Impressive since leaving Sweden, most recently 3rd of 16 in a 2850m Vincennes Class C on 29 March. Yet to be tested going clockwise but, in present form, is hard to ignore

6th behind ODANA VRIJTHOUT (5) in a 2100m Vincennes Class C on 6 March. Shod to preference this time, with Mathieu Mottier reining, and is well-placed to give this a good go

6th of 16 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class F a fortnight ago. Tends to appreciate a mobile start and, from the 3-spot, a place in the first 5 is well within his capacity

h0h0h0-h8
Italian import that has struggled since coming to France, latterly 8th of 12 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 22 March. Ideally-drawn but still no more than a minor place prospect
Scuderia Prosperus Srls

3-h7h5h2hD
Sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class C on 6 March but is clearly in fine form and, well-positioned in front, can set the record straight

5th of 10 finishers in a 2550m Class F here 9 days ago. 4 pads fitted this time but a repeat seems rather improbable

Faulted in a 2100m Vincennes Class C on 6 March. Has otherwise been in excellent shape and can make a big splash if David Thomain keeps her trotting

Disappointing for the most part over recent months, most recently coming 12th of 14 in a 2100m Vincennes Class C 11 days ago, and can be confidently passed over
Mme Sonja Biasino

Pleasing of late, most recently 2nd over 2840m at Mons last week, but faces a much stiffer test this time around
M Bruyneel

Not without merit but sanctioned in last 3, latterly over 2140m at Romme early-March, and can expect to have few friends
Bengt Johansson

Moderate sort that could manage no better than 8th of 15 in a 2675m Lisieux Class E on 20 March. On the back line and no threat

Good class of trotter with nothing to prove at this level. Went close in Germany earlier in the month and, shod to preference, can impose
Ecurie Dragon Trotters B V

-h6h8h4mDh8
4th to TRUMPIE (9) over 2840m at Mons a week ago. Has references racing right-handed and goes unshod in front, but the draw will do him no favours
Francis Mathy

Never-dangerous when sanctioned on French debut in a 2750m Class F at La Capelle 10 days ago and has no realistic chance

Race Overview
Well-behind in earnings and an excellent servant when focused, LOUIS E LOBELL (12) is forced to start on the back row but, sporting a modified configuration and entrusted to Gabriele Gelormini, looks a serious proposition. IMAGE D'HERFRAIE (7) starts wide but is on the front line and, adept racing clockwise, will be dangerous if applied. LUCKY GUY BOKO (1) has taken well to French conditions and although untried racing right-handed, he will have a lot to offer if he turns. ODANA VRIJTHOUT (5) has been gifted a good draw and will be expected to make up for her latest sanction.
