Won over a mile at Modena late-May, has just hind shoes fitted this time, but still looks to be out of his league

Makes first foray north of the border after securing the hat-trick at home, most recently over 1600m at Villanova d’Albenga late-April, but in this company will have his work cut out

Last of 11 finishers, on re-entry, in 17 May race of reference. Has shown little liking for Vincennes and can be passed over

Showed improvement here on 10 May before faulting, when clearly full of running, in a 2100m Class E here a week later. On better behaviour though can start to set the record straight

Won at Reims before trotting 2nd to DJANGO HILL (14) in a 2100m Class E here mid-May. Returns to racing barefoot and, with application, can finish close

Yet to prove himself in France but ran an encouraging 6th of 11 finishers in a 2700m Class C here 3 weeks ago. Still has more to find though

Plainly on the way up after coming 4th to DJANGO HILL (14) in race of reference. Takes on a tougher task this time however and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Won 4 straight in Italy after returning from Vincennes empty-handed, most recently over 2060m in Bologna. Barefoot again but still not a priority

Still in the running when sanctioned in a 2700m Class C here 3 weeks ago. Form is not in question though and the new configuration may be just the ticket. Claim

Returns to racing with front pads fitted after coming 5th of 11 finishers in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E on 9 June. 3rd last time under these conditions but looks more a minor place prospect this time around

Has done nothing but improve since returning from his break, most recently winning a 2850m Laval Class E a month back. Steps up in category though, has no particular love for the main track, but will still generate interest

Useful over course and distance but sanctioned [as favourite] in a 3000m Nantes Class E on re-entry early-June, and appears to need another run

Sanctioned in both French starts, latterly a 2700m Class D here on 10 May. Comes here fresh, barefoot, and will be in with a shout if Francois Lagadeuc keeps him trotting from one end of the track to the other

Secured the hat-trick in Germany before winning a 2100m Class E here mid-May. Steps up in category but still looks thoroughly capable of doubling his money

Showed tenacity to come 4th of 16 in a 2700m Class D here 2 weeks ago and, with form maintained, can repeat

Sanctioned in last 5, most recently a 2250m Enghien monte Class D early-May and, even with just front pads fitted, can expect to have few takers
