Handy sort that came 2nd of 12 in a 2700m Class E at Lyon-La Soie 9 days ago but bites off more than he can chew this time

Lost his action in a Class C over course and distance last weekend and will have little to offer here
A Bonnefoy

Has buckets of talent but never far from faulting, as he did in Prix Cornelia when sent out favourite. Gets another crack at it and Adrien Lamy will be loathe to let the same thing happen again
Ecurie D' Ycy

Surprise 4th behind GALET STED (5) in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia earlier this month. Unlikely to repeat but nonetheless has claims on a spot in first 5
Olivier Ponzio

m2m6-m2m3h8m3
Enjoying a new lease on life since switching codes, latterly 3rd of 13 in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia over 2850m here a fortnight back. Has earned the right to race at this level and can play a prominent part

Raced better than her recent 7th in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia would suggest but still cannot be considered a priority
Ecurie Karibou

mD-m4h0m2h0m5
Has pleased for the most part under the saddle this year, most recently 5th, 2 places behind GALET STED (5), in Gr.3 Prix Cornelia over 2850m here 2 weeks ago. Is barefoot again and should not be written off
Ecurie Des Charmes

Remarkable mare that flew up in Gr.1 Prix Henri Desmontils over 3000m here early-March and will again take all the beating

Sanctioned, when prepping for this in a 3100m Angers harness Gr.3 on 3 April. Front pads fitted and can finish close if Jean-Loic Claude Dersoir keeps her trotting

12th of 15 in a harness Gr.2 over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Showed potential under the saddle last autumn, sports same configuration, and looks an interesting outsider
E Levallois

Fine campaigner that finished 3rd to EDITION GEMA (8) in Gr.1 Prix Henri Desmontils over 3000m here early-March, after having trotted 3rd in Gr.1 Prix de l'Ile-de-France, and will not go down easily

Race Overview
Enjoying quite the resurgence since late-January, EDITION GEMA (8) pulled off a first Gr.1 success last time out and the 4-timer looks almost a foregone conclusion. That being said, GRANVILLAISE BLEUE (11) put on a good show behind her in the Gr.1 Prix Henri Desmontils and, as the incumbent champion, will be expected to put up a fight. HIRONDELLE DU RIB (9) has yet to reproduce her Prix de Cornulier 2nd place but has front pads fitted for the occasion and it is worth bearing in mind that she finished 2nd to Camille Levesque's charge 12 months ago. GALET STED (5) steps marginally up in class and will be out to confirm his Prix Cornelia performance.
Selection:
8 - 11 - 9
