Quality element but surprisingly below-par 5th of 12 under these conditions last Friday. Little chance of imposing but can still make his presence felt

Fine winner of a 2525m Cavaillon Class E on 9 April. Franck Nivard reining this time but may find the going somewhat tougher this time around

Valiant 2nd of 13, at 38/1, in a 2875m Argentan Class E mid-April, but a repeat seems improbable

Reassured somewhat when 5th of 8 in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class D on 10 April, but can still be passed over

Not as sharp as he was last season, most recently 7th of 8 finishers in race of reference, but it is only a matter of time before he comes good again. Place chance

Encouraging, but still rather flattering, 5th of 8 finishers in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 20 April and, in this company will struggle to make any impact

Unraced since coming last but one under these conditions on 18 February. Shoes on this time and will have nothing to offer

Lost his action when preparing for this in a 2825m Cordemais Class D 9 days ago. Has yet to deliver here but sports a competitive configuration and will justifiably generate interest

6th of 10 in a 2825m Cordemais Class D when still being conditioned. Hind shoes off for the first time though and winning this is well within his capacity

Imposed at Caen before being sanctioned, when full of running, in a 2150m Enghien Class D a fortnight back, but can play a prominent role if he takes to the new profile and stays focused

Courageous 6th of 10 in a similar event here late-March, despite some misfortune. Gets a 2nd crack at it and can set the record straight. Claim

Encouraging 2nd of 10 in a 2100m Class D here 3 weeks ago. Raffin has kept the drive and is unlikely to disappoint. Attention

Has not been seen out since faulting in a Class C over course and distance on New Year’s Day. Hind shoes off for re-entry but others still preferred

Sanctioned early in a 2150m Enghien Class D 2 weeks ago. Has already won over the main track, races first time unshod-in-front, and can play a leading role if Matthieu Abrivard assures his initial strides
