Never pushed when last but one, on comeback, in a harness Class D over course and distance a fortnight ago. Shoes off for the occasion but still faces a stiff test
Mme S Bruni
F

1m2hDm5hDhD
Sanctioned in a 2825m Cordemais Class E on 28 February. Tricky mare but has solid ridden references, sports a previous formula, and with Mathieu Mottier reining should not be written off
M Journo

1mDh9mDh0h0
Lost her way during the winter, most recently 10th of 14 finishers in a 2800m Cholet harness Class F 10 days ago, and will have little to contribute
L Laudren
F

4-m6m4h0mD
Sanctioned after suffering interference in a 2450m Caen Class F on 3 March. Cannot be considered a contender but showed her form last time and must be afforded respect
A Hubert
G

2m5-m4m3m1
Rewarded with victory in a 3000m Nantes Class F 3 weeks ago. Is consistently in the thick of things and has a respectable chance of repeating
Didier Lepage
G

6mDmDmDmDh0
Complicated but capable sort that came last of 14 in a 2500m harness Class E at La Rochelle, on re-entry, 10 days ago. Has bags of ability though and, barefoot this time, can get in on the action
Ecurie Ch A Mary
G

8h7h6-h8h3
Steps back up in category and switches code after running 3rd of 12 in a 2850m Vincennes harness amateurs Class G on 21 February. Sports 4 pads for first time and should not be ruled out
Cl Guillon
G

7m6m9m8-m8
Last but one, on return from a lengthy break, in a Class E over course and distance on 27 February. Shod to preference this time but others still easier to back
Ch Henry

2m5mDh0m3hD
Pleasantly surprised in a Vincennes Class D before being sanctioned in a 2800m Vire Class E 10 days ago and will need to find considerably more
Ecurie Du Haras De L'epinay
G
7 yrs
9m7m1m4m3h0
Last but one, on return to competition, in a harness Class D over course and distance on 27 February. Has decent Laval credentials and with shoes off will have a role to play
Ecurie Daidou
G
8 yrs
7m3-m5m4m4
4th of 12, a place behind HAWAI RIVER (13), in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 16 February. Races barefoot for Laval debut and can run her closer this time
Ecurie Comte P De Montesson
G

Has monte form at home in Sweden but will need to improve on recent 6th of 12 behind HAWAI RIVER (13) in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 16 February
Travkompaniets Stall Ab
F
8 yrs
0m3mD-m9m3
Blows hot and cold but ran a good 3rd of 12 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 16 February and a similar performance would see her wrap this up
A Manzi

Sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago. Reunited with Eric Raffin who has previously won with him and will not be far from the action
Stall Ebba Britta
G

Defied his 121/1 when 6th of 12 in a 2825m Cordemais Class D late last month but a repeat seems most improbable

Race Overview
HAWAI RIVER (13) may not always be the easiest of horses to manage but she put on a fine show in Paris mid-February, should take well to the Laval profile, and looks a marginally better choice than HOTKATISSIME (11) who has been acquitting himself well lately. The recently victorious HERACLES DU LAYON (5) is 25m better off and although yet to make his mark here, still looks competitively well-in. HAZOE DES GLENAN (4) was unlucky at Caen last time out and Flavien Poisson will be intent on putting things right.
Selection:
13 - 11 - 5
