Held back since qualifying in 1'1'9 at Grosbois last October. Is a filly of considerable promise and will have a lot to offer if she takes to the new profile
P Dequeker

Qualified pleasantly in 1'19'7 at Grosbois on 17 December but looks no more than a minor place prospect
Jaime Andreu Gomila
F

Qualified in 1'19'3 at Grosbois early-December. Takes on some serious horses first time out and cannot be considered a priority
G Guillochain
F

Did everything right in qualification last October, posting a time of 1'19'5 at Caen. Unlikely to get straight off the mark but should nonetheless finish thereabouts
A Taieb
F

Qualified in 1'19'9 at Caen on 30 October. Is no standout in this field but can make first 5 if she gets around unscathed
J G Van Eeckhaute

Has not been seen in public since posting 1'20'3 at Grosbois last August and will first need to find her bearings

Sanctioned when heavily-backed on debut late last month in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F. Has been talked up for good reason and, with application, can impose
P Azria
F

Racecourse debutante that qualified in 1'20'5 at Grosbois last July but plainly has significant potential and should be good enough to finish in the mix
R Schmacht

Makes first appearance since finishing last of 10 in a 2400m Amiens Class E late-October and is unlikely to be troubling the judge

Produced a quartet of sanctions before running 3rd of 11 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F 11 days ago and can open her account if she stays in stride

Race Overview
As complicated as she is talented, MERVEILLEUSE (10) returned from her spell with an excellent effort in Rouen and could well with this if Pierre-Yves Verva keeps her focused. MALICE DELADOU (7), though, showed potential despite being sanctioned on his recent debut. The untried, but well-related, MAFIA (1) qualified nicely at Grosbois during the autumn and is sure to garner support. MAYA GERBEHAYE (8) may not have set off any fireworks when qualifying but she is nicely-bred and Julien Raffestin will be quietly confident.
