By no means disgraced when 6th of 10 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes Class D last week. Has references at this level and can play a small part if she takes to the new profile

10th of 15 in a 2800m Mondoubleau Class F mid-June. Disappointing since imposing at Caen 2 months ago and even the engagement of Benjamin Rochard may not be enough to get him back on track

Sanctioned in a 2750m Ecommoy Class D on 23 June but when applied is very hard to knock. Already 3 times a winner this year and, shod to preference this time, is not to be overlooked

Steps back up in category after coming 5th of 10 in a 2875m Enghien amateurs Class F a week ago, and is not about to shake things up

3rd of 10 in a 2150m Vire Class E just last Monday. Won only once in 5 here but, in current condition, is hard to ignore. First 5

6th, a place behind IVANA DES RACQUES (5), in a 2850m Laval Class C a month back, after having gone close at Enghien. Adores Cabourg and must be taken seriously

Won over 3000m at Nantes before faulting in a 2850m Laval Class C 3 weeks ago. Damien Bonne back in the sulky and will be expected to put things right

Sanctioned early, on re-entry, in a 2800m Chartres Class E on 19 June. Has previously won under the saddle here and, with application, can again figure prominently

Superb in both codes of late, latterly winning a 2700m Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago, and is unlikely to be bested

Sanctioned in a 2525m Class F at Les Andelys last weekend. Has been specifically prepared for this and with Lebourgeois reining, will be afforded every chance

Has not been seen out since winning a 2875m Enghien monte Class E 2 months ago. Has other priorities and will not be influencing the outcome

Race Overview
An absolute revelation since switching yards late last season, ILLUSIVE GLORY (9) has been in dynamic form this season and will take all the beating. Leading the opposition is IBIS PETTEVINIERE (7) who will be driven by his handler this time after failing to confirm his Nantes victory, and the talented IDOLA (8) provided she can get off on the right foot. IXELLE BLEUE (10) has form at a superior level and the engagement of Yoann Lebourgeois will do her prospects no disservice.
Selection:
9 - 7 - 8
