10th of 17, behind KALOU D'IROISE (5), in a 2200m Caen Class E on 18 March. Has undeniable ability but in this category is not about to spring any surprises

Trotted 4th here last month before coming 6th of 16 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 11 March. Takes on some better beasts this time and, despite the good draw, appears to have too much to do

Useful sort making first appearance since coming 13th of 14 in a 2175m Vincennes Class D mid-December and will be expected to need the run

Easily won a 2700m Vire Class F, on return from his spell, on 3 March. Has won 2 from 3 with Yoann Lebourgeois and, from the 4-spot, will be no soft touch. Claim

Disappointing of late, most recently finishing 8th of 17 in a 2200m Caen Class E on 18 March. Back to racing unshod-behind, is well-placed on the front row, but others still preferred

6th of 9 in a 2900m Enghien claimer on 12 March, having faulted in the straight. Form is not in doubt but may be biting off more than he can chew

9th on re-entry in a 2450m Caen Class E on 11 March. Races first time unshod-behind, boasts a 50% win-rate, and with application, can extend it

Failed to confirm his Mauquenchy success when sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class E 9 days ago. Forced to start wide and unlikely to spring any surprises

Quickly sanctioned, on return to competition, in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Is back racing clockwise and Sebastien Ernault will be eager to place him early

Capable type making his first appearance since coming 12th of 13 in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche last December. Best to hold off

Won over course and distance late-January before coming 4th of 18 in a 2200m Caen Class F on 4 March. Is plainly close to winning another and, even though starting on the 2nd row, will be competitive for a step on the podium

Tricky character that pleased at Vincennes before losing his action in a 2850m Laval Class E on 13 March. Fitted with front pads this time and, with application, can start to put things right

7th of 9 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class E, on return to competition 2 weeks ago. Has won twice going right-handed and will not be far off the mark if he takes to the Argentan profile

12th of 13 finishers in a 2650m Laval Class F 3 weeks ago. Front shoes off this time but still not an obvious choice

Trotted 4th at Nantes before faulting early in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight back. Handed a tough draw but can get a look-in if Cedric Terry keeps him trotting

Yet to replicate last year’s form, latterly coming 8th to KAISER DE CESNY (2) in a 2875m Class E here on 18 February. Is far from his best and must first re-establish his credentials
