In the frame in 2 of last 3, most recently 3rd of 16 in a 2700m Graignes amateurs Class G 2.5 weeks ago. Steps back up in category, with hind shoes off, but is still no more than an outside chance

8th of 16 behind I LOVE JAM (1) in a 2700m Graignes amateurs Class G 2.5 weeks ago, and has no realistic chance

Good 4th of 9 finishers in a 2725m Graignes Class F a month back. Is never far from faulting but with stride in check can finish in the mix

Has not been seen out since finishing 11th of 16 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F on 13 November. Shoes off for comeback but others still easier to like

Starts for first time since running 6th of 12 in a 2500m Reims Class F mid-November. Returns from a break but is barefoot for the occasion and should have a good hand to play

8th of 14 behind JAGUAR D'ERABLE (7) in a 2700m Vincennes Class F on 11 February. Has never delivered here but in current form is hard to ignore
J P Stievano

Versatile sort that missed out by little in a 2700m Vincennes Class F on 11 February. Is plainly close to his race and Theo Bizoux can be confident of a big run. Claim

Sanctioned, on return to competition, in a 3000m Nantes Class E on 26 January. Is clearly off his porridge and with shoes on can be ruled out
Louis Gasnault

Makes Caen debut a month after having secured a 2725m Graignes Class F a month ago. Is new to Caen but in current condition can be assured significant support

Failed to confirm Mauquenchy performance when sanctioned in a 2500m Reims amateurs Class G 11 days ago. Is in his category, gets on well with Alice Bourgoin, and with application will not be far off the mark

Unexceptional 5th of 14 in a 2700m Class D at Lyon-La Soie 2.5 weeks ago. Always gives his best but that is not going to be enough this time around

Ran 3rd at Nantes prior to coming 4th of 16 in a 2300m Chateaubriant Class E on 3 February. Arguably better racing left-handed but is plainly in rude health and will be expected to play an active role. Place prospect

Unremarkable 5th of 14 in a 2700m Class D at Lyon-La Soie 2.5 weeks ago. Has previously won under these conditions but on this occasion will struggle to make his mark

Race Overview
In the frame in two of his last 3, JAGUAR D'ERABLE (7) has taken his game to another level recently and, twice a runner-up here, can go one better. Theo Bizoux can nonetheless expect to be opposed by a barefoot JURA (9) who is plainly back at his best, and the superbly-entered JOW PIQUENARD (15) who has been very hard to fault this winter. JOKER DE VOUEDE (6) can prove a handful but has acquitted himself decently in Paris and in this category looks a player.
