Well-regarded type racing barefoot for return to the discipline, latterly 10th of 12 in a harness Class D over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago, but is unlikely to spring a surprise

Makes first appearance since coming 3rd of 11 in a 2950m Pornichet Class F on 12 July. Is barefoot for the occasion but cannot be considered a player this time around

Showed courage to dead-heat with KANDISSIME (11) in a Class D over course and distance 3.5 weeks ago. In better company this time but is plainly on the right path and must be considered a contender
J G Van Eeckhaute

Returns to the ridden code on a fine run of form, coming 2nd of 9 in a 2150m Cagnes harness Class D a month ago, but in this company will have too much to do

Has 2 runs under his belt since the break, latterly last of 14 in a 2100m Class D harness conditioner here 10 days ago. Barefoot for his monte 3-timer and looks the horse to beat

3rd at Cabourg on monte debut before coming in a tenacious winner of a 2250m Enghien Class D on 11 August. Unlikely to shake things up this time but is still worth keeping an eye on

Won 2 from 3 before flopping to 7th of 8 in a 2875m Enghien Class D early-August. Not the easiest to handle but won over track and trip last April and, on good behaviour, can get a look-in

Hard to fault lately, most recently coming 2nd to KORRIGAN OLIVERIE (9) in a Class D over course and distance 3.5 weeks ago. Not a priority this time but should at least be able to hold his own
Ecurie Tejy

Enjoying something of a renaissance, winning his last 2, latterly a Class D over course and distance 3.5 weeks ago, with consummate ease, and will have his chances

Scored her 3rd success of the season 11 days ago, holding on in a 2400m Class D at Beaumont-de-Lomagne. Races left-handed for just 2nd time but can play a role if she takes to the new profile
Ecurie Saint Martin

Back on track following 4 consecutive sanctions, most recently dead-heating with KATCHINA FOR CLARA (3) in a Class D over course and distance 3.5 weeks ago and, with application, can get in on the action

Makes first start since finishing 8th of 12 in a harness Class C under these conditions 3 months ago. Is more than capable in this branch of the business though and, barefoot for the occasion, must be respected
P M Rimbert

4th of 6 when preparing for this in a 2925m Cagnes harness Class C on 17 August. Has a lot going for him here and looks a serious proposition first time under the saddle
Ecurie D' Heripre
Race Overview
A host of horses in the running here but the nod must nevertheless go to KALIMERO JASMA (5) who returns to the discipline unbeaten when barefoot. Benjamin Rochard can still expect to feel the heat from the superbly-engaged monte debutant, KAPITAN D'HERIPRE (13) who is reunited with Alexandre Abrivard for the occasion, and KORRIGAN OLIVERIE (9) who returns to the venue on a hat-trick. Since moving to Charley Mottier's yard, KATCHINA FOR CLARA (3) has started to make good on her promise and steps up in class with a legitimate chance of confirming her latest success.

5 - 13 - 9
