Unraced since running 5th of 13 behind INVICTUS MADIBA (6) in a 2100m Gr.3 here on 26 January. Front pads fitted this time but not a concern

Sanctioned early in a 2950m Toulouse Class C a fortnight ago. Has talent to burn but reserves it for the monte code

Would have finished in the Prix d'Amerique money had she kept trotting, before finishing last but one in 4150m Gr.1 Prix de Paris here on 23 February. Comes here fresh, sporting a new configuration, and can play a leading role

5th of 13 in a 2525m Cavaillon Class B on 8 April. Already a Gr.3 winner this year but even racing barefoot still seems to have his work cut out

Mixes the good with the less good but ran a reassuring 3rd of 12 in a 2100m Class B here last Saturday. Is proven under these conditions and has a decent chance of finishing in the mix

Regularly in the thick of things when focused, most recently second of 13 to HULYSSE DIGEO (12) in a 2700m Class B here on 22 March. Unlikely to repeat but can still pick up some prizemoney

4th of 9 in a 2700m Gr.3 here on 1 March, on first start for just over 2 months. Boasts solid form in better company and, particularly fond of these conditions, looks the one to beat

Ran 6th at Amiens but failed to confirm when 11th of 16 in a 3500m Tours Class A last weekend. JMB in the bike though and will have his supporters

Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in 2700m monte Gr.1 Prix de Cornulier 3 months ago. Shoes on and no threat

Won a 2700m Class B here before running 6th of 15 in a 3000m Salon-de-Provence Gr.3 late last month. Goes notably well for Benjamin Rochard though and must be afforded respect

Won a Class A over course and distance before repeating in a 2700m Class B on 22 March. Exceptional since last autumn and has every chance of finishing close

Unseen since thrashing the opposition in a 2925m Cagnes Class B on 22 January. Has never excelled under these conditions but does not travel to Paris to see the sights. Place chance

Race Overview
Sent for a break after a fine Prix Tenor de Baune performance, JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (7) left a good impression in her comeback run and looks a marginally better bet than the usually-dependable IROISE DE LA NOE (3) who sports pads for her return from a short spell. Winner of 3 from 4 this year, HULYSSE DIGEO (12) returns to racing shod, enjoys a decent entry, and will be no easy touch. HAPPY DANICA (13) has not been seen out since imposing on the Riviera 3 months ago but is shod to preference and it would be no surprise to see her in the mix at the business end of the race.
Selection:
7 - 3 - 12
