4th of 8 in a 2650m Bordeaux Class C a fortnight ago. Has excellent monte form at home in Sweden but faces a stiff test, and even with Eric Raffin in the saddle is unlikely to influence the result

Makes just 2nd appearance under the saddle after finishing 7th of 11 in a 2100m harness Class D here on 3 January and can expect to have few friends

Serious Swedish sort that has thrived since coming to France, most recently 5th of 11 in a 2100m harness Class C here on 4 December. Won his only monte start at the venue and has every chance of confirming

4th of 8 behind HOUARNEAU (11) in a 2850m Class D here 10 days ago. Always gives her best but appears to have too much to do this time

Flattering 2nd under the saddle before being sanctioned in a 2700m harness Class D here 2 weeks ago. Shod to preference but still not a priority

Has been knocking at the door for some time, latterly 2nd of 7, in 1'11''7 , over course and distance on 2 December, and is not without a claim on the prize

Encouraging 2nd of 11 in a 2100m harness Class D here 3 weeks ago. Has shown significant potential in the code and will have his chances if he stays in stride

Continued his rich vein of form when 3rd of 10 in a 2600m harness Class D at Meslay-du-Maine on 19 December. Has no monte references but in current form and configuration is very easy to like

4th of 13 when preparing for this in a 2550m Bordeaux harness Class D on 17 December. Is confirmed at this level and is unlikely to go home empty-handed

Back under the saddle after running 4th of 14 in a 2750m Cabourg harness Class D on 17 December. Placed under these conditions during the autumn but will need to be at his best this time

Has done nothing but improve lately, most recently 2nd of 8 in a 2850m Class D here 10 days ago. Reunited with Lilian Bertin who won with him during the autumn and must be afforded respect

Reassuring 3rd of 7 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class D 2 months ago. Has not been seen since but is competitively-shod and will generate some interest

Takes first public steps in the discipline after coming 3rd of 14 in a 2825m Cordemais harness Class F mid-December and if form transitions, can make this his own
