5th of 9 finishers in a Class D over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago, first time under the saddle. Will have progressed for the run, Adrien Lamy in the saddle this time, and must be considered a player

Surprisingly sanctioned over 2100m at Wolvega 2 weeks ago. Has otherwise taken superbly to his new vocation and will be expected to give ILLUSIVE GLORY (8) a run for her money

Back in the discipline after running 6th of 11 in a 2700m harness claimer here 11 days ago, and is not about to cause an upset

Returns to Vincennes after running 4th of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-month. Consistently gives his best but still no more than a minor place chance

Made it 2 straight harness wins when successful over 2100m at Monchengladbach 3.5 weeks ago. Has placed just once under the saddle at Vincennes though and even racing barefoot, looks an outsider

Unremarkable 6th of 9 in a 2850m Class D here last week. Is proven under these conditions though and will not be too far from the action if he can replicate his penultimate performance

Flew up in a 2100m harness Class D here early this month. Unseen under the saddle for 14 months but has already won twice here for Pierre-Yves Verva and confirmation is not out of the question

Race Overview
A fine servant in this branch of the business, ILLUSIVE GLORY (8) won like a good thing here 10 days ago and drops in distance with every chance of doubling her money. Less-experienced but no less capable under the saddle, STACCATO HL (2) did not miss out by much here on New Year's Eve and Paul Ploquin will be keen to ensure his charge bridges that gap. G.K.JUSTUS (9) enjoys a good entry, recently won under harness, and must be respected on his return to the discipline. CHEYENNE LUX (1) gave a very good account on his recent monte bow and, reconfigured for the occasion, has a decent shot of making the frame.
Selection:
8 - 2 - 9
