Quickly sanctioned when well-supported in a 2750m Cabourg Class E early this month. Is better than recent numbers would suggest and despite the inside draw, can play a small role

9th of 12 in a 2700m Class C here on 31 December. Takes to the claiming category with Alexandre Abrivard reining and a realistic chance of challenging for the win

8th of 11, on comeback, in a 2700m Class E here on 18 December. Disappointing on the whole and even though reconfigured, is unlikely to make much of an impact

Ran 3rd under these conditions before coming 5th of 12 finishers to KELLE EAU (12) in a 2700m claimer here on 13 December. Has good speed, enjoys a fine place on front line, and should be able to make the frame this time

Makes first appearance since finishing 8th of 10 in a 2700m Class E here on 25 November. Barefoot for the occasion, is nicely-drawn, and deserves to be taken seriously

Failed to fire when 6th of 12 finishers to KELLE EAU (12) in a 2700m claimer here on 13 December. Is considerably better than the result would imply, and even though starting wide in front, can still play a prominent role

Disappointing over the main track before being sanctioned early in a 2550m Bordeaux Class D late last month. Is confirmed in this category and will not be far off the mark if Anthony Barrier positions him early

Opened her claiming account at first time of asking, comfortably dominating a number of these over 2700m here on 13 December. On 2nd line and unlikely to repeat but can still finish in the mix

It's anyone's race this but KALINE DES RIOULTS (7) has nothing to prove at a level like this and despite being drawn wide, she can wrap this up if her handler keeps her trotting. Better-placed in the 2-spot, KINNAIRD (2) has yet to make her mark here but in this category must be considered a leading contender. KALIKA DU RIS (4) has been lurking of late and the excellent draw will only work to her advantage. KERGOMAR SIBEY (8) failed to live up to expectations last month but still has the capacity to play a more competitive role this time.
Made the frame in 2 before being sanctioned in a 2175m Class E here last Friday and may again be taking on too much

KARAT DEFF (4) may not be the easiest of horses to handle but he left a very good impression here recently and even with shoes on can bring home the bacon. David Thomain will nevertheless be wary of KER POULGWEN (9) who races barefoot following a most promising re-entry in late-November. Hard to fault in this configuration, and good finisher here earlier in the month, KARAMBA KARACHO (5) is unlikely to be far off the mark. As good in one code as the other, KRACK CLEA (11) enjoys a superb engagement and represents a decent place prospect.
Steps up in category after being sanctioned in a Class D under these conditions a month back and appears to be biting off more than she can chew

Makes just 2nd start in the discipline after dead-heating in a harness Class C over course and distance on New Year's Day. Takes on a better lot this time but reverts to a previous formula and can still hold her own

A quality element under harness, HERE WE GO (14) takes to the monte code for the first time, sports a new configuration for the occasion, and with Mathieu Mottier in the irons can get straight down to business. Opposition will take the form of HANNAH (11) who is plainly close to her race, and the reconfigured HARRY CARISAIE (12) who has shown significant monte potential. GREZ (7) may not have been seen under the saddle since last May but his form is sure and has a realistic chance of making the frame.

On paper, it looks like there are just two in it, FRANKLIN PARK (15) taking a big dip in category after having pleasantly surprised in a Class D here last week, and FEE LUCERNAISE (17) who seldom disappoints when partnered by Eric Raffin. Unlucky here recently HOLLY SHINE (5) enjoys a 25m head-start and will be competitive for a spot on the podium, as will the reconfigured GALION VOLSIN (3) who raced better at Pontchateau than the result would suggest.

Winner of 2 in a row before being sent for a long layoff, KAVIVE (4) has been excellent since returning to competition, and considering how she performed here last time out, the race looks hers for the taking. Mathis Champenois will still be keeping a watchful eye on the well-engaged KISS ME JO DARLING (10) who drops marginally in category, and KITENA (9) who imposed under these conditions last winter when sporting similar shoeing.
Returns to racing shod after finishing last of 9 behind LASCAR PILE (13) in a 2850m Class E here last week and will have few friends in the markets

Decent 4th of 9 in a 2850m Class E over inner course last week. Well-regarded at home and has every chance to prove the point. Place prospect

4 times 2nd before finishing 7th of 12 in a 2175m Class E here 3.5 weeks ago. Is significantly better than that and will be expected to contest the finish this time.

A good future prospect, LEXCELLENT DU METZ (3) would have imposed here last month had he not faulted 100m out, but is plainly the best horse here and racing unshod-behind may be just the ticket to his redemption. Wonderfully-entered, LEONARD DE VINCI (15) races first time barefoot and could well get that maiden monkey off his back. Clearly on the right road, and first-time barefoot, LUGANO DE HOUELLE (2) will be driven by Eric Raffin for the occasion and looks a player. LASCAR PILE (13) has been climbing the category-ladder in good order and will have a lot to offer if he takes to the main-track profile.
Flattering 5th of 6 behind LITYGE DE CYM (10) in a 2750m Cabourg Class E on 19 December. Front pads fitted but others still preferred

6th of 9, despite missing the start, in a 2200m Class E here on 13 December. Is plainly a capable type and can play a leading role if he gets off on the right foot

Made amends for 2 sanctions when 3rd of 6 in a 2200m Class E here on 3 January. Has yet to deliver over main track but sports modified shoeing and will be worth monitoring

Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2750m Cabourg Class E late-October. Has ample ability though, is clearly in competition-mode, and must be afforded respect

Runner-up on monte debut at Cordemais prior to losing his action in a 2350m Angers Class E a week ago. Top jockey aboard this time and can trot off with the spoils if he keeps his charge focused

Quickly sanctioned in a 2750m Cabourg Class E on 19 December. Is better than his formcard would suggest and racing first-time barefoot may make all the difference. First 5

A different horse since switching codes, most recently dominating a 2875m Argentan Class F 11 days ago. Races left-handed for just the 2nd time but will have a lot to contribute if he turns

4th of 6, a place behind LOVE DE BEAULIEU (5), in a 2200m Class E here on 3 January. Barefoot for the occasion but will still need to find more

Although still rather spirited, LOUSTIC DU VIVIER (8) showed a different side to himself on his maiden start under the saddle and racing barefoot for the first time, with Mathieu Mottier riding, can open his monte account. LILIUS DE GUEZ (2) can also prove a handful but his potential is not in question and, reconfigured for the occasion, will be dangerous if Jean-Yann Ricart keeps him trotting. LITYGE DE CYM (10) has turned a corner since moving disciplines and can go close if he takes to the new conditions. LOUPIOT DE CHENU (6) has something of a similar profile and makes his Vincennes debut with morale intact.
Encouraged early last month before running 9th of 13 in a 2725m Grenade amateurs Class G on 22 December and will have few takers

Never far from faulting but reassuring 3rd of 15 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E 2 weeks ago. Is proven over the inner course and makes her main-track debut with legitimate ambition. First 5

Barefoot following a Graignes conditioner, IOUPY TOLLEVILLE (14) takes to the amateur division for the first time and can win this if he replicates his Meslay performance. 25m better off and already a winner under these conditions, ISLA JUELA (7) makes just her second start back, and stays shod, but still has the quality to win at this level. HEMILIO PIERJI (13) has been knocking at the door this winter and sporting hind pads for the first time could make all the difference. IDOLE DELICE (8) opened her amateur account mid-December before pleasing in better company at Pontchateau and is unlikely to let the side down.
