Useful type that came 9th of 10 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 29 March. Imposed on lone association with Eric Raffin and must be considered a leading contender

8th of 12 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 1 February after having won at the same venue 1.5 months earlier. Has had time to freshen up and Mathieu Mottier will be out to set the record straight

Modest individual that was sanctioned when never dangerous in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 12 days ago. Shoes back on and even with David Bekaert reining will not be losing his maiden status any time soon

7th of 10 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 29 March. Fitted with front pads for the occasion, is well-positioned in front, and will be worth taking seriously

Last of 10 behind KILLER SUN DRALIAM (9) on re-entry in a 2600m Saint-Galmier Class D on 6 March. Races first time barefoot but still appears to need the race

Respectable 3rd of 7 finishers in a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class D 2 weeks ago. Just front shoes off this time but is still good enough to pick up a minor place cheque

Got back down to business in a 2150m Cagnes Class E on 2 March when first-time barefoot. Shoes off again and even though breaking wide, still looks capable of making the first 5

Disappointing so far this term, most recently coming 8th to KADOR D'ESPACE (7) in a 2150m Cagnes Class E on 2 March and is not about to shake things up

Not disgraced when 5th of 10 in a 2600m Saint-Galmier Class D on 6 March. Consistently gives his best but the draw will do him no favours

2nd here in February before coming 6th to KILLER SUN DRALIAM (9) in 6 March race of reference. Has some ground to make up but is an honest trotter and will give what he can

Consistent filly making first start since trotting 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 4 February. Similarly-shod and can have another day in the sun if Benjamin Rochard successfully negotiates the start

Tricky but talented sort that just missed out in a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class E on 22 March. Is confirmed here and will have his chances if Steve Stefano positions him early

Came close 2nd, when shod, in a 2650m Saint-Galmier Class E on 6 March. Hind shoes off this time, has references at the venue and, although breaking from the second row, is still worth keeping an eye on
