Tricky character that was quickly sanctioned in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is undeniably useful but would be preferred a level down

Ran 2nd twice before finishing 7th of 14 in a 2725m Lisieux Class E last week. Has never delivered over the main track and chances limited

Returns to Vincennes after comfortably winning a 2650m Laval Class E a month ago. Takes on a superior lot this time though and a minor place chance at best

7th of 13 behind KANCALAIS (11) when preparing for this in a Class D over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Is confirmed over 2700m here and on good behaviour will be competitive at the business end of the race

Quality campaigner that ran 9th of 11 on re-entry in a 2650m Bordeaux Class E on 8 March. Still in conditioning-mode though and best to hold off

Won a brace before coming 3rd of 14, a place behind KABOTIN CHENEVIERE (12), in a 2850m Laval Class E on 12 March. Gets to race barefoot for first time and Benjamin Rochard will have his sights set on the silverware

Picked up after the spell where he left off, latterly 2nd of 14 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 10 March. Tends to go well over the main track and although unlikely to impose, can still finish in the mix

Dependable sort that ran 4th of 9 over 2300m at Mons 2.5 weeks ago. Is new to Vincennes but can trot, has been reconfigured, and won his only start with Mathieu Mottier. First 5

Would have finished closer than 6th of 13 behind KANCALAIS (11) in a Class D over course and distance 2 weeks ago had he been afforded a run. Whether that was a flash in the pan or not remains to be seen. Attention

Has not been seen out since running 4th of 8 in a 2825m Class A at Le Croise-Laroche last November. Shoes on and will need the race

5th of 13 in a Class D under these conditions a fortnight ago. Has 2 runs under his belt and will be expected to apply the pressure on KRICK DU GUESCLIN (14)

Imposed at Caen prior to running 2nd of 14 in a 2850m Laval Class E on 12 March. Has references over the main track but not in this category

Lost his action early in a 2925m Cagnes Class A on 9 March. Entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois for the occasion but still not an obvious choice

Sanctioned when clearly going well in a 2850m Class C here on 20 February. Has bags of ability, boasts solid references under these conditions, and can impose

Last but one behind KANCALAIS (11) in a Class D over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Is no slouch on a good day but has a lot more to find
