Laval 29 August 2025

Honest filly that ran 3rd of 7 finishers in a 2500m Vibraye Class F mid-month but seems to be taking on too much this time

Has not been seen out since winning a 2850m Class F at Maure-de-Bretagne in May and is going to need the race

3rd of 11 in a 2950m Le Mans Class E late last month, on first start on a hard surface. Passed his test with flying colours and will be expected to give MILORD DES CHARMES (6) a run for his money

In the frame in last 2, latterly 2nd of 12 in a 2750m Class F at La Capelle late last month. Mathieu Mottier gets the nod and will be expected to finish thereabouts

Modest sort that ran 6th of 10 in a 2750m Cabourg claimer 2.5 weeks ago and in this field looks a rank outsider

Should not be condemned for losing his action in a 2500m Class D at La Rochelle earlier in the month. Is plainly in rude health and can expect to garner the lion's share of support

Quality element making first start since running 2nd of 11 in a 2450m Caen Class E 5 months ago and will be eased back in gently

8th of 10 finishers when prepping for this in a 2750m Cabourg Class D a month ago. Will have come on for the run and looks considerably more dangerous on this occasion

Makes Laval debut after losing her maiden status in a 2725m Pornichet Class F 2 weeks ago. Comes here with morale intact and steps up in category with a good hand to play

Steps up in category after getting off the mark in a 2950m Biarritz Class F on 19 July. Cannot be considered a priority but should nevertheless hold his own

Eliminated, on return to competition, in a 2775m Class D at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 2 August. Guillaume Martin in the bike this time and, already confirmed here, will be in the mix if focused

Failed to complete the hat-trick when 3rd of 11 in a 2200m Agon Class F 3 weeks ago. Should appreciate the new profile and looks competitively well in

Last of 10, on return to competition, in a 2700m Graignes Class E 3 weeks ago. Is plainly in competition mode this time and Mathieu Mottier will be expecting to bring home the bacon

Got off the mark at Les Sables-d'Olonne in early-July then ran 3rd of 9 in a 2650m Class E at the same venue 3.5 weeks ago. Is not about to win this but is still good enough to pick up a cheque

Could well have won a 2625m Class D at La Rochelle a month back had he kept his action together. Has had time to recalibrate and his driver will be determined to set the record straight

Showed improvement when 5th of 9 finishers in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 6 August. Raffin back in the bike and must be taken very seriously indeed

Reconfigured after running last of 8 in a 2150m Enghien Class E 2 weeks ago. Should be fully fit by now but others still preferred

Comes to Laval on a hat-trick after scoring twice on turf, most recently a 2600m Josselin Class F on 10 August. In tougher company this time though and not an obvious choice

5th of 8 finishers in a 2850m Carentan Class D mid-month. Always gives his best but has too much to do here

Has turned a corner since starting to race in current configuration, latterly 3rd of 7 finishers in a 2050m Cabourg Class E 3 weeks ago. Would be preferred racing clockwise though

5th of 9 finishers behind L'ETONNANT TONIC (3) in a 2650m Class E at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 5 August. Runs barefoot this time but others still easier to back

Unable to confirm Chateau-du-Loir victory when 6th of 8 finishers in a 2150m Enghien Class E a fortnight ago. Is significantly better than that though and is not to be overlooked

Unable to confirm maiden victory when last of 11 in a 2625m Class F at Saint-Jean-de-Monts on 13 July and is not about to shake things up

Did not enjoy the best of runs when eliminated in a 2150m Enghien Class E a fortnight ago. Ran 4th here last month and can get in on the action once more

Unraced since finishing 6th of 9 in a 2175m Vincennes monte Class D last February and is here for reasons of conditioning

Has gone from strength to strength lately, most recently dominating a 2500m Class F at La Rochelle a month ago, and with Eric Raffin back in the bike should not be underestimated

Sports a new formula after being eliminated in a 2150m Enghien Class E on 10 August. Is useful when focused and although in better company this time can nevertheless get a look in

Eliminated in last 2, latterly a 3200m Montmirail Class F on 13 July. Is not devoid of ability but must get her house in order

Showed marked improvement when 2nd of 9 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F on 17 July. Goes barefoot again and, considering the stable's form, is one to keep an eye on

Winner of 2 from 3 this year, latterly a 2700m Class F at La Capelle late last month. Is new to the venue but will find Laval right up her street and can make this her own

2nd of 16 in a 2475m Francheville Class F mid-month. Pitted against better this time but should nonetheless give an honourable account

Last but one, a place behind LUTECE PLANCHETTE (13), in a 2500m Class E at La Rochelle early this month and is not about to spice things up

7th of 8 on comeback in a 2150m Enghien Class E on 10 August. Faces a more suitable challenge this time around and will be expected to contest the finish. Chance

Last of 8, on first start for 4 months, in a 2850m Carentan Class D mid-month. Runs barefoot this time but others still preferred

Form has regressed over recent weeks, most recently 8th of 12 behind LADY VICTORY (15) in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 6 August, and will have little to contribute

Got off the mark on turf last month before coming 4th of 12 behind LADY VICTORY (15) in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 6 August. Put in a good finish that day and will have her supporters

Eliminated in a 2500m Class E at La Rochelle on 4 August. Has not raced shod since her debut but has bags of ability and on better behaviour can play a prominent role

Courageous 5th of 7 finishers in a 2500m Class E at La Rochelle on 4 August but a repeat seems most improbable

Made up for Cabourg elimination when 4th of 11 in a 2650m Class E at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 5 August. Mathieu Mottier in the bike this time and although not a priority can still get in on the action

In the frame in last 2, latterly 2nd of 12 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 6 August. Nicely entered here and does not make the journey only to return home empty-handed. First 5

Failed to confirm La Rochelle performance when 6th of 10 in a 2650m Pornichet Class E last week and can be passed over

3rd in Sable-sur-Sarthe race of reference before finishing 9th of 12 in a 2650m Pornichet harness Class E last week. Hind shoes off but others still easier to back

Surprise 4th of 9 to KORA GEMA (5) in a 2825m Class E at Sable-sur-Sarthe on 10 August. Would however be preferred competitively shod

Back at the top of his game with 2 wins in last 3 starts, latterly dominating a 2625m Class F at La Rochelle late last month. Difficult to knock when focused and already twice a winner here, must be respected

Imposed at Avranches before running 2nd of 8 in a 2900m Class E at La Chartre-sur-le-Loir 12 days ago. Has yet to disappoint for his young rider and is not about to start now. Place chance

Won 2 of last 3, latterly a 2825m Class E at Sable-sur-Sarthe on 10 August. Boasts good credentials on a hard surface and with application can challenge for the win

Encouraged at Les Sables-d'Olonne before being eliminated in a 3200m Montmirail Class H on 13 July. Front shoes off this time and can make first 5 is he deigns to keep his action together

Eliminated in a 2900m Dozule harness Class F on 20 August. In the hands of Estelle Croisic this time and will be dangerous if she keeps him focused

Unexceptional 6th of 9 to KORA GEMA (5) in a 2825m Class E at Sable-sur-Sarthe on 10 August and is unlikely to shake things up

Put in a good effort to come 3rd of 12 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F 11 days ago. May not be everyone's cup of tea but still looks to have the capacity to win a race of this nature

Put 5 eliminations behind him to come 4th of 12 in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d'Olonne a week ago. Placed on only Laval start and should be retained

Eliminated in a 2850m Brehal Class F on 18 August. Has otherwise been in cracking form and will be expected to put things right

Eliminated early in a 2725m Pornichet Class F last Monday and has quite simply no realistic chance

Got back in the game at Agon-Coutainville 12 days ago when 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2200m Class F. Matthieu Abrivard in the bike this time but others still preferred

7th of 12 when preparing for this in a 2700m Class F at La Capelle on 25 July. Went close on sole outing with the day's driver and looks competitive for the win

Sanctioned in last 3, latterly a 2875m Enghien Class E on 13 August. Has ample ability though and could pleasantly surprise if he deigns to keep his action together

Eliminated in last 2, most recently a 2475m Francheville Class F mid-month and, even going barefoot with Mathieu Mottier reining, has no possible chance

Well-beaten in last 3, latterly 9th of 10 in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d'Olonne a week ago, and can be confidently passed over

Imposed at Chateau-du-Loir before finishing 7th of 9 behind KIF DE LA BRETTE (12) in a 2475m Francheville Class F mid-month. Alexis Collette reining this time but represents no more than a minor place chance

Ran 2nd at Amiens before being eliminated in a 2650m Class F at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 13 August. Twice a winner in 3 starts with Eric Raffin and must be regarded a player

10th of 13 when prepping for this in a 2875m Class E at Meslay-du-Maine a month ago. Hind shoes off, with Benoit Robin in the bike this time, and with application can finish close

In the frame in last 4, latterly 3rd of 9 in a 2475m Francheville Class F mid-month. Is as versatile as they come and should figure prominently at the business end of the race

Honest sort that ran 5th of 16 in a 2700m Graignes Class F 3 weeks ago but seems to be aimed too high this time around

Should not be too hastily-judged for running 9th of 12 finishers in a 2875m Enghien Class E on 14 August. Is just 55 Euros from elimination and Anthony Barrier will be eager to capitalise

Eliminated in a 2750m Class F at La Ferte-Vidame early this month. Has been a write-off since late last season and can be confidently disregarded

Made up for 7 August blip when 4th of 11 to JERICHO D'EM (10) in a 2725m Pornichet Class F a week later. Has been reunited with Tristan Ouvrie and is not incapable of trotting his way onto the podium

Made it 2 wins from 3 at La Capelle before being eliminated in a 2725m Pornichet Class F a fortnight ago. Form is not in doubt and can win this if he keeps his mind on the game

2nd at Le Mont-Saint-Michel before being unlucky to be disqualified in a 2750m Cabourg Class D on 25 July. Is as good racing left-handed as right- and can get in on the action if kept out of harm's way

Made short work of a 2000m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 12 days ago. David Thomain in the bike again and in current form is easy to like for a place in the frame

Made amends for La Rochelle elimination when 2nd of 11 to JERICHO D'EM (10) in a 2725m Pornichet Class F a fortnight ago. Unlikely to repeat but will not be available at 58/1 either. First 5 though

Has yet to shine since returning from a lengthy absence, latterly last but one behind JOYCE D'AVEZE (11) in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F 11 days ago, and others preferred

Unplaced in last 2, most recently 9th of 14 behind JOYCE D'AVEZE (11) in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F 11 days ago, and can expect to have few friends

3rd of 6 finishers in a 2775m monte Class F at Les Sables-d'Olonne last week. Sports 4 pads for first time but still not a concern

Facile winner of a 2725m Pornichet Class F on 14 August. Has taken his game up a notch since starting to race barefoot and Eric Raffin can be justifiably confident of another big performance. Chance

Courageous 5th of 14, at 108/1, in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F 11 days ago, although confirmation seems unlikely

Unplaced in last 3, most recently 7th of 11 in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Is better than the result would suggest, and at just 60 Euros from elimination, must not be ruled out

Got back in the game earlier in the month when 2nd of 9 in a 2625m Class F at La Rochelle. Placed under these conditions a month earlier and with application can go far
