Back on the right road following a couple of mid-season blips, coming 2nd of 9 in a 2500m Questembert Class H late last month. Takes a significant step up in category but pleased on lone start with Matthieu Abrivard reining

Modest filly that finished last but one in a 2775m Craon Class F just under 3 weeks ago and will struggle to make any impact

Showed promise at 3 but below-par this year. Came 7th of 12 in a 2850m Laval Class E on 13 June and is not about to shake things up

Took no time getting down to business following her long layoff, latterly winning a 2525m Class F at Les Andelys 11 days ago. Hind shoes off for the first time and despite the step up in category, looks competitive for a payday

Has progressed respectably, most recently trotting 2nd of 11 in a 2625m Class F at Saint-Jean-de-Monts late last month. Shoes back on though and best to hold off

Disappointing since winning at Graignes in April. Reverts to racing unshod-behind and can make up for faulting in a 2850m Class F at Maure-de-Bretagne early-June
Sebastien Montule

6th of 11 finishers in a 2825m Sable-sur-Sarthe Class F on 30 June and will need to raise her game considerably

Lost her maiden tag in a 2975m Jallais Class F on 16 June. Will have come on for the run, comes here with morale intact, and looks a player

Serious future prospect that was sanctioned on re-entry early-June in a 2650m Alencon Class F. Has never disappointed when shod and is capable of giving KISS ME DU BOULAY (10) a run for her money

Quality filly that was a surprisingly lacklustre 10th of 12 in a 2850m Laval Class E on 13 June but Yvonnick Dousset will be loathe to allow the same thing to happen a second time. Claim

Last of 4 finishers, but did not disappoint, in a 2600m Class F at La Roche-Posay on 23 June. Has a lot going for her this time and will be no shrinking violet

Rather disappointing 6th of 8 in a 2800m Chartres Class E on 30 June. Sebastien Hardy could not have hoped for a better entry though and looks a decent first-5 prospect

Race Overview
Simply superb in her first three starts this year, KISS ME DU BOULAY (10) should not be too hastily judged for her recent clinker and can more than make amends by winning this. She will still come up against resistance from the likes of the tricky KANAILLE DU LUPIN (9) who returns to racing barefoot, and a similarly unshod KELLE BELLE JASMA (8) who got that maiden monkey off her back last time out. KAIPIRINHA (11) has yet to get off the mark but she sports a new configuration, with Eric Raffin reining, and will also have her chances.

10 - 9 - 8
