Lost his action, finishing 9th of 16 behind DOWNTOWN AS (2) in a 2150m Enghien Class D in early-March. Has been afforded time to recover and it is only a question of 'when' he comes good

7th of 16, on return to competition, in a 2150m Enghien Class D early last month. Will have progressed for the run but is still not easy to recommend

Has yet to make his mark here, most recently last of 9 behind JOLICOEUR (10) in a Class C over course and distance on 21 March. Is undeniably capable but latest numbers do little to inspire confidence

Sanctioned in 2 this term, most recently a 2625m Agen Class E on 23 March. Is barefoot with Franck Nivard reining and although not a priority is still worth keeping an eye on

8th of 9 behind JOLICOEUR (10) in a Class C over course and distance on 21 March. Races barefoot this time though, is confirmed at Vincennes, and will generate some interest

Opened his French account when convincingly winning a 2850m Class C here 3 weeks ago. Appears to be back on the right road and is not to be underestimated

3rd of 16, a place behind JOLICOEUR (10), in a 2100m Class C here a fortnight ago. Again unlikely to beat him but can still challenge for a place on the podium

Sanctioned when going well in a 2525m Cavaillon Class D 10 days ago. Form is not in question but still seems to be taking on too much

Pleasantly surprising 4th of 16 behind JOLICOEUR (10) in a 2100m Class C here a fortnight ago. A repeat however seems improbable

Has gone from strength to strength recently, latterly 2nd of 16 in a 2100m Class C here a fortnight ago. Is due a win soon and with his handler back in the bike can oblige

Quickly sanctioned in a 2550m Reims Class E on 9 April. Won over the main track earlier in the year and can make a big impact if Francois Lagadeuc gets him off on the right foot

Back in the capital after comfortably winning a 2550m Reims Class E last week. Is patently at the top of his game and can give JOLICOEUR (10) a run for his money

Race Overview
Solid as a rock since moving to Mathieu Mottier's yard, JOLICOEUR (10) has come close more than once recently and his liking for 2700m can make all the difference this time. As versatile as they get and recently victorious at Reims, the well-engaged OSCAR VAN HALBEEK (13) looks the principal danger, although a focused CAMERON (12) will be no pushover. HASHTAG SIMONI (7) has been knocking at the door here this year and is not about to disappoint.
