Sanctioned, on first start since January, in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables-d’Olonne 9 days ago, and is going to need another run

In the frame in last 2, most recently 3rd of 13 to KAISER DES GRANGES (14) in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 7 October, but would be preferred a category down

Respectable but unthreatening 6th of 14, behind KELMEC (13), in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago and, even reconfigured, is unlikely to garner much support

11th of 13, on return from a long layoff, in a 2800m Chartres Class B 2 weeks ago. Barefoot this time, with Alexandre Abrivard in the wagon, and will be afforded every chance

7th of 14, behind KELMEC (13), in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago. Won when similarly-configured here during the spring but looks to be a race shy

Reassuring 4th of 6 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class C 10 days ago. Off the boil for some time but has buckets of ability and can win this if Julien Dubois keeps him trotting

Sanctioned on comeback 10 days ago in a 2450m Caen Class C. Has ability though, and is shod to preference, but not a player this time

Won at Enghien before coming 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2775m Class C at Les Sables-d’Olonne early-August. Steps marginally up in category but in current condition is easy to like for a minor place position

Ran 2nd over course and distance before faulting in a 2175m Class C here early last month. Cannot be considered a priority but, with application, can get a look-in

5th of 13, when preparing for this, in a 2800m Cordemais Class B 3.5 weeks ago. Has references at a superior level here and in present shape is easy to like for a place in the frame

2nd only to a very good horse in a Class C over track and trip a month ago. Unlikely to get that elusive maiden monkey off his back but still has wherewithal to make first 5

Has not been seen out since coming 5th of 8 in a 2850m Class C here 2 months ago. Is competitively-shod for re-entry and should have a lot to contribute if sufficiently fit

Has turned a corner since starting to race barefoot, most recently 2nd of 14 in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago. Eric Raffin drafted in for the occasion and has a place on the podium reserved for him

Comfortably won a 2150m Enghien Class D on 7 October. Never closer than 4th under these conditions however and others preferred

Returns to Vincennes after running 2nd of 11 over 2300m in a valuable Mons event on 21 September. Simply excels with Yoann Lebourgeois and must be considered a leading contender
