Unraced since coming a disappointing 8th of 17 in a 2950m Le Mans Class E mid-December and will have nothing to contribute

3h0h9-h0h0
Last of 12 when preparing for this in a 2875m Argentan Class F 10 days ago. No slouch on a good day and is barefoot for the occasion, but can nevertheless expect to face a stiff test
S Pillon

Surprise 5th of 17 in a 3125m Angers Class F late last month. Will not be available at 127/1 this time but cannot be considered a concern either
Ph Julien

Never far from losing his action but reassuring 2nd of 18 in a 3000m Chateaubriant Class D on 3 February. In a moderate lot this time and will again have a claim on the silverware
Francois Avon-eslan
G

3h7h3-h6h6
Disappointing 6th of 11 in a 3150m Saint-Brieuc Class E on 2 February. Continues to race with pads here and is unlikely to shake things up
Th Desmarres
G

2h7h0-h7h4
Showed marked improvement when 4th of 13 in a 3000m Nantes Class E 12 days ago. Benjamin Rochard in the bike this time and deserves to be retained
Ch Duchier

0h6h9h2-h5
Left a good impression on re-entry, coming 5th of 10 in a 2100m Class D here on 2 February. Will have progressed for the run and can pick up a cheque
Jeremy Paillard

Made it 3 straight sanctions when faulting in a 2850m Class D here 2.5 weeks ago. Imposed at Enghien last time when fitted with 4 pads but others still easier to trust
Guy Profizi
G

8h0h7h3h3h0
Makes first appearance since finishing 10th of 16 in a Class D over course and distance on 22 November. Is an honest trotter, races barefoot for the occasion, and should be good enough to make first 5
Ecurie Alain Laurent
G

4th of 10 in a 2750m Toulouse Class E on 18 January but has a lot more to find on Vincennes debut
P Derville
G

7hDh2h7-h0
Reliability not his strong suit and most recently 10th of 13 in a Class E over 2100m here 2 weeks ago, but has respectable references over 2700m here and can play a small part
Ph Gendry
G

8hDhDm8hDh0
11th of 13, a place behind HERAKLION DESBOIS (11), in a Class E over 2100m here 2 weeks ago, and will need to raise his game
D Bornet
F

1hDh5-h5h0
Gave a fine account despite being disqualified in a 2850m Class D here 2.5 weeks ago. Has pleased for the most part this term and can make the frame if kept out of trouble
A Dreux
G

3h2h1-hDhD
Sanctioned for a 2nd straight time when after faulting in a 3150m Saint-Brieuc Class E 10 days ago. Won for the day's driver late-December though and, with application, can open his Vincennes account
S Tessier
F

8h8h5h0h5h1
Held back since comfortably winning a 3000m Nantes Class F mid-December. Ideally-entered with no penalty to incur this time and can get straight down to business
Mme V Moquet

Wonderfully-engaged but will need to improve on his 7th of 14 in a 2725m Graignes Class E a fortnight ago

Race Overview
GISARO (4) may not be the easiest of horses to handle but he came close in his last two harness outings and deserves to be rewarded with victory. Better-entered at the limit of earnings, and fresh following a short break, GROUPIE DU QUENNE (15) will be reined by Jean-Michel Bazire for the first time and is not incapable of confirming her Nantes success. Reunited with Matthieu Abrivard after a brace of sanctions, GOELAND DE JANZE (14) will have a lot to offer if he keeps trotting. Even though ultimately disqualified here last time out, GUESS FOUTEAU (13) nevertheless showed her form and the engagement of David Thomain will do her prospects no disservice.
