Takes first steps in amateur division not having raced since being sanctioned in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class E last September. Appreciates Caen, runs barefoot this time, but still no more than a minor place prospect

Back in the category after finishing last of 14, on return to competition, in a 2900m Challans Class G 11 days ago. Handed a top draw and, barefoot for the occasion, looks a decent first-5 chance

Disappointing in 3 starts since winning at Argentan in December, most recently 7th of 10 in a 2900m Amiens amateurs Class F a fortnight ago and even though reconfigured, is unlikely to stir things up

Returns to racing barefoot after finishing 13th of 14 in a 2675m Lisieux Class F conditioner last Saturday. Jean-Luc Gadois would have preferred a better draw but she has been solid in 2 of last 3 amateur runs and must be taken seriously

Seldom disappointing in the amateur division, GOLDORACK DU BOIS (10) has won twice already this year and returns to the category with every chance of securing a third success. He will still come up against the tough and reconfigured INCOGNITO (14) who showed his form at Amiens last month, and the better-situated ISA DU PRESSOIR (2) who races barefoot for her return from a lengthy layoff. INSTIGATEUR (16) was last in the draw 'queue' but races unshod-behind at a track he appreciates.
Looked very ordinary in qualification here last October when posting 1'20'5 and is unlikely to generate much interest

Although sanctioned when heavily-backed on his recent ridden bow, MERCANTOUR (8) has been entrusted to Mathieu Mottier this time and can dominate if he keeps his action together. The spirited but promising MONTANA WOOD (6) gets to try his hand under the saddle and Alexis Collette can expect to finish close if his colt behaves. MENDELEIEV (9) will find the this task an easier one and looks a marginally better bet than MISTRAL KERYANN (7) who has not raced since late-January.
Qualified in 1'18'7 at Meslay-du-Maine last June. Has had time to come into herself and will be worth keeping an eye on

Qualified in 1'16'1 here and well-regarded at home, MEET AND GREET (5) has been off since her November debut but still has a realistic chance of getting off the mark. Yoann Lebourgeois will still want to be wary of MELISSA JOSSELYN (8) who debuted nicely at Argentan 2 months ago, and MAYA GERBEHAYE (11) whose Le Croise-Laroche bow did not go unnoticed. MADRAGUE DAIRPET (6) will have come on for her good debut at Le Mont and Guillaume Martin gets the nod this time.
Has done nothing but progress lately, most recently running 2nd of 16 in a 2700m Vire Class F early this month but represents more a minor place chance this time

A good lot of fillies here but preference nevertheless goes to the progressive LA FOULE (6) who gave a good account on her re-entry here earlier in the month. Winner of 2 on the trot before being sent for a holiday, LAETITIA MONTVASON (12) is first-time barefoot, and if fully-fit, can give Julien Dubois' charge a run for her money. Better-placed behind the car, and unbeaten in two Caen starts, LADY DE VANDEL (3) is competitively-shod for the occasion and warrants respect. LIBRE SAUTONNE (17) has pulled a shocker of a draw but imposed at La Rochelle recently, is barefoot for the first time, and Mathieu Mottier will endeavour to complement Matthieu Abrivard's good work.
Surprise 3rd here earlier in the month before running 5th of 12 to IDEAL D'URZY (2) in a Class F under these conditions a week ago. Has a lot of ground to make up though and no more than a minor place chance

He may not be the most reliable of trotters but IDEAL D'URZY (2) made short work of a similar event here last week and could well double up if Francois Lagadeuc keeps him focused. That said, INDIGO BEACH (11) returns to conditions he favours and will be barefoot for the occasion. IMAIL DE CARSI (8) is never far from faulting but current form is hard to ignore. HATE YOU BEYLEV (6) is barefoot for the first time this year and Agathe Poulain will be eyeing a place on the podium.

Sent for a rest after failing to pull off the hat-trick in early-January, LE VOILA SAUTONNE (12) is barefoot for his comeback and even from the back row can return to winning ways. LEADER DE L'AUMOY (1) showed significant promise at 3, has a pair of runs in him since the winter break, and racing barefoot will be no easy touch. Rejuvenated since the turn of the year, LOUSTIC DE CHENU (3) is ideally-placed in front and is not incapable of losing his maiden tag. L'ART DU SOLLIER (13) steps back up in category after encouraging at Le Mont-Saint-Michel and races barefoot for the first time.
Sanctioned in a 2500m Class H at Bihorel-les-Rouen last weekend. Hind shoes off this time but still not easy to recommend

2nd of 6 finishers to LATSBY DE GUEZ (6) before faulting early in a 2700m Graignes Class F last Sunday. Is clearly in good shape though and will be expected to make amends

5th of 6 finishers to LATSBY DE GUEZ (6), on comeback, in a Class F over course and distance 10 days ago. The run will have done him good, sports front pads for first time, but still has more to find

Flew up in a Class F over course and distance 10 days ago. Is well behind in earnings and, with application, can make it 2 on the trot

3rd of 4 finishers in a 2700m Class E mid-January. In less-exalted company here and with Benjamin Rochard in the bike, can bring the fight to LATSBY DE GUEZ (6)

Sanctioned 6 times in a row, it took just 2 runs for LATSBY DE GUEZ (6) to register a win for his new yard and, if behaved, will have a realistic claim on the double. LYPHARD DELF (4) ran second to him that day but races barefoot this time and with stride in check can again figure prominently, but may first have to see off LOUPIOT DE CHENU (8) who has taken particularly well to his new vocation, and the reconfigured LASCAUX DU NOYER (7) who is better than the 3rd place he posted in the race of reference.
Disappointing on the whole for some time, most recently sanctioned in a 2650m Saint-Galmier Class F a fortnight ago, and would be preferred racing left-handed

Put a pair of sanctions behind him when 3rd of 14 in a Class E over course and distance 10 days ago and will be dangerous if David Thomain manages to keep him trotting

Missed out by little for victory 3 weeks ago in a 2825m Cordemais Class E. Unlikely to repeat but can still pick up a cheque

In the frame in 2 of last 3, latterly 3rd of 16 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 12 February. Ideally-entered on front row but more a minor place prospect this time around

Winner of four of his last six starts, KEL PRESTANCE (13) may not have been seen out since December and has no right-handed references, but she is fitted with pads again and the engagement of Benjamin Rochard may be just the ticket. Similarly returning from a break, KARNAC WOOD (14) is more at home racing clockwise and looks the main threat. Reliability may not be his strong suit but KARAT DEFF (2) put on quite the show here recently and the 25m head-start can make all the difference. KANKAL (5) enjoys a terrific entry on the front line and returns to the harness code with a realistic chance of making the frame.
