Finished 8th (barefoot) over 2400m at Amiens but is unlikely to improve on that presented shod for this race. Others preferred

A tricky customer but is confirmed in this shoeing configuration and confirmed as much with a last-start 3rd over 2825m at Vire on 12 June. Confirmation awaited

Consistent hard-knocker maintaining her form and consistency in this barefoot configuration. Didn't go unnoticed when 5th over 2450m at Caen on 17 June. Makes the trip with legitimate ambitions

At the top of her game, especially with this starting mode - winning twice (including his latest over 2400m at AMiens on 8 June) and finishing 2nd. Candidate for success

Honest hard-knocker who is seldom far off the mark - confirmed as much by finishing 5th at Amiens over 2400m on 13 June. Dark horse

5h8h3h7h0hD
Unreliable but is confirmed under these conditions and isn't incapable of making his presence felt either if avoiding disqualification, despite a last-start sanction over 2400m at Amiens on 13 June. Not taken lightly
A Ripoll Rigo
G

Race Overview
JEAN MAJYC (5) fluffed his lines when last seen at Amiens in early May but is good value to redeem himself on this course at his convenience. Watch out, however, for JOKER DU MATCH (6), who has been at the top of his game recently, as well as JAGUAR DE ROZEVIC (2), who excels on a right-handed track. JAGUAR D'AIMTE (3) and JONC DE BLAY (12) appeal most of the remainder.
Selection:
5 - 6 - 2
