Kicked the year off successfully but below-par in 2 since, most recently a lacklustre 6th of 8 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class E a fortnight ago, and others easier to back

Sanctioned on return to competition in a 2800m Pontchateau Class F last Friday and will be expected to need another run

3rd of 11, at 48/1, in a 2350m Angers Class E on 29 January. Comes here fresh but still has her work cut out

Left a good impression on re-entry, running 2nd of 11 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 3 weeks ago. Faces a stiffer test this time though and others easier to back

Won at Argentan late-January prior to running 4th of 15 in a 2200m Vincennes Class E 3 weeks ago. Flopped on lone start here but has ample ability and must not be overlooked

Ran 4th at Vincennes before coming 2nd of 11 in a 3000m Nantes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is new to the venue but looks a decent trotter in the making and could pleasantly surprise

Has not been seen out since coming 2nd of 8 finishers in a 2725m Pornichet Class D late-October. Is first time barefoot, with Eric Raffin reining, but would have better prospects in the other code

Has not put a foot wrong since his successful debut, most recently making short work of a 2700m Graignes Class E. In marginally better company this time but still merits respect

Imposed at Argentan in January before running 2nd of 13 to LOVE DE CERIZE (15) in a course-and-distance Class E on 15 February. Unlikely to win this but can still make the frame

Put his Lyon blunder behind him when 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E late-January. Has had ample time to recover and while not a priority is still worth keeping an eye on

7th of 10 in a 2825m Cordemais Class E 12 days ago. Appreciates Laval conditions and, if fully-fit, should logically finish close

Useful sort making first start since winning a 2850m Feurs Class E late-October and is unlikely to be given a hard race

Honest type that consistently gives his best but makes first start since running 5th of 15 in a 2150m Enghien Class D last October and is not about to influence the result

Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2700m Cagnes Class E on 17 January. Shoes on and can be passed over

Opened his 2025 account when dominating a Class E under these conditions on 15 February. Ideally entered at the limit of earnings and can confirm

Sanctioned in 3 of last 4, latterly a 2700m Vincennes Class E 2 weeks ago. Could well have imposed that day if applied, enjoys a terrific entry, and must be considered a serious player
