3. RADIEUX - Placed twice since winning at Cholet in March. Down the field at Vincennes 10 days ago

4. UNGARO JET - Successful at Marseille-Borely in June and at Cagnes-sur-Mer in August. Fifth of 17 at Feurs last week

5. VERZASCO - In the frame twice at Cagnes-sur-Mer this year prior to winning there last time out on August 27

6. XEA VENUS - Course winner and obliged at Vincennes in June before finishing second here in August. Seventh of 17 behind third-placed (11) Perfect Power last time

7. AFRICAIN - Best recent placing when third at Montier-en-Der in July. Fully unshod for first time since February 2014

8. OPITERGIUM - Two wins and three places in Scandinavia this year. Midfield at Vincennes 10 days ago over a longer trip

9. GITANO - Placed five times since winning at Cagnes-sur-Mer in March. Fifth of 16 at Marseille-Vivaux 10 days ago

10. BOYS GOING IN - Has run well fresh before and returns to action after two months off

13. AH QUEL MICHA - Vincennes winner in May. Third run back from three-month break and suited by drop back in trip

14. TONTON LOUIS - Course winner last year. Runner-up at Pornichet-La Baule in August but disqualified last three outings

Summary A riddle wrapped inside an enigma to start the card with many of the field having claims. The drop back in trip should suit both (8) OPITERGIUM and (13) AH QUEL MICHA with marginal preference for the first named. Marseille-Vivaux winner (11) PERFECT POWER arrives in great heart while the inconsistent (3) RADIEUX could play a major part on a going day. The booking of Eric Raffin for (4) UNGARO JET could be a clue.

Selections

JAGUAR BROLINE

15. DRAGEE DU LYS - Placed in three of last four mounted outings. Second of 12 here last time out

Summary

The first ridden race on the card features (14) DURZIE who has a fifty per cent record and would have been in the frame at least last time but for breaking stride. A clear round here will probably herald a return to the winner's enclosure. (12) DIVA DE VAUVERT was denied a hattrick by a good sort last time while (11) DOLCE VITA GRIFF has a legitimate claim based on her harness form.

Selections

(14) DURZIE - (11) DOLCE VITA GRIFF - (12) DIVA DE VAUVERT - (2)

DOYALE FOR D'AM

16. ATTILA DU RIB - Won at Laval in September and just gets in under the earnings ceiling after finishing down the field at Meslay-du-Maine earlier this month

Summary (9) BALTHAZAR D'EM remains in excellent form and can pick up the winning

thread after finishing second when bidding for a four-timer at Vincennes last time. The consistent (10) BE BOP MARA is an obvious worry and (16) ATTILA DU RIB just gets into the race beneath the earnings ceiling while (12) BEAU DE MORGANE has been harvesting claimers of late.

Selections

16. VERSO DE MADE - Won for second time this year when taking a decent heat at Meslay-du-Maine earlier this month

Summary It might be worth taking a risk with (3) ACADIENNE who has the ability to take a heat like this but is a regular transgressor of the rules. Meslay-du-Maine victor

(16) VERSO DE MADE is the most likely to take advantage if the selection does break stride again. Course-winner (14) TILLEUL D'ANJOU is next best.

Selections

(3) ACADIENNE - (16) VERSO DE MADE - (14) TILLEUL D'ANJOU - (9)

UNIEME - (15) VANINA DE MAEL

14. ECLIPSE DU PORET - Third of 12 on debut to (2) Exotic Destination at Alencon earlier this month

Summary Newcomer (13) ELEVATION may have what it takes to score first time up. She's a half-sister to Group 2-winner Captain Crazy and could have a decent future. (5) EUREKA DE NAPPES has proven form in the book after winning at Graignes on her first appearance while (6) ELOVIA BELLA only just lost out on her first run.

Selections

(13) ELEVATION - (5) EUREKA DE NAPPES - (6) ELOVIA BELLA - (4) ELITE GYR

Race 6 1. SIRDAR FERM - Multiple harness winner in Italy. Runner-up in Rome on ridden debut in June. First outing for new trainer and back shoes off

2. LOUISDOR - Won in Hamburg in August on ridden debut and runner-up to (6) Bingo Madrik at Strasbourg next time. Disqualified at Amiens latest

13. BOCAGE DU RIB - Won at Graignes in April and at Rambouillet in June. Runner-up for second time in a row at Moulins-la-Marche last time

Summary The second ridden race on the card could go the way of (7) BILLY DE LA CALADE who is seeking a sixth victory this year after a comfortable success at Vincennes in September. The consistent (13) BOCAGE DU RIB could be the main danger while (11) EXCEPTIONAL BOKO is of interest on his first attempt in this sphere.

Selections

(7) BILLY DE LA CALADE - (13) BOCAGE DU RIB - (11) EXCEPTIONAL

BOKO - (12) BRUTUS LEMAN

Race 7 1. DIVA DU CAMPDOS - Disqualified either side of latest victory at Rouen-Mauquenchy on September 8

Summary (3) DECADENCE made a decent return to action when sixth at Vincennes last month after a seven-month absence and should be able to reverse the placings with (7) DREAM STORY who finished fourth on that occasion. Back up in trip (13) DIVINE DI LEONE can stake a claim while (6) DAYTONA JET is not a forlorn

hope.

14. CECILITA - Runner-up three times since winning at Vincennes in May but prone to breaking stride

15. CIBLE DU BOUFFEY - Won at Biarritz in July before breaking stride in next four races. Seventh of 16 in a claimer at Vincennes earlier this month

16. CANNEBIERE - Runner-up for the second time in a row in the race won by (13) Clara Maza at the end of August

Summary An open contest to finish with where (5) CARACAS gets a tentative nod. She

gave the impression that she is likely to come on a bundle after her second prep run - since returning from a three-break - when sixth at Graignes two weeks ago. (10) CLARA DALLAUCH remains in good nick when not breaking stride and course-winner (6) CHERIE MY LOVE also has a shout.

Trainer of the day : Jean-Claude Rouget (105, 201, 402, 501, 514)

Jockey of the day : Christophe Soumillon (304, 402, 514, 612, 701)

Horse of the day : Luannan (201)

Dark Horse : Daring Storm (815)

Race 1 1. FORTY FOOT - In good form and is proven at this level. Leading contender

2. COSTA ESMERALDA - In-form Spanish visitor who should be competitive once more

3. ZANZARI - Must improve to feature, but has does have scope to do so

4. IF I SAY SO - Running well at present, including a runner-up finish last time. One to beat

5. LE CANDIDAT - Has shown ability. Can feature with improvement expected

6. DUBAI KNIGHTS - Can earn on best form, though recent efforts are uninspiring

Summary (4) IF I SAY SO filled the runners-up berth in a similar contest last time and is fancied to go one better in this line-up, if reproducing that effort. However, despite having to shoulder top-weight, in-form (1) FORTY FOOT should pose a significant threat. Both (5) LE CANDIDAT and (2) COSTA ESMERALDA have shown enough to make their presence felt.

Selections

(4) IF I SAY SO - (1) FORTY FOOT - (5) LE CANDIDAT - (2) COSTA

ESMERALDA

Race 2 1. LUANNAN - Ultra-consistent, prolific winner. Hard to oppose

2. CHILL WIND - Poor recent form at a higher level. Could show more in this grade

3. TARATCHI - Has shown signs of a return to form recently. Can feature on best form

4. SHINING RULES - Moderate recent efforts are of little appeal. More needed

5. ORCIA - Returned to form on this surface last time. Chance if reproducing that performance

6. VERMONT - Capable of better than recent efforts suggests. Outside chance

Summary (1) LUANNAN has picked up where he left off after a lengthy absence, returning to winning ways last time. Still lightly raced, he should have even more to come and is confidently fancied to go one better at the expense of (5) ORCIA, who returned to form last time, and (3) TARATCHI who is probably better than recent efforts suggest. The others have plenty to do.

Selections

(1) LUANNAN - (5) ORCIA - (3) TARATCHI - (6) VERMONT

Race 3 1. LE PIN - Returned to form last time after a disappointing effort on this surface prior to that.

2. CANYON CITY - Ultra-consistent, runner-up in 4 of 5 starts. Will be competitive again

3. SIRINSKA - Consistent stayer, always thereabout and should be involved once more

4. ASHIQANA - Talented, progressive individual who should go close to winning in this line-up

5. DIEU BENISSE - Lightly raced, has scope. Can improve further to make presence felt

6. ENKI GIRL - Poor recent form. Needs to recapture earlier form to feature

7. PRINCESSE AVA - Has shown little ability. Others preferred

8. TRANCOSO - Etienne & Gregoire Leenders-trained Rock of Gibraltar newcomer

9. DULCI D'UN REGARD - Unable to confirm recent improvement last time. Needs to show more

Summary (4) ASHIQANA has finished close up in both starts and, with improvement expected, should be very competitive again. Consistent (3) SIRINSKA should pose a threat on current form, though. (2) CANYON CITY has filled the runners-up berth on numerous occasions and, probably, deserves to get his head in front, while both (1) LE PIN and (5) DIEU BENISSE are others in a competitive line-up with an each-way chance.

Selections

(4) ASHIQANA - (3) SIRINSKA - (2) CANYON CITY - (1) LE PIN

Race 4 1. HUKAMAA - Dam won once and this is her first foal. Others might be stronger

4. RYTHMIQUE - Dam won once in Britain and this is her first foal to race

5. SILVER CLOUDS - Mother was unplaced on only start and her first foal has yet to score but still has to be of interest

6. HURRY - Dam was unraced and two of her produce have won and another has placed black type

7. OYECOMOVA - Dam was a poor maiden and her first foal has yet to win

Summary This is a fascinating event with a couple of choicely bred newcomers on view. Jean Claude Rouget might have the key with his War Front half sister to Dear Lavinia in (2) DREAM AWHILE and would look a fair bet. (6) HURRY represents Sogorb and could be the one for the forecast. (1) HUKAMAA and (5) SILVER CLOUDS can complete the placings.

Selections

(2) DREAM AWHILE - (6) HURRY - (1) HUKAMAA - (5) SILVER CLOUDS

15. OSPECTOR - By Smart Strike and is the second foal to run out of a dam that was Listed placed

Summary Some well bred newcomers here in this race from top stables and a tentative vote is given to the Fabre trained (12) LIGHT PILLAR who is by Galileo and is a half brother to a Group Two winner. The Rouget pair (1) AFANDEM and (14) PARTNER IN CRIME must be respected also. The well bred (15) OSPECTOR

cannot be ruled out.

8. CARATO - Only 1/4 on the podium in ridden races and is in doubtful form. Tough task

Judged on his penultimate start at Caen, (17) CANDIDO GES is worthy of a fine result. Beware of (9) CHANT DES TERNES on his ridden debut.

Race 4 1. COMETE DES LANDES - Has won the least prize-money and seems held by few rivals on class alone. Secondary chance

2. COMETE DE LA FOLIE - Surprising winner on August 26 at Amiens but has been disqualified thrice since. Needs to reassure

9. COSTA HAUFOR - Badly entered on the second row but is a model of consistency. Deserves to get off the mark

10. CAMOMILLE DE BLAY - Quirky filly who is worth largely a race like this on class alone but often gallops. Not driven by top-driver here

16. CAMERA D'OR - Has interesting potential and has never been disqualified in eight starts. Off since May 17 and should need the race

Summary

Perfectly placed on the first line-up, irreproachable (8) CISKA LOVER appears as a solid choice without her shoes. Model of consistency, (14) CENTURI has also a first-rate chance with (13) CALINE DE FLEUR , who could find it easier here.

10. CACIMBA - 2/2 failures this year after ten months off and is again driven by her trainer. Best to watch

12. CENORINA - Comes from claimers and acts better without her shoes. Not a priority

13. CO LOVELY CATH - Bounced back to form last time at Lisieux and is close to her best form after four months off. Can be considered

14. CAPELLA DE VRIE - Scored three of her last five races including two with Antoine Wiels. The one to beat

15. CLASS HAUFOR - Worth largely a race like this but is off since last December and should need the race. One to watch

Summary

Talented (14) CAPELLA DE VRIE has already scored twice with Antoine Wiels and is the one to beat. Totally barefoot again after her Toulouse stylish win, (7) CHERRY DE NEUILLE can go far on the first row with (5) CADINE GUERNEVEZ , five from six on the podium without her shoes.

7. BEETHOV - Ridden specialist who has trotted 1'16''3 over course and distance between Bayard Atout and Beffi du Luot

8. BALIOS - More consistent since is trained by Sebastien Hardy. Placed 4/7 at this track but first time with his apprentice

18. BACCARA DE CARVEL - Still a maiden in 41 attempts and has not much

room for improvement. Not a priority

Summary Still behind in earnings after a lengthy break, (14) BALKO LAP can strike again like (15) BELLUCCINI who is going to make it tough for his rival. If does not gallop, (8) BALIOS has to be highly shortlisted while (9) BAYARD ATOUT could set the record straight. (16) BLOK SUR MER is running in his favourite discipline.

12. DIEGO D'UKA - Got boxed in third last time at Enghien and deserves to get off the mark. Right-handed track is not a problem

14. DANCE ROCK - 4/5 on the podium since his debut including two wins but was disqualified for gait problems on his sole sand attempt

Summary (8) DJANGO GALBE ran better than placings suggest last time at Laval and gets the vote in front of (7) DIABLO DE FORGAN , very reliable in this category, and (13) DUC DE REUX , probably prepared for this event after a reappearance run.
