Did not enjoy the best of circumstances when sanctioned in a 2925m Class E here on 17 January. Can trot when focused and is not one to be overlooked

Rather unfortunate in both starts here this term, latterly sanctioned in a 2925m Class E here on 17 January. Has significant ability, hails from a yard in form, and can win this if she stays in stride

Last of 5 in a 2150m Class F here last Sunday. Competitively-shod this time, with her handler in the bike, and is sufficiently well-placed to give this a good go

Ran 4th over 2150m here before finishing 10th of 15 in a 2925m Class E here earlier in the month. Ran 2nd last time under these conditions and from the front line is unlikely to go home empty-handed

Sent for a break after securing the double here last July. Sanctioned after 200m on re-entry in a 2925m Class E, also here, on 17 January. Not once out of the frame when focused and even drawn wide, still looks the one to beat

An excellent servant when focused, and quite the fan of Cagnes-sur-Mer, JONGLEUSE DE BRY (7) lost her action early here recently but can redeem herself if Romain Derieux assures her initial strides. Better-placed in front, JUST PRETTY ONE (3) would have finished close here that day had she not been sanctioned, but Nicolas Ensch has shod her differently and will be eager to set the record straight. JIMMY DU CLOS (4) is barefoot for his first objective of the new year and being handed the 4-spot will only enhance his prospects. JAGUAR DELO (1) should not be too hastily-judged for his recent blunder here and, with application, is unlikely to disappoint.
Trounced in last 2, latterly 12th of 14 to FRONSAC (3) in a 2700m Class C here on 17 January, and has no possible chance

Not everyone's cup of tea but is hard to ignore after winning 2700m Class C here, with authority, 12 days ago, and even though stepping up in category will not be sent out at 114/1 this time

Winner of his last 10 starts, and undefeated in France, GLOBAL AGREEMENT (9) showed during the autumn that he can stay. He races barefoot for his first start of the year and will be expected to pick up where he left off. HUDO DU RUEL (8) cannot boast such a formcard but he has yet to be bested under these conditions and looks the main threat. GREAT OF MADRIK (10) left a good impression here recently and Henk Grift could not have asked for a better engagement. Going well when sanctioned in the Gr.3 Prix de la Cote d'Azur, FLOREAL (15) starts 25m further back but will have his chances if Robin Bouvier keeps him focused.

By no means disgraced when 5th of 7 finishers behind IDYLLE DU PERSIL (4) in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 19 January. Has been knocking at the door of late and while unlikely to get her nose in front, can still make first 5

IMPULSE JULRY (8) made it 3 in a row when dominating a Class E here mid-December, has been afforded ample time to recover, and the 4-timer looks a distinct possibility. That said, IRIS DES CHAMPS (12) has 2 runs under her belt, was simply magnificent at Cagnes last summer and, shod as she was then, will be expected to bring it on. Also well-entered, IRINA DE BAILLY (13) has been entrusted to David Bekaert for the first time and drops in category with a good hand to play. IDYLLE DU PERSIL (4) has yet to win here but her recent Vincennes performance bodes well for her chances of picking up another place cheque.
Reassured at Nantes before coming 5th of 13 in a 3125m Angers monte Class F 3 weeks ago. Has other priorities and can be passed over

Very hard to fault since the autumn, HERODE DU CORTA (6) trounced the opposition at Toulouse a week before Christmas and should take all the beating. Third on his Cagnes debut before prepping here recently, IDEFIX DE CENTULE (12) enjoys a wonderful entry and, barefoot for the occasion, will be no pushover. Dynamic over the past two months, GRAND TRIO LUDOIS (9) is difficult to ignore, as is IRU FUSHI (11) who has been knocking at the door lately.
Sanctioned when favourite in 9 January race of reference. Is not an easy horse to handle but sports a new configuration and, if applied, could pleasantly surprise

Consistently in the thick of things when he can stay focused, KHARTOUM DE LA FYE (10) boasts marvellous Cagnes form and with a race under his belt, can get back to doing what he does best. Romain Derieux will still want to be wary of KSAR VRIE (11) who has won 2 of 3 starts under these conditions, and KIKO JOSSELYN (8) who made short work of a similar event 3 weeks ago. KRUNCH BOCNEUF (9) has not been seen out for almost 2 months but thrives with David Bekaert and can pick up where he left off.

Sanctioned in both since the autumn break, most recently a Class E over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Ability and liking for Cagnes are not in doubt and it is just a question of time before he is competitive once more

Put away after winning at Avignon last May, returned on 18 December coming 3rd of 9 finishers, behind LOU PRESTANCE (5), in a Class F over track and trip. Is a serious sort in the making and looks the pick of the field

Ran 3rd in a 2650m Vivaux Class F mid-month, at 85/1, only to be disqualified for interference. Is never easy to gauge but with form, and stride, maintained can trot his way into the frame

Modest 5th of 6 finishers, a place behind LOU PRESTANCE (5), in a 2700m Class E here on 17 January. Is plainly better than that though and has a fine occasion to come good again

LIPSTICK QUICK (7) may have just three runs in him but he has shown significant aptitude for the game, made an excellent re-entry here last month, and with hind shoes off this time should more than have the measure of the useful LOU PRESTANCE (5) who finished ahead of him that day. LE DESTIN (8) defied his odds over at Vivaux mid-month and can play a leading role on Cagnes debut if his driver keeps him focused. Clearly talented but never far from faulting, LLUC DES BOSC (4) has had his freshener, goes unshod-behind for the first time, and with application will be no easy touch.
Makes first appearance on the Riviera after running 8th of 12 in a 2850m Vincennes Class A on Christmas Eve. Was by no means disgraced that day and should find conditions more to his liking here. Chance

Last of 12 behind MARQUIS D'ENFER (1) in a 2850m Vincennes Class A on Christmas Eve. Should not be condemned for the clinker and under these conditions should be able to get back in the game

Has taken well to Cagnes profile, latterly winning a Class D over course and distance earlier this month. Has significant room for progress and is ideally-positioned to wrap this up

Got off the mark at Saint-Brieuc last Friday, comfortably winning a 2575m Class F. Takes a marked step up in category though and not an obvious choice

Lacklustre last of 7 finishers behind MARQUIS D’ENFER in a 2100m Vincennes Class C on 18 December. Is no slouch on a good day but others still preferred

In the frame in 3 of last 4, most recently 2nd of 9 in a 2925m Class C here 12 days ago. Is plainly close to his race and will be no soft touch when push comes to shove

Put in a good effort to run 4th of 9 behind MATIGNON (6) in a 2925m Class C here 12 days ago. Gabi Gelormini in the bike this time and spoiling the party will be very much on his mind

Barring a blip at Laval, MISS LADY D'ALESA (3), has gone from strength to strength, has found conditions to her liking here, and from the 3-spot is well-placed to confirm her early-January victory. Esteban De Jesus will still be keeping a keen eye on MARQUIS D'ENFER (1) who takes a notable dip in category, and MANHATTAN ROUSSAC (8) who consistently gives everything he has.
Easy winner of a 2925m Class E here on 17 January. Breaks in front and has every chance of making her amateur debut a winning one

Left a good impression after being sanctioned in 9 January race of reference. Nicely-placed in front and will not be far off the mark if Philippe Terme keeps her trotting

Pleasant 6th of 16 in a 2650m Marseille-Vivaux Class F a fortnight ago. Entrusted to an experienced driver for first amateur steps and has a realistic chance of going close

Amateur specialist making first start since running 2nd of 12 in a 2750m Nimes amateurs Class G on 1 December. Barefoot for comeback though and will have claims on a first-5 cheque

In cracking form in the professional ranks, JAIKA DES FANES (1) may have been handed the rail this time but should nevertheless have this in the bag if she reproduces her latest performance. Better-placed behind the car and twice a winner in 3 amateur starts, ISPAHAN TEAM (3) will not be denied easily. Stablemate JYLVIE DE GUEUDE (6) takes a dip in category, starts in front, and in this company must be taken seriously. JAMAIQUE TURGOT (4) finds herself ideally-positioned in front, is shod to preference following a pair of conditioners, and is not about to let the side down.
