Returned to winning ways a fortnight ago, securing a 3300m Chartres Class F. Forced to start on the rail and, in this company, is not about to spring a surprise

Surprising 2nd at Graignes before losing his action in a 2875m Enghien Class E a fortnight ago. Hind shoes off but can still be passed over

Blows hot and cold but reassuring 2nd of 11 in a 2550m Reims Class F 3 weeks ago. New to the venue but is drawn well and not incapable of getting a look-in

Mare of ample ability but disappointing of late, most recently 9th of 11 in a 2850m Vincennes Class E late last month and, in spite of a good draw, chances still seem limited

Honest type racing barefoot for first time after finishing 10th of 15, when prepping for this, in a 2750m Cabourg Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Solid going left-handed and looks a possible spoiler

Serious sort that ran close 2nd of 14 in a 2850m Class F at Maure-de-Bretagne last Sunday. Faces a moderate bunch this time and can open his autumn account

Never-dangerous 7th of 15 in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel last weekend, and is not about to cause an upset

Takes a dip in category after finishing 12th of 15 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E a month ago. Starts wide on front line but won his only run here and cannot be discounted

7th of 14 in a 2700m Le Croise-Laroche Class E mid-October. Should appreciate this shorter trip and is unlikely to disappoint, provided Jonathan Vanmeerbeck manages to negotiate the draw

Rewarded with victory in a 2700m Segre Class F on 7 October. Unlikely to double his money but can still challenge for a spot on the podium

Produced 4 fine performances before faulting in a 2400m Amiens Class E on 5 October. Handed a tough draw but Florian Desmigneux in the bike this time and can set things straight

Modest 6th of 9 finishers in a 2625m Cherbourg claimer on 6 October, and has no possible chance

8th of 11 in a 2150m Enghien Class E mid-October. Has nothing going for him here and can be ignored

Capable mare but makes first appearance since being sanctioned in a 2725m Graignes Class E last February and is going to need the run

Sanctioned in 2 of 3 so far this term, latterly a 2750m Cabourg Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Pulled an unappealing draw and is not easy to make a case

Tenacious winner of a 2750m Cabourg Class E on 3 October. Imposed on lone run at the venue and can repeat if Pierre-Yves Verva successfully navigates the start
