Sprang quite the surprise when 2nd of 8 finishers in a 3000m Nantes Class E 9 days ago. Sports 4 pads for first time and even though stepping up in category should not be written off

Pleased at Chateaubriant on re-entry before finishing 7th of 11 behind KETBERNY (7) in a 2700m Machecoul Class F 3.5 weeks ago and is not easy to recommend

Quality trotter returning from an extended hiatus. Is competitively-shod for re-entry but is nonetheless expected to need the outing

Last but one in a 3000m Nantes Class E a fortnight ago. Has been disappointing on the whole and, even though reconfigured, will have nothing to offer

Complicated type that was sanctioned on return to competition in a 2700m Graignes Class E last weekend and can be confidently passed over

Starts for first time since running 4th of 9 to KARRINGTON (13) in a 2850m Vincennes Class E 12 months ago. Shoes off for re-entry and if race-fit, can play a leading role

Looked decidedly ordinary when 7th of 9 in a 3000m Nantes Class E last week and can expect to have few takers

Has not been seen out since running 7th of 14 in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F last November. Is proven here when barefoot though and should be competitive for a first-5 payout

Sanctioned, when unsupported, in a 2650m Bordeaux Class F early last month and can expect to remain friendless in the markets

5th of 9 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 21 January. Has had time to recover, breaks in front, and racing barefoot may be just the ticket. Chance

Moderate trotter starting for first time since faulting in a 2825m Durtal Class F last October and is unlikely to cause an upset

Sanctioned in a 2575m Saint-Brieuc Class F 11 days ago. Nicely-engaged on first row, races barefoot as he was when runner-up at Vire a month ago, and warrants respect

Sanctioned on 2nd start back in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 11 February. Is behind in earnings and can make a big splash if Mathieu Mottier keeps him trotting

Capable sort but has not been seen out since finishing last but one in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class D 4 months ago and can be ignored

Useful individual that will have come on for his mid-month return run when sanctioned in a Class E over course and distance. Races barefoot this time and must not be overlooked

Sprang a 59/1 surprise when 2nd of 11 finishers in a 2875m Argentan Class E 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but with form maintained, can get in on the action

4th of 14 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 11 February. Gets on well with Benjamin Rochard and is unlikely to be far off the mark
