7th of 11 to IQUEM D'AMER (12) in a 2650m Class D here late-September. Won over course and distance last spring but still looks to have too much to do

Has not been seen out since winning a 2450m Caen Class F last June. Sports 4 pads for re-entry though and, like many of Mathieu Mottier's horses, should be fresh for comeback. Place chance

Made it 2 on the trot when dominating a 3000m Borely Class E 3 weeks ago. Excellent in last 2 Laval starts and can expect to garner the lion's share of support

Got back in the game at Meslay but failed to confirm last Sunday when 8th of 13 in a 2875m Enghien Class D and, with 4 pads fitted, is unlikely to generate much interest

8th of 14, when preparing for this, in a 2775m Class E at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 21 October. Nevertheless showed his form that day and the new configuration can make all the difference. Chance

Race Overview
Rejuvenated since returning to racing barefoot, ILMAT DES KECHES (10) boasts a good Laval record and the hat-trick appears to be well within his grasp. He will nevertheless encounter resistance from the eclectic IDEFIX DU MANS (14) who races with 4 pads for the first time, and INSTANT D'HAUFOR (13) who is shod to preference following a pair of conditioners. Seldom disappointing when focused, HAMIGO (9) has no Laval references and returns from a rest, but has never disappointed in the day's configuration and must be respected.
