Quality individual returning to racing left-handed after coming 2nd of 11 in a 3525m Vichy Class A early last month. Shoes back on though and best to hold off

Makes first appearance since coming 11th of 16 in a 2800m Cholet Class C late-April. Has other priorities and can be passed over

Produced his career-best performance when runner-up to HARLEY GEMA (6) in a 2850m Vincennes Class A 2 weeks ago. Sports a new configuration and starting in front will do his chances no harm

Sanctioned, when clearly going well, in a 2150m Class B here late-May, after having secured the hat-trick. Has otherwise a fine Enghien record and is not to be underestimated

Disappointing in 2024, latterly 9th of 11 finishers behind HARLEM DE BUCY (9) in a 2150m Class A here 3 weeks ago, and is not about to spring any surprises

Imperious winner of a 2850m Vincennes Class A a fortnight ago. Pleased here earlier in the year and, from the front row, looks every part the one to beat

9th of 14 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes Class B on 31 May. Not an obvious choice, but starts on the first line and looks an interesting outsider

Like a horse reborn over past 2 months, securing the 3-timer just over 2 weeks ago in a 2650m Bordeaux Gr.3. Enjoys a good entry in front and will be expected to apply the pressure on HARLEY GEMA (6)

Sanctioned on return to competition early last month in a 2625m Alencon Class A. Is still in conditioning-mode and not a contender this time

4th to HARLEY GEMA (6) in a 2850m Vincennes Class A a fortnight ago, on just his 2nd start since the spring break. Incurs the penalty but will have a lot to offer if he has progressed as expected

Race Overview
When barefoot and focused, HARLEY GEMA (6) is a tough nut to crack and the nature of her recent Vincennes victory augurs well for her prospects of pulling off the hat-trick. Fourth that day, GASPAR D'ANGIS (12) returns to racing barefoot and even though 25m worse off, still looks a major player, although he may first have to defer to the better-placed, and resurgent, IGREC DE CELLAND (8) who benefits from an excellent entry in front. FONZY D'HERIPRE (4) won 3 in a row before faulting here late-May but has had time to get his house in order and Alexandre Abrivard will be out to make amends.
Selection:
6 - 8 - 12
