Reassuring 3rd over course and distance before faulting in a 2950m Le Mans Class E last week. Pierre-Yves Verva takes over and will not be far from the action if he manages to keep his charge applied

Won in either code at Enghien before being beaten by a very good horse in a 2175m monte Class C here late last month. At this level, would be preferred under the saddle but with Alexandre Abrivard reining must be respected

Won 2 of last 3, latterly with ease in a 2700m Class C here 3 weeks ago. Benjamin Rochard in the hot-seat this time and will be expected to confirm

One-paced 6th of 10 in a 2925m Cagnes Class A on 24 August, and will need to take his game up a notch

Returns to a track he appreciates after coming last of 5 in a 1600m Turin conditioner on 1 September. Will be suitably fit and expected to continue his Vincennes love-affair

Got back in the game when 3rd to DRAGOWSKI (3) in a 2700m Class C here 3 weeks ago. Thrives with Eric Raffin and is very hard to ignore

Out of sorts when 11th of 13 in a 2850m Class B here a month ago. Has little room for manoeuvre in this category and a minor place prospect at best

Has thrived since coming to France, most recently 2nd to DRAGOWSKI (3) in a Class C over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Forced to break wide but can still apply the pressure. Chance

Sanctioned in 30 August race of reference, on Vincennes debut. Nevertheless showed his form that day and considering he ran 3rd in a Berlin-Mariendorf Gr.2 last month, is not to be underestimated

Has struggled since coming to France, latterly sanctioned in a Class D over course and distance on 31 August, and has no possible chance

Put in a good effort to run 4th of 14 in a Class D over course and distance late-August. Takes on a better lot this time though and chances limited

Showed improvement when 4th to DRAGOWSKI (3) in a 2700m Class C here 3 weeks ago. Shoes back on and a repeat seems unlikely
