This opening event for amateurs is likely to go the way of HAKON DU VIVIER (4), who is impeccable in this category.

GUS DES CHAMPS (16) is well engaged here at the ceiling of earnings and is also capable of playing a leading role. HENA MOSSA (6) and ELGUZ DE FLORANGE (12), appeal most of the remainder.

As a son of Ready Cash and Sometime, well-bred Vincent Martens-trained LE LAUREAT DU PARC (1) is likely to be all the rage here on debut. Well-related LADY DE GESVRES (7), a granddaughter of the very talented Nina de Gesvres, LYRIKO BELLO (4), who qualified in a good time at Laval, as well as LARKE DE BELLANDE (5), with David Bekaert an eye-catching engagement, are others who could play leading roles first time out.

KEY LADY (8) fluffed her lines when faulting as the favourite at Vincennes last time but she is more than capable of making amends here, if avoiding disqualification, so is good value to redeem herself in a race of this nature. KUALA LUMPUR (5), undefeated in two starts, returns from a break and is likely to make a bold bid on her reappearance, so features high on the shortlist of potential dangers alongside KENYA D'AVE (6), who has the means to expose chinks in the armour of the aforementioned pair. Returning KING HEUVELLAND (11) has also shown enough to fight for the victory, ahead of KLUSAZ (9) and KELLY CHARLY ERA (13).

IPPON DE MONTCEAU (9) could not have been more impressive in winning consecutive starts recently and a repeat of either performance should be enough to see him complete the hat-trick. IATHUS DANICA (14) caught the eye last time at Vincennes and is likely to give cheek, while ILOUMAX (11) is also capable of posing a threat racing barefoot on this occasion. IBERIQUE TURGOT (7) has the means to play a leading role too, with ILLICO DE BOUTEAU (15), the highest earner in the race. appealing most of the remainder.

A pleasing winner of his last start at Vincennes recently, JUSTIN WOOD (1) looks well placed to follow up here racing unshod from a favourable starting berth. He will, however, have to thwart the likely challenge of JOCONDE TURGOT (6), without her hind shoes now, as well as JEZABEL JENILOU (2), who has performed impeccably when barefooted. JESON BOY (5), a brilliant winner of the four-year-old Grand Prix at Lyon-Parilly, and JACKPOT DU VIVIER (10) could also have a say in the outcome. Good race!

Having finished an encouraging 3rd last time on his return from a break, HOKIO (7) has a great opportunity here to recapture the winning thread, especially with all four shoes removed for this engagement. His opposition is likely to be led by HYDROMEL (8), who also races completely unshod this time around, with HEART OF GLASS (6) and HARRY LE BEAU (2) others capable of playing a role. HOCO MESLOIS (5) and HIGH BLACK HORSE (3) complete the shortlist.
