Disappointing so far this year, most recently sanctioned in a 2650m Alencon Class F on Sunday, and is unlikely to influence the outcome

4th to HORIZON DU TRIANON (10) in a 2875m Enghien Class E a week ago. Never far from faulting but is plainly in form and will generate some interest

Pleasantly surprised, on re-entry, when winning a 2800m Class H at La Guerche-de-Bretagne a month ago. Shod to preference this time but others still preferred

Unremarkable 6th of 12 in a 2700m harness Class F at La Capelle earlier this month. Is confirmed at the venue but nevertheless faces a stiff test

10th of 12 under harness in a 2800m Cholet Class E on 1 April, when still being conditioned. Will be fully-fit and returns to his code of preference with a good hand to play

Preparing for this when 9th of 13 in a 2800m Rambouillet harness Class E on 7 April. A veritable metronome in the monte discipline since early-December. Sports a new configuration and can trot his way onto the podium

Useful sort making his first appearance since coming 3rd in a 2925m Cagnes Class D last January. Races shod as he did then and can get straight down to business

8th of 11 when preparing for this in a 2700m Graignes harness Class F mid-month. Barefoot this time and, in this category, can play a prominent role

A revelation in the monte code, most recently winning a 2875m Enghien Class E a week ago. Configured similarly and is unlikely to go down without a fight. Claim

Race Overview
The Laval-loving IGOR DU PARC (8) may not have been seen out since January, and stays shod for re-entry, but he should still have the measure of most here. Principal threat will likely hail from HORIZON DU TRIANON (10) who has never disappointed under the saddle when fitted with 4 pads, and the versatile HOMMAGE LUDOIS (6) who can face his first goal of the year with absolute confidence. Sent out with modified shoeing, ILLUSIVE GLORY (7) is another fine campaigner and even up against the boys this time, looks competitively well-in.

8 - 10 - 6
