11th, behind GREAT OF MADRIK (7), in a similar event here 3 weeks ago and again appears to be out of his depth

Dynamic since late-December, most recently trotting 2nd in a 3000m GNT Gr.3 at Marseille-Borely on 27 March. 2nd in 2700m Gr.3 Prix de la Mayenne on previous outing and is in with a realistic shout

Unremarkable type that came a tenacious 5th of 12 in a 2100m Vincennes Class C but will struggle to make much on an impact on this occasion
Ecurie Daniel Delaroche

h1h1h5-h9h0h6
Showed improvement when 6th, a place behind HARRY CARISAIE (8), in a 3250m GNT Gr.3 at Lyon-La Soie on 10 April, but on this occasion appears to have more limited prospects
Ecurie Charles Dreux

h2h8h3h9-h0h9
Starts for the first time since coming 9th of 10 in a 2850m Class B here last June and can be disregarded

Faulted in the stretch when en route to victory in a 2150m Enghien Class C 2 weeks ago. Is plainly at the top of her game and, on good behaviour, can set the record straight
Ecurie Marc Sassier

Pleasantly surprised when 3rd of 14 in a Class C over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but should still acquit himself honourably
Ecurie Simplice
G

h4h2-h8h2h2h5
5th of 14 in 3250m GNT Gr.3 at Lyon-La Soie on 10 April. Consistently gives everything he has and is unlikely to be far from the action

Good mare but disappointing after the spell when 7th, behind HARRY CARISAIE (8), in 3250m GNT Gr.3 at Lyon-La Soie on 10 April. Returns to her preferred hunting-ground though and can start to make amends
Mme C Douillet

Got back in the game when 3rd of 12 in a 3100m Angers Gr.3 a month back and, if still on the boil and focused, can go close
Ecurie Jean-pierre Barjon

h6h0h1hDh0-h7
Put in a good final effort to come 7th, behind GREAT OF MADRIK (7), in a similar event here 3 weeks ago and will be expected to be more competitive this time around. Place chance

h0h0h8h1h9h0
10th of 14 finishers in a 2150m Enghien Class C 2 weeks ago. Is more at home in the claiming division and can be ruled out

h2-h7h4h9h5h9
Modest 9th to GREAT OF MADRIK (7) in 13 April race of reference and is unlikely to be troubling the judge
Ecurie Du Belver
F

h8h1-h2h7mDh6
Courageous but unthreatening 6th, a place behind GREAT OF MADRIK (7), in a Class C over course and distance late-March and is not about to spring a surprise
Ecurie Du Haras D'erable

h2h0-h4h2h2h2
Runner-up, for the 3rd time in a row, in a 2725m Lisieux Class D 2 weeks ago. Is not going to be far off the mark and can even win this
Ecurie Hunter Valley

Quality element making his first appearance since coming 5th of 13 in a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class C last October. Front shoes off but others still preferred

Race Overview
An excellent servant with nothing to prove under these conditions, HARLEY GEMA (6) would have imposed at Enghien a fortnight ago had she not faulted, and Guillaume Martin will be out to put things right. It's unlikely to be all plane sailing though considering the form the younger IBISCUS MAN (2) has been showing at a superior level. FIFTY BLACK (11) caught the eye on re-entry, will have come on for the run, and is not to be underestimated. Bridesmaid in his last three, INVICTUS MADIBA (15) is close to his race and will be competitive for a spot on the podium.

6 - 2 - 11
