Debuts in the capital after faulting in a 2750m Class F at La Ferte-Vidame 2.5 weeks ago and seems to be biting off more than he can chew

5th of 7 in a monte Class E over course and distance last week. Has yet to make her mark in this category and is not about to start

Disappointing since returning to competition, latterly sanctioned in a 2050m Cabourg Class E 9 days ago and, even with just front pads fitted, cannot be considered a player

In the frame in last 2 claimers, latterly 3rd over 2800m at Sables-d'Olonne on 17 August. In better company this time though and chances limited

Returns to the harness code with 4 pads fitted for first time, after coming 5th of 7 in a 2875m Enghien monte Class D 3 weeks ago. Eric Raffin reining and is unlikely to be far from the action

7th of 10 finishers in Enghien race of reference. Has otherwise been consistent in this category and looks a respectable first-5 prospect

Pleased in the provinces before coming 4th to LORIE DE LA PRADE (11) in a 2150m Enghien claimer mid-August, and will not be available at 27/1 this time around

Sanctioned when unsupported in race of reference. Has previously won at this level but needs to get her house in order

Left a good impression in 16 August race of reference despite her disqualification. Unlikely to win this but can still finish in the mix

Ran better in the race of reference than her 6th place would imply. Appears to be on the way back up and will have the measure of most. Place chance

Won a 2150m Enghien claimer mid-August on first appearance in the category. Benjamin Rochard reining this time and will again be a contender for the trophy

In the frame in last 2, latterly unlucky 3rd in a 2150m Enghien claimer on 16 August, but can more than make amends if Franck Nivard keeps him out of trouble

Pulled-up after a poor-trip in the race of reference, but did please at Vincennes on penultimate start. Modified shoeing but others still preferred

Race Overview
Dependable on the whole and solid in the claiming category, LANCELOT VENESI (12) was denied a run at Enghien 3 weeks ago and Franck Nivard will be out to turn the tables on LORIE DE LA PRADE (11) who imposed that day. A pleasantly-surprising 6th on that occasion, LARIFLETTE (10) will appreciate a return to 2700m. LIBELLA DU HOULBET (9) finished in the money only to be disqualified for interference but, reuniting with Mathieu Mottier will do her prospects no disservice.
