Complicated character that finished a flattering 4th of 9 finishers in a 2875m Enghien amateurs Class F 10 days ago, and even racing barefoot, is unlikely to repeat

No slouch on a good day but has been struggling lately, most recently 6th of 9 in a 2650m Laon Class F a month ago. Shoes on this time and others easier to back

8th of 16 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class F a month back, continuing his fruitless streak, and can be discounted

Returned to winning ways in a 2550m Reims amateurs Class G a fortnight back. Benefits from a front-row break here and, with form maintained, can give HUGO D'HERTALS (6) a run for his money

Back under harness after finishing 2nd of 4 finishers in a 2825m monte Class F at Le Croise-Laroche late-May. Here for a change of scenery and, with shoes on, can be ruled out

Solid 4th of 9 in a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-June. Excels at La Capelle and even with an extra 25m to travel, can still have his way

6th of 9 in a 2650m Laon Class F a fortnight ago. Is in the right category here and even though shod, can still trot his way into the money

12th of 15 in a 2875m Enghien claimer 10 days ago, and the handicap only compounds the issue

3rd of 10 finishers in a 2850m Lyon-Parilly Class E last weekend after having been disqualified following an excellent performance at Caen. Incurs the penalty but can still prove something of a spoiler

Continued his poor run of form when last but one in a 2600m Nancy Class F on 28 June, and can expect to remain friendless in the markets

Going well when sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien amateurs Class F late last month. Is confirmed at a superior level and it is only a matter of time before he comes good again

6th of 9 finishers, behind HIMEROS DU DOLLAR (1), in a 2875m Enghien amateurs Class F 10 days ago. Is in his category here and should be good enough to challenge for a spot in the frame
