Back in business following a quartet of sanctions, most recently 4th of 10 in a 2900m Arras amateurs Class G 2.5 weeks ago, but can expect to find this a much stiffer test

Out of the picture this season, latterly 8th of 12 in a 2950m Mansle amateurs Class H 2.5 weeks ago, and can be confidently passed over

6th of 11 in a 2700m Graignes Class G a week ago. Starts in front and although not a priority, can still make first 5

9th of 12 in a 2600m Berck-sur-Mer Class F 3 weeks ago. Is barefoot and on the front line, but still has more to find

3rd of 13 in a 2725m Pornichet Class F a week ago. Enjoys a front-line break and looks eminently capable of trotting his way onto the podium

Reassuring 4th of 10 in a 2100m amateurs Class F here on 24 August. Boasts a solid amateur record and even from the 2nd row, can give this a good go. Place prospect

Trounced in all 4 starts this year, latterly last of 10 in a 2650m monte Class F at Le Sap 3.5 weeks ago, and has no realistic chance

Won at La Capelle before running 2nd to IQUITO PLANCHETTE (10) in a 2150m Enghien amateurs Class F 3.5 weeks ago. Is unlikely to impose but still looks the principal threat

Disappointing in 2 since placing at Enghien 2 months ago. Goes barefoot this time and, if focused, should not be far from the action

Won 2 at Enghien before securing another 2 at Vincennes, latterly outclassing the opposition over course and distance last week and, barring force majeure, can wrap this up
