Takes first steps in amateur division not having raced since being sanctioned in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class E last September. Appreciates Caen, runs barefoot this time, but still no more than a minor place prospect

Unraced since running 5th of 16 in a 2725m Lisieux amateurs Class G last September. Has already won for Margot Trihollet and will be expected to play a leading role

Has not been seen out since finishing last of 13 in a 2400m Amiens Class F mid-November. Has nothing to prove at this level, sports a new formula, and from the 3-spot will have a lot to offer

Back in the category after finishing last of 14, on return to competition, in a 2900m Challans Class G 11 days ago. Handed a top draw and, barefoot for the occasion, looks a decent first-5 chance

14th of 18 behind GOLDORACK DU BOIS (10) in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on 9 March. Competitively shod this time but would be preferred in the claiming category

Has not been seen out since winning a 2825m ridden Class G at Le Croise-Laroche on 2 December. Shoes on and no threat

Well-beaten 6th of 7 finishers behind INSTIGATEUR (16) in a 2850m Mauquenchy amateurs Class G on 25 February. Barefoot for Caen debut but still not an obvious choice

Returns to the harness code after running 6th of 7 in a 2550m Reims monte Class G last weekend and the draw just adds insult to injury

6th of 8 finishers in a 2700m amateurs Class G at Le Croise-Laroche 12 days ago. Has evident ability but races shod this time and best to hold off

Drops in category after running 7th of 18 in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on 9 March. Has hardly put a foot wrong all winter and can wrap this up

Disappointing in 3 starts since winning at Argentan in December, most recently 7th of 10 in a 2900m Amiens amateurs Class F a fortnight ago and even though reconfigured, is unlikely to stir things up

Failed to confirm good Vire performance when sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes Class E 3.5 weeks ago, and others easier to back

Sent for a spell after finishing 10th of 15 in a 2825m Cordemais amateurs Class G mid-December. Starts on back row, sports front pads for first time, but can still play a small part

Sanctioned when going strong in a 2900m Amiens amateurs Class G a month ago. Sports front pads for the occasion and can challenge for the win if Matthieu Corbin successfully navigates the start

Returns to racing barefoot after finishing 13th of 14 in a 2675m Lisieux Class F conditioner last Saturday. Jean-Luc Gadois would have preferred a better draw but she has been solid in 2 of last 3 amateur runs and must be taken seriously

Well-beaten 2nd of 10 in a 2850m Mauquenchy amateurs Class G on 25 February. Handed a shocking draw but appreciates Caen and with hind shoes off will be no pushover
