Would have fought out the finish in a similar event here late last month had he not faulted 200m out. Has little experience here but in current condition is easy to like for a first-5 payout

Made up for Vincennes blip when 3rd of 15 in a Class B over course and distance late last month. Front pads fitted this time though and a repeat seems most improbable

Pleased in 3 here last month prior to being sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class B 10 days ago. At this level though, will struggle to make his mark

Was not disgraced when 7th of 14 behind GAOTCHO JIEL (5) in a 2700m Vincennes Class B 3 weeks ago but still has more to find

Pleasant 5th of 11 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class B 3 weeks ago. Has decent Cagnes references, sports pads this time, and should not be written off

Back under harness after being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes monte Gr.3 on 12 January. Is patently in form though and can figure prominently if he keeps trotting

Takes a dip in class after running 9th of 16 behind HONKY TONK BLUES (10) in 2925m Gr.3 Prix de la Cote d'Azur here on 9 January. Boasts decent Cagnes credentials and will be expected to finish in the mix

10th of 16 behind HONKY TONK BLUES (10) in 2925m Gr.3 Prix de la Cote d'Azur here on 9 January. Has won 2 of 3 in the day's configuration but is unlikely to trouble the judge this time around

Ran better in the race of reference than his 7th of 11 finishers would suggest. Has little room for manoeuvre in this category though and can be passed over

5th of 16 in 2925m Gr.3 Prix de la Cote d'Azur here on 9 January. Is clearly on the way back up and will not be available at 41/1 this time

Makes Cagnes debut after running 4th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class B a month back. Should take well to the new conditions and even though reconfigured for the occasion, still looks competitively well-in

Runner-up in Grand Prix de Noel before finishing last of 8, when being conditioned, in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.3 11 days ago. Has never failed to deliver at Cagnes and looks set to open his Riviera account

Last of 14 in 2850m Gr.2 Prix de Belgique here 10 days ago. Did win a Class A under these conditions last month and, with 4 pads fitted this time, looks principal threat to HEDE DARLING (12)

Honourable 9th in 21 December race of reference. Always gives his best but represents no more than a minor place prospect

Last of 9 in a 2700m Vincennes Class B a month back. Did impose under these conditions last time here but may find the going a bit too tough
