Laval 03 June 2026

Unexceptional horse that made a modest re-entry at Vannes early last month and in this category will have nothing to contribute

Occasionally complicated but has otherwise been thriving this term. Produced her career-best reduction at Vincennes 3 weeks ago and Anthony Barrier will be justifiably confident

Moderate sort making first appearance since last November. Is barefoot for the occasion but is not a concern

Has done nothing of note since running 2nd in the Amiens leg 3 months ago. Shoes fitted this time but still not an obvious choice

Starts for the first time since being well-beaten by JOLIE STAR (10) in an Angers Gr.3 on 1 April. Trainer in the bike this time and is not about to shake things up

Never far from losing his action but won a Cordemais Class D in mid-April. Won for Eric Raffin last autumn and can figure prominently if he manages to keep his action together

Has buckets of ability but has not been particularly sharp since his spell. Was trounced in Le Croise-Laroche race of reference and already appears to have his work cut out

Not without merit and appreciates Laval but in this company will simply have too much to do

Courageous winner of a 2700m Vincennes Class C 12 days ago, on first objective of the season. Is unlikely to repeat but starts on front row and can play a part

Is 3 for 3 since moving to his new stable. Won her only Laval race, has a lot more to give, and the 4-timer looks a realistic goal

Already twice a winner this season, including over course and distance. Is better than latest result would suggest and can contest a place on the podium this time

Quality individual that has not been seen out since early-March. Shoes on this time and best to keep one's powder dry

Blows hot and cold but ran reassuring 4th to KANTO AVIS (16) in a a 2825m Gr.3 at Le Croise-Laroche a fortnight back. Is by no means a priority but is still worth keeping an eye on

Showed his form at this level last season but rather disappointing in last 2 and chances appear limited

Serious trotter in the other branch of the business. Will have other ambitions and can be ignored

Got straight down to business on comeback a fortnight ago when dominating a similar event at Le Croise-Laroche. Is a multiple Gr.2 winner and will be dangerous if close to his best

Makes first harness start of 2026 in fine condition, but is here for reasons of conditioning and can be ruled out

Took no time showing his form, following a 2.5 months' spell, coming 2nd in a 2850m Vincennes Class A 3 weeks ago. Has little Laval experience but still looks good enough to finish in the mix

Went off the boil last autumn, has done nothing of note this term, and can be confidently passed over

Appeared to have found his niche in the amateur division but out of the picture in last 3. Pleased here earlier in the year but will first need to reaffirm

Makes just 2nd start in the amateur category after some very disappointing runs this term. Sports a fresh configuration for the occasion though and will have his supporters

Placed at Pontchateau mid-February but has been a complete write-off since and has no possible chance

Excellent servant in the amateur division. Goes barefoot following his Villedieu-les-Poules conditioner, won his only start here, and is easy to like for a first-5 payout

Had been on a solid run of form until being dominated in a Nantes Class D 3 weeks ago. Races for just 2nd time in this category and should have the wherewithal to pick up some prizemoney

Good, consistent individual that has picked up this term where he left off in 2025. Has yet to deliver here but looks particularly competitive this time around

Useful trotter with an excellent engagement here. Is better than most in this field and with stride in check can make this his own

Quality mare that tends to go well for Arthur Raffin. Is plainly close to her race and looks main threat to KORIOLIS DE ZIETTE (8)

Unremarkable trotter that seldom springs any surprises and is not about to change his ways

Veteran with decent amateur references. Sports a fresh formula, for new trainer, and with Quentin Verneuil reining will be afforded every chance

Opened his 2026 account at La Roche-sur-Yon 3.5 weeks ago before being prepped in the professional ranks a fortnight later. Is confirmed in the day's configuration but others still preferred

Moderate mare that appears to have picked up in 2026 where she left off last season and appears to have nothing to offer

Back under harness after a freshener in the other code at Angers 3 weeks ago. Benefits from a terrific entry and despite the penalty has a realistic chance of finishing in the mix

Well-regarded mare taking a dip in category after coming 5th to KRACUS DE GUEZ (6) in a 2700m Vincennes Class C in mid-April. Is not a priority but will have her supporters

Took little time returning to the winners' enclosure following his break. Thrives with Mathieu Mottier, will have come on for the race, and is easy to fancy for a repeat

Imposed over course and distance earlier in the year but disappointing in last 3 and must first reassure

Eliminated in last 2 but has bags of ability. Has yet to deliver at Laval and is out of his depth

Surprise 3rd to KRACUS DE GUEZ (6) in a 3000m Nantes Class G 3 weeks ago. Takes on a superior lot this time and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Quality element that has won 3 of 6 monte starts, and comes here on a hat-trick after winning at Vincennes and Nantes. Chance

Back at the top of his game this season, winning 3 of last 4, latterly dominating a Class C under these conditions on 23 April. Excels with Alexis Collette and will be no shrinking violet

Should not be too hastily-condemned for running 7th of 8 behind KOMEDIE SOMOLLI (11) in a 2450m Caen Class F on 16 May. Won here in late-April and in this company can finish in the mix

Fine servant making Laval bow on a hat-trick. Has not put a foot wrong since last autumn, and even though in better company here, still represents a serious player

Imposed under these conditions earlier in the year but unplaced in last 2, latterly 6th in a Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 20 April. Won a Class E last time under these conditions and with Guillaume Lenain back in the bike should be taken seriously

Ran 2nd over course and distance in April before coming 3rd in a Caen Class F mid-May. Is not about to take Laval by storm but should generate interest all the same

Eliminated in a Ranes Class H 9 days ago, on just 2nd start under the saddle, and will have few friends

Eliminated in both outings so far, latterly a Laon Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Sports 4 pads for the first time and the engagement of Paul Ploquin will do her prospects no disservice

Qualified at Caen last month but was eliminated on debut at La Capelle 10 days ago, and is unlikely to shake things up

Has placed just once in 6 starts to date. Is by no means a priority but in this small field can get a look in

Ran 3rd in a Class F under these conditions before finishing unlucky 6th in a 2875m Argentan Class E a fortnight back. Has yet to be afforded the credit she deserves and takes on the boys with a good hand to play

In the frame in 2 of 3 to date, most recently 2nd a Graignes Class F on 6 May. Ran close that day and, with stride in check, can finish close once more

Got off the mark at Chatelaillon-La Rochelle in late-April before running lacklustre 5th of 9 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Should not be too hastily-condemned though and Romain Congard will be eager to prove why

Has made the frame just 3 times in 10 career starts and would be preferred racing right-handed

Defied last autumn's unexceptional qualification, winning a Vichy monte Class E on 11 May, but will have little to offer this time

Came 2nd at Lisieux before running 3rd in a 2450m Caen Class E a month back. Has yet to deliver left-handed but enjoys a good opportunity to make the frame this time

Has been knocking at the door lately, most recently courageous 3rd in a Chatelaillon-La Rochelle Class B on 10 May. Already 4 times a winner for Eric Raffin and warrants considerable respect

Commanding winner over course and distance on 23 April prior to repeating in a Vincennes Class D 12 days later, and in similar form should take all the beating

Serious sort that was sent for a layup after failing to deliver at Angers in early-April. Finds himself in good company here but is still capable of picking up a cheque

Kicked the year off well before losing his way. Has prepped twice here recently under harness but returns to the monte code with limited prospects

Seldom gets his nose in front but ran 4th in a 2875m Enghien Class C on 18 April. Was by no means disgraced that day and in this company can finish closer

Not as sharp as he once was, latterly last but one in a Hyeres Class C a week ago, and will struggle to make much of an impact

Can prove a handful but otherwise seldom disappoints, most recently 2nd in a 2825m Cordemais Class D in mid-April. Has never failed to deliver here and seldom disappoints with Mathieu Mottier. Chance

Has nothing to prove at this level but has failed to make much of an impression so far this term and must get his house in order

Showed more under the saddle earlier in his career, and this season's figures do little to inspire confidence

Has 3 races under his belt following a lengthy stint on the sidelines, but still seems to have too much to find

Quickly lost his action in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3 early last month. Opened his monte account here in March, has been reconfigured, and can play a small part if he gets off on the right foot

Returns to a track he appreciates after running 7th in a Toulouse harness Class C in mid-May, but is still not a player

Takes a notable dip in class after running 7th in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3 a month ago, on just 2nd start back. Enjoys a good entry and must be taken seriously

Has imposed just the once but is clearly a promising element. Is reunited with Eric Raffin after having prepped at Beaumont-de-Lomagne and is unlikely to be far off the mark

As easy going left-handed as right-. Is clearly in good shape and even though shod this time could still get a look-in

Has won 2 of the 3 races he has finished when similarly-shod. Alexandre Abrivard has stayed faithful and looks significantly more dangerous than he was on comeback a fortnight ago

Was unable to confirm Enghien victory when 5th in a 2700m Vincennes Class C in mid-May. 4 pads fitted this time and cannot be considered a player

Made up for April blip when 4th in a 2100m Vincennes Class D on 12 May. Has ground to make up but can still challenge for minor honours

Back under harness after faulting in a 2200m Vincennes monte Class C on 14 April. Races here for a change of scenery and is unlikely to upset the status quo

Back under harness after twice prepping in the ridden code. Takes on a good lot here though and others preferred

Placed in 4 straight last term before being put away for the winter. Has one run in her, is first-time barefoot, and will be expected to challenge for a place in the frame

Returns to racing left-handed, and debuts at Laval, after running 2nd in a Vichy Class B last month. Sports 4 pads this time but still represents no more than a minor place chance

Good colt with just the one race under his belt since the winter break. Is confirmed at Laval but is going to need another run

Undeniably useful but looked decidedly ordinary in Paris last month and can expect to find this a stiff test

Takes quite the hike in category after running 5th in a Vincennes claimer on 21 April and can be passed over
