Sanctioned as often as not, most recently in a 2525m Class F at Les Andelys 11 days ago, and can expect to remain friendless

Has won 2 of 3 to date, latterly with style in a 2850m Laval Class G 8 days ago, and has every chance of repeating

Not without merit and 5th to KSAR DE MONE (4) in a 2975m Jallais Class F mid-June, but in this category will have too much to do

Has looked a different horse of late, most recently 2nd of 14 in a 2975m Jallais Class F mid-June. In a tougher field this time but can still play a small role

Got off the mark in a 2550m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class F late last month, at the 18th time of asking. Unlikely to repeat but, with form maintained, can figure prominently

Took some time to come to hand this term but reassured when 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F early last month, and will not be sent out at 54/1 this time

Placed in 2 minor events before faulting early in a 2800m Chartres Class E late last month and is being aimed too high here

Came in a good 4th of 12 finishers in a Class F over course and distance last week and, competitively-shod, is unlikely to disappoint. Place chance

Unraced since coming 6th of 9 in a 2700m Graignes Class E last November and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Has found his way since starting to race unshod-behind. 4th of 10 in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 24 June and will be worth keeping an eye on

Difficult type but won a 2200m Vichy Class F smartly late last month. Nivard appoints Ploquin to take over in the sulky and he will be expected to apply the pressure on KONG DODVILLE (2). Chance

2nd only to a very good horse in a 2950m Vichy Class E 10 days ago. Entrusted to a leading driver for the occasion and is not to be underestimated

2nd on return to competition late-May before winning a 2700m Segre Class F in the middle of June. Steps up in category but still looks good enough to hold his own
