantly surprise | ||
3rd (5)  Kaiser River | | | | | 4 | G Gelormini | S Guarato | Is considerably better than his 8th of 10 in a 2150m Cagnes Class B late-July would suggest. Is a capricious soul but will be dangerous if his driver keeps him trotting | ||
1st (6)  Joker D'Occagnes | | | | | 5 | F Nivard | G Curens | Won at Enghien early-July before coming 5th of 15 in a 2875m Enghien Class D 3 weeks ago. Enjoys a good entry and with a top driver reining, must be respected | ||
4th (3)  Kentucky Wood | | | | | 4 | F Ouvrie | J R Delliaux | Has looked a different horse since starting to race with pads, latterly winning a 2700m Class B at Grenade-sur-Garonne mid-August, and has every chance of repeating | ||
(1)  Jojo Lapin | | | | | 5 | N Bazire | D Brouwer | Returns to France after coming 4th of 7 over 3200m at Berlin-Mariendorf 2.5 weeks ago, but appears to have his work cut out | ||
(2)  Kalicia Josselyn | | | | | 4 | J Ch Piton | J Raffegeau | Off the boil for last 17 months, latterly sanctioned when unsupported in a 2050m Cabourg Class D on 16 August, and is not a realistic proposition | ||
(4)  Jodanne Dieschoot | | | | | 5 | B Rochard | F Leblanc | Back on the boil after a lean streak, most recently 3rd of 11 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E on 19 August, and with Benjamin Rochard reining this time, will be afforded a competitive run |
After a pair of conditioners, KENTUCKY WOOD (3) got straight back in the game and, with Franck Ouvrie back in the bike, can confirm his recent victory. He will, however be keeping a watchful eye on KAISER RIVER (5) who is reunited with Gabi Gelormini, and the on-form JOKER D'OCCAGNES (6) who receives a Franck Nivard drive for the occasion.

2nd (12)  Lilas Castelle | | | | | 3 | G Gelormini | C Buhigne | Drops down the class-ladder after coming 7th of 9 in a 2175m Vincennes Gr.2 2.5 weeks ago. Starts with a 50m handicap but still looks a serious proposition | ||
1st (4)  Lady Princess | | | | | 3 | B Piton | B Piton | Twice a winner over track and trip before coming 6th, a place behind LUMIERE DU CHENE (7), in a 2150m Enghien Class D mid-August. Faces a good bunch here but is well-placed to pick up a minor place cheque | ||
3rd (7)  Lumiere Du Chene | | | | | 3 | F Nivard | J Mer | Won over course and distance before coming 5th of 14 in a 2150m Enghien Class D mid-August. Is plainly a progressive filly and will be expected to make the most of her front row break | ||
(1)  Lepidopteriste | | | | | 3 | M Verva | P Y Verva | Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 18 June. Has not raced since and is unlikely to shake things up | ||
(2)  Lamkelze De Niel | | | | | 3 | F Ouvrie | Pavel Tamsin | Won a Class E over course and distance before faulting early and coming last of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D a week ago, and can play an active role if he gets off on the right foot | ||
(3)  Lifou Iris'Eyes | | | | | 3 | J M Chaineux | J M Chaineux | Capable but unthreatening 4th of 8 in a Class D over course and distance on 7 July. Unraced since and not a priority | ||
(5)  Lucky Boy Vertrac | | | | | 3 | B Rochard | Pavel Tamsin | Useful colt that lost his maiden tag 2.5 weeks ago in a 3025m Class E at Montier-en-Der. 4 pads fitted this time and from the front line, should not be far off the mark | ||
(6)  Lord Du Trieux | | | | | 3 | Ch Criado | F Criado | Makes first appearance since finishing 3rd of 8 in a 2150m Enghien Class D late-June. Pads fitted for re-entry but no more than a minor place prospect | ||
(8)  Legolas Paulois | | | | | 3 | P Y Verva | P Y Verva | Runner up here late-July before coming 3rd of 7 in a 2150m Enghien Class D 3 weeks ago. Nicely-engaged on first line and is unlikely to disappoint | ||
(9)  Ludiver Des Vaux | | | | | 3 | A Bourgoin-Timbert | B Bourgoin | Tenacious 2nd of 7 in a 2675m Class C at Divonne-les-Bains a fortnight ago. Incurs the penalty once more and enjoys an excellent opportunity to lose his maiden status | ||
(10)  Le Cap | | | | | 3 | J Vanmeerbeck | J Vanmeerbeck | Unexceptional 5th of 11 in a 2950m Vichy Class B last week and in this company will have little to offer | ||
(11)  Lotus Zen | | | | | 3 | M Dupuis | M Dupuis | Last of 5 in a 2175m Vincennes monte Gr.3 on 24 August. Here for reasons of conditioning and, incurring a 50m penalty, can be passed over |
Back in business since returning to racing shod, LUDIVER DES VAUX (9) is clearly close to his race and, in spite of the handicap, still looks the horse to beat. A further 25m behind, the well-regarded LILAS CASTELLE (12) takes a dip in category and, with application, can make a big splash. A winner here in late-July, LUMIERE DU CHENE (7) sports 4 pads for the first time and will be no pushover from the first line. LEGOLAS PAULOIS (8) defied his odds at Enghien recently and, already confirmed at

1st (8)  Ideale D'Arcey | | | | | 6 | P Y Verva | A Thouroude | Encountered traffic problems, coming 7th of 11 in a 2750m Cabourg Class E last week. Showed her form though and can play a prominent part if Pierre-Yves Verva keeps her trotting | ||
3rd (7)  Ironwood Paris | | | | | 6 | B Rochard | C H Heslouin | Gives a good account for the most part when focused, most recently a reassuring 3rd of 8 in a 2500m Class F at La Rochelle and, with form maintained, could yet open his 2024 account | ||
(1)  Indigo Du Perche | | | | | 6 | G Gelormini | H Van Den Hende | On the way back up, most recently 3rd of 9 in a 3150m Abbeville Class H late-July. Races barefoot this time and although not a leading contender, is still worth retaining | ||
(2)  Ilfuego | | | | | 6 | F Ouvrie | B Verlaine | Makes first appearance since coming last of 9 in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 17 July. Has form in this category and should not be underestimated | ||
(3)  Idole Haufor | | | | | 6 | J Ch Piton | C H Bigeon | Returns to racing left-handed after missing out by little in a 2000m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 2.5 weeks ago. Handed a terrific draw and Jean-Charles Piton will be loathe to pass up such a good opportunity | ||
(4)  Icare Du Douet | | | | | 6 | G Houel | S Rousselle | Sanctioned in 4 of last 6, latterly a 2650m Vertou Class H 10 days ago, and in spite of the good draw, is a minor place chance at best | ||
(5)  Imow Rolau | | | | | 6 | Ph Daugeard | P H Daugeard | Clearly back at the top of his game, latterly winning a 3150m Abbeville amateurs Class H with ease a week ago. Enjoys a decent spot in front and looks competitive for a repeat | ||
(9)  Ibello Du Bocage | | | | | 6 | K Depuydt | Mme Carine De Soete | Returns to France after coming 5th of 12 over 2300m at Mons late last week. Steps up in category but can still hold his own | ||
(10)  Itou Des Genievres | | | | | 6 | Ph Masschaele | Mme G Masschaele | Unthreatening 5th of 9 in a 2850m Mauquenchy amateurs Class G a month back but still has a lot more to find | ||
(11)  Itac De Picdom | | | | | 6 | L J Legros | J M Legros | 4th here early-July but out of the picture in 4 since, latterly sanctioned in a 2600m Class F at Le Touquet 2.5 weeks ago, and can be ruled out | ||
(12)  In The Sun | | | | | 6 | L Cannaert | L Cannaert | Last but one in a 2600m Class E at Le Touquet last Sunday and backs up with no realistic chance |
Third at Pornichet before winning over longer at Abbeville late last month, IMOW ROLAU (5) has never been tested below 2100m but is well-placed in front and, in current form, can double up. He will still come under pressure from IRONWOOD PARIS (7) who has placed in 2 of his last 3, and the well-positioned IDOLE HAUFOR (3) who gave an excellent account last time out. IDEALE D'ARCEY (8) was not the luckiest at Cabourg, but Pierre-Yves Verva reining this time should make all the difference.

2nd (3)  Helium Velco | | | | | 7 | Th Dromigny | N Dromigny | Failed to confirm his Argentan victory when last but one in a 2050m Cabourg Class D on 9 August. Pleased on lone appearance at La Capelle and Thibaut Dromigny will be keen to set the record straight | ||
4th (2)  Flocon Montjeanais | | | | | 9 | B Rochard | J Planchard | Showed improvement when 4th of 11 in a 2900m Ploermel Class F 10 days ago. Is well-placed behind the car, with Benjamin Rochard reining, and is unlikely to be far off the mark | ||

One of the most consistent horses in the field, HAPPY ATOUT (6) made up for his Vichy blip with a reassuringly good Mauquenchy performance and from the front row, can finally open his La Capelle account. That being said, he will be pitted against HAND FULL (5) who has not finished out of the first 2 since April, and recent Argentan winner HELIUM VELCO (3) who is out to make amends for his Cabourg disappointment.

4th (2)  Heva Blonde | | | | | 7 | Mlle O Briand | F Leblanc | Imposed at La Rochelle before faulting early in a 2725m Pornichet Class E 2 weeks ago, but can play an active role if Oceane Briand assures the mare's initial strides | ||

In the frame in his last 4 monte starts, GALOPIN DE MARTHE (3) won under harness here earlier in the year and deserves to have his day in the sun. On just her second appearance under the saddle, GALIE DE CELINIERE (8) gave a terrific account early last month, is shod to preference, and Estelle Croisic will be eyeing victory this time. Winner at La Rochelle a month ago, HEVA BLONDE (2) faulted early at Pornichet next time but will be no easy touch if she gets off on the right foot. GLADIATOR BOY

(12)  Donizetti | | | | | 6 | J Ch Piton | J Westholm | Last of 5 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class D on 30 July. Has nothing to offer here and can be passed over | ||
(13)  Illico Des Baux | | | | | 6 | M Verva | Mme Taran | 5th of 9 in 2350m Waregem group event last week. Races barefoot this time but others still preferred |
Occasionally a handful he can be but COOL KRONOS (10) comes to La Capelle on a hat-trick, is behind in earnings, and with application, will be expected to make it 3 on the trot. Leading the opposition, HABIT DE SOIREE (6) thrives at the venue, is clearly in excellent shape and is better-placed on the front line. Hard to fault in the day's configuration, HAWAI PONT VAUTIER (7) will be no easy touch, and neither will the ideally-positioned IPALIO (3) who is barefoot for the occasion.
