Failed to confirm San Siro victory when 9th of 16 in a harness Class E under these conditions on 12 February. Races barefoot for monte bow but still has nothing to offer

Never at his ease when sanctioned in a 2850m Class C here last week. Will be race-fit though and, sporting a new configuration, looks competitively well-in

Pleasant 4th of 11 in a 2625m Agen Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is still in conditioning-mode though and best to hold off

Back under the saddle after running 2nd of 16 in a 3000m Nantes harness Class E last Saturday. Ran 2nd under these conditions with Guillaume Martin on New Year's Eve and merits respect

Last of 9 behind KIKI DU ROC (8) in a 2175m Class D here on 9 February. Has struggled to find any semblance of form and can be confidently passed over

5th of 9 finishers in a 2725m Graignes harness Class F 3.5 weeks ago. Barefoot for ridden debut but still not a concern

Won a 2175m Class D here on 9 February before losing it in stewards' room. Tough nut when barefoot and focused and Benjamin Rochard will be intent on setting the record straight

Rather flattering 4th of 9 finishers in a 2175m Class D here on 9 February. Has merit but others still easier to support

Good campaigner for the most part but could finish no closer than 5th of 16 in a harness Class D here 2.5 weeks ago. Sports a new configuration though and debuts in the discipline with a decent hand to play

Quickly sanctioned in a Class E over course and distance on 12 February. Is complicated but has ample ability and, on good behaviour, will be competitive for a first-3 spot

Did not miss out by much when 2nd, then sanctioned, in a Class E over track and trip on 12 February. Enjoys a fine entry and, on good behaviour, can make this his own

Drops back in category after finishing 5th of 10 in a 2850m Class C here last week. Terrifically-entered here and must be regarded a serious player

Classy but complicated mare making first appearance since faulting in a 2875m Enghien Class D last August. Has previously won here in the day's configuration but prospects somewhat limited this time around

Race Overview
Unbeaten in 2 ridden starts at home in Sweden, DEE GODFATHER (11) ran 2nd over course and distance earlier in the month only to be subsequently sanctioned, but he is shod to preference this time, with Mathieu Mottier in the irons, and will be expected to put things right. KALIMERO JASMA (7), on the other hand, flew up here before being disqualified, and Benjamin Rochard will be intent on redemption. A 2700m winner here last month, KLASSIC FROMENTRO (12) is ideally-engaged and will justifiably garner support. Seldom far off the mark when focused, JAMY (10) will be thereabouts at the finish provided Alexandre Abrivard can keep him focused.
