Reinvigorated since switching back to the day's configuration, most recently 3rd of 16 in a 2350m Angers Class F 10 days ago. Benefits from a golden entry here and has a decent chance of imposing

12th of 16 to INES D'HERMES (1) in race of reference. Has been off the boil since the summer and must get her house in order
Mlle Ch Le Coz

Ran 5th of 16 in 9 December race of reference. Handed a good draw and even though shod this time, should still figure prominently
Ecurie S G Dupont

Ran 5th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class E mid-November after having imposed at Le Mont-Saint-Michel. Is no slouch under harness and can make her presence felt
Ecurie De L' Iton

6h0h2h3h5h0
Useful sort making first appearance since 10 October when finishing 11th of 14 in a 2150m Enghien Class E. Handed a good draw, is barefoot for re-entry, and well-placed to give this a good go
Ecurie Eclair

Won 2 before running 4th of 16, a place behind INES D'HERMES (1), in a 2350m Angers Class F 10 days ago. Benjamin Rochard gets the nod here and must be considered a serious contender
Ph Boutin

Returns to the provinces after coming 4th of 9 in a 2850m Vincennes Class E 11 days ago. Won her only Cabourg start and will justifiably garner significant support
J Gosselin

Dm0h2h5h1h4
Imposed at Mauquenchy before coming 4th of 10 in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 2 December. Not ideally-drawn but must nevertheless be afforded respect
Ecurie Malvoisie

6h6h4hDh6h4
Encouraging 4th of 14, at 37/1, in a 2650m Saint-Galmier Class H 3.5 weeks ago but confirmation seems most improbable
D Cinier

6h8h9m4h9h0
10th of 16 in 9 December race of reference, on 2nd start back. Has placed just once in 4 here and the draw will do her no favours
L Gosselin

1h6h8h2h4h2
In the frame in 2 of last 3, latterly 2nd of 11 in a 2725m Graignes Class F on 12 November. Starts on back line but sports 4 pads for the occasion and must not be underestimated
Ecurie Fac

Tricky character that finished last in a 2400m Amiens amateurs Class G on 1 December and has no realistic chance
Ecurie Stephane Levoy

D-h0h8h7hD
Lost her action in a 2850m Vincennes Class E 11 days ago. Won here in 2023 but has been off the boil since and even sporting hind pads will have nothing to give
Ecurie Comte P De Montesson

4h9hDh0h4h8
Encouraged at Cherbourg before finishing 8th of 10 behind INESTELLE (8) in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 2 December and can be confidently ruled out

Race Overview
INES D'HERMES (1) enjoys a super entry, has been knocking at the door recently, and could well win her first race for 3 years. Kevin Lebouteiller will still be keeping a keen eye on IRONIE DE CHENU (6) who finished a place behind his mare at Angers, and the widely-drawn but in-form IASELMA (7) who imposed here in October. IRMA DE L'ECLAIR (5) may not have been seen out for over 2 months but she returns in competition-mode and must be taken seriously.
