Good campaigner that is clearly back at his best, most recently 3rd of 11 in a 2700m Vire Class E on 1 July, but could have gone closer that day and can impose this time

Courageous 4th of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class D a month back. Enjoys a good spot behind the car and has the wherewithal to make a big splash on Pornichet debut

Not short of ability but disappointing of late. Faulted in a 2825m Chartres Class D late-June and despite a decent draw here, nevertheless appears to have too much to do

Decent 4th of 11 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class F last week. Benjamin Rochard in the wagon this time and, ideally-positioned in front, will afford his charge every chance
Ecurie Marc Sassier

Has ample ability but sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class D 2 weeks ago. Sports a previous configuration, with Eric Raffin reining, and will not be far from the action if he can keep him trotting

Won at Laval late-April but has twice failed to confirm, most recently 6th behind IDEFIX DES LANDES (2) in a 2850m Laval Class D mid-June. Has won twice at Pornichet in the day's configuration and must not be overlooked

Very hard to fault in last 3 starts, most recently 3rd of 13 in a 3200m Montmirail Class E on Sunday. Has no references here, and starts wide, but is fitted with front pads and will be competitive for a minor place cheque

Quality element that came 4th of 12 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class D early last month but shoes back on this time and best to wait

Handy Italian mare taking first steps on French soil. 2nd over 2100m in Naples late May, comes here fresh and unshod behind, and while not a priority, Paul Ploquin reins and will have her supporters
Mme Fortunata D'amico

Unplaced in both starts since returning to competition, latterly last of 10 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago, and can be ruled out

Has little to write home about since coming south. Sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class D late June and has no realistic chance

Fine Swedish raider making French debut off the back of a good 3rd over 2140m at Solvalla late-May. Has had time to acclimatise and will be expected to put on a fine show. Chance

No slouch on a good day and most recently 4th of 10 finishers in a 2100m Vincennes amateurs Class G a month ago but has little going his way here and others preferred

Race Overview
Tenacious winner at Caen before placing at Vire 10 days ago, IDEAL DE SASSY (1) benefits from a good entry, races with just hind shoes for the occasion, and Damien Bonne will be loathe to pass up such a good opportunity. BOLD REQUEST (12) is forced to break from the 2nd line but has serious form at home in Sweden and, even though shod for the occasion, can figure prominently. IDEFIX DES LANDES (2) scored at La Roche-Posay before pleasing at Laval and from the 2-spot, looks a player. CRALGIDO SM (5) is not the easiest of horses to handle but is shod differently this time and will be no pushover if he stays in stride.
