Unseen since being pulled-up in a 2850m Brehal Class F last August. Has endured a troubled career so far and, talented or not, will need the race

Disappointing on the whole this year, latterly sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes Class E on 23 February, and will need to raise his game

Starts for first time since coming 6th of 15 in a 2650m Class F at Les Sables d'Olonne last August. Is not the most generous of trotters and may just have to return home empty-handed

Picked up last month where he left off in September, running 5th of 12 in a 3000m Nantes Class E. The race will have dome him good and from the front row looks competitively well-in

Sanctioned in 2 of 3 this year, most recently a 2850m Loudeac Class F mid-month. Gabi Gelormini in the bike this time and will be no pushover if he keeps his charge focused

Decent 4th of 14 in a 2750m La Capelle Class G 3 weeks ago. Steps up in category and is unlikely to repeat, but breaks in front and can get a look-in

Ran a fine 4th of 18 in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class F on 18 March. Starts in front and should be good enough to win a race of this nature

3rd at Challans 3 weeks ago before losing his action in a 2800m Chartres Class F a fortnight later. Front shoes off this time though and can start to make amends

Capable but tricky mare that was sanctioned on comeback in a 2700m Machecoul Class F 2 weeks ago, and is not about to trouble the judge

Makes first appearance since finishing 8th of 10 in a 2200m Langon monte Class E last September. Has other priorities and will have nothing to contribute

Fine servant that has not been seen out since running 2nd of 12 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D in April 2024, and will not be given a hard race

Serious type that won 2 on the trot before coming 4th of 16 in a 3000m Nantes Class E on 22 February. Has never failed to fire here and even though 25m worse off, still looks main threat to KASHKAI (7)

Useful sort making first appearance since faulting in a 3000m Nantes Class A last November. Seldom lets the side down when focused and even though incurring the handicap, still looks a player

Last but one in a 2450m Caen Class E on 10 March. Erratic at the best of times and arguably better racing clockwise, but is still worth retaining

Imposed at Graignes late-February before running 7th of 16 in a 2200m Caen Class E on 3 March. Reliability not his strong suit but is reunited with Eric Raffin who will assure him a competitive drive. Chance

7th of 16, on return to competition, in a 2650m Laval Class E on 6 March. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be passed over
