10th of 12, on return to competition, in a 2700m Vincennes harness Class D 8 days ago. Races barefoot for first time under the saddle, but others still preferred

Sanctioned when never dangerous in a 2175m Vincennes Class D 2 weeks ago. Disappointing on the whole for some time and can be passed over

Made up for his Vincennes blip when victorious in a 2950m Le Mans Class E a month ago. Has delivered just once in 6 starts here but, in current condition, is arguably worth a punt

Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2800m Bernay harness Class E on 25 August. Has nothing to contribute and can be disregarded

Quality dual-discipline type that ran 12th of 15, on comeback, in a 2875m Meslay harness Class E 10 days ago. Won an Enghien Class D last time under the saddle and looks an important consideration

Serious sort that ran 5th of 12, at 126/1, on re-entry in a 2700m harness Class C at Le Croise-Laroche 10 days ago. Won over course and distance during the summer and can give IMPALA DE VAL (11) a run for his money

Left a good impression at Meslay 10 days ago when 3rd of 10 in a 2875m Class D. Is new to Caen but should appreciate the profile and is not about to disappoint

Never at his ease when 6th of 10, behind FERRERO DU LOISIR (7), in a 2875m Meslay Class D 10 days ago. Placed just once in 4 here though and not an obvious choice

Has 2 races under his belt since the break, latterly 6th of 13 in a 2650m Cordemais harness Class D last Sunday. Has never disappointed at Caen but is out of his league this time

Good consistent servant that ran an admirable 3rd of 13 in a 2150m Enghien harness Class D on 30 September. Is as good in one code as the other and has every chance of trotting his way onto the podium

Won 3 of 4 before losing his action in a 2700m Vincennes harness Class B a fortnight ago. Has won 2 of 3 over course and distance and will be expected to continue his love-affair with the venue
