Disappointing for some time, latterly last but one in a Class E under these conditions mid-February, and can be ruled out

6th of 13 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class G 3.5 weeks ago. Would be preferred barefoot but can still get in on the action. First 5

Unraced since coming 6th of 9 finishers in a 2650m Alencon Class F last October. Not devoid of ability but will need the race
Mme L Nivard

2mD-mDmDm2
Reassuring 2nd of 12 in a 2825m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 3 March. Has yet to make his mark at Laval but is barefoot as he was 9 days ago and must be taken seriously
Ecurie Danover
G

2hDh4-hDhD
Complicated but capable character making ridden debut after having been sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes harness Class D on 8 February. Has excellent harness references, when applied, and must be retained
Ecurie Adrien Delaroque
G

6m7m7-m5h0
Last of 11 in a harness course-and-distance conditioner mid-February. Has never disappointed under the saddle here and while not a priority will nonetheless generate some interest
Loic Groussard

0mDm1m1-m1
Completed the hat-trick when successful in a Class E over course and distance on 5 February and barring force majeure should have this in the bag
M Cudonnec

1m1m6-m2h0
13th of 16 when preparing for this in a 2625m Cherbourg harness Class F 10 days ago. Unbeaten in 2 here and has every chance of keeping her perfect Laval record intact
Ecurie Rib
G

3m8m6-m4m0
Pleased at Nantes before finishing a surprisingly lacklustre 10th of 12 in a 3000m Class F at the same venue 3 weeks ago. Should not be too hastily-judged and deserves to be brought back into the fold. Place chance
F Doyere

Makes Laval debut after running 8th of 18 in a 2625m Cherbourg harness Class F 10 days ago and will have too much to find

Race Overview
JAZZMAN IDEF (7) showed significant tenacity to impose here early last month, pulling off the hat-trick, and barefoot again, can repeat. Similarly barefoot following a harness freshener earlier this month, JOYEUSE DU RIB (8) will be no soft touch, and neither will HAND DAIRPET (9) if he replicates his comeback performance. After a trio of sanctions in Paris, JASMIN DANOVER (4) reassured at Le Croise and is barefoot for the first time at Laval.
