Reassuring but unthreatening 4th of 13 in a 2700m Class C here on 18 December. Has ground to make up but is competitively shod and can get in on the action

Tricky but talented colt that lost his action when going well in a 2700m Class A here on New Year's Day. Sanctioned on only start over the distance but returns to racing shod and must not be entirely overlooked

Out of the picture in 2 since the spell, latterly sanctioned in 29 December race of reference. Barefoot this time but must first re-establish his credentials

Sanctioned in last 4, most recently 29 December race of reference. Sports modified shoeing but still cannot be considered a player

Made short work of a Class D under these conditions on 13 December. Has so much more to give and will take all the beating

4th of 7 finishers in a 2700m Class C here late last month. Is clearly in form though and the new formula will only work to his advantage

Flattering 5th of 7 finishers, a place behind LOULOU DES OUBEAUX (6), in a 2700m Class C here late last month. Is first-time barefoot but others still easier to back

Lost all chance at the start, finishing last of 8 over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Is reunited with Eric Raffin, sports modified shoeing, and has every chance of finishing in the mix

Significantly better than recent 8th of 10 behind LOTUS GRIFF (3) in a 2700m Class B here a month ago would suggest. Gets the chance to race barefoot and is unlikely to disappoint

Drops marginally in category after running 3rd of 8 in a 2700m Class A here on 22 November. Comes here fresh and, with pads fitted, looks main threat to LUTIN JABA (5)
