Decent sort that ran 4th of 12, on first start back, in a 2825m Class F here on 24 February. Nicely-placed in front and can finally lose his maiden status

Makes first public appearance since coming 6th of 12 finishers in a Class F over course and distance early-November. Handed a good draw but may first need the run

Lost his action in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Reunited with Pierre-Yves Verva who placed with him early last month and looks thoroughly capable of finishing close

Starts for first time since dominating a 2850m Laon Class F mid-October. Is just 75 Euros from elimination and if race-fit can bring home the bacon

Showed marked improvement when 5th of 12, a place behind LATINUS AVIS (2), in a 2825m Class F here on 24 February. Not ideally-drawn but in this small field looks a player

Race Overview
Sent for a break after winning 2 for 2 last autumn, LUTIN DE LA BESVRE (5) will have come on over the winter and, even though shod for comeback, he is well-placed in front and has every chance of maintaining his perfect record. That being said, LATINUS AVIS (2) gave a good account here on his recent re-entry and racing first-time barefoot can get off the mark. LET IT SNOW (4) failed to complement his own return run but has no shortage of ability and is ideally placed to make amends. A place behind the Baudouin horse here recently, L'HEMENCOURT (9) is on the back line this time but can still apply the pressure.
