Unplaced (10th) on this course in a 1300m handicap on 25 May. Shouldn't be taken lightly in his first outing at this level

Hard-knocking handicapper 3rd in a 1500m PSF handicap at Deauville on 25 August. Probably more effective over further but warrants respect all the same

Consistent, versatile hard-knocker whose competitiveness off his current mark (in handicaps) is assured. Runner-up in a conditions race at Argentan on 5 June in his last 1300m appearance - drop in class will suit

Runner-up in both claiming races on turf last year but has lost his way/form since, albeit in handicaps. Didn't go unnoticed when 6th in a 1300m turf handicap at Vittel on 18 August - attractive outsider

Long-time maiden (16 starts) soundly beaten/unplaced in her last 3 starts, albeit in handicaps. Well-beaten 14th in 1400m handicap at Le Lion-d'Angers on 26 July

Won an 1100m Dieppe handicap on 29 July and proved his competitiveness under a resultant 2,5kg penalty (current mark) by finishing 4th in Vichy handicap over 1000m on 23 August. Ought to remain competitive

Last-start winner of a 1600m claimer at Royan on 4 August. Ought to remain competitive with Florent Guy in the irons

Consistent, versatile veteran 3rd in a 1300m handicap at Vittel on 18 August. Finished 3rd in a 1400m claimer at Nancy when last seen in this grade

Battling 16-start maiden yet to finish on the podium. Soundly beaten (10th) in 1400m PSF Deauville handicap on 3 August

Out of sorts and unplaced in all 4 appearances/handicaps this year, the latest (14th) over 1100m at Deauville on 13 August. Drops in class

Capable but inconsistent hard-knocker. Won a 1400m Compiegne handicap and finished 2nd in a handicap at Chantilly over 1200m so shouldn't be hastily condemned for his last-start 7th at Le Lion-d'Angers on 26 July
