Honest and versatile hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials in handicaps on both surfaces. Shouldn't be hastily condemned for finishing 15th in a 2500m PSF handicap at Deauville on 26 November

An ultra-consistent performer who continues to run well on both surfaces in claimers, handicaps and conditions events. Showed his form/well-being with a close-up 4th in a 2500m Class 4 conditions race on PSF at Deauville on 19 December

Improved in first-time headgear to win a 2100m PSF handicap on this course earlier this month (12 December). Ought to remain competitive under a 2m5kg penalty with the headgear retained

Belatedly doubled his account when rewarded for consistency with a last-start victory in a 2500m Deauville handicap on the PSF last month (26 November). The resultant 2,5kg penalty shouldn't prevent another forward showing

Honest hard-knocker on a competitive mark and in good form/physical condition - confirmed as much by finishing 3rd in a course-and-distance handicap on 7 December. Candidate for success

Experienced 16-start maiden with sound references, albeit without a win - seldom finishes far off the mark in turf handicaps. Unknown quantity on PSF and a well-beaten 12th in a 3000m Strasbourg handicap on 8 September

Won a course-and-distance handicap on 7 December before proving his competitiveness under a 2,5kg penalty (current mark) by finishing 4th in a 2500m PSF handicap at Deauville on 23 December. Not taken lightly

Won a 2500m PSF handicap at Deauville on 20 November but struggled (well-beaten 12th) under a 2kg penalty in a subsequent PSF handicap at Pornichet on 8 December. For another day

Finished 2nd (Deauville, 2500m) and 3rd (Lyon-La Soie, 3200m) in 2 comeback outings on PSF after a 4-month absence before her recent failure (10th) in a 2500m PSF handicap at Deauville on 23 December. Capbale but inconsistent

Unreliable but lightly raced 6-year-old with sound references/form credentials in handicaps on both surfaces and scope for improvement. Unplaced (8th) in a 2400m conditions race at Lyon-La Soie on 6 December - can do better

Confirmed the improvement of his Deauville 2nd (2500m PSF handicap) last month with a creditable last-start 5th in a course-and-distance handicap on 7 December. On the shortlist

Unplaced in all 3 comeback appearances after a 6-month absence. Well-beaten 11th in a 2000m PSF handicap at Pau on 21 December. Others preferred

Lightly raced mare whose last-start 6th in a course-and-distance handicap on 7 December (first PSF appearance) didn't go unnoticed - unable to secure clear running room, finished with running in her. Attractive outsider with headgear fitted

Consistent and versatile hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials in handicaps on both surfaces, including a last-start 3rd in a course-and-distance handicap on 7 December. Keep safe

Won a 2400m PSF handicap at Pau in late November but struggled (finished last of 13) off his current mark/under a 2kg penalty in a 2600m PSF handicap at Marseille-Vivaux on 7 December. Best watched for now

Unplaced in his last 4 starts (3 claimers) back on French soil, the latest (7th) in a 2400m Pornichet PSF handicap on 8 December. Hard to recommend
