11th of 13 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class E 2 weeks ago. Dependability not her strong suit but has secured 5 from 11 under the saddle and, with application, can win this from the front line

Makes her first appearance since coming 9th to ICAMORA DE HOUELLE (9) in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 23 December. Competitively-shod but others still preferred

Pleasant 5th of 11 in a 2600m Nancy Class G, on re-entry, late last month. Will have come on for the run but is being asked to do too much this time and chances limited

Has demonstrated good aptitude for the discipline, most recently opening her account in a 2450m Castillonnas Class G on 1 March. Well-placed on the front line and should give another competitive account

Regularly in the thick of things under the saddle, latterly 4th of 8 in a 3125m Angers Class F last week. Forced to start on the back row this time though and others easier to back

Faulted when well-backed in a 3125m Angers Class F a week ago. Has been a case of all-or-sanctioned since late last season but is still worth retaining

Drops back in class after coming 7th of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class B earlier this month. Not as sharp as she was last season and represents no more than a minor place prospect

Has been knocking at the door lately, most recently close 2nd in a 3150m Saint-Brieuc Class F on 26 March. Gives away 25m but is still expected to figure prominently at the business end of the race

Facile winner of a 2700m Vincennes harness Class C on 23 March. Incurs the penalty but has references at a superior level and still has claims on the prize

Race Overview
A spate of sanctions has led to IRINA DU RIS (1) coming here well-behind in earnings and she can wrap this up if Lilian Bertin manages to keep her trotting. She will still encounter resistance from recent Vincennes winner, ICAMORA DE HOUELLE (9), even though Franck Leblanc's mare has 25m more to travel, and the in-form HELLO JADE RUSH (8) who is plainly close to her race. HISTOIRE DE JAVA (4) is well-engaged in front and legitimately vies to confirm her early-April victory.
