Caen

Wonderfully capable but as capricious as the wind, LOS PACOS (8) ran 2nd here late last month before losing his action in Vichy last week, but has been reconfigured and can more than make amends if Jean Ferron keeps him trotting. Failing that, the race can play out between the somewhat tricky but eminently capable LIBERATOR PHEDO (4), and the well-engaged LE RIB (11) who has done nothing but excel since returning from his winter break. Back under the saddle after pleasing on comeback under harness at Vichy, LOVELY ONE (7) has a particular liking for these conditions and, freshly re-shod, is unlikely to let the side down.
