Takes first competitive steps under the saddle after trailing in last but one, behind JENA JOSSELYN (12), in a 2450m Caen harness Class E last Saturday, and can be ignored

Has shown little aptitude for the game, most recently sanctioned early in a 2450m Caen Class F on 21 September, and can be ruled out

No slouch on a good day but looked ordinary when sanctioned in a Class F over track and trip 11 days ago, and even though freshly-configured, can be passed over

Came 2nd at Vire before finishing last but one in a 2450m Caen Class F 3.5 weeks ago. Is plainly better than that though and should not be discounted

4th of 9, at 37/1, in a Class F over course and distance 11 days ago, however a repeat seems improbable

Ran 4th under the saddle at Pornichet before finishing 10th of 12, when prepping for this, in a 2800m Rambouillet harness Class F mid-September. Padded-all-around this time but still appears to have too much to do

By no means disgraced when 5th of 13, on monte debut, in a 2450m Caen Class F 3.5 weeks ago. Races unshod-behind for first time but still no more than a minor place chance

Back under the saddle after trotting 5th of 10 finishers in a 2400m Amiens Class E 11 days ago. Pleased on monte debut last June but faces a much stiffer test this time around

Reliable type in the ridden code, most recently 3rd of 8 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 9 September. Is proven under these conditions and should logically finish close

Last but one in a harness Class E over course and distance a fortnight ago, when preparing for this. Won here 13 months ago when similarly-shod and can play a leading role

Makes just 2nd appearance in the discipline after finishing 8th of 11 in a 2875m Enghien harness Class E last week. Debuted well under the saddle during the summer here and, sporting 4 pads this time, must be respected

Makes just 4th monte appearance after running 6th of 12 in a 2450m Caen harness Class E conditioner last weekend. Has previously won under these conditions and will again be competitive for a step on the podium.

Sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class E late last month. Won last time here and can again bring home the bacon if Benjamin Chauve-Laffay keeps him focused
