Unexceptional sort that ran 7th of 9 in a 2800m Chartres Class F on comeback late last month and can be confidently disregarded

Complicated type making first appearance since being pulled up in a 2750m Cabourg Class E last July. Hind shoes off, but still not a concern

Disappointing in both starts since the break, most recently sanctioned in a 2950m Toulouse Class F on 4 April, and can expect to have few takers

7th of 10 finishers in a 3125m Angers Class E last week and will need to find considerably more

4th of 11, a place behind KORFOU LEMAN (8), in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 23 March. Is plainly in rude health and even in this company can give this a good go. First 5

6th of 8 finishers, on return to competition, in a 2200m Vincennes Class D last week. Faces a less exalted lot here and on good behaviour will be competitive for a place in the frame

Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2250m Enghien Class D last August. Reliability not her strong suit but has ample ability and will be no soft touch with Mathieu Mottier in the saddle

3rd of 11 on re-entry in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 23 March. Is useful when focused but a repeat seems unlikely

Has 2 runs in him after having missed all of 2024, most recently sanctioned in a 2850m Maure harness Class F 3 weeks ago. Won 2 of last 3 under the saddle and returns to the code with a good hand to play

Produced a brace of good runs before faulting in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 3 April. Adrien Lamy reining this time and can get straight back in the game. Claim

Encouraging 4th of 17 in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise Laroche late last month. Should take well to Pontchateau profile and the entry will only enhance her prospects

Race Overview
Never far from the hostilities when she can keep her action together, LITTLELOU MATIDY (10) enjoys an excellent entry here and makes her Pontchateau debut with a decent chance of making it a winning one. Even better-engaged at the limit of earnings, KAWASAKI ERA (11) gave a reassuring account at Le Croise-Laroche and is unlikely to go down easily. KONTIO DE LOU (9) has 2 runs under his belt following a lengthy hiatus and being entrusted to Benjamin Rochard may be just the ticket to his racing absolution. Back in the provinces after a much-needed conditioner, LYNX D'URZY (6) will not be far off the mark if he stays focused.
