Was going well before being sanctioned in a Class D over course and distance a month ago. Yoann Lebourgeois in the bike this time and will be no easy touch if he keeps his charge trotting

Better than his 3rd of 10 finishers in a Class D over course and distance a month ago would suggest. Is plainly close to his race and can impose

Quality trotter that has not been seen out since finishing 11th of 15 in a 2100m Class C here late-October. Front pads fitted and poses no danger

3rd over 2850m before coming 2nd of 10 finishers in a Class D over course and distance a month ago, beating JOLICOEUR (4). In similar shape, can trot his way onto the podium

4th of 14 in a 2850m Class C here on 28 February. Has never disappointed over 2700m here and can challenge for a place in the frame

Won a Class D here on 17 February but lacklustre 10th of 14 behind OSCAR VAN HALBEEK (7) in a 2850m Class C here on 28 February. Is not the easiest to gauge but is not to be written off either

4th of 12, on return to competition, in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche 2 weeks ago but can expect to be found wanting at the business end of affairs

Serious type that made up for Nantes blip when close 2nd in a 2850m Laval Class D a fortnight ago. Has won 4 of last 7 and should logically contest the finish

Seldom disappoints when focused, most recently 2nd of 9 in a 2875m Enghien Class E 2 weeks ago. Enjoys a terrific entry and is not incapable of setting the cat among the pigeons

Race Overview
A host of good horses here but it is difficult to ignore how well JOLICOEUR (4) has been acquitting himself recently and he is due another win soon. HASHTAG SIMONI (6) finished just ahead of him last time out and should again figure prominently, but he may first have to defer to the reinvigorated ILIO MANNETOT (10) who has hardly put a foot wrong since the autumn. Consistently in the thick of things these days, OSCAR VAN HALBEEK (7) pleasantly surprised 3 weeks ago and must be taken more seriously.
