Consistent hard-knocker confirmed under these/similar conditions in this barefoot configuration. Showed his form and well-being when 2nd over 3000m at Salon-de-Provence on 1 September so isn't taken lightly

Undefeated in August, winning consecutive (both) starts at Hyeres last month - the latest racing shod over 2650m on 12 August. Will fight for victory in her hat-trick bid

Delicate trotter disqualified in 7 of his last 10 appearances, though undeniably capable of playing a leading role if applied/remaining wise despite finishing 14th (shod) over 2850m at Feurs on 2 September. Keep safe

Unreliable mare. Seldom far off the mark on a going day but is best watched for now having been soundly beaten over 2450m at Castillonnes on 8 September

Complicated trotter disqualified in 4 of his last 6 starts, including his latest at Vichy on 14 September. Won't be far off the mark if remaining wise (avoiding disqualification)

Versatile mare with sound references/form credentials in both trotting categories, including a last-start 4th under the saddle over 2950m at Vichy on 14 September. Not taken lightly returned to the harness code

Has regained momentum recently and proven her efficiency/competitiveness in this shoeing configuration by finishing 3rd in consecutive recent starts, the latest over 2800m at Auch on 1 September. Will be a factor

Inconsistent but confirmed under these/similar conditions and in this unshod configuration. Disappointed (9th) at Auch over 2800m on 1 September so needs to reaffirm

Unplaced in 3 consecutive outings before his last-start disqualification at Jullianges on 25 August. Needs to reaffirm - watch for now

Unreliable trotter although not entirely incapable of making his presence felt in a race like this, especially in this (barefoot) configuration. Unplaced (9th, shod) over 2140m at Rattvik when last seen on 15 July
