Useful sort that finished 6th of 12, on comeback, in a 2650m Vivaux Class C on 12 December. The run will have done him good but steps up in category and others easier to back

Unplaced in 2 here before being sanctioned in 6 January race of reference and is unlikely to shake things up

Would have finished 2nd in a 2925m Class D here earlier this month had he not faulted with 100m to go. Is placed well on front line and if applied, can play a part

Won 2 in a row here before being quickly sanctioned in a 2925m Class D here on 6 January. Enjoys a good draw and will be expected to bring the fight to LONDON JONES (8)

Never far from faulting but reassuring 3rd of 6 finishers in a 2925m Class D here on 6 January. Unlikely to paint the town red but can still pick up a first-5 cheque
Ecurie Du Vieux Chene

Got back in the game last Friday, winning a 2700m Class E here at 65/1. Goes barefoot again and, if focused, can finish close

Lost his action after 200m in a 2700m Class D here late last month. Unlikely to lose his maiden status but, with application, can play an important part
Ecurie Des Aulnaies

3rd of 9 finishers in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 3 January, on his first appearance since August. Will have progressed for the run and despite the wide draw still looks the pick of the field

Race Overview
Out of the first 3 just once in 6 career starts, LONDON JONES (8) gave a fine account of himself on his return to competition earlier this month. He will have progressed for the run, sports a new configuration for his Cagnes bow, and looks the horse to beat. He will still feel the heat from the excellent LOTHBROCK (4) who has won 5 of the 7 races he has finished, and the capable LUCIFER (7) who sports just front shoes in a bid to make up for his Cagnes sanction.
Selection:
8 - 4 - 7
