Last of 9 behind JANGO ELEVEN (13) in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 10 days ago. Races first time barefoot, with Mathieu Mottier reining, and is by no means out of the picture

Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2700m Vincennes Class E last November. Is barefoot for re-entry but others still easier to back

Honest type that returned to winning ways in a 2500m Class F at Bihorel-les-Rouen on 17 March. In better company this time but has the plum spot on the front line and will be no pushover

Unplaced in a 2675m Lisieux Class F, when being conditioned, on 16 March. Shod to preference this time and, even from the 4-spot, is still no more than a minor place prospect

Would have finished close in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 10 days ago had he not faulted in the straight. Has other priorities though and best to hold off

Useful sort making first appearance since trotting 9th of 14 in a 2850m Carentan Class E last July. Shoes off but will be race-rusty

3rd of 8 finishers in a 2500m Reims Class F mid-March and, in similar form, can challenge for the win this time

Showed improvement when 4th of 10 in a 2600m Nancy Class E 10 days ago. Will be fully-fit by now and, despite a wide draw, can still figure prominently

5th to JOYEUX CORDIERE (3) in a 2500m Class F at Bihorel-les-Rouen on 17 March. Shoes back on though and not a priority

14th of 16, on comeback, in a 2675m Lisieux Class F on 16 March. Races barefoot this time, will have come on for the run and, already a winner for Pierre-Yves Verva, has every chance of finishing in the mix

7th of 14 when prepping for this in a 2750m Class G at La Capelle on 10 March. Is better than latest result would suggest and, in this bunch, can pick up some prizemoney

Showed promising signs when 5th of 8 finishers in a 2800m Class F at Villedieu-les-Poeles on 24 March but is not the most dependable of trotters and the draw will do him no favours

Took no time getting back in shape following the break, latterly 3rd of 13 in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 10 days ago. Handed a tough draw but the Mauquenchy stretch will suit him to a tee. Claim

Sanctioned in a 2800m Class F at Villedieu-les-Poeles on 24 March. Is plainly out of sorts and can be passed over

Modest individual that finished last of 12 to JANGO ELEVEN (13) in a 2750m Class G at La Capelle on 10 March. Races barefoot this time but can be disregarded nevertheless

Unseen since coming 9th of 10 in a 2825m Le Croise-Laroche Class F early-December and can be confidently ruled out
