Winner here last year but sanctioned in both this term, latterly a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class D mid-April, and can be passed over

Yet to put a foot out of line, latterly 3rd in a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class D 2 weeks ago, and is well-placed to give this a good go. Place chance

Won on debut but less-performant since, most recently 5th of 11 in a 2525m Cavaillon Class E 3 weeks ago and, in this company is unlikely to set off any fireworks

Sanctioned, on his first start since the break, in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class D late-March when clearly in shape, having shown significant potential last season. On good behaviour, the race should be his for the taking

A place behind LINAS (6) at Borely before faulting, when on course for victory, in a 2325m Toulouse Class B on 12 April, and can put things right if Steve Stefano keeps him trotting

Defied his 17/1 to come 2nd in a 2300m Class D at Marseille-Borely late-March and in similar form can give LANAKEN (4) something to think about

Got off the mark in a Class F over course and distance a month ago. In better company though, is not ideally-drawn, and looks more a minor place chance on this occasion

Sanctioned in first 2 before a reassuring 2nd in a 2050m Class F here mid-March. Unseen since, is pitted against some very good horses, but with front pads fitted could eke out a cheque

7th of 9 in a 2650m Class F at L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue last Saturday and backs up with little to no chance

Race Overview
Absolutely not to be condemned for his re-entry sanction, LANAKEN (4) is a progressive colt with a good spot behind the car and, with application, can impose. Dylan Garcia will nevertheless be keeping a keen eye on LINAS (6) who was beaten only by a very good horse last time out, and a padded LAUTREC TURGOT (5) who finished a place behind him that day. LADY LONDON (2) produced a good effort against the boys a fortnight ago and the draw will do her prospects no harm.
Selection:
4 - 6 - 5
