Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2500m Class E at Savigny-sur-Braye 11 days ago and, with shoes back on, can be discounted

7th of 12 finishers in a similar event here on Monday. Races barefoot this time but backs up with limited chances

Takes to the monte code for the first time after trotting 6th of 9 finishers in a 2800m Vichy harness Class E a month back and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Disappointing on monte debut but reassured under harness when 2nd of 12 in a 2900m Arras Class F on 9 June. Sports a new configuration and can get in on the action if form transitions.

Sanctioned, when freshening up, in a 2800m Rambouillet harness Class E earlier this month. Has decent monte references though and debuts at Caen with a realistic chance of securing a place in the frame

Sanctioned in a 2800m Rambouillet harness Class E on 9 June. Can hold his own under the saddle but at this level, and with shoes on, will have too much to do

6th of 8 finishers, while still being conditioned, in a 3125m Ranes harness Class F on 9 June. Has previously won under these conditions however and must not be underestimated

Has been in flying form since returning to competition. 4th of 10 finishers in a 2700m Erbray Class F 11 days ago and makes his Caen debut with every chance of featuring in the reckoning

Disqualified from 2nd, after having lost ground at the start, in a 2725m Graignes Class harness Class F 3 weeks ago. Pleased under the saddle here late-April and, in present form, will be no soft touch

Previously a good sort but makes first appearance since coming last but one in a 2450m Caen Class E last September and will need the outing

Sanctioned in last two, laterally a 2900m Bourigny Class E on 2 June. Enjoys a good entry here though and reverting to a proven formula will be just the ticket, provided of course that Benjamin Chauve-Laffay keeps him trotting

Encouraging 5th of 11 finishers in a 2600m Class F at La Roche-Posay earlier in the month but is unlikely to shake things up
