Reliable hard-knocker who was for victory at the time of his fault on 17 January over 3000m at Nantes on 17 January. Can make amends

Consistent and lightly raced trotter with sound references/form credentials in both codes, including consecutive 2nds in recent harness races - the latest over 2750m at Caborug on 2 January. Wouldn't be winning out of turn

Disqualified once and unplaced 4 times in 5 starts last year and finished 7th over 2325m at Toulouse on 7 January. Can be ruled out

Last-start winner over 2725m at Cabourg on 19 December. Ought to remain competitive for the leading places

Versatile but delicate performer seldom far from a fault, though usually acquits himself competitively when remaining wise - confirmed as much with a good 3rd under the saddle on this course over 2650m on 9 January. Dark horse

Experienced hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials at a higher, including a last-start 6th at Vincennes over 2100m on 1 January. Keep safe

Improved to finish a reassuring 2nd over 2950m at Toulouse in this shoe-fitting on 16 January. Not taken lightly

Versatile trotter whose recent performances in the harness category were encouraging, the latest (4th) over 3000m at Nantes on 17 January. On the shortlist

Versatile but unreliable mare whose best references/performances were achieved racing unshod. Disqualified under the saddle at Nantes on 17 January
