Out of the picture in both return runs, latterly 9th of 12 finishers in a 2200m Caen Class E on 3 March. Hind shoes off this time but still not a priority

Never far from faulting but came an encouraging 3rd of 8 in a Class E under these conditions earlier this month. Shod to preference this time and, with application, will not be far off the mark

Failed to confirm mid-February performance when 6th of 16 in a 2650m Laval Class E 10 days ago. Well-placed on front line and will be no pushover if David Thomain keeps him trotting

Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2150m Cagnes Class D last July. Has a lot working for him here and looks a serious proposition

Ran 2nd at Laval before comfortably winning a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 25 February. Appreciates Graignes and in current condition can confirm

3rd of 14, on return to competition, in a 2700m Class E here 3 weeks ago. Will have come on for the run and is sufficiently well-placed to challenge for the win

Finished well to run 5th of 16 in a 3000m Nantes Class E 3 weeks ago. Francois Lagadeuc reining this time and from the front row can give this a good go. Place chance

Sanctioned on comeback late-January in a 2275m Nantes Class D. Has had time to recalibrate, reverts to a previous formula, and must not be overlooked

10th of 16 behind KLEMS DE JAVIE (3) in a 2650m Laval Class E 10 days ago and the draw only compounds matters

Starts for first time since finishing last of 8 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class F early-November. Is confirmed here, is competitively shod, but will still need the run
