10th of 13 when preparing for this in a 2800m Chartres harness Class B a fortnight ago. Is hard to knock when barefoot and focused though and has a 25m head-start on JE REVE DU BOIS (5)

Consistent trotter that ran 4th of 7 behind JIMAKO VERDERIE (3) in a 2700m Vincennes Class C mid-October. Shoes on for Laval debut and others preferred

Surprising 3rd of 7, on return from his layoff, in a 2700m Vincennes Class C mid-October. Faces a much stiffer test this time and chances slim

Highly-consistent type that finished a good 2nd to JE REVE DU BOIS (5) in a 2700m Vincennes Class B on 4 October. Knows the track well and from the front row can make a big impact

Impressed under harness in September before winning a 2700m Vincennes Class B on 4 October. Similarly-shod and looks the one to beat

Sanctioned, when unsupported, in a 2875m Enghien Class D 2 weeks ago and has no place in this field

Won at Vincennes on 13 September before coming 4th of 9 in a 2175m Class B at the same venue a month ago. Sports pads this time and but still looks good enough to trot her way onto the podium

Quality individual that was sanctioned on re-entry 3 weeks ago in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3. Has nothing to prove at this level and, even from the 3rd row, will be no soft touch

Returns to the ridden code after coming 7th of 15 in a 3500m Craon Class B on 23 September and looks out of his depth

Pleasant 5th of 9 behind JOKER DE FROULAY (4) in a 2600m Cherbourg Class A on 25 September. Unraced since but has been handed a 50m handicap and a minor place prospect at best
