5th of 18, on return from a spell, in a 3475m Vire Class E late last month. Front shoes off this time and is sure to generate some interest

10th of 15 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E a fortnight ago. New formula but can nevertheless be discounted

Defied his odds to come 6th of 14 in a 2100m Class D here a week ago, but in this company is unlikely to make his presence felt

Excellent in 2 starts here last month, most recently 3rd behind FRANKLIN DE MESLAY (8) in a 2100m Class D on 15 May. Mathieu Mottier reining this time and she will be afforded ever chance
J Vilault

0h4m6h9h9h8
8th of 12 finishers in a 2650m Marseille-Vivaux Class D 2 weeks ago and, in current form, is unlikely to garner much support

Last of 13, to FINGER DES BORDES (14), in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E last weekend. Barefoot for 2nd start back and, 3rd under these conditions on Christmas Eve, must be afforded significant respect

Competitive 2nd of 16 in a 2100m Class D here on 15 May. Has placed just once in 5 starts over 2700m here but, in current form, is very easy to like

In the frame in 2 of last 3, most recently good 2nd of 16 in a 2100m Class D here a fortnight ago, and has every chance of bringing home the bacon this time

3rd in a 2700m claimer here late-April before trotting 4th of 12 finishers in a 2825m Class E on 3 June, but still has more to find
Cuadra Son Ferragut

Sanctioned when prepping for this in a 2525m Class E at Les Andelys last Sunday. Barefoot as he was here early-April, and can bring the fight to GIANT MADRIK (9)

Won at Cordemais before trotting 9th of 17, when preparing for this, in a 2625m Class B at La Rochelle on 12 May. Has not been seen here for some time but has solid 2700m credentials at the venue and will have her supporters

Sanctioned, when battling for a place, in a 2400m Class D at Beaumont-de-Lomagne 12 days ago. Never closer than 4th under these conditions but, in current form, it’s easy to make a case

Sprang a 100/1 surprise when victorious in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E last weekend. Even with Anthony Barrier reining is unlikely to repeat but can still get a look-in

Pleasantly surprising 3rd of 13, to FINGER DES BORDES (14), in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E last Sunday. Shoes off this time and must be worth retaining
Ecurie Pascal Lelievre

Enjoys a good entry here, and sports a new configuration, but will need to improve markedly on his 8th of 16 in a 2850m Laval Class D late-April

Race Overview
A fine servant that reassured over shorter here a fortnight ago, GIANT MADRIK (9) has won 5 times for Matthieu Abrivard and enjoys ideal conditions this time to make it a 6th. Leading the opposition, we can expect a barefoot FILOU DE LARRE (11) to get down to business, with David Thomain back in the wagon, and a similarly unshod ESPOIR FLYMP (7) who excels with Eric Raffin reining. FRANKLIN DE MESLAY (8) produced an excellent effort over shorter here mid-May and, in similar form, will be competitive for a spot on the podium.

9 - 11 - 7
