Produced career-best performance when last of 5 finishers in a 2100m Class C here on 10 January and has no realistic chance
Mathieu Inthasane

Superior winner of a 2350m Angers Class D 11 days ago. Pitted against better this time but will be reined by Gabriele Gelormini and can play a small role

Disappointing in last 2, latterly 9th of 11 behind MACHUCAMBO (9) in a Class B over course and distance last weekend, and must get his house in order
Ecurie Ch Bridault

Drops in category after finishing last of 8 in a 2175m Gr.2 here a fortnight ago but still looks to have too much to do
Ecurie Saint Martin

2h4h5h0-h4
Generous colt that ran 4th of 11 behind MACHUCAMBO (9) in a Class B over course and distance last Sunday. is justifiably well-regarded at home and, in this category, can again figure prominently
Ecurie Thierry Duvaldestin

1hDh5h3hDh1
Returns to the main track after winning a 2100m Class C over the inner course a month ago. Steps up in category but has shown improvement with Matthieu Abrivard and will again be expected to put on a good show. Place chance

Quality element making first appearance since coming 2nd of 8 in a 2200m Class B here early-November. Is new to the main track but can impose if he takes to the unfamiliar profile

Faulted early, and later denied a run, but still managed 6th of 13 in a 2850m Class A over the short course on 24 December. Eric Raffin reining this time and will be no pushover

Has not put a foot wrong since his sanctioned debut, latterly 2nd of 11 in a Class B over course and distance last Sunday, and has a realistic chance of winning this

Race Overview
Well-entered and plainly a colt for the future, MACHUCAMBO (9) was beaten only by a very good horse here last weekend and looks the pick this time. Mathieu Mottier will still want to be wary of the progressive MYSTIC SONATO (7) who returns fresh, and the well-regarded MAGICO DE LOU (8) who raced better here on Christmas Eve than the result would suggest.
Selection:
9 - 7 - 8
