Pleased at Caen before finishing 7th of 12 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 29 March. Paul Ploquin reining this time but still no more than a minor place prospect

Has done nothing but improve lately, imposing with room to spare, in a 2850m Vincennes Class D 12 days ago and is not incapable of repeating
Ecurie Lucky 8 Racing

Steps up in category after winning 2 on the trot, early last month a 2450m Caen Class D. Has earned the right to race here and the front line start will do his prospects no disservice
Ecurie J P -f Lamare

Races barefoot after finishing last of 15 when being conditioned in a 2450m Caen Class D on 11 March, but nonetheless appears to be biting off more than he can chew
Ecurie Breizh D'espace
C

Has 2 races under his belt since the break, latterly 2nd in a 2850m Laval Class D late last month, and has a reasonable chance of getting his nose in front this time

More a specialist in the claiming category but sprang quite the surprise when 5th of 16, at 99/1, in the Gr.3 Marseille-Borely GNT stage over 3000m on 27 March. A repeat, however, seems improbable
Ecurie Des Aulnaies

Rejuvenated lately, most recently 3rd to GOAL STAR (2) in a 2850m Vincennes Class D 12 days ago and, ideally-engaged, is unlikely to be available at 49/1 this time around
Ecurie J-p R Vilault

Disappointing so far this term, most recently 6th of 7 finishers in a 2525m Cavaillon Class B, and from the 2nd row, will struggle to make her presence felt

Struggling to recapture last year's form, latterly 9th of 16 in a 3000m Marseille-Borely Gr.3 late-March, and needs to pull his socks up
Ecurie Bresil

4th, 2 places behind GALILEO BELLO (13), in a 2700m Vincennes Class B. Is confirmed in this class and looks good enough to make the first 5

Finished 5th, a place behind GALILEO BELLO (13), in a 2850m Vincennes Class A last week, and makes his Cordemais debut with legitimate ambition

10th of 16 in 3250m GNT Gr.3 at Lyon-La Soie a fortnight ago. Has other priorities and can be passed over

Has turned a corner over recent weeks and most recently came 4th in a 2850m Vincennes Class A last Friday. Benjamin Rochard reining this time and, even from the 2nd row, looks competitive for the win
Ecurie Marcillac

Last of 15, on return to competition, in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.2 earlier in the month. Is still being conditioned and can be ruled out

8th of 13 in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3 on 6 April. Shoes back on and no threat
Ecurie Moureaux As

Not short of ability but only 11th of 15 in a 2859m Vincennes Gr.3 a month ago and, with an extra 50m to travel, and shoes on, will have nothing to offer

Race Overview
After an encouraging performance at Laval, on just his second start back, IGREC DE CELLAND (5) finds himself on the front line here and looks very close to his race. David Thomain would still be wise to be wary of GALILEO BELLO (13) who won a highly-competitive race on his only appearance here, and IBIKI DE HOUELLE (11) who finished just behind him in Paris last Friday, both of whom are portioned on the second line. Front-row starter, GOAL STAR (2) has shown fine progress this year and thrives in the hands of Yoann Lebourgeois.
