Summary (2) AIM TRUE steps up in class here today but has won three of his four career starts including a Class 1 race at Saint-Cloud earlier this month. He can improve again and is the selection here. His stablemate (4) CASTERTON has some decent Group form and the likely favourite is an obvious danger. (7) INSTIGATOR and (6) LONDRES are next best.

Selections

(2) AIM TRUE - (4) CASTERTON - (7) INSTIGATOR - (6) LONDRES

Race 4 1. NICE TO SEE YOU - Sixth of sixteen behind London Protocol in a Class B handicap on the sand at Chantilly last time out. That was a decent effort but he has to give weight all around today

2. TIME SHANAKILL - Second of seventeen behind Nice To See You in a Class B handicap on the sand at Chantilly last month. Better off at the weights today and must be respected

3. RUBENS - Gets a 3.5 Kg penalty today for his win in a Class D handicap at Nancy last month. Runner up in a Class E claimer here over course and distance in August

4. VEAKALTO - Raised 3.5 Kg penalty for his win in a Class D handicap over course and distance here on August 1st. Ran well in a Class B handicap at Chantilly last time out and not ruled out today

5. SKATERS WALTZ - Second of seventeen behind Nice To See You in a Class B handicap on the sand at Chantilly last month. Consistent in handicaps this year but may need to drop a few kilos

6. EXTINGUISH - Last of sixteen behind London Protocol in a Class B handicap on the sand at Chantilly last time out. Dropped 1.5 Kg today but hard to reccomend

7. STAR SUN - Third of seventeen behind Nice To See You in a Class B handicap on the sand at Chantilly last month. Won a Class D handicap here over course and distance in March and can be in the mix today

8. MOTABAARY - Last of sixteen behind Nabunga in a Class D handicap at Saint-Cloud last time out. Yet to win in France after fourteen starts and others preferred today

9. FLAG FEN - Tenth of seventeen behind Nice To See You in a Class B handicap on the sand at Chantilly last month. Dropped 1 Kg for that run but may need to drop a few more

10. CARAVAGIO - Eleventh of seventeen behind Vilaro in a Class D handicap at Compiegne last month. Has been in poor form recently and hard to recommend here today

11. MADIVA - Third of seventeen behind Jasmiralda in a Class B handicap on the sand at Chantilly last month. That was a decent effort and she is a course and distance winner here

12. LE BANDIT - A close second of twelve behind Next Temptation in a Class G handicap at Salon-Provence last month. Most of his best form is on the sand and place prospects here

13. DARK DREAM - Fifteenth of seventeen behind Vilaro in a Class D handicap at Compiegne last month. Will need to improve on that to have a chance here

today

14. HAPPY CAUSE - Last of seventeen behind Nice To See You in a Class B handicap on the sand at Chantilly last month. A course and distance winner here last December and could run in to a place

15. DANDY D'ARCIS - Seventh of fifteen behind Nardo in a Class D handicap at Craon last month. Just one win from ten career starts but is on a reasonable handicap mark

16. HAWWA - Fourth of seventeen behind Vilaro in a Class D handicap at Compiegne last month. Has some good form around here and must be respected off bottom weight

Summary A winner of a Class D handicap at Saint-Cloud in March the bottom weight (16) HAWWA has good form over this course and distance. He ran well last time out at Compiegne and can return to winning ways today. (2) TIME SHANAKILL is in excellent form at the moment and must be respected. (4) VEAKALTO and (7) STAR SUN are both well capable on this surface and cannot be discounted. (11) MADIVA is another to consider.

Selections

(16) HAWWA - (2) TIME SHANAKILL - (4) VEAKALTO - (7) STAR SUN - (11)

MADIVA - (12) LE BANDIT - (14) HAPPY CAUSE - (5) SKATERS WALTZ

10. KERAVNOS - Won a Class E race at Pau in February but has been disappointing since then

11. COUP FATALE - Fifth to Immediate in a Class D handicap at Maisons-Laffitte last time out. Just his third start this year today

Summary Although well beaten at Compiegne earlier this month (2) MAMBO WAY was runner up twice here over course and distance in Class E handicaps in August. He can go one better today. (5) OLSZTYN ran well in two Class D handicaps here in August and cannot be ruled out. (8) ASAP is having her first run on this surface today but must be respected. (4) WIKITA is next best.

Selections

(2) MAMBO WAY - (5) OLSZTYN - (8) ASAP - (4) WIKITA

Race 6 1. REALISATOR - Third to Equilady in a Class E handicap at Lyon Parilly last month. Decent form in handicaps this year

2. HEARTBEAT - Disappointing last time out but runner up here in a Class D handicap on the turf before that

3. SHANAWEST - Unplaced in five of her last six starts but is capable on her day

4. L'OPTIMISTE - One win from twelve career starts but has place claims here today

5. ALBERT HALL - Won a Class E handicap here over course and distance in May but likely to find a few too good today

6. THEO DANON - Has been in poor form recently but has run well here on this surface before

7. EARLETTA - Unplaced in Class E handicaps at Craon and Chateaubriant last month and hard to recommend

8. SAO PAOLO MENINA - Unplaced in a Class D handicap at Maisons-Laffitte this month but not without a chance here today

11. FREEDOM TALES - Unplaced in a Class G handicap here last time out in August. Others preferred

12. BOWL - Second to Aireybor in a Class G handicap at Toulouse last month. Interesting today

13. PARZIVAL - Unplaced in a Class G claimer at Saint-Cloud last month and unlikely to feature here

14. SINDACO - Won a Class D handicap at Nancy in September 2016 but has been disappointing since then

15. DELEGATION - Unplaced in a Class G handicap at Salon-Provence last month. Hard to recommend today

16. BUNRAKU - Won four handicaps in 2016 but has been disappointing so far this year

Summary Although he is probably more effective over a shorter trip (1) REALISATOR did

win a handicap over 1950m at Nancy in April. He has been in good form lately and can record his third career success here today. Recent second at Toulouse (12) BOWL has the assistance of Soumillon today and cannot be discounted. (3) SHANAWEST and (4) L'OPTIMISTE are two more for the short list. (2) HEARTBEAT is next best.

Selections

(1) REALISATOR - (12) BOWL - (3) SHANAWEST - (4) L'OPTIMISTE - (2)

HEARTBEAT

Race 7 1. AMERICAIN WOMAN - Seventh to Sermando in a handicap at Fontainebleau last month. Plenty weight to carry here

2. YANK THE BANK - Decent effort when fourth on the sand at Lyon La Soie last time out. Place prospects

11. FLASH OF DREAMS - Well beaten ninth of ten behind Jedi Princess in a Class 2 race at Compiegne last time out

12. SIDELSKIE - Sixth of eight on her handicap debut at Clairefontaine in August. Needs to improve

13. POUDREUSE - Still a maiden after thirteen career starts but on a reasonable handicap mark

14. CHARLIE STAR - Second to Fast Buck on her handicap debut at Lyon La Soie this month. Interesting here

15. MATHONVILLE - Decent effort in a handicap at Nantes last time out and must be respected off this mark

16. YOU MY ANGEL - Sliding down the handicap but needs to improve to feature here today

Summary

(3) BADIA was raised 2.5 Kg for winning a handicap at Dax in August but ran well when third to Polonia Queen at Toulouse last time out. She might still be a step ahead of the handicapper. (2) YANK THE BANK was a creditable fourth in a handicap at Lyon La Soie last time out and can go close off a fair mark. (6) CAVAN JOA and (14) CHARLIE STAR are two more to consider. (7) AVROTI is next best.

Selections

2. GEONPI - Second to Atlantik Cup in a Class E handicap at Lyon La Soie this month. On a fair mark

5. IL PITTORE - Gets a 3 Kg penalty for his win in a Class G handicap at Cagnes last month. Up in trip today

7. DJOKO - Sixth in a Class G handicap at Mont-De-Marsan last month and is back on a reasonable mark

8. PENJACK - Won a Class E race at Lyon La Soie earlier this month but a tougher test here today

9. WEEKEN - Won Class E handicaps here and at Salon-Provence earlier this year but unplaced in his last five starts

10. COMBAT DES TRENTE - Ninth to Nardo in a Class D handicap at Craon last month. Hard to recommend

(14) SWISS MAN and (2) GEONPI are both well handicapped at present and can be in the mix here today. (5) IL PITTORE and (1) MEZIDON are two more to consider.

Selections

(4) KING'S PACK - (14) SWISS MAN - (2) GEONPI - (5) IL PITTORE - (1)

MEZIDON

Race 9 1. NOVEMBER RAIN - His best form is on the sand at Marseille Vivaux but plenty weight here today

2. SINGAPORE MA - Unplaced in all three starts this year and needs to improve to feature here

3. EZPELETAKO - Won a Class E handicap over course and distance on August 1st and not without a chance today

4. ENDEAVOR - Gets a 3 Kg penalty today for her win in a Class E handicap at Maisons-Laffitte this month

5. NEW OUTLOOK - Unplaced in a Class E claimer here last time out and others preferred today

6. GOOD DEAL - Won a Class E handicap over course and distance here in March and can be in the mix today

7. DOTHRAKI - Won at Maisons-Laffitte and Chantilly earlier this year and respected here today

13. MONSIEUR CANNIBALE - A close second to Ezpeletako over course and distance in August and better off at the weights today

14. FUNDING - Has won his last two starts over course and distance here. Up 5.5 Kg in the weights as a result but not ruled out

15. MESHA ONE - Still a maiden after nine career starts and hard to recommend today

16. PINK - Won a Class G claimer over course and distance here in July. Tougher test today

Summary

(13) MONSIEUR CANNIBALE seems to reserve his best form for this track. He was a course and distance winner here in November 2016 and was a close second here in a handicap here in August. He gets the vote ahead of (12) IMPATIENTE who showed signs of a return to form at Maisons-Laffitte recently. (6) GOOD DEAL and (8) EAST INDIA can make the frame.

Selections

FONTAINEBLEAU - 17th October

Trainer of the day : Guillaume Macaire (s) (208, 304, 308, 501, 502, 607)

Jockey of the day : James Reveley (304, 501, 607)

Horse of the day : Evidence Allen (201)

Dark Horse : Aubusson (706)

Race 1 1. SOLDIER'S QUEEN - Won two claimers earlier this year but does not look in the same form now

2. TIM CASSANDRE - Won two in a row last month and could easily go well in hat trick bid

3. NURMI - Triple winner from sixteen and good runner up last time at Clairefontaine

4. TAKELOT - Still a maiden but placed in three of his last four and could make the breakthrough

5. KLASEL DE KERBARH - One win from ten runs but looks a little bit out of form now

6. USTIMOS - Is zero from ten and surely has not done enough to figure here

7. SITEAUFAIT - Placed in four of his eleven runs but still will not be expected to win this

8. DEBUSSY BELLEVUE - Has shown little or nothing in sixteen outings and readily chucked out

Summary This is hardly an inspiring start to proceedings but something has to win it and the vote goes to (2) TIM CASSANDRE in that case. The gelding is in terrific form right now after notching up two recent wins and should be able to take care of (3) NURMI and the maiden (4) TAKELOT. (1) SOLDIER'S QUEEN might get fourth.

Selections

(2) TIM CASSANDRE - (3) NURMI - (4) TAKELOT - (1) SOLDIER'S QUEEN

Race 2 1. EVIDENCE ALLEN - Beaten six lengths when runner up to a good type at Clairefontaine. Every chance

2. BAYONNE - Third on debut but well behind the likely favourite last time

3. MANSIONSA - Placed in three of her seven but was a cropper last time out

4. HANZIE DES HAZARDS - Newcomer. Dam won once and this is her first foal to race but best watched here

5. SHANNON PEARL - Fifth on debut here last month showing some promise so could be a threat

6. PRINCESS CHASCA - Nothing in three runs and very easy to rule out of contention

7. LOUFUIE - Newcomer. Dam was a maiden and and produced one multiple winner from two foals

8. ROLL UP HAS - Did not make it home on debut but showed promise and could be somewhere involved

9. DEVISE DES ALAMBIC - Unplaced in all three and looks a huge outsider for this

10. PRINCESS WADDI - No form in six outings and looks a complete no hoper again

11. GALAXIE D'ANJOU - Just the one run and does look a huge outsider in this to be fair

12. NO RISK FOR YOU - Newcomer. Dam was a maiden and this is her first foal to race so a watching brief advised

Summary There was plenty to like about the debut performance of (1) EVIDENCE ALLEN at Clairefontaine last month when she was a six length runner up to a fair sort and can go one better here now with that experience behind her. (5) SHANNON PEARL also performed with credit on first start so could improve. (8) ROLL UP HAS and (2) BAYONNE looks next best.

Selections

(1) EVIDENCE ALLEN - (5) SHANNON PEARL - (8) ROLL UP HAS - (2)

BAYONNE

Race 3 1. BALJAMAN - Very unlikely winner on the evidence so far and outruled

2. KAPELOI - Fell on debut at Auteuil when showing promise and not without a chance

3. MY SECRET - Is zero from thirteen and only making up the numbers in this

4. ECLAIR - Easy winner at Vittel last time having previously shown plenty in two other runs. The one to beat

5. AU PIED LEVE - Placed in last two from four but must improve another little bit

6. THE RECKONING - Off the mark in a claimer two starts ago but this demands much more

7. JENYCHOPE - Three times a winner from nineteen and is oh so consistent if a bit to find

8. LA ISLAMINIMA - Both runs at Compiegne this Spring winning the second of them and has every chance

9. LIT D'ANGE - Placed in two of her three runs and could do so again here

Summary Guillaume Macaire definitely holds the key to this juvenile affair with both (4) ECLAIR and (8) LA ISLAMINIMA looking likely to dominate. The former looks to have the edge just now and can get then job done over his stablemate who may need the outing. (5) AU PIED LEVE and (2) KAPELOI can do the chasing home.

Selections

(4) ECLAIR - (8) LA ISLAMINIMA - (5) AU PIED LEVE - (2) KAPELOI

Race 4 1. LE NAVARO - Dual winner from thirty nine but not the force of old so questions to be answered

2. CARMINOR - Had productive year last season and doing well this time round too

3. DREAMABAD - Great strike rate with nine from forty and must enter this equation

4. PERLY DE CLERMONT - Last of seven wins was a long time ago but a good a good sort with hopes

5. NEWS REEL - Formerly a very nice type and could be up to something like this easier grade

6. BAOURI - Four time winner from twenty nine including at Auteuil last time

7. YO - One win from eleven but has been marked absent for quiet some time

8. YOUMIE - Is zero from six and has shown no ability whatsoever so no chance

9. ULEX DE BALME - Hardly any ability in four runs and has been away for ages so dismissed

10. CALUNE - Won one from sixteen but has failed to complete both starts this term

11. VIZIR DU BERLAIS - Is zero from fifteen and basically has a woeful record now

12. ARISTOLOCHE - Triple winner from thirty seven but looks an outsider to be fair

13. GOLDDY CROWN - Triple winner from forty eight but operating at a lower level

14. ANGELYS - Is a maiden after fifteen runs and basically has no chance after absence

Summary There are some former decent types taking to the field here hoping to regain some form at this lower level. (2) CARMINOR looks just about the best of them on current form and is taken to edge out the others who can be headed up by the redoubtable (4) PERLY DE CLERMONT. (5) NEWS REEL seems to have lost his way but this is easier. (1) LE NAVARO for fourth.

Selections

(2) CARMINOR - (4) PERLY DE CLERMONT - (5) NEWS REEL - (1) LE

NAVARO

Race 5 1. KHALMARIN - Both runs at Clairefontaine and was much better last time. Leading chance

2. A MAGIC MAN - One win from ten and nice runner up at Strasbourg last time out

3. SURPRIS DE CHABOTS - Better effort last time at Jarnac when runner up but still well beaten

4. PETRUS LESCRIBAA - Very good fourth on debut at Bordeaux Le Bouscat and a must for short list

5. VIF ARDENT - Well behind Khalmarin last time so needs a big jump up of sorts

6. TRY PLEASE - Just the one win from fifteen and basically has it all to do at this point

7. LE NEUBOURG - Just two pieces of form and hardly inspiring on hurdles debut

8. EL ATILLO - Newcomer. Dam was moderate but has bred three winners from four foals including the smart Bazille

9. BALLICOD - Well beaten seventh on debut at Auteuil but must do a whole lot better

10. EUREU DU BOULAY - Placed in three of his four runs and could be of some interest

11. SUMMER SWEET - Newcomer. Dam was unraced and this is her first foal to race

12. BELHOM DE JUILLEY - Well behind Khalmarin on debut and will need to find a great deal

13. HONG LO - Unplaced on all four runs and basically looks well out of this

14. LORD STARK - Did not make it home on both starts and loads of questions to answer

Summary A chance is taken on (4) PETRUS LESCRIBAA who should be a nice value price. There is surely more to come from him following a most promising first try at Bordeaux Le Bouscat and he appears to have as good a chance as the likely favourite (1) KHALMARIN who will be short enough in the betting. (2) A MAGIC MAN and (5) VIF ARDENT have strong place hopes.

Selections

(4) PETRUS LESCRIBAA - (1) KHALMARIN - (2) A MAGIC MAN - (5) VIF

ARDENT

Race 6 1. DERBY DETE - Twice a winner from just the four starts this year and needs looking at

2. KIDCAT - Placed twice in a six race interrupted career so best left alone

3. GO TO FIRST - Is zero from fifteen and must do a whole lot better here

4. DISTINGO - Dual winner from eleven and has the credentials for this all right

5. OURVILLE'S ANDY - Is zero from ten and will stay that way after this shootout

6. GARASIL - Good hurdles third on career debut last month and has a ticket to improve

7. DUNNET HEAD - Fell on debut but much more like it last time and must enter calculations

8. DEO VOLENTE - Did not make it home on debut and easy now to dismiss from this

9. MITCH - Just the sole success back in 2015 and can be hard to predict

10. DON PAPA - One win from eighteen runs and a place is very best hope for sure

11. MCHOUMAH - Improved for debut when close third at Le Touquet last time so that was better

12. COLOMBE DU SAGE - Sixth on debut at Compiegne and should improve off that

13. CINQUANTE ET UNE - Remains a maiden after fifteen so that does not bode well

14. CHANUNPA - Has never looked like winning from ten runs and today will be no different

15. DANSE SURPRISE - Still to place in six outings and has zero chance again today

16. VANILLE JUVIGNE - No promise on just the two runs and is another to dismiss totally

Summary The one with the potential to improve beyond the others here is (6) GARASIL. The Blue Bresil gelding shaped with loads of promise at Angouleme last month on his debut and he will have gleaned plenty from that. (4) DISTINGO and (7) DUNNET HEAD are likely to vie for favouritism and with good reason. (1) DERBY DETE and (11) MCHOUMAH might figure too.

Selections

(6) GARASIL - (4) DISTINGO - (7) DUNNET HEAD - (1) DERBY DETE - (11)

MCHOUMAH

Race 7 1. RYVALO DES BROSSES - Last of five wins came back in 2015 so that is of concern

2. JEJEKARAD - Won on seasonal reappearance at Granville and fair effort since so respected

3. KITKALINO - Five time winner whose form is not obvious but still has a shout

4. KAVALDOR - Dual winner from twenty runs and good third at Craon last time

5. UNE DAM - Twice a winner from thirty three and can make some sort of bid

6. AUBUSSON - British raider who looks a bit of a shoe in here on best form

Summary There is a huge chance for punters here in the shape of the British raider (6) AUBUSSON who is ridden by Lizzy Kelly. The likelihood is that the raider will go unnoticed by most people but the reality is that if the horse adapts to these type of obstacles he should simply outclass these rivals. (4) KAVALDOR looks good for the forecast ahead of (3) KITKALINO and (2) JEJEKARAD.

Selections

Both are well bred fillies and either can win but it is (1) GHAZAWAAT that gets the preference. The two runners most likely to prove a danger the Rouget pair are (4) DECIPHER and (8) ZENDAYA and both have to be respected.

Selections

(1) GHAZAWAAT - (7) CINNAMON GIRL - (8) ZENDAYA - (4) DECIPHER

5. EHMAPOULE - A Saddler Maker filly out of Roulmapoule who could need this her debut

6. ECOUTILLE - Won on the flat on debut. Tries hurdling and must be considered

Summary There was a lot to like about the debut of (3) EPINE NOIRE when she finished runner-up. She is likely to go on e better this time.

(2) EPICAS can place.

Selections

7. BATWAN - A Kendargent colt out of of Matwan who could be ready to run well on debut

8. ANDORRE - A Penny's Picnic colt out of Renascent Rahy. Others preferred on debut

Summary The turn for 8 unraced males. Trainer Jean-Claude Rouget has 3 runners entered for this and it is (1) MAWROOTH that is likely to be the best of them but that can never be taken as a given. (7) BATWAN is a nice Kendargent colt who could be ready for this race according to his trainer. Two others to consider are (3) BLUE BLUE EYES and (4) GAVO.

Selections

(1) MAWROOTH - (7) BATWAN - (4) GAVO - (3) BLUE BLUE EYES

8. NASCARBONATE - Solid winner of latest start. Tries steeplechasing but not completely out of it

Summary (2) OBELAMI has won three of his four starts to date and showed that he is as good a steeple chaser as he is a hurdler. He will prove a tough nut to crack. (1) CIGALE DE LAGARDE is a year older and with that comes some decent experience and form. She is likely to be only real threat to the selection. (8) NASCARBONATE could prove to be third best.

Selections

(2) OBELAMI - (1) CIGALE DE LAGARDE - (8) NASCARBONATE - (3)

L'ARIZONA

Race 6 1. GRYFFICHOP - Not disgraced when third on chase debut. Should make a bold bid

3. UN AVANT GOUT - Fair form over hurdles. Tries the larger obstacles this time. Might place

4. ZILARIO - Well beaten on flat debut. Tries the larger obstracles. Watch this time

5. IRALSA - Very good recent win and is hard to beat if a clear round of jumping on chasing debut

Summary (5) IRALSA is improving with each run and a clear round of jumping should make he hard to beat on her steeplechase debut. The biggest threat will come from (1) GRYFFICHOP has not done nothing much wrong. These two look a bit better than the balance of this small field. (2) ESMERIA BELLEVUE could do enough to earn the third prize money.

(5) IRALSA - (1) GRYFFICHOP - (2) ESMERIA BELLEVUE

8. FULL SENTIMENTALE - Mostly modest form to date and needs to find a few lengths to win this race

Summary JeanClaude Rouget coudl have a good day with a couple of winners and his two fillies (2) ELDENA and (5) OLESKA could fight out the finish of this race. There is not too much between the two of them. (7) PENNY LUZ is the threat to the Rouget runners and she does have some ability. (6) EVABIENCHOPE must be respected as she has been supplemented.

Selections

(5) OLESKA - (2) ELDENA - (7) PENNY LUZ - (6) EVABIENCHOPE

Race 8 1. VAMOSALAPLAYA - Holding form well and is distance suited. Likely to run very well in this line-up

2. VICQUEMARE - Likes this course and could be the surprise package of the race

(5) OEUVRE did well in her last start and if repeating that performance she can run well in this race. (6) REDLAKE did not seem to like Boudeaux last time and is likely to run a much better race.

Selections

(1) VAMOSALAPLAYA - (5) OEUVRE - (6) REDLAKE - (7) ZANICIA

Race 9 1. BRIDJNAIA - Well tried this year. More needed to win but is quite capable of playing a minor role
