Looked ordinary in last year's qualification and sanctioned on debut, late-April, in a 2625m Class E at Chatelaillon-La Rochelle. No threat

Well-supported when sanctioned on debut 3 weeks ago in a 2725m Lisieux Class F. In significantly better company this time and chances slim

Sanctioned in both starts to date, most recently a 2625m Cherbourg Class F last weekend. Yoann Lebourgeois reining this time which may be just the ticket to his redemption

Solid in all 3 starts so far, most recently 4th of 12 in a 2500m Reims Class E, and while not a priority, will still have his supporters

Useful colt that was quickly sanctioned in a 2350m Angers Class D on 11 April. Is confirmed here and will not be far from the action if his driver assures his initial strides

Unraced since coming 5th of 6 in a 2750m Cabourg Class D late-December. Sports 4 pads for the first time though and should give a competitive account of himself

Gave a good account on debut before going on to win a 2575m Agen-Le Passage Class F 2 weeks ago and while unlikely to repeat, should still be able to make the first 5

Well-engaged colt with a promising future. Tenacious winner of a 2400m Amiens Class F on 19 April and is in with a realistic chance of repeating

Race Overview
Clement Thomain has another interesting prospect here with the delicate LUXE D'ERABLE (6) who was highly-impressive at Vire in late-March. Fitted with hind pads for the first time, he should be good enough to win a race of this nature. He is nevertheless forced to face off with the progressive L'ARC (12) who gave us a taste of his class at Amiens last month. Yet to finish a race unscathed, LUGANO (3) nonetheless possesses a wealth of untapped potential and, with application, could yet best his stablemate. LOVE DANCER (8) should not be too hastily-judged for his recent sanction and can make amends if James Lebouteiller gets him off on the right foot.
