Marius Coignard-trained debutante with Adrien Lamy booked to ride. This Orlando Vici filly is best watched for now

Lightly raced filly with scope for further progress after finishing an improved 4th in a 2400m mounted race at Amiens on 15 November. More needed

Caught the eye when finishing 3rd on debut in a 2450m mounted race at Caen but didn't confirm that promise when disqualified there last time on 21 September. Shouldn't be hastily condemned

Delicate 13-start maiden seldom far from a fault in both trotting disciplines, though has improved recently in 3 starts under the saddle - the latest (5th) over 2750m at Cabourg on 26 October. More needed

Caught the eye with a debut 2nd over track and trip in August. Disqualified on her reappearance over the same course and distance on 4 November but shouldn't be hastily condemned

Tricky customer with undeniable means and sound references under the saddle, including a last-start 3rd over 2575m at Saint-Brieuc on 3 November. Experienced filly not taken lightly

Fragile filly disqualified in 5 of 8 appearances in harness races before catching the eye with an improved/encouraging course-and-distance 3rd in her first start under the saddle on 4 November. Dark horse
Ecurie Marie Norberg

Disqualified recently in her first start under the saddle over 2200m at this venue on 14 November but showed enough to acquit herself competitively if remaining wise/avoiding disqualification. Keep safe

Unbeaten in 2 starts, both under the saddle at Cherbourg over 2625m - the latest on 1 November. Held in high esteem

Confirmed the form and improvement of her 2450m Caen success in September by finishing 2nd at Saint-Brieuc over 2575m on 3 November. Not to be underestimated
Ecurie Alexis Grimault

Consistent performer under the saddle with sound references/form credentials, including a course-and-distance 5th in this shoe-fitting on 4 November. Attractive outsider

Talented but fragile filly. Won her last 2 completed races (4 starts), including her latest in this shoe-fitting over 2425m at Angers on 11 November. Question of wisdom
Mme Cl Lenoir

5h2h4h2h4h2
Consistent trotter with sound references/form credentials, albeit in the harness category - twice 4th and 2nd in three of her last 5 starts. Switches to the mounted code after finishing 2nd over 2725m at Graignes on 12 November

Race Overview
LOU DE LANGE (9) has won both starts under the saddle and needn't improve much to complete her hat-trick and remain unbeaten in this specialty. Last-start winner LITTLE STAR (13) and LOVELY JENILOU (8), who didn't go unnoticed despite her disqualification last time look the biggest threat to the selection. f LITTLELOU MATIDY (10) and LUCIOLA DE LOU (6) are best of the remainder.
Selection:
9 - 13 - 8
