Won like a good thing over 2850m here on 2 April before coming 3rd of 15 in a 2825m Lignieres Class F 12 days later, and has every chance of doubling her money

Pleased at Saint-Galmier before coming 7th of 14 when prepping shod for this in a 2625m Paray-le-Monial Class F last month. Is barefoot this time and can trot his way into the first 5

Disappointing form of late and was disqualified last time out at Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne on 22 April. Had some fair form before that and could play a minor role
Mlle M Gobet

Reverts to a previous configuration after coming last of 13 in a 2625m Paray-le-Monial Class F early-April. Is new to Parilly but the engagement of Serge Peltier makes him a more attractive proposition

Good consistent sort that came 2nd to a good horse in a 2850m Feurs Class F last month and despite the back-line draw, still looks a major player

Race Overview
As the highest earner in the race, IRONIE DU RABUTIN (1) is ideally entered under these conditions. She was a winner at this level in her penultimate outing and should continue her excellent run of form with another bid for success from the inside of the front row. ILTON DE BELLANDE (3) caught the eye (2nd) at Vincennes in February and did so again recently (5th), so seems capable of posing a threat. HELLO VRAC (16), HOUSTON TEXAS (8) and IVANOVITCH IS THERE (13) are others worth a mention.
Selection:
1 - 3 - 16
