Returned to victorious ways a month ago when securing a 2650m Alencon Class F. Races shod this time but has form here and will still generate some interest

3rd here in last 2 starts, latterly a Class F over course and distance 10 days ago. Appreciates Nantes and while unlikely to impose, can still challenge for a place in the frame

7th of 14 in a 2825m Chartres Class F 10 days ago. Front pads fitted this time but still not a player

Sanctioned early in a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-October. Is clearly in excellent form and can give IGOR DU PLANTIS (10) a run for his money if Matthieu Abrivard manages to keep her trotting

Showed moderate improvement 10 days ago when 6th of 13, behind ISKO D'IQUAINE (2), in a Class F over course and distance. Is not about to shake things up but is still worth taking more seriously

Enjoying a good run of form, most recently 3rd of 13 in a 2700m Machecoul Class F 2.5 weeks ago, but would be preferred at a lower level

6th of 9 in a 2850m Mauquenchy monte Class F on 12 September. Has other priorities and can be ruled out

Out of the picture in last 4, most recently 10th in 27 October race of reference, and must first re-establish his credentials

Sanctioned when unsupported in a Class F over track and trip 10 days ago. Is dangerous when applied though and has previously won under these conditions. First 5

Blows hot and cold but has won 2 of last 4, most recently a 2800m Langon Class E late-September. Enjoys favourable conditions and can impose if Yvan Lacombe keeps him focused

Drops in category after faulting in a 2850m Vincennes Class C on 18 October. Sports front pads this time and will not be far from the action if William Bigeon can keep her focused on the job at hand

Not the horse he was earlier in the year, latterly last of 11 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 18 October, and must get his house in order

4th of 13 in a 2875m Enghien Class D 10 days ago. Has previously imposed under these conditions, but shoes back on and others easier to back

Made it 2 on the trot when courageous winner of a 2850m Laval Class D last Friday and, if still on the boil, could well pull off the hat-trick

Ran 2nd in a 2725m Cabourg Class E late last month before being disqualified. Respectable in 1 of 2 starts here but others preferred

Solid as a rock of late, latterly 2nd of 12 in a 2700m Segre Class D a month ago. Benjamin Rochard reining and, considering the entry, should not be overlooked
