Imposed at Cagnes early-January before missing out by little in a 3125m Angers Class F 3 weeks later. Enjoying a renaissance since having been reconfigured and can bring the battle to GAMIN DES ISLES (14)

Unraced since coming a disappointing 8th of 11 finishers in a Class D under these conditions mid-month and will need to find significantly more

Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2800m Pontchateau monte Class E on 22 December and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Fine 2nd at Nantes before running 7th of 16 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Reunited with Benjamin Rochard, for whom he excels, and can set the record straight. Place prospect

Makes first appearance since finishing 8th of 15 behind GET UP DES PLAINES (8) in a 2750m Cabourg Class D on 17 December. Shoes on this time though and will have little to offer

Unraced since running 3rd of 10 in a 2800m Pontchateau monte Class E on 22 December. Here for reasons of conditioning and with shoes on can be ignored

4th of 16 in a 3000m Nantes Class E a month back. No penalty to incur this time, won his only start at the venue, and will legitimately generate interest

Last but one, after having been denied a run, to GAMIN DES ISLES (14) in a 2850m Vincennes Class D a week ago. Is clearly in top shape and considerable improvement anticipated

Reassuring 4th of 16 to GAMIN DES ISLES (14) in a 2850m Vincennes Class D a week ago despite a difficult trip, but will be dangerous if Guillaume Lenain keeps him out of trouble

Starts for first time since faulting in a 2850m Vincennes Class D early-December. Boasts fine Laval references but races shod this time and best to hold off

Made it 2 straight sanctions after faulting in a 2175m Vincennes monte Class D earlier this month. Switches code for Laval debut, is shod to preference, and not incapable of getting in on the action

Disappointing all winter, most recently last of 9 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D mid-month, and will have nothing to offer

Makes first start since finishing 10th of 13 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D early last month. Has been off the boil over recent months and can be confidently passed over

Comfortable winner of a 2850m Vincennes Class D a week ago. Does not get a JMB drive this time but form is sure and a repeat is well within his capacity

Started to come good again early this month when 4th of 18 in a 3000m Chateaubriant Class D. Has nothing to prove in this category and, considering the entry, deserves to be taken very seriously
