Handy sort making first appearance since running 3rd of 13 in a 2850m Carentan Class D last August and will need the race

Showed he is close to his best when 3rd of 14 in a 3300m Chartres Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Nicely-placed in front and looks the one to beat this time

Placed 3rd in last 2, most recently a 2725m Lisieux Class E a week ago. Handed an excellent spot behind the car and looks competitive for a spot on the podium

Lost his action in final stages of a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche late-February, coming 6th of 7 finishers. Ideally-placed in front and with hind shoes off should not be overlooked

Lost his action, on return to competition, in a 2675m Lisieux Class F mid-March. Runs barefoot this time but others still preferred

7th of 9 in a 2550m Class F at Gournay-en-Bray on 23 March. Races barefoot this time but still not a concern

Lost his action on return from a spell in a 2500m Class F at La Rochelle 3.5 weeks ago. Starts wide but is on the front row and if applied will have a lot to contribute

Placed at Amiens prior to running 6th of 16, a place behind KARAMEL DIDO (11), in a 2675m Lisieux Class F mid-March. Pitted against a tougher bunch this time and the wide draw will do little to improve his prospects

Won a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 10 days ago only to be subsequently sanctioned. Will still have progressed for the run though and on better behaviour can impose, legitimately

Ran 3rd at Nantes before securing a 2575m Saint-Brieuc Class F on 16 February. Sports same configuration and is unlikely to disappoint

Has 2 races under his belt since the break, latterly 6th of 9 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class F last week. Has placed just once in 3 left-handed starts but can put on a good show if he takes to the new profile

9th of 16 in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 10 days ago. Shoes on and no threat

Last but one in a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Failed to fire on lone Mauquenchy start and can be ruled out

In the frame in last 2, most recently 3rd of 12 in a 2500m Reims Class F mid-March. Takes on a better lot this time but is clearly in form and will have his supporters

Won a 2700m Graignes Class F on re-entry late last month, on first start since December. Handed a rough draw but absolutely has the class to figure prominently at the business end of the race

Takes first competitive steps since finishing last of 9 in a 2450m Caen monte Class D last June and poses no danger
