Unraced since coming 2nd of 14 in a 2750m Pornichet Class F last August. Shoes on however and best to hold off

Lost his action in a 2850m Maure-de-Bretagne Class E last Tuesday. Can trot but would be preferred barefoot

Valiant 2nd of 11 finishers in a 2800m Vire Class E on 2 March. Is a tough nut when focused, returns to racing barefoot, and will not go down easily

Hardy sort making first appearance since running 9th of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E last November and races shod with slim to no chance

Winner of last 4 starts, latterly a 2900m Amiens Class F on 16 March. Highly-impressive here last month and on paper this looks a formality

Disappointing on the whole since last summer, most recently 7th of 11 in a 2625m Class F at La Rochelle early-March, and others easier to support

3rd over course and distance before repeating in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class D on 17 March and returns to the venue with a good hand to play

Imposed at Nantes before running 3rd of 14 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 21 February. Front pads fitted this time but is still worth retaining

Better than recent 6th of 8 finishers in a 2875m Enghien Class D 2.5 weeks ago would suggest. Has delivered in good company this winter and warrants significant respect

Gives a good account for the most part but has not raced since finishing last but one in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E last November. Barefoot for comeback however and will be worth keeping an eye on

Has bags of ability but has not been seen out since running 9th of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E last November. Races shod and poses no danger

Respectable 5th of 11 in a 2725m Graignes Class F on 16 March. Unlikely to spice things up but will be competitive for a minor place cheque

Pleasantly surprising 6th of 16 on comeback in a 2450m Caen Class D on 10 March. Assumes a tough ask this time and chances limited

Reliable type that ran 10th of 16 behind JOKER DE CHOISEL (16) on re-entry in a 2800m Argentan Class E 10 days ago. Ran 2nd here last season, is similarly shod, and will generate some interest

Last but one in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class D 12 days ago. Goes barefoot this time but has been a write-off all year and can be disregarded

Ran 2nd at Cherbourg before coming 4th of 16 in a 2800m Argentan Class E 10 days ago. Is clearly in rude health and will be competitive at the business end of the race
