Showed improvement when 4th of 16 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 21 June. Leading driver retained this time and looks principal danger to GREGOR (6)

Unable to replicate his Amiens performance when 9th of 16 behind FAUCON DE L'ALBA (1) in a 2100m Vincennes Class E 2 weeks ago. Is well-positioned behind the car though and can pick up a first-5 cheque

Off the boil since last autumn. Sanctioned, when unsupported, in Vincennes race of reference and is not about to spring any surprises

Returns to racing unshod-behind after finishing a lacklustre 11th of 16 behind FAUCON DE L'ALBA (1) in a 2100m Vincennes Class E 2 weeks ago, and should prove considerably more competitive this time around

Sanctioned in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E a month ago, when clearly out of sorts. Just front shoes off this time and with Gabi Gelormini driving, can trot his way into the frame

Returns on a hat-trick after romping in a 2875m Class D here 3 weeks ago. Starts in front and has a realistic chance of pulling it off

Has merit but seldom far from losing his action, as he did in 21 June race of reference. Has no love for Enghien and will have few takers

Reliability not her strong suit but appreciates a mobile start and, despite starting wide, sports modified shoeing, and will be expected to improve on last weekend's 6th of 11 in a 2825m Chartres Class F
B Robin

Has 3 races under his belt, latterly faulting in a 3450m Agon-Coutainville Class E last weekend. David Thomain reining this time, has previously won under these conditions, and must be respected

Drops back in class after coming 5th of 11 in a valuable 3550m Niort Class A a fortnight ago. Has already won here this year, has been entrusted to Franck Nivard, and is worth keeping an eye on

Got back in the winners' circle after securing a 2875m amateurs Class F here late last month. Takes on better this time however and the draw will do him no favours

Modest trotter that finished 11th of 12 in a 2800m Class F at Moulins-la-Marche last weekend. Has nothing going for him here and will not be influencing the result

Last but one, when preparing for this, in a 2850m Vincennes amateurs Class F on 18 June. Shoes off this time but can still be disregarded

Sanctioned in a 2650m Oraison Class F last weekend. Handed an unappealing draw and is best ignored

Race Overview
Very hard to fault in his current configuration, GREGOR (6) made it 2 in a row when trouncing the opposition over longer here 3 weeks ago, is unbeaten in 3 starts for Eric Raffin, and chances are good that they can keep their unbeaten record intact. FAUCON DE L'ALBA (1) left a very good impression at Vincennes a fortnight ago and, with Yoann Lebourgeois reining this time, will be no soft touch. Very much at home on a flat track, FERIA DE LIGNY (5) is well-placed in front and, shod as she was at Vincennes late-May, will be expected to make up for her Pontchateau performance. Faithful servant for the most part, GUCCI DE BARB (4) failed to live up to expectations last time out but will be more suited to this more even surface.
Selection:
6 - 1 - 5
