5th of 10 in a 2450m Caen Class F on 9 November. Scored a hat-trick during the summer but is being aimed too high this time

Lost his maiden status at Angers and was then sanctioned in a 2650m Saint-Galmier Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Disregard

Won a 2625m Cherbourg Class F on 1 November. Comes here fresh but, in this category, is unlikely to confirm

Unraced since finishing last of 9 in a 2800m Langon Class E late-July and will have nothing to offer

6th of 8, on re-entry, in a 3000m Chateaubriant Class F 3.5 weeks ago. Entrusted to Alexandre Abrivard for first time and will be expected to apply the pressure on his stablemate

Showed marked improvement when 3rd of 14 in a 2600m Parilly Class E 3 weeks ago, but in this company will have his work cut out

Back under harness after finishing 5th of 9 in a monte Class E over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Has ample ability but may be taking on too much this time

Honest sort that ran 4th of 13 in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle on 11 November. Hind shoes off this time but still cannot be considered a priority

Got back in the game when 2nd of 11 in a 3125m Angers Class F 12 days ago and with application can repeat

Excluded, on first start back, in a 2725m Graignes Class E a fortnight ago. Hind shoes off but others still easier to back

Quality trotter but sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2200m Class E here 3.5 weeks ago. Reverts to a previous formula though and, if applied, can finish thereabouts

Made it 2 in a row when comfortably winning a 2150m Mauquenchy Class F early last month and is the most likely to bring the fight to KNOCK OUT MAKER (13)

Serious type that easily won a 2400m Amiens Class E late-September. Has had ample time to recover and can extend his already-impressive 50% win-rate

2nd of 8, on first start since the spell, in a 2725m Graignes Class F on 2 November. Has had time to progress and although not a contender, can still get a look-in

Showed his form despite being sanctioned in a Class E over course and distance 11 days ago. Reconfigured for the occasion and will not be far from the action if he stays in stride

Dominated a 2550m Reims Class F, on return from the spell, 3 weeks ago. Imposed last time racing left-handed and, considering the entry, must be taken seriously
