Finished 4th here late-August before trotting 3rd of 11 in a Class F over course and distance a month back. Will not be sent out at 274/1 this time but is unlikely to be competitive either

Unseen since faulting, on comeback, in a 2700m Graignes Class E late-May. Has had time to get his house in order and, if applied, should not be too far from the action

Out of the picture in 2 since winning on debut, most recently sanctioned in a 2475m Francheville Class F mid-August. Alexandre Abrivard at the helm this time but still not an obvious choice

Ran 3rd on debut before winning a 2800m Cholet Class G nicely on 13 September. Makes Laval debut with morale intact and is very easy to back

In the frame in 2 of last 3, latterly 2nd of 8 in a 2650m Alencon Class F 2 weeks ago, but bites off more than he can chew

Made the frame in 3 before coming 6th of 14 in a 2800m Bernay Class E on 25 August. Moves back to a hard surface and it will not be long before he makes a big splash

Won here late-May before finishing 7th of 11 in a 2450m Caen Class E a fortnight ago. Sports a new configuration, returns to racing left-handed, and must be considered a serious proposition

Won a 2850m monte Class E here on 6 September. Switches back to the harness code with little to contribute though

Opened his account well on 25 August, winning a Class G over track and trip. Steps up in category but has freshness on his side and Charles Dreux looks to have a live chance here

Runner up in last two, latterly beaten only by a very good horse in a 2775m Class F at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 20 September, and appears to have the class to impose this time

Sanctioned at Chartres before finishing 10th of 12, behind LORENZO DE BUCY (14), in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E 2 weeks ago. Has merit but must get his house in order

Showed moderate improvement when 2nd of 12 in a 2600m Class E at Blain-Bouvron-Le Gavre on 22 September, but is still being aimed too high

Honest sort that ran 4th of 9 finishers in a 2725m Graignes Class E on 2 September. Unlikely to lose his maiden status but nonetheless has the wherewithal to make first 5

Pleased in first 3 before trotting 8th of 12 in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E a fortnight ago. Sports front pads this time and can play a small part if he turns
