Quickly sanctioned when well-supported in a 2750m Cabourg Class E early this month. Is better than recent numbers would suggest and despite the inside draw, can play a small role

9th of 12 in a 2700m Class C here on 31 December. Takes to the claiming category with Alexandre Abrivard reining and a realistic chance of challenging for the win

8th of 11, on comeback, in a 2700m Class E here on 18 December. Disappointing on the whole and even though reconfigured, is unlikely to make much of an impact
Karim Tadlaoui

Ran 3rd under these conditions before coming 5th of 12 finishers to KELLE EAU (12) in a 2700m claimer here on 13 December. Has good speed, enjoys a fine place on front line, and should be able to make the frame this time

Makes first appearance since finishing 8th of 10 in a 2700m Class E here on 25 November. Barefoot for the occasion, is nicely-drawn, and deserves to be taken seriously

h0hDhDh7h9h9
9th of 10 finishers in a 2100m Class E over main track 2.5 weeks ago. Has made no impact for some time and is not about to break the mould

Quickly sanctioned on re-entry in a 2925m Cagnes Class D on 3 January. Will have come on for the run though and, if focused, can impose

Failed to fire when 6th of 12 finishers to KELLE EAU (12) in a 2700m claimer here on 13 December. Is considerably better than the result would imply, and even though starting wide in front, can still play a prominent role
Andre Alfred Leveque

h5hDh0h5h9hD
Disappointing over the main track before being sanctioned early in a 2550m Bordeaux Class D late last month. Is confirmed in this category and will not be far off the mark if Anthony Barrier positions him early
Philippe Rennesson

h9h8h7h3h4h7
Ran 4th in race of reference before finishing 7th of 9 in a 2100m Class E over main track a fortnight ago. Handed a tough draw and can expect to find this a stiff test
Nicolas Caullery

h4h1hDh8hDh8
8th of 11, on return to competition, over 2300m at Kuurne on 6 December. Takes on some tough elements this time and will have little to contribute
A Lebourgeois

Opened her claiming account at first time of asking, comfortably dominating a number of these over 2700m here on 13 December. On 2nd line and unlikely to repeat but can still finish in the mix

Failed to confirm late-December performance when sanctioned in a 2700m Class E here on 3 January. Has merit, sports revised shoeing, but the draw will do her no favours

8th of 12 finishers to KELLE EAU (12) in a 2700m claimer here on 13 December. Shoes on again and poses no danger

Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2100m Class E over main track a fortnight ago. Reconfigured but has been handed a tough draw and can be passed over

Race Overview
It's anyone's race this but KALINE DES RIOULTS (7) has nothing to prove at a level like this and despite being drawn wide, she can wrap this up if her handler keeps her trotting. Better-placed in the 2-spot, KINNAIRD (2) has yet to make her mark here but in this category must be considered a leading contender. KALIKA DU RIS (4) has been lurking of late and the excellent draw will only work to her advantage. KERGOMAR SIBEY (8) failed to live up to expectations last month but still has the capacity to play a more competitive role this time.
Selection:
7 - 2 - 4
