Returned to winning ways last week in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E. Gets on well with Alexis Collette and under these conditions is easy to like for the double

Has not been seen out since finishing an oddly-lacklustre last of 13 in a 2650m Cordemais Class D 2 months ago. Handed a decent draw and the engagement of a leading driver will only work to her advantage

7th of 11 to FERGIE HIGHLAND (1) when prepping for this in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E last week. Barefoot as he was at Graignes, is well-drawn, but still has more to find

In the frame in 4 of last 5, most recently 3rd of 8 finishers in a 2600m Saint-Galmier Class D a month ago. Matthieu Abrivard in the bike for first time, is ideally-placed behind the car, and must not be underestimated

Has 3 runs in him since the long layoff, most recently 7th of 14 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class D on 13 November. Placed nicely in front and will be expected to make first 5 this time

6th of 11, behind FAKIR DE GESVRES (13), in a claimer over course and distance a week ago. Seldom delivers at this level and is not about to break the mould

3rd of 10, at 44/1, in a 2950m Toulouse Class C on 13 November. Rejuvenated since returning to racing barefoot and, twice a winner in 4 starts over the main track, is unlikely to disappoint

Smartly won a 2850m Class E here early last month. Has yet to deliver over 2100m on the main track but with JMB at the helm again, will have his chances

5th of 10 in a 3000m Borely Class D on 20 November. Sports a fresh configuration but sanctioned in last 5 under these conditions and will have few friends

Impressive, but surprising, winner of a 3000m Class D at Marseille-Borely last week. Paul Ploquin gets the nod this time but still not an obvious choice

9th of 14, behind FERGIE HIGHLAND (1), in a Class D under these conditions on 25 October. Raced better that day than the result would suggest and, although not a contender, can nevertheless get a look-in

7th of 18 behind FRANCO FLEURI (15), on comeback, in a 2825m Durtal Class F on 13 October. Will have come on for the run, races barefoot this time, but appears to have little to offer

Steps back up in category after coming 4th of 11 in a claimer over track and trip a week ago, but is simply out of his league

Admirable 2nd of 12 in a 3000m Borely Class C mid-November. 4 pads fitted this time though and best to hold off

Just beaten by ETHAN DRIVE (8) in a 2850m Class E here early last month. Is patently back at his best and even though without references over this trip, and poorly-drawn, he is very hard to ignore

9th of 10, when being conditioned, in a 2200m Class D at Salon-de-Provence 12 days ago. Barefoot this time but the draw will not aid her plight
