Failed to confirm his harness success when sanctioned in a 2625m Paray-le-Monial harness Class H 11 days ago and even though competitively-shod is unlikely to stir things up

Imposed at Saint-Brieuc before running 4th of 12 in a 3000m Nantes Class F on 18 February. Always gives his best but in this category is unlikely to cause an upset

Runner-up in 5 before coming 5th of 12 in a 2700m Class E at Lyon-La Soie late-February. Races barefoot this time and has a decent chance of finishing close

Secured the hat-trick in a 2850m Bagnoles-de-l'Orne Class H last August. In better company this time and would be preferred on turf

Unraced since dominating a 2625m Agen Class G on 22 January. Is shod to preference and, if still on the boil, can give JULLOU (15) a run for his money

Back in the discipline after coming last of 12 in a 2875m Enghien harness Class E mid-March. Has solid ridden credentials, appreciates Angers, and barefoot for the occasion, looks a player

Imposed under harness in Bordeaux prior to coming 2nd of 12 to IDOLE DE BEYLEV (11) in a 2625m Agen monte Class F 10 days ago. Is plainly close to her race and even in this company will have her chances

Sanctioned in a 2850m Maure Class F last week. Sports 4 pads for first time but others easier to recommend

Was expected to finish closer than 4th of 8 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class D a month ago. Won her previous 2 though and Paul Ploquin will be confident of a big run

Fine servant that comfortably won a 2625m Agen Class F 10 days ago. Takes on a better lot this time but is still competitive for a minor place payout

Back in a code he has little flair for after finishing 8th of 16 in a 2700m Machecoul harness amateurs Class G a month ago, and can be passed over

Has been in decent shape lately, most recently running 5th of 12, a place behind INTREPIDE NEMO (2), in a 3000m Nantes Class F on 18 February, but will struggle to make his mark this time

Imposed at Bihorel-les-Rouen before finishing 7th of 12 in a 2450m Caen Class F 3 weeks ago, and others easier to back

Switches codes after being sanctioned in a 2875m Meslay harness Class E a fortnight ago. Flew up on lone ridden appearance and even in the absence of Eric Raffin, can still win this

Race Overview
Winner of his only monte start, the complicated but well-engaged JULLOU (15) returns to the code following two harness sanctions and, with his mind on the game, can have his day in the sun. That being said, he will have to take on the tough IVANHOE DU CLOS (6) who, despite not having raced for over 2 months, still bids for the monte 6-timer. JUST IN LOVE (10) is a tough nut to crack when focused and with a better trip can contest the finish. JANTARA DESBOIS (8) has never imposed in this branch of the game but in current condition is very easy to like.
Selection:
15 - 6 - 10
