Failed to pull off the 6-timer when faulting in a 2850m Maure Class E 10 days ago. Should not be hastily-judged and a return to the winners' circle would be no surprise

5th of 10 to KOPECK DE CHENU (9) in a 2875m Enghien Class D 3 weeks ago. Always gives his best but that is unlikely to be enough this time

Makes ridden bow after running 9th of 16 on comeback in a 2875m Enghien harness Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Sports modified shoeing but still looks out of her depth

Opened his monte account here before running 10th of 16 in a 2700m harness Class D conditioner here a week ago. Shod as he was late-February and although untried over the inner course, can still play an active role

2nd of 13, on monte debut, in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 16 March. Will have come on for the run and considering his ability under harness, can expect to finish in the mix

Quickly sanctioned in a 2450m Caen Class D a month back, after having twice come 2nd over main track. Reverts to that formula and even though in better company should not be written off

4th at Enghien before coming 2nd of 4 finishers in a 2850m Class D here a week ago. Won only start under these conditions but faces the boys this time and chances limited

Runner-up to KOPECK DE CHENU (9) in a 2875m Enghien Class D 3 weeks ago. Races barefoot this time though and will be challenging for the win this time

Imposed at Enghien on monte debut 3 weeks ago before coming last of 9 when being prepped in a 2200m Salon-de-Provence harness Class C 12 days later. Gets a chance to prove himself and will not be available at 67/1 this time

Last but one behind KALINA PRINCESS (11) on comeback in a 2150m Enghien harness Class C 3 weeks ago. Barefoot this time but can be ruled out nevertheless

Good servant that ran 11th of 15 on re-entry in a 2150m Enghien harness Class C 3 weeks ago. Has taken particularly well to the code and over this less-demanding course can impose

Returns to Vincennes after coming 3rd of 14 in a 2450m Caen Class D a month ago. Is not the easiest to manage but can trot when focused and will justifiably generate interest

Unraced since finishing last of 12 in a 2850m Class C here on 18 January. Sports pads for re-entry but still not a concern

Has not been seen out since running 2nd of 14 in a 2700m Class D here late-January. Should appreciate the inner course and is not incapable of picking up a cheque

Race Overview
Most impressive late last year when introduced to the monte discipline, KALINA PRINCESS (11) returns to the code after a harness conditioner across town and, barefoot this time, looks the one to beat. She will still be taking on the in-form and barefoot KALIMERO JASMA (8) who is plainly close to his race, and KING DU RIL (1) who will be expected to bounce back from his Maure-de-Bretagne sanction. Shod as he was when victorious on his ridden bow mid-March, KOPECK DE CHENU (9) looks a player.
