An excellent card starts with a ridden race where (9) BUNKER DE RETZ gets the vote. Yannick-Alain Briand's charge beat the useful Beau de Grimoult here in September and is barefoot for the first time this year. The obvious danger is (8) CROSSFIRE who ran up a sequence of 10 wins before finding one too good on his last two outings. Of the others (3) CELINIA DU PONT is interesting running fully unshod for the first time since January 2017.

A fascinating Group 2 despite the paucity of runners. (3) EXPRESS JET is just favoured in his bid to double up after winning in Group 3 company on February 3. Prior to that he just beat (4) ENINO DU POMMEREUX - when they were third and fourth in a Group 2. The latter was a warm order that day but Pierre Vercruysse's son of Goetmals Wood is taken to confirm the placings.
