10th of 15 in a 2575m Agen Class D last week. Has looked very ordinary this season and is not about to cause an upset

10th of 13, on return to competition, in a 2650m Cordemais Class D on 6 October. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be ruled out

7th of 11 to GAZELLE DE VAL (7) in a 2175m Vincennes monte Class D early-September. Shoes on and no threat

Did not enjoy the best of fortune when 10th of 15 in a 2700m Vincennes Class B on 29 September. Has nothing to prove at this level and the front-line start will only work to his advantage

Failed to confirm good Cabourg run when 8th of 14 in a Class D over course and distance late-September. Unlikely to shake things up but will have his supporters

Fine dual-discipline trotter that finished 11th of 14, on comeback, in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables 11 days ago. Is still in conditioning mode though and best to keep one's powder dry

Last but one in a 2775m Class D at Les Sables 11 days ago. Known more for her monte exploits but is no slouch in the harness code and could get a look-in

Pleasant 4th of 10 finishers in a 2725m Graignes Class C, on return from a spell, on 13 October. Sports front pads this time but is unlikely to ruffle many feathers

Classy campaigner making first appearance since winning a 2700m Vincennes Class D last February. Enjoys good entry on first row, sports 4 pads for re-entry, and is not incapable of getting in on the action

2nd of 8, at 49/1, in a 2950m Vichy Gr.2 early-July. Is fresh and barefoot, and will have a lot to contribute if Benjamin Rochard keeps her trotting

Quality trotter that won a 2850m Vincennes Class B mid-September. Stays shod for the occasion however and others preferred

Remarkable trotter that would have won a 2875m Gr.3 at Meslay-du-Maine a month ago had he not faulted in the final strides, and Antoine Wiels is not about to let the same thing happen twice

Sanctioned early in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Gr.3 on 2 October. Has never disappointed at Laval though and will be competitive for a place in the mix

Failed to live up to expectations when 5th of 16 in a 2775m Craon Gr.3 on 2 September. Has had time to recalibrate but shoes on this time and best to wait

Won a Meslay-du-Maine Gr.3 before running 2nd of 12 in a 2550m Beaumont Class A on 13 October. Alexandre Abrivard in the bike this time and is unlikely to be far off the mark

Ran 2nd in a Cherbourg Gr.3 before coming 3rd of 9 in a 2850m Vincennes monte Gr.3 3 weeks ago, and in similar form, should prove main threat to INO DU LUPIN (12)
