3rd of 13 in a 2700m Graignes Class F 3 weeks ago. Is plainly improving but will nevertheless need to find more

Got off the mark at Saumur before running 3rd of 11 in a 2850m Maure Class F on 15 March, but faces a much stiffer test on this occasion

Unraced since coming 5th of 8 in a 2250m Enghien monte Class E last July. Here for reasons of conditioning and will have nothing to contribute

Good 3rd of 12 on comeback in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F late last month. First time barefoot on a hard surface and will be reined by Gabriele Gelormini for the occasion. First 5

Returns to a hard surface after running 5th of 15 in a 2600m Class F at Blain-Bouvron-Le Gavre 3 weeks ago and is unlikely to be far from the action

Disappointing 6th of 9 finishers in a 2700m Graignes Class F mid-March and will need to raise his game

Moderate sort that was sanctioned on first start back, faulting in a 2875m Class F at Meslay-du-Maine on 18 March, and can be disregarded

Produced a good effort to run 3rd of 9 in a 2900m Amiens Class F mid-March. Placed in one of 2 here and is worth monitoring

Won over course and distance mid-March before running 6th of 13 in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F 3 weeks ago. Never easy to gauge but still has the capacity to pick up a cheque

Superb in both return runs, most recently winning a Class F over track and trip on 16 March. Is unbeaten with his driver and Eric Raffin will be determined to keep it that way

Solid in 3 of 4 to date, latterly 3rd of 9 in a 2700m Vire Class F early last month. Has freshness on his side and a realistic chance of finishing close

2nd of 13 on re-entry in a 2700m Graignes Class F 10 days ago. Comes here in good morale and shape, and can impose if he takes to the new conditions
