Modest individual that finished 7th of 15 in a 2350m Angers Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Hind shoes off but is properly out of his depth

Made up for recent sanctions when 3rd of 14 finishers in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables-d'Olonne 2.5 weeks ago. Will not be sent out at 74/1 this time, but will not be as competitive either

8th here late-September before repeating in a 2850m Class F at Nuille-sur-Vicoin in middle of last month. Won here earlier in the year though and should not be ignored

Encouraged at Laval before running 3rd of 15 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 8 October. In good company here but thrives at Nantes, is ideally-placed on first row, and can win this

Sanctioned, on 2nd start back, in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables-d'Olonne 2.5 weeks ago. Preparing for a campaign under the saddle and can be passed over

Has 2 runs in her since the break, most recently 9th of 13 in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F last Friday. Remains shod though and can be ignored

Made it 2 on the trot when securing a 2875m Enghien Class E on 10 October. Has had time to recover but races shod on this occasion and, although not a priority, can still play a role

13th of 15, when preparing for this in a 2700m Vincennes Class C last week. Has won numerous times for his driver and, with application, will be no easy touch

Rewarded with victory a month back in a 2825m Lyon-Parilly Class B. 25m worse off again but still looks a serious proposition

6th of 7, when being conditioned for this, in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class C mid-October. Has talent to burn and is not incapable of imposing

Serious type that ran 14th of 15 in 3000m Gr.1 Criterium des 5 Ans at Vincennes mid-October. Has nothing going for her here however and can be disregarded

Unraced since finishing 11th of 15 in 3000m Gr.1 Criterium des 5 Ans at Vincennes mid-October. Here for reasons of conditioning and not a contender

Classy trotter with references at a superior level but, from 3rd row, is unlikely to improve on recent 8th of 15 in a 2850m Laval Class A last Friday

Takes a notable drop in class after finishing 12th of 15 in 3000m Gr.1 Criterium des 5 Ans at Vincennes mid-October. Races shod from 3rd row and has no realistic chance

Sanctioned in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables-d'Olonne 2.5 weeks ago after having won under the saddle at Cherbourg. Has other priorities and can be ruled out

4th of 14 finishers when being conditioned in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables-d'Olonne 2.5 weeks ago. Incurs 50m penalty again but still has the class to finish close
