Lisieux

Although eliminated on his seasonal bow at Caen earlier this month, MONTANA KALOUMA (12) has otherwise shown significant potential. He is forced to start on the back row but will be fitted with 4 pads for the first time and, with application, will take all the beating. By no means disgraced when being conditioned at Caen that day, MARQUIS SOMOLLI (1) will also be fitted with pads and has been accorded the 1 slot. MAESTRO D'IDEF (8) picked up there where he left off at Pontchateau before the break and despite the draw will have an important part to play. MULTIPASS (10) ran better at Caen than the result would suggest and merits serious attention.
