2nd of 14 in a 2400m Amiens Class F a week ago but, in this company, will need to be at his best

Takes first public steps in the discipline after trotting 5th of 15 in a harness Class F over 2200m here 10 days ago and looks the sort that could pleasantly surprise

Impressive in 3 starts in April before coming last of 7 finishers behind KALIN DU TRESOR (8) in a 2875m Argentan Class E late last month and will need to find more this time around

Good 2nd in a Class F over course and distance late-April, first time under the saddle, latterly 6th of 13 in a similar event under harness 3 weeks ago, and with form maintained, will be no easy touch

Showed improvement when 3rd of 6 finishers in a 2325m Toulouse Class E 3 weeks ago. Pleased on lone appearance here but others still easier to back

Won 2 on the trot, including under these conditions, before being headed on re-entry in a 2875m Argentan Class E late last month, and is going to take all the beating

6th of 15 in a 2150m Vichy harness Class E on 27 May. Alexis Collette onboard for monte debut and will be worth monitoring

Races barefoot for first time after coming 3rd of 17 in a 2850m Class E at Maure-de-Bretagne on 4 June. Anthony Barrier in the saddle this time and must not be overlooked

Simply superb lately, most recently missing out by little in a 2950m Vichy Class E on 1 June. Should appreciate Caen profile and looks a possible spoiler

Has never been in better form than he is now, last week winning an incident-filled 2825m Vire Class F, and looks competitive enough to finish in the mix once more

Sanctioned in a similar event here early last month. One of the more modest elements in the field and can be ruled out

Race Overview
KALIN DU TRESOR (8) has proved something of a revelation since switching codes and, excellent on his recent return to competition, can make this his own. Leading the opposition are KABOTIN CHENEVIERE (6) who caught the eye on his monte debut here 2 months ago, and KRACK CLEA (4) who debuts in the code after coming 5th under harness here recently and is very easy to like. KSAR LUDOIS (12) has enjoyed a change in fortune since starting to race barefoot and makes his Caen debut with a good hand to play.
Selection:
8 - 6 - 4
