7th of 14 in a 2750m Class G at La Capelle on 9 March. Regressive profile and others easier to back

6th of 10 finishers in a 2750m Class G at La Capelle 10 days ago. Has done nothing noteworthy this winter and can expect to have few friends

Capricious sort making first appearance since finishing 10th of 13 in a 2750m Cabourg Class E last July. Hind shoes off but is unlikely to cause an upset

Has acquitted himself well all winter, most recently 2nd of 14 in a 2575m Saint-Brieuc Class F on 16 February. Has a lot going for him here and the front-row start will only work in his favour. Chance

Out of the picture in all 5 starts this year, latterly sanctioned in a 3000m Nantes Class E on 22 February. Is confirmed here but still not easy to recommend

Never pushed on comeback when last of 13 in a 2450m Caen Class E 9 days ago. Sports 4 pads for the first time and although not a priority, can still get in on the action

4th of 16 behind KLASSIC DREAM (14), on re-entry, in a 2200m Caen Class E on 3 March. Will have progressed for the run, is confirmed at the venue, and warrants considerable respect

7th of 12 on comeback in a 2200m Caen Class E a fortnight ago. Will have come on for the run, gets a leading pilot for the occasion, and must be afforded respect

Put a trio of sanctions behind him to run 2nd of 16 in a 2200m Caen Class E on 3 March and, with application, has every chance of imposing

Took little time getting back in the winners' circle following the break, dominating a 2550m Reims Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Thrives racing clockwise and can figure prominently on Argentan debut

Good 3rd of 16, a place behind KLASSIC DREAM (14), in a 2200m Caen Class E on 3 March. Nicely-engaged close to the limit of earnings and Benjamin Rochard will be loathe to let the opportunity pass him by
Mme M O Gasnier
Race Overview
Complicated he may be but KLASSIC DREAM (14) reassured connections at Caen earlier in the month and will have a claim on the prize provided Yoann Lebourgeois keeps him focused. A place behind him that day, KRACK DESBOIS (16) enjoys a superb entry and even though shod can still fight out the finish. 25m better off and as good racing right-handed as left-, KEOPS DE JUMILLY (5) is barefoot for the occasion and the Eric Raffin-factor cannot be ignored. KATOUCHKA (13) has a race under her belt and, entrusted to Mathieu Mottier for the first time, is unlikely to disappoint.
