Encouraged across town before finishing 8th of 13 in a 2150m Class D at the same venue on 19 October. Not the easiest to handle but with a top jockey in the irons, must be taken seriously

Won at Cabourg but unable to confirm after being sanctioned in a 2200m Class E here 3 weeks ago. Showed his form though but prospects still rather limited

Makes first appearance since faulting early in a 2700m Class C here last May. Won on debut over the main course and although unraced since May, Damien Bonne is in the saddle and will generate interest

Useful but complicated individual that ran 6th of 10 finishers in a 2200m Class E here 3 weeks ago. Should be race-fit by now but others still easier to back

Has not been seen out since easily winning a 2250m Enghien Class E on 9 October. Has had ample time to get back to his best and the addition of pads could help to seal the deal. Chance

Reassuring 2nd of 10 finishers in a 2200m Class E here 3 weeks ago. Has no references over the main course but Victor Saussaye has kept the ride and is unlikely to let his charge go down easily

Valiant, but beaten, 5th of 7 finishers in a 2700m Class C here last week. Takes on another good field and is not a consideration

Lacklustre last of 9 finishers in 19 November race of reference and can be confidently passed over

Clearly in shape but lost his action in 19 November race of reference. May need another run but is not to be discounted

Sanctioned on re-entry 2.5 weeks ago in a Class D over course and distance. Entrusted to Mathieu Mottier for first time and has the wherewithal to win a race of this nature, but must first keep his action together

7th of 9 finishers in a Class D over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Will have progressed for the run, has previously imposed under these conditions, and must be viewed more seriously this time

Superior winner of a Class E over course and distance 10 days ago. Has a good future ahead of him and even though stepping up in category still looks a leading contender
