Won at this level over 2625m on this course in January with the same shoeing configuration adopted here after a modest last-start 9th (plated in front) over 2750m at Toulouse on 25 February. Not taken lightly

Versatile mare with sound references in both trotting codes, including a last-start 5th under the saddle on this course over 262m on 17 February. Races with her irons reverting to the harness category

Has made no impression in either of his comeback outings after a 9-month absence - was disqualified last time over 2575m at this venue on 17 February

Finished unplaced in both comeback outings at a higher level this year without his irons and is best just to watch for now, even in this category, with his irons for this commitment

Consistent veteran mare for the most part and has sound references in this category and at a higher level. Disqualified on this course last time (17 February) and will be shod on this occasion

Runner-up at Villeneuve-sur-Lot over 2650m in June last year but has finished unplaced in 13 subsequent outings. Was 7th at Toulouse over 2950m on 13 January

A veteran of 98 starts with references at a higher level, although has been off the boil for some time now. Finished 7th at Vincennes over 2100m on 27 January

Has nothing to prove at this level, having won twice and finished 2nd in his last three appearances in this category. Finished 8th in a stronger race last time at Vincennes over 2850m on 23 February

Consistent veteran mare with sound references at this level, especially on right-hand tracks with this shoe fitting. Finished 6th at Mauquenchy over 2850m on 21 February

Unreliable sort with references at this level but is, on the evidence of recent outings, out of sorts currently. Was only 8th at Cholet over 2800m on 25 February

Veteran mare with sound references at this level, though rarely wins her races (has just 5 victories from 89 starts). Finished 6th at Bordeaux over 2650m on 29 January
