Returned to victorious ways late last month, winning a 3450m amateurs Class H at Agon-Coutainville. Goes shod this time but is not incapable of repeating

5th of 10 when preparing for this in a 2600m amateurs Class H at Saint-Pierre-la-Cour in middle of June. Pleased on lone appearance here and, with front shoes off this time, can play a leading role
D Dupre

3h2h1h1h8h5
Unlucky 5th of 14 finishers in a 2775m Craon amateurs Class G on 23 June. Has already won twice this term and, from the front row, can set the record straight
P Y Bouvier

Disappointing since winning at Meslay earlier in the year, most recently 7th of 9 finishers in a 2700m Erbray amateurs Class H on Sunday, and backs up with limited prospects
K Giraud

4th of 8 finishers in a 3100m amateurs Class H at Nort-sur-Erdre early last month. Has never delivered at the venue but at this level, looks a serious proposition
G Prat

Honest type but disappointing 10th of 12 in a 3100m amateurs Class H at La Gacilly last weekend. Breaks in front but still not easy to make a case

5th of 13 in a 2850m Laval amateurs monte Class G 8 days ago. Barefoot this time but is here for a change of scenery and can be passed over
C Marolleau

Considerably better than her recent 8th of 12 in a 2675m Erbray amateurs Class H performance would suggest. Benefits from a front-row start and, even with shoes on, warrants respect
Cl Guillon

Reassuring 5th of 12 in a Class H under similar conditions here last Saturday. Just front shoes off this time and, from the 2nd line, will need to find more
Mme R Guine

4h0h8h2h5h0
Last but one when preparing for this in a 2500m Molieres Class H last Sunday. Excels at Pornichet and even with shoes on, can make his presence felt
P Hergno

Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2300m Le Mans monte Class F last October. Shoes on and no threat
Daniel Blandin

Respectable 6th of 13 in a 2800m amateurs Class F at Sable-sur-Sarthe late last month but needs to take his game up a level in order to compete for a slice of the pie
Alexis Bernard

Can prove a handful but reassured when 6th of 8 in a 2725m Cabourg amateurs Class F last week. Has nothing to prove in this category and can get a look-in
F Chapdelaine
G

0hDh2hDhDmD
Has decent amateur references, and has won here, but sanctioned in a 2975m Jallais Class H early-May. Comes here fresh but still not easy to like
J J X Barre

10th of 12, behind HERMINE SIMARDIERE (7), in a 2850m Laval amateurs Class G last week. Just hind shoes on this time but is still out of his depth
Didier Lepage
Race Overview
Front-row starters have the advantage here and GALET DU LEON (3) can expect significant support considering he would have won at Craon had he not faulted turning for home. Francois Berthault will nonetheless be keeping a keen eye on the unshod-behind HOLY D'AIMTE (5) who has taken well to the new category, and the in-form, and reconfigured, HARCANGE (2) who has come close more than once this term. HORYVIL DES MOYEUX (1) is back doing what he does best in the amateur category and even though shod this time, still looks a player.
