Sanctioned in last 5, latterly a 2875m Enghien Class D 10 days ago, and can expect to have few takers

Returns to the code after finishing 9th of 10 in a 2875m Enghien harness Class E 10 days ago, but already looks out of her depth

4th of 6 finishers in a 2875m Enghien Class E early last month. Has solid monte references but may be taking on too much this time

Runner-up in 3 of last 4, all under harness, most recently a 2150m Argentan Class E on 19 March. Has good speed which will do her chances no disservice. Place chance

Sanctioned, on return to competition, in a 2575m Agen harness Class E mid-March. Has yet to disappoint in this branch of the game and is not about to start now. Chance

Given time to recalibrate after running 6th of 7 finishers in a 2700m Class D here on 17 February. In the thick of things for the most part and represents a respectable first-5 prospect

Last but one when preparing for this in a 2875m Argentan harness Class D on 19 March. Benjamin Rochard back in the saddle and can wrap this up if he keeps her action together

Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2700m Class D here on 17 February. Tends to prefer the main track but is no slouch and must be worth retaining
J G Van Eeckhaute

Back under the saddle after finishing 7th of 8 in a 2600m Saint-Galmier harness Class D a month ago and is unlikely to trouble the judge
R Jean

Won under harness here before faulting in a 2875m Enghien harness Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Well-engaged for monte debut and with application is unlikely to disappoint

Race Overview
A winner over the main track on her monte debut on Christmas Day, LUTECIA ELLIS (5) could well have doubled up in February had she not faulted close to home, but after a change of scenery at Argentan, she is barefoot for her short-course debut and has the class to win this. LOUISIANE LEMAN (4) debuts under the saddle with Eric Raffin in the irons and her candidature must be taken at face value. A winner over the main track before faulting across town, a reconfigured LACIENDA FLASH (10) enjoys a good entry here and debuts in the discipline with a decent hand to play.
