Left a good impression in Caen qualification last December, coming in at 1'18'6. Takes on a better lot but is here more for experience and can be passed over

Qualified in 1.19.7 at Caen on 18 December. Like stablemate NEW STAR DE JALE (2), is here for a recce, and best to hold off

Wonderfully-related colt whose pedigree alone is worth backing here. Top driver gets the nod and it would be no surprise were he to win this

Qualified unexceptionally here last May, but will have been held back for good reason and has a decent chance of heading home with a cheque in his pocket

Has not been seen in public since qualifying at Caen in 1.19.7 last summer. Half-brother to the good Kassya though and Franck Nivard's expectations will be legitimately high

Was not the most fortunate in a Bordeaux Class F earlier in the month but is plainly in form and, in the hands of Matthieu Abrivard, must be taken seriously

Did everything right on debut when 2nd in a 2700m Machecoul Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Champion pilot at the helm this time and will be expected to contest the finish

Verdict
Untried but respectable in qualification during the autumn, NICOS BLEU (4) hails from a very talented family, and with Alexandre Abrivard in the bike can get straight down to business. Eric Raffin takes charge of a padded NEW STAR QUICK (12) who gave a very good account on debut earlier this month and is unlikely to go down without a fight. NALIANO D'ECHAL (10) would have been competitive in Bordeaux 10 days ago had he not been eliminated, but Matthieu Abrivard's services have been engaged in order to put things right. NORMA DE CAHOT (11) gave a fine account of herself at Nantes last November, first time out, and even though unseen since, will have been prepared for this and should prove competitive at the business end of the race.
