Pleasant 3rd of 14 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class G a fortnight back. Faces a much stiffer test this time but can still play a small part

Back under harness after coming 5th of 12 in a 2625m ridden Class F at Cherbourg 2 weeks ago. Has merit but would be preferred in a lower category

Has not been seen out since finishing 6th of 7 in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class E last August. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be ruled out

Has not been seen out since finishing last of 7 in a 2275m Nantes Class E last October. Will be fresh but still not easy to recommend

Sanctioned here mid-February before repeating in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel last weekend. Has evident talent and, with shoes off for first time can start to make amends

Runner-up in both since the break, most recently a 2625m Cherbourg Class F a month ago. Takes on some better horses here but is proven at the venue and looks a major player

Tenacious 2nd of 12 to LUTIN DES ARRIS (11) in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 3 weeks ago. Hind shoes off again and Alexandre Bodin will be intent on exacting revenge. Claim

Solid winner of a Class F over course and distance on 12 January. Has done everything right so far and will be expected to play another active role

Unremarkable 5th of 9 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 25 February. Has been in fine shape this term but cannot be considered a concern this time around

Lost his maiden status late-January before running 5th of 9, a place behind LIKE MESLOIS (12), in a 2700m Vire Class F a fortnight ago. Has been reconfigured and the engagement of David Thomain can make all the difference. First 5

Comfortably got off the mark in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 3 weeks ago. Yoann Lebourgeois in the bike this time and is not incapable of doubling up

Ran a very good 4th of 9 on re-entry in a 2700m Vire Class F a fortnight ago. Sanctioned on only Graignes start but will still generate considerable support. Place chance

4th of 7 finishers in a 2650m Bordeaux ridden Class E on 9 February. Enjoys a good entry but appears to have nothing to contribute
