Disappointing on the whole for some time, most recently sanctioned in a 2650m Saint-Galmier Class F a fortnight ago, and would be preferred racing left-handed

Put a pair of sanctions behind him when 3rd of 14 in a Class E over course and distance 10 days ago and will be dangerous if David Thomain manages to keep him trotting

Missed out by little for victory 3 weeks ago in a 2825m Cordemais Class E. Unlikely to repeat but can still pick up a cheque

6th of 17, on 2nd start back, in a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Top pilot in the bike this time and from the front row can challenge for a spot in the mix

Back under harness after being sanctioned in a monte Class D over course and distance on 3 March. Faithful for the most part and will be expected to play a prominent role

In the frame in 2 of last 3, latterly 3rd of 16 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 12 February. Ideally-entered on front row but more a minor place prospect this time around

Sanctioned in last 3, latterly a 2100m Vincennes Class D a month ago. Sports shoes for the occasion and is not a concern

Quality individual that ran 2nd of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D a month ago. Shoes on this time though and will have other priorities
A Hubert

Ended last year with 2 straight successes, latterly a 2100m Vincennes Class D mid-November. Incurs the penalty, and races shod, and best to hold off

Serious trotter but has not been seen out since May 2024 and is going to need the run

Showed the limits of her capacity when last of 9 in a 2175m Vincennes Class C 3 months ago. On 2nd line and can expect to have few friends

10th of 15 on re-entry in a Class D over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Has talent to burn, races barefoot for the occasion, and if focused, can figure prominently
Ecurie Supreme

Unseen since comfortably winning a 2175m Vincennes Class D on 13 December. Has a lot going for him here and can win this if he turns
J A C Vanduffel

Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2950m Toulouse Class B late-September. Is otherwise an excellent servant and, if fit, can make this his own
Ecurie Hunter Valley

Improving type making first start since coming 3rd of 15 in a 2700m Vincennes Class A late-January. Shoes fitted this time though and best to keep one's powder dry

Race Overview
Winner of four of his last six starts, KEL PRESTANCE (13) may not have been seen out since December and has no right-handed references, but she is fitted with pads again and the engagement of Benjamin Rochard may be just the ticket. Similarly returning from a break, KARNAC WOOD (14) is more at home racing clockwise and looks the main threat. Reliability may not be his strong suit but KARAT DEFF (2) put on quite the show here recently and the 25m head-start can make all the difference. KANKAL (5) enjoys a terrific entry on the front line and returns to the harness code with a realistic chance of making the frame.
