Has not been seen out since coming 4th of 7 in a 2300m Chateaubriant Class E last May. Champion driver in the bike and will be dangerous if he manages to keep his charge trotting

Unlucky 6th of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E 3 weeks ago. Ran 2nd over track and trip on debut and looks the pick this time

Makes first start since finishing last of 9 in a 2525m Class E at Les Andelys last June. Is 25m better off this time, races barefoot for the occasion, and must not be ignored

7th of 8 finishers, on return to competition, in a 2425m Angers Class F a month back and is unlikely to improve on that

Unremarkable type that ran 6th of 13 behind LIONEL ECUS (7) in a 2850m Maure Class F a fortnight ago and will have few takers

Sanctioned early in a 2850m Laval Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Has evident ability but others still easier to trust

3rd here last month before running 4th of 13 in a 2850m Maure Class F a fortnight ago. Unlikely to cause an upset but should not be written off either

Runner-up in both to date, most recently a 2575m Saint-Brieuc Class G 3 weeks ago. In better company on this occasion but the new formula may be just the ticket

Progressive colt that has not raced since winning a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d'Olonne last August. May be a race shy, and starts on 2nd row, but still looks capable of challenging for a spot on the podium

Climbed the category-ladder well last summer. Unseen since running 2nd of 9 in a 2450m Caen Class E last September but is here on his merits and should not be overlooked

Held his own to finish 4th of 5 finishers in a 2200m Vincennes Class E 8 days ago. Should take well to Nantes conditions and will appreciate the trip. First 5

Back under harness after being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class E late-December. Has previously placed here but others still preferred
