GEMMA DODVILLE (5) showed nice promise on her racecourse debut at Dieppe in mid-June when she was sixth. She will have learned from that experience and is given the vote ahead of HATICE D'OROUX (2), who showed progress to finish second on only her second try over hurdles at Niort on June 20. MANIKA MADRIK (4) has a nice pedigree and is from a stable that knows how to ready a newcomer to strike on debut. She is worth watching in the betting for clues. MARGAUX ROUGE (3) has been placed on both runs over hurdles and looks best of the remainder.

KAYO COCO (1) can put a below-par effort behind him and bounce back to winning form. He is taken to get the better of SHANYADAME (6), who ran well when runner-up in a Class 1 chase at Moulins in early June and should make the selection work hard for success. DAZODREAM (2) will be full of confidence after scoring on his chasing debut in June and is open to further improvement. KAKO (3) won at Clairefontaine late last month in a Class 4 chase and heads the remainder.

MOUSTIQUE (1) has been supplemented for this race and has solid claims after a good runner-up effort in a maiden at this track in May. His latest outing at La Teste was a respectable performance, and he is taken to get the better of SILVAROLE FAL (9), who looks well treated at the foot of the weights and should be competitive. FOLIE MEME (8) is worth considering each-way after scoring with something in hand in a Class 3 contest at Niort last time. FONROMY (2) appeals as the best of the remainder.

APAX (4) has been fifth in two strong races recently and was a not beaten far at La Teste in a Class 2 race in early June. He is given the nod over TEN HORNS (1), who can make the selection work hard for success after a solid effort in a Class 2 at Parislongchamp early last month. SWEET CHOP (5) could be a sensible option for the each way backers to latch on to, and X RAYS (3) makes up the shortlist.

MERKUR (4) can be excused for the latest start in a Class 1 handicap in mid-June and is best judged on his penultimate effort at Saint-Cloud when second in late May in a Class 3 race. His main threat could be PASAND (2), who won a claimer at La Teste last month by two lengths and is hard to dismiss. YOGUI (6) is another that has solid claims and can make the top-three, having won two runs back in May at Carcassonne. TROFEO (7) looks best of the rest.

ZELICA (4) could be the answer to this open handicap. She was a decent second last time in mid-June at Bordeaux Le Bouscat and can go one place better this time. MOREA (6) could be the one that makes the selection work for the win after two recent placed runs. ULTRASOUND (8) has been placed at this track before and could be worth an each-way play. PRAY FOR HOPE (5) is another worth considering having won at Marseille Borely in early May.

CHARM KING (3) has been in good form recently with consistent efforts, the latest when second at this track late last month. He can make use of his good draw and can score at the expense of EYE OF THE TIGER (5), who ran well to be fourth at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on his latest start. READY TO GO (6) could be an option for the each way enthusiasts to take seriously and PUERTO MADERO (1) completes the shortlist.

KIRBY (4) returned to his best with a solid runner-up effort in a Class 4 contest at La Teste in early June and gets the tentative vote. TEMPLE GATE (1) looks the main danger after finishing a creditable third in a Class 4 handicap at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat on June 15. EL TIGRE (9), who was fifth in the same race, has solid each-way claims. SEDITION (11), a winner at Tarbes in May, is another to consider and appeals from an attractive handicap mark.
