Back from a break of six-and-a-half months. Failed to impress in two appearances last time in work, the latest effort a sixth over 1600m at this track. Doubt he will have much to offer first up.

Veteran who has been well held at the last couple of outings, the latest when fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at Pau All Weather. Has ability and is one of the major players.

Has been out of the money recently including last start when fourth over 1600m at Pau All Weather six weeks ago, beaten 3.5 lengths. Certainly worth another chance.

Didn't inspire again last start, beaten 7 lengths over 1800m at Lyon-la-Soie. Will need to improve sharply on recent form.

Remains a maiden after 10 starts, the latest a safely held 15th over 2000m at Pau All Weather. Can sneak into the finish.

Has been beaten a combined 50.4L in two starts this campaign. Likely to be safely held.

Doesn’t win out of turn and ran below par last time when fourth over 1650m at Machecoul and beaten 6 lengths. Will find this more suitable and can feature in the finish.

Good effort last time when he finished just 1.4 lengths away in sixth over 1600m at Pau All Weather. Rates highly and is in the mix.

Veteran who has been well held at the last couple of outings, the latest when 13th and beaten 12 lengths over 1500m at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Rates highly and is among the chances.

Hasn't won in two-and-a-half years. Finished 14th, beaten 21 lengths, last start over 1600m at Pau All Weather. Has ability and should measure up.

Has been easily accounted for at long odds in his last two appearances. Happy to overlook again.

Has not raced since finishing 11 lengths away in 14th over 1600m at Pau All Weather on December 4. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Has just one success to his name but has recorded one placings from 18 starts. Last start finished tenth over 2600m at Marseille Vivaux, beaten 13 lengths. Looks tested in this line-up.

Well held last start when friendless in betting over 1800m at Lyon-la-Soie. Looks tested again.

Broke through for an overdue win last time over 1650m at Machecoul. Confidence back and is worth following up.

Form in recent times has been moderate, including a last start eighth over 2000m at Pau All Weather. Has had plenty of chances and makes little appeal.
