Belatedly returned to form last time in his fourth start since returning from a layoff. Finished 3rd at Cagnes over 2700m in a stronger race on 3 February and should make his presence felt here if confirming that form

Capable mare with references at a much higher level but has proven very unreliable. Didn't go unnoticed at Agen last time (7th) on 19 November but was unshod on that occasion, so is best watched for now

Out of sorts for some time now but has references at a higher level so could spark improvement dropped in class with Michel Poirier at the helm. Finished 10th Graignes over 2725m on 5 February

Finished 6th in a harness race at this venue over 2700m back in May but was barefoot on that occasion and is probably more effective under the saddle - was 4th in a mounted race at Chartres in June. Watch for now

HIPSTER DE CAHOT (13) has been at the top of his game for several weeks now and is good value to resume winning ways here having won three consecutive starts at this level before finishing 2nd in a considerably stronger 'pro' race last time. However, GALON D'AMIRAL (12) is likely to pose a threat and would have done so in their meeting last month without his fault that day. HERA WIND (9), an easy last-start winner at Graignes, and FILOU DE PAM (14), who has already proven his competitiveness at this level, complete the shortlist ahead of consistent ESPOIR DES MAZURES (11).
Consistent performer with sound references at this level and good recent form to his name, including a 5th over 2175m at this venue on 21 January. Warrants respect

HANNAH (7) has her sights lowered after being outclassed in a 2700m Group I on this course last month and ought to make the most of this considerable drop in grade. HURELLA (17) was a convincing winner of a mounted race over 2175m when last seen under the saddle and could pose a threat if as effective over this distance. FARANDOLE DI PALBA (12) was impeccable over the winter and is also capable of playing a leading role. GALANT GALAA (15), GAIN ULTIME (10) and FLUO MESLOIS (11) ought to be competitive for ther places.
Won over this course and distance in December but blotted his copybook over 2700m last time, when 10th at this venue on 10 February. Can do better reverting to this trip

JACK IS HAUFOR (4) lines up here with legitimate claims of completing a hat-trick but will have to thwart the likely challenges of both JOJO TOONS (10), who is better than his last start suggests, and JOYAU JICEE (1), who will pose more of a threat back at a distance over which he won his previous outing at this venue. JOADIE WIND (9) is ideally entered at the ceiling of earnings, so ought to make her presence felt too.
A complicated mare in the harness category - was disqualified last time out on 21 January at Lyon-La Soie. Her two appearances under the saddle also resulted in a disqualification - overlook

JEWEL DE BANVILLE (6) caused somewhat of a stir when a surprise winner of a harness race last time out so it could pay to side with him again on his return to the mounted category. He will, however, have to thwart both ILLENC DES BOSC (5), whose latest outing was too bad to be true so best ignored, and IVRIG VIKING (8) who, judged on his best references, certainly has the means to win a race of this nature. IVANOF (10) and JIMAKO VERDERIE (2) have legitimate claims of getting onto the podium.
Got back on track last time with a reassuring 2nd on this course over 2700m last month (25 January). Should have more to offer here racing unshod for the first time

Veteran mare with no references at this level and whose inconsistency, even at a lower level, is discouraging. Failed to confirm the improvement of her previous start (3rd) when only 9th at Toulouse on 23 January

Unreliable veteran these days with better references at a lower level and has been off the boil for some time now. Was disqualified last time in a mounted race at Laval over 2850m on 17 February

Veteran mare inconsistent at a lower level, so has her work cut out for her in a race like this. Didn't confirm the form/improvement of her previous start (3rd) when only 8th over 2850m at this venue on 3 February

Inconsistent but has undeniable means and will be presented here fully unshod for the first time since July. Was 8th over 3150m at Saint-Brieuc on 26 January but ought to fare better under these conditions

An honest mare whose references at this level in this configuration give her legitimate claims of having a say in the outcome. Was shod when finishing 9th in a Quinte+ race over 2700m on 6 February - not taken lightly

An honest performer who rarely finishes far off the mark, though seldom wins his races (only 3 victories from 74 starts). Fully unshod again but has to raise his game after a modest 7th at Pontchateau on 18 February

Didn't go unnoticed in his two starts in amateur races recently and his competitiveness in the 'pro' ranks has already been proven - won over 2950m at Le Mans on 18 December. Cannot be underestimated

Continues to blow hot and cold but is undeniably capable of winning a race like this, which he proved with a last-start victory over 2175m at this venue on 21 January. Will be a factor once more

A hard-knocking veteran mare effective in this configuration (barefoot) with sound references at this level to her name. Finished a creditable 4th over 2175m on this course last time (25 January), so warrants respect

Consistent HORTINO (2) has a particular liking for this course and distance so should fight for victory on his return here after an encouraging last-start 2nd over a similar trip at Mauquenchy earlier this month. However, HASHTAG DUB'S (8) is also capable of winning a race like this with all four shoes removed, a configuration he is rarely seen in. HIGOR DAIRPET (1) is unreliable but has the means to play a leading role from an ideal starting position, while last-start winner HERMES HAUFOR (14) isn't incapable of confirming his form either by having a say in the outcome.
Did not show her best last time out when 8th in a Gr.2 at this course over 2175m on 7 January, Will do a lot better this time around

LE CAPE (9), absent since her failure in the Prix Louis Cauchois, a Gr,3 event in October can score if fit from a break. LINADA BELLA (1) failed in Gr.2 company last time and should do a lot better in this line-up. LIPANGA DE GUEZ (6) and L'AMERICAIN (3) are also dropping to a Claimer and are capable of improvement and deserve respect in this line-up.

JASMINE DE VAU (15) clearly used the last run as preperation for this race and over this distance can bounce back to score. It is a very tough race with very few of them that can be safely ruled out. JOLIGIRL BEAUFOUR (13) has won three of her last four starts and is capable of scoring again. JOY TO GIS (6) is hard to trust but is capable of winning when in the mood. JOIE TOTALE (14) ran well last time out and has claims in this line-up
