5th of 12 in a 2850m harness Class B here late last month. Sanctioned on lone appearance under the saddle and is simply not up to the task

Defied her 56/1 to come 3rd [inherited] of 9 in Gr.2 Prix Camille Lepecq on 3 September. Benjamin Rochard back in the irons and, if not a flash in the pan, will be no soft touch

Won 3 on the trot, including under these conditions, before being disqualified after coming close 3rd to FULTON (9) in Gr.2 Prix Camille Lepecq earlier this month. With application though, could pleasantly surprise

Sent for a spell after winning a 2700m Gr.3 here, returning a month ago to finish a valiant 3rd to EXTREME DESBOIS (3) in a Class A over course and distance. Will have come on for the run and looks a serious proposition

Unremarkable mare that came 7th of 9 to FULTON (9) in 3 September race of reference. Has merit but, in this company, has no realistic chance

Won a Gr.3 here during the spring but has failed to repeat, latterly 6th of 11 to EXTREME DESBOIS (3) in a Class A over course and distance on 24 August, and will need to show marked improvement

Last year’s winner that finished last of 9 when preparing for this in Gr.2 Prix Camille Lepecq earlier this month. Will be fully-fit by now and, with stride in check, can bring home the bacon once more

Unremarkable 4th to FULTON (9) in 2175m Gr.3 Prix Camille Lepecq on 3 September. Close 2nd in last year’s edition but has others to contend with this time
Ecurie Pierre Levesque

Complicated type that showed his form with a tenacious 2175m Gr.3 Prix Camille Lepecq success earlier this month. Is never easy to knock when applied and Damien Bonne will be keen to prove a point. Chance

Race Overview
Tenacious winner 12 months ago, GRANIT MESLOIS (7) went on to better things later last season; he has 2 conditioners under his belt and, barefoot as he likes, has every chance of securing his first objective of the new season. Victor Saussaye will nevertheless be legitimately concerned by last year's 5th place, FULTON (9), who was eye-catching in the Gr.2 Prix Camille Lepecq earlier this month. Like a horse reborn since mid-June, INSHORE (4) put on a good show on comeback here a month ago and will again be competitive for a spot in the mix.
Selection:
7 - 9 - 4
