Has done nothing but progress lately, most recently running 2nd of 16 in a 2700m Vire Class F early this month but represents more a minor place chance this time

4th of 11, on first start for 9 months, in a 2875m Argentan Class E on 16 February. Will have come on for the race, is barefoot for the first time, and the draw will do her chances no disservice

Returns to a track she adores after running 8th of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class E conditioner last week. Successful on lone start with Francois Lagadeuc and is well-positioned to give this a good go. Chance

Gave a fine account at Agen before losing her action in a 2750m Toulouse Class E a fortnight back. Nicely-positioned in front but is being aimed too high

Promising future prospect that ran 4th of 13 in a Class F over course and distance 2 weeks ago, her first start for 8.5 months. Will have progressed for the run and from front row can impose

Failed to confirm Mauquenchy performance when sanctioned in a 2550m Reims Class E last Saturday. Form is not in doubt though, sports a fresh configuration and, with some luck in running, can pick up a cheque

Complicated filly that comfortably won a 2275m Nantes Class F mid-February. Has pulled a bad number but is barefoot again, with her handler in the bike, and is not to be underestimated

Quality element but sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2875m Argentan Class E on 16 February. Should appreciate Caen profile though and with application will not be far off the mark

Unseen since completing the double last September, winning a 2550m Dieppe Class E. Forced to break from 2nd row but is unbeaten with Yoann Lebourgeois who will bid to keep that fact relevant

Unexceptional so far this year, latterly 6th of 13 behind LA FOULE (6) in a Class F over course and distance 2 weeks ago, and the draw will not help her cause

Race Overview
A good lot of fillies here but preference nevertheless goes to the progressive LA FOULE (6) who gave a good account on her re-entry here earlier in the month. Winner of 2 on the trot before being sent for a holiday, LAETITIA MONTVASON (12) is first-time barefoot, and if fully-fit, can give Julien Dubois' charge a run for her money. Better-placed behind the car, and unbeaten in two Caen starts, LADY DE VANDEL (3) is competitively-shod for the occasion and warrants respect. LIBRE SAUTONNE (17) has pulled a shocker of a draw but imposed at La Rochelle recently, is barefoot for the first time, and Mathieu Mottier will endeavour to complement Matthieu Abrivard's good work.
