Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2100m Class C here on 8 February, but has been entrusted to JMB this time and will not be far off the mark if he can keep her trotting

7th of 11 finishers in a 2150m Enghien Class C mid-March, on first start since the break. Hind shoes off this time and while not a priority, is still worth watching

Showed improvement when 4th of 8 in a 2200m monte Class D here 2 weeks ago but in this company will struggle to make any impact

Won at Bordeaux last month before being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.2 last weekend. Hind shoes off this time and with Eric Raffin reining, will generate interest

Sent for a break after faulting over track and trip late-November but won a 2750m Ecommoy Class D on re-entry late last month and, barefoot again, can confirm

Imposed here 3 weeks ago before coming a surprisingly lacklustre 8th behind JEU COQUIN (8) in a 2100m Class C a fortnight back, but has ample ability and can challenge for a place in the frame this time

Last of 8 in a 2875m Enghien claimer a month ago. Races barefoot this time but still not an obvious choice

Has turned a corner recently, latterly trotting 3rd of 16, at 40/1, in a 2100m Class C here 2 weeks ago. Has to be taken seriously now and can again make the first 5

Never at her ease when sanctioned in a 2700m Class B here on 1 March. More competitively-shod this time and with her mind on the game can play a leading role

Reassuring 3rd of 10 finishers in a 2100m Vincennes Class C a fortnight ago. Benefits from a good entry, has already imposed under these conditions, and looks dangerous

Has not been seen out since coming 4th of 6 in a 2700m monte Gr.2 here early-November. Has other priorities and can be passed over

Race Overview
Although occasionally a handful, JADE D'AMOUR (5) has buckets of talent, won twice over the main track last autumn, scored smartly on re-entry, and is eminently capable of repeating. She will still encounter resistance from JOLIE COKTAIL (10) who left a very good impression here a fortnight back, and the progressive JUVENIA BELLA (9) who sports a new configuration as she bids to make up for her recent sanction. Bizarrely below-par over shorter here 2 weeks ago, JAZZ D'OURVILLE (6) returns to a more suitable distance and will be expected to set the record straight.

5 - 10 - 9
