Finished a disappointing 10th in a 2600m handicap at Fontainebleau on 25 March having previously run 3rd in a 3000m handicap at Nancy behind the selection. Chance if bouncing back to that form

Out of sorts but has dropped to a more competitive mark in the weights/ratings and did finish 3rd in 2 previous visits to this track. Can do better than a last-start 12th in a 2700m PSF handicap at Chantilly on 16 February

Never worse than 3rd in seven associations with Kevin Braye. Runner-up to WELL DE VINDECY (6) over 3000m at Nancy on 10 March and is weighted to finish closer to that rival on these terms
D Limousy

F

Has rediscovered her form recently after dropping to a more competitive mark in the weights/ratings. Didn't go unnoticed when finishing 5th in a 2400m PSF handicap at Cagnes on 17 February

Inconsistent but capable veteran handicapper who confirmed as much by winning a 3000m handicap at Fontainebleau on 15 March. Ought to remain competitive under a 2,5kg penalty

A new addition to Julien Phelippon's stable after winning consecutive 3000m races at Nancy - latest a handicap by 8 lengths on 24 March. The booking of Florent Guy bodes well for her chances

Lightly raced hard-knocking veteran handicapper whose consistency over staying distances recently is encouraging, albeit at a lower level. Runner-up in a 3000m handicap at Fontainebleau on 15 March

Unreliable veteran mare who won a 2350m handicap on soft ground at Strasbourg in November but struggled (unplaced) under a resultant penalty. Soundly beaten (13th) in a 2400m handicap last time at Toulouse on 20 March
Mme R Philippon

Inconsistent but capable veteran handicapper who showed his form/well-being with blinkers refitted by finishing 2nd in a 2150m PSF handicap at Lyon-La Soie on 24 March

Race Overview
WELL DE VINDECY (6) changed hands after the second of her consecutive 3000m Nancy victories recently and is capable of making a winning start for new connections, especially with Florent Guy engaged to ride in her bid to complete the hat-trick. Never disappointing with Kevin Braye until now, MOMOUR (3) has just reassured Nancy. Also entrusted to a talented gentleman, DAISY SENORA (4) will have pretensions, like JEWEL DE CERISY (1), who goes the distance. The form of ARMORIGENE (5) is beyond doubt.
Selection:
6 - 3 - 4
