7th of 9 to JINGER (4) in a 2800m Vire Class F 2.5 weeks ago and, in current condition, will have few friends

Sanctioned in last 3, most recently a 2800m Class H at Villedieu-les-Poeles last Sunday, and can be confidently ruled out

Moves back to the monte code after winning a 2400m Ploublay harness Class H 2 weeks ago. Has yet to make her mark in the discipline though and even with Adrien Lamy on board, will still have too much to do

Got off the mark, at 25th time of asking, in a 2800m Vire Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Beat JARKA DE BEYLEV (14) that day but looks more a minor place chance this time

Last of 7 when being prepared for this in a 2725m Pornichet Class F on 29 August. Shoes on again and will have nothing to contribute

Defied her 73/1 to come 3rd of 14 in a 2750m Cabourg Class F 3.5 weeks ago and must be taken more seriously this time. Place chance

Has 2 races under her belt since the break, most recently sanctioned [on her way to coming 5th] in a 2800m Vire Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Barefoot on this occasion but takes on a tougher lot this time

8th of 11 in a 2850m Class H at Bagnoles-de-l’Orne late last month, but ran 3rd here in June, goes barefoot for the occasion, and the engagement of Thibaut Dromigny will do her prospects no harm

5th here 12 days ago before finishing last but one in a 2800m Class H at Villedieu-les-Poeles last Sunday. Has merit but may just be biting off more than she can chew

Showed marked improvement on her Cabourg performance when 2nd of 8 in a 2400m Amiens Class F a fortnight ago. Hind shoes off this time and, already a course-and-distance winner, looks a leading contender

Has acquitted herself decently in last 2 monte starts, latterly 5th behind JOIE DE VIVRE (10) in a 2400m Amiens Class F 2 weeks ago. Shoes off this time and looks an interesting outside chance

Last but one, behind JALISCA DE CHENU (16), in a 2775m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne 2 weeks ago. More competitively-shod on this occasion and, entrusted to Benjamin Rochard for first time, must not be underestimated

Back under the saddle after 3 solid harness performances, latterly 3rd of 7 in a 2550m Class E at Beaumont-de-Lomagne earlier this month. Has yet to make her mark in the code but benefits from having a capable rider in the irons

Tricky but talented mare that was just pipped by JINGER (4) in a 2800m Vire Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Has good references here and, with application, can win this

Useful under the saddle when applied, and returns to the code after coming 6th of 9 in a 2550m Dieppe harness Class F 12 days ago. Barefoot for the occasion, is an honest mare and, with some luck in running, can pick up a cheque

Has progressed lately, latterly 5th of 9 in a 2775m Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne a fortnight ago. Is confirmed at this level but appears to be facing a stiff test this time around

Debuts in the discipline after coming 6th of 8 finishers in a 2550m Gournay-en-Bray Class F 3 weeks ago. Is never far from surprising though and must be afforded significant respect
