Disqualified in his first 3 appearances and unplaced in both subsequent/completed starts, the latest (7th) at Cagnes over 2925m on 18 December. Improvement needed

Disqualified for the 6th time in 7 appearances (all shod) in his last start at Beaumont on 20 December. Retains undeniable ability and may well confirm as much lightened in his shoeing (barefoot) for the first time - all or nothing with him!

Caught the eye with a fast-finishing 3rd at Bordeaux over 2650m on 17 December and will be competitive for the leading positions with a repeat of that performance. Keep safe

Made amends for his 11 November Saint-Galmier failure (disqualification) by winning at Grenade-sur-Garonne last month over 2725m (on 22 December). Needn't improve much in this configuration - unshod for the first time - to win again

Experienced 18-start maiden lightened in her shoeing (barefoot) for the first time. Soundly beaten in her last 3 starts, the latest (10th) over 2400m at Montauban on 29 December - best watched for now

Returned to form in her comeback from a 5-month absence, finishing 4th at Marseille-Vivaux over 2650m on 5 December. Further improvement on the cards with her hind shoes removed

Race Overview
LITTLE KING ELEVEN (11) was an authoritative winner of his last start at Grenade-sur-Garonne last month and needn't improve much with his shoes removed to score again. Enigmatic LOVE METHOD (8) and LEA DANSE (7), who caught the eye at Bordeaux last time out, could make life difficult for the selection. They lead the opposition ahead of Stephane Cingland's other representative LOVELY GAZELLE (13), after her pleasing comeback, and unreliable LOVE D'AMOUR (2) who has sufficient means.
Selection:
11 - 8 - 7
