7th of 13, on return from a spell, in a 2850m Laval Class D 3 weeks ago. Goes barefoot as he was when imposing at Nantes and deserves to be taken seriously

Takes a notable step up in category after coming 4th of 15 in a 2900m Challans Class G 2.5 weeks ago and will have too much to do

Hardy element making first appearance since running 3rd of 11 in a 2200m Caen Class E last September. Races shod however and best to keep one's powder dry

Good 2nd of 16 in a 2450m Caen Class F 2 weeks ago. Starts in front, has never disappointed in the day's configuration, and can play an active role

Won 4 from 6 before being sent for a rest, ending the year coming 14th of 16 in a 2100m Vincennes Class F early-November, but is clearly in conditioning-mode and others preferred

Ran 5th of 16 in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 2.5 weeks ago. Regularly gives his best but cannot be considered more than a rank outsider

Lost his action on re-entry in a 2800m Pontchateau Class F earlier in the month. Seldom lets the side down when focused and if race-fit, can get a look-in

Talented type making first start since being sanctioned in a 2500m Saint-Brieuc Class F last November and will need the race

6th of 14 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class F 3 weeks ago. Enjoys a superb entry on the front row and will be barefoot for the occasion. Attention

Quality trotter starting for first time since being sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class D last October and is going to need the race

Has not been seen out since coming 4th of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class D last September. Shoes on for comeback and will not be influencing the result

7th of 16 on re-entry in a 2825m Chartres Class E 11 days ago. Remains shod and will have nothing to contribute

Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2800m Vire Class E on 2 March. Regularly a question of all-or-nothing and, if applied, should represent the main threat to JACK DES ASS (17)

Quality dual-discipline sort that came 2nd of 10 in a 2450m Caen monte Class G 3 weeks ago but is here for a change of scenery and not a priority

Decent mare with nothing to prove at this level, most recently 4th of 11 in a 2450m Caen Class D 3 weeks ago. Went close on lone start here and has every chance of finishing in the frame

Versatile type than ran 11th of 13 in a 2825m Chartres Class E return race 11 days ago and will be dangerous if Nicolas Bazire manages to keep him focused. Chance

Last of 10 on return to competition in a 2450m Caen Class D early-March. Beaten only once when barefoot and focused and Clement Duvaldestin will be justifiably expecting to win this

Respectable 6th of 11 behind JEREMICE MERITE (15) in a 2450m Caen Class D 3 weeks ago and again looks a decent first-5 chance
