5th of 11 finishers, at 38/1, in a 2150m Enghien Class E last week. Not the most generous horses here and looks out of her depth

Complicated element that finished a reassuring 2nd of 10 in a 2550m Beaumont Class D 10 days ago. Fitted with 4 pads for first time and will not be far off the mark if Frederic Clozier keeps him focused

Produced 3 solid Beaumont efforts before faulting in a 3000m Borely Class E last Friday. On front line this time but others still preferred

Encouraged at Cazaubon-Barbotan before finishing 8th of 10, behind FORREST GUMP SET (2), in a 2550m Beaumont Class D 10 days ago, and will have few friends

Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2600m Saint-Galmier Class E a week ago. Has otherwise been in good shape, but appears to be biting off more than he can chew

Pleasant 5th of 11 in a 2750m Angouleme Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is proven here but others still easier to back

Runner-up twice before finishing close 3rd of 10 in a 2600m Saint-Galmier Class E a week ago. Is plainly close to his race and can be expected to finish in thick of things

Disappointing in last 2, most recently 11th of 15 in a 2900m Challans Class E 10 days ago, and can be ruled out

Produced 3 frame-finishes before trailing in 16th of 18 in a 2825m Durtal Class F 10 days ago. Must be excused that run and, from front row, can give this a good go. First 5

Sanctioned in 3 before coming 4th of 14 in a 2800m Castera-Verduzan Class E last week. Ideally-entered and, with front shoes off, can play a small role if focused

Unremarkable 6th of 10, behind FORREST GUMP SET (2), in a 2550m Beaumont Class D 10 days ago. On 2nd line and is unlikely to shake things up

9th of 12 in a 2550m Beaumont Class A 10 days ago. Has decent Agen references and even with extra 25m to travel, can finish in the mix

5th of 11, a place behind GIROLAMO (14), in a 2300m Borely Class B on 11 October. On back line but still has the wherewithal to win this

4th of 11 in a 2300m Borely Class B on 11 October, finishing ahead of HAPPYJO DE LIGNY (13). Incurs the penalty but drops back in category and has every chance of imposing this time

10th of 12 when preparing for this, behind ENTRE AMIS (12), in a 2550m Beaumont Class A 10 days ago. Has nothing to prove in this category and looks competitive for the win
Jerome Larquet
Race Overview
It has been a whopping 900 days since GIROLAMO (14) last got his nose in front, but he has clearly started to make moves and even from the back line, can get that particular monkey off his back. He will be opposed though by second-row starters HAPPYJO DE LIGNY (13), who has 2 races under his belt since the summer break, and a barefoot GARDNER SHAW (15) who will be partnered by Alexandre Abrivard for the first time. 25m better off and as dependably-performant as they come, HULK DE TILLARD (7) has never finished closer than 5th here but in current form is very easy to like.
