Reassured somewhat when 2nd to KANEM (8) in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle on 7 April. Has previously placed with Eric Raffin but others still preferred

Progressive sort that has won 3 from 5, latterly 2nd to KOMDAPI DIESCHOOT (10) in a 2850m Laval Class E late last month and, with front pads fitted, could yet exact revenge

Respectable 5th of 10 finishers in a 2100m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Is confirmed under these conditions but will still need to raise his game

Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2175m Class D here on 18 January and can be confidently passed over

4th of 11, at 45/1, in a Class E over course and distance a week ago. Steps up in category but can play a part if still on the boil

Twice runner-up before finishing 10th behind KOBALT (9) in a 2875m Argentan Class E mid-month. Is a different horse when barefoot and is worth keeping an eye on

Makes Vincennes debut after coming 2nd over 2600m at Wolvega on his first start since the break. Hind shoes off for the occasion but still faces a stiff test

Tenacious winner of a 2750m Class E at La Capelle on 7 April. In better company this time but form is clearly headed in the right direction and he is not to be underestimated

6th of 13 when prepping shod for this in a 2875m Argentan Class E mid-month. Barefoot for metropolitan debut and should be good enough to challenge for a place in the frame

Good class of trotter that won a 2850m Laval Class E late last month when first time barefoot. Shoes off again and can make a big impact if he takes to the new profile

Would have won a 2700m Class D here late last month had he not lost his action. Has bags of ability, sports a new configuration, and looks set to take all the beating

7th of 12 finishers, on re-entry, in a 2875m Argentan Class E 11 days ago. Is still being conditioned and not a priority
