Consistent for the most part but is a tricky customer - disqualified in 2 of his last 4 starts, the latest on this course in a 2175m mounted race on 11 December. Shouldn't be hastily condemned

Complicated mare with sound references but seldom far from a fault, though usually acquits herself well when remaining wise. Shouldn't be hastily condemned for finishing 10th at Le Mans on 16 December

Delicate but well-performed trotter in the harness code, especially in this shoeing configuration (3 wins in this fitting). Disqualified in a course-and-distance harness race on 15 December but could redeem himself in his first start under the saddle

Consistent hard-knocker with the form and experience in this category to play a leading role. Finished 9th in a 2700m mounted race on this course on 21 December but she ought to far better in this grade/field

Race Overview
Enigmatic JUSTE SNOB (10) didn't go unnoticed last time, despite his disqualification in a harness race here last month, and it could pay to take a chance on him making a winning mounted race debut. Hard-knocker JOYAU DE JANZE (11) boasts the form and experience in this category to expose any chinks in that rival's armour. JERIKA DE KERYANN (12), ideally engaged, and JIMINY CRICKET (9), whose debut under the saddle was encouraging, aren't taken lightly and should acquit themselves competitively, along with Damien Bonne's new recruit JOMIZIO (6).
Selection:
