Qualified in 1'17'8 here in February but has yet to make good on her promise, most recently sanctioned in a 2425m Angers Class F on 23 March. It is only a question of time before she comes good though. Attention

Won first time out last summer before being put away. Unexceptional 7th of 16 in a 2800m Argentan Class E on re-entry mid-month. Unlikely to spring a surprise but, with Paul Ploquin reining, will be afforded every chance

Race Overview
After qualifying in 1'17'3 last autumn, it was no surprise to see LANCIER DU GOUTIER (13) impose first time out; she will have come on for the run and moves up in category with hind pads fitted and every chance of repeating. Also a winner first time out, LORD DELO (14) was sanctioned next time but can play a leading role if Romain Congard assures his initial strides. LIPTON DU NOYER (16) benefits from a good entry and, plainly in form, can make the frame this time, as can LITTLE BLACK MO (15) if David Thomain keeps him trotting.
