Pleased in 2 under the saddle, most recently 4th of 8 finishers in a 2800m Pontchateau Class F on 20 May, but returns to the harness code with little to offer

9th of 12 in a 2200m Caen monte Class D, on re-entry, earlier this month. Shoes on and no threat

One-paced 8th of 12 finishers in a 2950m Vichy Class D on 19 June. Is considerably better than that though and will be expected to make amends

Going nicely before faulting in a 3000m Chateaubriant Class F a month back. Has a 25m head-start this time and, with front pads back on, can give FLYING BRICKELL (17) a run for his money

Encouraged at Vichy early-June before coming 10th of 12 finishers in a 2500m Reims Class F mid-month. Should not be too hastily judged and will be expected to finish in the mix

Sanctioned, when full of running, in a 2200m Caen Class F on 10 June. Should take well to the new conditions though and, with application, can make first 5

Last of 14, on first start for almost a year, in a 2450m Caen Class F 9 days ago, and can be ruled out

Pleased at Caen and Vichy recently, but sanctioned in a 2500m Reims Class F mid-month. Not everyone's cup of tea but has ample ability, races with just hind shoes, and is well-placed to pick up a minor place cheque

Sanctioned early in a 2650m Bordeaux Class F a week ago. Eric Raffin retained for the occasion and, from the front row, can give this a good go

Showed improvement when 4th of 14 in a 2975m Jallais Class E 11 days ago. Won his only start at the venue [2018], is fitted with 4 pads this time, but others still preferred

Classy campaigner but has not raced since finishing 12th of 15 in a 2850m Vincennes Class B 5 months ago. Shoes on and others preferred

No slouch on a good day but makes first start since faulting in a 2800m Pontchateau monte Class D on 8 March. Shod again and not a priority

11th of 13 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 10 June. Shoes on and, from the back line, will have little to contribute

Starts for the first time since faulting in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 12 April. 4 pads fitted for re-entry but others still easier to trust

Back under harness after coming 5th of 11 in a 2850m Laval monte Class C 3 weeks ago. Has other priorities and not a player

8th of 16, on just 2nd start back, in a 2450m Caen Class D on 10 June. Untried here but others still preferred

10th of 16 when preparing for this in a 2450m Caen Class D on 10 June. Starts on 2nd line but thrives at the venue and has every chance of winning this

Has raced just twice since the autumn, most recently last but one in a 2650m Bordeaux GNT Gr.3 a week ago. Fitted with front pads this time and not an obvious choice
