Disqualified in six of eight outings but did win a harness race on debut and confirmed his obvious ability with a reassuring 3rd under the saddle on this course over 2625m on 12 February. Question of wisdom

Unreliable performer although does have sound references. Absent since finishing 7th over 2300m back in August at Trie-sur-Baase

Versatile trotter with references (a victory) in both disciplines. Needs to reaffirm, however, after his recent disqualification in a mounted race over 2650m at Bordeaux on 11 February

Remains delicate but has revealed considerable means and does tend to do well when not disqualified, as she confirmed by finishing 3rd in a stronger race over 2175m at Vincennes on 3 February. On the shortlist

Finished a reassuring 2nd in this shoe fitting last time over 2325m at Toulouse on 2 February. Could have a role to play if building on that improvement

Has yet to convince in his appearances under the saddle so is hard to make a case for in this category after a recent disqualification in the harness code at Bordeaux on 11 February

Bounced back from a disqualification in his previous start with a reassuring 3rd (shod) in a harness race at Bordeaux over 2550m on 11 February. Rarely seen under the saddle but has the means to have a say here

Inconsistent veteran mare rarely seen under the saddle but has shown enough in this category to stake a claim in a race of this nature, despite a poor last start (10th) in a harness race at Bordeaux on 14 January

Disqualified in consecutive outings at Vincennes in December when last seen but has regained freshness since and has references at a higher level. Will also appreciate this longer distance, so has to be respected

Delicate but usually does well when avoiding disqualification. Finished 4th in consecutive Toulouse races recently, the latest of which was over 2950m on 21 February

Consistent veteran mare for the most part but is best watched for now in just her second comeback outing after a layoff with her irons retained and after a last-start 9th over 2150m at Toulouse on 21 February

Has shown his liking for the mounted category by finishing 2nd in back-to-back outings under the saddle over 2650m last month - the most recent of which was at Saint-Galmier on 19 February. Keep safe

Usually does well when not disqualified but does appear to have lost his way, on the evidence of his last 6 starts. Was disqualified on his reappearance at Lignieres over 2825m on 18 February

Delicate but talented trotter with considerable means and proven quality under the saddle. Runner-up at Cagnes over 2925m with this shoe fitting in his second outing after a long absence on 20 February
