10th of 13 in a 2850m Brehal Class E last Monday. Shod to preference this time but still looks outclassed

Returned to winning ways on turf in a 3450m Agon-Coutainville Class E 2 weeks ago. Has a good spot in front and, although unlikely to repeat, can still make his presence felt

5th of 12, behind GRANIT DU FRESNE (6), in a 2775m Lignieres Class D a week ago. Raced better than the result would suggest and has a lot going for him here. Claim

6th of 14 finishers in a Class D over course and distance late last month. Has been off the boil for some time and chances slim

Excellent in last 3 barefoot starts, latterly close 2nd in a 2950m Vichy Class D on 2 July. Has previously won here and in present shape is very easy to like

3rd of 12 in a 2775m Lignieres Class D last weekend. Starts in front, with Franck Nivard at the helm this time, and looks a solid first-5 prospect

7th of 14, when being conditioned, in a 2725m Pornichet Class D earlier in the month. Entrusted to a top driver this time and must be respected accordingly

Made it 2 victories in succession when winning a 2100m Vincennes Class E at 23/1 late-June. P-Y Verva reining this time and the 3-timer is well within his capacity

4th of 6 over 2400m at Waregem a month ago. Hind shoes off but can still expect to find himself treading water

Encouraged at Chartres late-June before faulting in a 2800m Bernay Class A a week later. On the back line, reverting to an earlier configuration, and poses no danger

Encouraging 6th of 13 finishers in a 2950m Le Mans Class E mid-month. David Thomain drafted in for the occasion and is not incapable of picking up a minor place cheque

Beaten only by a very good horse here earlier in the month before trotting 4th in Lignieres race of reference. Unlikely to get his nose in front but will be competitive for a slice of the pie

Pleasant 3rd of 13 in a Class D over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Steps up in category and others easier to support this time

Sanctioned early in a 3100m Royan Class A 2 weeks ago. Eric Raffin reining for first time but still not easy to make a case

Pleased twice here over past month but sanctioned in a 3450m Agon-Coutainville Class E a fortnight ago and the draw only compounds matters

9th of 13 in a 2950m Le Mans Class E 11 days ago. Handed a dreadful draw and has no realistic chance
