Lightly raced ultra-consistent performer at the top of his game and whose form references/credentials, include a 2450m Castillonnes victory in September and a creditable last-start 4th over3275m at Saumur on 20 October

Versatile but delicate trotter with undeniable means - boasts sound references/form credentials in both trotting disciplines, including an improved/encouraging last-start 4th in a 3000m Nantes harness race on 16 December

Joined current yard/trainer after finishing 2nd in a 2850m Vincennes claimer in November and finished 4th over 2400m at Amiens for new connections on 1 December. Long-time maiden (44 starts) with place prospects

Experienced but unreliable mare and currently out of sorts - finished 2nd over 3100m at Chinon in mid-August but unplaced in 3 subsequent starts, the latest (8th) over 2800m at Rambouillet on 6 October. Others preferred

Acquitted himself well in both visits to this course (2nd and 5th), albeit over further. Absent since finishing 11th at Durtal on 14 July but remains open to improvement on his reappearance so must be respected - keep safe

A long-time 48-start maiden with the form and experience to acquit herself competitively. Showed her form and well-being by finishing 4th over 2725m at Grenade-sur-Garonne on 8 December

Experienced hard-knocker who seldom finishes far off the mark and whose references/form credentials include a recent 7th (didn't go unnoticed) at Lyon-Parilly over 2600m on 1 December. Will appeal to lovers of outsiders

Inconsistent but retains sufficient means, especially under these conditions/in this configuration. Shouldn't be hastily condemned for finishing 10th over 2700m at Le Croise-Laroche on 16 December - attractive outsider

Honest hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials - seldom far off the mark, though most effective racing unshod. Disqualified in a 2600m harness race at Meslay on 19 December but remains capable of better

Complicated but not devoid of ability (has references at a higher level in this shoeing configuration). Shouldn't be hastily condemned for her recent disqualification (shod) at Nantes on 16 December, unshod on this occasion

Relatively consistent trotter who seldom finishes far off the mark but rarely wins (1 victory from 49 starts). Didnt go unnoticed when finishing 7th (unshod) over 2750m at Cabourg on 17 December - races shod here, outsider

Unplaced in 6 consecutive starts before her latest failure (disqualification) at Mauquenchy in a 2850m harness event on 17 November. Others preferred

Consistent hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials on a right-hand track with Maxence Duveau at the helm. Has finished 4th twice and 3rd thrice, the latest at Meslay (2600m) on 19 December, in his last 5 starts

Unreliable but undeniably capable trotter, especially in this configuration - won at Caen in September with this shoe-fitting. Finished 9th (shod) at Cabourg on 23 December but shouldn't be underestimated

Experienced trotter with undeniable means/sound references but most effective without his irons (unshod). Disqualified in a 2600m harness race at Meslay on 19 December - best watched for now

Inconsistent performer with undeniable means, especially under these conditions/in this configuration - boasts references at a higher level. Unplaced (11th) over 2700m at Vincennes on 22 December but will find this easier
