Complicated sort that was sanctioned in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E 3 weeks ago and has no realistic chance

4th of 9 finishers to KERGRIST (10) in a 2700m Machecoul Class F on 2 March. Is not about to cause an upset but can still hold her own

Takes first competitive monte steps after running 10th of 16 in a 2875m Meslay harness Class F mid-month. Benjamin Rochard aboard but others still easier to like

Complicated sort making first appearance since running 9th of 18 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 12 November and going shod will do her no favours
Y Dreux

Has not been seen out since being pulled-up in a 2700m Vincennes Class E mid-November. Unshod behind this time and, if fit, will be competitive for a spot in the mix

9th of 11 in a 2700m Graignes Class F last weekend. Reliability not his strong suit but will be no easy touch if he runs to his mark

Last but one behind KIKOU DE FAY (6) in a 2700m Graignes Class F last weekend and is not about to buck the trend

Sanctioned when unsupported in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class E last Tuesday. Front shoes off this time but still not an obvious choice

Made it 6 straight sanctions when faulting in a 2925m Cagnes harness Class E on 4 March. Debuts for new trainer though and can make a big splash if Mathieu Mottier keeps him focused
Ph Savinel

Has found his feet under the saddle since the turn of the year, latterly securing a 2875m Argentan Class E 10 days ago. Shoes back on but is nevertheless very hard to ignore. Place chance
Loic Groussard

Made short work of a 2900m Challans Class F on 9 March. Steps up in category but with Eric Raffin back in the saddle will have a realistic chance of pulling off the double
B Carpentier

Has returned to the code in top shape, most recently running 3rd of 10 in a 2450m Caen Class F 12 days ago. Has never let the side down here and is not about to start. Claim

Race Overview
Thoroughly capable in this branch of the business, and ideally-entered here, KOME ON ERCA (12) seems close to his race and, barefoot for the occasion, looks the one to beat. Clement Frecelle will still want to be wary of recent Challans winner KANSAS DU HOCTI (11) who imposed for Eric Raffin that day, and KERGRIST (10) who showed great tenacity to win at Argentan recently. KENT CLARK (9) debuts under the saddle, sporting a new configuration, with Mathieu Mottier in the irons, and looks a potential spoiler.
Selection:
12 - 11 - 10
