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
Ecurie Nicolas Ensch

DhDh2h3hDh0
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
Y A Briand

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
Ecurie Stable Be

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)
M Gallier

2h4h6h0h5m4
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
Ecurie Julry

DhDhDh7h3h3
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
Mlle J Triomphe
G

2h7h3h6h2h9
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
Philippe Rennesson
G

0h3h5h9h9hD
Unplaced in 3 consecutive outings before his last-start disqualification at Jullianges on 25 August. Needs to reaffirm - watch for now
Ecurie Remy Despres
G

1h3h7hDh4h0
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

Race Overview
The five-year-olds seem to have the edge over their year-older rivals in this event and JURAE VET (7), with David Bekaert in the sulky, could be the one to side with ahead of hat-trick seeking JUVE D'HERIPRE (2) who should remain competitive for victory despite the step up in class. JOCKSTRAP (3), judged on his best references, is undeniably capable of playing a leading role but this remains a question of his wisdom. IMUVRINI (1) appeals most of the older brigade and shouldn't be underestimated.
