Sanctioned, on return from a spell, in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F on 25 February. Has no love for Caen and can be passed over

6th of 8 finishers when preparing for this in a 3000m Nantes harness Class E on 18 February. Won here last November and is not going to be far off the mark
B Carpentier

Debuts under the saddle after having been sanctioned in a 2200m harness Class E here 10 days ago. Is not without merit but will nonetheless struggle in this company
Ecurie Muriel Thomas

Makes first appearance since being sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes harness Class D on 7 January. Tricky character but already boasts 3 Caen victories and can go close if Paul Ploquin keeps him focused

Complicated but capable type starting for first time since being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class E last October. Is barefoot for re-entry though and must not be overlooked

Useful type returning to code of preference after 2 harness conditioners, latterly sanctioned in a 2800m Vire Class E 11 days ago. Hind shoes off and worth keeping an eye on

Back under the saddle after winning a 2850m harness Class E at Laval mid-February. Has previously scored for Mathieu Mottier and is eminently capable of repeating
Alexandre Beaufils

Placed twice before running 6th of 8, following an uneasy break, in a 2700m Vincennes Class D late-January. Enjoys an excellent entry though and will be expected to bring the fight to KRYSEIS (12)
Ecurie Du Haras D'erable
Race Overview
Winner on her ridden debut at Vincennes last November, and most recently victorious under harness, KRYSEIS (12) is reunited with Mathieu Mottier, will be shod as she was in Paris, and looks a marginally better option to KRISTALE D'ERABLE (13) who has never let the side down at Caen. Significantly better than latest numbers would suggest, KORSO SNOB (3) returns barefoot to a track he appreciates and must be respected, as should the reconfigured KANTOUTSTART (7) who will be ridden by Eric Raffin for the occasion.
Selection:
12 - 13 - 3
