Not without merit but has struggled lately, most recently 8th of 10 in a 2200m Caen Class E 2 months ago. Just hind shoes off this time and not an obvious choice

Can prove a handful but reassured in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E earlier this month. Takes on a tougher bunch here, but races unshod-behind, and will have his supporters

Made the frame in 3 before coming 8th of 10 finishers 2175m Vincennes Class D on 10 May. Races barefoot for the occasion but other more competitive choices available

On a cracking run of form since early-April, latterly 2nd of 12 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F mid-month, but in this company will have too much to do

Kicked the year off victoriously but has not been as sharp since, latterly 7th of 10 finishers in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche mid-May. Fitted with a new formula this time but others still easier to back

Would have finished closer than 4th in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E earlier in the month had he been afforded a run. No question over his form and could pleasantly surprise

Sanctioned early in a 2300m Chartres Class E on 2 June. Just front shoes off for the first time but others still preferred

7th of 15 in a 2725m Lisieux Class D 3 weeks ago. Lacks reliability, but not ability. Should take well to Enghien conditions and, if focused, will be no easy touch

Has turned a corner since starting to race with hind shoes off. Won a 2800m Rambouillet Class F mid-month and while unlikely to repeat, will still give his best

Has struggled since being stepped up in class, most recently 10th of 15 in a 2725m Lisieux Class D 3 weeks ago, and chances appear limited

3rd on re-entry before finishing 2nd of 13 in a 2450m Caen Class E a month ago. Benjamin Rochard maintains faith and looks a major player on his Enghien debut

A write-off since late last year, most recently last but one in a 2700m Vincennes Class D, and offers little hope

Won 2 in a row before being sanctioned early in a 2150m Vichy Class E on 12 June. Is evidently in fine shape and will not be far off the mark if he keeps his action together

Got off the mark in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Eric Raffin replaces Matthieu Abrivard in the sulky and looks a serious proposition

Put 4 straight sanctions behind him to come 4th of 12 in a 2800m Chartres Class E 10 days ago. Yoann Lebourgeois at the helm again and can be assured a competitive drive

Quality element with solid references in this category, most recently 4th of 12 in a 3125m Angers Class E on 11 June. Reunited with Matthieu Abrivard and can impose
