capable but never far from faulting. Surprise 3rd of 11 in a 2200m Class F here late last month but cannot be considered a priority

4th to IDEO JOSSELYN (8) in a Class F under these conditions a fortnight ago. Unlikely too shake things up but should still acquit himself honourably

Unplaced on lone appearance here but came an encouraging 3rd of 10, on first start back, in a 2400m Amiens Class F on 19 April. Mathieu Mottier reining this time and will be expected to finish in the mix

Useful type making first appearance since finishing 10th of 13 in a 2750m Cabourg Class E late-October. Is shod to preference and can set the cat among the pigeons if Dominik Locqueneux keeps him trotting

Faulted on re-entry in a 2550m monte Class F at Gournay-en-Bray late-March. Has had time to come on, appreciates Caen, and can win this

Last of 13 on re-entry in a 2900m Amiens Class F on 13 April and will not be troubling the judge

Unexceptional mare that has never excelled at Caen. 11th of 16 in a 3200m Fougeres Class F last Sunday and is not about to cause an upset

Simply superb since returning to racing barefoot, pulling off 2 course and distance wins, most recently in a Class F on 22 April, and the hat-trick is well within his capacity

Kicked the year off well but below-par since, latterly 8th of 12 in a 2650m Alencon Class F 2 weeks ago, and can be ruled out

Made it 2 wins in a row when securing a 2400m Amiens Class F smartly a month back. Has yet to deliver at Caen but is barefoot this time and is hard to ignore

5th of 15 in a 2825m Cordemais Class D 2 weeks ago. Competitively-shod this time and is unlikely to return home empty-handed

Looked rather ordinary when 8th, a place behind IRENO DES PLAINES (13), in a 2150m Argentan Class D 3 weeks ago and cannot expect to generate much interest

7th of 14 in a 2150m Argentan Class D on 15 April and is not about to influence the result
