Last but one in a 2850m Laval harness Class D conditioner last Friday. On front row here but still not easy to recommend

Unexceptional 9th of 10 in a 2175m Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago. Benefits from a 25m head-start this time and could get a look-in

Encouraged at Borely before finishing 7th of 10 in a 3000m harness Class D at Salon-de-Provence a month ago. Out of the picture in last 3 in the code and will have few takers

Lost all chance at the start but finished a valiant 8th of 10, behind HELLO JADE RUSH (7), in a 2875m Meslay Class D early-October. Has had time to recalibrate and can play a leading role if he gets off on the right foot

Failed to confirm his mid-October performance when last but one in a 2875m Enghien Class C 10 days later. Has merit though and should not be written off

Improved on his Cherbourg run when 3rd of 10, a place behind FASCINOSO DE LOU (12), in a 2875m Enghien Class C a month back. Victor Saussaye in the irons this time and will be afforded every chance

14th of 16 when preparing for this in a 2775m harness Class D at Les Sables 2.5 weeks ago. Has been lurking for some time and should again finish close

Has not been seen out since finishing last of 15 in a 3000m Class D at Rochefort-sur-Loire early-August and has no realistic chance

8th of 10 in a 2450m Caen Class B 2.5 weeks ago. Shoes on again and will have few friends

Last of 16, on first start since the break, in a 2775m harness Class D at Les Sables 2.5 weeks ago. Has form at this level, has been fitted with front pads, and looks a decent first 5 prospect

Serious sort in both codes, most recently 3rd of 12 in a 2875m Enghien harness Class D a month ago. Incurs the penalty again but sports a new configuration and will be expected to contest the finish

Left a good impression when 5th of 10 in a 2450m Caen Class B 2.5 weeks ago. Leading driver in the bike and has every chance of keeping his perfect Nantes record intact
