Won a course-and-distance claimer last month and shouldn't be hastily condemned for finishing 7th in a course-and-distance handicap on 26 November. Keep safe

Consistent and versatile veteran with sound references at this level on both surfaces, including a last-start 4th on PSF over 2150m at Lyon-La Soie on 6 December

Honest hard-knocker with references over obstacles and on the flat, including a commendable last-start 5th in a course-and-distance handicap on 26 November. One for the shortlist

Lightly raced and unreliable 7-year-old who finished 3rd in a 2100m claimer in his only PSF appearance back in 2020. Soundly beaten (13th) over 2400m in a conditions race at La Roche-sur-Yon on 29 September

Consistent and versatile performer whose references at a higher level include a last-start 5th in a PSF claimer over 2700m at Chantilly on 7 December. Candidate for success

Inconsistent performer on turf. Races on PSF for the first time after an unsuccessful attempt (7th) over hurdles at Argentan on heavy ground over 4200m on 20 October - best watched for now

Well-performed veteran on turf but soundly (10th) beaten in his only PSF appearance over 2700m at Chantilly in a claimer on 7 December. Attractive outsider

Versatile 12-year-old veteran with references on both surfaces - finished 4th in a course-and-distance claimer last month and didn't go unnoticed (5th) in a 2100m PSF claimer at Pornichet on 15 December. Outsider

An 11-start maiden soundly beaten in 10 turf appearances and in her first start on this surface (14th) last time in a 2400m handicap at Pornichet on 8 December. Others preferred

Placed once in 5 PSF appearances and finished unplaced (5th) last time on heavy ground at Mont-de-Marsan over 2000m on 10 November. For another day

Lightly raced filly with sound references/form credentials, albeit on turf. Unplaced (8th) in her only start on the PSF and in a 2400m handicap (11th) on heavy ground at Craon on 1 December. Respected at this level, though
