Headed into 2nd of 10 in a Class E over course and distance on 17 December. Won here during the autumn and looks eminently capable of adding another victory to her tally

Made short work of a 2700m Vincennes Class E 3 weeks ago. Has no monte references here but is nonetheless capable of playing a prominent role

Placed at Chartres before running 4th of 7 in a 2175m Vincennes Class E a month ago. Was not disgraced that day and, even racing shod, at this level should be able to finish in the mix

Has twice failed to confirm Mont-Saint-Michel success, latterly 6th of 16 in a 2650m Bordeaux Class E on 17 December, and chances seem limited

Debuts in the discipline after finishing last of 18, on re-entry, in a 2800m Pontchateau harness Class E on 22 December. Barefoot this time but others still preferred

Courageous 4th of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class F mid-November. Comes here fresh and looks main threat to IMELDA (1)

Oddly below-par in last 2, most recently 6th of 8 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 10 December. In this small field though could pick up a first-5 cheque

Useful sort but has not raced since coming 6th of 15 in a 2500m Saint-Brieuc Class E 2 months ago. Shoes on and best to hold off
F Delanoe

Flattering last of 3 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 14 December. Is not without merit though, reverts to a configuration last used in 2021, and could pleasantly surprise

Race Overview
A tough nut to crack when focused, IMELDA (1) just missed out by little here recently and, reconfigured for the occasion, can put things right. Clearly in shape and very much a fan of these conditions, HAND DES ELIES (6) has never failed to fire here when barefoot and Benjamin Rochard stays faithful. IDYLLE COPAISE (2) trounced the opposition in Paris early last month and will have a lot to offer if she takes to the Cabourg profile.
