Debuts in the monte discipline after coming 6th of 12 in a 2400m Amiens harness Class F a fortnight ago and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2700m Vincennes Class D late-January. Has had time to get his house in order and, sporting a fresh configuration, will have his chances

Fine winner of a 2725m Lisieux Class E on 20 March. Should appreciate Reims conditions and will be expected to give JOUR DE VICTOIRE (9) a run for his money
Antonin Andre

4h1h9-h8m4
Well-beaten 4th of 6 finishers in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche earlier this month but, in this field, could yet pick up a first-5 cheque
Mme Agnes Severs
G

5hDh0h9hDhD
Sanctioned in a 2600m Nancy harness Class F last Sunday but has proven references under the saddle and, competitively-shod with a leading rider in the irons, will be no pushover
Mme O Cordier

6th of 13 in a 2475m Royan-Atlantique Class E a fortnight ago. Has monte references but not enough to make a difference here

Faulted in a 2100m Lyon-Parilly Class E late last month. Is not the worst horse here but current form does little to inspire confidence

Makes first appearance since faulting in a 2800m Strasbourg Class F late-October. Is barefoot, and has previously won here, but will need the outing

3rd of 6 finishers in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F on 1 March. Enjoys a good entry and can win this if he stays in stride

Delicate soul that faulted, for the 4th time in 5 starts, in a 2525m harness claimer at Les Andelys late last month. Returns to racing unshod behind though and, with application, can get a look in
I Zendeli
F

5m7h6-h0h4
No champion but is getting back on track, latterly 4th in a 2700m harness Class F at La Capelle 10 days ago. Has previously won under the saddle, goes unshod behind, and must be taken seriously
Mlle C Leclercq
Race Overview
He may not be the easiest of horses to handle but JOUR DE VICTOIRE (9) has established credentials under the saddle, is in good shape and, sporting a new configuration, can secure his first success since June 2022. Alexis Collette can nonetheless expect to encounter resistance from last month's Lisieux winner, JUST PACHA (3) who has only hind shoes off for his Reims debut, and the promising but capricious JUMBO DE LUNESE (2) who is similarly sent out with revised shoeing. IMPACT FIX (5) returns to the code following a fruitless streak under harness and, unshod behind with Mathieu Mottier onboard, will be afforded every chance.
Selection:
9 - 3 - 2
