Comment: Produced a good effort to finish third at ParisLongchamp over 1m (handicap) last month; lightly raced (this just his fifth race); has shown some ability, knocking on the door on occasions; in the mix as runners from this yard are always worth noting.

12/1

Comment: Came home seventh, beaten 8l, in a Listed race at Saint-Cloud in September upped to 1m4f; managed three wins in his last four outings; has had some time off; now dropping in class and should be thereabouts.

Teardrop Explodes

Jockey: Christopher Raimbault Trainer: Ludovic Gadbin Age/Wt: 4/8-0 F: 718-08 OR: 37

12/1

Comment: Successful in three of her 17 career starts; suited by going this way around; no impression when eighth of 12 over 1m2f at Lyon-Parilly (conditions race) 40 days ago; not hard to turn elsewhere.

Shirbawi

Jockey: Soufiane Saadi Trainer: Adrien Fouassier Age/Wt: 4/9-2 F: 84-310 OR: 32

16/1

Comment: Was tailed off despite being fancied in March (Senonnes-Pouance) in a handicap; going for a third success having hit the target last time; searching for his third career win; despite that success last time, others more persuasive.

Incremental

Jockey: Ambre Molins Trainer: Gianluca Bietolini Age/Wt: 5/8-8 F: 171-94

16/1

Comment: Missed the frame (beaten 6l into fourth) running for the second time for this trainer at Compiegne two weeks ago in a claimer; proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fourth win); easy enough to take on and he hasn't had any luck with the draw.

Haviassor

Jockey: Pierre Bazire Trainer: Nicholas Le Roch Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: /300/6 OR: 32

25/1

Comment: Has won at this track; form has an uneven look to it; held when sixth beaten 5½l at Le Lion d'Angers over 1m4f (conditions race) four weeks ago; probably unlikely to trouble the principals and has been dealt a poor draw.

25/1

Comment: Has achieved 17 wins from 68 career runs; finished towards the rear of 16 at Angers 13 days ago in a handicap; not easy to fancy.

Jockey: Hugo Lebouc Trainer: Thierry Mercier Age/Wt: 7/8-11 F: 906009 OR: 30

66/1

Comment: Tailed off at Nantes over 1m7½f (handicap) last month; poor form of late a cause for concern and slumped a bit since winning a handicap at Le Mans in November; no luck with gate position again so hard enough to fancy.

The First Dance

Jockey: Tony Piccone Trainer: Fabrice Chappet Age/Wt: 4/8-13 F: 3-2000 OR: 34

Comment: 12th of 16 beaten 6l (ParisLongchamp) upped to this distance last month; this is her level; easy to see her making an impression if replicating the best of her form.
