Has done nothing but improve since the spell, most recently 3rd of 9 finishers in an 1800m Class D at La Capelle 3 weeks ago. Steps up in category though and is unlikely to shake things up

Ran 4th at Angers before faulting, when full of running, in a 2800m Vichy Class C on 26 June. Has the 2-spot but in this company, will have his work cut out

Drops in category after coming 8th of 14 finishers in a 2100m Vincennes Class C a month ago. Handed an excellent draw and will be competitive for a first-5 payday

Denied a run, finishing 10th of 14, in a 2100m Vincennes Class C late last month. Benjamin Rochard reining this time and, from the 4-spot, can play a prominent role

Respectable 7th of 9 when being conditioned in a 2475m Royan Class E a fortnight ago. Is confirmed here, goes barefoot for the occasion, and can get straight down to business

2nd of 9 finishers in a 2750m Cabourg Class D 8 days ago. Shoes on this time though and best to hold off

Sanctioned in a 2100m Vincennes Class C on just 2nd start back. Has never let the side down at Enghien and, shod to preference, looks the pick of the field

Won 3 of last 4, including over track and trip, most recently imposing with authority in a 2200m Le Mans Class D 11 days ago. Has good speed and the wherewithal to secure the hat-trick

5th of 15 in a 2150m Class C here on 10 July. Starts on back line again but a repeat seems improbable

Sanctioned in all 3 French starts, latterly a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 21 June, and must get his house in order

Yet to open his French account, most recently unlucky 5th to DE GAULLE GRIF (14) in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 21 June. Not a priority but can still play a role if Eric Raffin keeps him out of trouble

Showed improvement when 6th, a place behind DADA DEL RONCO (9), in a Class C over course and distance on 10 July. On the back line and will have too much to do

Encouraging 8th of 13 in a Class C over track and trip 2 weeks ago. Won under these conditions earlier in the year and, with Franck Nivard reining, will be afforded every chance

Won 2 of last 4, most recently a 2850m Vincennes Class D with ease. Has thrived since moving yards and, despite the draw, can make a big splash

Last of 8, on re-entry, in a 2875m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Handed a tough draw and can be ruled out
