Serious trotter starting for first time since winning a 3150m Saint-Brieuc Class F last March, and will need the outing

Sanctioned in last 4, most recently a 2825m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 2 October, and will have few friends

Last of 11, on first start since the spell, in a 2750m Cabourg Class D 2.5 weeks ago, and will first need to re-establish his credentials

3rd here before running courageous 2nd of 12 in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 30 September. Shoes on this time but still looks competitive for a spot in the mix

6th of 11 in a 2750m Le Pertre Class E, when preparing for this, a fortnight ago. Has talent in spades and will have a lot to contribute if Pierre-Yves Verva keeps her focused

2nd of 7 finishers in a 2250m Enghien Class E 3 weeks ago. Takes on a better bunch this time but still has the wherewithal to get in on the action

Useful sort making first appearance since being sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 19 September. Still in conditioning mode though and best to keep one's powder dry

Unremarkable 7th of 8 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E a month ago. Out of sorts since the summer though and, with shoes on, cannot be considered a player

Won 2 and placed 3 times in last 5 under the saddle, latterly 3rd of 9 in a 2850m Laon Class F on 13 October. Not expected to win this but can still continue the productive run

Last of 10, on return to competition, in a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-October. Will have progressed for the run and, competitively-shod, looks a serious proposition

Last of 15 in a 2700m harness Class E at Le Croise-Laroche early this month, and will not be springing any surprises

Sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes harness Class D when being conditioned late last month. Has buckets of ability and will be a tough nut to crack if she stays in stride

Debuts in the discipline after finishing 6th of 13 in a 2725m Lisieux harness Class F early this month. Enjoys a good entry though and will be one to watch
