Achieved his sole career victory in a handicap over this track and trip in December. Didn't go unnoticed when finishing 6th in a 2000m handicap on heavy ground at Fontainebleau on 6 March - contender

Unreliable mare whose only win was over 1500m on the PSF. Has stamina doubts over this distance and could only finish 6th in a 1600m handicap at Craon when last seen on 3 September - others preferred

Won a 2000m PSF handicap at Pau in January but looked less competitive under a 2,5kg penalty when only 5th in a handicap over that course and distance on 18 February. Has a bit to find

Won consecutive outings at Ostende in August but has gone off the boil since - is hard to make a case for here having finished a modest 7th in a minor 2100m contest on the PSF at Mons on 5 March. Overlook

Caught the eye when 3rd in a course-and-distance handicap on 7 December but, on the evidence of her 2 subsequent outings, appears to have regressed since. Finished 14th over track and trip on 25 January

Finished 11th in a 2000m handicap on heavy ground at Fontainebleau on 6 March but that effort is best ignored. Has sound references on PSF and should be more competitive reverting to this surface

No longer the force of old but has sound references off his current mark and undeniable means to play a role in a race of this nature. Finished 6th on a 2000m PSF handicap on 19 February

Returned to form with an encouraging 4th in a 1700m handicap on very heavy ground at Marseille-Borely on 13 February. Better suited to this surface and should make his presence felt

Hard-knocking veteran mare whose best efforts (all 6 career wins) have all come achieved on turf. Lacks PSF references and is best watched for now after finishing 9th in a 2100m handicap at Vittel on 19 August

Race Overview
OSER (1) has gone without a victory for more than a year but deserves a reward for her consistency. She gets the nod ahead of ASLAN SENORA (2), who has regained momentum with each start this year and is primed to run a big race. LOU BALICOT (10) has beaten the selection before and should be competitive too. ATLANTICA (8) and DIWAN SENORA (14) are consistent performers who have already proven they also have the means to be considered candidates for success.
Selection:
1 - 2 - 10
