Last but one when preparing for this in a Class C over track and trip on Christmas Eve. Shoes off this time but chances still slim

Spirited at the break, running 4th of 15 in a 2100m Class D here on 6 December. Tends to go well for JMB though and will have his chances if he gets off on the right foot

Makes first start since winning a 2725m Graignes Class C mid-October. Shod to preference but others easier to back

Would have finished 3rd of 14 in a 2100m Class D here on 16 January had he not faulted 100m out. Is in his category and will not be far from the action if kept trotting

Put a trio of sanctions behind him when 5th of 7 behind GORDON MIJACK (15) in 16 January race of reference but still needs to find more

Sanctioned when well-backed in a 2100m Class D here 9 days ago. Alexandre Abrivard in the wagon this time and can finish thereabouts if he keeps his charge focused

3rd of 15 in a 2150m Cagnes Class D on 6 January. Trainer won this race 12 months ago and knows how to seal the deal. Claim

Last of 11 in a 2850m Class D here 2.5 weeks ago and, even racing barefoot, appears to have no realistic chance

Won 16 January race of reference only to be disqualified for interference. Matthieu Abrivard stays faithful though and should not be overlooked

4th under these conditions in the other code before breaking into a gallop when competitive in na 2850m monte Class D mid-December. Has decent harness references and if applied can finish close

Off the boil this winter, most recently 11th of 14 behind GALION (4) in a 2100m Class D here on 16 January, and can expect to have few friends

Produced a pair of good performances before finishing last of 8 in a 2650m Bordeaux Class A on 27 December. Takes on a better bunch this time and chances limited

Useful type but below-par in last 3 here, latterly 9th of 14 behind GALION (4) in a 2100m Class D here on 16 January, and must first re-establish his credentials

Not the most fortunate when 8th of 12 finishers behind BEHIND BARS (12) in a 2100m Class D here on 7 December. Has already won 3 times for his driver and should logically finish close at the business end of the race

Returns to racing barefoot after running 3rd of 7 finishers in a 2100m Class D here on 16 January. Not a priority but has the wherewithal to make first 5

Enjoys a superb entry but will need to show marked improvement on his 9th of 11 in a Class C over track and trip on 27 December
