Versatile hard-knocker with sound references in both trotting categories (seldom far off the mark). Didn't go unnoticed (7th) under the saddle at Caen on 9 November and is respected on her return to the harness code

Last-start winner over 2825m at Chartres on 4 November and needs only to confirm that form/improvement to fight for victory again. Candidate for success

Honest hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials at this level and in this shoe-fitting. Shouldn't be hastily condemned for finishing 11th at Reims over 2500m on 14 November

Complicated mare, rarely far from a fault though usually acquits herself well when avoiding disqualification. Shouldn't be hastily condemned for her latest failure at Cordemais on 24 November. All or nothing

She lost her way/form early this year at a higher level and shouldn't be underestimated/hastily condemned, despite finishing 11th at Mauquenchy on 10 November when resuming after a 9-month absence. Keep safe

Last-start winner in this (barefoot) configuration at Pornichet over 2725m on 31 October and she should play another leading role here under similar conditions. Respected

Inconsistent and out of sorts recently. Unlikely to trouble the judge on the evidence of her last start (13th) at Chateaubriant on 1 December. Others preferred

Consistent hard-knocker with sound references. Shouldn't be hastily condemned for her latest failure (11th) over 2825m at Cordemais on 24 November - can do better

Disqualified more often than not (in 7 of her last 8 starts) but has the undeniable means to win a race like this if applied/remaining wise. The drop in class and switch to this shoe-fitting for the first time could well prove a masterstroke - question of wisdom

Complicated mare, disqualified in 4 of her last 5 appearances - the latest at Ecommoy on 22 September. Must reaffirm - for another day

Experienced mare soundly beaten (unplaced) in all 9 appearances this year, the latest (12th) at Chartres over 2800m on 26 November. Others preferred

Delicate mare, seldom far from a fault - disqualified in 4 consecutive starts, the latest on this course over the same distance on 1 December when resuming after a 6-month absence. Best watched for now

Inconsistent and out of sorts recently but is undeniably capable of redeeming herself in a race of this nature. Didn't go unnoticed when finishing 7th at Cordemais over 2825m on 24 November - attractive outsider

Honest hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials at this level in this unshod configuration. Didnt go unnoticed when finishing 6th over 2550m at Reims on 14 November - place chance from the second row
