Finished an eye-catching 4th on debut over 2175m at this venue on 15 May. Would've benefitted appreciably from that experience

Caught the eye with an improved/encouraging last-start 3rd over 2175m at this venue on 15 May. Keep safe

Won a harness race last month before showing his versatility by finishing 2nd in his first start under the saddle at Amiens over 2400m on 8 June. Attractive outsider

Has no references in the mounted code and was disqualified in back-to-back harness races before a last-start 7th over 2575m at Agen on 15 June. Best watched for now

Tricky customer with undeniable means under the saddle - has confirmed as much with a win and a 3rd in his 2 starts in the mounted code over 2450m at Caen last month. Not taken lightly

Made a winning start in the mounted code over 2300m at Le Mans last month, so shouldn't be condemned for his last-start disqualification over 2850m at this venue on 4 June. Worth another chance

Race Overview
Improving last-start winner LOUSTIC (7) is making an ambitious trip to Paris with legitimate ambitions, and it could pay to follow his progress. He gets the nod ahead of LOBBY MESLOIS (9), who is best judged on his Le Mans victory, and AS TEJY (2), whose 4th on debut at this venue didn't go unnoticed. LOTI SOLO (8) has found his way under the saddle and shouldn't be underestimated.
Selection:
7 - 9 - 2
