10th of 11 in a 3000m Marseille-Borely conditioner last week. Adores Hyeres but races shod on this occasion and best to hold off

Authoritative winner of a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class F 2 weeks ago and, from the 2-spot, can confirm

Sanctioned, when favourite, in a 2650m Oraison Class F 10 days ago. Is clearly in shape though, sports a new configuration, and the draw will do his prospects no disservice

Sanctioned in 4 of last 5, latterly a 2600m Cavaillon Class F on 6 April, but has bags of ability, is ideally-positioned in front, and must not be underestimated

Last of 9 when preparing shod for this in a 3000m Marseille-Borely amateurs Class F on 27 March. Shoes on again but benefits from a superb engagement and, from the 5-spot, is not going to be far off the mark

Unremarkable trotter that came 6th of 9 in a 2650m Carpentras Class F mid-April and, even with hind shoes off, will struggle to make his presence felt

Unseen since coming last of 11 in a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class D last September and, with shoes on, will have nothing to offer

Unraced since coming 5th of 12 in a 2950m Toulouse Class E on 10 February. In less-exalted company this time and, despite the draw, can play a leading role

7th of 11 finishers, after faulting, in a 2400m Marseille-Borely Class F last week but can make amends if Nicolas Ensch successfully navigates the start

Debuts at the venue after coming 3rd in a 2575m Agen-Le Passage amateurs Class G 10 days ago. On the 2nd line but in this small field can strike a blow to the favourite's chances

Surprising 6th of 15 in a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class F a fortnight ago, but a repeat seems improbable
