4th in 17 February race of reference. Has not put a foot wrong all winter but appears to be taking on too much this time

8th of 9 finishers to DIE HARD (ITY) (3) in a Class D over course and distance on 17 February. Has yet to show a liking for Vincennes and others preferred

Impressive Class D course-and-distance winner on 17 February. Steps up in category but, if still on the boil, can play a prominent part

Clearly in excellent shape when sanctioned in a similar event here mid-January and his driver will be out to set the record straight. Place chance

Got back in the game when 3rd of 9 finishers to DIE HARD (ITY) (3) in 17 February race of reference and, with form maintained, can get a look-in

Classy Scandinavian that flew up in a Class C over course and distance late last month. Returns to the venue with morale intact and will be expected to give JE TE CHERCHE (9) something to think about

Runner-up in 3 of last 4, latterly to CAMERON (6) in a Class C over course and distance late last month. Unlikely to get his nose in front but in present shape is easy to like for a first-5 cheque

Tenacious 3rd of 11 in a 2100m Class B here on 23 January. Is clearly back at his best but represents no more than a minor place prospect this time

Excellent servant with an enviable strike-rate, latterly comfortable winner of a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F 9 days ago. Just 7 year-olds to contend with this time and will logically take all of the beating

Has not been seen out since running 3rd of 7 in a 2475m Francheville Class F last August and will need the race

Ran 2nd here last month before finishing 8th of 12 in a Class D under these conditions 12 days ago and is not about to cause an upset

Sanctioned when unsupported in 17 February race of reference and others easier to back

Serious Swedish type that ran 2nd to DIE HARD (ITY) (3) in a Class D over track and trip 11 days ago. Benjamin Rochard reins this time, enjoys an excellent entry and, shod to preference, must be considered a player

5th of 9 finishers to DIE HARD (ITY) (3) in a Class D over course and distance on 17 February. Matthieu Abrivard could not have hoped for a better entry and will legitimately endeavour to make hay

Race Overview
Undefeated when barefoot and unbeaten over course and distance, JE TE CHERCHE (9) returns to the capital on a hat-trick and has every chance of pulling it off. That being said, Swedish raider CAMERON (6) won his French bow in style and will not go down easily. JANKO HAUFOR (4) is hard to knock when focused and Damien Bonne will be keen to get his charge back on track. It took some time but DIE HARD (ITY) (3) opened his Vincennes account in good order recently and will not be available at 15/1 this time around.
Selection:
9 - 6 - 4
