Lost her action on re-entry in a 2850m Lyon-Parilly Class D on 1 April. Will have benefitted for the race and will have a lot to contribute if she shows her real self

Never at his ease when 7th of 8 finishers in a Class E over course and distance on 25 March. Enjoys a good draw though and could yet get in on the action
Mme Brigitte Gautier

1h2h5h5-hD
Sanctioned on comeback in a 2475m Royan Class E on 6 April. Will have progressed for the run though, is shod as she was here in October, and will be expected to contest the finish

7th of 12, on return to competition, in a 2900m Amiens Class E 10 days ago. Breaks in front here but still has too much to find

Dominated a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class E on 21 March. Is new to Enghien but is clearly at the top of his game and can repeat
Mlle Axelle Tugend

Unraced since coming 2nd of 15 in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-February. Should take well to Enghien conditions and can play a leading role
Anthony Dollion

Last but one, on return to competition, in a 2825m Cordemais Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Failed to fire on lone start here but is competitively-shod this time and will be expected to play an active role

Last of 12, on re-entry, in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle on 6 April. Has other plans and can be ruled out
Ecurie Luck

Sanctioned in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F on 6 April, his first start since September. Sports a fresh configuration for the occasion and, despite the draw, will generate interest

In the frame in 3 of last 4, most recently runner-up to KARAMEL TENDRE (16) in a 2450m Caen Class F 3 weeks ago. Would have preferred a better draw but is barefoot this time and could pleasantly surprise
G Castel

Sanctioned in 2 before running 9th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E last week. Goes barefoot this time but still not an obvious choice
F Roussel
G

2-h8h3h1hD
Produced a pair of good efforts before being sanctioned in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class F 2 weeks ago. Handed a 2nd row number and in this company is unlikely to trouble the judge
Mme Emma Souloy

8-h9h0h5h9
Soundly-beaten last of 9 in a 2650m Laval Class E early last month. Is confirmed at the venue but still seems out of her depth
Ecurie M Bezier

2h2h6h6h2h7
Useful mare but has not been seen out since running 7th of 12 in a 2150m Cagnes Class D last July, and will need the race
J Semaille
G

D-h9h2h1hD
Failed to confirm Caen success when sanctioned in a 2475m Royan Class E on 6 April. Returns to a hard surface, runs with pads, but the draw will do him no favours

Race Overview
A tough nut to crack when barefoot and focused, KOOL DU CHATELET (6) steamed up in Marseille last month and has a realistic chance of making her debut in the capital a winning one. He will still come under pressure from the reconfigured KAHIRA DES MARES (4) who ran close here last autumn and who is better-positioned behind the car. KLARCK DE VANDEL (8) may be forced to break wide but he is hard to knock in the day's configuration and looks a player. Starting just to his inside, KEOPS DES HAUBOIS (7) makes his first appearance for 2 months but is proven when fresh and must not be underestimated.
Selection:
6 - 4 - 8
