Good consistent trotter that missed out by little at Enghien last time. Drawn on the inside line here but still looks good enough to win this

Justifiably well-regarded individual that seldom lets the side down. Did not live up to expectations last time but is clearly in shape and with just front pads fitted can make good on his position behind the car

After a fine 2022 season, HUDO DU RUEL (1) picked up at Enghien where he left off and looks a serious prospect on his Caen debut. He is unlikely to have it all his own way though considering how well the better-positioned HOCHE (5) has improved over recent weeks. HECTOR DE BASSIERE (4) was unsurprisingly well-backed last time out and benefits from a superb entry here. HUNE LOVE (8) suffered some bad luck in Paris last time out and Matthieu Abrivard will be out to redress the balance.
Tricky type but has form in good company. Put on a fine show last time despite losing his action but with stride in check can set the record straight

Although not the easiest to handle, KRISTAL JOSSELYN (1) has bags of ability. She would have finished close last time had she stayed in stride and can make amends. Eric Raffin will nevertheless be wary of the improving KRONO DU TRIO (2) who latterly imposed over the distance at Vincennes. KENTUCKY PIYA (12) is forced to start on the second line but he is unbeaten in three going clockwise and looks dangerous. Already a winner at the venue, KING BABEL (9) has not once set a foot out of line and must also be taken seriously.
Gr.2 winner and Gr.1 second over the winter. Just one race under her belt since the break but is not one to be underestimated

Winner of the 2021 and 2022 editions, the dynamic ETONNANT (16) bids to become the first horse in the race's history to win it three times and given current form should be in a position to pull it off. The ever-consistent HOHNECK (15) finished a fine 3rd to him in the Gr.1 Prix de l'Atlantique and in the absence of Go On Boy, looks the principal threat this time. A place behind him that day, HORSY DREAM (9) is being aimed at Elitloppet but still looks dangerous. HAPPY VALLEY (5) appears to be close to her best though and could well prove something of a spoiler.
Well-regarded but seldom lives up to expectations and is not about to break the mould

Winner of a Gr.2 last time under the saddle, FULTON (18) has been prepared for this in the other code and even with just hind shoes off for the occasion should have this in the bag. He will nevertheless face some opposition from 2021 Prix des Elites winner GIRLY BECO (15), provided she can keep her action together. GO FOR THE GOLD (8) has been on a fine run of form this term and even in this company will still have a lot to offer, as should the good FILWELL (17) who seldom disappoints when barefoot.
Very hard to fault over recent weeks. Left a good impression at Bordeaux recently but still no more than a minor place prospect

Very hard to fault when racing without front shoes, and with solid credentials going clockwise, HIDALGO DES NOES (10) has been specifically prepared for this and looks marginally better than GLAMOUR QUEEN (11) who has twice finished runner-up in good company lately. HELIOT DE CAHOT (13) is never to be ignored when barefoot and his recent finish behind the Gelormini-driven horse bodes well for his chances. FANFARONNEUR (5) is as versatile as they come and boasts a good Caen record.

Unseen under the saddle since June 2022, JEAN BALTHAZAR (8) made an exceptional return to the discipline a fortnight ago to finish second in the Gr.2 Prix Rene Palyart and in similar form can impose this time. Yoann Lebourgeois will be mindful of the progressive and talented JULIANA DE RETZ (4) who races barefoot for the first time. Unbeaten in two appearances in the monte code, JASPER DES CHARMES (5) is confirmed going clockwise and with Eric Raffin in the irons will have his chances. JOYEUSE (10) gave a fine account in the Gr.1 Prix des Centaures before struggling with stride issues behind the favourite next time but will be fitted with pads on this occasion which may well prove key to her rehabilitation.

Unquestionably the leader of his generation, JUST A GIGOLO (15) flew up in the Gr.2 Prix de Tonnac-Villeneuve on his return to competition three weeks ago and looks set to repeat. Runner-up in the Gr.1 Prix de Selection before trotting third to Allaire's colt at Enghien, JULIET PAPA BRAVO (11) can again apply the pressure. Both JOYNER SPORT (13) and JAZZY PERRINE (14) were very unlucky that day but can set the record straight.

Following a rough start to his career, KYT KAT (8) has subsequently come good since being fitted with front pads and after two straight Gr.2 wins, he is well-placed to pick up a third. KIMBO BERRY (7) is on the way up, having finished 3rd and 2nd respectively to him, and looks a solid prospect. Stablemate to the favourite, KANDORA BELLA (6) has also marked her card at a similar level and should not be too hastily judged for her Gr.2 Prix H'mine performance. The good KELANIE LORRAINE (5) showed marked improvement that day and once again looks competitive.

It is not easy to choose between IDDEN FORTUNE (3) who imposed smartly at Enghien on her penultimate start, and the more faithful IDEAL DANCER (5) who made up for his comeback sanction with a solid success at Alencon, however a tentative nod goes to Franck Nivard's charge. That said, IVANJICA DE LOU (7) is barefoot again and should not be far off the mark, and neither should IMPARTIAL (9) although the draw will work against him.
