Showed tenacity to win under these conditions a month back, beating Joy de Phyt’s, but in the absence of Eric Raffin looks a rank outsider

Gave a fine account on re-entry, coming 4th, a place behind JALNA DES HAYES (6), in a 2675m Lisieux Class F mid-month. Hind shoes off but others still easier to back

Well-supported when sanctioned in a 2850m Class F at Maure-de-Bretagne a fortnight back. Starts in front, returns to racing unshod-all-4, and could yet get a look-in

Did not enjoy the best of trips when 11th in 13 March race of reference. Boasts an excellent strike-rate though and, with more luck in running, will not be far from the action

Got back in the game with comfortable success in a 2725m Graignes Class E a fortnight ago. Just front pads fitted this time and the handicap will do her no favours

After 3 Vincennes sanctions she came good in a 2650m Class E here on 7 March. Reunited with Eric Raffin and even from the back row will be no pushover

Oddly below-par when 4th in a 2650m Bordeaux Class E 3 weeks ago. Consistently gives her best and debuts at Laval with legitimate ambition

A particularly competitive event this but preference still goes to the in-form JAVA D'ANAMA (14) who, when focused, has the measure of the field. Anthony Barrier will still be wary of a barefoot JOY DU RIF (12) who will have come on for her excellent re-entry run, and JUSTICE BRICKELL (9) who can be forgiven her recent effort. JALNA GIRL (15) returned to winning ways here earlier in the month and, although yet to win with Eric Raffin, she still looks a player.
Excellent in first 2 of the year before being sanctioned, following interference, in a 2700m Vincennes Class B on 1 March, but will put on a good show if Julien Dubois can keep her out of trouble

Unable to confirm his Cagnes success when 6th of 15 in a 2850m Vincennes Class B on 1 February. Takes a dip in category though, has references under these conditions, and can give JAMAICA D'AURCY (3) a run for her money

A mare of considerable ability, JAMAICA D'AURCY (3) has been sanctioned in her last two but goes unshod behind for the first time and, from the front row can win this. HEDIC GEMA (17) is 25m worse off but his form is not in question and, in this category, looks competitive for the spoils. Barefoot this time, IGREC DE CELLAND (13) has a race under his belt following the break and even though incurring the handicap, should still prove a decent place prospect. Versatile, in-form, and well-placed in front, IDEAL DANCER (4) must considered a serious proposition.
Ended last season on a low note and has picked up where he left off, latterly 8th in a 2200m Caen Class E on 21 March. Is by no means the worst horse here though and will have his supporters

Thierry Duvaldestin sends out his up-and-coming KASH QUICK (11) who secured the hat-trick at Caen earlier in the month and who looks eminently capable of taking his win-rate to 80%. He will still be opposed by KAZAN BEACH (14) who races unshod-behind after reassuring at Caen 3 weeks ago, and KING D'HERMES (3) who climbs the class-ladder after imposing here last time out. Defeated for the first time in his 4-starts career on re-entry here recently, KERU DE LOU (8) will be considerably more competitive this occasion.
3rd of 9 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class F on 18 March. Hard to fault when focused and, with stride in check, can make it into the first 5

JULIA DU CHERISAY (9) has done nothing but progress since switching back to the monte discipline and is not incapable of confirming her Lisieux success. JEWEL D'HERMES (10), however, showed significant promise last season and, even though unraced since December, he is barefoot for the occasion and can make a big splash. JALISCA DE CHENU (8) may not be to everyone's taste but she is dangerous when focused and Mathieu Mottier has maintained faith. JAMAICA PHEDO (4) has turned a corner lately and even with a revised configuration looks a respectable place chance.
Returns to a track he likes in search of the hat-trick, most recently scoring well in a 2825m Cordemais Class F but, in this company, will have to settle for a minor place cheque at best

Three notables in the running here with a marginal preference going to IDEAL BOY (2) who deserves to be rewarded with success following some fine performances. That being said, INDIEN DE FONTAINE (14) took no time getting back to his best, appreciates these flatter tracks and, competitively-shod, will have his chances. As good in one code as the other lately, IBIS PETTEVINIERE (8) comes here fresh and can make up for his Vincennes sanction. HERBU DU FERRON (15) has not put a foot wrong since his autumn layoff and looks best of the rest.

Has merit but not easy to handle, most recently sanctioned in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E 11 days ago, when clearly going well. Others easier to back though

Flattering 4th of 5 in a 2450m Caen Class E 9 days ago, following a long layoff. Goes barefoot again and looks the principal danger to KYOTO GEMA (9)

Opened her monte account in good order 2 weeks ago, winning a 2725m Lisieux Class F. In marginally better company but sports a new configuration and is unlikely to be far off the mark

KYOTO GEMA (9) won like a good thing at Graignes when first time barefoot and, somewhat behind in earnings, can make this his own. KEV DE JAFA (12) will have come on for his much-needed freshener and racing barefoot again will only enhance his prospects. KARMA JIEL (8) has done nothing but improve lately and his recent Meslay performance bodes well for his chances. KELFLORA BELLA (10) is plainly on the way up and will be expected to finish in the mix.
Qualified superbly last month before being sanctioned early on debut in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche last Monday. Gets a shot at redemption and, if applied, will not be going home empty-handed

Sanctioned in 4 of 5 to date, latterly a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class F a fortnight ago, and can expect to have few takers

Left a good impression when 3rd of 11 in a Class E over track and trip a month ago. Comes here fresh and has every chance of trotting his way into the frame

Showed signs of promise when 3rd, a place behind LEO PERRINE (7), over course and distance earlier this month. Pitted against better this time and no more than a minor place prospect

Sanctioned first time out before making amends on 27 February when 2nd of 8 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F. Will appreciate the Laval profile and should not be far from the action

Faulted early under similar conditions a month ago. Has placed just once in 5 but has been entrusted to Eric Raffin for the occasion and will garner some support

Won on debut earlier in the month before faulting early next time in a 2450m Caen Class E 9 days ago. Takes on some very good elements this time and is unlikely to shake things up

LION DES ISLES (8) won smartly first time out and even though stepping marginally up in category, still looks capable of winning a race of this nature. Corentin Gourgand will still want to keep an eye on LASCA PRIOR (10) who confirmed her potential at Meslay-du-Maine a fortnight ago. LAST QUEEN (11) has looked thoroughly professional since debuting nicely and is not far off losing her maiden status. LUCKY DAY (3) made up for his Alencon sanction next time out and returns to Laval with a lot to offer.
Has not been seen out since coming last of 12 in a 2825m Langon claimer last September. Is confirmed at a superior level though and looks an interesting outside chance

Quite simply an excellent campaigner in the amateur category, HENRIETT D'AURCY (12) just missed out on her hat-trick at Mauquenchy but, a winner here before being sent for a spell, she will take all the beating. With a race under his belt and form at a superior level, FRANKLIN STAR (14) looks to be in with a realistic shout, as does GRAXO (2) who sports front pads after producing a fine effort on re-entry, and the 25m head-start will only work in his favour. FITO PRIOR (4) may not be the most dependable of horses but, when applied, he is never far from springing a surprise.
