9th of 12, behind LUCKY LUMALO (9) in a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-October. Is not going to be rushed and while not a priority this time, he will be soon

9th of 13 in a 2150m Enghien Class D 10 days ago, on just 2nd start back. Still in conditioning mode and will have few takers

Put a pair of sanctions behind him to come 5th of 11 in a 2450m Caen Class C 3.5 weeks ago. Sports 4 pads for first time and should not be overlooked

Useful filly making first appearance since coming 2nd of 8 in a 2875m Enghien Class E early-August. Shod for the occasion though and not an obvious choice

Has not been seen out since winning a 2875m Argentan Class D late-May. Has no left-handed references, and will need the run

Last but one, on return to competition, in a 2700m Vincennes Class C a week ago. Will have progressed for the run and while unlikely to get off the mark, can still pick up a cheque

Left a decent impression at Craon late-September, coming 6th of 12 finishers in a 2750m Class B. Comes here fresh, breaks on front line, and must be considered a respectable first-5 prospect

Failed to confirm good September performance when 8th of 10 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class A on 18 October. Has bags of potential though and the change of driver may do just the job

Showed improvement when 5th to LIGHT MY FIRE (16) in a 2775m Class B at Les Sables-d'Olonne 2.5 weeks ago. On back line again but, with form maintained, could well make the frame this time

Serious future prospect with just one race in her since the summer break, coming 4th of 10 finishers in a 2800m Rambouillet Class B a month ago. Has been afforded time to come on and will have her supporters

Quality colt that easily won a 2775m Class B at Les Sables-d'Olonne 2.5 weeks ago. Is head-and-shoulders superior to the opposition and should have this wrapped up
Ecurie Hunter Valley
Race Overview
A group-class colt with nothing to prove in this class, LIGHT MY FIRE (16) was never bothered last time out and the 25m penalty should pose no issue. Leading the opposition is the progressive LUCKY LUMALO (9) who returns to racing shod after a solid Enghien run, 2nd line starter L'AS DESBOIS (14) who was by no means disgraced behind Franck Nivard's horse at Les Sables, and LOVE GLORY (13) who takes a dip in category with a good hand to play.

16 - 9 - 14
