Has undeniable ability but is as complicated as they get, most recently going well when eliminated at Vincennes on Christmas Day. Is confirmed in the day's configuration and on good behaviour can get a look in

Debuted nicely under the saddle at Caen in mid-November, and then confirmed in the other code a fortnight later. Prepared for this under harness at Argentan and Arthur Rebeche gets the nod this time. Place chance

Returns to a track he appreciates after running 5th of 12 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 7 December. Is unlikely to spring any surprises but reverts to racing with 4 pads and has the wherewithal to make first 5

Good, consistent element making Cabourg debut after a surprisingly lacklustre run at Cagnes-sur-Mer a fortnight ago. Should not be too hastily-condemned and is expected to bounce back and finish close

Useful filly taking first competitive ridden steps after a re-entry run under harness at Vincennes 3 weeks ago. Clement Frecelle aboard for the occasion and will be expecting to fill one of the steps on the podium

Debuts under the saddle after a couple of disappointments under harness. Can trot on a good day and is certainly worth keeping an eye on

Even though late to see the racetrack, LA SCUPICCIA (5) has more than made up for it with some excellent performances in both disciplines. She has looked even better under the saddle than she did under harness and, already a winner here, is going to take all the beating. Mathieu Mottier will still be keeping an eye on L'ARTISTE ZEN (10) who has yet to disappoint for Alexandre Abrivard, and KAISER LATAL (7) who showed significant promise first time in the code. LADY DE SAFRAN (11) may be new to the discipline but has shown considerable ability under harness and deserves to be taken seriously.
Showed early promise but has struggled of late, latterly unplaced in a Vincennes Class C 3 weeks ago. In less-exalted company this time and should prove significantly more competitive. Chance

Showed marked improvement when 2nd of 12 in a Laval Class F over the same trip on 7 December. Races clockwise for just the 2nd time but deserves to take her chances here and is unlikely to disappoint. First 5

Talented colt that was quickly eliminated in a 2750m Class D here on 22 December. Is entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois for the first time and will be dangerous if his driver assures his charge's initial strides

Sprang a 113-1 surprise when 2nd of 12 in a 2750m Class E on debut here early last month. Will have come on for the run and in similar form can challenge for a place in the frame

NINA DE LA DUNE (7) showed considerable courage to win her Nantes debut in early-December; she will have progressed for the run, has had ample time to get back in shape, and despite the wide draw can double her money. NICE TO SEE YOU (1) takes on a more reasonable bunch than he did at Vincennes and with Alexandre Abrivard in the bike will be afforded every chance. NAXOS DIBAH (3) is clearly in excellent form and could well make a big splash if he gets off on the right foot. NOTTINGHAM FIRST (4) defied his odds here in early-December and must be taken more seriously on this occasion.
Handy filly sent for a break after flopping at Toulouse in September. Is a winner going right-handed but still best to hold off

Unraced since comfortably winning a 2675m Class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on 7 September. Has progress written all over her and, although possibly a race shy, will be unshod-behind and competitive for a first-5 cheque

Has turned a corner over recent months, latterly 3rd in a 2575m Saint-Brieuc Class E on 5 December. Clearly has considerable progress in her and should be able to bring the fight to MARAVIGLIA (4)

Solid in Bordeaux on her return to competition, MARAVIGLIA (4) lost her action in Paris next time, but will be fit by now, has nothing to prove at this level, sports a competitive configuration, and from the 4-spot will be hard to oppose. MAKITA BERRY (10) has started to come into herself over recent weeks, races first-time barefoot, and will be no pushover if Tony Le Beller positions her early. MISS SMART (12) did not skip a beat on her November re-entry and with shoes off this time will be competitive at the business end of the race. MEGAFLECHE (13) starts beside her on the back row, will also be barefoot for her Cabourg bow, and will have a lot to contribute if she takes to the new conditions.
Useful sort that has not been seen out since being pulled-up at Enghien last July. Is proven in good company and it would be no surprise to see him play an active part

A quality colt with bags of untapped potential, MONSEIGNEUR MADRIK (7) races competitively-shod for the first time and should be able to wrap this up if he keeps his action together. MAJOR DU GOUTIER (13) is still rather green, presents solid clockwise credentials, and with front shoes off can apply the pressure. MILANO DARLING (6) improves with every run, starts in front, has been reconfigured, and the Cabourg profile should suit him to a tee. Better-positioned behind the car, MIGHTY DREAM (3) is unlikely to disappoint if he keeps his action together.
Put in quite the performance here 11 days ago, on debut for new stable, after losing her action early. Is plainly close to her race though and with application can win for the first time in 2 years

Complicated she may be but LADY MYSTIC (1) could well have had her way here late last month had she not lost her action. Her performance will have nevertheless pleased her new trainer who will be determined to set the record straight. That said, LEA GIBUS (8) returns to the venue on a hat-trick and with application will be no shrinking violet. LOVELY TO SEE YOU (11) gave a good account here recently and should again contest a place on the podium. LA MOME DE CAHOT (4) races shod but is better than most here, and with Mathieu Mottier reining is unlikely to let the side down.

A fine campaigner under harness, JURAC DE VALFORG (10) has been reconfigured for his monte bow and at just 20 Euros from elimination, he is easy to fancy for the win. Clement Frecelle will need to be mindful though of JACK QUICK (5) who opened his ridden account over course and distance just 11 days ago, and the returning JIZUKE JIEL (6) who comes here on a 4-timer. Reliability may not be her strong suit but JANE HUDSON (1) has nothing to prove in this branch of the business and will be barefoot for her first goal of the winter.
Won at Chartres on comeback but eliminated in next 2. Sports front pads for the first time but others still easier to trust

Like a horse transformed since moving yards, LOUSTIC DE FLAM (6) makes his Cabourg debut on a 4-timer and, already a winner with Yoann Lebourgeois reining, can add another to his tally. It is unlikely to be all plain sailing though considering how well LOVE ACTUALLY (12) has taken to racing barefoot. L'AS DES CARAIBES (8) showed a different side to himself at Le Mans in mid-December and will be similarly-shod here. LESS TIME (5) can prove something of a handful, and has not been seen out for 2.5 months, but has been reconfigured and, if sufficiently-fit, can finish in the mix.
Honest element that has been putting in some fast times recently. Was particularly encouraging at Amiens and is not incapable of contesting the finish this time

Faces first objective of the winter after a trio of conditioners. Is barefoot for the occasion, has fine Cabourg form, and even from the back row could pleasantly surprise

Held his own in a Vincennes Class D before acquitting himself well at Angers. Has yet to deliver for his driver but it is just a matter of time. Place chance

Imposed at Argentan before being denied a run in Bordeaux. Goes particularly well for Tony Le Beller and despite the draw must be considered a contender

Has a pair of runs under his belt after 3 months off. Has pulled a rough number but is reunited with Francois Lagadeuc who placed with him at Le Mont-Saint-Michel during the summer, and will have his supporters

In cracking form before being sent for a spell in October, JUNKIES MINDS (3) goes barefoot from the 3-spot following a mid-December conditioner and can make this his own. Sebastien Ernault would be wise to be wary though of JAGUAR DE LAUMAC (1) who drops down the category-ladder for the occasion. IZIASLAV TEK (13) has been handed a tough draw but is plainly in fine shape and has excellent Cabourg references. Starting just to his inside on the 2nd line, INTELLO D'ERABLE (12) is back on the right road and will be reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois.
