Left a fine, but surprising, impression on comeback when 2nd in a 2625m Class E at Chatelaillon-La Rochelle on 24 March. Barefoot this time and will have his supporters

Disappointing 10th in race of reference. Has however won 2 from 3 when fitted with just front pads and can get a look-in

Runner-up to JUST FOR FUN (4) at Meslay-du-Maine before coming 3rd in a 2150m Class E here late last month. Competitively-shod but others still easier to back

Imposed at Meslay-du-Maine before finishing 5th, a place behind JUAN CARLOS GIFONT (10) in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 2 weeks ago. Mathieu Mottier reining again and, with application, will not be far off the mark

Has enjoyed something of a renaissance this term, most recently winning a 2750m Class E at La Capelle with ease 2 weeks ago. Steps up in category but should nonetheless acquit himself honourably

7th of 11 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E at the start of the month, but won across town on his only barefoot start and can expect to receive the lion's share of support

Won over course and distance before faulting in 5 April race of reference. Has never disappointed in this configuration and Yoann Lebourgeois will be out to set the record straight

7th of 13 finishers in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E 2 weeks back. Unshod-all-4 this time but seems to have no realistic chance

Has come close in 3 of last 4, most recently 2nd under the saddle in a 2550m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class E 3 weeks ago. Barefoot for the occasion but others still preferred

Knocking at the door lately, most recently beating a number of these in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 2 weeks ago. Always gives his best and Eric Raffin maintaining faith must be taken as a positive sign

Sanctioned on comeback earlier in the month in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E. Shoes off this time but still not easy to like

Has done nothing but improve since the start of the year, most recently 3rd of 12 in a 2600m Nancy Class E on 24 March. Is proven at Enghien but appears to be aiming too high this time

Useful on a good day but well-beaten 9th of 15 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D a fortnight back. If focused though, should not be too far from the action

7th of 9 finishers when being conditioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Back to racing barefoot and looks a decent place chance

2nd of 15 in a 3125m Angers Class E on 3 April, on just his 2nd start back and, in similar form, should confirm
