Summary: LASSAUT (4) is a classy performer who was second in the Prix Niel (Gr.2) over 2400m on his penultimate start on October 11th, 2022. Absent since late October that year, he should be well prepared by connections for this return outing. He is preferred over the less experienced HEARTLAND (6), who scored on her second run at Senonnes last month and looks promising. ROMANELLO (1) acts on turf and the PSF and can not be overlooked.

Summary: APOLLO CREED (7) ran a strong race when second over course and distance in a Class 3 handicap chase last time out and looks poised to go one place better. GARALUI DE BALME (8), who finished two lengths behind in third in that same race, is the main danger. KILOMETRE ZERO (11) was fourth on that occasion and should be in the mix again. KREEDENCE (13), a recent chase debut winner at Blain, is open to further improvement and merits respect.

- KILLER KING – Three unplaced runs so far, the latter over 2500m in a maiden race on April 20th at Nort-Sur-Edre. Hardly inspiring form
- SYTADEL – 6th on his one run over 2200m in a maiden race at Orleans on April 6th. He will need vast progress to trouble some of these

Summary: Although disappointing last time, MANEATER (7) showed plenty of ability when she was fourth on her debut early last month at Le Croise-Laroche. She is given the vote ahead of CLAIRE (8), who ran with promise when she was fourth at Hars-Du-Pin last month on her debut. QUEST FOR MAGIC (9) showed promise on debut when fifth at Argentan in April and can be considered. KANDO (1) looks best of the others.

- SYRUS – 5th on debut at Haras-Du-Pin over 2100m in a maiden race on April 13th. He should improve and is best watched this time
Summary: SWINGUER (8) looks the standout in this open maiden. He showed marked improvement when runner-up at Le Croisé-Laroche on his second outing last month and can go one better. METAMORPHIC (6) made a promising debut when fourth at this track in early April and is expected to come forward for that experience. ETREHAM (9) progressed from his debut to finish fourth at Lyon-Parilly and has each-way claims. DON’T SHUT ME DOWN (3) completes the shortlist and should not be dismissed lightly.

Summary: STITCHING WHEEL (8) can be forgiven for her last run when not beaten far in a well-contested maiden at Saint-Cloud last month. She is better judged on her second at Clairefontaine last October. MELOSA (1) was a pleasing second at Toulouse on her second start and can play a lead role. SEPULVEDA (2) was a creditable fifth on her last run at Fontainebleau in mid-April and can make the frame. LAWFUL LADY (4) can improve from a pleasing second on debut and warrants respect.

This might be less challenging, and she can get her head in front again. BELLA CIAO (13) arrives after a decent second-placed effort at Saint-Cloud in mid-April in a Class 3 handicap and can make the selection work hard. WARDAMA (12) has been placed on both runs this year and is the logical each-way option. GAVIAL (4) is also one to keep onside.

Summary: ELKABIER (11) has been placed on the last two runs at Saint-Cloud, when third in a Class 3 handicap in early April. ALATHEA (3) could be the main threat after a second-place effort at Fontainebleau in late April in a Class 3 handicap. FLUTE EN SOL (8) has dropped in the weights and races of an attractive handicap mark. BOETTI (6) is another to consider after a third two runs ago at Pau on the PSF.

Summary: LARMENAY (1) made a pleasing start to his career when he was second at Haras-Du-Pin in mid-April over 2350m. He will have learned from that experience and can score from LINDJIM (7), who has been placed on both starts and is hard to ignore.

- MA DAM – Unraced filly by Mr Owen, the dam won 4 races over jumps, two of them cross-country chases. She will improve for this debut run and is one to watch for the time being

- MARVELLOUS SWEEN – Newcomer by Nirvana Du Berlais, the dam won 1 race and was placed 2nd in a Group 2 AQ race. Hard to overlook with good aspects to ger profile
Summary: MA GANNAT (7) has a taking pedigree, her dam was a winner of a Group 3 AQ and two Group 1 AQ races. This filly will be well prepared and can get off to a winning debut. MARVELLOUS SWEEN (8) also looks good on paper, her dam was a winner and was second in a Group 2 AQ race. MISSION SMART (5) is on debut and is another to keep onside, the betting can be informative.

Summary: LEONARDO DE LOU (10) has been improving recently and was a very easy winner over a similar distance at this track last time out. He can double up and beat these rivals. L’ARTISTE ZEN (9) ran respectably when finishing runner-up to that rival but will need to find a few lengths to reverse the form, and has since been disqualified in a harness race. L’ARTISTE MIL (2) has yet to win a race but is capable of making the frame. LANNISTER D’AVRIL (8) is inconsistent but cannot be ruled out.

- LOVELY JIM – Does not always show her best side and was 6th in Class D at Enghien over this distance on 17 April. Has already won twice this year and is not out of it
- LOTTA ROSIE – Very consistent this year and was fourth in Class D at this track over 2700m on 22 April. Just as good this distance and should fight out the finish again
- LIO DE PIENCOURT – Finished 6th last time out in Cass D at this track over 2700m on 22 April. Capable of earning some money this shorter distance
Summary: LOVE ME AGAIN (2) has a few recent disqualifications to her name but has shown talent in the past and is quite capable of bouncing back to score in a race like this. LOTTA ROSIE (11) has been very consistent since going barefoot and looks likely to get her head in front before long. LOVELY JIM (10) has already won twice this year but is better suited to longer distances. LORELEI (3) is not easy to trust but holds winning claims.

Summary: There was not much between the three main contenders when they met at Laval last month. IDEAL DU NOYER (4) was third that day but could turn the tables on his rivals. HANDSOME BOY (7) won that race and has every chance of following up over a suitable distance. ILEO PIERJI (6) finished second between the other two and should be right there at the finish once again.
