Nicely-bred colt that qualified in 1'19'5 last autumn and, by virtue of his pedigree, will garner support

Has not been seen out since finishing last of 9 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D mid-November and will have nothing to give

Faulted, on first start back, in a Class E over course and distance on 21 March. Has potential but is never far from faulting and, even with hind pads fitted, may still be biting off too much

Left a good impression, on return to competition, when 2nd of 12 in a 2600m Nancy Class F on 24 March. In a superior field this time though and no more than a minor place chance

Got off the mark at the first time of asking, comfortably winning a 2800m Villedieu-les-Poeles Class G on 1 March. Steps up in category but the new configuration could make all the difference. Claim

Unexceptional 4th of 7 finishers in a Class E over track and trip 9 days ago and, in this company, will struggle to make her mark

Qualified nicely last season but showed a different side on debut early last month, winning a 2400m Amiens Class F in style. Takes on better this time but is still a major player in prospect

5th, on comeback, in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E a fortnight ago. Will have progressed and will be no easy touch. Place chance

Delicate but capable filly that trotted 9th of 16 in a 2350m Angers Class D last week. Fitted with 4 pads this time and although unlikely to impose, should at least show improvement

Progressive filly that got off the mark mid-March in a Class F over course and distance. Unlikely to repeat but will not be available at 31/1 this time around

Showed significant improvement to win a 2350m Angers Class F, with ease, 2 weeks ago and, with form maintained, can double his money

Race Overview
After being eased into racing with a good effort in a minor provincial event, LANDSMAN (12) flew up at Angers a fortnight ago and looks eminently capable of repeating. That being said, LARA MADRIK (5) made no bones about opening her own account first time out and, hind pads fitted for the occasion, will also have claims on the trophy. L'AMIRAL STREET (9) left a good impression on his recent re-entry and will have come on for the run. LORD DES GRANGES (8) performed better than expected first time out and will not be far off the mark if he reproduces that effort.
Selection:
12 - 5 - 9
