Lost her action in a 2850m Laval Class D a month back. Has had time to get her house in order and, with application, is unlikely to disappoint

Disappointed at Pontchateau before faulting in a 3450m Class F at Agon-Coutainville earlier this month. Need to reassure but the Eric Raffin-factor must be taken into account

Solid as a rock over past 4 months, most recently 2nd of 10 in a Class D over course and distance on 10 July, and will not be far from the action

Not the easiest to handle but showed her form after being sanctioned in a 2950m Le Mans Class E 11 days ago and will be dangerous if she can keep her mind on the game

Quality mare that was beaten only by a very good horse in a 2875m Class D here mid-June. Comes here fresh, is well-placed behind the car, and can bring home the bacon

Imposed at Chartres before trotting 3rd of 14 in a 2700m Class F at La Capelle on 9 July. Starts in front and can again make the frame

Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class E early-May. Barefoot for re-entry but expected to need the run

4th over 2300m at Ostend on return to competition mid-month. Is no slouch when barefoot and focused, but still no more than a minor place chance
K De Poorter

Has done nothing of note since winning at La Capelle 12 months ago. Sanctioned in last 5, latterly a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 9 days ago, and can be passed over

Unplaced in all 3 starts this year, latterly 7th of 12 in a 2650m Pornichet Class E earlier this month, and will need to raise her game

Last of 12, on French debut, in a 2650m Pornichet Class E on 11 July and already looks out of her league

Race Overview
Clearly close to her race and solid 2nd over longer here last month, GONNABE SHADOW (5) is nicely-placed on the front line and, with form maintained, should have the measure of the tricky but immensely capable, and barefoot, IDYLLE DE MAHEY (4) who will be a tough nut to crack if Benjamin Rochard can keep her trotting. Very hard to fault over past 2.5 months, HELIA DE LAXA (6) debuts at the venue with a good hand to play. The regular IROMEE (1) should not be too hastily-judged for her recent performance and Mathieu Mottier will be expected to put things right.
