Made it 3 wins from 4 starts when securing a 2800m Cholet Class D late last month. Beat a very good colt that day and makes his Caen debut with a realistic chance of making the frame

Steps up in category after winning a 2450m Castillones Class D a fortnight ago. Handed a tough draw though and in this company will have limited prospects

Twice a winner over course and distance before running 2nd in Paris, MEURSAULT (9) has every chance of maintaining his unbeaten Caen record. David Thomain will still want to be wary of the significantly better-positioned MORE AND MORE (4) who takes a notable dip in category, and the in-form MELOMANE DE LOU (3) who starts just to her inside. MAESTRIA GALAA (7) is a complicated filly but has bags of ability and is proven at the venue.
10th of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes claimer mid-April but is a modest trotter with no possible chance

Back at the top of his game this year with 4 straight successes, ILTON CASH (8) has yet to make his mark at Caen but that looks set to become a thing of the past. Taking him on, and not particularly well-drawn either, OBLIVION (14) is enjoying something of a renaissance and, with application, will be dangerous. Rewarded with a well-deserved victory late last month, HAJIME (7) starts in front and receives a Mathieu Mottier drive for the occasion. IDEAL DE SASSY (3) has pulled a good number, will be shod to preference, and is very much at home here.
4th of 10 to MISS DES BESACES (8) in a 2700m Vincennes Class A 2.5 weeks ago, on first start since the spell. Will have progressed for the run but still has ground to make up

Even better since switching codes, MISTY GREEN (12) put in quite the performance to win the Gr.2 Prix Hemine here last month and even against the colts, looks the one to beat. In fact, her main rival is none other than MADEMOISELLE JANE (11) who ran 3rd that day. MANTLER DE SIMM (6) has been progressing nicely and steps up in class with a good hand to play. In the frame in both starts at this level, MESSI PASS (10) looks the sort that can do well at Caen.
9th of 15 behind JINGLE DU PONT (9) in a 2100m Vincennes Class C in early-April. Raced better that day than the result would suggest and, already a winner here, can confirm

With three runs under his belt since the winter break, CHERRY TOP (1) returns full fit to the provinces and, winner of his only Caen start, is easy to like for a repeat. A model of consistency for the most part, HALO AM (4) gave a fine account of himself on his recent re-entry, is reconfigured for the occasion, and also unbeaten at Caen. Nicely-engaged toward the limit of earnings, DANGER BI (15) has been struggling in Paris this year but nevertheless has the quality to play a leading role if applied. CANTO DEI VENTI (6) mixes the good with the less good but has nothing to prove at this level. Yet to disappoint here, and latterly successful racing left-handed, HOVE PONT VAUTIER (8) should put on another good show.
Sanctioned in both since the spell, latterly a 2700m Vincennes Class C 2.5 weeks ago, and is not easy to recommend

For good reason the richest horse in the field, LITTLE ORELIE (15) won the Saint-Leger des Trotteurs here last season, has yet to be bested at the venue and, shod to preference, should have this in the bag. A serious future prospect, LOUISIANE DES VAUX (7) takes to the provinces for the first time after having won 4 straight in Paris and, sporting a new configuration, looks the main threat. Runner-up in last season's Saint-Leger, LAMBADA DU GOUTIER (11) has struggled with stride woes but has been afforded time to recalibrate and racing shod may well be key to her redemption. LARGO DE CASTELLE (13) debuts in the discipline but has held his own in good harness company and Alexis Collette will be eager to prove the colt's ridden potential.

5th of 8 finishers to IGUSKI SAUTONNE (4) in 2150m Gr.1 Prix de l'Atlantique at Enghien 3 weeks ago. Has never delivered here but is a quality mare with good speed and is not to be underestimated
Oddly below-par last of 8 in 2150m Gr.1 Prix de l'Atlantique at Enghien 3 weeks ago. Is by some margin the classiest horse here however and will be expected to bounce back and win this

More than twice as wealthy as his nearest rival here, HOHNECK (12) won this race in 2023 before running 4th 12 months ago, and in the day's configuration will be a tough nut to crack. Leading the opposition, IGUSKI SAUTONNE (4) was superb in the Prix de l'Atlantique at Enghien and will not be sent out at 30/1 this time. Convincing winner of an Angers Gr.3 early last month, INO DU LUPIN (7) steps up in category but should appreciate these conditions and must not be underestimated. FACE TIME (8) is clearly close to his race and has won 3 of his last 4 here.
Disappointing in last 2, latterly 11th of 16 in a 2950m Vichy harness Class D last Monday and backs up with limited prospects

Back in the discipline after coming 6th of 16 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D 8 days ago. Reverts to a previous configuration and while not a priority is still worth keeping an eye on

An excellent crusader in the ridden discipline, JAZZ IN MONTREUX (12) returns to Caen well-prepared, shod to preference, and with every chance of making this his own. HERADAMES (14) may not have been seen under the saddle for some time but has form at a superior level and looks a legitimate contender. GABRIELLA DUEM (15) debuts in the code in excellent shape and will have her chances. Difficult to knock under these conditions, FALCON D'ESPACE (10) must be taken seriously.

An exceptional servant that goes over any trip, FRANK GIO (11) may not have been seen out since winning the Gr.1 Prix Ourasi in late-January but he has class in spades and racing right-handed will pose no problem. LE BILLET VERT (4) has progressed very nicely this year and his recent Gr.2 Prix de Tonnac-Villeneuve performance stands him in good stead. Already twice a winner at the highest level, LOVINO BELLO (10) has not raced for 3 months but is shod to preference and thrives with Eric Raffin reining. LITTLE BROWN (7) gave a good account behind Clement Duvaldestin's colt on his re-entry at Enghien and will have progressed for the race.
Got back in the game at Lyon-Parilly mid-April when successful in a 2850m Class D. Takes on a better lot this time but, with application, can still get a look-in

Back to winning ways last month, KISS ATOUT (6) returns to racing right-handed but has the requisite references and can repeat. KISS ME AGAIN (5) struggled to turn at Vincennes recently but going clockwise this time is a logical move and the draw will do his chances no disservice. KENNEDY FRANCE (13) was clearly going well when sanctioned at Cavaillon but is barefoot with Matthieu Abrivard in the bike and will be expected to redeem himself. KINGA SUPREME (7) put on quite the show in Paris mid-April and in similar shape can go close.
