Drops in category after coming 6th of 9 finishers in a 2550m Reims Class D early-June. Can claim a solid amateur record and must be duly respected

2nd of 10 in a 2825m amateurs Class G at Le Croise-Laroche earlier in the month. Boasts excellent credentials in this category and can play a leading role

Never far from faulting but has bags of ability at this level, latterly demolishing a 2750m La Capelle Class E 8 days ago and will have a lot to offer if Danny Mahieu keeps her trotting

Has not won for over a year but has returned in excellent shape, latterly 4th of 15 in a 2525m Class F at Les Andelys and, although not a priority, is still worth watching

Sanctioned in a 2825m monte Class F at Le Croise-Laroche late-May. Has other priorities and can be ruled out

Left a good impression at Caen before faulting, when never comfortable, in a 2800m Chartres Class F 10 days ago. New driver at the helm and can win this if he gets him off on the right foot

5th of 16, at 93/1, in a 2100m Vincennes amateurs Class F mid-month, but a repeat seems improbable

Has not been seen out since trotting 5th of 17 in a 3000m Borely Class E last October but hails from a stable going good-guns and even with an extra 25m to travel, still looks competitive for a first-5 cheque

Pleased on his amateur debut across town 2 months ago, has produced 2 decent runs since and, shod as he was at Vincennes, should not be overlooked

Has not enjoyed the best of fortune lately, most recently faulting in a 2650m Laon Class F last Sunday. Seldom seen in this class of race but is confirmed and, with application, can have a say in the outcome

Kicked 2024 off nicely but has since gone off the boil, most recently 9th of 13 in a 1800m Class E at La Capelle 2 weeks ago, and can expect to have few takers

Very disappointing this year, latterly 7th of 11 in a 2400m Amiens Class E last weekend, and even with 4 pads fitted, has no possible chance

2nd of 13 in a 2800m Class F at Villedieu-les-Poeles 3 weeks ago. Is confirmed here, is clearly in form, and even from the 2nd line, can play an important role

Last but one, when preparing for this, in a 2850m Vincennes amateurs Class F 11 days ago. Hind shoes off this time but others still preferred
