Tricky customer disqualified in 4 of his last 5 appearances, including consecutive recent outings - the latest on at Mauquenchy in a 2850m mounted race on 12 September

Disqualified in 3 consecutive starts under the saddle and made no impression in both subsequent outings in the harness category, the latest (7th) at Reims over 2500m on 15 September

Honest hard-knocker proven under these/similar conditions - her competitiveness at this level is beyond doubt. Shouldn't be hastily condemned for her last-start sanction at Laval on 16 September - Eric Raffin in the sulky

Out of sorts recently, albeit in the harness category - has sound references in the mounted code under these or similar conditions/in this shoe-fitting. Unplaced in a course-and-distance harness race on 13 September

Continues to blow hot and cold, though did prove he retains sufficient means to acquit himself competitively in a race of this nature by winning a 2725m mounted race at Aix-les-Bains on 9 August - not taken lightly

Inconsistent but versatile mare seldom far off the mark on a going day in either trotting discipline, Finished 7th (shod) in a 2850m harness race at Vincennes on 17 September - best watched for now

Consistent veteran trotter with solid form references/credentials, including a last-start 3rd in a similar race over course and distance on 4 September. Will be factor

Complicated mare with undeniable means and sound references/form credentials in the mounted category, including a last-start 4th over course and distance on 4 September. Keep safe

Consistent, versatile veteran who has found a new lease on life since reverting to the mounted trot - winner over course and distance in July and finished 3rd in 3 subsequent outings, the latest at Craon on 2 September
