Sanctioned in all 3 starts to date, most recently a 2800m VIre Class F last Monday, and can expect to have few friends

Pleasant in last 2, latterly 4th of 12 in a 2550m Dieppe Class F last Saturday, but is being aimed too high this time

Reassured at Gournay-en-Bray before finishing last but one in a 2800m Vire Class F last Monday and can be confidently passed over

Disappointing for past 18 months, most recently last but one in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 12 September, and is again out of his depth

Placed in 3 of 4 before finishing 7th of 12, behind KOITRO DE QUERY (7), in a 2550m Dieppe Class F early this month. Steps up in category but is not to be ruled out

Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2150m Vichy Class E late-May. Has talent to burn and will be expected to figure prominently if Bruno Beaucamp can keep him trotting

Races barefoot for first time after coming 5th of 12 in a 2550m Dieppe Class F early this month. Not a priority but is good enough to make his presence felt

Lost his maiden status in a 2850m Brehal Class F a month ago. On front row this time, has been held back for this excellent entry, and Danny Stoehr will be eager to capitalise

Has gone from strength to strength since the start of the summer, opening his account [by default] mid-July in a 2725m Pornichet Class F. Has not been seen out since but will have been kept ticking over. Attention

Serious sort that came 4th of 11 in a 2600m Class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on 18 August. Secured his last success with the day's driver and has a realistic chance of repeating

Off the boil this term despite having shown early promise, most recently 7th of 10, a place behind KATSUKI (15), in a 2100m Vincennes Class D a month back. Shoes on and no danger

Did not enjoy the best of trips when sanctioned in a 2550m Cherbourg Class B a month ago. Is shod this time, has references at a superior level and, even from the 2nd line, must be respected

Quality element starting for first time since coming 2nd of 11 in a 2875m Enghien Class D last March, and will need the run

Got back in the game at Vire earlier this month, coming 3rd of 9 in a 2800m Class E. Is clearly on the way up and has the wherewithal to fight out the finish here

Unthreatening 7th of 13 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 12 September. On back line again and chances limited

Honest sort making first appearance since being sanctioned in a 2175m Vincennes Class C early-June and, shod for the occasion, will not pose a threat

Kicked the year off well before losing his way, latterly 11th of 13, behind KATSUKI (15), in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 9 days ago, and needs to reassure

Unraced since winning a 2200m Vincennes monte Class D on 9 April. Has other priorities and can be passed over
