Won 3 of last 4, most recently in style over 3125 in an Angers Class F a fortnight back. Is shod to preference and can strike again

6th of 14 in a 2750m Toulouse harness Class E 2 weeks. Debuts in the discipline and may just be the joker in the pack here. Attention

Ultra-consistent trotter making his first appearance since coming 6th of 7 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C mid-December. Is, however, unlikely to be given a hard race

Made no impact when 8th of 11 in a 2875m Enghien Class C last Saturday. Has merit but races shod this time and others easier to back

Returns to the monte code after trotting 7th of 11 in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie harness Class D a fortnight ago. Boasts a 50% monte win-rate but, on this occasion, will struggle to make his mark

2nd, on re-entry, in a 2700m Vincennes Class C 2 months ago, picking up where she left off. Comes here fresh and, returning to her preferred barefoot status, can deny IMPALA DE VAL (2) victory

Produced a good return run before coming 7th in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E when prepping for this earlier in the month, and will need to be considerably sharper

Handy Danish sort that came 5th of 16 in a 2700m Vincennes harness Class C on 13 April. Makes just 2nd appearance under the saddle but with Paul Ploquin in the irons will be afforded every chance. First-5 prospect

Has turned a corner lately, winning 2 of last 4, most recently a 2700m Vincennes Class E in good order. Has references at this level and looks a solid place prospect

Quickly sanctioned in a 3125m Angers Class D 3 weeks ago. Has nothing to prove at this level though, is already a winner with Raffin reining, and is not one to be underestimated

Race Overview
Barring his January sanction, IMPALA DE VAL (2) has been acquitting himself superbly for the past 4.5 months and is once again competitive for the win, however he will have to take on the highly-consistent HANSKA (7) who is barefoot for her first start late-February. GALLAGHER WIND (10) flew up at Vincennes last time out and legitimately bids for the double, while the temperamental BEAT GENERATION (11) is never far from causing an upset.
