Disappointed here late-August before running 2nd of 13 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class D on 25 September. Has merit but, on this occasion, will need to find more

Starts for first time since running 2nd of 12 in a 2725m Pornichet Class E on 21 September. Trainer used a priority-card to get a run and must be considered a serious proposition

Serious type with better credentials racing clockwise, most recently 2nd of 12 in a 2750m Cabourg Class D mid-October, but can go home with a small slice of the pie if he turns

11th of 13 behind KOKA RIGHT (8), when prepping for this in a 2200m Caen Class D a month ago. Will have come on during the break and looks a leading contender

Last but one in a 2200m Class D here late last month. Numbers do little to inspire confidence but races barefoot with JMB in the bike this time

Placed at Enghien under harness before trotting 2nd of 11 in a 2875m Argentan monte Class F early this month. Front shoes off but still faces a stiff test

Steps back up in class after finishing 6th of 9 finishers in a 2850m claimer here on 29 October, and with shoes on will have nothing to contribute

3rd of 12 in a 2875m Enghien Class D a month back. Plainly in shape, races barefoot for main-track debut, and appears competitively well-in

Last but one when preparing for this in a 2750m Cabourg Class D 3 weeks ago. Is proven here when barefoot and takes on his first objective of the new season with legitimate ambition

Unexceptional trotter that was sanctioned, when unsupported, in a 2825m Class B at Le Croise-Laroche on 1 October, and is not about to shake things up

Ran 3rd here in September before being pulled-up in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 17 October. Shod differently this time and should not be far from the action if he runs to his mark

7th of 13 in a 2750m Cabourg Class D 3 weeks ago. Hind shoes off for first time but, in this category, will struggle to make his mark

Has 2 races under his belt since the rest, latterly 8th of 11 in a 2700m Graignes Class B on 13 October. Has a lot going for him here and is not incapable of imposing

Race Overview
After having shown significant potential last winter, KART HAUFOR (4) has a pair of runs in him this term and, shod competitively, can open his main-track account. He will still meet resistance from the good KENDRICK (2) who has been afforded time to freshen up after having impressed at Pornichet, and the well-entered KADOR DU MONT (15) who races unshod-behind with Eric Raffin in the bike. Difficult to knock when barefoot and focused, KASSOUMAYE (11) has the wherewithal to finish in the mix.
