When racing barefoot (9) DUC DE BOISNEY either finishes in the frame or is sanctioned but after flying up from the second line at Le Mans recently he can double his money if applied. The in-form (4) CITATION is 25m better off though and with Eric Raffin in the sulky will be no pushover. (8) DIDILBERT has not been seen out since November but is well in on the first row and if fit will have a lot to offer. Michel Lenoir will be represented by (14) DEESSE DU PLESSIS and (13) DORIAN DE SOUVIGNE both of which can trot into the money.

Behind in earnings and dropping back in class following a a solid effort at Caen ten days ago (13) EAGLE MESLOIS meets a less exalted bunch here and looks just to have the edge over (11) EL TIGRE SEGAH who trotted a good third under these conditions last time out. (8) EMIR SLY finished fifth that day but will have come on for the run and can make the frame this time. The complicated (7) ETAIN DE VIVOIN caught the eye at La Rochelle last Sunday and with application can finish in the mix. (2) ECLAIR DU GOSIER is reunited with Eric Raffin and will be competitive for a cheque.

(16) CADEL DE CAHOT may have got the year off to a modest start but now appears to be back at his best. He debuts at Chartres but has a superb provincial record and looks to have the edge over front-line starter (4) CONCERTO GEDE who gets on well with Tony Le Beller. (3) CHAYANE DE CALVI has never delivered at Chartres but is a fine finisher and will have her chances. (2) COCAINE DES PRES won at Amiens with Lecanu and is sure to generate interest. (11) BRANDEIS JET always gives his best and will not be far off the mark.

Facile Cholet winner last month ahead of the regular O'Sunday (2) DIALO DES KECHES returns to the track at which he went close the time before and with stride in check and impose. He is unlikely to have it all his own way given the presence of the ever-consistent (12) ZAUNI who has not once disappointed when barefoot. (3) EXCLUSIVE LANE has transitioned well to the ridden code and with a top rider in the irons will be afforded every chance. Course and distance winner before being sent for a break (7) CASPER has hind shoes off following a promising re-entry and is eminently capable of upsetting the apple cart.

Already a winner under these conditions and successful with Eric Raffin (2) FEERIQUE GIRL is clearly in form and can win a race of this nature. (7) FITZROY however has gone from strength to strength lately and racing first time barefoot can only work to his advantage. (11) FANTINE VISAIS is arguably better in the other code but her recent Maure performance augurs well for her chances. (6) FOUDRE DU GOSIER has two races in her since the break and with shoes off for the first time can get back down to business.

Confirmed at this level and fresh following a fine March re-entry (8) CRISTAL DU PONT goes barefoot on the front line with an experienced amateur in the sulky and can return to winning ways. Crespel can nonetheless expect to encounter resistance from a similarly barefoot (3) DESIGN PHEDO who drops down the class ladder for the occasion. The complicated (5) COLANDO DE L'INAM missed out by little in a similar event here last week and must be taken seriously. (10) ASIA DU CAMP seldom disappoints in this category and even from the second row can challenge for a spot on the podium. (7) DIDEROT DE MESLAY has never disappointed here and should give another competitive account.

Very effective under the saddle the in-form (8) DAISY DE VOUEDE returns to her code of preference and breaking in front can have her way. Winner of his only start at the venue (20) DRATAR BLOND makes just his second start back but Bossuet could not have hoped for a better entry and should figure prominently. Either in the frame or sanctioned (18) DJESON D'ARIANE will have his chances if he can stay in stride. (17) CYBELE DU VERNET won under these conditions a month ago and even though 25m worse off this time can still trot in for a cheque. (13) DOPIOM MONTAVAL is not the most faithful servant but he is confirmed in this category and cannot be ruled out.

A modest qualifier last summer (1) GAGNEUSE D'OR did not see the track until a fortnight ago but won in style and looks eminently capable of doubling her money. Solid in all three to date (8) GIPSA opened her account at Caen early March and after having had time to freshen up she returns to competition with a good hand to play. (6) GALACTIQUE BOND has yet to get off the mark but she benefits from experience and her latest effort stands her in good stead. (2) GOLDEN LORD MIJACK has shown promise and is not incapable of making the frame.
