Has not been seen out since coming last of 12 in a 2825m Langon claimer last September. Is confirmed at a superior level though and looks an interesting outside chance

Sports front pads after trotting 4th of 15 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class G on re-entry early-March. Will have progressed and looks a player

Useful in the provinces and latterly finished 5th of 13 in a 2800m Cholet amateur Class G but will need to find another gear in order to play any role here

Sanctioned in a 2700m Class G at La Capelle last weekend but has solid references when focused and, from the front line, can figure prominently

Opened his amateur account 2 weeks ago, at 37/1, in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class G. Shoes on this time but is not one to be underestimated

Sanctioned in a Mauquenchy amateur Class G over 2850m late last month after having placed at Nantes. In better company on this occasion though and will struggle to make any impact

Unremarkable trotter that finished last of 12 in a 2900m Challans amateur Class G on comeback a fortnight ago and, hind shoes on or not, will need the run

Returns to her preferred amateur category after coming 8th of 14 in a 2800m Class H at La Guerche-de-Bretagne last weekend. On the front line here and will generate some interest

Has decent references in this category but stays shod after trotting 12th of 16 in a 2700m Machecoul Class G last weekend and can be ruled out

Remarkably consistent mare that was pipped into 2nd in a 2150m Mauquenchy amateur Class G on 18 March but Quentin Champenois is unlikely to settle for 2nd again. Claim

Disappointing on the whole last season and finishing 13th of 16 to HABANO DE GENNES (5) in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine amateur Class G on comeback, does little to inspire confidence

8th of 16, on comeback, in a 2200m Caen amateur Class G 9 days ago. Benefits from a good entry and can make a big splash if fully fit

Disappointing 6th behind FIGLIO MERITE (6) in a 3000m Nantes amateur event on 20 February. Has had time to get her house in order though and will be worth watching

Unseen since faulting in a 2925m Cagnes Class E mid-January. Has decent amateur references though and even with shoes on can make his presence felt

Race Overview
Quite simply an excellent campaigner in the amateur category, HENRIETT D'AURCY (12) just missed out on her hat-trick at Mauquenchy but, a winner here before being sent for a spell, she will take all the beating. With a race under his belt and form at a superior level, FRANKLIN STAR (14) looks to be in with a realistic shout, as does GRAXO (2) who sports front pads after producing a fine effort on re-entry, and the 25m head-start will only work in his favour. FITO PRIOR (4) may not be the most dependable of horses but, when applied, he is never far from springing a surprise.
