Travels the length of the country in a bid to make up for faulting in a 2700m Cagnes Class E 10 days ago. On the rail again but races barefoot this time and should not be overlooked

Should not be too hastily-judged for running 10th of 13 behind IATHUS DANICA (10) in a Class F over course and distance 12 days ago. Boasts solid references here and the draw will do his chances no disservice

Makes first appearance since finishing 11th of 13 in a 2175m Vincennes Class D on 4 January. Front shoes off for re-entry but may just be a race shy of ready
Ecurie Marie Norberg

0h8h5-h2h4
4th of 16 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D a month ago. Has been knocking at the door and from the 4-spot can make a big splash

Solid 3rd of 14 in a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Terrifically-entered here and Alban Mallet will be eager to make hay
Ecurie Charles Dreux

0h3-h2hDh3
In the frame in 3 of last 4, latterly 3rd of 12 in a 2900m Amiens Class F last Wednesday. Backs up but in present shape is easy to like

Looked very ordinary on comeback when last but one behind IATHUS DANICA (10) in a Class F over course and distance 12 days ago and is not about to influence the result
B Dupuis

Modest individual that has not been seen out since finishing last of 11 in a 2600m Cherbourg Class F last August. Is new to the venue and no fireworks anticipated

Unexceptional trotter starting for first time since being sanctioned in a 2850m Mauquenchy amateurs Class G late-November. Shoes on and no threat
Ecurie Danover

4h5hD-h9h6
Surprise 6th of 13 finishers in a Class F under these conditions 12 days ago. Will not be sent out at 83/1 this time but is not an obvious choice either
P Guenik

2-h8h5h0h7
7th of 10 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago. Handed a back-row number but is still worth keeping an eye on
A Baumann

Unraced since winning an amateurs Class G over track and trip mid-December. Barefoot again but a repeat seems most unlikely
J Van Gampelaere
F

1h0-h8h0hD
Sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 10 days ago. Is behind in earnings and can lift this if she stays in stride

Unseen since coming 3rd of 13 in a 2750m Cabourg ridden Class E last June. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be ignored
Ecurie J-f Senet

9h2h3-h3h6
Did not live up to expectations when 6th of 16 behind JADE (4) in a 2100m Vincennes Class D a month back. Is not far off getting back in the winners' circle and must be considered a contender
P Delaporte
G
6 yrs
4hDh8m2h2mD
Tricky but capable character starting for the first time since faulting in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class D late-November. Has nothing going for him here and can be passed over

Race Overview
Somewhat out of sorts this winter, JOY DU CARNOIS (13) will be competitively-shod for the first time in the provinces and can make up for her recent sanction. William Forniglia will nonetheless be legitimately wary of the better-positioned JADE (4) who is close to his race, and a reinvigorated JEDUISANT (5) who starts upsides. JASMIN DU NORD (15) was at the back of the queue when the draw was made but he has been reconfigured, is as honest as they get, and a big run will be expected.
Selection:
13 - 4 - 5
