Got back in the game when 2nd of 12 to JOURNEY OF DREAM (8) in a 2875m claimer here mid-October. Has not been seen since but is competitively shod and despite the inside draw, can pick up a cheque

Reliability not his strong suit but ran reassuring 3rd of 10, a place behind JOKER DU LYS (16), in a 2850m claimer here a month ago. Drawn well behind the car, reverts to a previous formula, and must be taken seriously

Last of 11 in a 2175m Class D here a week ago. Has been a write-off for some time and is not about to spring any surprises

Makes claiming debut after finishing 9th of 10 in a 2650m Vivaux Class F late-November. Nicely-positioned behind the car, is reconfigured for the occasion, but others still preferred

Unraced since running 5th of 13 in a 2875m Enghien claimer 3 months ago. Breaks from the 5-spot, with just hind shoes off, but appears to be biting off more than he can chew

Takes first steps in claiming category after faulting in a 2175m Class D here a week ago. Breaks in front and on good behaviour will be no pushover

Somewhat disappointing 7th of 11 behind IMPACT CASTELETS (9) in a 2150m Argentan Class E mid-December. Has never disappointed under these conditions though and must be respected

Sent for a rest after dominating a 2875m claimer here mid-October. Is clearly in conditioning mode and can bring home the bacon if sufficiently fit

Back in a category he likes 2 weeks after running 5th of 12 in a 2100m amateurs Class F over the main track. Would have preferred a better draw but has solid claiming credentials and will have his chances

Returned to productive ways when runner-up to JOKER DU LYS (16) in a 2100m claimer over the main track late-September. Will be fresh although the draw will do him no favours

Courageous 6th of 14 in a 2725m Cabourg Class F 3 weeks ago and even though reconfigured, will struggle to make any impact in this company

Sprang a 65/1 surprise when 4th of 12 in a 2500m Reims Class F on 24 November but has nothing to contribute this time

12th of 13 in a 2875m Argentan Class F last weekend. Barefoot this time but can still be confidently ruled out

Last but one in a 2100m Class D over main track late-November. Is proven at this level but in current form, and drawn poorly, will have no possible chance

9th of 11 in a 2850m Class E here 2 weeks ago. Has been off the boil since the summer and can be passed over

Won over 2100m of the main track before missing out by little in a 2850m claimer here a month ago. Allocated a shocking draw but comes here fresh and has the capacity to trot his way onto the podium

Race Overview
Although unraced for 3 months and forced to break wide, JOURNEY OF DREAM (8) has nevertheless proved himself very handy in the claiming division and, barefoot for the occasion, can pick up where he left off. JACK BARROW (6) may not be the easiest of horses to handle but he will be dangerous if Theo Raffin keeps him focused. IMPACT CASTELETS (9) didn't win the allocation lottery but he has nothing to prove at this level and will not be far from the action if positioned early. Considerably more competitive since dropping to the claiming category, JOKER DU LYS (16) is forced to start wide on the back line but with some luck in running can finish close.
