8th of 11 in a 2700m Graignes harness Class F mid-month. Opened his monte account, however, last time under the saddle and barefoot this time should be retained

Delicate but may have found his niche under the saddle, most recently winning a 2450m Castillonnes Class F early-April, and can again figure prominently if he stays in stride

Sanctioned in 2, latterly a 2725m Lisieux Class E last month, after having opened his account at Challans and, shod for the occasion, is unlikely to spring a surprise

Can prove tricky but reassured when 2nd of 5 in a 2550m Reims Class F earlier in the month. Is behind in earnings and, from the front row, can play a leading role

Sanctioned in a 2800m Rambouillet harness Class E last weekend after having imposed at Strasbourg. Shod differently this time and, with application, can put his recent sanctions behind him. Place prospect

6th of 10 in a 2750m Elbeuf harness Class F on 14 April, and in this company will have his work cut out

Has not been seen out since coming 8th of 9 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E late-December. Shoes off for re-entry but starts on the back row and not an obvious choice

On a fine run of form before finishing a lacklustre 6th of 7 in a 2550m Reims Class E 10 days ago. Back barefoot though and can make amends

Sanctioned in both monte starts to date, latterly a modest 6th of 12 in a 2100m Vincennes harness Class E, and returns to the discipline with limited aspirations

Lost his way last season, going into his layoff after faulting in a 2825m Chartres Class F early-December. Stays shod for return and poses no danger

Sanctioned in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E 3 weeks ago when prepping for this. Is competitively-shod this time and looks a solid first-3 prospect

Impressive winner of a 3125m Angers Class E, on re-entry, just over 2 weeks ago and if still on the boil, can walk away with a double

Sanctioned in a 3150m Saint-Brieuc Class E a month back. Has ability but others much easier to trust
