Left a good impression here a fortnight ago before being disqualified in a 2600m Class F at Le Touquet last weekend and, on better behaviour, can finish in the mix

Made it 3 straight sanctions when faulting in a 2600m Class F at Le Touquet last weekend. Shoes on this time and not an obvious choice

Produced a brace of good efforts before faulting in a 2900m Guerlesquin Class F on Monday. Steps up in category and while not a priority, should nevertheless hold his own

Has merit but as tricky as they come, latterly sanctioned in a 2900m Guerlesquin Class F on Monday. Receives a Yoann Lebourgeois drive this time but others still preferred

Showed improvement when 6th of 8 in a 2900m Clairefontaine Class E mid-July, on just 2nd start back, but still appears to have more to find

Capable type but sanctioned in a 2575m Chateau-du-Loir Class F last Sunday. Hails from a yard on fire though and the new shoeing formula may be just what the doctor ordered. Place chance

Has not been seen out since coming a courageous but beaten 5th of 10 in a 2200m Caen Class E on 21 March. Shoes on for comeback and best to hold off

Useful type that came 7th, behind KORO DE LA COUR (10), on re-entry in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 2 weeks ago. Will have progressed for the run and can get a look-in

Returns to the harness code after coming 3rd of 11 in a monte Class F over course and distance early last month. Reunited with David Thomain and, from the front row, can play a leading role

On a decent run of form lately, most recently 4th of 9 finishers in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel a fortnight ago. Similarly-configured this time and looks a respectable first-5 chance

Respectable but unthreatening 4th of 7 finishers in a Class E over course and distance a fortnight ago. Shoes back on and, from the 2nd line, others easier to back

Back under harness after finishing 5th of 7 in a monte Class D over track and trip mid-July, but shoes back on and the extra 25m will not help his cause

Here for a change of scenery after trotting 4th of 6 in a 2725m Lisieux monte Class F a month ago, and can be ruled out

Thrashed in both since the break, most recently last but one in a 2850m Laval Class C 2 months ago. Comes here fresh, but races shod and with limited aspiration

Won 3 in a row before being sanctioned, when full of running, in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 17 July, but returns to racing clockwise with every chance of making amends and defying the draw. Claim

Remarkable winner at Caen before coming last but one in a 3000m Rochefort-sur-Loire Class D 11 days ago. Is back in safer hands this time and will be expected to play a significantly more important role
