Scored his 3rd success of the summer when tenaciously staying on to win a 2150m Mauquenchy Class E last week but is being asked to do too much this time

9th of 13 in a 2700m Class D at La Capelle earlier in the month and is properly out of his depth

Sanctioned, on return to competition, in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class E late-July. Tricky sort but has twice won over course and distance, comes here fresh and barefoot, and will have her supporters

Fine 2nd of 13 in a 2850m Class B on re-entry here on 21 August. Completed a hat-trick of victories here during the winter and can return to successful ways on his first objective of the new season

Surprise 4th in 6 September race of reference. Has merit but on this occasion appears to have too much to do

Respectable but unthreatening 5th of 15 in a 2100m Class E here 3 weeks ago but, in this category, will need to find considerably more

Winner at Saint-Jean-de-Monts before coming close 2nd of 11 in a 2475m Royan Class E on 25 August. Excels for Alexandre Abrivard and will justifiably garner significant support

Unlucky 3rd of 9, a place behind IACYNTHE DIDJEAP (10), in a 2850m Class D here 2 weeks ago, but can more than make amends if Yoann Lebourgeois keeps him out of trouble

5th of 9, behind IACYNTHE DIDJEAP (10), in a 2850m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Races barefoot for the occasion but has not lived up to his name for over a year

Good 2nd of 9 in a 2850m Class D here a fortnight ago. Can prove a handful but has otherwise been on a good run of form and is not going to be far off the mark

Completed the hat-trick before being headed in a competitive 2775m Craon Gr.3 2.5 weeks ago. Has nothing to prove under these conditions, enjoys a fine entry, and can bring home the bacon

7th behind IMPERATOR D'ELA (11) in a 2775m Craon Gr.3 2.5 weeks ago. Raced better that day than the result would suggest and drops back in category with a decent chance of making first 5
