Ran 2nd over course and distance before faulting when going well in a 2825m Chartres Class E a month back. Takes on a better lot this time but still has the wherewithal to get in on the action

Surprise 3rd of 16 in a 2825m Chartres Class E a month back. 6th on lone start here but is no slouch and from the front line can get a look-in

Failed to confirm Croise-Laroche performance when last but one in a 2450m Caen Class F on 17 March. Starts in front but others still easier to trust

h3h3h0h5h2-h1
Got straight down to business on re-entry, winning a 2625m Class F at La Rochelle on 9 March. Comes here fresh and with Alexis Collette in the bike must be taken seriously

Serious mare but has not been seen out since running 5th of 13 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D last November, and with shoes on will have nothing to contribute

Showed her form after being sanctioned in a 2450m Caen Class F a month ago. Enjoys a front row start and will be no pushover if she stays in stride

Pleasantly-surprising 3rd of 13 in a 2900m Challans Class F on 23 March but a repeat seems most improbable

10th of 16 when preparing for this in a 2825m Cordemais Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Well-in on front row and will have her chances if she takes to the new conditions

Steps up in category after running 4th of 9 finishers in a 2700m Meral Class H 10 days ago and quite simply has too much to do

10th of 12, on comeback, in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 23 March, and in present shape is not easy to like

Not the horse she was in first half of 2024, latterly sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class C 11 days ago, and with shoes on can be ruled out
Ecurie Daniel Delaroche

Sanctioned in both since her extended layoff, most recently a 2800m Rambouillet monte Class F on 30 March, and must get her house in order

h2h2h1-h8h2h1
Took her game to a new level over the winter, most recently winning a 2675m Lisieux Class F mid-March. Should take well to Pontchateau conditions and will be expected to apply the pressure on JUNGLE GREEN (15)
Mme R Popot

Fluffed the start at Angers, losing her action in a 2350m Class E a fortnight ago, but form is not in question and on good behaviour can finish in the mix
J Dubreil

h4h4h4-h5h6h6
Hardy element that ran 6th of 14 in a 2350m Angers Class E a fortnight ago. Is in her category, enjoys an excellent entry, and can open her 2025 account

Race Overview
Wonderfully-entered at the limit of earnings, JUNGLE GREEN (15) returns to racing left-handed after three respectable efforts going clockwise, and with Olivier Raffin reining looks the pick of the field. She will still come under pressure from JOCELYNE (13) who is simply dynamic in her current configuration, and the tricky JEUNE ORANGE COTON (6) who sports a new formula for a front-row break. Barefoot from the front line, JOSEPHA MESLOISE (8) will be reined by Benjamin Rochard for the occasion and is unlikely to be far off the mark.
