Quality colt that ran close 3rd of 12 in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 25 November. Races first-time right-handed but considering what he has done to date, a place on the podium is well within his reach

Steps up in category after coming 2nd of 10 in a 2650m Bordeaux claimer 3.5 weeks ago. Is confirmed here and the draw will only work to his advantage. Place prospect

Has 2 races under his belt, latterly sanctioned early in a 2200m Vincennes Class D a month ago. Seems far off his best and even though freshly-configured still looks out of his league

Handy colt starting for first time since being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class C late-May, but is going to need the run

5th of 7 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 5 December. Goes first time barefoot but others still preferred

Tenacious winner of a 2750m Class E here a fortnight ago. Is a colt with bags of potential and legitimately bids to keep his perfect Cabourg record intact

Makes first start since being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 30 October. Starts wide, with shoes on, and best to hold off

Sanctioned, after a short spell, in a 2575m Saint-Brieuc Class E on 6 December. Is proven here but looks race-rusty

Useful sort that faulted when going well, on re-entry, coming 9th of 12 in a 2175m Vincennes Class E on 21 December. Has yet to disappoint racing clockwise and even though handed a tough draw will not be far from the action

Put 3 sanctions behind him to comfortably win a 2350m Angers Class F 3.5 weeks ago. On the back line but is plainly in excellent condition and, with application, will be no soft touch

3rd of 12 in a 2700m Class E at Lyon-La Soie 3 weeks ago. Competitively-shod for first time but appears to be taking on too much

Qualified in 1’15”3 at Caen in October before running 3rd of 10 to LOVEBIRD (6) in a 2750m Class E here a fortnight ago. Has significantly more to give, races unshod-behind, and in spite of a poor draw must be taken seriously

Unable to confirm Amiens victory when 8th of 12 behind LOVER DE TAGOR (1) in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 25 November. Should not be hastily-condemned though and Alexis Garandeau will be keen to put things right

3rd over course and distance before finishing 8th of 10 finishers in a 2200m Vincennes monte Class E mid-November. Failed to win the draw-lottery and even though barefoot, looks no more than a minor place prospect
