Turned a corner over the summer, latterly 4th of 7 in a 2150m Cagnes Class E on 19 August. Placed just once in 3 clockwise starts and is not about to spring a surprise

Never far from faulting but came a reassuring 4th of 9 in a Pornichet Class E late-August. Comes here fresh, starts in front, and looks eminently capable of finishing in the mix

Made up for his Tours disappointment when losing his maiden tag in a 2600m Class E at Blain-Bouvron-Le Gavre 10 days ago. Unlikely to repeat but can still play an active role

Interesting future prospect starting for first time since comfortably winning a 2550m Bordeaux Class F late-April, and is unlikely to be given a hard race

6th of 9, a place behind LOLLIPOP STAR (7), in a 2200m Vichy monte Class D 11 days ago. Seldom makes his presence felt under harness and is not about to start

Won on debut before finishing 9th of 11 in a 2600m Landivisiau Class F on 1 September. Has had time to recalibrate and is well-placed to put things right

Back under harness after finishing 5th of 9 in a 2200m Vichy monte Class D 11 days ago. Front pads fitted for first time and will be worth monitoring

Useful filly making her first start since coming 4th of 12 in a 2200m Caen Class D late-June, but will be expected to need the run

Defied his odds to come 2nd of 9 in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-September. Could not have asked for a better entry and with David Thomain at the helm, can open his seasonal account

Last but one on return to competition in a 2950m Le Mans Class D 3 weeks ago. Has other priorities though and will have little to offer

Solid in last 3, latterly 2nd of 6 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E a month ago. Incurs the penalty but the new shoeing formula could make all the difference. Chance

Last of 5 in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class D a fortnight ago and, under harness, has no possible chance

Unraced since faulting in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class B on 18 June. Has other priorities and can be ruled out

Sanctioned early in a 2700m Vincennes Class D last week. Debuts right-handed, with Eric Raffin reining, and even from the back row has a decent chance of expressing her potential

Sanctioned as often as not but opened his account in a 2775m Class D at Les Sables-d'Olonne 2 months ago. Races first-time clockwise but has the wherewithal to get in on the action. First 5

Sanctioned in last 3, latterly a 2600m Cherbourg Class B a week ago. On back line, but drops in category and, with application, could pleasantly surprise

Last of 10 in a 2100m Vincennes Class C a fortnight ago. Shoes back on and, in current form, can be passed over

Missed out by little in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on Saturday. Takes on the colts this time though and, despite the good entry, chances still limited
