Raced better in a Class D over course and distance mid-month than his 8th of 11 would suggest. Is well-regarded at home and it will not be long before he comes good. Attention

11th of 13, when being conditioned, in a 3000m Nantes Class B on 6 November. Has yet to be defeated when sporting hind pads and Theo Duvaldestin will be determined to keep that record intact

Undefeated in 4 starts to date. Unseen however since winning a Class C over course and distance last June and best to hold off

8th of 10 in a 2950m Toulouse Class A on 22 November. Has looked very ordinary lately and is unlikely to garner much support

Drops in category after finishing 7th of 8 in a Class A over course and distance 8 days ago, but still looks out of his depth

Won over the short course before being sanctioned in a 2175m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Takes on a good bunch and is unlikely to influence the result

5th of 7 finishers, a place behind LAMONT DU DOUET (13), in a 2175m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Is considerably better than that and can make amends if Eric Raffin keeps him out of trouble

Won at Parilly before faulting in 8 November race of reference. Is clearly on a fine run of form and will not be far from the action if he keeps trotting

4th of 7 finishers, a place behind LAMONT DU DOUET (13), in a 2175m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Is sure to give his everything once again but cannot be considered more than a minor place chance

3rd of 9 in a 2875m Argentan Class A on 3 November. Enjoys a good entry and Franck Nivard will be eager to capitalise. Claim

Sanctioned after meeting traffic problems in a 2175m Class B here 3 weeks ago, but must nevertheless re-establish his credentials

Sanctioned, on return to competition, in a Class A over course and distance 8 days ago. Has never delivered over the main track but the Alexandre Abrivard-factor cannot be ignored

3rd over track and trip before coming 3rd of 7 finishers, at 59/1, in a 2175m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but will still have his supporters
