Unbeaten in 3 last season. 6th to KOALA DES ARCS (16) on re-entry though, in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-March, and may be a race shy

Reliability not his strong suit and latterly caused a 20/1 upset by winning a 2200m Class E here 8 days ago. Unlikely to repeat but can still get in on the action

Tricky but capable colt making his first appearance since coming 6th of 12 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D early-November. Hind shoes off for first time though and will be worth monitoring

Lightly-raced, and unbeaten colt, starting for the first time since winning a 2150m Enghien Class D last August. Competitively-shod for re-entry and looks the horse to beat

Opened his account mid-March in a 2850m Laval Class E when unshod-in-front for the first time. Similar configuration here and will have a lot to offer if he takes to the Caen profile

Race Overview
An excellent future prospect, KAMARI LOVE (9) has not have been seen out since securing the double at Enghien last August; she is untried racing clockwise but is unshod-behind for comeback and has the class to make this his own. Principal opposition will hail from the wonderfully-engaged KOALA DES ARCS (16) who imposed in good order at Laval last time out, and KINGMAN DELO (4) who has taken a particular liking to Caen conditions. KELLOU DES BRUMES (13) would have finished 2nd here in March had he not been disqualified for interference, but can make amends if Francois Lagadeuc keeps him out of trouble.
