Failed to live up to expectations when 4th of 8 in a 2700m Graignes monte Class F on 13 June. Here for a change of scenery and can be ignored

Sanctioned, when 2nd-favourite, in a 2400m Amiens Class E on 8 June. Arguably better on turf but can make first 5 if he stays in stride this time

10th of 11 finishers in Vire race of reference. Has better prospects in the claiming division however and can be passed over

7th of 9 finishers in a 2400m Amiens monte Class E on 8 June and will need to find significantly more

Made up for his monte sanction when 3rd of 8 in a 2550m Reims Class E mid-month but will have his work cut out this time

Improving colt that came 3rd of 8 finishers in a 2425m Angers Class E a fortnight ago and, with pads fitted this time, can play a leading role

Got off the mark in a Class F over course and distance on 10 May. Takes a hike in category but front pads fitted this time and deserves to take his chances. Minor place prospect

6th of 7 in a 2275m Nantes Class E on 3 June. Has placed just twice in 6 starts and is not about to shake things up

Showed early promise but sent for a spell after coming 9th of 12 finishers in a 2800m Argentan Class E mid-April. Will appreciate the new profile though and can start to set the record straight

Decent future prospect that trotted 2nd of 12 in a 2900m Amiens Class F on 13 June and is clearly close to his race. Chance

Useful type but has not been seen out since faulting in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 19 March. Is not without merit but stays shod and best to wait

Considerably better trotter than his 6th of 9 finishers in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class D would suggest. Sports a new configuration and it would be no surprise if he were to get his nose in front

Sanctioned in a 2700m Vire Class E a fortnight ago. Not as sharp as he was earlier in the year but it is only a question of time before he comes good again

Honest sort that came in a decent 5th of 11 finishers in a 2700m Vire Class E 2 weeks ago but, in this company, is unlikely to repeat

Race Overview
Winner on debut, L'ESPOIR DES BAUX (12) has been less performant in 2 since but is fitted with 4 pads for the first time and looks good enough to impose his will. Francois Lagadeuc will still be keeping a keen eye on LARGO DE LA BESSE (10) who has shown considerable potential and, with Yoann Lebourgeois reining, is not incapable of opening his account. LESS TIME (6) has similarly demonstrated decent aptitude and the new configuration will do his prospects no disservice. LUCKY DES GAUDINES (9) has been given time to freshen up, should take well to Mont-Saint-Michel conditions, and must not be underestimated.
Selection:
12 - 10 - 6
