Tight winner of a 2700m Graignes Class E on 13 December. Faces a tougher task this time but is plainly a colt for the future and must be considered a contender

Put in a good effort to run 4th of 9 in a Class C over course and distance on 18 December. Is patently on the way up and the Eric Raffin-factor must be taken into account

Last of 6 in a 2550m Reims claimer on 7 December and in spite of a good draw, has no possible chance

Steps back up in category after coming 2nd of 9 in a claimer over course and distance early-December. Ideally-positioned behind the car but others still easier to support

Pleased on debut before comfortably winning a 2050m Laval Class F early last month. Takes on better this time but in current condition is very easy to like for a place in first 3

Won at La Capelle first time out before coming 4th of 9 in a 2175m Class D here on 5 December. Has more to find but is still unlikely to go home empty-handed

Made up for Chartres disappointment when victorious in a 2750m Cabourg Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but can still give this a good go. First 5

Respectable 4th of 9 behind MELCHIOR JAMES (5) in a 2050m Laval Class F early last month. Forced to break wide here though and is not about to spring a surprise

Put away after a promising debut only to fly up on re-entry last week in a 2050m Cabourg Class D. Returns with morale intact and has a realistic chance of doubling his money

Last of 9 behind MALANDRINO (2) in a Class C over course and distance on 18 December and will need to raise his game

Sanctioned on debut before finishing last of 12 in a 2150m Cordemais Class F last Sunday. Benjamin Rochard in the bike but still looks out of his depth
