Capable at a lower level but will need to show improvement on his 7th of 17 in a 2725m Lisieux Class E earlier in the month

Fitted with front pads for first time after coming 9th of 15 in a 2450m Caen Class F on 17 June, but is out of his league

Disappointing all year, latterly sanctioned in a 2950m Vichy monte Class E a fortnight ago. Sports a proven configuration but others still preferred

Takes on a better bunch after coming 5th of 16 in a 2825m Class F at Sable-sur-Sarthe a month back, but breaks from the front and is unlikely to be too far off the mark

Returned to winning ways in a 3125m Ranes Class F on 9 June. On front line again, fitted with front pads, and will have his supporters

Last of 8, on re-entry, in a 2900m Arras Class F on 9 June. Has ability, and sports just front shoes, but yet to get off the mark and today will not be his day either

Got back in the game earlier this month when securing a 2800m Strasbourg Class G. Steps up in category but starts in front and looks a respectable first-5 chance

Sanctioned in 4 of 5 this year, most recently a 2950m Vichy Class E 9 days ago, and can be passed over

Acquitted himself decently to come 6th of 12 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 9 June. Ideally-placed on first line and, at peak fitness, can play a leading role

5th of 10 finishers in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E 10 days ago. Will have come on for the run and must be taken seriously

Faithful servant taking a big step up in category after coming 4th of 12 in a 3000m Senonnes-Pouance Class F early-May and will have little to offer

Unseen since trotting 10th of 16 in a 2250m Auch Class F on 18 February, and will need the run

Imposed at Pontivy before trotting 4th of 13 in a 2750m Class F at Le Grand-Fougeray early-May, but appears to be biting off more than he can chew this time

Missed out by little in a 2400m Amiens Class E 2 weeks ago. Has little room for manoeuvre in this category but can still put on a decent show

Could have picked up a place cheque in a 2850m Laval Class E 2 weeks ago had he not lost his action. On back line this time and chances limited

Not without merit but sanctioned in 3 of last 4, most recently a 2950m Saint-Malo Class E on 19 May, and even with front shoes off will be difficult to trust

Returns to racing right-handed after coming last of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Is better than most in this category and can make a big splash if his driver assures his initial strides

Has not raced since trotting 2nd of 9 in a 2625m monte Class E at Agen-Le Passage on 12 February. Is in competition-mode though and will be no soft touch
