12th of 15, on first start back, in a Class D over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Will have come on for the run and will not be far off the mark if Franck Ouvrie extricates him early

7th of 15, a place behind CHEMAR (3), in a Class C over course and distance late-October. Better-placed this time and will be one to watch

Would arguably have finished closer than 8th of 13 behind IN EN VRIE (5) in a Class C over course and distance mid-November had different tactics been employed. Won here in 1'11 here in September and could well repeat

Unseen since finishing last of 13 in a 2700m Class D at La Capelle 3 months ago. Barefoot for the occasion but has no possible chance

Defied his 15/1 to run 4th of 13 in a Class C over track and trip mid-November. Has been undervalued before but enjoys a good spot behind the car and is unlikely to be this time. First 5

Makes Vincennes debut after coming 3rd of 7 over 2140m under the saddle in Bergsaker on 9 November. Here to get the lie of the land and can be passed over

Sensational this season, latterly dominating a 2950m Toulouse Class E a fortnight ago. Has never failed to deliver here and from the front row must be considered a player

Last but one, on return from a long absence, in a 2700m Class A here on 18 November. Shoes on and no danger

Reassuring 3rd of 14 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class D 3 weeks ago. Not ideally-drawn though and others easier to back

Has not been seen out since finishing last of 9 over 2350m in Waregem late-August. Reconfigured but still best to hold off

Given an easy race when 10th of 13 behind IN EN VRIE (5) in a Class C over course and distance mid-November. Matthieu Abrivard gets the nod this time and, with a well-negotiated break, can impose

Would have finished in the money when making Vincennes debut in a 2850m Class D mid-October had he not stumbled 100m out. Returns to racing shod and Yoann Lebourgeois has maintained faith. Minor place prospect

Got back to winning ways in a 2625m Agen monte Class D on 23 October. Is no slouch under harness either and even with just front shoes off, can play a small part

Good 3rd over track and trip before faulting [prior to passing the post in 2nd] in a 2725m Cabourg Class D mid-October. Is reconfigured for the occasion and Eric Raffin will be eager to capitalise on his charge's form
