Has performed consistently/competitively in handicaps on French soil and didn't go unnoticed when 6th in a 1200m PSF handicap at Pau on 18 February. Warrants respect as this longer distance is more to his liking

Won on debut at Senonnes-Pouance in April last year. Returned after a 10-month absence to finish 9th over 1400m on the PSF at Chantilly on 18 March - remains open to improvement

Absent since finishing a career-best 2nd in an 1100m claimer on the turf at Fontainebleau on 3 May last year. Best watched for now

Inconsistent and disappointed last time (11th) in a 1600m PSF handicap at Chantilly on 30 March but usually runs well on this course and is undeniably capable of a lot better. Cannot be written off just yet

Returned to form with a last-start victory in a 1400m handicap on heavy ground at Strasbourg on 22 March. Carries a 2kg penalty for that success and is not as effective on PSF

Has found form and consistency having dropped in the weights/ratings to his current mark. Finished 2nd in a 1200m turf handicap at Marseille-Borely on 20 March

A model of consistency and was deservedly rewarded for his efforts with a first career success in a 1600m PSF handicap at Chantilly on 8 March. Capable of following up under a 2,5kg penalty

Consistent for the most part and has already proven his competitiveness in handicap at this level. Finished a creditable 5th in a 1600m PSF handicap at Chantilly on 8 March

Has regained his form and consistency in handicaps on both surfaces this year. Caught the eye when finishing 3rd in a 1400m handicap on heavy ground at Strasbourg on 22 March, so isn't without a chance in this race

Has struggled under a penalty after winning a course-and-distance handicap in November and is drawn wide in stall No 16. Finished a well-beaten 16th in a 1600m handicap on this surface at Chantilly on 8 March

Consistent filly with sound references in 6 starts on this surface (2nd and 5th twice). Unplaced in 2 comeback outings this year and makes her handicap debut after finishing 7th over 1400m at Chantilly on 24 February

Finished an encouarging 6th on handicap debut over 1500m on this course late last year. Regained freshness since finishing 6th on a 1700m PSF claimer at Pornichet on 22 February

Inconsistent handicapper with poor references on this surface - finished 10th in a 1600m Chantilly handicap on his reappearance (30 March). Others preferred

Has won 2 handicaps (one on either surface) in her last 4 starts, including a 1200m handicap on the turf at Marseille-Borely on 20 March. Given a hefty 4kg penalty for that success, so looks up against on these terms

Veteran mare who made a winning start to the year in a 1500m handicap on this course. Has gone off the boil since and is unlikely to make any impression here after finishing 17th at Chantilly over 1600m on 30 March

An 11-start four-year-old maiden with just 2 places to his name - in conditions races on both surfaces in 2023. Unplaced in both comeback/handicap outings this year - only 6th over 1600m at Chantilly on 8 March
