Debuts under the saddle after coming 9th of 11 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E a month back. Has shown sufficient under harness to be considered a decent first-5 prospect first time in the monte code

Honest trotter that came 4th of 9 in a 2450m Caen Class F on 18 March. 4th on lone start here, breaks in front, and will be no soft touch

Faulted early, when well-supported, in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class D 9 days ago and will first need to get her house in order

Lost all chance early when sanctioned in a 2450m Caen Class F 10 days ago. Sports modified shoeing and will not be far from the action if Thomas Roullier keeps him trotting

Disappointing last of 6 finishers in a 2550m Reims Class G mid-month. Has never excelled at Argentan but is not to be entirely ruled out

5th of 16 on re-entry in a 2850m Loudeac harness Class F 11 days ago. Always gives his best and although not a priority, will still have his supporters

Has not been seen out since coming 4th of 9 in a 2200m Vincennes Class E late-November. Just front pads fitted this time but is still capable of challenging for a place in the frame

Gave a reassuringly good account when 3rd in a 2450m Caen Class D on 4 March. Won his only start at the venue and could well leave the premises 2 for 2

Race Overview
Back on track following a couple of blips at the turn of the year, JOKER DE FROULAY (11) has already won at the venue and, even from the back line, can make this his own. JEFS DES CHAMPS (5) has a 25m head-start though, with front shoes off, and in current form is hard to ignore. JAVA DU TRESOR (4) has taken superbly to her new vocation and a repeat of her recent Lisieux performance would see her go close once more. IVOIRE DU CEDRE (10) may not have been seen out since November but he has buckets of ability and even though not shod to preference, can still put in a competitive performance.
