Last of 12 in a 2850m Laval amateurs Class G late-March and can expect to have few friends

Sanctioned in a 3125m Angers Class E on 23 March. Has decent references here, is plainly in form, and must be taken seriously

3rd in a Mauquenchy amateurs before finishing 13th of 16 in a 2150m Class F at the same venue a fortnight ago. Is not a top contender but is well-positioned behind the car and should not be ruled out
A Ripoll Rigo

Drops back in category after coming 9th of 18 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E late-February. Well-placed in front but has just front pads fitted and can be passed over

Good, consistent campaigner that won a similar event at Vincennes over 2100m, with authority, on 9 April. Is new to Enghien but should appreciate the profile and can apply the pressure on IQUITO PLANCHETTE (6)
Ec Julienne

Unopposed winner of a 2150m Argentan amateurs Class G last Monday and is in with a realistic shout of doubling his money

10th of 16 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D on 22 March. Is considerably better than that and, from the front line, can play a leading role
Ecurie Th Roussel

11th of 16 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E on turf 11 days ago. Has proven form in superior company, is sent out unshod-behind, but still not an obvious choice

Well-beaten 7th to HEMILIO PIERJI (5) in a 2100m Vincennes amateurs Class F 9 days ago. Not ideally-drawn and chances slim
E Puniere

Preparing for this when 6th of 15 in a 2750m Elbeuf Class F on 7 April. Superb campaigner in the amateur division, goes unshod-behind, and can pick up a cheque if Sebastien Dewulf positions him early
Sebastien Dewulf

Won a 2400m Amiens amateurs Class G 12 days ago on first start for 6 months. Will have no issue returning to racing left-handed and, despite the 2nd line draw, should still acquit herself honourably

Race Overview
After producing some fine performance already this year, IQUITO PLANCHETTE (6) backs up after winning at Argentan on Monday and, if still on the boil, can repeat. That said, HEMILIO PIERJI (5) has barely put a foot out of place all year and, from the 5-spot, can make a big splash. In the frame in his last 2 here, IN EN VRIE (7) receives a Michel Poirier drive for the occasion and is unlikely to disappoint. IROMEE (2) has previously won over course and distance and, barefoot this time, can take advantage of the good draw and go close.
