Never easy to handle, LOVELY CHENEVIERE (11) nevertheless reassured connections here late last month and the new configuration will only work in her favour. She will still meet resistance from monte debutante LORENE LA RAVELLE (12) who reassured under harness earlier in the month, and LADY DE GREZ (10) who left a good impression first time under the saddle. LEONIE DE L'ECLAIR (8) will have come on for her debut run and can finish closer this time.

Sprang quite the surprise at Rambouillet earlier in the month, coming 3rd of 14, at 152/1, in a 2800m Class E. Starts on the second row but still looks good enough to make the first 5

Showed improvement when 2nd of 9 in a 2825m Vire Class F 10 days ago, racing first time without front shoes. Same configuration here and, despite the draw, should be competitive for victory

A class above most here, JADE PIERJI (7) regularly delivers a mixed bag of results but she reverts to a successful configuration and could well win this if she stays in stride from one end of the race to the other. Regularly in the thick of things at Caen, JUNON DES ROSES (16) reassured at Vire recently and will be dangerous if Geoffrey Lemaitre successfully navigates the start. JAVA BESP (3) has been handed an ideal spot behind the car and, barefoot for the occasion, will be expected to improve on her latest Chartres performance. JOA DE LA LOUTRIE (15) finished 2nd here before the winter break and, with 2 races under her belt, can get back in the game.
Sanctioned in a 3200m Landivisiau Class F 10 days ago. Modified shoeing this time but still has no realistic chance

Although never far from faulting, JET DU RAVARY (12) is clearly back at his best, returns to racing barefoot, and Eric Raffin will be out to confirm his recent course-and-distance victory. He will nevertheless be keeping one eye on the similarly complicated KAP ORNE (4) who has won twice under these conditions, and the other on KING OF JIEL (7) who failed to complete the double when faulting early here a fortnight back. Facile winner in Paris earlier in the month, KARA MIA (17) has yet to disappoint in this branch of the game and will be competitive for a place in the frame.
Returns to the regular ranks after finishing 4th of 10 in a 2150m Enghien claimer on 2nd May. Has the inside line but still represents no more than minor place chance

Winner of both starts since returning from his break, JASON BLUE (4) finds himself ideally-positioned behind the car and can pull off the hat-trick. Also well-placed in front, JANOU POULOT (2) returned to winning ways last month, goes barefoot for the occasion, and hails from a stable in cracking form. Forced to break wide, JUST ME DIESCHOOT (8) may not be the most dependable of horses but he is in his category and, with application, can make the frame. Similarly erratic, JARDIN DE MAHEY (12) flopped after winning well at Graignes but, with his mind on the game, can put things right.

Excellent since starting to race barefoot, KALANSKA (11) sports a new configuration for her Caen debut, thrives with Yoann Lebourgeois, and looks the one to beat. That said, KALAMA DE BEYLEV (14) lost her maiden tag at Graignes and steps up in class with justified ambition. Winner here last season, KARVINA D'ELA (3) always gives her best and, first-time barefoot, can make a big splash. Nicely-engaged here, KASSIOPEE DREAM (16) beat the favourite 2 weeks ago and must be taken more seriously.

The progressive KAPOCEO (5) could have made it 3 on the trot had he not lost his action at Graignes recently, but Yoann Lebourgeois is not about to let the same thing occur twice. He will still feel some pressure from the well-engaged KASHKAI (12) who gave a fine account here late last month, and the complicated KARNO D'ARBAZ (3) who will be no soft touch if he stays in stride. KABOTIN CHENEVIERE (7) showed his form here in the other code last time out and merits respect.
Sanctioned on debut in a 2750m Elbeuf Class G 10 days ago and is unlikely to cause an upset

Modest sort that came 6th here before finishing last of 8 in a 2675m Lisieux Class D on Monday and backs up with limited aspiration

Unremarkable 5th of 8 finishers in a Class E over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to spring any surprises but will not be going home empty-handed

2nd of 11 in a 2650m Bordeaux Class F mid-March. Is plainly close to her race and must be afforded respect

Depressingly-named filly for whom 3rd time was, ironically, a charm, winning a 2700m Graignes Class F 2 weeks ago, and will be competitive for the double

Made up for her Caen sanction when 4th of 10 in a 2850m Laval Class E earlier in the month but still represents no more than a minor place prospect

Produced a brace of good efforts here before faulting in a 2700m Chartres Class E 3 weeks ago but with his handler back in the sulky, looks a serious proposition

3rd of 7 in a 2550m Reims Class E early-April after having won at Nancy on debut and will have a legitimate claim on a spot in the frame

Surprisingly sanctioned at Chartres, LADOTA PRIOR (8) is undeniably a filly with a lot of potential and, with Mathieu Mottier reining, can finally get off the mark. They will still be pitted against the less-experienced LUSITANIA (6) who looked very classy when winning at Graignes recently. LA VIVA DE LOU (10) has done everything right so far and the addition of hind pads will only enhance her prospects. Runner-up in her last 2, it will not be long before LADY DU POMMEAU (5) loses her maiden status.
Quality element that has already won under these conditions. Last but one in a 2675m Lisieux harness Class F on Monday but, competitively-shod, will be no pushover

Gave a good account, on return from a spell, when 2nd of 8 in a 3200m Fougeres Class F on 1 February. Has previously won here in the day's configuration and will generate some interest

Regularly in the thick of things when applied, although sanctioned in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on Monday. Has solid form at the venue though and even racing shod, will not be far from the action

Temperamental she may be but IDOLA PHEDO (8) is never far from springing a surprise and is marginally preferable to GO FOR BELLAY (7) who inherited success at Chateaubriant (but who nonetheless acquitted himself well that day). Course-and-distance winner last time here, GAD DE BAFFAIS (1) is shod to preference for his first objective of 2024 and, with application, can finish close. HAUTENTICA (6) has form at the venue and with Paul Ploquin onboard, will be afforded every chance.
