Facile winner of a 3000m Nantes Class E on 22 February, her first start for 4 months. Will have progressed for the run, is competitively-shod for first time, and must not be underestimated

3rd of 11 to LOVELY JIM (2), on re-entry, in a 3000m Nantes Class E on 22 February. Is proven racing clockwise but takes on a good lot this time and unlikely to stir things up

Made amends for Mauquenchy blip when 2nd of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Is close to his race but in this company may have to settle for a minor place

8th of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D a month ago but subsequently placed last. Showed her form all the same and will be no pushover if David Thomain keeps her focused

Sanctioned on re-entry a fortnight ago in a 2825m Cordemais Class E. No question about her ability though and the presence of Eric Raffin in the bike can make all the difference. Chance

Race Overview
Following a well-earned break, LUTECE D'ELA (7) took little time getting back to victorious ways and can wrap this up too if she takes to Caen conditions. That being said, Yoann Lebourgeois would be wise to be wary of LADY DU VALLON (10) who will be reined by the champion driver this time, and a reconfigured LOVELY JIM (2) who defied her odds to impose at 29/1 on her first appearance since October. LUGACHA (12) is just 100 Euros from elimination and will have a lot to contribute if Paul Ploquin keeps her focused.
Selection:
7 - 10 - 2
