Sanctioned in a 2850m harness claimer here 3 weeks ago. Has never demonstrated any particular flair for the monte game and represents no more than a minor place prospect

Modest individual that came 7th of 11 in a 2825m Lignieres Class F 2 weeks ago and looks thoroughly outclassed

Switches back to the monte discipline after flopping in a 2825m Lignieres harness Class F mid-month. Has previously placed under the saddle here but others still preferred

Last but one in a 2600m harness Class F here mid-month. Unseen under the saddle since July 2022 but has solid references and, just front shoes off this time, can get straight back in the game

Returns to the monte code after coming 10th of 11 in a 2825m Lignieres harness Class F 2 weeks ago. Has previously won under these conditions and starting in front will only work in his favour

Tricky character that finished a reassuring 3rd of 9 in a 2100m Class E here on 31 March and will be expected to figure prominently at the business end of the race

Sanctioned in a 2400m Marseille-Borely Class E 11 days ago. Should not be too hastily judged though and can put things right if she stays in stride

2nd in a 2650m Alencon amateurs harness Class G last weekend. Is unbeaten in 2 monte starts when barefoot and is going to take all the beating

Race Overview
It seems to be all about the three horses on the back line, with HOLD UP PECE (8) very easy to like, seeing how well she has raced since moving to Charley Mottier's yard. INOUIE DOMPIERRE (7) is never far from faulting but she has previously won under the saddle here and should prove the main threat, provided of course that Mathis Laffay can keep her trotting. Similarly temperamental, JOYAU DE SOYORA (6) nevertheless seems to be on the way back up, and the same caveat applies. IGLESIA (4) is 25m better off, returns to a discipline in which she has decent credentials, and sports a modified configuration.
