Delicate and is disqualified more often than not, including in consecutive recent outings - the latest at Reims over 2500m on 8 April. Others preferred

Delicate but seldom finishes far off the mark when avoiding disqualification - confirmed as much by finishing 4th in consecutive starts in December, the latest over course and distance on 16 December. Dark horse
V Dupas
F

2-h2h2h1h1
Progressive filly with sound references at Mons, which include finishing 2nd in 4 consecutive outings before back-to-back 230mm victories - the latest on 22 February. Not taken lightly
Ch Spee

1h2h2h0h8h9
Showed early promise but lost her way with four consecutive unplaced appearances, the latest (9th) at Vincennes over 2100m on 12 December
Ecurie Alexandre Buisson

D-h6hDh8h2
Finished a reassuring 2nd over 2825m at Vire on 31 March and could have a role to play here if confirming that improvement
D Belzic

DhDhD-h2h1
Delicate but has undeniable means - confirmed as much by winning over 2525m at Les Andelys on 31 March. Keep safe
Elevage De Memartin
F

2h0-h4h6h0
Battling 15-start maiden who is hard to recommend on the evidence on her last-start 10th in a claimer over 2100m at Vincennes on 5 April
Mme C Gougeon
F
4 yrs
9h3h2-h1h2
Improving lightly raced filly who finished 2nd to KALLIOPE DU CAIEU (12) last time on this course over 2900m on 6 April. Can turn the tables
Ecurie Alain Laurent
F
4 yrs
Dh6h2h2h1h0
A tricky customer with sufficient means to make her presence felt in a race of this nature if remaining wise. Absent since finishing 13th over 2700m at Vincennes on 16 November
P Vieville
F
4 yrs
1h4h3h7-h9
Races unshod behind for the first time in her career after a much-needed comeback outing (9th) at Graignes over 2700m on 14 April. Has legitimate claims
Ecurie Vincent Renault
F
4 yrs
5hDh8-h3h0
Inconsistent but isn't incapable of staking a claim either, especially in a race like this. Mustn't be condemned for her recent failure over 2675m at Lisieux on 16 March
Ecurie De Blary
F

Delicate but has undeniable means, which she has confirmed by winning consecutive recent outing in this configuration ( barefoot) - the latest over 2900m on this course on 6 April.

Race Overview
KIRANIE DES NOES (8) and KALLIOPE DU CAIEU (12) fought out the finish on this course in a recent meeting (6 April), which went the way of the latter, but the former is good value to turn the tables on these conditions. KOCAINE BOND (10), in this shoe fitting for the first time, has the means to pose a threat, which also applies to KISMIE DE MEMARTIN (6) who has been impeccable since she joined Anthony Dollion's stable. KABALVA (5) completes the shortlist.
