Ended last season on a low note and has picked up where he left off, latterly 8th in a 2200m Caen Class E on 21 March. Is by no means the worst horse here though and will have his supporters

Unraced since coming 4th of 9 in a 2050m Cabourg Class D last October. Seldom seen racing left-handed but is being conditioned and will not be influencing the outcome

Sanctioned first time back before winning a 2650m Class F here on 7 March. Steps up in class but still looks competitive for a place in the frame

Last of 5 finishers in a 2875m Enghien Class E 11 days ago and has nothing going for him here either

Starts for the first time since coming 3rd in a trouble-filled 2200m Vincennes monte Class E last December. Shod for the occasion and can be passed over

Went into his break on a low note and 8th, on comeback, to KOMDAPI DIESCHOOT (10) recently will not cut the mustard

3rd of 11 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class F 3 weeks ago. Front shoes off again, with Eric Raffin at the helm, and must not be underestimated

Unbeaten in 3 starts last season, most recently trotted 6th, behind KOMDAPI DIESCHOOT (10), on re-entry in a similar event on 13 March. Will be race-ready by now and must be taken seriously

Unraced since coming 3rd of 14 in a 2750m Craon Class B late-September. Front pads fitted for re-entry but will need the outing

Useful sort that came 4th of 9 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class E on 13 March. Unlikely to win this but is first time barefoot, and can trot his way into the first 5

Debuted nicely in January and has since gone on to win 3 in a row, most recently a 2200m Caen Class F with ease, and is going to take all the beating

Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2200m Caen Class E 12 days ago. Not easy to handle but going first time barefoot, with Paul Ploquin reining, will be afforded every chance

Has not been seen out since securing the double in a 2700m Graignes Class E late-November. Will be eased back in gently and others preferred

2nd of 16 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 11 March. Hind pads fitted for first time, benefits from an excellent entry, and has a good hand to play. Chance
