Failed to confirm his victory at Les Andelys when last but one in a 2150m Enghien Class D last weekend. Fitted with 4 pads this time but still no more than a minor place chance

Has merit but sanctioned in last 2, latterly when spent, in a 2450m Caen Class D mid-June, and others easier to back

Won a 2200m Vichy Class F by a country mile 10 days ago, and could well double his money if he stays in stride from one end of the race to the other

In the frame in first 3 before a below-par 6th of 10 in a 2275m Nantes Class D 2 months ago. Shoes back on but Benjamin Rochard in the saddle this time and is unlikely to be too far off the mark

Won a provincial Class G before finishing 2nd of 9 in a 2200m Caen Class E late-May. Comes here fresh and will be expected to garner the lion's share of support

Has not been seen out since trotting 2nd of 11 early-February after having won over 2750m on debut here 2 months earlier. May be somewhat race-rusty but still has the wherewithal to finish in the mix

Has not put a foot out of line this term, most recently 3rd of 11 finishers in a 2700m Vire Class E on 12 June, and the new shoeing formula may be just the ticket

5th of 7 in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle 2 weeks ago and, even with Mathieu Mottier reining, is unlikely to trouble the opposition
