Made amends for faulting here when 4th to FALCON JET (5) in a 2875m Enghien Class D on 29 June. Has a good spot behind the car and a reasonable chance of picking up a cheque

Like a horse reborn over recent months, latterly securing a 2825m Le Croise-Laroche Class E early-June and the draw will only enhance his already good prospects

12th of 16 behind FRANKLIN DE MESLAY (6) in a 2700m Vincennes Class D just over a fortnight ago, after having pleased at Le Croise-Laroche. Has a decent place on the front line and will be worth monitoring

Made up for his moderate Reims performance when winning a 2875m Arras Class A a month ago. Excellent in last 2 here and looks principal danger to HOLD UP DU SAPTEL (3)

3rd, a place behind HOLD UP DU SAPTEL (3), at Vincennes before faulting in a 2100m Class D at the same venue mid-June. Has nothing to prove at this level though and must be respected

5th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 9 days ago. Won under these conditions last time here and, in spite of the draw, is unlikely to go home empty-handed

Lost her way late 2023 and has picked up where she left off, most recently 10th of 13 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D a month ago, and the draw only adds insult to injury

Race Overview
At the top his game since winning at Saint-Omer mid-April, HOLD UP DU SAPTEL (3) most recently beat a number of these at Le Croise-Laroche and from the 3-spot can wrap this up. He will still encounter opposition from recent Class A turf winner HORS BORD (9) who has a particular liking for La Capelle, and the in-form FALCON JET (5) who won here earlier this year before scoring at Enghien last weekend. Shod as he was when winning here last season, HABIT DE SOIREE (10) will be expected to bounce back from his Vincennes sanction.
