Yet to open his account but has been threatening to do so recently, especially on this surface - confirmed as much by finishing 2nd over 1600m on this course last time (29 February). Will be a factor

Made a winning start to the year on the PSF at Pau over 2000m and proved his competitiveness off this mark over that course and distance with an encouraging 3rd on handicap debut on 26 January. Beware

A lightly raced colt, unplaced in four outings (all on PSF) but not far off the mark in each of his last three. Finished 6th in a conditions race over track and trip on 23 February but could fare better in a handicap

Won a 1900m PSF claimer on debut but has looked less effective in 3 subsequent starts on turf (unplaced in each), including a 2150m handicap at Cagnes last time (8th) on 25 February. Dark horse back on PSF

Showed improvement in two starts on PSF last year with blinkers fitted - finished 4th over 1400m on this course when last seen on 21 November. Absent since but is open to improvement (headgear removed?)

Placed just once in 8 starts but has remained consistent/competitive in handicaps off his current mark on both turf and PSF. Finished 5th in an 1800m turf handicap at Fontainebleau on 15 March

Didn't go unnoticed when 6th on debut over 2000m on the PSF at Cagnes in January but has regressed in both subsequent outings. Finished a well-beaten 11th in a conditions race here over 1600m on 5 March

Regressed after a pleasing 1400m debut (4th) on turf in October but didn't go unnoticed when 7th in a 1500m PSF handicap at Deauville last month. Was 7th again over 2000m (turf) at Compiegne on 10 March

A 13-start maiden and regular in the claiming category. Hard to make a case for here on handicap debut after finishing 6th in a 2400m claimer on turf at Compiegne on 19 March

Achieved his best performance (2nd) in a minor 1200m event at Pompadour in August. Unplaced in all his others seven outings, including a 1400m PSF handicap (8th) on this course on 18 March - can be ignored
