Qualified in 1 18 7 at Le Mans before running 5th of 8 finishers on debut in a 2150m Cordemais Class F 2 months ago. Will have come on for the run and looks to have the wherewithal to play a leading role

7th of 12 finishers behind MADE IN CARLESS (6) in a Class F over course and distance on Boxing Day but in this company is unlikely to confirm

5th of 14 in a 2300m Borely Class E on 2 December. Comes here fresh, has demonstrated decent speed, and must be taken seriously

Ran 4th on debut here before finishing 9th in 26 December race of reference and appears to have his work cut out

Debuted nicely but disappointing in next 3, latterly last of 12 finishers behind MADE IN CARLESS (6) in a Class F over course and distance on Boxing Day. Handed a good draw but others still easier to back

Qualified unexceptionally here last summer but defied his 59/1 when 5th of 12 finishers in a Class F over course and distance on Boxing Day. Placed well on front line and looks a decent first-5 prospect

Made up for Borely clinker when 4th of 5 finishers in a 2050 Lyon-La Soie Class E 11 days ago. Nicely-entered on front line and, in this company, can make a big splash

Below-par in 2 since his promising debut, most recently 10th of 12 finishers behind MADE IN CARLESS (6) in a Class F over course and distance on Boxing Day. Is clearly better than that and will have an important part to play if he stays in stride
Ecurie Du Vieux Chene

Sanctioned in 3 of 4 to date, most recently over 1600m at San Siro 2.5 weeks ago. She may be green and unattractively-placed on 2nd line but with application should not go home empty-handed
Scuderia Sant' Eusebio Snc

Qualified in 1 20 5 at Laval during the autumn. Drawn on 2nd line for career debut and not an obvious choice
Ecurie Nicolas Ensch

Untried filly that qualified in 1 20 4 at Le Mans last June. Takes on a tough bunch first time out and no fireworks anticipated
A Pacha

Qualified in 1 18 7 at Caen last May. Stable has excellent Cagnes form and if as good as believed, can strike first time out
Mme Mauricette De Sousa

2nd on debut here only to be disqualified, prior to losing his action in a Class D over course and distance earlier this month. Not a contender but is still worth keeping an eye on
Ecurie Alexandre Pillon

Failed to fire on debut, under the saddle, last month prior to being sanctioned in a 2650m Bordeaux Class F 10 days ago. Should appreciate the even Cagnes surface but others still preferred

Race Overview
Although untried and poorly-drawn on the second line, MBAPE DES CHARRONS (12) hails from a stable with excellent Cagnes form and with his trainer in the bike, can get straight down to business. In qualification, he beat the better-placed MARSTON VICTORY (7) who most recently finished a respectable 4th at Lyon-La Soie, however the favourite's lack of experience augurs well for Anthony Muidebled's charge. MILLESIME STAR (1) gave a good account on his November debut, has had time to recuperate, and will be expected to finish closer on this occasion. Ideally-placed behind the car, MORANE (3) gets a first taste of Cagnes conditions and will be no pushover if she takes to the new profile.
