Serious sort that missed out by the smallest of margins in a 2700m Class A here on 23 February. Is patently close to winning another and can bring the fight to GAZELLE DE VAL (3)

Currently in good shape, latterly 4th of 14 in a 2875m Enghien Class B 2.5 weeks ago. Has earned the right to take his chances in this class, has already won 5 times for his jockey, but may have to settle for a smaller cheque this time
J Et Thuet

8th of 16 when preparing for this in a 2850m Laval harness Class A 3.5 weeks ago. Has shown the classy side of himself over recent months and on talent alone can make this her own
E Lambertz

7th of 10 in 2850m Gr.1 Prix Henri Desmontils on 1 March. Drops down the class-ladder but still looks to have too much to do
Ecurie Stephane Levoy
G

4th of 9 behind IMPALA DE VAL (1) in a 2700m Class A here on 23 February. Has 2 runs under his belt but nevertheless faces a stiff test
D Lecroq
G

1m9hDm3mDhD
Tricky but talented sort that faulted when preparing for this in a 2850m Laval harness Class A on 12 March. Is a different kettle of fish under the saddle and, shod to preference, will be no easy touch if applied

Ran 5th behind IMPALA DE VAL (1) here late-February before being sanctioned in a 2850m Laval harness conditioner 3.5 weeks ago. Competitively-shod this time and, with application, can get a look-in
Mme Marie-noelle Lusseau
G

Dm2m5m4m6hD
Serious veteran that was sanctioned in a 2625m Agen harness Class A when preparing for this a month back. Has not won since last summer but is here on his merits and must be taken seriously
B Goetz

7th of 8 in a 2175m Gr.3 here on 16 February. Front shoes off this time but current form does little to inspire confidence
Ecurie Danover

Back under the saddle after running 6th of 9 in a 2700m Harness Gr.3 here early last month. Ran 3rd in a Gr.2 last time in the code and should again acquit himself competitively
Ecurie Bruneau

Could manage only 8th of 11 in a harness Gr.3 over course and distance 2 weeks ago and appears to need another run

Race Overview
Fifth in the Gr.1 Prix de Cornulier before oddly disappointing in the Gr.1 Prix de l'Ile-de-France a fortnight later, GAZELLE DE VAL (3) was given a change of scenery under harness at Laval and returns barefoot to the ridden code with every chance of imposing. Mathieu Mottier will still be keeping a watchful eye on IMPALA DE VAL (1) who is very hard to fault when barefoot under the saddle, and EXTREME DESBOIS (8) who is considerably better than recent numbers would suggest. HANNIBAL TUILERIE (10) has started to show some monte potential and should have the wherewithal to play a prominent role.
