Last-start winner of a 2850m mounted race at Lyon-Parilly on 3 May, having been disqualified in both of her previous appearances under the saddle. Need only confirm that form/improvement to play a role

Versatile veteran with sound references in the mounted code (1st; 3rd and 4th in three starts under the saddle last year). Presented barefoot on his return to category after finishing 10th in a 2675m harness race at Chatillon-sur-Chalaronne on 20 May

Mme A Rogier Soulages

Confirmed in this sphere (under the saddle) with the undeniable means to win a race of this nature but is rarely far from a fault. Shouldn't be underestimated despite her disqualification at Vichy on 18 May

8-h0h6h0h4
Inconsistent performer in harness races but has the means to find his way under the saddle, especially after an encouraging 4th (barefoot) in a 2850m harness race at Lyon-Parilly on 2 June. Presented shod in his first start in the mounted code
F Bouelle
G
6 yrs
1h2m8m3m5m3
Consistent performer in the mounted code with sound references/form credentials under the saddle, including a last-start 3rd over 2325m at Toulouse on 31 May. Should play a leading role

Race Overview
This won't take much winning and trainer Loac Lerenard has a strong hand with two strings to his bow, headed by ILUX DU CAUX (7) who it could be worth siding with on his return to the mounted category. Stable companion INVAR HIGHLAND (8) has the form and experience under the saddle to fight for victory, while enigmatic INOUIE DOMPIERRE (6) has undeniable means in this code but is seldom far from a fault. HASHTAG D'EMOTION (4) has references in this specialty and completes the shortlist.

7 - 8 - 6
