6S GougeonLoic GroussardTrounced here mid-month before finishing 11th of 13 in a 2725m Pornichet Class F last weekend, and has no possible chance


Just Ac‚A¬200 shy of elimination, IDEFIX DHELPA (7) has been in cracking form this term and looks a serious candidate for success this time. He nevertheless faces a stiff test against the similarly consistent IDEAL DE SASSY (1), and the reconfigured IROCCO DE VIETTE (8) who missed out by the smallest of margins at Cavaillon. IPSOS DE BANVILLE (2) may have little love for Laval but his form is sure and Tom Beauvais will appreciate the draw.

Easy winner of her first seasonal objective earlier in the month, JASMINE DU MAXFRAN (8) goes barefoot again and with David Thomain back in the bike, can repeat. She will however be up against the erratic but useful JALNA DU BUISSON (7) who races barefoot and is reunited with Eric Raffin, and the reconfigured and well-positioned JUSTE PARFAITE (4) who did not enjoy the best of trips at Caen recently.

The main protagonists find themselves well-positioned on the front line here, but two in particular stand out. In cracking form, JUGEMENT D'AVE (1) was very unlucky at Vire and if Yoann Lebourgeois keeps him out of trouble, he should just have the measure of the better-positioned JOYAU BLUE (3) who has hardly put a foot wrong since May. Pleasant 3rd at Vincennes earlier this month, JAMSHIR (4) will have his chances, as should the reinvigorated JOYAU DU RIB (5) who opened his 2024 account at Grai

On quite the run of form since the spring, HOCHE (11) returns to Laval on a hat-trick and, similarly-shod, has every chance of pulling it off. It will not be all plain sailing for Francois Lagadeuc though considering how well the Laval-loving HABIT DE SOIREE (12) has been comporting himself recently. HASUR DAIRPET (8) is clearly back on the right road and should be able to turn the tables on HASARD D'ERABLE (16) who had his measure at Cabourg late last month.

5th (4) Liberta Del Phedo
3G LenainP TouvaisBack under the saddle after faulting in a 2950m Saint-Malo harness Class F last month, and is not about to cause an upset
11th (10) Limati De La Dive
3J CerisierP L Rousseau3rd at Alencon on monte debut before running 4th of 9 in a 2800m Moulins harness Class F mid-month, and seems to be biting off more than he can chew
3rd (1) Lynx Du Lupin
3Cl FrecelleL JublotUntried sort that qualified without fanfare here early-July and looks to have too much to do first time out
4th (12) Lady Jules
3P Edouard MaryP MaryHas demonstrated decent aptitude but has not been seen out since coming 5th of 7 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C last February and will need the run
10th (2) L'Imperiale Ar
3A GendrotM SassierModerate 4th at Les Sables-d'Olonne before faulting early in a 2175m Vincennes Class D on 10 September. Has a lot of room for improvement though and, if behaved, can play a small part
6th (5) Le Roupio
3S PasquierJ L DersoirHas not been seen out since faulting in a 2850m Laon Class F 3 months ago. Takes on better this time and others easier to trust
9th (7) La Storia
0A AndreAntonin AndreEncouraged at Caen earlier in the month but failed to confirm when sanctioned in a 2450m Caen Class E last Saturday, and can be passed over
1st (8) Lacinia
3E RaffinC H DreuxLost her action in a Class E over course and distance on 6 September. Eric Raffin maintains faith though and it is only a question of time. Attention
8th (9) Le King
3A AngotC Buhigne3rd over course and distance 3 weeks ago before finishing 5th of 9 in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d'Olonne last Friday, and represents no more than a minor place prospect
7th (15) Loyal Du Choquel
3V SaussayeN Bridault5th of 11 finishers, behind LE KING (9), in a Class E over track and trip 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but will not be available at 181/1 either
2nd (17) Loumanas
3B RochardJ NiskanenComfortably won at Le Croise-Laroche earlier this month, first time out, before being sanctioned, when favourite, in a 2750m harness Class E at La Capelle on 13 September, but can play a prominent role if applied
(3) Lord Fauntleroy
3P Ph PloquinGuillermo VidalSanctioned in both return runs, most recently a 2500m Reims harness Class F late-August. Back under the saddle, with hind pads fitted, but others still preferred
(6) Lavater Gede
3Alexandre BodinRenaud Julien4th of 11, a place behind LE KING (9), in a Class E over track and trip 3 weeks ago. Cannot be considered a priority but is worth keeping an eye on
(11) Lovea De Cemaso
3D BonneA DesmottesSanctioned under the saddle here a month ago before faulting again in a 2000m Rambouillet Class F a fortnight later. Entrusted to Damien Bonne who will afford her every chance. First 5
(13) Lerminig Oliverie
3Guillaume MartinF LeblancTalented but tricky filly taking first public monte steps, with Guillaume Martin in the irons, after being sanctioned in a 2650m harness Class E at Les Sables-d'Olonne 3 weeks ago, and will be a serious player if he can keep her applied
(14) Lea De Froulay
3A VoisinR JolyDisappointing of late, latterly sanctioned in a 2400m Chateaubriant Class F 2.5 weeks ago, and must get her house in order
(16) Lolo Du Velo
3A BarrierJ L BigeonSimply superb winner of a Class F under these conditions late last month. Faces a marginally tougher task this time around but still looks the pick of the lot
(18) Lockdown
3J Y RicartGuillaume JouveShowed marked improvement when 2nd of 11 in a 2650m Alencon Class F on 1 September. Beaten only by a very good horse that day and must be afforded respect


After qualifying like a rocket here in June, LOLO DU VELO (16) duly scored with authority under these very conditions on her debut a month ago, and should logically take all the beating. Anthony Barrier will however be keeping a watchful eye on the complicated but serious monte debutante, LERMINIG OLIVERIE (13), who will have her chances if she gets off on the right foot, and LOCKDOWN (18) whose return to the code caught the eye. Similarly untried in the discipline, LOUMANAS (17) was unable to c
