Placed 4 times in succession before coming 6th of 11 in a 2650m Pornichet Class E 2 weeks ago and, in this company, is unlikely to ruffle any feathers
Ecurie Victo
G

0h2h5h3h4h6
On a decent run of form this summer, and sports modified shoeing, but will need to improve on recent 6th to HASARD D'ERABLE (11) in a 2850m Brehal Class E on 22 July
F Delanoe

6h6hDh3h0hD
Pleases occasionally but off the boil for some time, most recently sanctioned in a 2900m Clairefontaine Class E late last month, and can be ruled out
J B Brotelande
G

1h1h8h4hDh8
8th of 12 in a 2150m Enghien amateurs Class F a month ago. Starts in front, with a leading driver at the helm, and has a realistic chance of making the frame this time
Alexis Le Becachel
G

1hDh4h2h4h9
Last but one in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class E last week. Hard to fault when racing clockwise though and makes his Cabourg debut with a realistic chance of picking up a first-5 cheque
Ec Julienne

0h0h3h1h3h0
Excellent in 3 before oddly flopping to last of 15 in a 2800m Vichy Class F on 2 July. Most likely a blip on the radar and will be expected to bounce back and finish in the mix
S Pillon

3h4hDh9h2h4
2nd in an amateur event here before coming 4th of 9 in a 2900m Amiens Class F a fortnight ago. Yoann Lebourgeois reining this time and will be no easy touch
Mlle M Lemonnier
G

6h0hDh4h0h6
Unplaced in last 6 starts, latterly 6th of 14 in a 2600m Le Touquet Class F last Sunday, and will need to raise his game
Ecurie A B Racing

4h6hD-h0h8
8th of 14, on just 2nd start back, in an amateurs Class F over course and distance last Tuesday. Barefoot this time but backs up with limited ambition
Ecurie Mathieu Martel
G

9h8h6h0h8hD
Has 2 races under his belt since the break, latterly sanctioned in a 2875m Class E at Meslay-du-Maine on 21 July. Has good references at Cabourg and, despite the handicap, will generate some interest
Ecurie Comte P De Montesson
G

9h8h1h3h9h1
Front shoes off after winning a 2850m Brehal Class E on 22 July. Thomain clan boasts an excellent record at the venue and looks principal danger to HOCHE (12)
Ecurie Du Haras D'erable

Quality individual that made short work of a Class E over course and distance 3 weeks ago. On back row again but is still the horse to beat
Ecurie Cheffreville
G

1m1m1m6m3m3
Makes first appearance since coming 3rd of 11 in a 2850m Vincennes monte Class C on 21 June. Shoes on this time and has other priorities
Ecurie Pierre Levesque
G

3h3h8h3h3h7
3rd in an Enghien Class C before encountering misfortune in a 2150m Class at the same venue a fortnight ago, coming 7th of 13 in a Class D. On the back line though and chances limited
Ecurie J Cl Hallais
Race Overview
Excellent when focused and unshod, HOCHE (12) met little opposition here last month and will be well-backed for a repeat. Francois Lagadeuc will still want to be wary of HASARD D'ERABLE (11) who is back at his best, and a barefoot HORACIO DE CERISY (4) who is reunited with Franck Nivard who won with him at Lisieux mid-May. HABIBI (7) has shown lately that he is back on the right track and will not be far off the mark.
Selection:
12 - 11 - 4
