Struggled over the winter to make good on his promise, most recently 7th of 10 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class C, but it is only a matter of time before he comes good again. Attention

Would have finished 4th in a 2875m Enghien monte Class D mid-March had she not lost her action. David Thomain in the sulky and, while not a priority, will have her supporters

5th in a 2700m Vincennes Class C 8 days ago. Seldom gets her nose in front and has never delivered right-handed, but is well-positioned behind the car and is unlikely to be far off the mark

Sanctioned when well-supported on return to competition in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E 10 days ago. Is hard to knock when focused however and, even though not barefoot, can still get in on the action

Oddly below-par when 7th of 15 in a 2450m Caen Class D on 4 March. Comes here fresh though and can set the record straight

Useful sort with a good entry here. Failed to fire when 12th of 16 in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 12 March but should not be too harshly judged and, given her form, can make a big impact

Never-threatening when faulting in a 2700m Vincennes Class C last week and is not about to shake things up

Capable filly that finished 3rd of 10 in a 2700m Lyon-La Soie Class C on 11 March. Takes on her elders this time and chances limited

Sent for a spell after trotting 5th of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes Class C late last month. Could have asked for a better draw but will still generate some interest

Clearly a filly of some class but makes her first appearance since finishing last of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class A late-October. Has had time to get her house in order and is not incapable of going close on first start back

Unseen since coming last of 12 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D mid-November and can be disregarded

Has returned to competition in top shape, most recently 2nd in a 2550m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class C on 1 April. In more exalted company this time though and the draw will not help his cause

Not disgraced when 6th of 11 finishers in a 2100m Vincennes Class C on 22 March. On the back line but has decent speed and could well get a look-in

Race Overview
A relatively open affair with a number in contention and while no one particular horse stands out, it may well be worth taking a punt on the well-positioned KEVIN PRINCE (5) who last month failed to confirm his Wolvega success but who has already won at the venue. Michel Rothengatter will still be keeping a watchful eye on JAKARTA DE CHENU (6) who should logically bounce back from her recent disappointment, and KUNG FU QUICK (1) who is significantly better than latest efforts would suggest. KLASSIC (10) may not have been seen out since the autumn but she sports a new configuration and is not to be underestimated.
Selection:
5 - 6 - 1
