Ran 2nd on comeback in Lyon before finishing last of 11 in a 2950m Vichy Class D 11 days ago. Goes barefoot this time, is reunited with Alexandre Abrivard, and should not be far from the action

8th of 16 in a 2150m Enghien Class C on 19 April. Marc Sassier could not have asked for a better entry though and, already twice a winner here this season, must be afforded respect

Out of the picture in 2024, HOBBES (10) got back in the game here a fortnight ago and in similar shape can wrap this up. Franck Nivard will still be mindful of the remarkably consistent HURRICANE CARTER (3) who will be competitively shod following a pair of solid return runs, and the complicated but talented GRAND ROI KALOUMA (7) who won in style here on 25 April. Exceptional so far this season, FALCOM DU BOCAGE (2) has yet to be tested over 2700m here but has taken well to the main track and will be no pushover.

Excellent 3rd in an Enghien Gr.2 last month before missing out by little over course and distance 6 days later, LOVER MAN (9) returns to racing barefoot and is going to take all the beating. Leading the opposition's charge, LOVE LETTER (13) most recently ran 2nd in a Gr.3 under these conditions and has been entrusted to Eric Raffin for the first time. Italian raider FAKIR ROC (12) has not been seen out since October but will be reined by Matthieu Abrivard for the occasion and must be taken seriously. Winner under these conditions earlier in the month, LANCIER DU GOUTIER (3) sports modified shoeing and is not to be underestimated.
Sanctioned in last 5 starts, most recently a 2800m Chartres Class F on 7 May. Pads fitted this time and has no possible chance

A good servant when focused, IGUANE DE CAPONET (13) has a return race under his belt, is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois, is shod to preference, and can impose. The pair will still come under pressure from the well-entered ISIS D'HERFRAIE (15) who has won her last 2 in the day's configuration, and ISYBOY DE CINGLAIS (12) whose driver, Jean-Michel Bazire, will be out to put things right. Not once out of the frame in her last 10 barefoot starts, IZIA DE MONGIVAL (8) has grown into the Vincennes 2700m profile and is unlikely to let the side down.

Always well-regarded at home, NELSON GREENWOOD (10) has come into himself over recent months and a repeat of his Enghien performance would see him double his money. 4th to him that day when bidding for the hat-trick, CAVIAR FROM MINE (11) leads the opposition in company with the superbly-engaged and barefoot JUST A LADY (DEN) (16) who imposed under these conditions in February. EXPRESS D'ARC (4) has won 2 of his 3 starts over course and distance and drops in category with a good hand to play.

Winner of his last 7 races, most recently a Gr.2 with authority, it will take something special to beat INEXESS BLEU (7). Leading the charge behind him are the tough GASPAR D'ANGIS (8) who is back home following a fruitless trip to Gothenburg, and the useful INO DU LUPIN (4) who showed his form despite being sanctioned at Caen 2 weeks ago. FACE TIME (5) ran a fine 2nd to the Abrivard's horse last month and with application can again finish in the mix.

Complicated he may be but already 4 times a winner this year, JOSELITO DU VIVIER (5) returns to Paris on a 3-timer and with application can succeed. That said, JAGUAR DE LAUMAC (6) returned to winning ways late last month and a repeat is not out of the question. Unbeaten in 2 starts under these conditions, JACK DU CEBE (1) made it look easy last time and must be taken seriously. Winner at Caen earlier in the month, and confirmed over 2700m here, JOJO TOONS (10) will not be far off the mark.
Lost his maiden tag at La Capelle early-April before coming 3rd, after running out of steam, in a Class D over track and trip 10 days ago. Will have come on for the run and should prove significantly more competitive. Claim

2nd of 8 on comeback over 2100m at Victoria Park a fortnight ago. Entrusted to Benjamin Rochard this time, will have progressed for the run and will be dangerous if he gets the trip

Ran 2nd at Pontchateau before opening his account in a 2475m Royan Class C on 4 May. Is plainly a progressive sort and does not make the long trip only to return home empty-handed

Runner-up in 3 of last 4 starts, latterly a 2200m Class D here mid-April. Unlikely to get off the mark this time but should nevertheless hold his own

Opened his account at Angers on 2 April, then repeated in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class D 3 weeks later. Comes to Paris fresh and can make a big impact

Ran 2nd at Pontchateau before repeating in a 2850m Class D over the inner track here early last month. Has not been seen since but with Alexandre Abrivard back in the bike should not be written off

Got back in the game in a Class C over course and distance on 6 May when 3rd of 9. Is not about to get his nose in front but is not devoid of ability and can play a small part

Winner at La Capelle before leaving a good impression on his recent Vincennes debut, MACBETH (1) returns to the venue with morale intact and a good hand to play. Franck Nivard will still be keeping a watchful eye on the promising MINK BOKO (5) who gave a convincing account on his comeback earlier in the month. MISTER CHARM (9) makes his metropolitan debut on a hat-trick and can expect considerable support, while MY DREAM (6) has been climbing the category-ladder and has earned the right to take his chances.
Fine future prospect that demonstrated her quality when successful in a 2800m Chartres Class E earlier in the month, and looks eminently capable of confirming

Won on re-entry at Reims mid-April then ran 4th of 7 finishers in a Class C under these conditions 3 weeks later. Not a priority but is worth monitoring all the same

Not the sharpest when 5th of 7 finishers, a place behind MYRIAM D'AZUR (3), in a Class C under these conditions 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly on the way up though and in this field looks a respectable place chance

Disqualified for interference after having been denied a run in a Class C under these conditions a month ago. Has freshness on her side and will be no soft touch if Arnaud Desmottes keeps her out of harm's way

A thorough professional to date, MODE VANILLE (1) tenaciously stayed on to score at Chartres earlier in the month and has the profile to win a race of this nature. Nicely-engaged here, MY HAPPY STORY (9) moves over to the main track after pleasing here early last month and is unlikely to go down easily. MODE DU VALLON (4) has encouraged lately and while unlikely to lose her maiden status can still challenge for a place in the frame, as can MARINA JAMES (5) provided she is kept out of trouble.
