Finished 4th in a Class E at Mauquenchy on 12 September. Goes well unshod and is on form so can involved at the business end

Unreliable performer whose track experience will stand him in good stead. Well-beaten 10th (shod) over 2150m at Mauquenchy on 12 September but is presented unshod on all four for this commitment

Capable but out-of-sorts veteran with sound references, even with his irons (shod) - seldom finishes far off the mark, on a going day. Must bounce back from a disappointing 14th over 2100m at Vincennes on 7 September

Finished 4th on this course in his only visit to La Capelle, though was barefoot on that occasion. Runner-up in a 2725m mounted race at Lisieux on 13 May - shod her reappearance, so is probably for another day

Acquitted herself well (5th) over 1800m in her only foray to La Capelle in mid-June. Consistent mare with sound references, though seldom wins (just 2 victories from 58 starts). Finished 5th (shod) at Graignes on 2 September

He's making his La Capelle debut after finishing a well-beaten 13th (shod) at Bernay on 25 August on his return from a 4-month absence. Best watched for now

Versatile veteran mare with sound references in both codes, including two 2nd-place finishes in 3 track-and-trip outings. Finished 3rd in a Caboug Quinte+ with this fitting in July but failed to confirm that form/improvement when a well-beaten 12th in a 2950m Quinte+ at Le Mans on 11 September

Consistent hard-knocking veteran mare with sound references/form credentials under these conditions and at this level, which include finishing 5th ion consecutive Quinte+ races at Enghen. Didn't go unnoticed when 6th at Avenches over 2350m on14 September

Finished 6th at Lyon-Parilly on 5th September but caught the eye with an impressive late effort. In similar form and with a good run, should get involved

Unplaced on 24 August at Vincennes in a better class of a race. Is confirmed in this division and pairs up with Eric Raffin. The one to beat
Ecurie Jean-michel Baudouin

Excellent 6th at Vincennes in a better race last time out on 7 September. Has registered three victories over the course & distance and has every chance

This will be a first in La Capelle for this great traveler. The profile should not disturb this good left-hander. This summer, he experienced mixed fortunes on grass, a surface that he appreciates, but this was not always his fault. He will find the sand with pretensions. We keep.

Race Overview
Jean-Michel Baudouin wouldn't have made the arduous trip to La Capelle to take up this engagement with ICONE MADRIK (11) if he didn't think his charge had legitimate winning aspirations and the booking of Eric raffin in the sulky bodes well for her chances. GIPSY DE CHAMANT (12) is a regular in the Quinte+ category and has sound form references/credentials. She'll be up for challenge and should play a leading role. GLOIRE DU PERCHE (10) has undeniable means and her ecent form isn't a true reflection of her ability. However, with Franck Ouvrie at the helm for the first time, she is best kept onside. Front-row starters ISLA MUJERES (1) and HOLLYWOOD NIGHT (5) are consistent mares with the form and experience to stake a claim.
