Although sanctioned in her last three (7) ELLA DE BAFFAIS is still a quality element at this level and with four shoes off for the first time can get straight back in the game. The reinvigorated (12) ESPANA HAUFOR won in good order over shorter at Vincennes late last month and will again be in with a decent shout. (11) ESPERANCE CELESTE won unchallenged at Laval recently and must also be afforded respect. (9) EBENE PIYA showed marked improvement last time and can challenge for a spot on the podium.

(10) CHALIMAR DE GUEZ has gone close three times since the turn of the year and looks eminently capable of having his way this time. He will however be pitted against the ultra-consistent (8) CABAN PRIOR who vies to exact revenge for their last encounter at Vincennes. Impressive in her last two when barefoot (7) BREEDER'S CUP has shown a liking for Enghien and can finish in the mix. (2) SHOGUN won his last two before trotting fifth in a Gr.3 mid-February and must be afforded respect.

After a productive winter meeting which included a Gr.3 success Jean-Pierre Thomain has found a good entry for (11) DIABLO D'HERFRAIE who looks to have the measure of his elders here. Very useful on a flat surface (13) CHO OYU VEDAQUAIS has been showing his form lately and looks the principal threat. Solid on his only start at the venue (4) CHICAGO DREAM outclassed the opposition at Graignes late last month and also appears to be in with a decent shout. (8) CARMIN seldom disappoints when applied and being reunited with Raffin can only work to his advantage.
Winner of his first three before finishing 5th on debut in the capital. Has not been seen out for three months and will need the run

Although still a maiden (5) FAWLEY BUISSONAY consistently finishes in the thick of things. He was very unlucky at Vincennes last time but has an excellent opportunity to get off the mark here. The hardy (10) FLEURON D'ACADIE has shown marked improvement since his return to competition and given his liking for Enghien can play a leading role this time. Sanctioned more often than not (12) FOREVER JIEL is still a quality element at this level and going first time barefoot can make all the difference. (11) FIGARO VICI has not been seen out for over two months but is better than most here and must be respected.

Confirmed at this level and winner of her only start at the venue (12) ALESIA DES BORDES goes barefoot for the occasion and despite the handicap can win this. (10) CHIPIE DES BORDES showed her form at Pont Chateau recently and also looks to be in with a realistic shout. (1) BIG BEN FRANCA can prove tricky but he has a good record in the amateur category and in present form looks a player from the front line. (2) DESTIN DE STAR has been in excellent shape this winter and with stride in check will have his chances. (15) CARAVELLE should be fully fit by now and going barefoot will do her prospects no disservice.
Quality element in the other code but disappointing last time. Nivard in charge on this occasion and in this class can pick up some stake money

Considering some of the performances the erratic (2) AS DORE put in last season and his mid-January effort across town (2) AS DORE looks thoroughly capable of lifting a race of this nature. That said (3) ARA D'OSTAL has finished second in her last three under similar conditions and looks the principal threat. Impressive in the category late last year (5) VIKING DREAM finished fifth to her last time out and after a short breather can narrow the gap. (4) VIVALDI D'AMBOISE drops significantly down the class ladder and if he cannot perform at this level his time is up. (1) VICOMTE D'HAVANE switches codes for the first time since the autumn and at least on paper should be able to get in on the action.

After having shown considerable class under harness (15) FLEUR DE LOIRON went on to trounce the opposition on ridden debut at Vincennes two weeks ago and can double her money. Lebourgeois will however be wary of the reinvigorated (6) FLAMBOYANT BLUE who has been transformed since starting to race barefoot. (14) FOLIE MIX is never far from breaking stride but she left a good impression at Vincennes last weekend and with application can go far. (11) FLUO MESLOIS is a delicate soul but not without merit and should appreciate the Enghien profile. (12) FAKIR DU PAOU opened his ridden account late January and will justifiably garner support.

Sanctioned in his first two going right handed (6) GALLANT WAY more than made amends with a superb victory over shorter at Vincennes late January and with application should have this in the bag. (12) GOOD BOY LIGNERIES is less fortunate with the draw but imposed with ease at Laval last week and over this even surface looks a player. Unbeaten in both public appearances so far (5) GOOD FRIDAY makes his first start for almost three months but nevertheless looks competitively well in. (3) GASTON DU ROC has turned a corner in recent weeks and should not be too far off the mark.
