3rd in a tough event here late-August before running 4th of 12 in a 2825m Chartres Class F 9 days ago. Unlikely to cause an upset but can nevertheless make first 5

Has taken particularly well to French conditions, most recently making short work of a 2850m Class D here a month ago. Has nothing to prove over these shorter trips and is ideally-positioned to win this

3rd of 11 to HALO AM (2) in a 2850m Class D here on 21 August. Entrusted to Eric Raffin for first time and should be able to close the gap somewhat

Won 2 of last 3, latterly by little in a 2950m Le Mans Class E 11 days ago. Has references here, is barefoot for the occasion, and should not be overlooked

Won 2 on turf last month before disappointing 13th of 14 in a Class E over course and distance a fortnight ago. Sports 4 pads for first time but others still preferred

Returns to Vincennes after faulting in a 3150m Abbeville Class F on 24 August. Has made the frame on both occasions under these conditions however and, reunited with Matthieu Abrivard, will be afforded every chance

Sanctioned when never at his ease in a 2850m Class D here a month ago. Is plainly in form though and will be no easy touch if Gabi Gelormini keeps him trotting

Last but one in a 3150m Abbeville Class E 2 weeks ago. Has looked very ordinary of late and can be passed over

Has done nothing of note recently, latterly 7th of 10, behind GAULE ROMAINE (8), in a 2550m Cherbourg Class E on 19 August, and has no possible chance

Hardy element with an enviable strike-rate. Sanctioned when favourite in a 2700m Class F at La Capelle 2 weeks ago. Has no references here but will still generate some interest
