Makes first appearance since coming 7th of 10 in a 2850m Vincennes monte Gr.3 early-May. Has other priorities and can be discounted

Surprise 5th of 10 finishers, at 169/1, in a 2875m Class C here a week ago, on first appearance since November. Hind shoes off this time, handed a good draw, but a repeat seems improbable

Valiant 2nd of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes Class C on 23 June. Is clearly at the top of his game and, from the 3-spot, looks the one to beat

Has struggled with form this term, most recently sanctioned in a 2650m Avignon Class D mid-June. Sports a previous configuration but can still be passed over

Has been knocking at the door in the provinces recently, latterly 2nd of 15 in a 3550m Niort Class A on 23 June. Benefits from a decent place behind the car, has never disappointed under these conditions, and can pick up a cheque

Sanctioned in a 2800m Class A on turf at Sable-sur-Sarthe 10 days ago. Boasts an excellent Enghien record though and will be no pushover

Sanctioned in a 2800m Class A on turf at Sable-sur-Sarthe 10 days ago. Is no longer the horse he once was and chances limited

Seldom gets her nose in front these days but finished 4th of 10 finishers in a 2875m Class C here a week ago. Forced to start wide but receives an Alexandre Abrivard drive this time and will be afforded every chance

Quickly sanctioned in a 2875m Class C here last week, but trotted 3rd in better company the race before and, despite starting on the back line, looks main threat to GALAGO DU CADRAN (3)

9th behind GALAGO DU CADRAN (3) in a 2100m Vincennes Class C late-June, on first start since the spell. Not ideally-drawn but, if fully fit, can get a look-in

Won over 2850m at Vincennes before coming 4th of 16 in a Class C over track and trip late-June, and a similar performance would see him go close

Won at Vincennes earlier in the year but unplaced in last 3, latterly 12th of 17 in a 2675m Class D at Le Mont-Saint-Michel a fortnight ago, and even with front pads fitted, has no possible chance

7th behind HAMILTON DU HAM (11), on return from his break, in a Class C over course and distance 11 days ago. Has previously won twice at the venue but still no more than a minor place prospect

Quality Italian veteran with an enviable strike-rate, most recently imposing over a mile in Naples late-May. Front shoes off for the occasion, placed 3rd last time here [4 yrs ago], and with David Thomain reining, must be taken seriously

Not without merit but last of 14 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 21 June and, even though sporting modified shoeing, appears once more to be biting off more than he can chew

Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2875m Class C here 12 months ago. Shoes on and will need the race
