MYSTERY (1) is undefeated in 2024 after winning both starts in this category since the turn of the year and is good value to complete a hat-trick. SLEEPY SUZY (4) was rewarded for consistency with a last-start success over 1400m at this venue and is likely to pose a threat. MI C'INFILO (2) arrives in good form and physical condition after a recent 3rd and ought to make his presence felt once more, while JACK OF TRADES (3) has proven his competitiveness at this level and could get into the picture too.
Won a 1300m PSF handicap at Deauville in January but has struggled (unplaced) under a penalty in 3 subsequent outings - was 8th in a 1500m PSF handicap at Marseille-Vivuax on 14 March. Won his only start in this category last year

Claimed after making a winning debut over 1300m on the PSF at Deauville. Has regressed in 3 starts since but ought to fare better back in this grade and is open to improvement in his first outing on turf. Finished 12th in a 1500m PSF handicap at Deauville on 10 February

Didn't go unnoticed in each of her three starts last year (on turf at Deauville and Saint-Cloud, and on turf at Chantilly) but has been disappointing in both comeback outings. Finished 14th in a Quinte+ handicap on PSF over 1400m at Chantilly on 18 March

FINDERS KEEPERS (2) ought to benefit from this favourable commitment by bouncing back to form on his return to the claiming category. BEJAR (4) is lightly raced but has already shown she retains the means to be regarded as a candidate for success at this level. Like the selection, READY KING (1) won his only outing in this grade, so should play a leading role. BOMBEY (8), runner-up at Le Croise-Laroche on Friday, completes the shortlist.

TRUE VALUE (2) returned to winning ways with a start-to-finish victory over 1400m on PSF at Chantilly and is capable of following up here reverting to the turf, having won on debut on soft ground last year. GRAN HABANO (1) finished 5th on his handicap debut over 1600m on the PSF in January and represents a stable in good form, so has to be respected. Also on the right track after an encouraging 3rd last time, NOUSDEUX (3) ought to be competitive. The shortlist is completed by SUBLIME CHOPE (4) whose recent 4th at Le Mans was evidence of improvement.
Finished a disappointing 10th in a 2600m handicap at Fontainebleau on 25 March having previously run 3rd in a 3000m handicap at Nancy behind the selection. Chance if bouncing back to that form

Never worse than 3rd in seven associations with Kevin Braye. Runner-up to WELL DE VINDECY (6) over 3000m at Nancy on 10 March and is weighted to finish closer to that rival on these terms

WELL DE VINDECY (6) changed hands after the second of her consecutive 3000m Nancy victories recently and is capable of making a winning start for new connections, especially with Florent Guy engaged to ride in her bid to complete the hat-trick. Never disappointing with Kevin Braye until now, MOMOUR (3) has just reassured Nancy. Also entrusted to a talented gentleman, DAISY SENORA (4) will have pretensions, like JEWEL DE CERISY (1), who goes the distance. The form of ARMORIGENE (5) is beyond doubt.
Acquitted himself in three starts as a two-year-old, finishing 5th on each occasion and is open to any amount of improvement on his reappearance/handicap debut. Last seen at Chantilly on 11 October

HUMAN EVOLUTION (1) looked like a work in progress as a two-year-old but still acquitted himself competitively in three appearances in well-composed maiden races. He ought to have improved over the winter so it could be worth following his progress on his reappearance/handicap debut. LUCKY BERE (4) was an easy last-start winner of a 2400m claimer on this course earlier this month and is likely to fight for victory. ROI OF BAVIERE (7) lines up here in good form and physical condition with the possibility of unlocking some improvement over this extended trip, so has to be respected. MEISHO BONHEUR (2) completes the shortlist.
A winner on this course over 2400m and finished 2nd in his last appearance at the venue. Has been in good form on the PSF lately (finished 4th in a 1900m PSF handicap on 24 February) so should run well

In what is a modest handicap, it could pay to side with top-weight PRINCEDESCHAMPS (1) who has been in good form of late on the PSF but also efficient on the turf, having finished 2nd over 2400m on his last visit to this track. COLE CHOP (5) caught the eye on his reappearance after a five-month absence when finishing 3rd on heavy ground at Strasbourg and is likely to improve with the benefit of that outing, so ought to fight for victory. DARENIX (8) also bounced back to form last time by finishing 3rd over 2400m on this track and need only confirm that improvement to play a leading role. Others to consider are ABORIGENE (11) and SIBUYU (4).

Won a 1900m PSF handicap at Chantilly in December and has proven his worth/competitiveness off a 3kg higher mark by finishing 2nd and 3rd twice each in his last four starts - the latest (3rd) in a 2000m handicap on very heavy ground at Saint-Cloud on 16 March. Winning chance

KOLPLET (5) opened his account on the PSF and maintained his form/consistency on that surface under a 3kg penalty. He proved his efficiency and competitiveness on the turf by finishing 3rd in a 2000m Saint-Cliud handicap last time, so is capable of winning a race of this nature. However, he will be tested by wide-margin last-start winner ARCUBIATU (3) who won over the same course and distance (2000m at Saint-Cloud) recently. EURYTHMICAL (9), runner-up last time out, and consistent KALIFE ALAPLACE (1) ought to acquit themselves competitively too.
Consistent colt with sound references/form credentials, including a creditable last-start 5th on this course in an 1800m Quinte+ on 19 March. Keep safe

GOLDENSIM (4) has been a model of consistency throughout his career and was unlucky not to have won on the PSF last time at Chantilly. He is effective on turf and deserves to get his head in front again, so gets the nod ahead of ALCOTAN (7) despite the latter's lack of references on heavy ground. LINGOTTO (1) proved he has the means to be competitive in a race of this nature by finishing 5th in a recent Quinte+ event, so is capable of joining those rivals in the fight for victory. MY UNIVERSE (2) is out of sorts but not incapable of getting into the picture.
