Reims 09 April 2025

Surprise 2nd to JAMIN DE BRION (11) in a 3000m GNT Gr.3 at Salon-de-Provence 2 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but reverts to a previous formula and it would be foolhardy to rule him out

Quality element that ran 3rd of 10 finishers in 2900m GNT Gr.3 at Amiens on 5 March. Has solid references in good company and will be expected to produce another big run

9th of 15 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C early last month and is going to have to raise his game considerably

Placed 3 times before being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class C in early-March. Is new to the venue but goes well right-handed and Benjamin Rochard will be keen to put things right

Ran 3rd at Cordemais before finishing 6th of 9 finishers in a 2825m Class D at Le Croise-Laroche a month back, and will struggle to make his presence felt

Disappointing so far this term, most recently 8th of 16 in a 3100m Angers Gr.3 a week ago. Has merit but in present shape is not easy to recommend

Failed to live up to expectations when 8th of 14 in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class C a month ago. Is patently capable but is being aimed too high this time

Fine campaigner making first appearance since finishing 8th of 10 in a 2850m Vincennes Class B on 11 December. Stays shod for re-entry and best to wait

Finished last of 12 behind HELIOS SI (6) in a 2875m Argentan Class D on 19 March. Placed just once in 5 GNT starts in 2024 and is not about to stir things up

Ran good 5th of 14 in a 2200m Caen Class D on 13 March. Is Gr.1-placed, proven right-handed, and looks main threat to JAMIN DE BRION (11)

Imposed at Agen before clinching victory in a 3000m GNT Gr.3 at Salon-de-Provence 2 weeks ago. Is masterful racing right-handed and will take all the beating

Faithful sort that ran 5th of 15 in a 2150m Enghien Class C mid-March. Regularly in the thick of things but appears to be biting off more than he can chew

Sanctioned, on return to competition, in a 2700m Vincennes Class B 2.5 weeks ago. Is shod to preference this time and, with application, can defy the handicap and get in on the action

Last of 12 behind KIARA DE VANDEL (10), on re-entry, in a 2200m Caen Class D on 13 March. Is no slouch on a good day but is going to need another run

Makes first start since running 3rd of 11 in a 2100m Vincennes Class A 2 months ago. Has freshness on his side, boasts excellent right-handed credentials, and has the wherewithal to play an important role

Tenacious 2nd of 11 in a 2600m Nancy amateurs Class G 11 days ago. Shoes off this time and can make a big impact

Last of 9 in a 2625m Class E at La Rochelle early last month. Stays shod and best to hold off

5th of 13 in a 2600m Nancy Class F late last month. Won at this level mid-March and although not a priority, can still pleasantly surprise

Met little opposition en route to victory in a 2900m Amiens amateurs Class F on 5 March. Boasts a 60 percent win-rate in the day's configuration and Pascal Garreau will be expected to extend that

Put on an excellent show when 3rd of 11, a place behind IT'S DU QUENNE (1), in a 2600m Nancy amateurs Class G 11 days ago. Unlikely to get off the amateur mark but still has a claim on a place in the frame

Modest sort returning to racing after having been sanctioned in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F last November and is not about to cause an upset

Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2450m Caen monte Class F mid-March. Has other priorities and cannot be considered a player

Useful mare that ran 5th of 16 on re-entry in a 2600m Nancy Class F late last month. Has never disappointed here and with the talented Barbara Guenet in the bike, can play a leading role

Showed improvement 3 weeks ago when running 4th of 16 in a 2200m amateurs Caen Class G. Forced to break on 2nd row but still merits respect

8th of 16 on re-entry in a 2700m Class G at Le Croise-Laroche a month ago. Will have progressed for the run and, given his liking for Reims, should be thereabouts at the finish. First 5

Drops in category after running 5th of 11 in a Class E over track and trip 3 weeks ago. Has won here in this division and despite the 25m handicap, should still be competitive for a place in the frame

9th of 16, a place behind HIDAO DE LA GOUTTE (14), in a 2625m Class H at Paray-le-Monial 2.5 weeks ago and is going to need another run

Makes first appearance since faulting in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 13 January. Shod for the occasion and will have nothing to contribute

Disappointing so far this term, latterly 8th of 16 in a 2625m Class H at Paray-le-Monial 2.5 weeks ago, and can be passed over

Returns to a category he appreciates after finishing surprise 5th of 14 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class E on 22 January. Not a priority on comeback but can still get a look-in

Sanctioned when going well, on debut, in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 24 March. Still rather green though and others easier to back

Surprisingly lacklustre 7th of 10 on debut behind MADE IN CASTELETS (4) in a Class F over course and distance mid-March, and is unlikely to shake things up

Quickly sanctioned, on return to competition, in a 2450m Caen Class E a fortnight ago. Has otherwise demonstrated decent aptitude and, with stride in check, can pick up a cheque

Ran 3rd on debut here on 2 March before coming 2nd of 10 in a Class F, also over course and distance, a fortnight later. Unlikely to get off the mark but is not one to be dismissed out of hand either

Victorious on debut 2.5 weeks ago, securing a 2425m Angers Class F. Hails from a yard firing on all cylinders and will, unsurprisingly, garner significant support. Chance

Imposed at first time of asking, winning a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel a month back. Will have come on for the run, is to be reined by Alexandre Abrivard, and should appreciate Reims conditions

Confirmed debut success when securing a 2200m Strasbourg Class F a month ago. Finds himself in better company here but should nevertheless give an honourable account

Got off the mark in good order 2.5 weeks ago, easily winning a 2375m Challans Class F. Takes on a somewhat better lot this time but still has the wherewithal to finish close

Out of the picture in all 4 starts this term, latterly 6th of 14 in a 2450m Caen Class E late last month, and can expect to remain friendless in the markets

Given time to recalibrate after running 5th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 20 February. Goes first-time clockwise but with the champion driver at the helm, will be afforded every chance

Superior winner of a Class E over course and distance 3 weeks ago, first time out. Looks a serious colt in the making and it would be no surprise to see him double up

Makes first public appearance since being sanctioned in a 3250m Saumur Class F last October. Shoes on and no danger

Starts for first time since coming last of 10 in a 2900m Amiens Class F last July. Goes barefoot for comeback but is nevertheless going to need the run

2nd of 14 in a 2825m Villedieu-les-Poules claimer 10 days ago. Steps up in category for Reims bow, and for new trainer and, competitively-shod, should not be ignored

Made short work of an amateurs Class G over course and distance, on comeback, 3 weeks ago. Has nothing to prove at this level and, if disciplined, can repeat

Comfortable winner of a 2150m Cagnes Class G early last month. Has excelled since switching yards and will be expected to bring the fight to JADOR JOSSELYN (4)

Back in France after winning over 2600m at Victoria Park 2.5 weeks ago. Seldom far from faulting but races unshod behind and, on good behaviour, will be no pushover

Unraced since coming 6th of 16 in a 2150m Argentan Class F 2 months ago. Is shod for the occasion and best to wait

Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2450m Caen Class E a fortnight ago. Is not the most performant of horses and will have few friends

6th of 16 in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 24 March, her best result for some time, and is unlikely to spice things up

Unseen since coming 4th of 14 in a 2550m Bordeaux Class F in early-January. Consistently gives her best and while not a priority, can still play a small role

Modest individual making first appearance since finishing 8th of 9 in a 2775m Nimes claimer last November. Barefoot for Reims debut but has no possible chance

6th of 18, on return to competition, in a 3125m Angers Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Hind shoes off this time and will not be far off the mark if Tony Fleury keeps her trotting

Failed to confirm comeback victory when 12th of 16 in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 24 March. Drops marginally in category though and the revised configuration may be just what the doctor ordered

Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2825m Cordemais Class F late-November. Is shod for comeback but benefits for a very good entry and his apprentice will be eager to take advantage

Sanctioned in valuable 1900m Gold Serie event under harness at Berlin-Mariendorf 2.5 weeks ago. Lost his action in the capital last autumn on only ridden start and others preferred

Made it 3 from 4 when comfortably winning a 2800m Chartres Class E last October. Is on a hat-trick of wins for Eric Raffin and can give JABLO DU CHENE (2) a run for his money

Returns to the ridden code after dominating a 2950m Beaumont-de-Lomagne harness Class F 10 days ago. Never far from faulting but has previously won here and will be no easy touch if form transitions

Fast-finishing 7th of 15 in a 2450m Caen harness Class E on 31 March. Cannot be regarded a priority but returns to the code with a respectable chance of picking up a cheque

Surprisingly below-par last of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 22 March. Was not indicative of his nature however, and Benjamin Rochard will be determined to set the record straight

Back under the saddle after finishing last but one in a 2700m Cagnes harness Class E a month ago. Has yet to deliver in the discipline and others easier to support

Quality element making first appearance since running 5th of 9 in a 2650m Bordeaux Class C late-December. New to the venue but has excellent clockwise credentials and, barefoot this time, must be taken seriously

Debuts in the discipline after running 2nd of 7 in a Gold Series event over 1900m at Berlin-Mariendorf 2.5 weeks ago. Takes on a good bunch here, has been reconfigured, but still not an obvious choice

Sanctioned after enduring a tough trip in a 2175m Vincennes Class D on 28 February. Not the most dependable but pleased on lone start here and returns to racing right-handed with a chance of getting in on the action

Surprise 4th of 9 in a 2875m Enghien Class D a month ago. Is not the most performant horse here and a repeat seems improbable

Made a fine comeback a fortnight ago when 4th of 8 finishers in a 2100m Lisieux Class E, on first start for new yard, and will be expected to contest the finish this time

Pleasant 3rd of 10 to LORD DE LA FUTAIE (6) over 2300m at Mons on 25 February. Shoes on this time though, with Pierre-Yves Verva reining, but in this company will have too much to do

Got off the mark in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche late last month and although unlikely to repeat, should nevertheless hold his own

Returned to victorious ways late last month, easily securing a 2600m Nancy Class F. Takes on a better lot this time though and represents no more than a minor place prospect

Made it 2 in a row when dominating a 2575m Saint-Brieuc Class E in December. Unlikely to pull off the hat-trick but can still give this a good go

Hard to fault of late, most recently 3rd of 13 in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 24 March. Has never delivered at Reims but in current condition is easy to like

Sanctioned in a 2450m Caen Class E 2 weeks ago. Is clearly talented though and will not be far from the action if Franck Nivard keeps him trotting

Imposed in Kuurne before finishing last but one in a 2875m Enghien Class E 3 weeks ago and appears to have too much to find

Disappointing in 3 this year, latterly sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class E a fortnight ago, and is not about to cause an upset

2nd of 15 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 10 March. Is never far from faulting but on good behaviour can finish in the mix

Quality element that was sanctioned on comeback over 2300m at Mons a month ago. Hind pads fitted this time but still faces a stiff test

Fine servant that was surprisingly-sanctioned in a 2200m Caen Class E on 17 March. Form is not in doubt though and, free from traffic problems, can wrap this up
