Unseen since running 2nd of 13 in a 2275m Nantes Class E but is competitively-shod with Eric Raffin in the bike and can make a big impact

2nd of 12, when first-time barefoot, in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 16 March. Takes on marginally better this time but looks thoroughly capable of finishing thereabouts

Useful sort that was surprisingly sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes Class F mid-March. Has already won here though and Gabriele Gelormini will be keen to put things right

Good, consistent filly making first start since running 4th of 11 in a 2725m Graignes Class E last November. Unlikely to cause an upset but should nevertheless finish in the mix

Pleasant 3rd of 12, on return run, in a 2600m Class F at Blain-Bouvron-Le Gavre 3 weeks ago. Trainer in the bike this time, sports modified shoeing, and has the wherewithal to make first 5

Runs first-time barefoot after coming 3rd of 13 in a 2700m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche late last month. Top talent at the helm and looks the one to beat

Won over course and distance mid-March but sanctioned 9 days later in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F, and can be passed over

Failed to confirm Mauquenchy victory when 8th of 15 in a 2200m Vincennes Class E on 18 February. Comes here fresh but still not a concern

Sanctioned, when unsupported, in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F on 25 March and can expect to have few friends

Promising sort but has not been seen out since running 3rd of 9 in a 2800m Class C at Castera-Verduzan last August, and will need the race

10th of 16, on re-entry, in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class F on 17 March. Will have progressed for the run, races with front shoes off, but others still preferred

Good 3rd of 14 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 31 March. Has turned a corner this year and looks main threat to LEONTINE CASH (6)
