Returned to winning ways in a 2500m Reims amateurs Class G on 15 June. Has the inside line and is unlikely to go down without a fight

4th of 16 in a 2525m Class F at Les Andelys last weekend. Runner-up in both Vincennes equivalents this term and, from the 2-spot, can make this her own

Has not been seen out since coming 11th of 13 in a 2550m Gournay-en-Bray amateurs Class H on 12 May. Shoes on and will pose no danger
Mlle Lara Lefebvre

h4h0h7-h2h0h8
Has 2 runs under his belt since the break, latterly 8th of 11 finishers in a 2700m Graignes Class F a week ago. Has nothing to prove at this level though and is ideally-positioned to give this a good go

3rd in a Bourigny amateurs event before coming last but one in a 2600m Class F at Saint-Pierre-la-Cour on 16 June. Shoes back on but at this level can finish in the mix

Very disappointing so far this term, latterly last but one in a 3575m Niort amateurs Class F 11 days ago. On front line but others still preferred

Makes first appearance in the category after finishing last of 14 in a 2500m Class F at Bihorel-les-Rouen Class F mid-March. Shod for comeback though and no more than a minor place chance
S Bernier

h3h5h0-h9h0h0
Unplaced in all 3 starts this term, most recently last but one in a 2825m Rambouillet amateurs Class G on 9 June and, even with pads fitted, will be out of his depth

5th of 16, at 151/1, in a 2200m Caen amateurs Class G 10 days ago, but has little chance of confirming

8th of 14 in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 10 days ago. Drops back in category but still has no realistic chance

Excellent campaigner in the amateur category, most recently winning a 2825m Durtal Class F mid-June, and success here would make it 3 amateur wins in a row

Made up for his Saint-Omer sanction with 4th to GYPSIE MAGIQUE (1) in a 2500m Reims amateurs Class G mid-June. Forced to start on back line but is still very much a first-5 candidate
G Sellier

Placed last time at this level and returns to the category after trotting 9th of 15 in a 2800m Class F at Mondoubleau on 16 June. Hind shoes off again but still not an obvious choice
Mme K Castel
Race Overview
ISOLEE DU BOUILLON (2) has hardly put a foot wrong since mid-April, backing up just a few days after a solid effort at Les Andelys and, given her record in this category, will take all the beating. HIJO MOKO (11) won at Durtal in the professional ranks recently, complementing his 2 amateur victories in May and, despite the draw, will be no soft touch. GYPSIE MAGIQUE (1) got back in the winners' circle at Reims recently and, on good behaviour, will be competitive for confirmation. GONDOLIER (4) may not be everyone's cup of tea but she has solid amateur references and must be respected.
Selection:
2 - 11 - 1
