Handy sort that finished last of 11 when being conditioned in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E on 18 March. Pleased on lone Chartres start but on this occasion seems to have too much to do
Ecurie S Desmarres

Returns to winning ways mid-March when easily securing a Class E over course and distance. In tougher company this time but should not be entirely ruled out

Sanctioned in a Class F over track and trip on 16 March. Races barefoot this time but others easier to back

Hardy element that ran 2nd of 16 on re-entry in a 2850m Laval amateurs Class G a month back. Champion driver in the bike this time and must be considered a contender
Ecurie Christophe Mallet
F

Dh9h0-h5h9
Has 2 races under her belt, latterly 9th of 11 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class E 10 days ago. Shod to preference this time and is not incapable of making her presence felt

Unremarkable 7th of 16 in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche late last month and with shoes on this time is unlikely to influence the outcome
Ecurie Alain Laurent

12th of 14 in a 2825m Cordemais Class E a fortnight ago. Missed the break that day but enjoys a good entry and can play a leading role if Frederic Guinhut gets him off to a decent start

Last of 13 when being prepared for this in a 2700m Graignes amateurs Class G 10 days ago. Barefoot for the occasion, on front row, but others still preferred
Ludovic Touzaint

3rd of 16 in a 2875m Enghien Class E a month ago. Is plainly close to winning another and racing barefoot may be just the ticket
Mme Patricia Lemonnier

Quality individual that ran 4th of 12, on return to competition, in a 2850m Vincennes E 9 days ago. Incurs the handicap but will have progressed for the run and may yet prove the main danger
Ecurie Vautors

Excellent servant here for reasons of conditioning after running 11th of 13 in a 2450m Caen Class E late last month and best to hold off

Has not been seen out since running 6th of 11 in a 2100m Vincennes Class B on 23 January. Shoes on and poses no danger

Tough mare making first start since finishing a surprising last but one in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 16 February. Has been freshly-reconfigured and should not be ruled out
Mme D Mottier

Won an Enghien amateurs before running 2nd of 16 in a 2800m Argentan Class E 3.5 weeks ago. Unlikely to win this from the 2nd line but sports a new formula and is still competitive for a first-5 cheque
J W Reugebrink

Serious trotter making first start since winning a 2850m Vincennes Class C mid-January. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be passed over

Race Overview
Wonderfully-entered on the front row and currently in fine form, JIM D'ALOUETTE (9) races barefoot for the first time, at a track he will appreciate, and should be able to wrap this up. Even though 25m worse off, IERMES DE GUEZ (10) reassured in good company at Vincennes and, similarly-shod, will be no pushover. Runner-up in an amateur event on comeback, IBIZA DE CONNEE (4) breaks in front this time, runs barefoot, and is reunited with Eric Raffin. JAHINA VITA (7) raced better at Cordemais than the result would suggest and, proven at Chartres, must be retained.
