5th of 9 in a 2825m Durtal Class F last weekend, first time under the saddle, but races shod this time and not an obvious choice

Disappointing in all 4 starts this year, latterly last of 14 in a 2725m Pornichet harness claimer a fortnight ago, and will have few friends

Has yet to make his mark in the discipline but won under harness at Reims before trotting 5th of 12 in a 2800m Chartres harness Class E 3 weeks ago and, if form transitions, can finish in the mix

Sanctioned in a 2200m Le Mans harness Class E on Tuesday. Has decent monte credentials but stays shod and best to hold off

Opened his career account 12 days ago when clinching victory in a 2750m Cabourg Class F on 9 July. Beat a number of decent horses that day and can confirm

Good 3rd on monte debut last month before trotting 7th of 11 in a 2775m harness Class E at Les Sables-d'Olonne, when prepping for this on 10 July, and looks principal threat to KING GEDE (5)

No slouch on a good day but coming 14th of 16 in a 2750m Cabourg Class E earlier in the month does nothing to improve his chances

Last but one in a 2825m Durtal harness Class F a week ago. Won 2 under the saddle during the spring, goes well for Guillaume Martin, and returns to the code with legitimate ambition

Left a good impression when 3rd of 17, first time under the saddle, in a 2750m Cabourg Class E on 2 July. Mathieu Mottier maintains faith and is not incapable of winning this

4th on re-entry at Caen mid-June before coming 11th of 17 behind KOPECK DU LOUVET (9) in a 2750m Cabourg Class E on 2 July. First time with front shoes off and is not to be ignored

First time in the discipline after a modest streak in the other code, most recently 8th of 9 in a 2050m Cabourg harness Class E 5 days ago. Has evident ability, sports a new formula, but current form does little to inspire confidence

Has merit but yet to get into his stride this season, latterly 11th of 12 in a 2200m Caen harness Class E on 10 June. Damien Bonne onboard for monte debut though and will be worth monitoring

Put 2 unexceptional efforts to bed when victorious in a 2750m Cabourg Class F earlier in the month. Steps marginally up in category but will still be competitive for a place on the podium
