Appears to have found his way in the ridden code, latterly runner-up to HOPIUM (3) in a 2875m Enghien Class C 2 weeks ago. Takes a notable step up in category however and is unlikely to cause an upset

4th of 8 in a 2825m Cordemais Class D 8 days ago. Faithful sort with decent 2850m credentials, races barefoot for the occasion, but at this level will have his work cut out

Excellent this term, most recently successful in a 2875m Enghien Class C 2 weeks ago. Aimed higher this time and although not a contender, can still eke out a cheque

Could manage no closer than 5th behind HOPIUM (3) in a 2700m Class C here on 12 April, after suffering interference, but form is sound and redemption should be on the cards. Chance

Springs the occasional surprise but latest sanction in 12 April race of reference does nothing to inspire confidence

Capable type that trotted 4th behind HOPIUM (3) in a 2700m Class C here on 12 April but will still need to raise his game

Powerful winner of a 3250m harness Gr.3 on 10 April. Plainly at the top of his game and can play an important role if form transitions

Tough element returning on a hat-trick, latterly clinching victory in a Gr.3 over course and distance a month back. Breaks in front and can bring the fight to EDITION GEMA (10)

Has not been seen out since trotting 4th to EDITION GEMA (10) in a 2175m Vincennes Gr.3 on 18 February. Is barefoot for re-entry but the extra 25m may limit him to a first-5 prospect this time

Superior winner of a 2700m Gr.2 here a fortnight ago. Incurs the penalty but still looks capable of getting her nose in front and pulling off the 5-timer

Race Overview
An absolute revelation since the turn of the year, the versatile EDITION GEMA (10) breaks from the 2nd line but still looks capable of besting recent Gr.3 Prix Cornelia winner IN LOVE DU CHOQUEL (8) who benefits from a 25m head-start. 3rd in Gr.2 Prix du Calvados over course and distance earlier in the year, HALFA (4) can play a key role here if Alan Gendrot manages to keep her in stride. Unseen under the saddle for almost 2 years, GRAAL DU TRESOR (7) was superb in a Lyon-La Soie harness Gr.3 last month and returns to the discipline with a good hand to play.
Selection:
10 - 8 - 4
