Won a 2825m monte Class F at Le Croise-Laroche a month ago, on return to competition. Is back under harness however and faces a stiff test this time around

Complicated type making first appearance since being sanctioned in a 2200m Vincennes Class E last November. Hind shoes off for first time though and will be worth monitoring
Ecurie Eric Lemaitre

Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2825m Cordemais Class E last weekend. Has bags of ability though and will not be far off the mark if his trainer manages to keep him focused

Has not been seen out since running 4th of 14 in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche last November. Is confirmed here, and sports front pads, but will need the race

Sanctioned as often as not, most recently in a 2600m Nancy Class F last weekend. Hard to fault when focused though and should not be ruled out

Imposed at Nantes before running 2nd of 12 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class F a month ago. Yet to disappoint for the day's driver and has a legitimate claim on the silverware

Encouraging 4th of 9 finishers in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 2 weeks ago but a repeat seems improbable
Ch Nicole

Starts for first time since losing his action in a 2100m Vincennes Class D on 12 February. Is shod for re-entry and best to hold off

Returns to France after running 4th of 10 over 2300m at Mons on Tuesday and backs up with a realistic chance of finishing close

3rd of 16 in a 2850m Laval Class E 3.5 weeks ago. Ran 2nd to LE CONQUERANT (7) at Nantes but races on level terms this time and will be no easy touch

8th of 9 finishers behind L'ALPHA DE LAUNI (8) in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on re-entry 2 weeks ago. Goes barefoot this time but others still easier to recommend

5th of 9 finishers, a place behind L'ALPHA DE LAUNI (8), in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on re-entry 2 weeks ago. Unlikely to have his day in the sun but is well-entered and Florian Desmigneux will fancy his chances of making first 5
Mlle Stephanie Grisez

3h0-h5h2h3
Ran 2nd at Mauquenchy before coming 3rd of 9 in a 2550m Reims Class E mid-March. Should take well to the new profile and will be expected to challenge for a spot on the podium

Race Overview
Barring February's Vincennes blip, LE CONQUERANT (7) has not put a foot out of place and, racing barefoot on his debut at the venue, will have every chance of winning this. Benjamin Rochard will still want to be wary of the handy LISTEL D'URZY (11) who has been acquitting himself particularly well of late, and L'AS DES AS (10) who races first-time barefoot with Jean-Francois Senet in the bike. Yet to disappoint in his current configuration, LOHENGRIN (14) benefits from a superb engagement and Franck Ouvrie will be eager to make hay.
Selection:
7 - 11 - 10
