Takes first competitive monte steps after a poor streak under harness, sanctioned mid-June in a 2800m Mondoubleau Class F and is not about to spring a surprise

5th of 11 finishers, at 72/1, on monte debut in a 2825m Vire Class F just over 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but hind shoes off and, with application, can play a small role

Disappointing in both codes, most recently sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes harness Class F, and will have few, if any, takers

Has demonstrated good aptitude for the discipline, most recently 5th of 11 in a 2450m Caen Class E mid-June, but has considerable room for manoeuvre and looks a solid place prospect this time

Sanctioned in last 10, 8 this season, latterly a 2825m Sable-sur-Sarthe harness Class F last weekend, and makes just her 2nd monte appearance with limited prospects

Outclassed the opposition in a 2475m Niort Class F on 23 June. Top jockey onboard this time and can make it 2 on the trot

Sanctioned as often as not, most recently a 2800m Chartres Class F on 19 June, but has ample ability and will not go home empty-handed if Florian Desmigneux manages to keep her trotting

Sanctioned in a 2675m harness Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel last week. Hails from a yard firing on all cylinders, and is not without a chance of getting straight down to business

Goes barefoot this time after finishing 7th of 9 finishers in a 2425m Angers Class E early last month. Tends to go well for Arthur Rebache and should logically start to redeem herself
Ecurie Des Vives Terres

Put in a good final effort to come 3rd of 9 in a 2600m Nancy Class F a week ago. Is clearly making progress and is in with a realistic shout of making the frame

Debuts in the discipline after coming 8th of 11 in a 2200m Caen harness Class E mid-June. Not the worst horse here but chances still slim

Race Overview
A very different horse when barefoot under the saddle, KAIA DU HAMEL (6) led the opposition a merry dance 12 days ago and with Benjamin Rochard in the irons this time, has every chance of doubling up. Sanctioned in her last two, KRILLE ELLIS (8) switches code for the first time, stays shod for the occasion, but has done enough under harness to be considered a serious player. KALIE GEMA (4) has yet to get off the mark but she has shown significant potential and should take well to Cabourg conditions. Similarly still a maiden, KALIE DU BLEQUIN (10) nevertheless always gives her best and, barefoot again, is not going to be far off the mark.
