KEYS (7) has been faultless since joining the Julien Foin yard and, should once again go close. JUDGE DREDD SISU (10), excellent last time at Vincennes, heads the opposition. IMPATIENTE NAY (4), in top form and well suited by this shoeing setup is clearly in with a shot at winning. DYNAMITE SENSATION (12), who shaped encouragingly at Caen last time could also be ready to contest the finish and shine brightly.

JURA (2), quickly disqualified at Caen last Tuesday is capable of better. He could make amends for that mistale and score at this level. JOYAU DE L'ITON (6), in top form, should be right there at the finish once again. ISPAHAN TEAM (5), now racing barefoot, can get involved with the finish. ISBA DU DOME (8), who remains shod, is capable of better and could make the frame over this track and trip.

LUMINOUS STAR (6), impressive at Toulouse on 24 April on his first start for Julien Foin could end a long losing streak. The classy LOUP INDIEN (8), barefoot on his return (three wins from four in this setup) is an obvious dange. , LA STAR ROC (10), tried barefoot for the first time is likely to improve so can be a threat.LE MAGICIEN (7), a recent winner, look set to fight out the finish once again.

A competitive looking race. KAPTAIN DU LIAMONE (9) has disappointed in his last two starts but is well placed to bounce back. KIVALA RENARDIER (4), hard to fault , should fight out the finish once more. JUSTE DU GERS (6), very effective when barefoot, and KING DRY (2), who could have gone close in the Green Trophy at Nimes with better luck, are likely to provide the main opposition from the front row.

A very tricky race and a big field. The ultra-consistent MILANO DARLING (15) is again lightly shod and looks a major player. MARVELOUS SPORT (16), if keeping his action together could be a threat this track and trip. MEMORY STAR ELGE (12), capable of bouncing back, can break the ice for the very first time. MAX DUEM (7), is also capable of being a lively danger on best form so must be respected as well.

NOSTARMAGNAC (6) is very consistent and could hardly have a better opportunity. He should be wary of NEW D'ARAC (4), again only partially shod, but in very good shape. NAGRADO GOLD (5), has the ability but returns from a break. A new recruit to the Fabien Gence yard, NESKA DU GERS (9) shaped well despite her disqualification at Vincennes and can also go close if she stays on ther trot this time around.

A very open race and not too many of them can safely be ruled out. JANTARA DESBOIS (8), a convincing winner at Vichy gets the vote to score. GRAHIKA (10), in top form and usually a danger at this level. JOHN STEED (4), tries barefoot under the saddle for the first time, and he has impressed when racing without shoes. JUDICIEUSE PRIOR (5), is as consistent as they come and should be involved with the finish.

A very open lucky last race. JEANBAT DUEM (13), who has a good understanding with his driver get a very narrow vote to score. JUST A SONG (3), ideally placed, hinted at a form return last time out and is a threat. HOARA TILOU (4), proven at this level, and showing signs of improvement so has to be respected for that. The consistent JOKER DE L'ETRE (14) can also get involved with the finish once again.
