Returns to racing barefoot after faulting in a 2400m Amiens conditioner last weekend. Leading driver in the bike this time and must be respected

Sanctioned in a 2725m Cabourg Class E, on seasonal re-entry, late-August. Will have come on but, in this company, will have little to offer

Capable type that finished last of 11, on return to competition, in a 2625m Agen Class F mid-September. Shoes off this time but others still preferred

6th of 11 when preparing for this in a 3200m Class F at Blain-Bouvron-Le Gavre 3 weeks ago. Excels with his driver and, if fully-fit, can play a leading role

Sanctioned here last month before finishing 9th of 15 in a 2700m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche 10 days ago, and can expect to remain friendless

Made up for his blip at Les Sables when 2nd of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-September. Right-handed form is unsure but will be dangerous if he turns

Honest trotter that ran 5th of 14 in a 2800m Bernay Class F late-August. Has freshness on his side, is barefoot for the occasion, and can pick up a cheque if he stays focused

Encouraged at Amiens before finishing 6th of 8 in a 2175m Vincennes Class E a month ago. In his element racing clockwise but still cannot be considered a priority

Respectable 4th of 9 in a 3000m Chateaubriant Class D early last month. Is back in his category and has every chance of imposing

Easily won a 2750m Ecommoy Class F 3 weeks ago. Has hardly put a foot out of place recently and, front shoes off this time, moves back up in category with a good hand to play

Has 2 races under his belt, most recently last but one in a 2150m Vichy Class E 3 weeks ago, and others easier to back

Placed twice before running 4th of 7 in a 2200m Class E here on 9 September. Franck Nivard at the helm this time and should be good enough to challenge for the win

6th of 16 in a 2700m Class E at La Capelle on 23 September. Consistently in thick of things, races barefoot but, on this occasion, will need to find more

In cracking form but never far from faulting, which he showed when sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class E 3 weeks ago. Pleased on lone appearance here however and should not be discounted

Useful type that finished last of 9 in a 2050m Laval Class E, on re-entry late last month. Still in conditioning mode and best to hold off

Has not been seen out since winning a 2150m Vichy Class F on 1 July. Shoes off for comeback and best to wait
