Got back in the game 2 weeks ago when 2nd of 14 in a 3150m Saint-Brieuc Class F. Starts in front and will not be available at 64/1 this time. First 5

7th of 9 on comeback in a 2725m Graignes Class E late last month. Has just once failed to deliver when barefoot racing right-handed and, considering the draw, should not be overlooked

Missed out by little on the double when 2nd of 9 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 3 December. Barefoot again and from the 3-spot will be no pushover

Ran 3rd at Vincennes before coming 6th of 14 behind KARAMEL JOYEUX (1) in a 3150m Saint-Brieuc Class F 2 weeks ago. Just front pads fitted for first time and can pick up a cheque

Returns to the provinces after finishing 5th of 10 in a 2175m Vincennes Class E a week ago. Has yet to deliver at Cabourg but is barefoot this time and can trot off with the silverware

6th of 11 in a 2050m Class E at Lyon-La Soie last week. Is competitively well-in here and the Benjamin Rochard-factor must be taken into account

Gave a reassuringly-good account when 3rd of 13 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E a fortnight ago. Is just 190 Euros from elimination and Adrien Lamy will be eager to capitalise. Chance

Not devoid of ability but sanctioned in 3 of last 4, most recently a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class E last week, and others easier to trust

Sprang a 69/1 surprise when 2nd of 12 in a 2550m Reims Class F late last month. Handed a tough draw though and a repeat looks decidedly unlikely

Encouraged at Angers before being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class E 3.5 weeks ago. Starts on back row and is unlikely to create an upset

Never at his ease when 7th of 13 behind KILLER BECO (7) in a 2700m Vincennes Class E a fortnight ago. Will be race-fit by now though and makes his Cabourg debut with legitimate ambition

Runner-up in last 2, latterly a 2750m Class F here earlier this month. Shoes back on though and best to wait

Has not been seen out since finishing 8th of 11 in a 3125m Angers Class E 2 months ago and will need the race

Tricky but useful element making first start since being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class D mid-September. Shoes on however and others preferred

Race Overview
Enjoying something of a resurgence since late-summer, KID DE LA BANIO (5) returns to racing barefoot, as he was when imposing late last month, and is ideally-placed to return to victorious ways. He will still encounter resistance from the likes of KILLER BECO (7) who is no slouch when shod, and the less-favourably-drawn KELLOU DES BRUMES (11) who, even though sporting shoes, has the wherewithal to finish close. Rejuvenated since being associated with Robin Lamy, KING AULNAIES (3) enjoys the plum spot in front and will have his chances.
