Unbeaten in both appearances at the venue (14) DOUM JENILOU has nothing to prove at this level and even though giving away 25m to the good (7) DISCO D'OCCAGNES he still looks the horse to beat. (4) DESIREE DES LANDES has acquitted herself well in Paris this winter and returns to a track she adores. (10) EXTRA LIGHT has failed to make the grade in better company lately but drops back to a more suitable category and can make a big impact. (6) DIVA BEAUREGARD is never one to be underestimated and has already imposed under these conditions.

Very effective when focused the complicated (11) FEODALE flew up in a Vincennes Class C a fortnight ago and with application should be in a position to double her money. (10) FIRST PRINCESS finished fourth to her that day and looks the main threat. (9) EVASION CASTELETS boasts a very good record in this branch of the business and her recent effort stands her in good stead. (8) ERAGONNE MAYBE is not always the most dependable but she races barefoot this time and can get back in the game.

Dynamic in qualification last summer (1) HOKIO can wrap this up if as good in competition. He will still face opposition from the promising (16) HOLD UP DREAM who has made the frame in both starts to date. Tomas Malmqvist has opted to debut (3) HUMBLE STANCE in France and he will be no easy touch if he can replicate his Grosbois qualification. (2) HUDSON CATH is another to have caught the eye in qualification and must be respected. (8) HELL DREAM VET is no champion but can still pick up a small stake.
Delicate but has won two of the five races he has finished. Already successful at the venue and must not be overlooked

(7) GARGANTUA has yet to get off the mark but he has shown considerable promise. After a solid re-entry at Vincennes he debuts at Caen on the front line and can finally lose his maiden status. (6) GIVE ME QUICK is something of a tricky soul but he has already won twice and will have his chances if he can keep his stride in check. (2) GUALAMO is not easy to handle either but he is not devoid of ability and from the 2-spot can give this a good go. As regular as they come (4) GIVE ME DE HOUELLE benefits from an excellent spot behind the car and will be no easy touch. (8) GALWAY DU VIVIER will appreciate the mobile start and can get back in the game.

Even though regularly indisciplined (10) EUREKA DE TILLARD is still a very good horse in this category. Winner of her only appearance at the venue she is clearly in form and on good behaviour can wrap this up. That being said (7) EASY TO LOVE BLUE flew up at Bordeaux last time under the saddle and a repeat performance would see her go close. (9) DOW JONES EMGE returned to winning ways in Paris recently and will not be sent out at such a generous price this time around. (8) EAST RIVER has not been seen out for three months but she has been entrusted to David Thomain for the occasion which must be taken as a sign of confidence.

Like a horse reborn at the end of last year (6) FAKIR DU CHATEAU most recently flew up at Vincennes on his first start for the Jean-Michel Baudouin yard and given his aptitude for racing right-handed can repeat. Eric Raffin will still be keeping a watchful eye on (3) FEELING PACO who will be dangerous if he can stay in stride. (9) FOLLOW ME FLASH has not stepped a foot out of place for the past two months and even though starting wide still looks a player. Solid here earlier in the summer (2) FAN D'ARIFANT has been prepared for this and going barefoot from the 2-spot will have his chances. (1) FOCUS QUICK reassured at Angers last time out and will have his supporters.

Solid in both starts before being sent for a spell (10) ETOILE DE QUESNY made a very good re-entry at Vire recently and with front shoes off this time can have her way. She will still meet resistance from the in-form (8) ELSA RUSH who has already won at the venue. (3) ETOILEE VRIE has kicked the new year off in fine fashion and with application can make up for her Toulouse sanction.

A quality element that raced better last time than the result would suggest (11) FLASH DE JOUX won his only start going right-handed and can keep that record intact. Monclin will nevertheless feel some heat from the in-form (16) FELLI ELEVEN who takes on a less exalted bunch this time around. (13) FORUM MESLOIS has solid references in this category and will have his chances if applied. (8) GOOD FRIDAY has yet to be bested racing clockwise and must be taken seriously. (2) GEGE BAROQUE has been flying all winter and even with shoes on can get in on the action.
