Consistent trotter who seldom finishes far off the mark when avoiding disqualification and confirmed as much with two encouraging outings in the claiming category over track and trip. Absent since finishing 4th on 11 December

Sparked improvement on his return to the harness category last time, finishing 4th over 2500m at Bihorel-les-Rouen on 17 March. Confirmation required
Mme A Bazin
G

7h6h1h5-hD
Consistent for the most part and boasts sound references in the amateur ranks. Disqualified at Elbeuf over 2750m on his reappearance but is capable of better with improved fitness on his side
P L Rousseau
G
7 yrs
7h1h3h2-h4
Consistent veteran with sound references/form credentials at this level and, recently, in this shoeing configuration. Finished 4th on his reappearance over 2675m at Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne on 25 March
L Durantet

A veteran mare and model of consistency whose competitiveness at this level is beyond doubt. Finished 2nd at Agen over 2625m on 5 April
I Jublot
G

8-h0h3h1h1
Ultra-consistent veteran with sound references/form credentials, including consecutive recent victories - the latest at a higher level over 2825m at Le Croise-Laroche on 25 March. One to beat
J Vancanneyt

0h1h5h2h8h4
Showed signs of a return to form last time by finishing 4th over 2850m at Laval on 30 March. Can get into the picture
Cl Guillon
G

Dh8h6-h8h1
Showed his form and well-being by reconnecting with success at Laval over 2850m on 30 March. Will be competitive
A Pacary
G
10 yrs
0h0-h6h0h6
Out-of-sorts veteran trotter who appears to have lost his way. Finished 6th in a 2675m Le Mont-Saint-Michel claimer on 7 April and is unlikely to trouble the judge here
Christophe Gontier
G
7 yrs
9hDhD-h8h2
Delicate but is undeniably capable of winning a race of this nature, especially having tasted success with this driver and after a reassuring 2nd over 2150m at Mauquenchy on 4 April
M Lemercier
G
8 yrs
-h2h3hDh0h7
Most effective in this shoeing configuration (barefoot) and, seemingly, carefully prepared for this commitment with all four shoes removed after fine-tuning his preparation with a last-start 7th (shod) at Meral over 2700m on 7 April
Ph Hamelet
G
10 yrs
3h4-h8h0h9
Well-performed veteran trotter with 10 wins to his name from 81 appearances, though is no longer the force of old. Soundly beaten (9th) over track and trip in a similar contest last time on 2 April

Race Overview
Prolific in a lower grade, HARMONIOUS (6) won at a higher level on his return to French soil and is a confident selection to follow up in a race of this nature. HARKANE DES BORDES (5), a model of consistency this year, is the most likely of his rivals to pose a threat. HOUSTON PEJI (10) caught the eye with a reassuring 2nd in an apprentice race last time and will have a role to play if confirming that improvement, with last-start winner FRANKLIN STAR (8) not without a chance either despite his starting position (25m handicap).
Selection:
6 - 5 - 10
