Form Snapshot: Ran well to be 2nd over 3550m at Fontainebleau in a Class 5 hurdle on February 26th. Can improve from her last run and holds leading claims
Form Snapshot: Unplaced on the sole start over 2400m at Moulins in a conditions race on December 13th. Hurdling debut and has work to do
Form Snapshot: Three placed efforts on the flat, 2nd on the latter over 2400m at Craon in a conditions race on November 30th. One to keep onside
Form Snapshot: Several placed runs and two wins on the flat, including a Group 3 AQ last August over 2400m at Vichy, and a 2nd in a Group 1 AQ over 2600m on November 22nd when last seen. Hurdling debut and can be expected to be well-schooled for this
Form Snapshot: Ran with promise when 3rd over 3600m at Senonnes over hurdles on her sole start 8 days ago. Out again quickly and has work ahead in a strong race
Form Snapshot: Unplaced on the one run over hurdles at this track in a Class 2 race over 3500m two weeks ago, a winner on the flat in November at Durtal over 2900m. Look for an alternative
Form Snapshot: Ran with promise to be 5th at Fontainebleau in a Class 5 hurdle on February 26th before getting tired. 3rd over 2600m in a Group 1 AQ race on November 22nd at the same track on the flat. Merits consideration
Form Snapshot: Finished 7th on her sole start over 3400m at Clairefontaine in a Class 3 hurdle on August 11th. Can be overlooked
Form Snapshot: Won on the sole start over 2950m at Machecoul on March 8th in a Class 4 flat race by two lengths. Hurdling debut and others preferred
Form Snapshot: Unplaced last time on the flat, 4th before that over 3000m at Angers in a conditions flat race on February 12th. Second run over hurdles and others make more appeal
Verdict
MISS DAPHNE (2) ran an encouraging race when second at Fontainebleau in late February in a Class 5 hurdle and will be sharper for that run. She is preferred ahead of MYSOKO STAR (5), who has solid form on the flat, including a win in a Group 3 AQ race last August. She will be well-schooled for this. NORMACELLA (1) can improve from a good second on debut at Angers in a Class 3 hurdle last month and warrants respect. MAGIE DU ROY (4) makes up the shortlist.
