Surprise 5th of of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 2 April although a repeat seems rather unlikely

2m9-m4m8m9
Unraced for 2 months after coming 9th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D and can expect to be race-rusty

4th to EXTREME DESBOIS (10), having faulted, in the Angers race of reference. Is plainly in form, thrives at Enghien, and will be no pushover
Ecurie Des Charmes

Dh3h1h1h5hD
In form but sanctioned in a 2325m Toulouse harness Class B on 12 April. Appreciates Enghien though and returns to the monte code with a good hand to play
B Guignard

3mD-m3m7m9
Kicked the year off well but out of the picture in last 2, most recently last of 9 in a Class C over course and distance on 8 March, and may have to return home empty-handed

6m0m5m8m8m6
Finished 6th, behind HOPIUM (13), in a 2700m Vincennes Class C 8 days ago. Gave a respectable account on that occasion and, with some luck in running, can pick up a cheque
Sebastien Guillou

Last of 9 finishers in a 2250m Class C here on 26 March. Has done nothing of note for some time and can be passed over

Disappointing 7th of 9 finishers to EXTREME DESBOIS (10) at Angers earlier in the month but never worse than 5th in 6 monte starts here and must be afforded respect
M Poussier

9th of 18 in a 2450m Caen harness Class D early-March. Has been off the boil for some time and is not about to break the mould
Ecurie Danover

DhD-hDhDm1
Won a 3125m Angers Class D with authority, earlier this month, at the first time of asking under the saddle. Shoes off again and looks thoroughly capable of doubling up
B Goetz
G

0-h0h0m6m9
Has not been seen out since finishing 9th of 10 in a 2850m Class B across town on 10 February. Just hind shoes off and will need the run
Ch Levacher

1h0m3m7m0m2
Encouraging 2nd of 9 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class D on 8 March. Has previously won here and, with Paul Ploquin in the irons, will be afforded every chance
L Terbeche

3m5m3m4m4m2
Dependable type that trotted 2nd in a 2700m Vincennes Class C 8 days ago. Has respectable Enghien credentials and could finally open his 2024 account
Philippe Carillon

0-h2h3h9h0
Unseen under the saddle since 2019 but returns to the code after coming 11th of 16 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D 8 days ago. Reverts to a previous configuration but is unlikely to shake things up
Ecurie Marechal
G

0h9m2m3m6m1
Forceful winner of a 2600m Cavaillon Class D on 9 April. Front shoes off this time, has never disappointed at Enghien, and even though not a priority, will still be worth monitoring

Race Overview
After a frustrating string of sanctions EXTREME DESBOIS (10) was switched to the monte discipline and duly imposed; he goes barefoot again and can double his money if Clement Frecelle keeps him trotting. HOPIUM (13), on the other hand, has nothing to prove under these conditions and deserves to be rewarded with victory one of these days. The Enghien-loving GIUSEPPE (3) will have his chances if he manages to stay focused, as will the recently-sanctioned HAUTBRION COLMI (4) who won, under harness, over course and distance last month.
