4th of 18 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F on 2 March. Has ample ability but would be preferred barefoot at a lower level

Would have finished closer than 4th of 16 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 9 February had he been afforded a run. Thrives with the day's driver and could even win this

Hardy and versatile trotter that was surprisingly sanctioned in a 2700m Class D across town on 23 January. Has had ample time to recalibrate and must be taken seriously
Ecurie Du Damier

4h1h2-h5h7
Would have finished in the money had he not briefly lost his action behind HETRE D'OURVILLE (6) in a 2850m Laval Class D a month back. Has won 2 of 4 Enghien starts and must not be overlooked

Ran a comfortable 2nd of 10 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D on 4 February. Goes well for Matthieu Abrivard and has the wherewithal to contest the finish. Chance

Respectable but never threatening 7th of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D early this month. In the frame in 2 of 3 here but looks more a minor place prospect this time around

Surprising 3rd of 10 in a 2950m Toulouse Class E a week ago. Pitted against considerably better this time and chances limited

Ran 2nd over 2925m before coming 4th of 13 in a 2100m Cagnes Class D a fortnight ago. Mathieu Mottier in the bike again and, in this company, should have the measure of most
D Guindon

10th of 14, on first start since the break, in a 2850m Laval Class D a fortnight ago. Barefoot this time but is not the biggest Enghien fan and others preferred
Ecurie Eric Letouze

2h6h0h7-h4
Gave a good account on last week's re-entry, coming 4th of 11 over course and distance. Well-entered, has never disappointed at Enghien, and will be competitive for a step on the podium
Mme V Abrivard

Did not enjoy the best of luck when 9th of 15 on comeback in a 2450m Caen Class D last week. Is plainly in shape though and can win this if kept out of trouble

Race Overview
Consistently-performant when barefoot and fit, the superbly-engaged IRIS DES ROSEAUX (11) makes his Enghien debut with every chance of making it a successful one. That said, Clement Duvaldestin will still want to keep a close eye on a barefoot ILLUSION D'AMOUR (5) who has been knocking at the door recently, and the tough IDEAL DE JEAN (8) who has given a good account of himself over recent months. Winner of his only Enghien race, INHERIT (2) has never failed to fire for Eric Raffin and must not be underestimated.
