Sanctioned when heavily-backed in a 2750m Class E here late last month. Starts in front, sports a new configuration, and with application will not be far from the action

Surprising 5th of 13 in a 2750m Class E here on 28 October, but confirmation is not anticipated

Failed to confirm Beaumont-de-Lomagne success when sanctioned in a 2750m Class E here on 28 October. Form is not in question though and, reunited with Frederic Clozier, can play a prominent role

Trounced here late-October before coming 5th of 10 finishers in a 2375m Castelsarrasin Class F 10 days ago. Barefoot this time but still appears to be taking on too much

3rd of 11 in a 2375m Castelsarrasin Class F 10 days ago but, in this category, will struggle to make his presence felt

Got off the mark at Grenade-sur-Garonne early this month before running 4th of 11, a place behind KOALA DU DROPT (5), in a 2375m Castelsarrasin Class F 10 days ago. Breaks in front and will be one to watch

Unexceptional 6th of 9 in a 2750m Class E here on 28 October and will have nothing to contribute

Sanctioned in last 3, most recently on re-entry in a 2750m Class E here on 28 October, and will have few friends

Reassuring, but surprising, runner-up to KRIS ROC (16) in a 2400m Beaumont Class E early this month. Hind pads fitted this time and a repeat seems unlikely

Sanctioned, on comeback, in a 2400m Beaumont Class E early this month. Shoes on this time and can be passed over

Surprise 2nd at Beaumont before finishing 6th of 9 in a 2400m Montauban Class D a month ago. Hind shoes off this time but is still not the easiest to recommend

6th of 9, behind KYARA (18), in a Class C over course and distance 2 months ago. Comes here rested, first-time barefoot, and must be worth retaining

Honest filly that ran 5th of 10 finishers, behind KRISS D'AVIGNERE (11), in a 2400m Beaumont Class D on 13 October. Races barefoot again but others still preferred

Tricky type that has failed to make his mark this term, latterly sanctioned in a 2625m Agen Class B on 23 October. Shoes on and others easier to like

Sanctioned early in a 2200m Caen Class D on 12 October. Has bags of ability, ran well here in September and, the Eric Raffin-factor must be taken into account

Convincing winner of a 2400m Class E at Beaumont-de-Lomagne on 1 November. Goes barefoot again, is confirmed here, and can again challenge for the win

Made a fine return to competition in a 2200m Caen Class D on 12 October. Has had time to come on, trainer back in the bike, and can win this if he manages to keep his charge trotting

Finished ahead of KYMJO DE BELFOND (15) here in September, most recently 2nd of 11 in a 2300m Borely Class D on 24 October. Has a lot going for her here and must be considered a contender
