Unseen since being sanctioned in a 2100m Class E here 2.5 months ago. 4 pads fitted for first time but others still easier to trust

Facile winner of a 2800m Cholet Class F on 2 March. Takes on a better lot this time but will be barefoot for the occasion and from the front line can get in on the action

3rd of 5 finishers in a 2900m Amiens ridden Class F on 5 March. Has other priorities and will have little to contribute

Sanctioned in 2 of last 3, latterly a 2800m Vire Class F on 2 March. Sports a new configuration but others still preferred

Quality element that ran 2nd of 14 in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class E 11 days ago, on first objective of the year. Eric Raffin reining for first time and is well-placed to give this a good go. First 5

Imposed at Nantes late-January prior to running 4th of 15 in a 2700m Class E here on 12 February. Excels on the main track and the new configuration may be just the ticket

Ran 3rd at Nantes before finishing 7th of 14 behind IQUEM D'AMER (9) in a 2850m Laval Class D a fortnight ago. Is no slouch in the right category but from the second row will have too much to do

In the frame in last 2, latterly 3rd of 14 in a 2700m Class E here late last month. Bought out of a claimer, he certainly has the wherewithal to win a race of this nature

Won 6 on the trot before coming 5th of 14, after a spell, in a 2850m Laval Class D a fortnight ago. Not ideally-entered but can finish closer if Franck Nivard keeps him out of trouble

Clinched a 2100m Class D here on 6 February, 3 weeks before coming 5th of 15 behind GRAND ROI KALOUMA (15) in a 2100m Class D, also here. Has nothing to prove at this level and will be no pushover

Last of 15, on first start for 5 months, in a 2750m Toulouse Class D a month ago. Barefoot this time but cannot be considered a priority

Complicated but talented trotter making first start since being sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class C last April. Barefoot for comeback but is likely to be race-rusty

Comfortable winner over course and distance a month ago, a week before running 4th of 14 in a 2850m Laval Class D. Goes well for her driver and even from the 2nd row should not be underestimated

Lost his action in a 2800m Pontchateau Class D 2 weeks ago. Has previously imposed over track and trip but chances slim this time around

Valiant 2nd of 15 in a 2100m Class D here on 26 February, having been sanctioned when on course for victory earlier in the month. In marginally better company this time but must still be considered a contender

2nd of 11 in a 2150m Enghien Class D a fortnight ago. Races shod this time though and best to hold off
