Complicated type that has been reassuring of late, most recently 3rd of 18 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F a month ago, but others still easier to back

Disappointing for past 13.5 months, most recently sanctioned in a 2400m Amiens Class G 10 days ago, and can be passed over
Ecurie Sebastien Hardy

Has not been seen out since coming 5th of 14 in a 2550m Bordeaux Class F on 5 January. Remains shod for her return and others easier to back

3rd of 12, close behind JOB DU MOUCHEL (12), in a 2750m Toulouse Class E on 19 February. Barefoot this time and with application will be no pushover

hDh9h7hDh9h8
Last of 8 finishers, a place behind JEUNE IMPERATRICE (9), in a 2725m Graignes Class F on 13 December and can expect to remain friendless in the markets

12th of 14 to JOB DU MOUCHEL (12) in a 2150m Argentan Class F on 7 January. Has been reconfigured for first objective of 2025 but would still be referred a level down
Mlle C Cheradame
G

h4h0h6-hDh2hD
Sanctioned in a 2500m Bihorel-les-Rouen Class F on 9 March. Races barefoot this time and will have a lot to offer if he replicates his penultimate performance
A Prevost
F

hDhDh9hDh0h7
Capricious character returning to competition after finishing last but one in a 2725m Graignes Class F on 13 December. Front pads fitted this time but is still not a concern
Ecurie De La Frenaie
F

h3h2h5-h5h3h9
Returns to racing shod after finishing 9th of 10 behind JAVA FAST (13) in a 2200m Class E here on 10 March and chances appear limited
Raffaele Cepparulo
G

h1h3h1h1h2m5
Capable trotter making first appearance since finishing last but one in a 2800m Chartres ridden Class E mid-September. Shod for re-entry though and best to hold off
Olivier Blondeaux
G

h5h1h4h1h2h1
Very hard to fault since returning from his layoff, 2.5 weeks ago running away with a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel. Has no Caen references but the nature of his latest run bodes well for his chances
E Lelievre
F
6 yrs
h1h1h1h1h0-h3
Excellent 3rd of 13 in a 2200m Class E on comeback here on 10 March. Will have progressed for the run and has a realistic claim on the silverware
E Aumoitte
F
6 yrs
h4h1h2h3h3h1
Unraced since dominating a 2750m Cabourg Class F on 17 December. Is plainly in competition mode, thrives with her driver, and has the wherewithal to make this her own
Ph E Trible
G

h8h4h6h9h0h5
Makes first start since coming 5th of 16 behind JET DES BAUX (17) in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E in early-December. Shoes on for re-entry but is still good enough to pick up a cheque
F Pezzot
G

h9h2h8-h2hDh0
Last of 13 on re-entry in a 2675m Lisieux Class F mid-month. Still in conditioning mode and best to wait

h3h5-h9h3h4h5
Ran 4th here earlier in the month before coming 5th of 16 in a 2875m Class E at Meslay-du-Maine last week. Sports pads this time and while unlikely to get his nose in front, can still finish in the mix
Ecurie Des Baux
F
6 yrs
hDh1-hDh6hDh3
Ran a reassuring 3rd of 16 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E on 18 March. Won her only start under these conditions and, if applied, can stir things up. First 5

Race Overview
A revelation since starting to race barefoot, JACINTHE DES ULMES (14) may not have been seen out since imposing at Cabourg mid-December but is barefoot for the occasion, reunited with David Thomain, and looks a marginally better bet than JAVA FAST (13) who put in a fine performance on her recent comeback. JOB DU MOUCHEL (12) has won 3 of his last 5 and is confirmed at this level. JULIANO (5) has turned a corner recently, is 25m better off, and races barefoot for the first time this year.
Selection:
14 - 13 - 12
