Has found her niche racing unshod, winning back-to-back 2800m races at Chartres recently - the latest on 14 April. Attractive outsider, even at this level

hDh4h7h5h4h2
Honest performer with sound references - seldom finishes far off the mark and confirmed as much by finishing an improved/encouraging 2nd when tried this shoeing configuration (barefoot) over 2700m at this venue on 16 April

h5h4h6h5h4h9
Inconsistent 17-start maiden who seldom finishes far off the mark but has no more than a place chance here after her last-start 9th over 2700m at this venue on 16 April

h5h1-h5hDh8h1
Continues to blow hot and cold but proved she possesses the means/ability to be competitive in a race like this by winning at Angers over 2350m on 11 April. Dark horse

hDh4h1hD-h0h4
Fast-finishing filly whose favourable starting berth on the front row should stand her in good stead here. Sparked improvement when finishing 4th over 2700m at this venue on 23 April - not taken lightly
Ecurie Alexandre Buisson

hDh5-h4h9h1h6
Inconsistent but certainly capable of staking a claim here, if judged on her best references. Won a 2575m race at Agen in February and proved her form/well-being with a creditable 6th over 2625m at La Rochelle on 21 April
Tanguy De La Bourdonnaye

mDh1h2-h9h3hD
Unreliable filly, though isn't incapable of getting into the picture here, despite her recent failure (disqualification) over 2700m at this venue on 23 April. Attractive outsider
Ecurie L Cl Abrivard

hDh3h2hDhD-h0
Complicated filly but she did reveal considerable means last year, so could resurface in this shoeing configuration (barefoot) that she tries for the first time. Keep safe
Ecurie L Cl Abrivard

h3h4h5-h5hDh1
Made amends, after her Reims disqualification on 17 April, by winning over 2850m at Laval last time out (25 April). Ought to remain competitive without her irons

h0h9-h1h2h2hD
Highly regarded filly with sufficient means to win a race of this nature. Would've featured prominently in the finish had she not gone off stride here last time over 2700m on 23 April - redemption awaits

Smart filly with undeniable quality but remains very delicate. Has won her last four completed outings, including a 2700m race Le Croise-Laroche last time (25 March), although was disqualified in as many during that time (eight appearances)
Ecurie Hunter Valley

h2hDh0h0-hDhD
Revealed considerable means in the provinces last year and confirmed that promise with a good 2nd in her debut at this course in April last year. Disqualified in both outings this year, though - the latest at Argentan on 15 April
Ch Germain

h1h8-h2mDh4mD
Disqualified in mounted races before and after her encouraging 4th over 2100m at this venue on 10 February. Has better references in this category, so ought to be competitive
Ecurie Sebastien Guarato
F

h0h0h0-hDhDh0
Soundly beaten (unplaced) in five of her last eight appearances and was disqualified on the other three occasions. Hard to make a case for on the evidence of her last start (11th) over 2150m at Enghien on 18 April

Race Overview
KEMILLA DE BRION (10) was challenging for a leading role at the time of her fault at this venue over 2700m last month and needs only to avoid disqualification to redeem herself here. KALINKA CASTELETS (13), who was disqualified in her latest outing under the saddle, is most effective in the harness category and has the means to fight for victory. Last-start winner KEENGAME (11), although probably better over further, and KLASSICA DESBOIS (8), of whom better is also expected after a much-needed comeback outing, complete the shortlist.
Selection:
10 - 13 - 11
