Quickly sanctioned, when well-supported, on monte debut 2 weeks ago in a 2450m Class F here. Mottier has deserted him for the favourite and chances limited

Disappointing this year and latest 2500m harness Class H Bihorel-les-Rouen sanction does nothing to inspire confidence

Sanctioned in a 2500m Reims harness Class F 10 days ago and is unlikely to shake things up

2nd of 10 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F a month back. Yet to show any exceptional aptitude for the ridden game and, even with hind shoes off, can be passed over

10th of 16 in a Class E harness freshener here on 22 April. Imposed at Reims on penultimate start and must be afforded respect

Modest trotter with what appears to be limited scope in both codes. 7th of 10 finishers in a 2200m harness Class E here late last month and can be confidently passed over

Well-backed but sanctioned on comeback 8 days ago in a 2200m harness Class E here but can play a leading role if Francois Lagadeuc assures his initial strides

Made short work of the opposition in a 2625m Class E at Agen-Le Passage 2 weeks ago. Steps up in category but should nevertheless hold his own

Lacklustre last of 7 in a 2875m Enghien Class D 2 weeks ago. Has merit but is shod this time though, and risks needing the outing

Showed early promise but has failed to come good, most recently last of 14 in a 2850m Laval harness Class E on 25 April, and even racing barefoot has no realistic chance

Useful sort that clearly needed the run when last of 5 on comeback in a 2550m Reims Class F a month back. Will have come for the race and will be worth monitoring in his new configuration

2nd only to a good filly in a Class E over course and distance on 18 April. Races barefoot this time and must be considered a decent first-5 chance

Sanctioned early in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 18 April. Is no slouch on a good day and even though barefoot, may be biting off more than he can chew

Tricky at the best of times but held on for victory in a Class E over track and trip on 21 March and has a reasonable chance of doubling his money

Sent for a holiday after winning under the saddle late-July. 9th of 13 on re-entry in a 2450m harness Class E here and, barefoot for the first time, will take all the beating

Race Overview
Nicely-engaged at the limit of earnings, the promising KRONOS (15) has a harness freshener under his belt following the layoff, is barefoot for his first objective of the new season, and can keep his unbeaten monte record intact. The tricky KAP ORNE (14) imposed over course and distance on 21 March, has had time to recuperate, and is not out of the running for the double. Third to him on his lone appearance under the saddle, KENYAN BLUES (7) races barefoot for the occasion and will be no pushover. KIARA D'ECOTAY (5) opened her monte account with ease last time under the saddle and barefoot again, will be no shrinking violet if applied.
