5th of 9 in a 2175m Vincennes Class E on 19 January. Has not been seen since and racing shod will do him no favours

Sanctioned in last 3, most recently a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 12 February. Shoes back on and others easier to trust

Sanctioned in last 3, most recently a 2875m Enghien Class D 2.5 weeks ago, but is no slouch on a good day, won his only start here, and merits respect

Sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Never easy to gauge but has form in similar company and from the front row can give this a good go

5th of 11 to GREGOR (17) in a 2800m Pontchateau Class D 3 weeks ago. Has had an interrupted career but seems to be improving and deserves to be taken seriously

Made up for a pair of sanctions when 4th of 13 in a Class D over course and distance on 6 March. Has never disappointed when barefoot here and has a decent chance of trotting her way onto the podium

Unremarkable 5th of 10 in a 2550m Bordeaux Class F 3 weeks ago. Shoes off this time but still not a priority

Bounced back from Cagnes sanction to comfortably win a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche on 3 March. Starts in front and can wrap this up

Dominated a Vincennes Class C 2 months ago before running 7th of 14 in a 2700m Class B at the same venue late-February. Benefits from a terrific entry, is reunited with Eric Raffin, and will be expected to play an active role

Failed to confirm Saint-Galmier success when sanctioned early in a 2900m Amiens Gr.3 on 5 March. Front pads fitted this time though and others preferred

Back under harness after running 10th of 11 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes monte Class C on 21 February. Can trot when bothered to and even from the 2nd row looks an interesting outside chance

Serious trotter that was sanctioned when going well in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 16 February. Shoes back on however and best to hold off

2nd of 16 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 2 February. On back line here and with shoes on will have little to contribute

Ran 5th in a Class A on re-entry before trotting 3rd of 11 to GREGOR (17) in a 2800m Pontchateau Class D 3 weeks ago. Incurs the penalty but still looks a contender for the silverware

Has not been seen out since winning a 2825m Durtal Class D last July. Races shod and will need the run

Last of 13 in a Class A over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Has talent to burn but is here for reasons of conditioning and can be ruled out

Fine sort that comfortably won a 2800m Pontchateau Class D on comeback earlier this month but goes shod this time and will have other plans

12th of 14 finishers on re-entry in a 2450m Caen Class D on 10 March. Shoes on and no threat
