Very unlucky to finish 9th of 15, behind GROUPIE DU QUENNE (11), in a 2450m Caen Class D on 11 March. Form is not in doubt and with a trouble-free run can more than make amends

8th of 13, on re-entry, in a 2900m Amiens Class F 3 weeks ago. Appreciates Argentan, will have come on for the run, and is not incapable of springing a surprise

4th in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie claimer, despite interference, on 11 March. Steps back up in category but is well-placed behind the car and will not be far off the mark if Louis Goetz gets him off on the right foot

9th of 15 in a 2675m Lisieux Class E 8 days ago. Well-placed in front but, in this field, will have limited chances

11th of 14 in a 2550m Reims Class F 12 days ago. Is confirmed at this level though and, from the 5-spot, will have his chances

Seen more often than not under the saddle but pleased when 4th of 15 in a 2875m Maure-de-Bretagne harness claimer mid-month. At this level though, will have too much to do

Won a Vincennes claimer before flopping behind GROUPIE DU QUENNE (11) in a 2450m Caen Class D on 11 March. Starts wide here and chances appear limited

Switches codes after trotting 8th of 10 in a 2450m Caen monte Class F earlier in the month. Barefoot this time but will have other priorities

Has not been seen out since trotting 12th of 13 in a 2725m Lisieux Class F early-November. Shoes on and no danger

Pleasant 7th of 13 in a 2550m Bordeaux Class F on 9 March, on his first start back, but a repeat looks decidedly improbable

Blows hot and cold but finished a reassuring 4th, ahead of FABULEUX D'ECHAL (1), in a 2450m Caen Class D 17 days ago and, even from the back line, looks the main threat to him

9th of 18, on first start since the spell, in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on 10 March. Races barefoot this time. is proven at the venue, and looks a solid first-3 prospect

Last but one on comeback in a 2725m Graignes Class E mid-February. Will be fresh but has little else going for him

Sent out favourite but quickly sanctioned in a 2725m Graignes Class F 11 days ago but will be no easy touch if Yann Lorin keeps him trotting

Has looked ordinary lately, most recently faulting in a 2725m Graignes Class F 11 days ago and, even with a modified configuration, is unlikely to ruffle any feathers

Sanctioned in 5 of last 6, most recently a 2725m Graignes Class F on 17 March. Handed a shocking draw, and even though fitted with pads, can still be ruled out
