Complicated element that ran 5th of 12 to LUTIN VENESI (12) in a 2850m Class C here 2.5 weeks ago, and will simply have too much to do

Faithful servant taking to main track for first time after coming 4th to LUTIN VENESI (12) in a 2850m Class C here 2.5 weeks ago. Has ground to make up but being fitted with pads will help

Unraced since coming 3rd of 8 finishers in a 2850m Class C here on 30 August. Hind pads fitted for the occasion, with JMB back in the bike, and will justifiably generate interest

Out of the picture in last 3, latterly sanctioned in a 2825m Chartres Class B 3 weeks ago, and can be ruled out

Won 2 of last 3, latterly a 2550m Reims Class B on 20 October, but at this level, would be preferred right-handed

Useful type that ran a decent 3rd of 6 in a 2700m Class B here on 22 September, but takes on a superior lot this time and not an obvious choice

Made up for Cabourg sanction when easy winner of a 2100m Class C here on 17 September. Has freshness on his side and is eminently capable of imposing

Makes first appearance since coming 6th of 9 finishers in a 2700m Class A here late-August. 4 pads fitted this time, went close on lone start with his driver, and should be good enough to finish in the mix

Failed to confirm Rambouillet success when last of 8 in a 2825m Chartres Class B 3 weeks ago, and can be confidently passed over

Pleasant 4th of 7 finishers, on return to competition, in a 2900m Amiens Class B 12 days ago. Will have come on for the run, sports pads this time, but still no more than a minor place prospect

Classy colt that made short work of a 2100m Class C here on 4 October. Moves up in category but, given his form, should be in a position to confirm

5th to LEWIS RIVER (11) early-October before clinching a 2850m Class C here 2.5 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but is unlikely to be far off the mark either. First 5

Sanctioned in a 2700m Class A here mid-October. Enjoys a good entry here, at a more reasonable level, and if applied will be no easy touch

Convincing winner of a 2850m Parilly Class B on 10 October. Not taken seriously last time here but has never let the side down when sporting 4 pads, and is not about to start

Last of 7 in a 2700m Class A here mid-October. Struggling to reproduce spring form and even with hind pads fitted, is difficult to recommend

Race Overview
Impressive since his first steps on the track, LEWIS RIVER (11) imposed with authority over 2100m here early last month and a similar performance would ensure him a repeat result. Valiant runner-up to him that day before going on to win at Parilly, LORD DES FANES (14) looks competitive once more, but may first have to see off fine future prospect, LEDZEP (7), who dominated on his main-track debut, and the complicated LINGUIST D'HERIPRE (13) who imposed under these conditions last June.
