Back under harness after faulting in a 2825m Vire monte Class F 2 weeks ago but will have few, if any, friends

Sanctioned in a 2600m Class F at La Roche-Posay on Sunday. Has yet to disappoint when he stays in stride and backs up with a chance of picking up some crumbs

9th of 11 in a 2700m Graignes Class F 2 weeks ago. Has shown little aptitude for the game and can be ruled out

Sanctioned in last 3, most recently a 2625m Cherbourg Class F 10 days ago, and hard to make a case when fully shod

Disqualified in 2 before coming 4th of 13 in a 2975m Jallais Class F mid-month. Takes on a tougher bunch this time but races barefoot and will be worth keeping an eye on

Sports front pads for the first time after faulting on re-entry in a 2800m Class E at Villedieu-les-Poeles on 9 June. Eric Raffin takes over in the sulky and can set the record straight

Complicated colt but reassured when 2nd in a 2700m Graignes Class F a fortnight ago and, on good behaviour, can go one better this time

Reassuring 5th of 10 finishers in a 2400m Amiens Class F mid-month. Starts in front, is associated with Benjamin Rochard, and will be expected to finish in the thick of things

Pleased on comeback but sanctioned in next 2, most recently a 2600m Class F at La Roche-Posay on 2 June, and must first re-establish his credentials

Not disgraced 7th of 9 finishers in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F on 19 May. Is clearly on way back up and even though on 2nd line, can make his presence felt

Encouraged at Gournay-en-Bray before faulting in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class F 3 weeks ago. Incurs the penalty and other more attractive options available

D-hDh8h1h0
Won at Chateaubriant before finishing 10th of 12 in a 2700m Vire Class E 2 weeks ago. Takes a dip in category though and, even with an extra 25m to travel, can still challenge for a place in the frame
Ecurie De La Verderie

3h3h7h7h8h3
Pleasantly surprised when 3rd of 7 finishers in a 2675m Erbray Class F earlier in the month. 4 pads fitted for the first time but is unlikely to shake things up
J Deshayes

Has not been seen out since coming last of 11 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E early-February and can be discounted

4th of 11 finishers in a 2525m Class E at Les Andelys 10 days ago. Shoes on this time and best to keep one's powder dry
Richard Dumaine

Won 2 on the trot before losing his action in a 2825m Durtal Class F 10 days ago. On the back line, and steps up in category, but is still worth keeping an eye on
Sylveur Gougeon

Never far from faulting but easily won a 2900m Dozule Class F 10 days ago. Lebourgeois maintains faith and will be legitimately eyeing another victory
P Plassais
Race Overview
He may have been sanctioned more often than not but KORIOLIS DE ZIETTE (7) is a colt of considerable potential in this category and can finally get that maiden monkey off his back, provided Dany Stoehr keeps him trotting. 25m worse off but facile winner at Dozule, KING DE GINAI (18) is back on a hard surface, with Yoann Lebourgeois reining again, and looks a serious proposition. KASTELBRAC (6) is another tricky character but has enormous promise and, fitted with front pads and with Eric Raffin reining, is not to be underestimated. KIMAKO VERDERIE (13) failed to confirm his Chateaubriant success but drops back a level and can redeem himself.
