Last but one in a 2750m Cabourg Class E early-August. Not as sharp as he was in the spring and chances appear slim

Pleased at Cabourg before finishing last of 6 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E 9 days ago. In less-exalted company this time and is well-placed to get in on the action

Has had time to freshen up after coming 2nd of 6 over track and trip late-July. Is plainly an improving filly and is well-placed to challenge L'AMIRAL TURGOT (6) for the win

Honest colt that trotted 4th behind LILY MARGOT (3) in a Class E over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Always gives his best and has the capacity to finish in first 5

Promising sort but has not been seen out since coming 6th of 7 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D mid-May, and will need the run
M Debrun

Confirmed his good qualification with 2 straight wins, most recently a Bagnoles-de-l'Orne Class F over 2850m mid-August. Leading driver at the helm and will be expected to maintain his perfect status

Is not without merit but will need to improve on his 6th in Cabourg race of reference

Tricky sort but can trot and is proven here. Drops back in category after coming 6th of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 2 weeks ago and, in the hands of Franck Nivard, will be expected to go close

Sent for a break after winning at Le Neuborg in May. 4th, close behind L'ECLAIR DE PLAY (2), on re-entry in a 2050m Cabourg Class E 3 weeks ago. On 2nd row but still worth keeping an eye on

Lost her maiden tag in a 2200m Class E at Agon-Coutainville 2 weeks ago. Draw will not be an issue in this small field and the engagement of Francois Lagadeuc will only work in her favour

Untried gelding that qualified without fanfare last season and makes his debut with limited ambition

Race Overview
Comfortable winner of both starts to date, L'AMIRAL TURGOT (6) sports hind pads, takes to the sand for the first time, with Yoann Lebourgeois reining, and looks eminently capable of pulling off the hat-trick. Similarly progressive, LILY MARGOT (3) finished 2nd over course and distance late-July and, from the 3-spot, will not go down easily. Sanctioned when going well here last month, LITTLEKING FOXGLEN (8) is better than his Vincennes result would suggest and entrusted to Franck Nivard, will be afforded every chance. Although not exactly a model of consistency, LEA D'AMOUR (10) opened her account late last month and is not incapable of picking up a place cheque.

6 - 3 - 8
