Disappointing of late, most recently 7th of 13 in a 2850m Class E at Lyon-Parilly 12 days ago, and is not about to spring a surprise

Has hardly put a foot wrong all year, most recently finishing 2nd of 13 in a 3025m Class F at Montier-en-Der early last month, but can expect to find the going somewhat tougher here

Versatile and in-form trotter that won smartly on his Vincennes debut late-August, smartly winning a 2700m Class E, and returns to the capital with every chance of repeating

Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2700m Class A at Aix-les-Bains late-July. Barefoot for re-entry, but still not a priority

Honest trotter that ran 6th of 12 in a 2850m Parilly Class D on 18 September. Unlikely to shake things up and others easier to back

Placed at Pornichet before coming 4th of 12 in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle on 27 August. Has had time to freshen up and although not the biggest fan of Vincennes, can still play a small part

Pleased at Alencon early last month before trailing in 10th of 15 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E a fortnight later and, even sporting a new configuration, will have little to offer

On a fine run of form, latterly 2nd of 10 in a 2100m Class D here 12 days ago. Bruno Marie reining again and will have justified ambition on a place in the frame

Blows hot and cold but finished a reassuring 4th of 14 in a 2725m Pornichet Class E a fortnight ago. Benjamin Rochard at the helm this time and will be no easy touch

2nd of 11 in a 2500m Reims Class E mid-September. Has shown solid aptitude in the day's configuration and, given his record under these conditions, must be afforded considerable respect

Unlucky not to have finished closer than 5th of 11 in a 2850m Class D here on 21 August. Returns refreshed, has won 5 of 7 for Eric Raffin, and will be expected to contest the finish

Sent for a break after faulting in a Class D over course and distance late-June. Imposed at this level during the spring and, if fully fit and focused, can get in on the action
