Won at Strasbourg before running 4th of 8 in a 2200m Class E here late last month. Faces a better bunch this time however and chances limited

Opened ridden account at Wolvega early-November before faulting over 2100m at the same venue next time, but is barefoot on this occasion, with Mathieu Mottier aboard, and can play an important part

Pleasantly surprising 4th of 11 in a 2175m Class E here on 11 December. Is plainly on way back up and will generate some interest

Back in the code after coming 4th of 14 in a 2100m harness Class D here on 25 November. Did run 3rd in Gr.1 Saint-Leger des Trotteurs in 2022 though and, sporting modified shoeing, can get in on the action

2nd to JACARANDA (11) on monte debut before being sanctioned in a 2100m harness Class D when prepping for this earlier this month. Paul Ploquin back in the saddle and looks a major player

Makes ridden bow after running 3rd of 8 under harness over 1640m at Romme late last month. Westholm-trained runners in cracking form at present and must be taken seriously

Won 2 of last 4, latterly a harness Class E over course and distance. Gets on well with his jockey and, if form transitions, he should be in a position to challenge for the spoils

Lacklustre 5th of 7 finishers, a place behind JAZZY THOURJAN (10), in a Class D under these conditions 3 weeks ago, and can be confidently ruled out

Last but one in a 2100m harness Class D here on 6 December. Sanctioned on lone appearance in the code, but sports modified shoeing for the occasion and should not be written off

Flattering 4th of 7 finishers in a Class D under these conditions 3 weeks ago and is not about to create an upset

Won twice over course and distance lately, most recently a Class D with authority a month ago, and considering the entry, should be able to wrap this up
