Enghien Horse Racing Tips

Easy winner at Laval in February, MICHIGAN (4) seemed to be on course for a repeat at Vincennes next time, but lost his action close to home. He has been reconfigured though and is reunited with Adrien Lamy who will be keen to set the record straight. He will be opposed though by a newly-padded MAZAL DES GLENAN (5) who appears to be close to his race, and MILORD DE LA FONTE (1) who makes his Enghien bow on a hat-trick. MAMBO DE LA VALLEE (9) is a tricky element at the best of times but he is better than most here and will be no soft touch if he deigns to keep his action together.

At home in the claiming category, L'ARC (8) put in quite the showing over shorter here last month and a similar performance would see him win this. Pierre-Yves Verva will still be keeping a keen eye on a reconfigured KOLOSSE (3) who should not be too hastily-condemned for his Caen elimination, and the useful KELLE EAU (14) who will be barefoot for her first real objective of the season. LANNISTER D'AVRIL (13) has been superb since the start of the year and recently beat many of the day's runners, most notably the Verva's 5 year-old. Runner-up to him here 3 weeks ago, KHEOPS SAINT CLAIR (12) is unlikely to let the side down.

MELISSA MATCH (6) just missed out on the hat-trick when close second at Vincennes a fortnight ago. She could well have imposed that day had she started her run earlier, and Theo Duvaldestin will be eager to set the record straight. MENTHE FRAICHE (1) gave a fine account across town in February before being sent for a spell, and will be barefoot again. As for MIDDLE EARTH (3), she has not been seen out since imposing at Vincennes in mid-January but Thomas Levesque's horses are never unprepared and must be taken seriously. MARVA CALENDES (5) is fresh from her layoff too and has the wherewithal to go close.

ELEONORA GRIF (9) has been hard to knock since moving to France. She has a race under her belt, will be barefoot as she was when placing here last summer, and looks set to take all the beating. ELLEN RIPLEY (4) boasts excellent references at home in Sweden and will be barefoot for her first sortie south of the border. Rejuvenated over the past 2 months, KOSY D'ERONVILLE (13) bids to confirm her Vincennes success and even from the back row looks competitively well in. Runner-up in 2 of 3 this year, KAPELLA DAIRPET (8) has already won at the venue and will be no shrinking violet.

Very lightly-raced but always very giving, L'ARCHANGE (8) made it 5 in a row when dominating the consistent LITCHI CASTELETS (6) at Chatelaillon-La Rochelle. She has pulled the 8 slot once again but still looks the better of the two. L'AMIRAL SACHA (3) imposed at La Capelle on comeback, and is well-placed in front. Barefoot for the first time in his career, LEWIS DE GINAI (7) is clearly back on the right road and merits respect.

Winner of a claimer at Les Andelys earlier in the month, NISKA BILOU (7) makes his first start for the Max Izaac stable, will sport 4 pads for the occasion, and with Yoann Lebourgeois back in the bike should take all the beating. That being said, NEBBIO DU LIAMONE (13) has had time to recover after imposing at Montauban in late-February and looks the main threat. Eliminated after having given a good account at Vire last month, NUAGEE MARANCOURT (5) will also be fitted with pads, but this time will be reined by Alexis Collette.

Back in Paris after having outclassed the opposition at Chatelaillon-La Rochelle 2.5 weeks ago, LUBIE DE CELINIERE (7) should be good enough to double her money. Etienne Delaunay will nevertheless be mindful of the better-positioned LALY DE JADE (3) whose recent Meslay-du-Maine run bodes well for her chances, and a padded LESPANA DU BOCAGE (8) who has picked up in 2026 where she left off in November. LARAFALE PASMARICK (4) trotted her way back into the winners' circle last time out and will be no easy touch.

Barefoot following a trio of fresheners this term, KATINA DE TOUSSAC (13) races barefoot for her first appearance in the amateur category and, despite the draw, has a realistic chance of imposing. IBAN DE KARA (1) starts on the front line, reassured at La Capelle 10 days ago, and in the hands of Christophe Soumillon will be afforded every chance. Better-positioned behind the car, and very much at home in the amateur division, ISBA DU DOME (5) makes her Enghien bow after imposing at Castillones in early-March and will be expected to finish close. Starting just to her inside, HILKA DE BERTRANGE (4) gave a good account on her last start at this level and even though shod, can still play a prominent role.
