Well-related colt (full-brother to Be Mine De Houelle) who didn't go unnoticed when 6th on debut in a 2650m harness race at Alencon on 21 April. Open to improvement

Runner-up on debut at Ecommoy and confirmed that promise by finishing 3rd on his Vincennes introduction over 2200m last month - blotted his copybook when disqualified over track and trip on 30 April, not hastily condmened

Has placed just twice in nine appearances alternating between the two trotting disciplines. Has only a minor role to play here after finishing 8th in a 2875m harness race at Enghien on 20 April

Unbeaten in two starts as a two-year-old last season. Lost his unbeaten record when 3rd over 2825m at Cordemais on 24 April but acquitted himself well enough - intriguing prospect under the saddle , could have more to offer

Seldom finishes far off the mark when avoiding disqualification but is rarely far from a fault. Finished a reassuring 5th in a 2875m claimer at Enghien on 18 April

Race Overview
LIONHEART (6) showed enough (form, ability, etc) in the harness category to suggest that he could be as - if not more - effective under the saddle, so it could pay to side with him making a winning debut in the mounted code. LORD CATH (3), runner-up over course and distance recently, is likely to fight for victory if confirming that improvement. L'APOGEE IMPERIAL (2) was at fault that day but showed promise in two previous outings, and could join the fight if bouncing back to the form of either earlier display. LENOTRE DE HOUELLE (1) is unexposed but ought to improve with the benefit of an introductory outing, so shouldn't be underestimated.
Selection:
6 - 3 - 2
