6th of 8 in a 2800m Pontchateau harness Class F when prepping for this 10 days ago. Solid under the saddle and, on good behaviour, can play a small part

Tricky type that reassured somewhat when 5th, a place behind KATANGO (9), in a 2200m Vincennes Class D 9 days ago. Is not a priority but can still make his presence felt

Progressive sort that won at Graignes mid-March before dead-heating for 2nd in a 2850m Laval Class F a fortnight later. Goes barefoot again and is sure to garner support

Tricky type that finished 8th of 12 in a 2350m Angers harness Class E a week ago. Just 2nd public appearance in the discipline and others will be worth more consideration

Sanctioned, when still full of running, in a 2200m Vincennes Class D 9 days ago. Is very much at home at Enghien and even in the day's configuration, can make this his own

Race Overview
Even though sanctioned across town recently, KERSIGAN (12) nonetheless showed his form and even with front pads fitted, can set the record straight and impose. He will still face opposition from KATANGO (9) who will be expected to play a leading role following an encouraging performance at Vincennes that day. KYOTO GEMA (5) has returned to competition in excellent shape and steps up in class with legitimate ambition. After getting that maiden monkey off his back, KOALA (6) will be reined by Eric Raffin this time and will be afforded a competitive drive.
