The card is scheduled to begin at 16:32 and conclude at 20:25, featuring competitive handicaps and conditions races with prize money ranging from €14,400 to €25,900.
Racing will open with a staying contest over 2500 metres before progressing through a sequence of 1900m, 1500m and 1400m events. The meeting will attract a blend of established campaigners and lightly raced runners, providing depth across the evening.
PRIX DE MORTAGNE-AU-PERCHE (16:32 | 2500m | €15,400)
The opening race will test stamina over 2500 metres. ALMACADO GREE is set to line up alongside CARTIMANDUA, LAVENDIN, KING COBRA and ZABIR, with the extended distance likely to place emphasis on rhythm and race positioning.
PRIX DE BEUVRON-EN-AUGE (17:07 | 1900m | €22,100)
A competitive 1900m contest will follow, featuring SATURDAY NIGHT, ROMANESQUE, INDIAN STREAK, PIQUOISEAU and BLISTRO. The race is expected to suit runners with proven versatility around this trip.
PRIX DU LIEU CALICE (17:42 | 1900m | €23,000)
One of the better-endowed races on the card will see MUST BE CRACKERS take on SISKA, BANKER NINE, I LIKED IT and MONAGHAN BOY. With solid prize money on offer, the contest should be run at a true pace.
PRIX DU SENTIER DU LITTORAL (18:20 | 1900m | €20,100)
IRON ARROW will be among the names of interest as this 1900m event brings together SOGNIAMO INSIEME, RINASCERO, SEVEN FOR ALL and OPI DAQUI. Tactical awareness is likely to be important in a tightly matched field.
PRIX DE SAINT-VALERY-EN-CAUX (18:55 | 1500m | €17,300)
The programme will then shift to 1500 metres, with MONSIEUR FANTAISIE facing opposition from KAMETA, HERODION, DRACO and RISING UP. The slightly shorter trip may favour runners with a sharper turn of foot.

SYMBOLE, MAGIC DYA, PROLETARIAT, SI CAPO and SULINA will contest this lower-valued but competitive race, where track position is expected to play a key role.
