Unraced since coming 6th of 8 in a 2900m Amiens Class B late-October and is going to need the outing

Talented type but sanctioned in last 2, latterly early in a 2100m Vincennes Class D on 12 April. On better behaviour though, will be a tough nut to crack

Never-threatening 9th of 13 in a 2150m Enghien Class D last week. Shoes on and best to leave alone
C Buhigne

Beat a number of these when 5th in a 2600m Saint-Galmier Class D in early-March. 4 pads fitted this time, is reunited with Benjamin Rochard who has already won with him, and should not be overlooked
Ecurie Marcillac

8h5-h5h1h8
8th of 14, on first start since the spell, in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 3 weeks ago. Unshod-all-4 this time and must be afforded respect

Goes barefoot for the first time after finishing last of 10, on re-entry, behind KILLER SUN DRALIAM (4), in a 2600m Saint-Galmier Class D early last month, and is unlikely to shake things up
Mme D Lavannier

Disappointing 8th of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D late-March. Should not be too hastily judged and can put things right
J Gosselin

Switches back to harness racing after coming 2nd of 4 finishers in a 2200m Vincennes monte Class D earlier in the month. Is not devoid of ability but others still preferred

Hardy element that came 3rd of 14, at 30/1, in a 2100m Vincennes Class D 12 days ago. Has improved since moving yards and is sure to generate interest
Philippe Rennesson

Serious colt that trotted 4th, behind KALMIO DE LOU (11), in a 2725m Lisieux Class D a month ago, on comeback. Will have come on for the run and can wrap this up
Etienne Dubois

5h9-h0h7h2
Reassuringly-close 2nd of 9 finishers in a 2725m Lisieux Class D a month back. Reliability not his strong suit but is no slouch on a good day and is unlikely to return home empty-handed
Francois Xavier Davis Vaution

Returns to the provinces after coming 10th of 13 in a 2150m Enghien Class D last week and will need to raise her game significantly
F Gence

3-h4h5h7h1
Returned to winning ways, in good order, at Lisieux a month ago in a Class E over 2100m. Front pads fitted again and although unlikely to repeat, should still give a competitive account
X Bouchet

Quality individual making her first appearance since winning a 2150m Enghien Class D, with ease, late-October and best to keep one's powder dry

Race Overview
Entrusted to Eric Raffin after having made a solid re-entry at Lisieux last month, KEEP SECRET (10) should appreciate the new conditions and can make his Cordemais debut a winning one. Even though sanctioned in his last two, KOLOSSE (2) won for David Thomain earlier in the year, races shod this time and, on good behaviour, can give the favourite something to think about. KEOPS DU BUHOT (7) put in a lacklustre effort at Vincennes last time but can start to redeem himself. KOSMOPOLITAINE (5) was not given a hard race on comeback but is otherwise one of the more dependable horses here and, barefoot for the occasion, will be expected to set the record straight.
