Sanctioned in a 3250m Saumur Class F on 9 March. Not as sharp as he was as a 4yo but considering the potential, should not be ruled out

5th of 10 when preparing for this in a 2900m Challans Class F 10 days ago. Hind shoes off this time and from the front row will be dangerous

Moderate type returning to the discipline after being sanctioned on comeback in a 2675m harness Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 10 days ago and has no possible chance

Last of 8 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class D on 3 March. Starts in front but has never shown much aptitude for the ridden code and cannot be considered a concern

Back under the saddle after making short work of a 2800m Vire harness Class F on 9 February and, if applied, can take advantage of the front-line start and impose

Left quite the impression when victorious in a 2175m Vincennes Class E on 1 February. Mathieu Mottier in the irons this time and pulling off the double would be no surprise

Ran 3rd under the saddle at Chateaubriant prior to repeating in a 2900m Challans harness Class G 10 days ago. Races unshod-behind for first time and even from back row can get a look-in

Has done nothing but improve this winter, latterly 3rd of 7 finishers, a place behind JARKA DE BEYLEV (17), in a 2625m Agen-Le Passage Class E on 3 March. Is new to the venue but is still very easy to like

Has 3 runs under his belt since the layoff but coming 9th of 16 in a 2675m harness Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 10 days ago will not cut the mustard, reconfigured or not

Debuts in the discipline after being sanctioned in a 2700m harness Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 24 February. Has been reconfigured and with Eric Raffin in the saddle can be assured a competitive ride

Never far from faulting but received a resounding thumbs-up for coming 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2625m Agen-Le Passage Class E on 3 March and with stride in check can again finish close

Enjoys a fine entry here but has no ridden references and being sanctioned in a 2800m Vire Class E 2.5 weeks ago does nothing to improve his plight

Race Overview
It took changing stables for KENENISA SKILL (12) to lose her maiden tag but she did so with determination early last month and looks thoroughly capable of doubling up. That being said, KRUNCH DE L'ITON (7) returns to the discipline after winning under harness and enjoys a 25m head-start. Also on the first line, KERGRIST (4) will be shod to preference and, with application, will be no shrinking violet. Not once out of the frame in his last 4 starts, KENZO D'EVA (14) should take well to the new profile and can expect to be well-supported.
