Looked very ordinary in qualification here last October when posting 1'20'5 and is unlikely to generate much interest
Didier Legay

Unexceptional 1'19'8 in qualification here last autumn. Has had time to mature but not easy to recommend first time out
Ecurie Thierry Raffegeau

Qualified in 1'18'2 under the saddle here a month ago. Looks an interesting future prospect and should be able to give this a good go. First 5

Sanctioned on debut in a 2300m harness Class F at Argentan on 16 February. Should take well to new discipline and with Guillaume Martin in the irons, will be afforded every chance

9th of 10 behind MOJITO D'AXEL (11) in a harness Class F under these conditions on 3 March and will struggle to make his mark

Sanctioned in all 3 to date, latterly a 2550m Reims Class F on re-entry 2.5 weeks ago. Talented jockey in the irons here and, with application, will be a serious proposition

6th of 9 in a 2425m Angers harness Class F on 29 January. Looks a decent monte prospect and Benjamin Rochard can expect to make the frame this time
Mlle Sandrine Bellessort

Indisciplined before being sanctioned in a 2250m Enghien Class D a fortnight ago. Is patently capable though and the engagement of Mathieu Mottier should be just what the doctor ordered. Claim

Takes on a less-arduous mission than he did at Enghien 2 weeks ago when last of 6 finishers in a 2250m Class D, and a place on the podium is well within his reach

Switches code after faulting in a harness Class F over course and distance a week ago. Is not devoid of ability though and can pick up a cheque if focused

Placed at Argentan before coming 7th of 10 finishers in a harness Class F over track and trip 2.5 weeks ago. Theo Peltier gets the nod and will be one to keep an eye on

Race Overview
Although sanctioned when heavily-backed on his recent ridden bow, MERCANTOUR (8) has been entrusted to Mathieu Mottier this time and can dominate if he keeps his action together. The spirited but promising MONTANA WOOD (6) gets to try his hand under the saddle and Alexis Collette can expect to finish close if his colt behaves. MENDELEIEV (9) will find the this task an easier one and looks a marginally better bet than MISTRAL KERYANN (7) who has not raced since late-January.
Selection:
8 - 6 - 9
