Reassuring 3rd of 7 finishers in a 2500m Class F at La Rochelle 2 weeks ago. Shoes back on, has never delivered right-handed, but is still worth retaining

Well-supported when sanctioned in a 2725m Graignes Class E on 3 May. Already twice winner this year and, if applied, can make the most of the draw and trot his way onto the podium

Got straight down to business when shod for re-entry late-April, winning a 2700m Class F at La Capelle with ease. Stays shod but is well-positioned in front and looks a player

Won 2 in a row before coming 8th of 12, shod, in a 2800m Cholet Class F on 29 April. Thrives in this configuration though and is expected to bring home the bacon

3rd of 12 finishers in a 2825m Vire Class F on 21 April, a month after having won at Maure. Enjoys a good entry in front and, despite the hike in category, still looks competitive for a first-5 cheque

Sanctioned in last 3, most recently a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago, and is not about to garner much support

Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2850m Loudeac Class F mid-March and can be confidently ruled out

Has 2 races under her belt, most recently sanctioned in a 2650m Alencon Class D on 21 April. Is a tough nut when focused however, and being reunited with Benjamin Rochard will only work to her advantage. Chance

Makes first appearance since faulting in a 2550m Class F at Gournay-en-Bray on 24 March. Is barefoot for the occasion, reunited with Matthieu Abrivard, but still not a priority

Returns to the provinces after a disappointing last of 8 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E a fortnight ago and appears to have little going for him here

Imposed at Lisieux mid-April before coming 7th of 10 in a 2950m Vichy Class D 10 days ago, and even though on the back line, redemption is not out of the question

Faulted late last month, on return from a lengthy break, in a 2800m Cholet Class F. Has buckets of talent though, is unbeaten here, and must be taken seriously

7th of 9 when preparing shod for this in a 2825m Vire Class F last week. Is dynamic racing barefoot though and, although stepping up in category, is still worth monitoring

Won at Ranes late-April before faulting in a 2500m Class F at Bihorel-les-Rouen a week ago. Sports modified shoeing, has been entrusted to Eric Raffin and although not a contender, will still be afforded every chance

Sanctioned more often than not, most recently at 120/1 in a 2650m Bordeaux Class E on 29 April, and will have few friends
