Starts for first time since faulting in a 2875m Enghien Class D early-August. Top jockey on board, has twice placed over track and trip, and is unlikely to disappoint

Quality German sort taking first monte steps in a field of experienced horses and is unlikely to have any influence on the result

Pleasant in last 2, latterly 5th behind JOKER DU HAMEL (12) in a Class C over track and trip mid-month, but will still need to raise his game

Sanctioned early in a 2850m harness Class C here 3 weeks ago. Unexceptional on recent monte debut and still something of an outsider

Off the boil since the summer, most recently last but one in a 2850m harness Class C here 3 weeks ago and, even though reconfigured, can still be confidently passed over

Won 3 on the trot right-handed before finishing 6th of 9, behind JAMBIER D'OURVILLE (9), in a Class C under these conditions mid-September. Has had time to recalibrate and will be expected to show improvement

Has not been seen out since running 2nd of 8 in a Class C over course and distance last April. Has proved a revelation under the saddle though and Mathieu Mottier means business. Claim

Sanctioned when preparing for this in a 2875m Enghien harness Class B a month ago. Boasts superb monte credentials and will be no pushover

Ran 3rd over track and trip before finishing 8th of 9, when being conditioned, in a harness Class B under these conditions mid-month. Shoes off this time and could even impose

8th of 16 in a 2800m Chartres harness Class B 2 weeks ago. Looked very average on lone monte start and even with hind shoes off, appears to have too much to do

Flattering 4th of 6 finishers in a Class B over track and trip on 4 October. Front shoes off this time but others still preferred

Tough individual that has done nothing but improve lately, most recently 2nd of 7 in a Class C over course and distance mid-month, and must be regarded a decent first-5 prospect

Race Overview
JIROBELLO (7) enjoyed quite the renaissance last winter when returning to the ridden code and barefoot for comeback, can get straight back down to business. Difficult to fault when barefoot though, JAMBIER D'OURVILLE (9) made the frame under these conditions last month and will be expected to apply significant pressure. JIRI PACHA (8) returns to a discipline in which he excels and, shoes off for the occasion, must be respected. DAMISELA (1) makes her first appearance since the spell and the engagement of Alexandre Abrivard will only work to her advantage.
Selection:
7 - 9 - 8
