Enigmatic trotter who usually acquits himself well when applied but is seldom far from a fault. Disqualified at Mauquenchy on 12 September - all or nothing

Consistent hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials, including a last-start 4th on this track over 2850m on 19 September. Not taken lightly

Bounced back to form back under the saddle with an improved 3rd in a 2725m mounted race at Pornichet on 21 September. Keep safe

Rarely seen under the saddle but acquitted himself well enough when 5th in a 2175m mounted race at this venue last time (27 September), in a better/stronger race, to play a leading role at this level

Race Overview
IN YOUR EYES (5) has scoured the province with success and returns to the Parisian region with a genuine/legitimate chance of completing the hat-trick. Rejuvenated FESTIVE HUMOR (6) is also at the top of his game so is likely to challenge the selection for race honours. Class-dropper INFIEL (8) isn't incapable of threatening the principals while barefoot-again IL TROTTS JARL (7) can make his presence felt too.
Selection:
5 - 6 - 8
