Sprang an 87/1 surprise when finishing 2nd to KOCTEL DU DAIN (18) in 2850m Gr.2 Prix de Croix here 2 weeks ago. Front shoes off this time and must be taken more seriously

Failed to replicate Prix Octave Douesnel success when 5th in Gr.2 Prix de Croix earlier in the month but is no slouch on a good day and should not be ignored

Made up for Criterium Continental sanction when 3rd to KOCTEL DU DAIN (18) in 2850m Gr.2 Prix de Croix here 2 weeks ago. Goes barefoot for the occasion and will not be far off the mark if she stays in stride

Sanctioned in last 2, most recently Gr.2 Prix de Croix a fortnight back. Has references in this class but in current shape is not easy to recommend

Last but 1 in Criterium Continental prior to running 4th in Prix de Croix 2 weeks ago. Has never delivered at Gr.1 level but in current form is easy to like for a minor place cheque

Did not live to expectations when 6th of 11 finishers to KOCTEL DU DAIN (18) in 2850m Gr.2 Prix de Croix here 2 weeks ago. Cannot be considered a contender but still has the wherewithal to get a look-in

Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a monte 2700m Gr.3 here 3 weeks ago, and will have nothing to contribute

Makes first appearance since running 4th of 7 to EXECUTIV EK (12) over 2100m at Le Capannelle mid-November and is not about to cause an upset

Respectable 7th of 11 finishers to KOCTEL DU DAIN (18) in 2850m Gr.2 Prix de Croix here 2 weeks ago. Shod to preference this time but others still easier to back

Sanctioned in last 2, most recently 2850m Gr.2 Prix de Croix here a fortnight back, and will first need to get his house in order

Got back in the game on 22 December when 4th behind EAST ASIA (15) in Criterium Continental on 22 December and in similar shape can repeat

Quality Italian type that won a brace at home before coming 7th behind EAST ASIA (15) in Criterium Continental on 22 December. Is better than that though and is not to be underestimated

3rd to KOKOTE (3) in Gr.2 Prix Ariste Hemard before faulting early in 2100m Gr.1 Criterium Continental here on 22 December. Not a priority but will generate some interest

Won a Gr.1 under the saddle before being sanctioned in 2850m Gr.2 Prix de Croix here 2 weeks ago. Is plainly in decent shape and although preferred in the other code, should nevertheless give an honourable account

Excellent 2nd of 18 in 2100m Gr.1 Criterium Continental here on 22 December. Has form at this level and looks every bit a place prospect

Runner-up to KOKOTE (3) in Gr.2 Prix Ariste Hemard prior to coming 5th of 13 finishers in 2100m Gr.1 Criterium Continental here on 22 December. Will not have to contend with a bad draw this time and can give KOCTEL DU DAIN (18) something to think about

Has failed to fire since coming to France, latterly 8th of 11 finishers to KOCTEL DU DAIN (18) in 2850m Gr.2 Prix de Croix here 2 weeks ago, and others preferred

Made up for Criterium Continental disappointment when routing the opposition in 2850m Gr.2 Prix de Croix here 2 weeks ago and a similar performance would see him double up
