Keeping in the correct gait will be crucial here. NEPTUNE D'AUVRECY (10) shaped with promise in a recent outing at Caen and is taken to build on that encouraging effort. NAUSICAA DES MERS (8), who made a pleasing start under the saddle, rates a major threat, while NOSTALGIE CENE (12) is an interesting newcomer to the discipline and warrants respect. The unraced NINIO DU LOISIR (3) catches the eye on debut after qualifying nicely in harness company, having already shown enough in mounted qualification last October to suggest ability.
