Honest hard-knocker whose form/consistency and experience at this level on both surfaces off higher marks stand her in good stead. Didn't go unnoticed when 5th over 1950m at Chateaubriant on 16 July - hasn't been seen since

Has won 3 times and finished 2nd twice in 5 starts on this track, all over 1700m. Absent since her course-and-distance handicap victory on 27 March but respected on her reappearance

Inconsistent but retains sufficient means to be competitive in a race of this nature. Finished a well-beaten 12th in PSF handicap over 1900m at Deauville on 8 November - better expected

Versatile hard-knocker with sufficient means (form and experience on both surfaces) to make her presence felt at this level. Absent since finishing 10th in a 1600m turf handicap at La Test on 30 August - best watched for now

Consistent performer in Spain earlier this year and maintained her form/consistency in 2 starts back on French soil in 1900m turf handicaps at Bordeaux, the latest (3rd) on 5 November. Attractive outsider, even on this surface

Versatile veteran handicapper with sound references/form credentials on both surfaces. Unplaced (9th) in a 2100m handicap at this venue on 13 November but shouldn't be hastily condemned for that performance - keep safe

Versatile hard-knocking handicapper whose form/consistency and experience augur well for his chances, especially on this surface. Didn't go unnoticed when finishing 5th in a 1400m Saint-Cloud handicap on 15 November - respected

A course-and-distance specialist whose comeback 5th over 1700m at Saint-Brieuc on 11 November would've brought him on. Candidate for success given the likelihood of improvement

Made a winning handicap debut over 1400m at Deauville in April but struggled since - unplaced in her 4 subsequent outings, the latest (14th) on this course over 2100m on 13 November

Rejuvenated veteran mare/handicapper who has thrived this year and remains competitive off her current mark. Confirmed as much by finishing 2nd in a 1900m PSF handicap at Deauville on 8 November - sets the standard

An experienced handicapper whose consistency at this level off the same mark stands her in good stead, even on this surface (9th over track and trip in her last PSF appearance). Finished 7th in 1400m Le Mans handicap on 2 November

Inconsistent but undeniably capable of acquitting himself well in a race of this ilk, especially off a reduced mark after finishing 6th in a 2100m handicap at this venue on 13 November. Not taken lightly

Unplaced in all 6 handicap appearances but didn't go unnoticed when finishing 4th in a 1600m handicap at Le Mans off this (career-low) mark. Lacks references on PSF

Showed early promise but has been plagued by soundness issues. Unplaced in both appearances this after a lengthy layoff - soundly beaten (16th) in a 1900m PSF handicap at Deauville on 8 November
