Has improved consistently this year and should remain competitive over this shorter distance after a good 2nd over 2950m at Toulouse on 21 February. Dark horse

Inconsistent but has references at a higher level. Was disqualified in a 2700m Quinte+ race at Vincennes in his last start on 28 February - better expected here

Consistent performer with references at this level and in this configuration on this course, including a 4th over 2575m at this venue on 17 February

Out of sorts for some time now and not likely to make her presence felt here either after a disqualification in her last start at Toulouse over 2950m on 21 February

Out of sorts and has proven most effective without his irons. Not likely to trouble the judge after finishing only 8th over 2750m at Toulouse on 6 January

Has returned to his best level recently and confirmed as much by winning on 17 February over 2575m on this course

Delicate (disqualified in consecutive recent outings) but has the means to play a leading role if remaining wise. Sanctioned over 2575m on this course on 17 February

Has improved with each outing this year and ought to remain competitive over this shorter distance after finishing 3rd over 2575m on this course on 17 February

Has been out of sorts for some time now and isn't likely to make his presence felt here either, having been a modest 7th at Machecoul over 2700m on 5 November. Others preferred

Inconsistent but has references at a higher level, including a recent 4th in a Quinte+ event over 2100m at Vincennes on 13 February. Was only 13th over 2850m at Vincennes on 19 February - better expected here

Finished 3rd at Fougeres in April last year but has made no impression in each of her 11 subsequent starts. Was disqualified over 2950m at Toulouse on 21 February

Consistent for the most part with sound references to his name, especially on this course. Disqualified last time over 2950m at Toulouse on 21 February but could get into the picture if remaining wise

Hard-knocking veteran who is most effective in this configuration and seldom far off the mark. Was 6th in an amateur race over 2575m on this course on 12 February

An honest veteran performer who seldom finishes far off the mark. Finished 7th over 2575m on this track on 17 February
