Last but one, on return to competition last Tuesday, in a Class E under these conditions, and backs up with little to no chance

Disappointing 7th here before coming 3rd of 14 in a 2900m Challans Class F 2 weeks ago. In this company though, is not a priority

Encouraged at Angers but could manage only 7th of 9 finishers in a Class F over course and distance a month ago and will need to raise her game

Last of 9 in a 2175m Vincennes monte Class E 3 weeks ago. Has won 3 of 5 barefoot harness starts and will be no shrinking violet if Andrea Roussel keeps her trotting

Has not been seen out since winning a 2725m Pornichet Class F last October. Is plainly in competition-mode though and, with application, is unlikely to disappoint

Takes a notable step up in category after winning a 2625m Agen Class F 3 weeks ago and would be preferred racing clockwise

Starts for first time since running 3rd of 16 in a 2850m Laval Class E late-August. Seldom does a horse from the Ernault yard not run on its merits and, if focused, will take some beating

Would have won a 2825m Cordemais Class E mid-January had she not faulted 100m out. Has been afforded time to recalibrate and on good behaviour should prove a serious proposition

Did not enjoy the best of trips when 5th of 16 in a 3125m Angers Class E 3.5 weeks ago. With different tactics though should not be far from the action

Complicated but capable type starting for first time since winning a 2300m Chartres Class F last November. Races shod this time and best to hold off

Useful mare making first appearance since running 2nd of 17 in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E last September. Shoes on and no threat

Has not been seen out since coming 2nd of 17 in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E last September. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be passed over

Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2800m Pontchateau monte Class F 2 months ago. Preparing for campaign under the saddle and will have nothing to contribute

Ran 2nd here in January before being sanctioned in a 2725m Graignes Class E early this month. Forced to start on 2nd line this time but, with application, will be no easy touch

Unseen since being sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on Christmas Eve. Races shod and has no realistic chance

Makes Nantes debut after running close 5th of 13 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E a fortnight ago. Has been shod differently, with Eric Raffin reining this time, and despite the handicap is not to be underestimated
