Sanctioned in a 2150m Argentan Class E late last month. Not easy to trust but is not devoid of ability either and could pleasantly surprise
Ecurie B

Sanctioned early in a 2875m Argentan Class E mid-month but has bags of class and can win this if she gets off on the right foot
Ecurie Thierry Duvaldestin

2nd, for 2nd time in a row, in a 2500m Reims Class F earlier this month. Handed a great spot behind the car and, with form maintained, can play a leading role
Ecurie Karibou

Quality element starting for the first time since coming 3rd in a 2700m Vincennes Class D late-August, and with shoes on is unlikely to shake things up
Ecurie Comte P De Montesson

4th of 10 in a 2350m Angers Class E on 3 April, after having placed over course and distance a fortnight earlier and, from the 5-spot, will have her chances
Ecurie Foiret

Produced the goods, when first time barefoot, in a 2700m Graignes Class F a fortnight ago and confirmation is a distinct possibility

Won a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 3 weeks ago. Not once out of the frame when barefoot and although stepping up in class, can still get a look-in
M Derin

Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class D late-November. Is barefoot for re-entry but starts wide and will need to be at her absolute best
L Barassin

Disappointing this season, most recently 8th of 13 in a 2875m Argentan Class E mid-month. Races first time barefoot but the draw will do her no favours
Mlle L Mauduit

2h8h3h3h4h7
Useful for the most part but below-par 7th of 11 in a 2600m Nancy Class F late last month. On the back row and is unlikely to trouble the opposition
Fabien Coligny

1h6h0-h2hD
Gave a fine account on re-entry before faulting, when well-supported, in a 2500m Reims Class F on 8 April, and even from the 2nd line, should not be ruled out
J Cottel

1h2hD-h6h5
Respectable in both starts since the break, latterly 5th of 11 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F early-April. 4 pads fitted this time, but other considerations are preferred
P Tailpied

4h5h2h7h5h1
Unraced since losing her maiden status in a 2350m Angers Class E last October. Starts on back row and is unlikely to be given a hard race

Sanctioned on comeback in a 2150m Argentan Class E late last month. Unshod-behind this time but still not an obvious choice

Sanctioned in a 2800m Class H at Villedieu-les-Poeles on 24 March. Has done nothing of note for some time and can be ruled out

Honest filly that came 3rd, a place behind KERIA FLEURY (16), in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class F a month back. Not ideally drawn but with the leading driver reining, will be afforded every chance
E Wagner

Sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes Class F on first start since the layoff and will have nothing to offer
Mlle Oceane Hue

Has not been seen out since getting off the mark in a 2850m Laval Class E late-September. Shod for comeback and best to hold off

Race Overview
KELLE FLECHE (2) has shown considerable class since her first steps on the race track; she was sanctioned at the start last time out but can more than make amends if Clement Duvaldestin assures her initial strides. Similarly starting in front, KALINE D'ERABLE (6) rang rings around the opposition last time out and steps up in category with a good hand to play. KIVAOA DU PERCHE (5) has already placed under these conditions and is sufficiently well-positioned to repeat. KERIA FLEURY (16) has been handed a tough draw but showed marked improvement last month and, with Eric Raffin reining, will be no pushover.
