Winner of his last two, most recently in style, JUKEBOX DU SCION (17) won under these conditions last spring and, even racing shod this time, still looks the one to beat. It is unlikely to be all plane sailing though considering the form JOHNNY BE GOOD ER (14) showed last month. JUPITER DU CORTA (15) is better than his recent performance here would suggest and will be expected to bounce back. JOKER DE LA CRIERE (9) is 25m better off, enjoying a good run of form, and looks a decent place prospect.
Makes first appearance since her 3rd place in a 2775m Class E at Les Sables-d'Olonne last August and is sure to need the run

Unbeaten in two starts this year, FAKIR DE L'AULNE (11) has turned a corner since being entrusted to Eric Raffin and, even though fitted with pads this time, the hat-trick still looks well within their grasp. That notwithstanding, it is hard to ignore GARANCE DU VIVIER (9) these days and the Laval profile show suit her perfectly. Not far behind her last time out, FLYING BRICKELL (12) is configured differently on this occasion and should prove more competitive, while FILOU SMILING (5) will be no easy touch either, provided Julien Travers keeps him trotting.

JUNON TWIN (12) left a good impression at Cherbourg on her recent return to competition; she has never disappointed in this configuration and, from the front row, can finally get that maiden monkey off her back. JAYA SAINT CLAIR (17) faulted at the start last time out but is clearly in excellent shape and, despite the handicap, can still play a prominent role. The lightly-raced but talented JULIA BELLA (4) is shod for her seasonal bow but still looks competitive for a place in the frame. Eric Raffin is reunited with a barefoot JUDICIEUSE ZAILER (3) who is due a change in fortune.

At the top of his game after switching back to the monte code, ISOCRATE D'ELA (7) made short work of the Nantes competition last month and, even incurring the handicap, should be good enough to repeat. Mathilde Colas will still expect to encounter resistance from front-line starters ILLUSIVE GLORY (4) who has hardly put a foot wrong this winter, and the complicated but capable IN LOVE DE BLARY (2) who has been fitted with pads for the occasion and reunited with France's champion driver. Winner of his only start at the venue, ILLICO DE LOU (5) races with front shoes off for the first time and can make up for his recent lacklustre effort.
6th of 13 in a 2800m Argentan Class F after having won at Angers the previous month. Hind shoes off this time but, at this level, risks having her work cut out

A relatively open affair this with a number in contention, but a tentative nod nevertheless goes to KELLY D'AVEL (10) who showed a tough side to herself to win at Angers last time out, and that tenacity will serve her well here. KAVIASE (8) is clearly on the way up and will be no soft touch, and neither will KERNEZIA DU CORTA (14) who dispelled some fears at Graignes a fortnight back. KALIENTE D'ATOUT (15) is a tough nut when focused and racing first-time barefoot will do nothing but enhance her chances.
Held back since qualifying in 1’18”6 last August. Will have progressed since, sports hind pads for the occasion, and will be competitive for a slice of the pie

Beaten only by a very good horse here first time out, LILAS AIMEF (11) will have come on for the run and is in with a realistic shout of opening her account, but Loic Guinoiseau would be wise to be wary of Thierry Duvaldestin's LA DESTINEE (9) who looks a decent trotter in the making, and LOVER FACE BOY (3) who has had time to progress since qualifying smartly last summer. LORD OF THE RINGS (2) has a similar profile and, with Franck Nivard reining, is not about to disappoint.

6th of 8 in a Vincennes Class E over 2700m earlier in the month. In less-exalted company this time and a place in the frame is well within his capacity

9th of 10, behind KAVALE D'ERQUY (10), in a 3000m Nantes Class F on 20 February. Barefoot this time but still unlikely to show much, if any, improvement

Raced well before being sanctioned under similar conditions here 3 weeks ago. Shoes back on but others still easier to back

Author of a fine effort at Graignes last time out, KELLY D'ACADIE (14) should be good enough to win a race of this nature. That said, she will be up against KEY BRISBANE (17) who showed decent progress last time out, and KEJAIME DE HOUELLE (11) who will be expected to make up for her recent Vincennes sanction. KOKTAIL DE JANZE (9) looks to have decent aptitude and can do well in this category.
Scored a 2nd straight amateur victory when winning a 2150m Mauquenchy Class G 3 weeks ago and, unbeaten with her partner, looks a serious proposition

On paper, this looks a 2-horse race between the hardy GALANT DE BRUYERE (13) who won at this level before pleasing in the professional ranks next time, and the reinvigorated HE STAR DU CALICE (1) who can use her 25m advantage, and revised shoeing, to secure a 4th victory in 5 starts. GO GARFIELD (4) similarly vies for the hat-trick and, even though shod to preference, may still have to settle for bronze. EDISON D'EBANE (9) is a model of consistency and his recent Nantes performance bodes well for his chances.
