Showed promise in two starts at Castillonnas in April last year, winning on debut before finishing 3rd in his next start. Was 8th over 2750m in his second comeback race this year at Toulouse on 10 February - beware

Inconsistent but is not devoid of ability, which he confirmed by winning on his appearance at Bordeaux over 2550m on 11 February. Not taken lightly

Has regained momentum with two comeback races over 2325m at Toulouse (finished 2nd on 23 January) and could have even more to offer racing barefoot for the first time

Complicated but certainly capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature judged on his best references, which have been achieved in this (shod) configuration. Was 6th over 2750m at Toulouse on 21 February

Unplaced in two of three starts this year, including with this shoe fitting when only 8th on this course over 2575m on 12 February (disqualified in the other). Best watched for now
A Laloum

Delicate, disqualified in three of his last five starts including his latest outing at Toulouse over 2750m on 21 February, but usually does well when avoiding disqualification
Ecurie Duem

7h6-h3h2h3
Ultra-consistent filly with sound references at this level, especially without her hind shoes. Finished 3rd in that shoe fitting last time over 2750m at Toulouse on 21 February and races barefoot now for the first time
G Champie

Consistent for the most part and has been in good form recently racing barefoot at Cagnes, where he was 7th over 2700m on 28 February. Best watched for now, though, in this shoeing configuration

Race Overview
KATONA (10) ought to be rewarded for her consistency sooner rather than later and, having already got the better of last-start Lyon-La Soie winner KINDNESS LIAMONE (12), is good value to score a deserved second career win, especially with her shoes removed. KERGOMAR SIBEY (11), who looked back on the right track when a reassuring 4th last time, and the ultra-consistent KOP DE NARMONT (5) are also capable of posing a threat, while the in-form duo of KYRA DE PERVENCHE (6) and recent scorer KIANNICK OF NOUIC (2) have the means to stake a claim too.
