Oddly disappointing 11th of 15 in a 2100m Class D here on 26 February but has otherwise been in decent shape. Is not about to win this but is still good enough to make first 5

Sanctioned, on first start since his spell, in a 2850m Laval Class D 3 weeks ago. Stays shod and best to wait

3rd of 14, at 173/1, in a 2850m Laval Class D on 6 March but a repeat seems most improbable

Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2775m Craon monte Class D last September and can be confidently disregarded

Fast-finishing 4th of 15, on comeback, in a 2150m Enghien Class C on 14 March. The run will have done her good and Matthieu Abrivard is an excellent replacement for his cousin. Place chance

12th of 15 behind HEMMA DE BRIKVIL (5) in a 2150m Enghien Class C, on return to racing, 2 weeks ago. Boasts solid references under these conditions and is unlikely to be too far off the mark

Has not been seen out since finishing last but one behind TOTO BAROSSO (14) in a 2850m Class C here late-November. Was in need of a break and with just pads fitted this time is unlikely to spring any surprises
E Pierre

6th of 11 finishers in a 2850m monte Class C here on 21 January. Never closer than 4th in as many starts over course and distance and will have few takers

Defied his 217/1 price to finish 7th of 14 in a 2200m Caen Class D a fortnight ago but is unlikely to improve on that

Failed to confirm Le Croise-Laroche performance when 10th of 12 finishers behind FANFARONNEUR (9) in a 2200m Caen Class D on 13 March and can be ruled out

A performant model of consistency that made short work of a Class C over course and distance early this month. Excels over 2700m here and will take all the beating

Makes another trip to Vincennes after having run 3rd of 11 in a Class B over 2700m here mid-February. Comes here fresh and looks the only real prospect capable of bringing the fight to COBRA KILLER GAR (11)

8th of 14, a place behind FANFARONNEUR (9), in a 2200m Caen Class D a fortnight ago. Has never produced the goods over 2700m here and is not about to start

Ran 3rd over 2100m here before just missing out for victory in a 2825m Class D at Le Croise-Laroche 3 weeks ago. Has never delivered over the day's distance but in current form is very easy to like

Not as sharp as he was just before the turn of the year, most recently 8th of 11 behind ISTER MAN (12) in a Class B over track and trip mid-February. Enjoys an excellent entry though and must not be ruled out

Race Overview
Simply remarkable for the past 13 months, COBRA KILLER GAR (11) has been beaten only once under these conditions and the nature of his latest victory augurs well for a repeat. Leading the opposition, ISTER MAN (12) drops down the category-ladder in fine form and does not make the long trip to Vincennes other than to win this. TOTO BAROSSO (14) has done nothing but improve recently and is reunited with JMB who knows him well. HEMMA DE BRIKVIL (5) gave a good account of herself on re-entry 2 weeks ago and will have come on for the race. Unplaced on her own comeback that day, GIVE ME (6) returns to conditions he appreciates and will be barefoot for the occasion.
Selection:
11 - 12 - 14
