Got off the mark at Gournay a month ago before running 6th of 12 in a 3000m Class H at Le Neuborg 2.5 weeks ago. Is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois though and must be taken more seriously

Returns to a track he adores after finishing last but one in a 2200m Caen Class F on 31 May. Is proven at this level and looks a serious proposition

Starts for first time since running 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2400m Amiens Class F on 7 April. Plainly has potential and if sufficiently tuned-up can finish in the mix

Showed his form at Reims before being sanctioned in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F late last month. Will appreciate the return to a hard surface and, plainly in competition-mode, represents a decent place prospect

Won 2 of last 3, most recently a 2750m Class F at Le Grand-Fougeray on 29 May. Will not be inconvenienced by return to a hard surface and, given the entry, must be considered a player

A thorough professional since his March debut, LE PRINCE DE JYR (11) recently imposed on his first start with Eric Raffin in the bike and will be justifiably well-supported for a repeat. That said, LAMA DE CORDAY (7) boasts a fine Vire record and will not be disposed of easily. Nicely-entered here, barefoot, and very hard to fault, LE BOIS JOSSELYN (13) can again finish close. Barefoot for just the second time LUXURY DU DOUAROU (12) will be expected to make amends for faulting at Rambouillet.
Left a very good impression when 3rd of 8 finishers in a 2875m Argentan Class E a month ago. Has done nothing but improve and must be afforded significant respect

Most convincing at Amiens a fortnight ago, KOKA RIGHT (14) has to incur the penalty but is still very easy to like here. Ideally-engaged at the limit of earnings, KENAVO TUILERIE (16) excels with Eric Raffin and looks a serious proposition. Better than recent results would suggest, KANDAR JIEL (15) sports modified shoeing and must be taken seriously, as should the progressive KOBRA JENILOU (1) who enjoys a 25m head start.
Made up for 3 straight sanctions when 3rd of 12 in a 2700m Graignes Class F 11 days ago. Shoes on this time though and best to keep one's powder dry

A late filly that imposed smartly on debut 2 months ago, LILI MARLEEN (5) will have progressed for the run and from the first row can keep her unbeaten status intact. Just 25 Euros from incurring the handicap, LA PRODIGE (10) is plainly close to her race, is first-time barefoot, and looks the main threat. LINA DE BASSIERE (14) is difficult to knock when focused and even from the 2nd line will be expected to contest the finish. LUTINE DU CEDRE (7) is never the easiest of fillies to handle but is by no means devoid of ability and, shod as she was here in May, must not be underestimated.
Back in the professional ranks after coming 5th of 16 in a 2575m Saint-Brieuc amateurs Class F on 14 June. Enjoys a front row break this time and while not a priority, will nonetheless generate some interest

Although complicated at the best of times, it is hard to ignore how HAUTBRION COLMI (15) has performed in more elevated fields; he enjoys an entry made in heaven and should not be too hastily-condemned for being somewhat spirited lately. He will still be pitted against the remarkably consistent HADES DE L'ITON (10) who has won 6 on the trot this year, and IDEFIX DE CENTULE (11) who returns to the venue with all the confidence of his handler. HELIOS SOMOLLI (13) may have raced just once this year but is a tough nut when focused and merits respect. IN LOVE DE JIEL (8) put in a good effort behind Charles-Antoine Mary's horse in Paris last month and warrants respect.
A write-off so far this year, most recently sanctioned in a 2450m Caen Class E 2 weeks ago, and can be confidently disregarded

A fine servant when focused, and unbeaten with Eric Raffin in the bike, JAGUAR FLORAL (11) is in with a realistic shout of making up for his Caen sanction. In cracking form, barefoot for the occasion, and unbeaten here, JAVA FAST (9) looks the main danger, although JAMAIS (7) has nothing to prove in this category and will be no easy touch. JASON BLUE (6) sports a new configuration and will not be far from the action if Francois Lagadeuc keeps him trotting.

Unplaced in 2 after running 2nd here 2 months ago, most recently a 3125m Ranes Class F on 9 June, and is not about to spring any surprises
Last of 12 when preparing for this in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 3 weeks ago. Benefits from a front-line start and will be competitive for a place on the podium

Sanctioned, on return from a spell, in a 2825m Durtal Class F on 1 June. Pads fitted for the occasion but still not an obvious choice

By no means disgraced when 4th of 10 in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Has not imposed since January but is patently in good shape and deserves to be taken seriously

KEJAIME DE HOUELLE (13) may never be far from losing her action but she was eye-catching at Caen recently and, provided she stays in stride, may just have the measure of KAROLINE CADE (14) who put in a courageous effort at Angers a fortnight ago, and the reconfigured and well-engaged KALANSKA (15) who ran 2nd here last month. Winner here last season and 25m better off, KISS ME FIRST (9) should be fit by now and, reunited with Francois Lagadeuc who imposed that day, will be no shrinking violet.
Qualified in 1'209 at Caen last August. David Thomain in the bike but is unlikely to give his colt a hard race

Won smartly on debut before being sanctioned in a 2425m Angers Class E a fortnight back, but can more than redeem himself if Herve Langlois gets him off on the right foot

Honest sort that was surprisingly below-par when 6th of 7 in a 2400m Amiens Class E in late-May. Trainer back in the bike but still no more than a minor place chance

Suffered interference, coming 9th of 10 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class D 2 weeks ago. Yet to deliver racing clockwise but still has the wherewithal to get a look-in

After getting off the mark at Laon earlier in the month, MAGISTER (8) goes clockwise for the first time and can make it 2 in a row. Theo Duvaldestin will still be mindful of the well-engaged and progressive MONSIEUR DE VORE (10) who has been entrusted to Eric Raffin for the occasion, and MAGIC CASH (4) who was unluckily sanctioned at Angers. MIGHTY DREAM (5) has started to make good on his promise and makes his Vire bow with a good hand to play.
Qualified in 1'181 at Caen last December. Hails from a good yard and while unlikely to win this should nonetheless hold her own"

Got off the mark at first time of asking, winning a 2150m Ranes Class G on 18 May. Takes on a better lot this time but comes here with morale intact and should not be overlooked

Although sanctioned twice after imposing here last month, MOUNTAIN (8) will be partnered by the champion driver this time and can win this if she stays in stride. The Duvaldestin-trained MEGAFLECHE (14) however has shown considerable promise and will be no pushover. MERRY DE MALABRY (12) is close to getting off the mark and with Franck Nivard in the bike will justifiably garner support. Oddly below-par at Laval recently, MOON DES ARRIS (13) goes clockwise for the first time and is unlikely to disappoint if she turns.
