Mathieu Pitart Stable Tour

Form profile

Bought out of claimer in October, he won a handicap hurdle on his first start for his new trainer.

Trainer says

He has been very progressive. He won a nice handicap for us on his first start, and he will run in the Prix de Bonneveine this Friday. He has worked really well and I’m hoping for another good performance.

Form profile

Very competitive in claiming race, finished third in a claimer over fences at Fontainebleau on his last start in November.

Trainer says

This is a horse who will run in the handicaps and claiming races. He jumps really well and is especially efficient over fences.

Form profile

Consistently placed in handicap hurdle races over 2m4f and was a good runner-up to stable companion Oktente in a major hurdle race at Lyon.

Trainer says

Cookilayone is running like Falbala Le Dun in the Prix de Belvedere on Friday. She is very well placed in the weights, as her jockey has an allowance and I think she will do well. She was the runner-up in the big hurdle race at Lyon where she was beaten by her stable companion Oktente. That was a good performance.

Form profile

Ran well at Cagnes last winter and after running in handicaps, finished third in a 2m3 ½ f hurdle at Nimes last month.

Trainer says

She runs this Friday in the main handicap, the Prix Belvedere. She produced a good performance on her reappearance, and I expect her to run well. She loves very deep ground. She is in very good form at the moment and has come right for the meeting.

Form profile

Ran without any success on the flat, mainly in claiming races.

Trainer says

She runs in the Prix des Citronniers, but I don’t think she is as good as Ingenious Machine and Miss Himalaya. I think she is just a class below them. I think she will probably run in claiming races after this race.

Form profile

Winner of a hurdle race at Vichy in September, has been stepped up to handicap company and finished fifth in a 2m1 ½ f hurdle handicap at Fontainebleau.

Trainer says

She will run in the handicap for four-year-olds. She is a very consistent filly. She is very small, but really quick over the jumps, which is ideal for Cagnes. She is well placed in the handicaps and should do well.

Form profile

A winner on the flat, she finished last on her handicap debut in a 2m1 ½ f hurdle race at Fontainebleau.

Trainer says

She was one of the horses I had high hopes for when she came as a three-year-old to Cagnes. She ran really well on her debut but then she disappointed. I’m not sure she has the right profile for Cagnes. It might be a bit quick for her. I did bring her back as there are some nice handicaps for her age group, and I thought I give her another chance. She runs in the Prix Alvarado this Friday.

Form profile

Finished fourth on her chase debut at Nimes last month.

Trainer says

This is a filly who I like a lot. She is really agile over the jumps, and she made her chase debut the other day at Nimes, which was a satisfying. She will run this Friday, but I think she is a filly who will still need that run and is one to follow on her next start.

Form profile

AQPS who has run once on the flat.

Trainer says

Illogique d’Ainay is a late developer. I think he is ready to make his debut, but he is still very green. He will also run in the Prix du Vercors.

Form profile

Ran three times on the flat over 1 ½ m. Was the runner-up on his last start in Paray-Le-Monial.

Trainer says

Indigo de Kerser is ready for his debut, but if I’m honest, I’m not sure how good he is. He is running in the Prix du Vercors but as I said, I’m doubtful of his ability.

Form profile

Handicap winner on the flat where she has run 15 times.

Trainer says

I think she is the best of my three fillies. She is very efficient over the jumps. She is very tough. She has run many times on the flat and she is quick over the jumps. I’m not sure how good she is, but I have high hopes for her. She will run in the Prix Des Citronniers. She can go in any ground.

Form profile

Still chasing a first victory, she was dropped into a claiming race over hurdles at Fontainebleau where she finished fourth. She hasn’t run since March.

Trainer says

She has a similar profile to Hope Klass in the sense that I thought a lot of her last season and then she failed to deliver. She started running towards the jumps without breathing and so it was rather disappointing. However, she changed throughout the year and seems much better, so we shall see how she does here. Handicaps and claiming races will be on her agenda.

Form profile

Has taken to chasing like a fish to water and won both her starts this season.

Trainer says

She is going to run in the prep races for the Grand Steeple Chase of Cagnes at the end of the meeting. If she runs well in the prep races, she will be our hope for the big race. She certainly enjoys her jumping over the fences. She has always been very consistent and the only time she produced a bad performance was in April when her jockey thought the finish line was a few metres after the start. He never gave her a breather and that was it. She ran fifth in the big hurdle race at Merano in the summer and now she is going to concentrate on chasing.

Form profile

Has run nine times on the flat and was a handicap winner over 2 ½ m in July.

Trainer says

She is also going to run in the Prix des Citronniers. She has the same profile as Ingenious Machine in the sense that she is quick over the jumps. Cagnes is a good place to start horses jumping.

Form profile

Winner on her last two starts in handicap hurdles and has gone up considerably in the handicap mark since.

Trainer says

Oktente won the big hurdle race at Lyon and she will be making her debut over fences this Friday in the Prix Roger Duchene, as she has gone up too high in the handicap mark to continue over hurdles. I think she will perform well in this race.

Form profile

Has run four times over hurdles and finished sixth in a handicap at Lyon on his last start.

Trainer says

This is a horse who will do well in the claiming races.

Form profile

A winner over hurdles in the provinces, he finished third on his debut over fences at Lyon in November.

Trainer says

He is extremely well placed in the handicaps. If everything goes to plan, he will run in a handicap on the 21st of December. He should definitely be very competitive.
