Pleased at Enghien before coming an unfortunate 6th of 14 in a 2850m Laval Class E last Friday but, with Benjamin Rochard engaged for first time, will not go down without a fight. Place prospect

Courageous, and surprising, 5th of 15 in a 2850m Laval Class D on 1 November. Has never excelled at Mauquenchy though and racing shod will do him no favours

Sanctioned in 2 before finishing 7th of 15 in a 2875m Argentan amateurs Class G 10 days ago, and even sporting pads, is unlikely to cause an upset

Put in a good finish to run 5th of 14 in a 2775m Class E at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 21 October. Has already won for Franck Nivard and will be justifiably well-supported

Disappointing since winning twice over the summer, most recently 9th of 15 behind HELIOS D'EURVAD (2), in a 2850m Laval Class D on 1 November. Must re-establish her credentials

Drops in category after running 7th of 16 in a 2775m Class D at Les Sables-d'Olonne 3.5 weeks ago. Has placed in 2 of 3 here and, sports a new configuration, is not to be underestimated

Serious type that finished 13th of 16, on return to competition, in a 3000m Nantes Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Competitively-shod, with Eric Raffin in the bike, and looks a genuine candidate for success

15th of 16 in a 3000m Nantes Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Has done nothing noteworthy for some time and, even racing barefoot, is not about to buck the trend

Last but one, when preparing for this, in a 2675m Class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 10 days ago and will once again struggle to make his mark

Left a good impression on first start back, coming 5th of 14 in a 2725m Graignes Class D a month ago. Has had time to come on and even though new to the venue, should be thereabouts at the finish

Dependable trotter that ran last of 16 in a 3000m Nantes Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Barefoot this time and is not incapable of playing an active role

Unable to confirm good Toulouse performance when 10th of 15 in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 1 October, and is unlikely to spring a surprise

10th of 14 in a 2625m Paray-le-Monial Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Races shod and will have nothing to contribute

2nd of 13 in a 3125m Angers Class E on 20 October. Well-entered here and, considering his liking for the venue, can make this his own
