Fast-finishing winner of a 2575m Agen-Le Passage Class E mid-February. Ideally-positioned behind the car and, with Gabi Gelormini back in the bike, can repeat

Made it 3 straight sanctions after faulting in a 2450m Caen Class D on 3 March. Is plainly in shape though, starts in front, and will not be far off the mark if Alexis Collette can keep him focused

Returns to the provinces after having run 4th of 14 in a 2100m Vincennes amateurs Class F late-February. Forced to break wide though, has never delivered under harness here, and a minor place prospect at best

Race Overview
It took numerous runs and 15 months since leaving Scandinavia before MAGGIORE (SWE) (3) opened her French account, but was so impressive at Agen that she could well confirm. At Cherbourg last month though, JOKER DE CHOISEL (1) looked like the horse he was last spring and even though starting on the rail, still looks the main threat. A reconfigured SIDNEY CELEBER (15) has been handed a tough draw but is significantly better than his formcard would suggest and Eric Raffin will be keen to set the record straight. Also on the back row, INDIC (12) has not been seen out since September but is plainly in race-mode and will be competitive for the win.
