Saint Brieuc 23 January 2026

Career debutante that qualified in 1.17.2 last June and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Has not been seen out since flopping at Cabourg in late-October. Has yet to show any particular flair for the game but will be interesting to watch with pads fitted

Complicated sort that gave a good indication of her form despite being eliminated in Toulouse. Champion driver at the helm this time and will have her chances if she keeps her action together

Made up for a brace of eliminations when 3rd in an Argentan Class F a fortnight ago. Has ground to make up but can still finish thereabouts

Unseen since stylishly imposing first time out. Will have been prepared for this and looks the pick of the Philippe Allaire-trained duo. Claim

Made no bones about imposing first time out, dominating a Cabourg Class E in early-December. Has had ample time to get back to his best, and can bring the fight to NORTHERN WAY (6)

Untried element that qualified respectably at Caen last May but is unlikely to set off any fireworks

Eliminated in all 6 starts so far. Has not been seen in public since August and even racing barefoot is not about to create an upset

Put away after being eliminated in both starts last summer. Is barefoot for re-entry which may just be ticket to his redemption

Oddly below-par at Chateaubriant on debut in late-November. Has a lot more going for her this time and has a reasonable chance of making her Saint-Brieuc bow a winning one

Starts for the first time since being eliminated on debut at Chateaubriant in late-November. Goes barefoot for comeback but still not an obvious choice

Capricious sort that managed to stay in stride at Argentan last Saturday. Eric Raffin in the bike this time and appears to have a decent shot at contesting the finish

Placed just once in 6 starts to date. Unseen since August, and races clockwise for the first time, but hind pads off on this occasion and should not be entirely overlooked

Unremarkable sort that was eliminated in Bordeaux last weekend when first-time barefoot, and can be confidently passed over

Switches back to the harness code after a fruitless stint in the other discipline. In this company though could well pick up a cheque, provided of course she keeps her action together

4th at Angers on 11 January, beating Maestro Delto who went on to win at Nantes 8 days later. Is shod as he was that day and should be good enough to finish close

Gave a fine account on re-entry, coming 3rd of 18 in an Argentan Class F last weekend. Will have come on for the race and can challenge for a spot on the podium once more

Ran 5th here during the autumn, then put away in late-October. Fitted with front pads for the first time and will be worth keeping an eye on

Modest filly that lost her action at Chateaubriant early this month. Has done nothing noteworthy since placing on debut last May and will struggle to make her mark

Won at Graignes in May at the first time of asking, but rather disappointing since. Showed improvement at Nantes recently and can play a minor role if Aymeric Thomas gets her off on the right foot

Unexceptional filly with better prospects in the claiming division and has nothing to contribute

Returns to racing right-handed after a much-needed, but solid, return run at Graignes late last month. Will have progressed for the race and is not to be underestimated

Placed in 2 before blowing up in a 2350m Angers Class E mid-month, and again looks to be out of her depth

Ran 3rd in a competitive Angers Class E 8 days ago. Has never disappointed racing clockwise and that first win is not far off

Useful sort with a race under his belt following his 7 months' absence. Has held his own in good company and, with shoes off this time, is unlikely to let the side down

Nothing exceptional but could have picked up a place cheque at Angers last week had she not blundered. Still cannot be considered a priority though

Has placed just once in 9 career starts, but would have picked up a cheque at Angers last week had she stayed in stride, and will generate a bit more interest this time

Unplaced in all 3 starts so far this month. Has been re-shod for the occasion but still poses no danger

Twice 2nd, including under these conditions, before flopping at Angers 12 days ago. Sports 4 pads for the first time and, while not a contender, is still worth monitoring

Pleased twice during the autumn but less performant since and is not about to cause an upset

Has hardly put a foot out of line since last September's debut. Steps up in category after finishing a place behind LADY D'AUBERVILLE (2) at Argentan and cannot be discounted

Never far from losing her action but is not devoid of talent. Reassured in Bordeaux earlier in the month, is confirmed here and if applied can bring home a cheque

Has yet to get off the mark but has come close more than once. Goes barefoot following a pair of prep runs under the saddle and, even though stepping up in category, still looks competitive for a place in the picture

Can trot but eliminated in 3 of last 4 starts. Races unshod-behind this time but others still easier to trust

Useful sort with a pair of conditioners in her since the spell. Gave a good account on sole start in the day's configuration and, with application, can play an important part

Highly-consistent mare making Saint-Brieuc bow in top shape. Has won 2 of 3 going clockwise and has yet to disappoint for her driver. Chance

Occasionally complicated but otherwise a a smart individual with an enviable win-rate. Comes here on a hat-trick and even from the second row can make this her own

Moderate sort that surprised at Argentan before failing to make any impression in a Chateaubriant Class F last Sunday, and can be ruled out

Barring Nantes elimination has been in great shape. Is proven under these conditions but will be shod this time and cannot be considered a major player

Unexceptional type that has not placed since May 2025. Was not disgraced behind L'AIR DU TEMPS (5) at Argentan 2 weeks ago, but still not an obvious choice

Eliminated more often than not but still has ample ability. Placed on sole Saint-Brieuc appearance, will have front shoes off this time, and can play a part if Julien Travers manages to keep him focused

Never the easiest horse to gauge but is hard to knock when applied. Is clearly in form and from the front line can apply the pressure on LOVE ACTUALLY (11) when push comes to shove

No champion and not the easiest to handle, but seldom disappoints when focused and can make the frame if Pierre Houel keeps him trotting

Went into his autumn spell after winning 2 of 3. Shoes back on for re-entry though and will need the race

Unplaced in last 2 but ran 2nd over track and trip in early-November and will be no pushover if kept focused

Showed improvement at Argentan a fortnight ago, on just 2nd start back. Ran 4th behind LUTIN DU PRATEL (8) here in early-December, is shod as he was that day, and will not be available at 27-1 this time

Quality element with just one run under his belt since the long layoff. Shoes on again and best to wait

Serious trotter that alternates the good with the less-good but his form is sure. Is reunited with Eric Raffin who imposed with him last month and, if kept trotting, can repeat

Capable on a good day but has not been seen out since May and will be shod for comeback

Handy under the saddle, races here for reasons of conditioning, and can be passed over

Regular for the most part and a tough nut when barefoot. Should not be condemned for Monday's elimination, but nevertheless sports fresh shoeing, and from the front line will be no soft touch

Seldom gets her nose in front but regularly gives everything she has. Has no Saint-Brieuc references but looks thoroughly capable of picking up a first-5 cheque

Absolutely trounced in an Argentan Class G in mid-December. Has better prospects under the saddle and can be ignored

3rd in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F 11 days ago. Has yet to win going clockwise but benefits from a fine entry on the front line and should be good enough to give KIARA MAURICIENNE (10) a run for her money

Mediocre mare that has done nothing of note since returning to competition in September. Encouraged under the saddle recently but in this company will have nothing to bring to the party

Eliminated in 2 of last 3 but has clearly been in fine shape. Shoes back on though and will represent no more than a minor place prospect

Has continued his fruitful run of form since being bought out of a claimer in October. Is new to the venue, and starts on the back line, but nevertheless has the wherewithal to make a big impact

Unremarkable trotter starting for first time since 21 September. Pleased on sole start here but on this occasion has no realistic chance

Good campaigner that has taken her game to a new level since starting to race barefoot. Has been knocking at the door in better company and returns to Saint-Brieuc a potential winner-in-waiting

Moderate element with a race in him following the spell. Is new to the venue though, stays shod, and will have little to offer

Has form at a similar distance but has looked decidedly ordinary for some time and can be ruled out

Put away in September after having lost his way. Will have freshness on his side and, if fully-fit, can impose for the first time since September 2024

2nd over course and distance in December, and most recently surprised at Angers. Is not about to get his head in front but will not be available at 47-1 this time

Handy in both codes but has not raced since early-October. Just front shoes off this time and best to keep one's powder dry

Impressively won at Amiens before running 4th to KARAMEL JOYEUX (7) in a 2875m Argentan Class F 2 weeks ago. Is reunited with Robin Lamy who reined him at Amiens and must be considered a player

Scored for the first time since August 2024 when securing a 2875m Argentan Class F on 8 January. Is unlikely to repeat but can still figure prominently

Raced better in Bordeaux a fortnight ago than the result would suggest. Tends to like this trips in excess of 3000m and, with application, will not be far from the action

Won a Bordeaux Class E at 43-1 on Boxing Day, then ran 6th behind KILOU (11) in an Argentan Class E 2 weeks ago. Is not a priority, and failed to deliver here in October, but still cannot be discounted

Returns to racing right-handed after failing to produce the goods in Paris. Is patently in excellent shape though and even from the 2nd line has a realistic chance of trotting off with the silverware

Not the most reliable of horses but has been making his presence felt recently. Ran 4th in an Argentan Class E 2 weeks ago and can get a look in if Gilles Delacour keeps him focused

Capable on a good day but has not raced since late-September and with shoes fitted will have nothing to contribute

Nicely-entered sort that showed improvement at Graignes on 11 January, but made no impact here in December and can be passed over
