7th of 11 in a 2550m Bordeaux Class E last week. Associated with a top driver this time and will have a lot to offer if he positions his charge early

6th of 8 behind IMPARTIAL (13), on re-entry, in a 2550m Reims Class E on 7 December. Handed a good draw but would be preferred barefoot

In the frame in last 2, latterly 3rd of 16 in a 2875m Argentan Class E a week ago, and provided he stays in stride, should have this in the bag

Encouraging 5th of 12 in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 2.5 weeks ago. Handed an excellent draw but can expect to find the going somewhat tougher

Given time to come to hand after finishing 11th of 13 in a 2100m Vincennes Class C mid-November. 4 pads fitted for first time and the draw will do his chances no harm. First 5

Returns to racing barefoot after finishing 12th of 16 in a Saint-Brieuc Class E early last month. Encouraged last time here and while not a priority can still finish in the mix

Put on a good show to run 2nd of 10 in a 2725m Graignes Class E 3 weeks ago. Will not be sent out at 21/1 this time and a place in the frame is well within her capacity

Unable to confirm Chartres performance when 7th of 12 behind GERGOVIE DE GODREL (6) in a 2725m Graignes Class E on 12 November, and the draw only compounds matters

Reassuring 2nd of 17 in a 3000m Chateaubriant Class E a month back. Races shod this time however and best to wait

4th of 10 behind HIRONDELLE FEE (7) in a 2725m Graignes Class E 3 weeks ago. Is considerably better than that, has previously won here, and even from the 2nd row has a lot to contribute

Unremarkable mare that finished last but one in a 2700m Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago and is not easy to recommend

Fine mare that ran 3rd of 12 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 25 November. Has other priorities though and can be passed over

Reassuring 4th of 8 in a 2550m Reims Class E on 7 December. Has been afforded ample time to recover and despite a tough draw still looks a serious proposition

Respectable 5th of 10 finishers in a 2750m Toulouse Class F late-October. Shoes on, poorly-drawn, and can be ruled out

Race Overview
It didn't take long for HETRE D'OURVILLE (3) to show his form after a 5-months' absence and from the 3-spot can impose. Alexis Collette will still want to be wary of the less-favourably-drawn IMPARTIAL (13) who caught the eye at Reims, and the wonderfully-consistent HAMIGO (10) who should logically turn the tables on the widely-drawn, but on-song, HIRONDELLE FEE (7) who has front shoes off this time.
Selection:
3 - 13 - 10
