Produced a pair of good efforts at Les Andelys before faulting in a 2700m Segre Class F on 6 October. Gets on well with Herve Jouault and, if applied, has a decent chance of fighting out the finish

Came 3rd in a Rambouillet amateur event before running 8th of 11 in a 2750m Class E at Le Pertre last Saturday. Seldom disappoints at this level when focused and will be worth retaining as an interesting outsider

Has not been seen out since faulting in a 3100m Chinon Class H mid-August. Has references in the amateur division but still looks out of her depth

10th of 12 behind HAMILTON DU LUPIN (16) in a 3000m Nantes amateurs Class G 3.5 weeks ago. Out of sorts since the spring and must get his act together

Takes first steps in amateur category after finishing 5th of 14 in a 3275m Saumur Class E on 20 October. On front row but others still preferred

Useful sort making first appearance since September 2023. Shoes on and will be eased gently back into competition

Has references in the amateur division but out of the picture lately and others easier to back

3rd in the professional ranks before finishing 8th of 14 in a 2850m Vincennes amateurs Class G on 1 October. Not easy to gauge but, if focused, can play a part

4th of 14, on amateur debut, in a 2850m Vincennes Class G on 1 October. Benefits from a front-row break and can play a leading role

Twice 4th before finishing 7th of 13 in a 2775m amateurs Class G at Les Sables on 20 September. Incurs the penalty but has won twice in the amateur category here and must not be overlooked

Failed to deliver when 7th to HAMILTON DU LUPIN (16) in a 3000m Nantes amateurs Class G 3.5 weeks ago. Imposed 3 months ago, at this level, for her driver and even from back line looks a player

Capable in this category but has not been seen out since running 14th of 15 in an amateurs Class F here last June, and will need the run

Returns to the amateur ranks after finishing last of 12 in a 2150m Enghien claimer a fortnight ago. On second line, shod, and chances limited

Ran 3rd in the professional ranks here before coning 2nd of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 4 October. Clearly back at his best and, despite the handicap, still looks a serious proposition

Disappointing for some time, latterly 9th of 11 in a 2850m Class F at Nuille-sur-Vicoin on 13 October, and has no realistic chance

Made no bones about winning a 3000m Nantes amateurs Class G on 7 October. Trainer could not have wished for better conditions and, with the experienced Poirier back in the bike, can win this
